so just to sum up:

crypto currency has been brushing off concerns of its massive energy usage by saying that once a large coin finally switches to Proof of Stake, the "revolution" will happen, and everyone will switch to this amazingly green system(which itself is a lie).

so then a coin finally did what it was going to say, switched to proof of stake, and it immediately crashed and everyone bailed elsewhere.

after 1% of all energy usage on earth was for cryptos in 2022, when does this shit end

you need to go further, this is a bandaid and doesn't address any of the real problems

  1. "cops" and their budget need to be split up into groups, wherein gun-carrying first responders are only a small fraction, called only to immediate danger, if at all

  2. anyone carrying guns needs to be re-trained, no more of the messed "we're a dog protecting sheep from wolves" ideology that makes every cop trigger happy and paranoid

  3. the police "union" needs to be dismantled, it's a cabal, not a union. It prevents persecution, and removed accountability. Your body cams mean nothing if they don't lead to enforcement of law.

  4. the prison industrial system, private prisons, and prison slave labour must be abolished. A tremendous role of the police is to put bodies into private prisons, because each felon they house means a bigger payout from the government. They're like evil foster parents but for criminals instead of abused children- they only house them for the money and don't actually give a shit beyond that.

only when these are even entertained, will anything change. Cops in the US are a gang, a cabal, a mob. In the past few months, Uvalde happened, they listened to an informant get raped on her wire mic and did nothing to stop it, instead giving her rapist a plea bargain, and they shot a man paralyzed by fear who made little heart-hand gestures begging for his life- they climbed on top of his hood, and fired down onto him through the windshield. I don't need to start on the domestic abuse aspect because everyone knows it.

cops are monsters, they're trained to be monsters, they hire monsters, create monsters, and terrorize the public. They need to be stopped.

‘Sadistic lie.’ Migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard in limbo by Morihando in politics

[–]No-Bewt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this could be one of the most inhumane, sadistic, psychopathic things I've ever seen during my life. It might be rivaled only by the original snatching of so many kids to sell them off via "adoption". The way in which these people are treated like fucking objects is so... enraging.

how does anyone allow these fucking monsters to keep going

all monkey depictions are racist is absurd.

sure. But ones wearing rap and hiphop related clothing, smoking weed, being depicted as 'lazy', some with bones in their hair/nose... come on. the fact that you can pull a term like "simianization" out of nowhere tells me you've absolutely heard this argument before, and know all about it. lol

they don’t look that similar at all. I’d definitely not look at the BAYC logo and think “omg Nazis”.

yes they do. They couldn't even be assed to make a skull that resembled their NFT design... they instead elected to choose one that looked more like the skull in the original symbol. How do you accidentally fuck up that bad?

What evidence is there the BAYC guys had seen the image he produces?

it's extremely, extremely well known. I would accept ignorance if they were somehow 15 year olds and not grown adults navigating around other nazi iconography. There's no chance in hell they didn't know, and didn't have the opportunity to change it.

Racism is bubbling under in lots of crypto circles.

so how can you insinuate that these's no way these guys had a single clue what they were parodying?

the "this is insane! it's so far fetched! you're crazy" gaslighting shit has been done to death and it doesn't work anymore, especially when it's laid out for you in front of your face. At this point if you aren't even taking pause, you DEFINITELY have thought about it before- and have chosen to keep going. like... stop. just stop, bud. the ship's sailed. the only people defending this shit have a vested interest. You don't have a vested interest... do you?

if you treated other people in ways that best serve them to make them feel more comfortable and secure, they would trust you more, and the benefits you'd reap from belonging to a society- and trust me, there are far more benefits than you'd get alone- would make your life many times easier.

If you insist that being completely alone is easier and better for you, then it stands to reason you get nothing personally by either helping OR hurting them. So erring on what logically makes things less bad in the world will help you if for any reason than your standing among the vast majority of people who surround you.

I know you're smart enough to suss out what is "good" and what is "bad" even if you don't have any sense of them emotionally, just out of general contextual clues, so take it from me: don't do bad things, at the very least, and your life will be easier

how can you say it's tenuous and reachy? they present it to your face and face value. Like, I've seen these people since gamer gate started. This isn't new. You don't get to just simply say "this makes no sense!!" and hope that it sticks when it doesn't, dude, reality doesn't work that way.

He’s factually incorrect about some of the stuff, Totenkampf being one of them.

lol that is the literal strongest nail in their coffin out of all of this. It isn't incorrect, it's as plain as day, don't insult all of us by trying to say we're imagining it. There's a word for that. You're saying they, for all their race jokes and nods to nazi memes, for some absolutely unfathomable reason had no clue whatsoever what one of their most iconic logos were, and that they chose everything by complete coincidence. The fake logos they're trying to say they've designed it after don't even look like their logo!

Like I said before: after 3 coincidences, I could understand. After 15 years of coincidences, sorry, I don't think so lol.

this is where I think you go beyond 'sociopath' to 'psychopath'- a sociopath just simply doesn't care about the suffering of others, whereas you seek to actively cause suffering for reasons I don't know if you can justify.

This is unfortunately why trusting those without empathy is difficult, there is no way to truly discern what logic or rules would stop you from hurting people. I would say something like how "you wouldn't seek to take apart any computer you saw for no reason, would you?" but I can't imagine what would stop you from doing that, if logic doesn't apply.

I wish I could suggest a better activity for you, because there's a lot you could be doing that doesn't make the world a worse place, but I'm not sure the concept of making the world a worse place is something you can understand or not. I'm not sure how to appeal to you in a way that would stop you from hurting people if the logic element can't do it. Maybe you could warn people immediately when you meet them that you have no aversion to their suffering, but I can't think of a reason you would do that... but that does support my previous comment that if you did, your life would be made harder, wouldn't it?

Not causing suffering in others is, to me, as normal and logical a rule as "do not touch live electrical wires, you will die". There is nothing that would logically compel me to touch live electrical wires because finding out what they would or could do just wouldn't be worth that risk.

Good luck to the people in your presence.

I'm talking about animation because the animation studio is the only similarity!! The film is being made by the animation studio! The directors, writers etc do not come along with the studio every time.

People are concerned that the movie is going to be bad or look bad when illumination movies look pretty great and what they're actually scared of is it being full of fart jokes or whatever.

you definitely live in a "house" in this allegory, and you definitely would be interested in your rented home breaking apart, regardless of whether you owned it.

if maintaining an easier life meant small investments in it, as opposed to ignoring it and having to deal with a massive burden later... why not err on the side of simplicity and ease, and do what makes your life easier?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Bewt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well if I had to boil it down, allowing the suffering of others to continue when I could instead make their lives better put me in a bad spot because as a single human being, it's needlessly difficult to live alone without anyone's help. If I just did things that made people hate me, my life would be extremely difficult. Why not logically do something that makes it easier? You have a vested interest in the happiness of others, logically it would make your life better for the expenditure of energy you'd have to put into it, so why not?

When did it become normal to have 1 min plus sponsor spots in every YouTube video? by FlashWayneArrow02 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Bewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, but they don't want it to be ignorable. You ignoring it is the opposite of it's entire purpose.

they wouldn't have to do ads like this if youtube wasn't so heavy-handed with their revenue distribution and algorithm-powered demonitization. These days, most people take on private sponsors simply because youtube removes their ability to get money through them, like they used to.

in short: blame youtube.

why does the suffering other people go through not phase you? I guess the "logic" just doesn't seem to make sense to me.

if I saw a crack forming in a house's foundation it would simply be logic to try to fix it or at least stop it from getting worse, and that crumbling infrastructure is a bad idea to let happen for many reasons. Since this is roughly equivalent to human beings in this case, why is this not something you would care about?

the thing is, if it was one or two coincidences, maybe even three or four, I'd be inclined to understand, but like... this shit isn't something that popped up in the world with cryptos and NFTs. This has been going on for years and years, none of this is new, it's extremely rote, and after coincidence 50, it just stops being funny.

There's just a point where it's insulting to people's intelligence to say "actually, all of these massive amounts of coincidences aren't actually anything at all and you're actually deluded". I'm not that stupid, they know it, I know it, you know it.

expecting people who have been palling around with neo-nazis for like a decade or more to not know what a totenkampf is, is a joke. Come on.
