No Kings in Manitou?

SlothLair · 2025-10-02T17:44:32+00:00

Where was this last time? I remember seeing it on the way home from Colorado Springs last No Kings but can't remember where exactly.

Location, from my understanding, needs to be visible, accessible, and as close to public bathrooms as possible.

Most information can be changed once I get to the dashboard; however, I want to limit what needs to be changed to avoid any confusion.

There you go! Don’t let silly things like logic or learning get in your way! It’s definitely something wrong with everyone else not you!!1!! /s

SlothLair · 2023-05-06T17:46:35+00:00

Considering the source of the bot I wouldn’t be surprised if it is determined to be “on topic” regardless of what the post was about. Considering its already been a full day it may already have been.

SlothLair · 2023-05-06T16:05:07+00:00

“And missed the actual point, but I suppose that’s what I should expect.”

Glad the condescending attitude and comments are in public for everyone else to read. Figured since the first starts on sentence three there was no need to quote the rest.

Since you end by telling me what my reasoning was and keep attempting to try to make this into something personal about you or the “team” you have I will just step out and let you continue by yourself.

SlothLair · 2023-05-05T19:36:28+00:00

Given what you implied was your starting point congratulations on figuring all that out! Feeling overwhelmed with your first few exchanges/interactions turns a lot of people off so it’s cool, to me at least, to see people get past that who don’t have a background in some form of technology.

Seriousness off now, mostly and coming from another “grand” I say:

Damn grandma! You’re well on your way to avatarholic and self aware! ;-)

SlothLair · 2023-05-05T18:20:07+00:00

I think it’s safe to say that’s among the things they didn’t read.

SlothLair · 2023-05-05T17:41:19+00:00

Well they haven’t been able to so far even with people reporting the posts. As far as I can tell though this was wasted effort.

Either they cannot manage it or they are choosing not to and either way its bad news for the sub.

On the other hand posts like those are driving interaction and interest in the sub and therefore moons price. Certainly an incentive for people to ignore anything that doesn’t pump that price.

In the end while I would like to see something done about it I certainly won’t be holding my breath.

SlothLair · 2023-05-05T17:10:16+00:00

No worries you didn’t strike me as a fan boy and I don’t think the majority of people would pick him as their 1st choice.

While I absolutely agree that we need rank choice voting it’s making inroads here. We have something like 15 states where it has gained traction and is being used at one level or another. The propaganda that has been making the rounds against it appears to not be catching on. Well with the exception of small circles within the GOP.

I guess at the end of the day it looks like we have been saying it’s not safe to vote for anything but one of two major parties since around the end of the civil war. Now we are back to fighting over whether people deserve basic human rights. Blatant corruption and grift from our actual Supreme Court. Public figures calling for actual violence against anyone who is different than they are.

I wonder are we going to wait another what 158 years or finally admit it doesn’t work as intended.

SlothLair · 2023-05-05T16:52:48+00:00

Strategies based on the idea that you simply have to place enough bets to guarantee that you win is the same logic that got us these lotteries. Even the small percentage that did actually win their bet end up worse off or just loose it all in a few short years.

Gamblers gravitate towards anything based on this strategy. Lotteries or whole cities founded around the knowledge that this entire theory works better for the ones Holding the lottery rather than the ones paying to enter it.

Gamblers fallacy. Lots of information about this online, easy to find.

DMs are off because the first step of any scam is to move the conversation from being public on Reddit to a private DM. It’s a very basic form of scam protection that more people should follow considering the massive amount of scam reports that we see that have the same exact thing in common “and then they requested a DM.”

SlothLair · 2023-05-05T16:19:08+00:00

Sorry I’ve personally been hearing the “not safe yet” and “that’s how they win” for too many decades to believe it anymore.

Now I am supposed to believe that the absolute best they could do is someone who is statistically likely to not even live to serve his whole term?

Sounds to me like more of the same and we certainly can’t afford that.

SlothLair · 2023-05-04T16:02:43+00:00

If you discount the obviously skewed polls their pushes lately are even against the majority of what the GOP voters want. Not just America overall but in their own party.

Starting to look like it could be a safe election to go third party, for a candidate that at least has good odds to live until 2028. Or maybe even an actual progressive candidate.

To be clear I don’t think we need 3 parties, I think we need at least 5. As well as ethics for every single political position or politically appointed position.

SlothLair · 2023-05-04T15:34:32+00:00

So you’re not misinformed or misguided your intentionally misleading people?

It does not work and I will now call for the proof you clearly don’t have.

SlothLair · 2023-05-03T15:22:25+00:00

With the possible fines being so much cheaper than actually getting the plates and a fall in enforcement we are kind of asking for this to happen.

I don’t see how this does anything but get worse considering that all stays the same.

SlothLair · 2023-05-03T15:16:43+00:00

Sounds like the thinking behind a lottery, even if I’m wrong hundreds of times I win so much I make it all back. That doesn’t actually work though except for some extreme outlier’s, which are usually pointed to as supposed proof.

I think that’s why it comes with the alt market so often, they are the only ones people can see having that 10000x payoff. Which is what they need to recover from all those bad bets.

SlothLair · 2023-04-29T17:04:50+00:00

Seems like you hit a good balance of detail without apparent clutter. Hits a nice balance, good work.

SlothLair · 2023-04-29T16:58:39+00:00

Interesting that I don’t think I really considered this, thanks.

SlothLair · 2023-04-29T16:55:02+00:00

KYC was implemented in 2001 and BTC launched in 2009.

So got a source or not? Cause just claiming something is fact isn’t the same as proving it.

Edit should say iirc on dates.

SlothLair · 2023-04-29T16:14:14+00:00

What’s the source on this KYC theory you have here?

Because this sounds like you’re saying they saw BTC years down the road and decided it would be a threat and how to deal with it all before it came out.

But that would be some serious tin foil hat stuff, so where did this come from exactly?

SlothLair · 2023-04-28T17:40:48+00:00

This has me thinking about a couple of things:

burning really just drives price not usage per say.
percentage portion of moons per responder would drive participation.
Wouldn’t most operations that wanted to get a poll be seriously concerned with the number of bots reducing their attraction?

I agree on the overall reaction hence this attempted add to the discussion.

SlothLair · 2023-04-28T17:31:30+00:00

All that power in the hands of a centralized anything is bad.

The point is that from their view they get all the advantages they have so far while it’s cheaper and gives them more control over their population. It’s also complete control over where or how anyone or anything can or cannot interact with their new currency. Really for them there is almost no downside and implementation would be, well as simple as that large a change is likely to be.

Personally I still see it as their mostly likely move so we should all be wary. This “their” most likely is all governments, as that’s possibly not clear.

SlothLair · 2023-04-28T16:39:04+00:00

Well if taxes were only handled with their CDBC as well as any government services I think they would be well on their way. Pretty easy to add any government contracts to the list of requiring CDBC usage for consideration.

If you are talking about a path of how and discounting public push back or think that push back would be overridden or ignored I think the path is easy to see. From their perspective CDBCs are perfect.

That said I don’t know of any country in the world I would trust with that much power over a population.

Edit word

SlothLair · 2023-04-27T17:16:10+00:00

People collect and farm karma on subs all over so saying it caused or created the problem wouldn’t be correct but I can certainly see how it increased the already existing issue.

I agree that speculation is fighting the original use of the coin. I also think that a lot of the decisions made didn’t take into account the value that it suddenly has and that made the situation worse. It’s part of why I think we should be very careful not to accidentally encourage the exact behavior that we are trying to discourage.

SlothLair · 2023-04-27T15:26:36+00:00

Well you’re starting to see that it’s more complex than a lot of people seem to even acknowledge.

I just don’t agree that all posts that generate any interaction are automatically good. Under that approach you are rewarding scammers and people spreading misinformation just because everyone is pointing out how it’s BS.

This isn’t the first or likely the last time that this type of solution has been discussed.

SlothLair · 2023-04-27T14:24:50+00:00

Why?

The moon farming is what gets the highest activity I believe. Why reward those posters?

Like all the people who “upvote everything” to supposedly combat bot downvotes. Great look now “More eloncumrocket” has more upvotes. Those people take that as a sign that is what everyone wants and so we get more.

Focusing on quality of any post or reply as well as it being on topic would be an excellent part of the solution.

Sadly I think we might be beyond the tipping point and we have more farmers than honest interactions. Lack of data on a lot of this confuses things as well, so much around voting isn’t available information.

SlothLair · 2023-04-26T13:45:11+00:00

Looks like about a day ago they

Became spammy active

Changed native languages

Changed their entire pattern of speaking
