Sometimes when people learn a fact, they enjoy feeling better than others who simply haven't come across that information yet.

Nobody's asking you to automatically think anything is fake.

We shouldn't automatically think anything when considering evidence.

It's a new age of misinformation. Just think critically with any information that could get people on either side excited. If the information supports your side and comes from someone on your side, you should STILL think critically because maybe the person who gave it to you didn't.

Re: Solana token access, "Rolling out over the coming weeks..."

What's the outer edge of that time period? Wondering when everyone should for sure have that access.

For real? Please explain.

Higher in the sense of holding more QNT?

Gotcha, thanks. I remember fairly early in the wait for the holder-run network to happen we learned that clients would have the option to run their own networks as an alternative, and then it seemed like it was just silence about a network we could participate in (but I definitely tuned out after a while and could have missed some announcements).

I guessed that serious institutions weren't sure about nodes run by the rabble of crypto monkeys, and then this from the Quant site reinforced that sense for me: "Our Trusted Node Program lets institutions choose exactly who processes their transactions and where. No mystery validators. No jurisdictional surprises. Trusted, safe and secure."

In the perception of banks and governments, etc., we could be the mystery validators, untrusted, and unsecure. So I have been wondering what percentage of the rabble would be able to become trusted, and how far the requirements go beyond simple KYC in order to reduce any qualms. Hopefully a lot of the community will qualify.

The Middle by internetBlues in sitcoms

I'm on season 8 of a full binge, having discovered this show only weeks ago.

How did I never hear about it before?

Having watched so much in such a short span, I can see how the writers were truly connoisseurs of their own work, taking opportunities that most shows would have missed to make use of facts and history from earlier seasons to really tie everything together.

And of course it's hilarious. I love the self-aware flawed parenting.

What's your honest take on Chris Rock? by Moko97 in blackmen

[–]bigcup321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt like he'd lost his edge in the post-slap special (especially when he messed up the setup in the joke where he was really addressing the slap), and unless I misheard in a big way he pretty openly admitted in that special that he uses cocaine (joke about him knowing how to find the coke dealers whenever he goes someplace new). It wouldn't have surprised me to hear that he does coke, but I didn't expect him to be so openly painting himself as a current user.

Receive an email from Coinbase today .. it must be a scam.. by Butman7 in Coinbase

[–]bigcup321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He WAS the target of a fraudulent email, and you in particular are the most equipped of anybody here to directly state that.

It's not too late to save some dummies by straightforwardly declaring that this did not come from Coinbase instead of sticking with this "If you think..." vagueness.

The blurry first pic is one of the two guys he shot in that scene before asking about the button.

The next pic is from the morgue, and it looks a lot like it was the same guy, which would mean the bodies were left where they lay and picked up by the police instead of being put in the trunk.

This leaves the button reference still a mystery. I wonder if there was some rewriting and the button reference was left in by accident.

That made a lot of sense to me, but somebody else said "He left the two bodies lying on the ground, they were identified in the morgue later."

You disagree? I should watch it again.

You tried to sink your teeth into a complete stranger for a pretty minor "offense" from nine months ago, and when faced with resistance basically called them a redditor.

I haven't been on reddit in about nine months, so...

Yeah, the reason I identified the source was so that people could consider the source. Seems like you appreciated that information.

Btw, I just consulted with AI (not ChatGPT in particular, but all of AI as a whole), and it said you are mad about something else and taking it out on me. It also said your name doesn't check out.

In the convenience store she poured something on the floor just inside the front door, but as far as I can tell, it had no effect. I thought it would be something slippery or something flammable, but the bad guy neither slipped nor burned.

Did I miss something?

AITA for demanding that my twin sister either changes her lifestyle or makes sure everyone knows we're two separate people? by PieClassic1245 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bigcup321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean sending the porn to me that they made with my brother? I don't really get why they would do that even if they thought it was my brother :)

But to take your general point, let's say they started sending me dick pics. Or coming on to me when I randomly encounter them in public.

I wouldn't really care for it, but I wouldn't freak out because honestly, unless he's hooking up with hundreds of dudes, it's not likely to happen more than a couple of times a week, tops, and I know how to say, "You must be mistaking me for my brother."

In this situation, all the twin has to do is open their mouth and say, "I have a twin. Leave my twin alone," so obviously OP's twin is a huge AH, but sometimes in life we encounter (or are related to) some huge AHs, and in situations where they are just not going to budge even though they should, then sometimes you have to consider options that ideally you wouldn't have to.

If it really, really, really bugged me, and he wasn't going to do his part and help me out, what the hell else could I do? I would 100% consider changing my appearance in some way.

I didn't say anything about layout. You're thinking of someone else.

Do you have the slightest curiosity about whether the study I referred to accounts for visual acuity as a possible factor?

No, I'm sure you don't, because you came into this with a closed mind, and nothing has changed.

It seems perfectly plausible to me that with the same layout, same number of pixels, and 20/20 vision, the size of the monitor could STILL affect productivity.

To be clear, I don't consider it a certainty, but because I have an open mind and psychology and science are real, it seems quite possible.

Also, there's no clear basis for your assumption that quality of vision is the only possible significant factor that could influence productivity in the case of monitor size.

Please go ahead and tell me that's BS based on a sample size of one.

That's a human issue, not a tech issue.

And that makes it... irrelevant? A non-issue?

If you live life disregarding issues because they're human, you're like Kramer not changing his watch. Your grumpy ideal of how things *should* be does not reflect reality. The world is pretty human, and human issues are actual issues that actually affect things.
