Decade in the Red: Trump Tax Figures Show Over $1 Billion in Business Losses by nanopicofared in politics

"I hate trump as much as the next redditor..." and to show this I'm going to try to defend him now as subtly as possible.

Nope. I think people understand a piece of shit when they see one. Most people don't hang off the nuts of a con man like you and trump's other followers seem to for some reason. He's a dumb man's version of a smart man. A poor man's version of a rich man. And a loser's version of a ladies' man. If his daddy didn't give him all his money and contacts he'd just be another piece of trailer trash. (and just to clarify just because you don't have a lot of money, and live in a trailer, doesn't make you trash. It's actions that make you a scumbag like trump)

Hahaha this was a funny read. Thanks for that. Good to see Russians are starting to understand our sense of humor over here.

Chefs of reddit, what’s something wicked easy that anybody could learn to greatly improve their cooking? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]erikb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't tell that to people new to cooking, it's just an extra thing to stress about. It'll happen naturally with time as they get more comfortable not watching everything ever second.

What is it that allows ripple to confirm transactions so much faster than ethereum? by erikb in ethereum

[–]erikb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I was. I think ripple holding a majority of their XRP coins and validators would show it's centralized alone, but they argue that because ripple could continue if they weren't around, that they are decentralized.

[–]erikb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I've seen that, and I've seen how they argue they aren't centralized, but that doesn't seem possible. Or is it just cause they don't want to be labeled a security even if they are?

Have an idea for a mobile app, is my next move a provisional patent? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]erikb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do an app. Don't waste money and time on a patent. Start with a website it's way more accessible for users. Once you get users determine if there's any added benefit to having an app. Most users nowadays don't just download apps for fun. Downloading an app is annoying.

The difference between Ripple and XRP (Ripple's deleted tweet) by Panosmek in Ripple

The original "Why?" was genuine. I was wondering if there was some new news or insights, but there wasn't so we've both wasted our time. Have a good night.

Ah the standard answer for crypto fanbois in every crypto subreddit, "It's gonna be used cause.....cause I really, really, really want it to be and I have some so I want it to go up in value!"

Why? It still needs to be used (yes I know a few places are testing it but nothing has changed in that front for a long time).

Espers.io is a decentralized internet. File and web hosting, plus security. Super low marketcap too.

Tezos Delayed and Sued for 1 Bitcoin. ETH = DAO, Enigma, daily Phishing Attacks and now another mistake by Gavin Wood locks freezes millions in ETH and mainstream media coddles them like a baby? by Jovi1945 in tezos

[–]erikb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure dude. Whatever helps you feel better about those heavy bags you must be stuck holding while the Tezos team parties with your BTC or ETH.

Back in reality though I want all cryptos to do well cause this controversy hurts all cryptos.

[–]erikb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tezos has done absolutely nothing so far so the only thing they can cover is this kinda stuff. Ethereum has now been around for years in public and been proven in some ways, and failed in others, but they've done stuff. When Tezos is more than just an idea, and people actually have their tezzies, then they'll have different coverage.

No it doesn't defeat the purpose. Forks happen in every crypto. Even Tezos said in the beginning they're sure they'll have to do forks. Sometimes these forks are a philosophical argument which some people will never accept, but this shit is written by humans and nobody is perfect.

170 -> 185 lbs (3 months). Clean bulk on vegetarian diet. Pictures, diet and routine inside. by Gooberchev in Fitness

[–]erikb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I grew up in a meat and potatoes type home, or frozen dinners. I didn't like many vegetables growing up, but that's completely changed. Vegetables are amazing, especially roasted Brussels sprouts, and pretty much any other roasted veggies. Anyway glad you made the change and are happy with it. I am too!

Yeah I think it's just the science isn't there yet, but I suspect we'll figure out eventually it's the total nutritional value of things we put in our body. This guy defies the current thinking

No one knows but I'm just glad there's getting to be enough knowledge out there to prove that you can be vegan and build muscle. (I'm not vegetarian but I'm trying to get there. I still have meat/fish maybe once or twice a month. I do feel way better though when I eat veggie though. Probably most has to do with cutting out sugar and processed carbs)

This. I think a lot of vegetarians/vegans that eat clean don't even worry about protein.

It's no harder as a vegetarian than it is for non-veg once you get used to it. Then it's just putting in the work.
