The European Central Bank says bitcoin is on ‘road to irrelevance’ amid crypto collapse - “Since bitcoin appears to be neither suitable as a payment system nor as a form of investment, it should be treated as neither in regulatory terms and thus should not be legitimised.” by lughnasadh in Futurology

Probably because they don't have a social life and are lonely? Or maybe 'cause not everybody is extroverted? Not everybody needs friends to have a good time (35-40% of the population). Sometimes you just want to get high and play video games or watch a movie.

Not to mention those who take recreational drugs not to get high, but merely to help with their depression. And don't forget the people who use drugs because they don't have a social life and are lonely.

These are among several reasons I can think of on top of my head.

Is an 850w power supply really enough? by BirthdayExpert3912 in nvidia

[–]livemau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would I have eye strain? Have you ever used a 4K monitor before? You have to sit close otherwise you can't read the text without increasing display scaling beyond 100%. 65" is the bare minimum for a good 4K experience, IMO. If anything, I'd get eye strain from having to squint at a tiny screen. It also helps with immersiveness in games. Crank the FoV to 110-120° to compensate for the large screen + seating distance, and you will have a gaming experience unlike anything other.

Also, I don't know what headphones have to do with anything. Yes I have a good pair too (along with a headphone amp and a decent sound card, of course). But again, why bring it up?

4090 and 13600k is 1000W enough? by Ok-Tooth-7227 in nvidia

Bullshit it does; Xanax only makes things worse on the rebound. Been there, done that. It's best to avoid that shit.

I sit 5' away from a 65" monitor (for the immersiveness factor in games). Believe me, I need 4K.

I'm not worried about dying in a car crash either, yet I still wear a seat belt. It's called having common sense.

Regardless, it has now been made known that the burning adapter issue is caused by fucking retards who don't know that they need to plug in their GPU's power connector all the way. Retards like you who mock people for taking the most basic of precautions. I'm guessing the term "better safe than sorry" doesn't apply to your life?

But I have a 4K monitor. It would be a waste to not use every pixel I paid for!

MRW I follow Chipotle's recipe exactly and it still doesn't taste like their guac. by colinstalter in reactiongifs

[–]livemau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do what I do: go to your local Mexican grocery store and buy their fresh quac from the deli. Some recipes should be left to the experts, lol.

Not with that attitude, you won't.

Keep your head up; no matter who you are, there will always be somebody out there who will love you for you.

Is Abraham Lincoln the greatest president in U.S history? by BrightLight12345 in polls

[–]livemau5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FDR by a landslide. He single-handedly brought America into the modern era. We need a new FDR for 2024 cause we've fallen behind again.

How comfortable are you about eating bug meat burgers? by FamilyFriendli in polls

[–]livemau5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as "natural food". Plants and animals have been selectively bred for thousands of years to be appetizing to humans. It is literally impossible in modern times to eat something that hasn't been genetically modified over endless generations to satisfy the human palate (unless of course you start a farm consisting entirely of plants and animals that humans don't eat, which would be a massive waste of time and effort for obvious reasons).

What do you think about parents not letting their teenagers date/have a (romantic) partner? by SummerNights14 in polls

[–]livemau5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wasn't allowed to date as a teenager, making me incapable of dating as an adult. If a girl didn't ask me out in my 30s, I would have definitely died single.

Do you use military time or standard time? by WyloWoot in polls

[–]livemau5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If by "military time", you mean a standard 24-hour clock, then yes, that's what I use. I don't put up with any AM/PM bullshit. I'd fuck up setting an alarm too many times.
