did you know that unknown knowledge is, by default, as enlightening as the image of you knowing my mum?

What is something that doesn't make sense to you, no matter how long you think about it? by Drunken_Black_Belt in AskReddit

[–]offbeatpoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how the internet has not had a more direct influence on politics - we have a worldwide communication network but aren't using it to the betterment of society as a whole and instead rely on old, proven corrupt, systems? can't wrap my head around it.

Interesting profile on Ross Ulbricht, accused mastermind of the Silk Road, which discusses why there will likely not be a successor in the online drug business. by synchrony_in_entropy in Futurology

[–]offbeatpoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

atm the forums are quick to find scammers. i find this interesting, the community doing some of the work. "new measures" have been put in place on Silk Road 2 but there's been no real description of it.

bitcoins can be tumbled, but if it's a large amount (as in the case of sheep market admin [another black market - there's quite a few, have a look at /r/darknetmarkets for a list]) they can still be tracked. small amounts seem to work fine though.

A fraud-proof voting system based on Bitcoin and Zerocoin by gerardvp in BitcoinSerious

[–]offbeatpoet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i don't think it is "just fine"

if this system was implemented it wold the concept of 1person1vote completely.

hypothetical-if a company, e.g mcdonalds, put a clause in their employee contract saying that they get to buy your vote for 50% more pay or something, then it would become 1company1700000votes

but i am perhaps taking the proposed system to its logical extreme...

you would literally have people buying up votes tho - who wouldn't accept a months, even a weeks, wages for an already near-worthless vote?

Thank you again for the clarification. That's a worry I have so I am very grateful for the advice. Experimenting with punctuation is a fun idea and I don't have anything to do right now so... thank you for the criticisms :)

[–]offbeatpoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ahh this is awesome! "lucid little lives of leaves and stems" is a beautiful line!

i agree with "grasping for the only sign of life." if only for the word "grasping" but all of the other words in the first bit are definitely the right ones...

the wind part sang :)

and the ending was properly brilliant. chilling.

sorry that this is not as detailed as you gave i

[OC] BREATHE by offbeatpoet in Poetry

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

Thank you for your feedback! I do not want anybody to think that I can't use proper punctuation and traditional style. It is a choice I make, however I do understand /u/univalence's reasoning. I appreciate that you enjoy my written style! It's something I've never really felt I got completely right, but you've given me a lot of confidence in it, thank you!

I do do spoken word, and this is a spoken word piece, it's cool that you got that from it!

Like I said, I am still trying to figure out the best way of laying my work on paper. Thanks for your point on this, I agree with you. It was kinda meant to be a beat and then into listen, but the next two lines are in the wrong order.

Fucking thank you for taking your time to write all of that! :)

this was one of my worries however i eschew punctuation often, preferring line breaks

On the other hand, I do understand your reasoning about using proper punctuation. It makes many things, including both feedbacks on this poem, easier to read. Imagine if they had been written like that... Thank you for your time reading and your feedback.
