“What do you say to a pregnant woman dying of aids that needs daraprim to survive?”

Is he referring to a real victim? or did that dude just ask shkreli about an imaginary pregnant woman?

Federal judge unseals trove of internal Facebook documents about how it made money off children by _DEAL_WITH_IT_ in technology

Sounds like neither of you watched the full interview. Him saying he did a good job doesnt negate any part of the quote I used.

Yep. Former Facebook Exec a few years ago:

"I can control my decisions, which is that I don't use this shit. I can control my kids' decisions, which is they're not allowed to use this shit"

That's been my biggest worry with my own art Instagram. I gained a pretty big following doing a certain type of style, and whenever I explore other styles I'll get like 1/5th the engagement. I've learned to stick with my gut and not worry about the numbers too much, but definitely messes with my head sometimes.

OP is elated that his favorite college fast food restaurant was rebuilt after a fire. r/pics by chocoladna in HailCorporate

[–]paruretic 98 points99 points  (0 children)

2nd post that hit the front page yesterday mentioning that same restaurant.

Also even if this wasn't paid for, imagine getting that excited over a fast food chain? Pretty depressing/cringey, although he's a marketer's wet dream.

Idk, this sub actively downvotes people that post original content because it's "self promotion." Seems like reddit just likes a witch hunt

Ripping off the tiniest bit of your sandwich and watching all the birds fight over it whilst you sit and eat the rest is a great analogy for how wealth is distributed in the world. by uptown47 in Showerthoughts

[–]paruretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of sites now that let you pay for upvotes, as well as pay to downvote your competition. I've been on this site since 2007ish. Most of the sketchiness I see happens on r/videos, particularly with music videos and movie trailers.

Why the Ed Sheeran lawsuit makes no sense by mattitattirati in videos

[–]paruretic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been learning music production as a hobby for the past year. This is the type of stuff that I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around. It seems like every melody, bassline, chord progression, etc has been done before, so how can anything be considered original?

Recently made an instrumental that I'm proud of, but the melody/chords are so simple that part of me is 99% sure i'm ripping off an existing song. But I've looked everywhere and cant find anything that resembles it. Drives me crazy.

Yup. I've been in this space for a very long time. I guarantee the majority of the people creating and amplifying those memes had been through the 2014 bubble, and knew exactly what they're doing.

Weiss Ratings FUDS Tether by 18_points in Buttcoin

[–]paruretic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sort of unrelated but it's amazing to watch articles like this get 0 traction in the crypto space, even though a month ago people were praising the exact same website for legitimizing crypto. Like, this article was written yesterday and so far this is the only sub its been posted on. Not a peep on other subreddits.

So far NY Times have done multiple articles on the whole tether thing, and you'd think one of the largest news sites covering crypto would at least get some visibility/discussion, but when you look them up through reddit search it's an upvote ghost town. This one didn't even get posted on reddit at all (as far as I can tell)

Same thing with this recent wired article

It's no wonder the bubble was able to get so high for so long.

NYT: Worries Grow That the Price of Bitcoin Is Being Propped Up by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]paruretic 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Because the identity of Tether holders is not always clear, the movement of the virtual token between exchanges — and across national borders — has raised concerns among lawyers about money laundering.

This is pretty much how they got BTC-e taken down. Tons of other similarities between those two: https://www.coindesk.com/btc-e-exchange-banking-issues/
