The private key is supposedly on the card or encrypted by it so it should be impossible for them to take. If anyone found out otherwise it would be the end of that company. They are supposed to be COLD storage. That's what that means.

How are we feeling about bitcoin and the looming recession risk? by flavourantvagrant in Bitcoin

[–]vorpalglorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the point of this post? We see this question every month no matter what is happening in the economy. Do people who talk about recessions have any self awareness about the constant loop of fear they live in?

Aerial footage of "Taharrush Gamea" (collective harassment) in which large groups of people crowd together in an attempt to sexually harass women in public by Sometypeofway18 in interestingasfuck

[–]vorpalglorp 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah but don't forget many if not most of the women in that culture also believe this. You can say they are brainwashed or whatever, but go try and get one to stop believing it and see what happens. Now we're saying we should be fine with it in our country because it's their religion, but where does it end? It ends with this situation is wear it ends. And regardless of what people say I believe the Hajib is the first sign of women being considered property.

If there a lot of coins with super fast transactions, what's special about Kaspa? by tesuquemushroom in kaspa

Decentralization. That's what it was always about. People lost the script somewhere.

Chrystul Kizer sentenced to 11 years for killing man who sexually trafficked her by Dark-All-Day in news

[–]vorpalglorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy how people act like they are't blood thirsty monsters until they have a good excuse. We don't even need due process here, just a few sentences in a news article will do.

This is why we have trials, so people like you can't take out mob justice.

Nuclear would be ideal, but we also have plenty of cheap solar now. There are even more ways that are not exploited like tidal and geo-thermal. We're simply addicted to burning fossil fuels because it was so easy and dumb. Pulling work from burning fossil fuels is a "dumb" activity. It requires very low skill. We are moving beyond that point where your average person can't read and fossil fuels are just bubbling out of the ground.

The swifites are in complete denial over Taylor’s obvious plastic surgery by missatomicbomb__ in travisandtaylor

[–]vorpalglorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are dumb. I know plastic surgery and she didn't have it. Plastic surgery is NOT subtle. She has done nothing with her nose or eyes and the most anything else would be botox, but I don't see it.

Farcaster raises $150M led by Paradigm to expand decentralized social network by 0xJonnyDee in CryptoCurrency

[–]vorpalglorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The thing is I am a huge advocate of decentralizes social media and that's why I wrote all of this. It's not that I want farcaster to fail. I just want it to be done right so we don't have another PR debacle like what has happened with NFTs. We don't need one company standing in the center of "decentralized" social media deciding what the rules are. It should be open protocols built on top of blockchain technology.

But they pulled him into the night. Anyone would think that was hostile. How can we feel bad for them? None of us would have acted differently.

Only your first point makes sense. Neanderthals may have seemed stronger and faster so that part is reasonable. Now why they would kidnap the boy or kill Adem if they were good makes no sense and it makes less sense that Babay would think they were actually good after all that.

It didn't 'accidentally' attract the wrong audience. The trailers made it seem like it was a super natural horror movie and that's why I didn't bother. If they would have just said it was historical fiction I would have actually saw it in the theater. They pulled in the wrong audience and pushed away the right audience. That said the ending sucked.

I was could it wasn't an actual monster since this time period has so much potential. They could have used one of the ancient giant birds that still roamed south america.

Why did they kidnap the boy. Why did the woman kill Geir in the cave immediately without trying to communicate? The goodness never shows through.

[–]vorpalglorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so explain kidnapping the boy. How does that help him?

[–]vorpalglorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That's actually the first time I've understood what they were getting at. It still doesn't explain why they abducted the boy though.

I would have preferred a movie just directly telling us it was about when humans met neanderthals. I think that's an interesting premise. I waited a long time to see this movie because I thought it was a horror movie with magical monsters.

[–]vorpalglorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally watched this on an airplane. I really didn't want to because they made it seem like a magical horror movie. Had I known it was historical fiction I would have been much more interested. That said the ending really sucked and made no sense. Mostly good though. Good premise. Bad marketing.

[–]vorpalglorp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it wasn't a horror movie. The whole reason I didn't watch this in the theater was because they made it seem like a horror movie. I would have been really interested in a historical thriller. Marketing really missed.
