Wow, Male AND Female burritos. We are spoiled for choice.

It’s Avon for Cis Dudes that make fun of Avon ladies

It’s the Lottery for STEM Majors that make fun of grandpas that play the lottery.

I’d say ‘it’s religion for reddit atheists’, but it’s not. AI is religion for reddit atheists. “The rapture AGI is right around the corner and when it comes around God will save the righteous and punish the sinners we will live in post-scarcity utopia. Just please ignore all the priests committing horrid crimes on children actual AI copmanies being owned by technocrats with fascist leanings who seem very horny for the idea of never having to pay a worker again. Until then we just need to pray and proselytize very hard keep investing on DA FUTER”

Sorry, the only illegal shit I do is free illegal shit (piracy)

WELL actually, it’s not illegal here in Brazil. It’s only a crime if you can be proven to be making money off of it. Downloading/copying is free game. :^)

You’re not wrong

But keeping a government democratic and under check is a lot easier than trying to do the same to a series of corporations with anonymous investors calling the shots. Every corporation is in and of itself a dictatorship, dangerously close to an old noble clan, and we pretend we don’t see it because it’s been hypernormalised.

I’d much rather take my chances with a government, that can in fact respond to the will of the people from time to time, than with a corporation that only ever responds to money with exactly no exceptions ever.

Also because the entire thing is backed financially by energy wasted, crypto has actually been slowing down the adoption of cheaper, safer renewable energy.

People spend x dollars on generating crypto, they expect to sell it for x+profit

Ergo if energy became cheaper, crypto would devalue and we can’t have that.

Crypto remains a pyramid scheme masquerading as a resistance against tyranny

Ironically you know what ACTUALLY protects from powergrabs by payment processors? A fully centralised, government backed form of digital cash that is fully equivalent to paper money.

Ask a Brazilian about pix. Super low fees (often feeling non existant). And transactions can’t be invalidated on the whims of a corporate board. For something to not be buyable by pix it has to be illegal, thus having to go through every layer of checks and balances a democracy has.

The problem with visa and their ilk is that finance has been privatised. Too much power in the hands of corporations that have deftly dodged regulation that would keep them neutral and honest. Thinking privatising things further and turning everyone into a fully unregulated petty digital landlord is gonna solve anything rather than make it worse is foolhardy.

You cryptobitches have been saying it’s “early days” since 2009

It’s been 16 years. That bullshit don’t fly anymore.

Fluttershy.

Tupã bless Brazil’s pix.

At least I can still buy porn from local furry artists.

The gud fedposting.

The ROI was eternal life

Do people just forget religion exists and believers take it fully seriously?

TFW no filthy rich furry bf

An explained joke might lose its funny in the moment

But you also ensure future jokes riffing on similar ideas will land better. ;)

I don’t get it

Column A, Column B

The trick is to introduce your kid to your taste in gaming while they’re young

And then when they are in their tweens and want to game online with their mates, you set them up for it (with proper supervision and such, of course)

And they WILL develop their own taste in gaming – But they will have some common ground with you still.

… It worked for me and my dad (avid PC gamer, mostly plays strategy games and management sims though) anyway. Years later I convinced him to get Civ V and he completely destroyed me in it.

I always wonder where are the mothers of these shitty young men?

Like.

If I even thought of going into a misogynistic phase during my younger years, my mother would have put me in my place, yanno?

Are anglo mothers less sprited than latin american mothers?

What is it with Lemmy and terrible-quality ragebait today?

First the guy on nostupidquestions trying to say arguing in bad faith was based actually

Now you

Did the threadiverse afoul of some discord server where awful teens hang out?
