I mean, technically SSA data might be a legitimate use of the blockchain. I am one of the biggest opponents of the whole mess, but there are use cases for a persistent immutable data record, and social security numbers would be one of them.

Cool, though I would assume the supercritical point would be a lot higher for Pu-242. I can't imagine that anyone would have knowingly sold this kid a fissile isotope.

I really feel like you place a lot of faith in the competence and observational skills of the public at large.

I used Notepad++ for virtually all coding I did (Python, JS, various Markup Languages, Action Script back in the day, etc) for a couple decades. The only reason I use VSCode now is because I inherited a nightmare of a legacy spaghetti bowl and needed the function tracing to attempt to figure out anything. I still prefer N++ for most small projects.

The old guard (Sanders exempt) is fucking useless. The young members like AOC and Jasmine Crockett are fucking holding it down. If the octogenarian asshats would just back them up and support them properly shit might work.

Why? Because they feel the need to have local copies of sensitive financial information because... You know... They are computer security experts.

God damn those nips are made for nibbling. So hot. Thanks for sharing the goods. Bonus points for the airplane bathroom. I do love me an exhibitionist.

Wow. Simply... Wow.

You have one of the most divine figures I have seen in a while. Makes me miss my days of doing glamour photography. You would have been so much fun to do a shoot with.

I think it is more jaded than mad. We are come to these communities to hang out and spend time in a space with like minded individuals, and when OF girls spam post to sell stuff it cheapens the whole thing. We become a market instead of a place to show off and hang out. All of us are a market everywhere else in our lives, it would be nice to have a fun space full of hot women showing off that is absent that constant drive towards our wallets.

I have nothing against OF girls or any other sex worker, I just recognize that there are times and places for selling themselves.

A bunch of people seem to be against the whole attention whore thing. I, for one, am a massiv e voyeur. Attention whores are one of my favorite things on the planet.

As long as you don't tease just to try to get us to your OF or Fansley to extract money then it is all just some harmless horny fun.

I will enjoy the show and decry the haters. You go on being hot and seeking attention. 😘 🥵

Yeah, I hadn't gotten into the "how to fix" part. Estate taxes, VATs on intermediary products, and wealth taxes are all great ways of redistribution, which is required for a functioning economy that grows at all levels, not just one.

Not an economist, but I am a mathematician.

It is 100% BS. 99.999% of the rich don't get/stay rich by spending money. They buy a mega yacht and create a few hundered jobs for a couple months at best.

Economies grow when money moves. A billionaire spends 500M on a single yacht and that 500M moves to the yacht manufacturer and their suppliers. That same 500M spent $50 at a time by 10M people spreads that money across hundreds of thousands of businesses at minimum. That means it can be spent by more businesses on paying labor or expanding stock. That is more people getting money to spend money.

The concept of "trickle down" economics should function just as well as "trickle up" economics, but that requires that the wealthy spend as liberally and as widely as it being more spread out on the bottom. This the failure point. It will all end up at the top anyway, it will just make the world a better place getting there if it starts at the bottom.

 

So I am out with my family for Father's Day and we passed a church who had:

"What's your favorite Bible verse? Post it on our Facebook."

And it got me to wondering how they would react if someone started posting all of the verses from their storybook that specifically call out the behavior of modern Christians. All the ones about welcoming immigrants and providing shelter and care for the poor, or deriding capitalism. Wonder what would happen if people did that en masse? I almost want to write a bot to go through and do it.

 

My son was just born, and while a few photos will go on the likes of Facebook and Instagram, overall my partner and I are wanting to keep our shared photos private from the EULA abuses that we all know and hate.

Does anyone here have any good suggestions? I would create my own front end, but I can't swing hosting or a static IP to do it from my local box. Are there any companies out there who aren't total shit bags who claim immediate irrevocable license to all of my photos to do with whatever the fuck they please?
