@agoradefense @clovis @alex @graf The terms "money" and "currency" have been conflated over the years. "Currency" refers to any medium of exchange that can be artificially manipulated (e.g dollars, euros, pounds, yen, etc). Money by definition cannot be artificially manipulated. This would include things like precious metals and decentralized crypt-currencies. I think this video sums it up best.

I would that you're arguing that it's not "stable money" not that it's not "money", stable being a subjective measure of the individual.
1. Nothing is "recognized by all", I can't purchase goods at most conventional stores, I'd have to exchange it for fiat or gift card, just like you'd have to for bitcoin.
2. Even precious metals fluctuate in price/worth, granted, not widely as btc, but they've stores of value for millennia.
3. People buy goods and services all the time with bitcoin, granted in more tech savvy markets, any threshold of "a lot" or "widely used" is arbitrary.
All that being said, technically money is what ever people think is money, so what might be money to one is not money to an other, and honestly everything about it is subjective and arbitrary.

"The Waco massacre is proof that, as the late libertarian Karl Hess put it, 'whenever you put your faith in big government for any reason, sooner or later you end up an apologist for mass murder.' Those of us who understand this must continue to spread the truth... Key to regaining our liberty is making government officials abide by the same rules against the initiation of violence that apply to private citizens."

@ChristiJunior @genetic_failure @Publius Celeste is the only puzzle platformer I've ever finished (I prefer strategy and builder games, but I had a few Nintendo bucks left, and it was on sale). As someone who *does* have depression, the story felt so false that it almost made me ragequit in a few places. And that was before I heard anything about a retcon.

The Conspiracy Theory Cycle:
1) “That’s insanity! You’re crazy!” 2) “Well your story is wrong, here’s the Official Story” 3) “Well your facts are debunked, here’s the Official Facts” 4) “Well your facts may be true but it’s bad because it’s racist and Not Okay” 5) “Well your theory is dangerous, think of the implications” 6) “Well you just need to shut the fuck up” 7) “POLICE, HE’S OVER HERE, GET HIM!”

One day, as he was in the toilet, he founds himself sucked into the toilet seat and he is given the important task to save the planet."
This is the kind of garbage my distant cousins are making?

@ChristiJunior @genetic_failure @Publius Leftists love circlejerking over mental illness and wallowing in misery. On the other hand, the chad Japanese know that you can overcome your depression and anything else with The Power Of Friendship.
@ChristiJunior @Publius @genetic_failure Tranny dev cares more about his mental health message than actually learning how to program.

re: Hubzilla
@okabe_rintarou Yeah, it seems to be an all-in-one type thing: blogs, forums, videos, file sharing, etc. As a result, it's probably even more bloated than Mastodon which can probably explain why it hasn't seen widespread adoption.

You can say what you want about the picks for Smash DLC, but at least all of the characters chosen are more relevant and noteworthy than Geno.
@snow I've never even heard of infant ear piercings before, but from my experience, I notice a correlation with piercings and drug use.
Hubzilla
@okabe_rintarou I heard it's more akin to Facebook and more used for discussions rather than microblogging (think Facebook groups). I guess it hasn't caught on because people use Facebook-like networks for communicating with IRL friends and that's not common on decentralized networks.
@underwater@neckbeard.xyz @rasterman Thanks to them. I can't help but think of the trans flag every time I see those 3 colors, regardless of what context.
