  • That is not a source, so judging by your hearsay, it’s unfortunate, but even smart people can get swindled and duped.

    If Shaun fell for NFT stuff, that’s… embarrassing, but it happens I suppose.

    However, he’s clearly figured it out now, and can see they’re just scams.





  • This is likely the most asinine thing I hear on a regular basis. Speed limits exist for a reason. If driving the speed limit actually created a hazard, rather than simply creating an annoyance for someone who is willing to drive recklessly to shave a few seconds off their trip, you might have a point, but you don’t.

    The only circumstance where it creates a hazard is if everyone else around them is speeding, in which case, the people who are speeding are creating the hazard, not the person following the laws, you know, the ones that are there to enforce safety on the roads.

    Think the world might collapse? Maybe NOW you’ll consider buying into the crypto grift! I swear it’s definiely a good idea this time. I super-pinky swear it’s a good investment.

    Just ignore the countless times crypto has shown it’s really only useful for scams, and money laundering.

    I know this post “addressed” this point, but not to the extent that anyone with a partially functional ability to reason will be convinced. Here’s my problem… I find it excessively hard to believe that in a collapse scenario anyone would be interested in trading goods for crypto.


  • Cool! Are you talking about something like pi-hole or something else? In what way is it going to lead to better outcomes? I already have a pretty much flawless experience with my adblockers (especially when it comes to easily creating custom rules, using the element zapper, and testing new blocklists).

    I find that my suite of browser extensions serves me really well, and it keeps working even when I enable my VPN, but something like pi-hole stops working if you do that.

    How does the solution you’re talking about differ? How does it provide a better experience?
