Yup. I try to keep my money in cash or in the bank. Crypto is alright but it’s become a huge issue when guys who have no life skills outside hacking feel the need to assert power over others lives

Meh. Not all Indians lol

These software guys literally get paid on salary and even get time to spare, the need to fear monger and threaten to destroy people’s livelihoods when you run a huge portion of internet services just shows that they’re not exactly the type to “do no evil”

So you’re a Bernie Sanders supporter huh? Hmmm… Tell you what, let’s see Bernie and Biden have a meet up and discuss a roadmap for if either candidate wins so neither gets thrown into the flaming pits of hell and we might see the common folk progress reports hahaha

Old america vs Israeli desert trooper guy? That’s going to be an interesting one

Certain important people need to keep selling spyware, drugs, guns and war to keep themselves and their associates employed. As for whether the funds or the actual work (conflict) available is sustainable is for everyone including the accountants to consider.

The other problem is that war doesn’t really die, we just displace where we choose to fight, and how, if we imagine physical and cyber world peace for a moment, for the USA or China to reduce its military capacity by one third, or one tenth, we would see absolute chaos, thousands unemployed, the losses in maintenance and equipment, military supplies, medical, etc, nobody would win.

Any complex society where financial and other systems operate needs a minimum degree of social enforcement to maintain. Whether that can change like a function or is something that depends on a country’s GDP is another issue.

Just consider that humanity would either need lots of free time, energy and money or it would literally need to feel incredibly threatened by something on earth, which we all could not fight to control in order to actually fund going to space or even the moon, and I doubt a triple whammy of pandemic, food shortage or severe draught and floods could do it, it happened in the Bible and people literally just found more dumb reasons to do more dumb things, and no lowering mens testosterone or telling guys to shave more often wouldn’t do shit either. If people don’t find reasons to explore or learn, they find reasons to fight/play fight, it’s pretty normal, and if anyone remembers their childhood, usually it’s pretty much the same across generations.

Could you provide sources? I’m just curious to keep a log

Torture, how to keep sadistic people employed, and feel productive about extracting “truth”

You’re right that a state can commit terrorism just like a group can, but the key issue here is whether the state works towards being held accountable and towards achieving a long term benefit for all its benefactors, investors, assets and the society it’s providing for

Agreed

Someone ask the old fella to do a press release or a road map presentation to convince us all

Those are some big hamsters

I got three of the four, just one more power tool set and I’ll be sweet lol

I had something similar to this after a good trip, but the dark version where nothing matters until it hits you, then spent next few years where my déjà vu and empathy kept breaking through ceilings in its way going up

Very sad hopefully they will rebuild.

Nah I don’t suggest anyone ever invest in crypto but simply to observe in the apps and be open minded, e.g. if you invest 10 dollars and watch the scene for some time you can see where things are going and have a long view rather than their 1000s in a big gamble. I doubt anyone I know is that dumb anyway

Lol wut. Honestly some societies are worse than others, but me, I don’t imagine anyone would seriously punish someone simply for wanting to do their own thing

I dunno man. I’m not in tech though I wouldn’t mind getting into C programming and low end stuff, most front end stuff feels fluffy and I’m not sure what I’m supposed to feel or see besides some funny PowerPoint animation on my browser or app. All I know is when it’s fucked.

Hmmm… I guess it’ll be a new thing, you know, new problems for old tech… Maybe some of the guys from ReactOS will find some old canonical guys to work with and build a new alternative to windows 7 for all the old computers out there. As for how they’ll make money it’ll probably be great for keeping all the old OEM’s and engineering software companies by keeping their old product lines somewhat relevant

Hahaha
