Is this not a relatively mainstream belief?

NO TRESPASSING

Why do marginalized users keep using that website at all?

“If only we could have prevented all these hereditary diseases somehow!”

Are you saying that if Stein dropped out, her supporters would have voted for De la Cruz?

RemindMe! 4 days “Has Lemmy stopped talking about the genocide?”

If you’re an internet rando, and don’t understand the broken game theory behind FPTP, then you’re an idiot. It’s obvious!

If you’re a candidate, and don’t understand the broken game theory behind FPTP, then that’s fine, you’re not playing dumb or anything. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and go kick that football.

It blows my mind how easy it is for drunk drivers to get back behind the wheel. Once someone has proven how overwhelmingly selfish and foolish they are, it’s unfair to everyone else to put us in that danger.

So our solution is simply to weaken civil liberties for everyone with unreasonable searches.

I did this and they stole the bowl too.

Not every transaction, just the ones that open and close payment channels. This deletes data that would be needed to reconstruct an overwhelming majority of transactions.

(This is how Bitcoin’s lightning network works.)

If he doesn’t like hoarding, why doesn’t it just inflate?

Couldn’t they run a Chaumian digital cash server? It’s got top notch privacy, with the only downside of being a trusted central authority… which fiat currencies need anyways.

It’s because you’re taking a stance against cashless, which sounds paranoid and weird to most people.

Take a stand against VISA and PayPal. Then the bad guy isn’t “our” government, it’s corporations everyone already hates. And it references problems people already experience.

It’s much easier to explain how the situation is already bad than it is to argue how it “could become” bad.

What if it bounced through multiple peers between sender and recipient, encrypted on each hop like Tor? Then they’d need to actually break the encryption, or compromise every hop.

Sometimes I’ll ask a sincere question worded in a way that I didn’t realize implied anything, and get downvoted to hell. If anybody answers I’ll upvote, but I rarely want to stick around to explain why I don’t kick puppies or whatever.

Why don’t you use websites without using apps?

No that’s not fair, they do not. Don’t be creepy in the elevator, or alone in the woods, or anywhere else where you guys are gonna say “because of the implication”.

I’ve got bad news for you about magic.

Way back when I was single, I could pick up a woman without even having to corner her.

I wouldn’t say anything because some women find elevator pickup attempts intimidating.
