Love to be out here leveling buildings in order to destroy... *checks notes ...some fucking computers. Anytime someone wants to talk about the strength of IDF intelligence, I want them to reconcile that with the decision to level a building being used by the international media in order to destroy, at best, some computers. Does Hamas not have iCloud or something? Were they loaded with dank RTX cards that they'll need to get in a lottery for now? I've made better tactical decisions in Starcraft and my entire strategy in that game is just to hear the words "nuclear launch detected."

He’s playing Idol Master in the sky now.

Because Saints Row the Third is one of the top five games of the generation.

It’s a shame Woody Harrelson’s dad died in prison, McConaughey would have been the best shot of I’m actually getting that pardon.

They should call it “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.” Lord knows I’d enroll.

Yeah, absolutely. You can jam a million people into a city and have them never get together, so a virus won’t have a chance to spread. You can have 100 people in a city and if different groups of five or more gather close together frequently, then it’s going to get most of them. Density isn’t necessarily going to mean they all commingle all the time.

Since when is fratricide cheating?

For $500 million that boat is as ugly as shit. I bet his wife divorced him the first time she saw it and realized he spent half a billion dollars on something Micro Machines would pass on for being too lame.

Nice! Now back to waiting for RTX cards to be affordable to someone that isn’t lesser nobility.

Besides even if we get unbelievably lucky and they indict the fucker and even if DeSantis goes full chud, it just means he can never realistically leave the state. Good luck running for president then, no rallies, no events, no nothing. The moment he steps on a plane the flight can be grounded and he can’t thread the needle and drive only through friendly states.

I haven’t had an ICB in many a year, enjoy another on my behalf.

Do they still sell ICB in aluminum bottles or has that gone the way of the dodo?

Confirmed D1P is better than baseball.

Are you going to buy me some Eat n Park or do I have to put out for that?

Is he talking about less than 1% per transaction or less than 1% in total? If it’s the latter he’s basically saying that he’s only going to move in crypto that’s smaller and less known then immediately ditch all of it when it takes a foothold and establishes a value. Captain motherfuckin planet over here.

I hope it's true, because you know that idiot terf can't keep her foot in her mouth long enough for it to matter and then we'll get to enjoy the process of watching her get shitcanned again.

While we're on the topic of horse racing and ignoring the anime lady part, Pocket Card Jockey for the 3DS was awesome and they should make another.

Yes, we flew and sailed blindly because we didn't know what the hell was there. We didn't have satellite imagery to see what there was, outside of hot air balloons we didn't have good aerial views of things. No one blindly flies a plane in a random direction to discover some unknown land anymore because there are far better ways of getting that information. If there were intelligent alien life buzzing around in our lower atmosphere, they would have access to technology we can't possibly imagine and there's basically nothing that they could learn from that they couldn't learn other ways. If they're capable of getting here and flying in our atmosphere, they're certainly not stupid enough to think they wouldn't be noticed, so what do they possibly have to gain? Besides, even if we ignore the part of interstellar travel that gets you to FTL, it doesn't change the fact that the speed and movement of these objects often defies material physics, so they would also somehow have to figure out how to not interfere with pesky things like friction.

To be fair, they look that way most of the time because they have to put some poor bastard in a rubber suit.

I know I've said it before, but you're simply knocking one domino of dozens out of the line of progression. FTL travel doesn't account for the fact that space is unbelievably massive. It also doesn't account for why any intelligent species with FTL travel would just fart around in our lower atmosphere for a minute or two and then just leave. Any species with that kind of technology would have certainly invented the telescope and could just observe us from much further away.

Or just buy a completely shitty defunct theme park for pennies on the dollar and share ownership of it. Call it snowflake land, name a few rides after whiny conservatives, and call it a day.

Yes, everyone understands and agrees that the subjective value of owning an original over a duplicate is subjective. What I am saying is that the material difference between an original and a duplicate is NOT subjective, and whatever value people derive from that difference is entirely personal. I have seen “The Persistence of Memory” in person at the MOMA. Would I personally pay whatever millions it would be worth to own it? Fuck no. Would I have traveled to a museum to see a bunch of high quality image files of the same artwork? Also no. There is no material difference between the linked file NFT of a meme and a meme I copy and paste here for free. There is no material difference in the thing a person owns. The problem I have with NFT stuff aside from the obvious environmental issues is that a subjective value is being attached to a nonexistent material difference. The person who paid half a million dollars for a meme and I have the exact same rights to the image.

You keeping bringing value into this when I’m intentionally putting all value aside. Objectively, a painting is different than a jpeg. The objective act of seeing a painting and seeing a digital image of a painting are different. There is no denying that. What value you place on that difference is subjective, the fact that there is a difference is not. The objective act of viewing a jpeg and viewing a jpeg of an NFT you own is identical. You own theaters, there is an objectively different experience between watching a movie with an audience in a theater versus seeing it at a drive in versus watching it on my phone. My subjective enjoyment of each experience will differ, but you cannot deny that they are different things.

We’re discussing two different things now. I was discussing the functional difference between owning art and owning an NFT regardless of value. Now we’re discussing personal enjoyment. If you get some sort of joy out of owning an NFT then so be it, that has nothing to do with the functional difference between owning an NFT and having a link saved to your clipboard being nil. All value is relative. All enjoyment is subjective. A person who owns an NFT objectively can’t do anything a person who has the image saved on their hard drive can’t also do other than sell the NFT to someone else. The same is not true of an original piece of art.
