    Looks like a bit of a shell game to me. Make whatever elaborate, obtuse system you want, at the end of the day: 1. BC needs on and off ramps with fiat, or it's DOA for general use.…

    The rich truly live in a world of their own. Wired headphones never went away. Wireless earbuds were mostly airpods and clones, which were always a victory of style over practicali…

    Interestingly, "can you believe how terrible this fanfiction is?!" was kind of the per-cursor to "Can you believe how wacky this bot-written fiction is?!", and it shared the same f…

    Bingo. This is borderline clickbait. Just another instance of a giant corporation shitting on ordinary people. The real creators of DOOM are long gone, and wouldn't give a shit abo…

    Your side (and I know it's your side because "dog-whistle") started it. Don't be upset when when you kick someone and they fight back.

    "that usually it comes along with not being allowed to make extremely hateful or racist or sexist comments" Unless that hatred, racism and sexism is targeted at white males. Then i…

    I was hopeful for a bit, then I saw some stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JurplDfPi3U and realized nothing has changed. It's the same old shit: reporters being will…

    I'm all for decrying leftist propaganda, but if you think driving a massive vehicle while a bunch of screaming kids get up to god-knowns-what behind you is "fun and entertaining" y…

    I don't appreciate being forced to pay for a feature I don't need. The modern car is FULL of such features, and it's caused the price to skyrocket. The median price for a new car i…

    Being an inmate saves a lot of money too. 100% savings!

    "You will own nothing" etc etc. Welcome to dystopia. I'm so glad a bunch of brilliant minds spent a half century creating magical miracle technology so corporations and government …

    What on earth are you talking about? Seatbelts are FULLY OPTIONAL. Not LEGALLY, but functionally. If your seatbelt malfunctions somehow, you can still drive. If the "infrared camer…

    Goofy stuff. But then, so is the blind adoration and acceptance of everything the government says about the vaccine. We live in a time where 95% of the population is going to act b…

    "Do your own research" is disingenuous. If I do my own research (and I have) and it disagrees with your beliefs, you'll still tell me I'm wrong. Incidentally, people thinking for t…

    By the same measure, I don't want to spend much time around people who: 1. Blindly accept what the government, the media, and "experts" tell them, despite all three repeatedly demo…

    People who agree with the mainstream, official line, government etc. don't need anti-censorship platforms. Your response to opening such a platform and seeing positions you hate sh…

    Despite all the talk IPFS is just voluntary content mirroring. If people feel you're spamming, they'll stop mirroring your shit. Which of course illustrates the worthlessness of th…

    I stopped believing in "decentralized free speech" platforms the moment they all decided to censor and attack anyone they politically disagreed with (ie Gab's treatment at the hand…

    Your ideology is flawed. Human beings are not divided into two camps, "Good" and "Bad." You do not slice the pie in two and and discard everyone in the "Bad" camp. If you do, and d…

    Bingo. Fuck this gaslighting. The vast majority of pollution in general, and CO2 in particular, comes from industry, not individuals. Tossing trash everywhere and running gas throu…

    They ARE anti-white propaganda. This isn't hyperbole, it's simply descriptive of the facts. Maybe they weren't at some point, but a new crop has taken over the reigns, and pretty m…
