That’s like saying I don’t see why anyone would spend cash when they could buy index funds instead (if you believe index funds will only go up).

Wasting years of your life locked up is already disincentive enough. Exploitive forced/hard/hazardous labor isn’t necessary. Same with being unable to afford common necessities, or…

So if you eat less, your body eventually adjusts so that you're satiated earlier. People say that your "stomach shrinks" when you eat less, but it's really just your appetite that …

Getting to level 99 or playing hardcore mode isn’t the objective for 99+% of players. Diablo 2 is a fairly forgiving and moderately casual game imo. Most builds require only one sk…

Which is why I mentioned those three in particular, pretty easy to get everyone to use one.

WhatsApp, Messenger, or even Instagram are all potential alternatives. All from the Facebook family.

The recently popular Lost Ark is another video game by Korea. I'm surprised you've never heard of the kpop groups BTS or Blackpink in Germany.

Nope, don't think any commercial version has that rule. Seems like a house rule or a misunderstanding of the official ruleset.

Yes. Bitcoin can be validated with with regular hardware, thus full nodes are cheap and ubiquitous and results in a system that's highly decentralized. Even if a 51% were to hypoth…

If every country refused to trade with Russia, would it become one of the poorest countries in the world?

If the lightning network isn’t possible, why is it up and running with thousands of people using it?

>“if someone offer/ you a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask which seat” That analogy only makes sense if he offered you equity, haha.

It's not like people don't know, it's more like there's not much we can do about it (other than voting). It's up to governments to come up with and enforce laws that prevent corpor…

Would it? We could have hundreds of runaway-meltdown proof nuclear fission reactors now if we wanted.

I'm surprised that message irked you that much, doesn't sound that bad to me. Almost sounds sincere, rather than sarcastic.

TikTok has plenty of misinformation, Twitter too.

I don't use the main Facebook app much, but I use Instagram and Messenger daily, Whatsapp sometimes as well. What do you use for your friend group chats?

That's why I said, unless you were already a senior engineer (L5), which isn't really a viable 3 year plan for most people. You can live cheaper than 3.5k, sure, but that's a fairl…

It depends what you mean by a lot. It's a lot, but is it rich (in the US)? No. According to several surveys held in the US, around $2.5M was what most considered enough to be consi…

I don't think it would be close at all, unless you were already a senior engineer (and even then would require amazing stock appreciation). Also, the jump between levels at top com…
