Twitter threads are a confusing mess to look at and usually I can't figure out OP was trying to convey by posting a link to 30 tweets that probably should have been a text post somewhere.
So then you'd be in favor of Universal Healthcare, subsidies for gym memberships for low income individuals, stricter regulations against lying/misleading in fast food/junk food, and stricter regulations/penalties for pollution?
This is why it's basically illegal for businesses to ask someone to prove they need their service animal.
It's annoying as duck to 1.) have a disability in the first place and 2.) have every random person ever acuse you of lying about it for literally no reason.
> being able to skim off the top of second hand sales
Steam's current strategy of "no second hand sales" (but better sales and distribution instead) really beats anything NFT has to offer and doesn't require forcing a blockchain and mintinv fees into the scenario.
True, but if you invented writing today and decided to record a 500 year old story, in that scenario are you really likely to be able to discern what the term flood meant back then, or if the word flood was even in the original story? Hundreds of years later people who weren't there are going to get lazy with the details.
>but there is no public reaction about the soviet union
There's literally non-stop public reaction against the Soviet Union, a country that stopped existing 30 years ago, especially in threads like this that are completely non-political. Case in point, you, congrats on being the first person who thinks watch connoisseurs are committing wronkthink by talking about watches.
You need a chrome/FF extension that adds to every comment an extra sentence like:
- "I disagree with Stalinist grain policies"
- "The Soviet Union murdered millions"
- "I think the Ukrainians are right to complain about the USSR"
- "They were too many gulags if you think about it"
- "But of the course, the Soviet Union was bad"
- "Stalin? No, I disavow him"
Then you don't have to derail a thread about watches to defend the Nazis and United States from the ghost of Stalin.
That's incentive for someone living in silicon valley to not do it, but outside of the hubs most of the United States has miniscule demand for tech workers (using that term very loosely), and the majority of the world would average out to something like "30k, but the job only exists if you live in the capital".
The scene with the mountains and the cloud was really cool. After that, there was some build up but kind of just went nowhere. "Here's some circles, now you can hallucinate the future" was overall a pretty underwhelming drift into fantasy.
> It also somewhat bugs me that pretty invariably the folks that crap all over these movies are huge Trek or Babylon 5 fans, shows that have endless literal magic in them, and they're just fine with it.
Interstellar was heavily hyped as being "realistic".
Nobody is making them devine, they do it themselves and pat themselves on the back for reading that XY problem article and spamming XY "answers" everywhere.
I understand why somebody would buy a baseball card, even if I would never want to. I understand why someone would right-click and download a jpg of a baseball card, or screenshot one, even if I would never want to.
But when you add "pay $100 in etherium for a reference to a publically jpg hosted on some website" you completely lose me.
