  • Lots to unpack here and I'm not looking to tackle all of it, but going back to any metal standard is a terrible idea. The value of a Fiat currency is based on the shared belief in it's value, whereas a metal standard currency has its value in the shared belief in the value of the metal. No gain, but pushing the problem one step down the chain.

    The substantial downside of metal standard currency is that it causes a scarcity in the metal compared to the amount needed for currency, leading to deflation. Suddenly you have a currency which encourages people not to spend as the currency is expected to be worth more in the future; the currency fails at it's only job: facilitating trade.

  • What is your favourite metal song?

    Jump

  • I'd argue this is a precursor to metal rather than metal itself. Still a great song that everyone should listen to.

  • Boy, 11, shot dead after playing doorbell-ringing prank in Houston, police say

    Jump

  • Yeah, that 11 year old totally deserved to die for ringing someone's doorbell and running away. You're right that the only thing wrong with the story is that the grieving parents know what happened to their child.

    I'm glad that the community that's mourning a child is now going to have fewer kids playing mostly harmless pranks.

    I can't tell if you're genuinely that awful a human being or if I've just taken the bait.

  • Convincing people that punching Nazis gets them into heaven helps deal with a problem in our lifetime though

  • The Netherlands to impose travel ban on Israeli ministers over Gaza

  • Be careful, sister. While Smotrich and Ben-Gvir are certainly genocidal and guilty of war crimes, let's not resort to antisemitic attacks. Don't forget, the Israeli government doesn't represent all jews and there are Israeli human rights organisations, newspapers, and genocide scholars calling it out for what it is.

  • Xbox Reportedly Working to Release Next Fallout Game "Sooner Rather Than Later"

    Jump

  • I think that was recently proven false. Still, the guys at Obsidian did an amazing job pumping out one of the best games of all time in a year and a half.

  • UK passes bill to send asylum seekers to Rwanda

  • 14 years of Conservative rule will do that to a country 🤷‍♂️
