I’m sorry the world is so scary you have to segment parts of it away from your daily life, I don’t have that weakness

Yeah some parts of the world are scary and segmenting parts of it away isn’t a weakness. It’s just common sense. (edited to change whats quoted)

well yeah but I meant that Truth socials source code is actually a fork of Mastodon. I think they’ve even published the source code somewhere for legal reasons, which is so wired to think about trump doing.

yeah I don’t wanna watch WikiLeaks footage of civilians being shot and you cant convince me to

I’ve seen people here call ai and crypto fascist technologies. There is an element of truth to what cyberblob saying, some people are labeling things as Nazi simply because they don’t like them.

At least we don’t have karma here, that would make it so much worse

this

The amount of times I’ve been blocked on the fediverse because I’ve mentioned that I find the mechanics behind AI interesting, or the math behind crypto, its actually insane. Or anything positive about spacex or the benefits of a free market.

What do you mean? To me the two are synonymous

like Truth social

I’m not saying their policies are any good, but the golden rule still stands, if a Republican who isn’t evil is nice to you, it only makes sense to reciprocate that.

that’s wonderful /s

I’m not resorting to that. I’m not saying that. I’m saying that the idea that voting Republican is inherently racist, is wrong. This really isn’t that complicated.

You do realize that there are members of marginalized groups who have been elected as republicans. Like there’s black republicans. Is voting for them ‘blatantly racist’? If you overuse language it loses some of its meaning

Depends on what kinda right wingers your talking about Ik a few people who believe in more laissez-faire free market economic policies, and they’re pretty chill

no one can prove if their sentient you know

To be fair, that was at the end of his term

Ik a few people who lean to the right economically but aren’t in favor of all this authoritarian stuff And they’re not Nazis, you cant just generalize so broadly about what should or shouldn’t be tolerated. Ofc if someone is being blatantly racist that shouldnt be tolerated, but economic discussion is totally fine

If your concerned about the storage device ‘holding’ the crypto being lost or destroyed, you could simply memorize that 25-word code that most wallets have for signing back into the account. Your address and a passcode is all you need to send money. In the case of Monero it doesn’t have much volatility (compared to other currencies) and actually when trump was tweeting about creating a national crypto reserve, while Bitcoin rapidly fluctuated from 80k to 100 and back to 80k within a few days, Monero didn’t change much. If volatility is a major concern for you, then you could always look into stable coins, like those that are set to the value of USD or gold. I don’t use them and they work in fairly complex ways but volatility is what they are designed to combat.

Also outlawing crypto is like outlawing piracy, they cant enforce it and often they don’t even know about it happening. In the case of Bybit, they had billions in crypto and NK hackers after them, so ultra high security was a much larger priority for them than it is for a casual user of it who might only have a few Monero in their account.

If you have money in the bank it can be frozen or seized by the government, whereas crypto or cash they cant take as easily. My thinking with this is that if you have $500 kept in a crypto wallet whose password is stored in your memory, and there is no physical hardware with that code, then your money cant be taken away from you by any means.

I think a major problem with the stock market is the lack of long term planing. And we see that clearly with what’s happened to Boeing with their planes falling apart

they didn’t have to nuke civilians but using nukes was a good idea overall

I think its like sugar, too much and it’s horrible but in moderation its fine
