8·1 month agoLove the second example of immigration because not only does it completely miss the crux of the issue (free movement is a human right and must not be conditional) but also boils down to “actually this IS measurable and provable but Charlie doesn’t like the outcome so lalala whatabout Germany”

13·2 months agowhich in polymarket apparently amounts to token holders in an external DAO called UMA voting in proportion to their holdings to resolve disputes,
Wait that’s even fucking dumber than I thought it was, good grief
Everything I’ve learnt about prediction casinos is against my will and all of it is somehow the dumbest shit imaginable. I went through crypto, NFTs, the metaverse, and 3 years of AI bullshit, and nothing reached this level of psychic damage before.

9·2 months agoHuh, interesting, when the price was close to 100K I saw roughly eighty-six hundred headlines about it everywhere. But it lost almost half of that and it didn’t make the news? Huh. I wonder how that works.

11·2 months agoSo, do you consider active destructive actions to be a proper resistance strategy, @jlink?
Very last comment in this issue - because I’m too stupid to resist the urge.
It’s as much “active destruction” as telling someone to eff themselves.
I can’t actually believe someone would be so cool and put this into their repo, kudos
