The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

Man what the fuck am I doing on hexbear. Even the most inconsequential disagreements turn into this sort of bullshit, without fail

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The sort of bullshit like pointing out that blockchain technology has a massive carbon footprint and drastically increases the electricity costs of whatever it ostensibly replaced?

No that's pretty much on the money, but it's also a problem with proof-of-work consensus algorithms specifically

I don't know I guess it's just exhausting how everybody has to have a crazy out-there opinion about every fucking thing in or outside their spheres of competence and just loads up that shit with twitter irony like it's free salad at a salad bar

bullshit

crazy out-there opinion

loads up that shit with twitter irony

That isn't a generous reading of easily found and irrefutable information about the consequences of blockchain technology.

Sure let me meaningfully engage with "dae le drugs amirite stop-posting-amogus"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, you can. Is there another use case outside of that? You may not like the way I phrased it, but it was a valid point, not "bullshit crazy out there opinion loaded with twitter irony" as you put it. If you can say your opinion that way I can certainly say mine my way.

You are posting cringe. It's annoying

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think so. Not this time, anyway. If you really want to go to bat for blockchain bullshit, that might be cringe though.

I think you're right, you just need to chill

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Telling people "you need to chill" works like 5% of the time or less even when people need to chill. It's just hostile and obnoxious in context most of the time. It may feel good for you to say that, but that's all it is to me.

At least there was some flavor to your version. All right, sure, as soon as the crypto peddler in this thread fucks off I'll take a little walk.

There is no crypto peddler in this thread

Get off the trampoline you are not landing those dunks

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There is no crypto peddler anymore because that person's comments were removed by moderators.

Get off the trampoline because stanning for the crypto peddler makes your personal petty dunks at me kind of lonely and sad here.
