I do t consider bonds or CDs as gambling. They are guaranteed unless the entire financial institution dies, in which case your investment in ammo matters more than money.

Property tax is alreadly locked in California.

Prop 13 is one of the main reasons i moved out of CA

Got my sim rig up and running, so assteo corsa and war thunder.

For the nukes dropped to explode? I dont think its a good idea… but the nukes dropped accidentally didnt explode, which greatly reduces the effect.

I dono what people expected. Discord costs money to develop and run. It was always just a matter of time before it cost money.

A rock through the window is more effective and faster than reading this wall of text.

I mean sure… but using a key to enter isnt really any safer? Like lock picks and jimmys and air bags have been defeating physical locks for even longer? Hell, a brick through a window gets you in faster than anything.

Love the star trek memes. And like all things linux, i understand like 20% and the rest goes over my head

Yep, it just was better regulated in the recent past. It wasnt always much better, the great depression era was arguably worse. It only took 20 years and a world war to pull us out.

The morality becomes less important the more your mortality is affected.

They are not stripped for punishment or fun, but because any of them could be a walking clamore mine.

I dont condone the actions of the IDF. I think their current strategy is ineffective and counterproductive in the long run. However, actions like this are easily understood if you put yourself in the shoes of a soldier forced to be in that situation under orders.

The problem IS the centralized authority. Can you forever trust a government to not artificially inflate or deflate the value of a currency? The whole point was to have a system with no single authority. No single point of failure.

It is, however, not perfect. The volatility, limited number of transacrions per second , and reliance on an incredible amount of energy expense were the largest of these when the original bitcoin concept was created. Some of these issues have solutions, but its still an evolving technology.

I viewed it as more of a donation to see the stupid meme on Nascar or other dumb sponsorships.

Sorry, i just assumed we were at a point where no one other than the 2 of us would be reading this deep.

Yes that is how generations work. But generations in general is a very loose term. If somone in my grandparents’ generation didnt have kids, they would still be the last generation.

But it really doesnt matter. The point is that humanity has only had this ability in the last 100 years or so

So… you dont like the service… just dont use it at all anymore. Then they cant track your data as well.

No one from the 30’s is still alive?? I better go check on my grandparents.

Also, why the downvote? I was just adding more explanation to a conversation about an idea.

Oh, ffs. You dont see that the reason you “need” sponsorblock is because we used adblock so much that the only way the creators could make a living was injecting their own adds into their own videos.

The money youtube makes from selling your data does not cover the cost of running the business.

What about all the creators of videos you watched that you dont support on patreon? They dont deserve anything for their work?

The fact the guy above you has been downvoted, and you are upvoted makes me think people dont see this comment is clearly sarcastic.

Im neither. Im a software developer for a small tech company.

My reasoning is 100% selfish. I dont want the content creators that i watch to stop creating things i find incredibly valuable. And i dont want google to cancel a service that i find incredibly valuable.

Dont think that they wont do it. It just has to become unprofitable.

They have already killed 14 services this year alone. https://killedbygoogle.com/

Not all creators have patreon. Also are you using patreon to pay google?

Seems like premium with extra steps?

Revanced pays the content creators and google for your usage?
