  • You did the right thing. The only way in hell I would even consider having sex with a drunk/passed out person is if I had their full and enthusiastic consent received while stone cold sober. Intoxicated consent is not consent, and its a shame how our culture normalizes that shit or shames people into thinking that the only way they can do something with a ‘good conscience’. Which is funny, considering they’re intentionally putting themselves in a situation where they would then be taken advantage of instead of just talking about it like adults.




  • It is a bearer asset

    Meaning your money can be stolen and it’s gone forever unless you convince them to return it

    that nobody can take away from you without force

    Unless your wallet’s password is cracked, then you’re fucked and have no recourse. There have been so many issues with wallets generated with a bad algorithm that allows people to break your phrase easily and leave you without anything. And that’s not even getting into hot wallet issues where you get rug pulled and they steal all your money or you decide to give your money to someone like SBF and the whole exchange does down.

    There are so many examples that disprove this statement that it’s honestly hilarious.

    and no government can inflate away and leave you poor.

    No, instead you can get left poor by some scam you fell for and have even less recourse to get your money back than if it was the government.


  • You may not see it as money, where I do, since I can buy the things I need to survive with it.

    Can you go to a random store and buy food or goods? Can you send it to your landlord for rent? No, only a small sunset of orgs take it, because everyone else understands that shit like transaction delays and inconsistent gas fees means it’s impossible to effectively run a business on monopoly money that doesn’t have a set worth.

    You can consider it to have monetary value, and I do insofar as you’re playing with an unregulated security that should be taxed, but it’s not money in that you can buy an arbitrary good for sale. You’re playing with monopoly bills that someone will agree to pretend is real money, but most businesses will laugh you out of the building and tell you to come back with real money. Because crypto is just a financial asset that people give monetary worth, but it isn’t money.












  • The top comment on this thread should be an unqualified “Hell yeah!” not speculation over whether she is going to be murdered.

    What should be and what are, are frequently two different things. In this case, political candidates shouldn’t be commonly murdered, but that’s a reality for them and one they should be planning for.

    And it’s not a knee jerk reaction, it’s just a legitimate worry posted by someone who pays attention to the news. I’m sad to say that I both had the ‘hell yeah’ reaction right before thinking ‘I hope her security can keep her safe’ thoughts back to back.
