Honestly, the lottery has been around a lot longer but the idea is the same. Those who know it’s a scam don’t buy into it, obviously.

That being said, many people still beleive they have the chance and it still brings in a ton of money with a payout to a few and the rest going to the government.

Same bs.

No, not everyone.

Why would memecoins generate any money ever if everyone knew it was bs?

You can still be beautiful on the inside

Heat is heat, “low density large volume” or whatever, they’ve successfully used it in cold climate locations to heat residential homes already.

YouTube can burn.

They generate more money than whole countries and you want to give them more? I don’t have to pay them shit for them to make money off of me from my browsing history alone.

I would rather speed forward the enshittification to the point that all creators decide to strike and hop over collectively to another, kinder, video hosting site.

In the meantime Google benefits from my viewing data/history and sells that over and over. They’re making money hand over fist and then when you pay them for a “premium” experience you’re just handing them more. You’re already a cash cow for them with just using the site. Screw that noise.

Give directly to the creator.

The string above this pointed out that the greyhound bus is more expensive than the delta flight from the same start to finish.

I’m not saying the price increase isn’t bullshit or acceptable, but you are already paying more for the greyhound for slower travel.

Maybe the convenience of speed as well? A plane will get you coast to coast in just hours vs a bus or train.

I think it’s more the psychology of the nofap group themselves that’s hurtful. I’ve seen many/most discussions that are fine, but others are just wildly toxic with a cult-like “discipline”.

You’re either with us or against us.

Us vs. the system/females/people in power.

You’re better than others. Or, if you trip up, you’re garbage.

There’s no in-between and no room for mistakes.

That’s not good for you in the long run and it’ll hurt more than it helps.

You don’t eat your toothbrush or floss right? I think that’s what the above poster was getting at.

You shouldn’t eat a toothpick, either.

This swings both ways. Public information such as voting records, for example, were used to coerce, intimidate, and physically hurt innocent people in the past. I think it takes a mature culture/society to use public information responsibly and I don’t think we are there yet.

Then again, a ton of awful stuff happens in private already, so there needs to be a balance of some kind.

Yes.

No canned onion rings on top?

It’s the same thing every season. Cold, flu, RSV, mycoplasma, hundreds of other viruses and bacteria, now COVID all go up when people congregate. We’ve known this since grade school.

Why the news is being sensationalist, who really knows? /s

If they ever do a second season, I’d love it if they refrained from trying to shoehorn in any radical changes.

You underestimate the power of thirst

Ayyyy! Now yer talkin’!

It won’t be a terminator style takeover by AI, mankind will simply lend all of our trust and capability to it rendering us dependant. Even to the point of liking our computer overlords.

I think that particular apocalypse is a long time off and can be avoided, but it’s coming.

It’s because they dissolve within 5 minutes of use after poking them through the plastic lid.

I was gifted a metal collapsible one recently because of my bitching about it and it’s a better experience.

They’re not the same.

Natural gas is composed of a few different things like butane methane even propane and a few others.

Propane is just propane.

For environmental purposes, propane is cleaner than natural gas.

I don’t think the article distinguished the two.
