We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don’t get stale.

It’s horrifying to see so many incidents of kidnapping in courtrooms. I can’t imagine a more blatant and clear example of subversion of the legal judicial process.

There would be no reason to remove them from a courtroom if you believed the court would come to the same conclusions they have. So the logical explanation is that they know that what they’re doing is illegal and that these people they’re snatching haven’t actually done anything wrong. It’s shameful that we’ve allowed this to happen in our country and frankly, it’s embarrassing that this is what the once great USA has stooped to.

Well you must have more money than you need. Perhaps you’re one of these rich people we’re all excited to eat.

If someone gave any rational person a free car (or in fact paid them to take it), they’d take the car and either drive it, resell it or give it to someone else. These are basically the only non crazy options. There aren’t many people who look at $20,000 and say “nah… let’s burn it”.

I know it was hyperbole, but it was still a ridiculous statement. Unless it wasn’t hyperbole, but then that could only make it dishonest.

Yes well done, thanks for spreading the good news, I’ve been saved.

Jesus Christ this community never fucking misses a chance change a discussion to Linux. It’s tiresome.

And he was trained to do so.

Yeah, there was no training, they aren’t trained to go into space. I don’t see how astronaut could possibly be an appropriate title. They’re payload mass in a sounding rocket.

If they’re already doing that, sure. Though that is harder to cover the tracks of.

I mean, Bitcoin is an appropriate currency to use as a reserve, that’s not misguided. The problem is that they can’t be trusted with access to the funds.

That’s not a great assumption. He doesn’t need to take the margins on an increased value of Bitcoin, maybe making 20% on a quick investment… he could take the Bitcoin itself! Instead of making 20% on the money that he and his cronies put in, he could make 100% on the money the NATION puts in… It’s the difference between millions and many billions!

This is a much bigger deal than a pump and dump scam! Bitcoin is cash, he could convert it into any currency in the world whenever he wants. It’s instant money laundering.

I see what you did there Dad

They don’t have to pay anything, they’re not buying them.

You forgot the part where they take all the government purchased Bitcoin and cash that out to personal accounts.

They could literally steal billions of dollars this way… It’s terrifying.

Yeah, we can’t let them do this… Bitcoin is electric cash, once they have public funds in Bitcoin, they have turned it into private funds, they’ve already pocketed it. We can’t let them steal from the country like that…

I’m not sure that’s sound investing advice…

Hah. Yeah, put your money where your mouth is! I fucking dare you!

Put all your money into that worthless joke!

That is fucked up…

Alright, that’s a good use case, I like that.

I’m not saying both aren’t possible. And I’m not saying both don’t apply here.

But in general, if you make it a practice to remember Hanlon’s razor, you will be both correct more often and generally happier. I’m just suggesting, do it for your own sake. Assume the best of intentions in people, because usually people do mean well. And also expect them to let you down by making genuinely stupid choices, because then you won’t be surprised when they do.

If I were to read a book on my computer, I would use one screen. That’s kinda my point. A second monitor does nothing for me in that scenario.

But it folds like a book, and i see it being held like a book. If that means text populates in two columns like a book, and you read one column at a time, I really don’t see the point of the second side. You can just turn the page.
