The core tenants of blockchain tech were and should indefinitely be:
-Decentralization (open source, peer-to-peer, etc)
-Trustlessness (transparency, immutability)
-Anonymity (not necessarily privacy)
Deviations from these tenants will lead to compromise, fraud, & regression.
Hypocrites.
People outraged that Hunter Biden was using influence for his gas deals, while this even more blatant pay-for-play scheme goes on.
Not surprising, but what a freaking joke.

@Lunaro_400 Not solvable, I just put it through a quantum simulation and superposition couldn’t find a solution. Nice trick. I’m a genius so trust me. But really, it’s not solvable without cheating.
Bring back T9 texting at this point. Why is the @Apple keyboard worse than ever?!
My conspiracy therapy is that they want you to use talk-to-text more in order to capture more of that speech data to train models.
Otherwise, I don’t know why the Apple keyboard is so trash now.
Okay, I’m not saying that this is an inter-dimensional being, ghost, or alien; but I’m not not saying that it is either.

@gotrice2024 Our city makes the drainage of water from your property your problem, and if it damages the property next to you then you have to mitigate it. So basically they’d have to install the drainage, not the neighbor with the wall.
@barstoolsports Am I lame now? The kill Tony episodes I’ve seen on Netflix are not funny, like at all. Did I just see bad episodes or do they really all suck that bad?
@KobeissiLetter If enough money is paid, who would really be surprised if he gets the pardon. Especially because his parents operate in those political realms. It would be the perfect middle finger to the other 90%-99% of people that are getting royally screwed.
