@mollyfleck Totally! we felt the same way in San Sebastián while slurping cold San Miguels next to the beachfront playground right in the middle of all the action. so civilized! and such a pretty spot. Spain does it right.
If you take a gun safety class and your main takeaway isn’t: I will definitely never keep a gun in my home it’s far too risky. Then… you didn’t learn gun safety and shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun.
@ChrisStoneTV@sama em dashes are too long. hyphens used as commas or parentheses flow better most of the time. this is my favorite response to op so far.
@zachcoelius@jaredhulbert@mattwensing but I wouldn’t want a public ledger showing everything I own, so a semi-anonymous blockchain like BTC maybe makes sense for this kind of use-case.
@zachcoelius@jaredhulbert@mattwensing agree that title insurance is a racket, especially on refinancings. just ridiculous. title records are held in a million little government silos though so maybe one big transparent title blockchain would be an improvement.
@zachcoelius@jaredhulbert@mattwensing and why stop at property title? could have proof of title for everything you own. would make it a lot harder to fence stolen stuff. when you can prove you own something (bike, etc.) maybe the cops become more willing to go after property crime.
@zachcoelius@mattwensing well it’s not as anonymous as physical cash, which is nevertheless mostly not used for illicit purposes (I think). should cash also be banned?
