  1. Crypto / NFTs don't address problems with wealth distribution and a heavily top loaded economy. NFTs do, in theory, offer an alternative to speculative land grabbing, and, in the long run, they might make it easier for governments to start heavily taxing land purchases and/or enact more strict rent stabilization policies. That might be a bit beyond our scope at this point, though, since digital currency isn't regulated sufficiently to make it secure or a reliable source of revenue stream for governments.
  2. To add to what Sawdy already (rather concisely) said, NFTs are a natural progression of digital currency. Just as inherent limitations to physical currency create the need for crypto currencies, NFTs expand financial instrumentation beyond the finite amount of physical property (land, art, vehicles, etc). We may not be to the point where wealth building is being critically restricted, but the ability of traditional currency (backed by a country's central bank) to expand isn't limitless.
  3. Oh.. you're in one of your moods. Cool, I'll give you your space.
  4. Yes, I do know how maps work, thank you.
  5. Lol. Are you saying you and TOG are psychopaths? I actually live more or less 250 from Doom, and I would invite that dude.
  6. That clears it up for me. I could tell the fold was going to be a problem, but I was also thinking the paper itself might have a treatment that made it impossible to use one side of the paper. Like, if one side of the paper has texture and the other is smooth or it the outside has a wax coating to protect it from saliva. I mean, I have no fucking clue, I was just curious if there were other elements at play besides the glue strip. And, yes, rolling papers are interesting even to those of us who don't smoke.
  7. This post is objectively a failure in every conceivable way.
  8. Oh right. Except for this ^ guys place. Why didn't you invite TOG and Benji over for the big game?
  9. Everwhere inside a 300 mile radius of where he lives is like that.
  10. I joked that Gen Xers are like “This some good shit,” and everyone else watching the show is like “What the fuck is this?”
  11. This is blowing up Top 40, btw.
  12. But how did his dick taste?
  13. Paying for someone else on a date doesn't make you feel dysphoric. You're just trying to justify being a glutton without having to pay for it. Also, it's not about "guys" being the chivalrous ones. It's about the person on the date who has better means to pay for the outing. No woman who is serious about the date is going to inisist a guy pay what she knows he can't afford, but, at the same time, most guys will insist on paying because it's a way of showing her that he is willing to invest in a meaningful relationship. Furthermore, it's not about how much is spent, it's about the willingness to spend it: plenty of women don't want to feel like they're beholden to the man by having him buy their time, but, at the same time, they want to know the guy is more serious than just being friends. People who ask to "go dutch" on a date are only looking to be friends.
  14. Joke works better this way.
  15. You mother fucker.
  16. Sure, sure.
  17. I like that you've taken my constructive criticism to heart, but there's no need to be reckless here.
  18. Finger assholes,
  19. OK. Now I see what the problem is.....
  20. Why do old people always think you're talking about them?
  21. Because there is no way to play the game with non-contact. All the other major sports discourage the high risk plays that might lead to injury, focus more on scoring.over defense. Even hockey tones down the physicality. But, there is no way to play football without tackling or playing an entirely different game. I guess you could do a skills challenge instead of a game, but if no one watches the game, no one will watch a skills challenge either. Edit: Watching the Pro Bowl on Sunday only reinforced my opinion. It was like watching a game of three flies up.
  22. They’ve taken some steps recently to address the first problem with a new initiative that encourages tourists to engage with locals. The second problem is one that’s shared by cities along the western seaboard and the answer cuts to the core of personal freedom. Arguably, Hawaii is best suited for a communal approach to property, and that’s what will likely have to happen. Prime time scripted dramas probably do more to exacerbate the latter than the Pro Bowl ever did.
