What is a first edition holographic charizard worth? What is the utility of that card?

Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them.

You can’t eat a Bitcoin for sustainance. Or hammer a nail with it. You can’t do either of those things with a pokemon card either.

I feel like you get this, based on your post… But you still are hung up by it.

Bitcoin’s attractive utility for many is that you can transfer them pretty much unimpeded by any external entity. Like a government for example.

Like, hypothetically, what if you wanted to send a million dollars to your family back in, I dunno, Hong Kong. Do you think you can put that in a suitcase and hop on a plane? Do you think your bank will just send that wire? No. Government needs to know about it.

You can send a million dollars worth of Bitcoin, though. No problem.

What about if the government decides to seize your assets, for whatever reason? Maybe you were a little too loud about your support of Palestine and a man child president decided to make an example of you? They can raid your home. They can seize your bank accounts. Can they get your Bitcoin? Nope (if you’re actually holding it yourself)

What sets Bitcoin apart from other currencies is that it’s very government resistant. You CAN hold it yourself. Not digitally in a bank. Not as bills under your mattress. It cant be seized.

How much SHOULD Bitcoin be worth, given the utility it provides? No idea. But it’s something.

I mean, in this case it’s what it’s been fed, which is roughly the internet, which is roughly a giant heap of garbage.

We, collectively, are the programmers, and we fucking suck.

Not a loophole. Ambiguous and subjective criteria are designed to give decision makers cover to ultimately do whatever they want, unbound by the rules. When the system permits, the system is flawed.

It isn’t about the achieving the stated results (deportations), it’s about putting on a circus for his base and building himself a personal army built entirely of members of his personality cult.

Still only glancing off of the root of the issue: Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

One that could successfully put humans on the moon and then safely return them to the Earth? Fifty years ago?! Sounds pretty sus…

Tough to say. He’ll need never livers and kidneys no matter how good the intermediate care is. Not saying buying a healthy young person for spare parts isn’t beyond him.

You’ll know he’s grokked how badly he’s fucked his body once he starts up an organ printing/regeneration company. Which I guarantee he will, assuming by his calculation he figures out the reality of his situation in time. If he finds out late…? A bunch of Ugrher people are going to be getting blood tests and one of them is going to disappear along with any records they ever existed at all.

Yeah. I feel like almost everyone misunderstands Jon. He calls out shitty government behavior.

Republicans being a bursting cornucopia are statistically certain to spend more time in his sights, but Jon has never given Dems a “pass”. Also, his monologues aren’t just “Republicans dumb”, they’re incredibly informative about how the systems are supposed to work. He sneaks in legitimate government literacy lessons. Jon is a genius of our time.

This is what every other comedian trying to be Jon… Even on the tonight show, doesn’t seem to have internalized.

Jon deserved a break… But his original retirement left such a void.

If you read the article, he’s not accusing Biden of anything.

He’s saying that Biden wasn’t behind the things he PREVIOUSLY was railing on him over (the border specifically) and saying his team and advisors “took over” the presidency behind the scenes, and it was their agenda that they snuck behind Biden’s back because they knew he was too sick to notice.

So, I agree every accusation is an admission, but it’s important to actually read the accusations so you know what Trump is admitting to: in this case it’s being old and senile and his administration is taking advantage of him and are pushing their own agendas behind his old and senile back.

“And it’s not even close”

She’s in a statistical tie with “nobody”.

Assuming your financial decision making for a purchase of that magnitude isn’t at the “we need to make this decision together” threshold: do it.

He doesn’t HAVE to use it just because you bought/installed it.

Honestly, most provincial conservative parties DO NOT want a conservative federal government.

They have no material besides “liberals in Ottawa bad”. No boogeyman, no material.

OOOOHHHH sshhhiiiitttt

Published April 1st, so…

I don’t know if there is a massive material difference from having children being paid trash vs illegal immigrants getting paid trash. Especially given that they won’t/can’t work as hard as adults. Both depress general wages for the same reason.

IMO a simple “fascism demands a scapegoat” and immigrants have ALWAYS been a politically expedient choice sufficiently explains the phenomenon.

Other similar polls in the timeframe put “would want to” at about 9% as well. Some are even phrased as “would vote to”.

What surprised me was the 18-34 demo who are apparently about 17% for it.

That being said, the quality of a lot of these polls aren’t great. Many aren’t random samples and come with a big disclaimer.

But, still, none have been as high as 20%. That’s crazy high as a national average. Really curious breakdown by state. The most support for joining to USA is AB and it’s still around just 13%. This suggests the most “I want to leave” state wants to join Canada much more than the most “I want to leave province” wants to join the USA.

Trump is going to say it was on purpose, for some stupid reason.

No, but I expect many will be family

The most telling thing about the character of a person is what they dream of when there is a boot on their neck.

Some dream of becoming powerful enough to rid the world of those who would be a boot on the necks of others.

Some merely dream of becoming powerful enough to be the boot.
