If done right(it won’t be), it could replace cash.

But you know it won’t be. They’ll control the backend of it entirely and it will never be any sort of open standard that isn’t endlessly mintable or manipulated by their whims and wishes.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to find the US lying about what it prints to curb inflation. Could you even imagine that with zero oversight?

Ehhh. Eh?

Lefty Lemmy. Liberal Reddit.

Seems more the take. Reddit has a small vocal conservative minority.

Absolutely none.

Takeaway: Trump will do it anyway, it doesn’t really matter because Democracy is currently broken.

I use an A15 and don’t use the SD card slot, but I have a home server and handheld gaming devices. I don’t use my phone to store much of anything.

I’m an outlier. I know a lot of users live in their phones without hardly any backup devices. Those are the ones who will be hit hardest by a decision like this.

logically, I’m horny

I mean looks around

Are we invisible?

Hello! Fediverse over here!

Community maintained!

Fresh memes!

Come and get it!

Or the pirates from the SpongeBob movie.

The only clothing item I buy for durability is boots. All the rest of my clothes are the cheapest possible shit I can find, because it doesn’t matter.

No one on earth can convince me a $60 pair of jeans is worth $60.

Hey hey watch your blood pressure. I’m sure he didn’t mean it.

Yeah, it is.

I can support myself but, no one else barring a few piddly donations I make once a month to wikipedia and NPR. I make enough to have a teeny bit of fun on top of my rent. I can buy my tools, work on my car and be the dude I’ve always been.

how do you work on your car in an apartm-

I drive to O’Reilly’s and tear it apart in their parking lot. They see it as advertisement. Win for me. Win for them.

I’ve come to accept that retirement might be by way of Smith and Wesson, but I’m 37, helping who I can, doing what I can and just trying to be, man, and I think I’m doing an ok job.

I see my folks, visit my mom, pay my taxes and stay out of most people’s way. When the time comes that insurance doesn’t pay out for some such terminal illness, I won’t feel that bad about going out early. I don’t have a god to disappoint.

Fuck this “you can’t get anywhere without stepping on everyone else” attitude.

The cilantro of beer.

Our best local brew(Red oak) is a Bavarian amber lager. Only the people that hate beer drink IPA.

Suddenly realizes no one under 30 goes to the bars he goes to

Holy shit. I never thought about it, really.

I don’t go anywhere exclusive or special, really. They’re just not fucking there. 😯

The o’l “can’t threaten a man with nothing to lose” gambit.

To rule as road King amongst my band of misfits.

A lot of people dive in as if the entire fediverse has the same level of nerve as 4chan.

There are a lot of sensitive people here. The best thing I learned through my dealings with Mastodon is to be kind, and lurk before hitting that comment button.

The level of discord on the fediverse waxes and wanes depending where you are. There are conversations I’d never have here, that I’d gladly have elsewhere with no ill effects. The right words for the right group of people.
