Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.

I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.

Reddit claims they didn’t and don’t have to.

There is chatroulette.

if he somehow turned it into a legitimized escort service, that would be actually useful to society, other than that he would be the one running it so it would be corrupt af and detrimental to society.

it’s every app in existence!! That means it will be worth every other app x 10!!

Sure, and instead of credit cards, the store can just write down on an index card that I owe them $60. Anyway, the idea is a level of automation exceeding what they had in Sumeria 7,000 years ago.

Some established, legitimate artists have been selling NFTs with their originals. But sure, overall, like crypto in general, the field is filled with scammers and get-rich-quick schemes.
I know someone who is a painter who for some reason decided to try selling NFTs a couple of months ago (I pointed out it was a bit late…). The only responses on opensea and Instagram she received were from scammers, trying to pull a “my payment didn’t work, you need to manually approve it” scheme to try to steal her credentials.

The concept of a certificate of authenticity for digital goods that can be traded isn’t inherently terrible.

Perhaps they’d have retained value if they had been attached to quality art rather than awful-looking algorithmically generated complete trash.

ha! Yes!

imo it’s more likely that some agitator dickweed would do that than a government. Both are conceivable, though.

To me, low-quality is when someone replies “lol” or “no you’re wrong lmao” vs a thoughtful post of multiple sentences.

Yeah, it’s just that Twitter has one less action. I guess there’s also retweets.

“Ratioed” on Twitter is when a post has more comments than likes/favorites/whatever. Twitter doesn’t have downvotes. So, more comments than heart things suggests the post is disliked or controversial, as it’s presumed that otherwise people commenting would have also “liked” it or whatever it’s called on Twitter.

Well, look at your user name.

oatmeal-raisin :(

I went to reddit every day for over a decade, and now, I don’t. Zero desire to and in fact desire not to, same as Tweeter.
