I’d just like to say, this is the kind of shit I’ve been expecting since Bitcoin first emerged.
Pseudo-Banking/Pseudo-Stock exchange with NO oversight, NO controls, and NO regulations.
So, this “Not A Bank” crypto exchange holds roughly $190 Million in various Cryptocurrencies.
It’s in ‘cold storage’ which seems to mean in a block-chain wallet.
The head of the exchange dies. He’s the ONLY guy who has the password. There is no redundancy or backup plan. There is no-one to appeal to. There is no one for the BANK sorry Not-A-Bank to appeal to.
Crypto, such a GREAT idea…
I gotta double check it but
Allow me to press F on the world’s smallest keyboard for these aching souls who are responsible for tripling the price of graphics cards and who at one point were consuming more electricity than all of Ireland in their chase of the least stable investment in history, instead of just getting a normal fucking job like they tell everyone else to do.
This is hilarious.
but a heads up, speaking as someone with Crohns, it can kill you
In high school one of the common fund raisers was carnation flowers for a dollar during prom season and valentines and a couple other times of year. And you could “order” flowers to be delivered to kids during their homeroom times so it was always a big deal to get flowers and it was super fun
But one of these fundraisers I had a guy friend who commented he never got any because he was always single or his girlfriend always expected flowers but never gave him any
So my senior year valentines I decided I was going to buy all the guys in my homeroom (which he was in) a carnation and said they were from “Anonymous Girl in your homeroom”
So the day came and all the guys started getting flowers and they all realized they were from the same one girl and all got super excited and giddy and protective of their flowers and all day long I saw the guys in my homeroom wear flowers behind their ears or stuffed in their notebooks and they flaunted them around to other guys that didn’t get flowers. One guy tried to see if it would make his girlfriend jealous. A couple of them tried to play detective to figure it out who it was.
Then the next day apparently they all (or at least most of them) got together and bought all the girls in homeroom a carnation as a thank you to whoever it was so every girl in my homeroom got a bouquet of one from every guy (so it was a bouquet of about a dozen) and every single girl was smiling and happy and bouncy as the guys were the day before
And no one ever knew it was me but I was always super proud of that
One simple act can have a ripple effect of kindness that grows as it spreads
ARE WE FUCKING SERIOUS
Not to sound fucking alarmist, but uhhhhhh if Trump forcing immigrants to wear yellow insignias wasn’t enough of an alarm bells for you, maybe this is.
I’m real tired of seeing skinny white kids painted as THE AVERAGE QUEER. Like please show me a curvy Indian agender kid from Brooklyn, a hispanic lesbian and her black girlfriend. A trans demisexual dude from Korea. GIVE ME SOMETHING OTHER THAN LANKY PALE PEOPLE WITH COLORFUL HAIR PLEASE GOD.
I will never stop linking to this article: Black People Make Up Largest Share of LGBT Community
Let’s stop pretending otherwise, OK Media?
Damn
WATCH AND REBLOG THIS VIDEO. PLEASE
Yaaaaaassssssss my fucking lorddddd they switched the audio and image!!
honestly
No words…it’s all been said.
Wow I never even notice that before but as you can see blatant racism right there in our faces every day with the media
Yeah my family and i watch the news a lot so we have noticed and known this racist ass trend for a gery long time with our own eyes. Us black people need to watch the news more and see with our own eyes this bullshit
I posted abt some really awful cat breeds yesterday and I want to expand on a couple things
A few people were asking about scottish folds and the pain they’re in.
With Scottish Fold cats, the bones and cartilage do not form properly, and as a result they have the overly large head, short face and jaw. They also have short, bandy legs and thick immobile tails. The cartilage is not strong enough to work as a shock absorber in the joints and as such it wears out very quickly leading to severe arthritis and spinal issues.
Cartilage is what keeps a cat’s ears standing up, and since folds have major issues in that department, that’s why their ears are floppy. The floppy ears are DIRECTLY related to the pain.
Because here’s the other thing: kittens born from scottish fold litters that DON’T have the fold? Also don’t have the pain. The ear fold is a symptom of a much more body-wide, painful problem.
A kitten with the Scottish Fold gene from both parents will show signs of arthritis on X-ray from as young as seven weeks old.
Scottish fold cats gained serious popularity after a few celebrities (Thanks Taylor Swift, thanks Ed Sheeran) got them and these particular cats recieved a lot of visibility on social media.
Great going, guys.
On the note of famous cats, you know Maru? You probably do, they’re the kitty that got famous by jumping into boxes a bunch. As you do!!
Maru is technically a scottish fold too, but without the fold, which is why Maru can lead a better, less painful life than other scottish fold cats. Chronic pain begins for folds in kittenhood and follows them for the rest of their lives. Maru is lucky, and has lots of energy, like a healthy cat would.
Cats display pain differently than humans. While another animal may limp, or cry, cats will act “”””calm””””, and opt to lay down and sleep rather than display normal signs of agony. That’s why Scottish folds are so “”calm”“.
Folds who are given doses of painkiller at the vet will also suddenly perk up, displaying a personality you might not even know they had. For the cats that get this experience, this will be the first time they’ve ever felt normal in their lives.
So yeah! That’s a little more detail.
Please don’t encourage the viral spread of popularity among unhealthy pure-breed cats like the fold.
If you have the resources to care for a Fold (or any pure-breed animal with health problems for that matter) that you find at a shelter, by all means give it all the love you can, but don’t encourage their popularity, and don’t pay breeders.
Men really think that women’s liberation is about whether or not we let them view our bodies lmao
don’t stop me now by queen is such a bi anthem like. the inclusion of both “supersonic man” and “supersonic woman”. the screaming before the guitar solo. the melodic piano at the end trying to cover up the overall chaotic energy of the song
Gratitude - Tidying Up With Marie Kondo (2019)
I fucking love Marie Kondo. At this point, she’s the only minimalist/organizer I’ve seen who understands that an emotional attachment to things is a natural and good human experience. And she advocates for people to focus on all the things that they love, and doesn’t make judgements on what those things are. (And despite the negativity going around, she does not say to throw away all of your books! She wants people to treasure the books that they love, and create space to showcase the books that you care about.) She’s an angel and I love her.
yes ty!
also there’s a lot of reactionary or misled ppl trying to make her into some for-rich-ppl-only minimalist caricature when everyone she visits on the show is clearly middle class and sometimes poor.
she’s not forcing – or even suggesting – ppl get rid of everything for the sake of getting rid of things. one couple she visited ended the show with about double the stuff that other families started with, and yet she still praised them and told them how much better it looked, and they still said how glad they were they did it, and how they were satisfied with the amount they ended with.
>>>her purpose here isnt to be minimalist. it’s to declutter so that you keep only what you truly want and need, to give focus to your daily life so you’re not distracted or held back.<<<
and the ppl making her into some angry, all-powerful, scary-woman meme are just. being mean. or they’re genuinely frightened by a very gentle, kind woman, which is. weird. stop that?
some of the ppl on the show mistakenly lean toward getting rid of things that really matter to them in an effort to please marie, but like she praised a teenage boy who decided to keep his first sippy cup cuz he was emotionally attached to it. she told his mom to give the sippy cup a place of honor above the sink so he could look at it everyday.
>>>she, herself, is non-judgemental and encourages parents n family to be non-judgemental towards others, as well. she, herself, thinks you and only you can, should, and must, determine for yourself what to keep, and why.<<<
others are misinterpreting her, out of a need to please her (and then becoming scared of this boogie-man mother-figure they make out of her) and they shouldn’t, particularly since getting rid of everything is precisely not what she wants.
