So Calvin's theft story is sadly a hoax but honestly it's even funnier that he's willing to go to humiliate himself to try and make his monkeys look more valuable

there’s apparently a thing now in discord to link your coinbase account, given how often people run account hacks through discord the last thing any smart person would do is do that

but no smart people have coinbase accounts so this should be entertaining

also foone on twitter did a great summation of how nfts are just an ancient scam being rerun while there’s no laws against it yet and why nfts are going to become even more prevalent in the next year

I don’t remember this person. Any quick n dirty links to the background here (maybe SA Encyclopedia?). In the instant view right here I thought it was a joke reading of a too-serious dummy playing straight for a laff. This is serious-minded actual anger over copy/paste drama?

there's this old fplus ep about people who get monkeys for pets, and they're by far some of the dumbest human beings i have ever heard of. like they fall for the most obvious scams from people trying to rip them off in monkey purchases, after buying the monkey they find out that oh, actually this isn't like a disney movie at all huh, hell at one point one of them talks about how the only thing that prevented them from willingly sending even more money to a scammer was that they had maxed out their credit card.

no idea why i'm thinking about that ep a lot lately, must be a coincidence.

eh, idk. same poo poo as the twitter organized twitch blackout days that do fuckall. there's an /actual/ silent majority here. the majority of people who have nitro subs, even as extremely online as that population is compared to society at large, just don't care, if they even know about this. discord remains a better alternative to teamspeak or curse (lol) or whatever, and the people who will drop a sub because of it are a drop in the bucket.

more likely the fad passes and they wash their hands of it after, hopefully

let's be honest this is the only reason anyone pays for that is to spam poo poo universally

This weekend the office crypto-bro got his social media phished. This is funny on its own, but the bit that kills me every time is that apparently nobody could tell the bot that began spamming some shitcoin "opportunity" aggressively in posts and DMs apart from his usual posting, so at least one person jumped in on his hot tip for $3k according to office gossip, and he called out today because they are pissssssssssed

I'm waiting to see if he even shows back up this week because I feel like that's a rage that isn't cooling down in a day or two

I think "the majority of people who have nitro subs... don't care" is meant to read as "Restricting our attention to those people who have nitro subs, the majority of them don't care"; not "The majority of people have nitro subs, and they do not care".

I was only vaguely aware of the existence of discord nitro, because they don't really market it.
