Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
I won’t even make fun of poo poo like that because it’s just… genuinely sad. There’s a real cost to this dumb, fraudulent bullshit that dumbfucks shill.

I will make fun of it, but it does have a bitter edge because of the innocents dragged down along with them. I guess I see these people as more like delusional anti-vaxxers than I do as gambling addicts - they have deliberately opted in to the bullshit in the former case, and their Herman Cain awards are merited.

I'm pretty sure this is because the MMO addictiveness research center at Blizzard determined the optimal number of players per instance that leads to the most strangers getting together to do quests and everyone started copying them. Never mind that WoW came out in like 2003 and none of the major cloud providers existed at that point.

BEHOLD! The power of a dedicated server, unmatched by any pitiful cloud instance:

This isn't an accurate way to frame it. As long as tether is solvent each one is worth a dollar. If there's a run that makes tether not solvent, it is worth 0.

There can't be a run on tethers because you aren't allowed to redeem them. Or another way to say it, a request of 1 USD is a run on tether.

Lol if you can't do it directly with tether, but either way, there is some way to get from crypto back to cash in the ~legit~ exchanges, which is functionally what I'm talking about.

he bought his stupid ape for 1/2 an ETH, something like $1000-1500. that's all.

then his ape got stolen, then the thief sold it for 77 ETH

in his head he thinks he's lost $300k because he's a credulous moron and still believes that NFT value isn't manipulated to gently caress-all. in reality the stupid ape jpeg was never going to put his kid through college in the first place.



so yes, there is a real human cost to having a complete dumbfuck dad who looks at a stupid ape jpeg and thinks "I'm gonna be rich!", but if it hadn't been nfts it probably would have been some other drat thing. sorry kid, you were destined to have zero college fund from the beginning.

The best part is there would literally be a cause of action in the court system with serious consequences, copyright law, except NFTs, purposefully, don't confer any actual legal ownership of the "art", or the data, or anything really.

Serious question: if bitcoin and NFTs and all that are scams, what will it take to bring it down? The serious people keep saying it is dumb but yet all these idiot fuckers are becoming millionaires while I'm not so maybe I'm just bitter

Both Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes require a constantly increasing number of people entering the scheme, because the money paid in by new joiners is what funds the gains and payouts for people already in the scheme. But that money paid in comes with expectations of getting payouts later, so the scheme has to bring in even more people. And so on. In the long run, it's ultimately unsustainable: eventually the scheme can no longer bring in enough new pay-ins to fund the payouts to people who were already paid, and all the scheme-runners can do from there is play financial shell games to try to delay the inevitable.

when i saw those posted the other day i thought... oh wow would be really stupid if you bought one for your SO and they're black.. but surely no one is that tone deaf.

i'm reading it and honestly still can't tell if its a troll because its way too spot on.

also even if i was heavily into just normal investing in like stocks... no way i'd just buy some random "investment" and just give it to my SO. that doesn't seem very thoughtful. but also the fact that the dude bought an ape jpeg of his girlfriend... like ugh... jfc.

his big controversy was telling his viewers to /spit on players who had bought paid mounts in WoW

Blizzard called it toxic harassment (because it was attacking their revenue lol). Then Blizzard got revealed as a cesspit of sexual harassment (double lol).
