I hate it so much that everyone started using “metaverse” to mean “thing with internet” or “thing with VR” instead of just “that lovely Facebook version of VR chat nobody wants”

Tunicate posted:It costs me only $45 dollars to send ten thousand bucks internationally through my bank, and if I screw up the destination address the recipient has to pay an additional $18 fee to their bank for correcting 'Somebody Co' to 'Somebody Co. Ltd.', instead of having it vanish into the ether forever. Big fees to send money internationally is mainly an american thing and mainly due to the credit card lobby keeping the system antiquated on purpose. I've been able to send money to most of the planet with no fees for a couple years now, something bitcoin claims to be able to do and very much cannot.

they're also ruining the word root "meta-" just like they did crypto. like some post afew pages ago already mention some dumbass gamers inventing a Backronym that meta means "most effective tactic available."

Just a general reminder that Konami makes more money from video games than any other division, and its video games make more money by themselves than Square Enix does as a whole. They still make lots of games each year, they just aren't AAA things which is what they cut to fix their profitability all those years ago. Konami is also the only company I know of that actually made money off their NFT sales, and they were upfront how dogshit they were and made them worse and told you they were.

Imagining being the guy in a haunted house that just operates the bat on a fishing line, except instead of being a thing you do for fun one weekend a year you do it 60 hours a day 6 days a week in hopes of maybe making enough to survive another month

TransferWise or "Wise" as it's know known (because who wants anyone to be able to tell what you do from your name!?!) is great. Low fee, good exchange rates. I moved a ton of cash between two countries and it was way cheaper than any bank and way easier than western union or whatnot.

Occasionally you’ll see some butterflies on a stick flying in the background of a scene, and I imagine they make the interns do it, or have visitors to the show do it so they can say they operated a puppet during a taping. That, or they have someone’s job title as “Butterfly Operator”.

I'm so tired of these people hyping web3 all fuckin day. This poo poo has been debunked to death and yet they all celebrate it and the word salad it represents. Why are people so goddamn stupid? Things required to run  web3: All the technology we already rely on. Clearly innovative! Can web3 exist without all of that? Obviously not. Like...a bunch of fairly non technical people who are excited will use the jargon like it's a real thing, but in reality everything web3 is all the poo poo the internet has done for decades because there isn't a web3. I would compare web3 to slapping a type r sticker on a car.

It's late stage capitalism, you have to have the endless treadmill of marketing hype even as there's nothing actually coming out. Most companies exist as appendages of their marketing departments.

Another day of a large dump to an exchange, let's hope it ends this fake pump. CryptoQuant alerts posted:🚨🚨🚨 8,457.05 #BTC ($166,263,473) Anything above 50m is significant, this was 4 hours before my post.

so the way that works is that the home sits in an LLC (limited liability company - think a corporation, just simplified a lot) and what you buy is not the house - it's the LLC there are a number of problems with this but the most significant one is liability. imagine someone slips and falls in your house and sues you. you sell your house to a buyer: the buyer doesn't need to care about that litigation. but if the house is owned by an LLC and you buy the LLC - congrats, you're now the defendant because the defendant is the LLC. the slip-and-fall guy is going to own your home if you don't pay him. you have inherited that litigation, and any other litigation you didn't know about. oops.

Or is it on the buyer's due diligence?
