Back when I would occasionally listen to Armchair Expert I heard Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis pushing real hard for NFTs/bitcoin and thought it all sounded so dumb. I mean banks suck but anyone with half a brain could tell that only a few people would come out ontop with crypto and a lot more would lose money they can't afford to lose.

Interestingly the characters they played on That 70s Show were so good because they, too, are both really stupid in real life. So, art imitated life very convincingly.

Crypto is good for one thing: demonstrating, often with object lessons, why financial regulations exist.

Air Skwirl posted:Investing in NFTs is so loving dumb I don't feel that bad about them losing money on that, but there should be a reasonable expectation that you can go to a concert and not get blinded I would guess that the organizers would absolutely be liable for damages to anyone who got burned by the lights, the problem is that you have to extract it from them and that is a difficult and expensive process on its own.

The couple that sent a letter to the judge in Danny Masterson's rape trial talking about how good of a person he is, then immediately had to put out a statement that of course they Believe Women and would never do anything to try and make a horrible situation worse for a woman that was raped? Golly, who would've thought they would shill crypto

This would've been before that but yeah.. On a similar note my dad was telling me how the TV show "The Ranch" was being canceled because one of the actors was a victim of the me too movement which caused me to die inside. Had to educate him on what a "victim" really is.

Violet_Sky posted:https://twitter.com/ahitposter/status/1721491507566596564 Photokeratitis is MAYBE a couple thousand dollars worth of treatment, and that's only if it turned into a corneal ulcer and needed an amniotic graft or something. Otherwise I'd guess it's just a few hundred dollars.

It’s worse than the nearly pure 253.7 nm from a low-pressure mercury lamp. Big Clive is saying that even then, welders make full recoveries, so the apes will certainly be fine.

I kind of feel compelled to post this message whenever US healthcare comes up, but: I'd like to validate the rage and dread you feel as a result of living in america. Your healthcare system is the worst in the world, and is a literal tool of Satan. Anyone telling you otherwise is a soulless ghoul. The rest of the planet looks on your bizarre vampiric system with mingled pity and dread. It doesn't have to be this way Also that last video is fantastic
