Is there a Tl;Dr for why they are good with BitCoin and not the others? I thought they were all shady.

Supposedly it's because bitcoin isn't proof of stake.

Is there a brief explanation of why that matters for those of us who have avoided learning any technical details about buttcoins?

Those are the two fundamentally different but stupid ways of determining how the loving bullshit tokens are produced.

There's a better explanation in this video if you've got two spare hours or so:

If the War Department didn't believe their estimates, we wouldn't be issuing old Purple Hearts today.

No, their larger point is absolutely right. It takes some doing to wrap your head around the fact that the atomic bombs might've in fact been the least bad way to force Japan to surrender because we've got 80 years' worth of nuclear terror coloring our understanding of the bombings.

I think you can mock the fetid bullshit PragerU pumps out, while also being deeply concerned about what its spread means for the country.

Those weirdass greeting card from hell-looking status update images should 100% be considered a red flag by mental health professionals. I've never seen a remotely sane person use one, just the crazies.

Like until the past couple years IIRC most of the Osprey death toll comes from the Corps getting all gung ho and shoving full loads into early prototypes despite being warned it was a bad idea. Two or three crashes later and the bird got a reputation it couldn't shake despite being demonstrably safer statistically than a 46 or a Blackhawk.
