Definitely not how that works. All companies are taxed and they don’t get any special representation outside lobbying that they were going to do either way and churches do in fact put a lot of the money they should have payed in taxes into lobbying.

You know what is worse? Depressed bed blobs pretending that they are introverts and normalizing antisocial behaviour. Healthy introverts have and regularly meets friends. They just don’t do it as often and in the same way as extroverts. I know these things because I went to therapy instead of trying to normalize my insecurities on the internet.

Is fire an invention? I feel like it is something that happens to us wether we like it or not.

They can just not vote but they do vote and they vote for the degenerates so that… They get lower taxes? Is that what they are selling their souls for?

I never thought of him being immune to Sauron as him being powerful. He is just like the the hobbits but to its fullest. Bombadil is perfectly content with his own existence and there is nothing for the ring to tempt him with.

Natural resources it the prime example. I think all natural resources should exclusively be under democratic control and all profits from the sale of naturals resources goes exclusively to the government. Developed land like private housing gets complicated fast but ideally things should work like things work now but the government fulfills the functions of a landlord.

Popular vote is what the most number of people want. The idea that popular vote is bad is anti-democratic.

Nobody should be allowed to own land. You can build a building and that building is yours because you built it but you can’t make land and the only reason you own it is because someone in the past used violence to take it.

All NFTs are scams and if you think any of it isn’t a scam it’s because you are getting scammed by that particular variant.

They are not giving such license and even if they did, it’s a completely different system that is called copyright law. We had that way before NFTs existed. The NFTs part of the system has absolutely nothing to do with the image and copyright management.

People think that because it’s the only way the whole thing isn’t a stupid waste of time and resources.

Also it isn’t bad art but it is art that is indistinguishable from any highschooler that likes to draw.

NFTs does not let you own images. The weird monkey company still owns all the monkeys. You own a piece of code that you can trade and monkey company pinky swears to keep a database where each piece of code has one unique monkey.

Should the monkey company ever want to go back on that promise they can just have 2 codes have the same image with no legal consequences.

Both the democratic and republican party are several smaller parties tied together into two disgusting rat king. If one of them disappear today there will be an instant split of the surviving party into two new rat kings. The collapse isn’t what they fear. They fear that the Overton window would move left.

Community points isn’t supposed to be valuable. This is about making people start a vault/wallet and engage in crypto in a way that is fun and non threatening. They already tried it with the avatars but I doubt it got a whole lot of traction. At some point the real crypto currency will appear and suddenly reddit will have a platform with a couple of millions users that already has a wallet set up and ready. That will make reddit one of the biggest crypto platforms on the internet.

This is also what the API thing was about. Third party apps didnt/couldn’t include the vault on their apps so a lot of user didn’t even know the vault existed until now.

By a vast margin. Replies are apparently unusable as a thing for communication because if you have a checkmark the algorithm ignores any other consideration.

And all it took was a mob gathering outside his place of work with a nose, chanting that they will hang him personally.

Yeah! How dare they burden your precious little head with things you don’t already know. Doesn’t they know that this post is exclusively for thing that cater to you personally and nobody else?

I do the cali cat at half size (because I have no patience). They look cute and you get a performance review for the filament as well as color.

We the people made up the rules and we can change them in any way we want. If the supreme Court has some kind of magic that stops that they are free to deploy that but in the meantime we can assume that they are flesh bags like the rest of us.

I don’t think they hate themselves. They just hate other things that republicans also hate. They hate poor people, gay people and trans people enough that they are willing to take some hits to themselves as long as it hits the other groups harder.
