I’ll join in

Instead of a funded NHS people got austerity.

Pretty sure if you want to off yourself you’d do it differently

Just like anything else, it’s worth what people are willing to pay for it vs what people are willing to buy it for.

Currently bitcoin is just a digital commodity with a finite supply which makes it a good store of value if people continue to use it.

The thing is, there’s nothing preventing bitcoin from tanking and becoming essentially worthless besides people buying it because the price is low.

If in a hypothetical future the bitcoin price becomes stable then it will become a valuable commodity. It’s value is wholly derived from it’s users and nothing else.

It’s not very convinent for governments or large institutions to hold it in it’s current form since it’s too easy to steal without leaving a trace. For government use there is going to be needed some development to allow for government or Central banks to have complete control over the currency without giving that control away which I think might be possible. In that case settling international transactions in bitcoin as opposed to the dollar for BRICS countries might be an option which doesn’t use the US dollar.

All the other uses IMO are pretty much fluff such as paying in bitcoin.

I like my stuff hidden anyway so I don’t care all to much. I disable leds usually because they are distracting but keep one solid led to indicate whether the system is on or not.

I’d also want to see the same methodology when assessing being happy, have many close friends you can trust etc.

It most likely depends on whether or not the business operates in Denmark or not. Not sure how individual data laws will play with EU law but for sure you can still use the deepfakes on WeChat in China

In Iceland we have massive pension funds where people pay for their own retirement.

Kinda how they were “last man standing” in WW2. Everybody else got severely fucked and they won them over by with the Marshall aid program which got us to a bi-polar world with NATO in which the US was the hegemony.

After the fall of the Soviet Union and before the rise of China there was only one superpower that could act as such militarily and then US continued their power trip.

If it’s saying “cool” as an end to the conversation then it’s usually pretty rude. You need to show a bit of interest with a quick follow up like “how did you get it?” or “it took you a while?” and then ending the conversation is fine.

Renaissance exterior of building. Carvings in concrete. Stone block buildings. Gargoyles. Corner decorations on ceilings.

You’ll probably like this proposal for the flag for Antarctica then

I like Canada 🇨🇦, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and Bhutan 🇧🇹

Great first step but the vast majority of the work still needs to be done. There’s a big difference in getting 300m to the air and back and low earth orbit but Honda is an excellent candidate to get it done.

It is, along with other less desirable compounds like chlorine and PFAS depending on the filter.

This is the nature of modern day proxy conflicts. Both actors can continue easily but the “battlefield” like Gaza and South Lebanon are the ones that lose.

I’m on the opinion that marketing anything related to addiction is immoral and should be illegal. This includes cigarette, gambling, sugar, drugs (looking at you oxycontin), alcohol and even caffeine.

There is a backdoor into people’s brains that should not be used. Allow people go get their own coffee and sugar but don’t remind them it’s missing when they’re quitting.

(Coffee has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the overall death rate in adults when consuming something like 2+ cups a day so marketing it could be beneficial but the chance kids getting addicted to caffeine is something to avoid regardless.)

Those people are parroting harmful ideologies or have shitty sense of taste.

I’d still recommend a filter. It’s not just for drinking it straight but pasta, rice, soup and other boiling makes a huge difference.

Eating a spoon of rice and have it taste like sink water with carbs is not a good vibe. I want it to taste like rice or rice with minerals.
