I agree (for the most part). I still don't see a lot of them around on either side. But you might be right in that I was expecting more right wing libertarians as well.
I consider myself left libertarian btw.

Yeah it is exactly what people engaging in fraud rely on. The more money that is on the line, the less likely the heuristic works. Reddit had an obsession with popular heuristics. The whole point of one is to quickly make an assessment when you don't have either the time or resources. It is not a proof, never has been. The other one people always bring up is Occam's razor. All razors are heuristics, heuristics are never proof.
Although in this case the claim is that Elon is intentionally tanking twitter, which is also a ridiculous claim.
I was expecting more libertarians.
It was someone suffering from a mental illness or personality disorder. They went out of their way to be stuck at the airport. Refused help from family, refused help from a reporter who actually went through the trouble of proving his citizenship. He wanted to be at that airport and live that life.
Lol great analogy
Just a friendly reminder: The Stanford Prison Experiment was not an experiment. There was no control group, there wasn't even proper procedures set up. It was just some professor off his rocker that had a dumb idea, made shit up as he went along, forced the outcome, then publicized the results. People always compare it to Milgram. This idiot can't hold a candle to Milgram.
It's poor branding, at least if someone knows Lemmy and they see a Lemmy link, they will go to it. Lemm.ee doesn't intuitively look like a Lemmy instance to an outsider.
When the vegetable meat costs more than the animal meat, I can feel the "I'm being ripped off". Make fake meat cheaper than real meat and I'll eat it all day long.
Not sure why people hate him so much. I figured it was due to the "Narcissism of small differences". His world view is completely in line with his beliefs. He's not wrong, BTC is no less a fiat currency than US dollars. I happen to think that is irrelevant, and that an open sourced fixed supply fiat currency can be a superior form of money, but it doesn't surprise me that a gold bug would feel differently.
I'm more confused by Bitcoiners hating on Schiff than the other way around. Who cares? Half the world still calls it a scam. I'm happy to let gold bugs in my tent and let them challenge BTC if they also attack central banks and the FED.
Besides, at the end of the day, iron sharpens iron. I actually think well thought out descent helps strengthen the community.
I like Jack, didn't know he was doing that. I am not a fan of hardware wallets though. With a little extra effort, you can have higher security at a lower cost.
That being said, it's a pain in the ass what I do and hardware wallets are a reasonable solution for most people.
I still go on Reddit too 😅 If there is anything good, I try to find the original source and then post it here (I can't stand when people post a link to someone else commenting on and referencing another source, why?!? Just give the primary source!)
What I realized is that most of it honestly isn't good enough to bother copying.
If you come across anything, even Reddit, and it's worth a read/listen, post it here.
I don't want to defend spez, buuuuut, it was /r/the_donald, and it was kinda funny. It was not like a covert operation to change the dialog, it was obvious what happened when it happened, it was a troll move. Still inappropriate no doubt, but like, not the same as a disinformation campaign.
