"I can tell you upfront, [blockchain]’s a bizarre journey to nowhere. I’ve never seen so much incomprehensible jargon to describe so little. I’ve never seen so much bloated bombast fall so flat on closer inspection. And I’ve never seen so many people searching so hard for a problem to go with their solution."

hot take: we should have kid-friendly pride AND also 18+ pride

hear me out

✅ twice as many prides

✅ young kids get a place where they can see and meet people from all across the rainbow, which is completely separate from...

✅ adults having a place where they can literally fuck in the streets if they want, c’mon it’s fucking pride

i can’t imagine another example where the totality of a human’s existence is expected to fit such small singular confines, so why on earth do we do that with pride

The "my experience with (thing) was not bad therefore all experiences with (thing) are good and all of you are wrong" is such a white take that photographers use it to white-balance their cameras.

if you make a joke on Mastodon, no matter WHAT the content is, after 50+ boosts people will appear in the replies that take it completely at literal face value.

you could post "a man walks into a bar, says ouch!" and if it receives 50+ boosts, then you will begin seeing replies like "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN STEEL BAR PLACEMENT IS DEREGULATED BY PROFIT DRIVEN CROOKS!"

this theory is commonly known as Eugen's Gambit. and i love it.

the blockchain would scale better if we put the blockchain on the blockchain
