Not a surprise, the good old days for each person is pretty much always when they had the most autonomy and the least responsibility.

That has been true of every decide for at least a century.

Can I assume you were a teenager/early 20s in the 90s?

Exactly. In the UK version he was not an angry, shouty cunt. That was added for the US show.

It’s as if people think The Rock was actually the heel he played in WWE or Anthony Hopkins is actually a cannibal who kills and eats people.

Give them advice about how to do it to someone else.

The vast majority of people (i include myself in this) will fuck it up in some way and end up harming themselves. If you seek to destroy someone’s life and you don’t actually end it, you leave behind someone who has nothing left to lose and is highly motivated to find who is responsible.

If you destroy someone’s life they may end yours.

you eat dog shit?

You don’t notice when you step in dog shit?

No but only because I stopped using google search years ago.

It has been getting worse for the last decade.

It can never be a currency as the values fluctuate so wildly it is useless as one.

you seem to think about cryptocurrencies like gold as well; an investment.

because that is what it actually is used for.

My question was about the future of them as a normal currency

That is dead and burred.

The one thing a currency needs is a relatively stable value, otherwise it is useless as a medium of exchange…ie: money.

While crypto is as stable as that bear that ate a couple of kg of cocaine.

I think of it as a ponzi scheme because that us what it has become.

They will continue to be a ponzi scam that hopeful idiots will keep losing money on.

Considering the ring tab, this image is at least 40 years old.

What are you posting that you are worried about?

Honestly. You are just not that interesting. Neither am I.

You have hundreds of comments here and I can read them all.

But I didn’t bother. You are not that interesting. (nor are the vast majority of humanity, so I am not singling you out here.)

If you don’t want people reading your posts and comments. Do not post or comment.

Did you read the comment you replied to or did you just spit out this pre-packaed reply that addresses nothing the original comment raised?

Not really. Just that consciousness is an incredibly complex thing that we don’t really understand.

Dissociation as a side effect of a medication I was on.

It is really hard to describe. It was as if I was a passenger within my own body and mind. I was watching myself do and say things with no feeling of presence or control.

Why is the British empire so aggressively hated right now?

You communicate in English, so the British empire will be the focus.

The colonies we had were far better treated than most colonies of the era, or ever to be honest.

Reads early Aus convict history and the extermination of the Aboriginal people. … Are you fucking delusional?

If you want to educate yourself on the subject I suggest reading The Fatal Shore and Aboriginal wars:

New book reveals sophistication of Indigenous tactics during frontier wars

The killing times: Australia’s map of frontier war massacres updated

We didn’t rape and pillage as much as everybody else so we were the GOOD GUYS!!

You are not to blame for the actions of past members and of the society you live in but to hand wave away the historical reality of colonialism is not helpful in any way.

Yes, every people’s history is filled with this shit, that does not make it better.

Simply put.

We wouldn’t notice anything.

Our perception of the world would be based only on the compute cycles and not on any external time-frame.

The machine could run at a Million Billion hertz or at one clock-cycle per century and your perception of time inside the machine would be the same.

Same with low ram, we would have no indication if we were constantly being paged out to a hard drive and written back to ram as required.

Greg Egan gave a great explanation of this in the opening chapter of his Novel Permutation City

Got a followup?

No?

Didn’t think so.
