| Topic | Billionaire but perpetually single or poor and sex magnet? |
| Sad_Face 09/08/21 2:05:42 AM #21 | WingsOfGood posted... You cannot become rich. Is it really a big deal when you can leverage this ability into a network where you can make a phone call and someone will hook you up with a plane ticket to Paris at a 5* hotel? Or you're so attractive that you can convince a someone to build a private cottage for you on their property so you can live rent-free, while penniless? Or the police rolling out the redcarpet if you have any issues with the law? There's a lot of power in having influence even if you don't make money directly off of it. --- |
| Topic | El Salvador adopted BITCOIN as an official national currency. |
| Sad_Face 09/07/21 11:41:05 PM #20 | This is the future we're moving towards, or rather, what the world is aiming to do; topple the US dollar and create a reserve currency that is fair for all. What I expect to see in the future is banks issuing their own cryptocurrency, but their currency is pegged to the BTC or ETH as the BTC and ETH currently are too slow to handle transaction speeds for everyday life. It takes minutes for a transaction to go through when you want seconds when you're at the grocery store. Kloe_Rinz posted... Bitcoin uses so much energy I thought, we need something more efficient. Also Im not keen on the idea of a decentralised currency because then you have nobody to turn to when shit hits the fan With every blockchain there's the trilemma that you have to contend to; decentralization, scalability, security. One is sacrificed when you chase after the other two. The BTC network is super secure (Proof of Work is what leads it to be incredibly resource intensive) and decentralized. Because of this, it's not at all efficient. There are tons of proof of stake blockchains out there that boasts 1000x the speed of Ethereum and Bitcoin but guess what they're trading, decentralization and security. To give an example, Fantom, a darling altcoin skyrocketing in price in the past couple weeks, had an issue a few months back where 3 nodes went down and crashed the entire network. Those 3 nodes had over 30% of the staking power of the network; i.e. the network wasn't decentralized enough. We don't want to get a worse case scenario where we have one blockchain that's equivalent to the banking system we have currently, where the Federal Reserve prints money as they please with no oversight from an unbiased authority. --- |

| Sad_Face 09/07/21 12:01:28 PM #17 | WingsOfGood posted... If you choose sex magnet, tons of people want you, you find love but you will always be dirt poor. Even if billionaire bro donates, somehow you lose it. Influence is as valuable as money itself, it is a form of power. Theres a guy in NYC that is homeless but has a bed to sleep in every night because he picks up a girl every night. Epstein had connections to celebrities who, just by name drop alone, allowed you to lure teenagers to their parties (ex. Hey want to be a valet/waitress for AAA celebrity?) --- |

| Topic | How much is your crypto portfolio worth at the moment? |
| Sad_Face 09/04/21 2:31:56 AM #47 | Bullet_Wing posted... My name is getting more recognized in the space and more and more people are contracting me. Safe devs who actually know what they're doing and aren't just copy/pasting others contracts are a rare commodity in the space and my services are in high demand. I also have a "royalty" function that's multi layered and buried in my code so if people do copy my stuff, oftentimes they'll be funneling me money through their project. Brilliant. I'm learning Solidity as well, at snail's pace, though right now I'm learning about exploits. Cracking a contract that is attempting randomness really illustrates how difficult it is to have a decentralized version of randomness and gave me a stronger appreciation for Chainlink's VRF. That right there will be a proverbial money printer as it's the most adopted RNG protocol. --- |

| Topic | I have $70 to spend on crypto, what should i invest in? |
| Sad_Face 09/02/21 12:45:06 PM #17 | Ethereum is inflated with transactions to the point of congestion. It has been going on since DeFi summer 2020. Thanks to Arbitrum's release, a scaling solution, and Dapps migrating over, we should see an overall transaction fee decrease in the coming months. Also, buy chainlink, it's a swiss army knife of functionality that pretty much every big name DeFi project uses. If you care, there's a 2 hour keynote speech by the CEO from a conference they host that brings in all the biggest names in the industry as they talk about their projects and how they use Chainlink's tech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiuvsLNCg-Y --- |
| Topic | 88-Year-Old Professor Resigns Mid-Class When Student Refuses to Wear Mask. |
| Sad_Face 09/01/21 6:44:16 PM #55 | Shezarr posted... Trying to figure out what Sad_Face's angle is there, given that he's been downplaying covid for a year and pretending vaccines and masks don't work. Maybe he forgot to switch accounts. That's because I have never downplayed Covid. In fact I was among the few on this board that was preparing for it before the lockdowns. Even read up on some stock tips too. Yeah, I'm a vaccine skeptic, but that's because I've been following the pandemic from damn near the start where it was already politicized to the point where politicians didn't want do their part to prepare for the pandemic because "orange man bad". And half the things the CDC and WHO finally gave guidance on when they're not contradicting themselves, I already learned about months before. If I didn't learn anything in the past year from my toilet research, yeah I would have been front in line for the vaccine. Instead, I'll be a wait and see kind of guy and will gladly give up my rights to participate in society normally until I'm absolutely sure it's worth taking and won't interfere with my future plans. --- |
| Topic | 88-Year-Old Professor Resigns Mid-Class When Student Refuses to Wear Mask. |
| Sad_Face 09/01/21 1:14:55 AM #48 | SauI_Goodman posted... Honestly if hes vaccinated and wearing a mask he doesnt have much to worry about. I dont get it.He's still vulnerable to the virus, it only lessens the chance of you ending up in the hospital and the vaccine wanes in effectiveness by ~20% in just two months. He's 88 years old, under no circumstances should you take any chance with the virus at that age. Bernstein had a "No mask, No class" sign on his board which all students saw when they arrived in his classroom. During Bernstein's interaction with the student, he tried to explain to her that due to underlying health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and his advanced age, that he could die from COVID-19. Yeah, getting corona chan would be a death sentence for him. It was probably for the best that he resigns as opposed to having to worry every class about a possible exposure from younger adults who aren't taking it seriously. --- |

| Topic | Jabari Banks to play Will Smith's role in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot |
| Sad_Face 09/01/21 1:08:25 AM #43 | Christian RULES posted... To entertain? Do movies, shows, need any other point besides to entertain? Let me rephrase, why go for a reboot over a brand new series? As I've said before Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was carried by the cast. Not the storyline, not the world, the cast. The reboot doesn't have the same cast. What's the point? It just comes off as lazy writing and trying to bum off an established franchise's reputation instead of letting their original work stand on their own two feet and garnering attention from scratch. --- |

| Sad_Face 08/27/21 3:20:39 PM #23 | This is the reason why my district still has public schools doing online only. There are too many parents that routinely brought their kids sick to school so that the school can take care of them while they go off to work over the past couple decades or so. Throw in a pandemic on top of financially strapped and irresponsible parenting and we'll have a complete and utter disaster. --- |
| Topic | Arkansas physician giving ivermectin to jail inmates with COVID-19 |
| Sad_Face 08/26/21 1:24:55 PM #37 | Guys, are you serious? Yes, it's not FDA approved and blaze blaze. But here's a doctor who prescribes it, and has been prescribing it, and even takes it himself. Don't you want to know what his results are? Don't you want to know his own findings? Let me rephrase. He has claims. If he's truthful, he should have data on what he has done. Let that data be public so people can analyze it. Why are you saying no to asking for the full story? --- |

| Sad_Face 08/26/21 10:35:28 AM #31 | monkmith posted... yes, journalists job is to satisfy the mad fantasies of crazies refusing to accept science, they should do this by poisoning themselves to SHOW that the drugs dont work for treating covid! and when they do, we will declare it fake news and demand new testing! Dude, the foundation of science is being able to verify other people's works. If I want "proof" of human's activity on the moon, I can whip out a telescope to look for the mirrors they placed. If I want to verify equations of motion, I can derive them out myself and record the time it takes to drop a ball from X feet to the time of its landing. If I wanted to verify the size of the Earth, I can follow this other guy's strategy of whipping out a stick and measuring its shadow relative to the time of the day and some other specific distance. In this case, if we're calling for this guy's head, why not ask the basic questions, what has he done? how did he do it? what were the consequences of his actions? There's nothing to lose following up on the patients he treated because this could be a bigger story. brestugo posted... Reporters report on the findings. That's what I'm asking for. Why aren't they reporting on his findings? --- |

| Sad_Face 08/26/21 9:12:13 AM #20 | Umbreon posted... It doesn't work, because ivermectin isn't for treating Covid. We know this already, and we've already seen the horrible effects of the misuse of this drug. Then what is going on at Karas' practice? He admitted to taking it too along with his family so there's clearly a right way and wrong way to use the drug, as with all drugs, as evident by him being alive and kicking and working while still prescribing the named drug. So is he lying here? Or is his strategy in prescribing it effective? These journalists need to do their fucking jobs and answer these questions. --- |
| Topic | Arkansas physician giving ivermectin to jail inmates with COVID-19 |
| Sad_Face 08/26/21 9:01:45 AM #15 | Why didn't they inquire about the number of COVID cases he's seen, and the efficacy of the treatment from his data? He's been doing it regularly which means he has seen a number of patients and prescribed it to them. Do we have a number of people who went to him, were confirmed positive, were prescribed Ivermcetin, and then ended up in the hospital under worse conditions? How many inmates were infected and were prescribed this by him? Did their symptoms get worse? Or did life go on as usual? This article is not asking the most important question, did it work? --- |
| Topic | 6 Bizarre Realities Of Life In A Town Owned By Disney |
| Sad_Face 08/24/21 4:03:23 PM #6 | "So-called "gated" communities have been around ever since cavemen realized they had more rocks than other cavemen, and decided to live in fear and seclusion rather than risk sharing them." I haven't gotten past the sentence after this but my first thought is that this guy has never been in a neighborhood that justified the need for a HOA. I had a crackhead live next door for several months; it's stressful having to worry about having to run into his home to put out a fire, or listen to him screaming with his "tenants" as they argue who stole what from whom and get physical. Anyhow, lemme get back to the story. --- |

I have a buddy who came out as bisexual and a bunch of girls I knew who were seriously into him, as in petnaming him "husband", no longer felt any attraction to him. So be mindful of when to be open to a girl of your attraction to guys. I recognize this is going to be a tough moral dilemma as it could qualify as lying by omission, but do be aware. --- |

Whatever time it took for the internet to become what it is today, blockchain technology will take a fraction of that time. Really, if you are a crypto investor or interested in investing, watch the video, it help you to understand the direction blockchain technology is heading and what the overall goals it intends to achieve. Do note that the biggest field in blockchain right now is DeFi, the entire field is powered by Chainlink. NFT is a booming field and Chainlink, whose goal is to connect blockchains to real world data, is coming for it next.

| Sad_Face 08/23/21 11:55:32 PM #9 | Shezarr posted... Very true. Not being a pizzagater who denies covid and subscribes to a neo-Nazi conspiracy cult does though! I don't believe I've ever denied covid. In fact, I was busy preparing for it and reading stock tips regarding it before most of peeps on this board realized it existed. You'll have to be more specific on the neo-nazi conspiracy cult since anything not hardcore left is neo nazi material. But regarding the pizzagate allegations, the emails are right there for you to read. There's an email that talks about 9 and 11 year olds as entertainment for a pool party. There's another email about spending $65K on hotdogs and pizza, using the "same channels" to get to the event and hoping to get the "same waitresses". If I continue this derailment, I'll surely get modded but it's baffling people still think this when Epstein exists and had literally pizza charterboats to his island. --- |

Herd immunity just isn't going to happen. The only way to really protect yourself is to be vaccinated and other measures can still help reduce spread. In 3 months, there's a 20% drop in efficacy. What will happen in 6 months? There's a real possibility everyone will be lining up for a booster shot every year to contend to the virus. I don't like this possibility. --- |
