I find Bladerunner 2049 frustrating, because I *almost* love it.

The characters, themes, acting, and the overall plot structure are great, imo.

However, villains give melodramatic exposition monologues, villains leave heroes alive for no reason other than the plot needs them to, important things are left thinly guarded for no reason other than the plot needs the heroes or villains to easily get at them, etc. In other words, there are distracting writing/execution issues in what could otherwise be a masterpiece.

The first time I watched it, I didn't love it. It did stick with me though; I think about it sometimes, for years afterward. And watching it a second time I appreciated it more, but still was frustrated by the same things.

What does everyone else feel about it?

You need access to the child's number/phone to complete the registration

Looking at the website it's just put number in and click add to safelist. What would stop someone entering your number implying you're a child and block you from over 16 websites?

Sentiment is like we are at 50k…

I dont get it

I dismissed quantum computing for a while but I don’t think I should anymore…

But isn't 10% of 4.2 trillion, 400 billion? Seems they are off by 100x

The primary reason people believe in “assets” that protect their purchasing power is because they have never been able to store money in money.

#bitcoin changes this and everything else as a result.

Maybe now, but what if Bitcoin really becomes mainstream?

What goes through your mind when you hear a bitcoin whale is selling because “bitcoin isn’t what it was meant to be”?

Maybe now, but what if Bitcoin really becomes mainstream?

The idea that the free market or transaction fees alone will prevent spam is unrealistic. You cannot compare ordinary users who just want to transfer money with actors who treat the blockchain as a global billboard. What looks expensive for a simple payment may seem cheap when it buys worldwide, permanent advertising.

Government officials often use “security” as an excuse to take your rights. They’ll increasingly say they need to surveil and control your communications and payments to keep people secure.

How about starting with the streets and trains and such? If they were actually serious about security more-so than control, they’d make sure that basic stuff is sorted out first.

This is what’s happening on blue sky (leftist nostr)

In addition to celebrating Kirk’s death, they are calling for more assasinations of their political enemies.

Green sweater bro had a ranged weapon but opted for close quarters melee, wrecked.

As a London inmate I reckon it's very likely sooner. That said I think the whole West is going to implode within that time frame

My greatest concern with AI and progress is that it will remove the majority of resistance from society, thus removing most of its purpose or fulfillment.

By the way, this means confiscation of bitcoin used in criminal activities

Budget neutral means they’re not gonna buy any ‼️

I understand that Bitcoin is for everyone, but these treasury companies are so fiat. They're just using Bitcoin to play the same old fiat games. MSTR is probably the worst if you look at their leverage model. They're boring.
