Well I certainly don't feel responsible for your hunger or your dad's accident. I do care a lot about the inherent novelty in your beliefs if that counts for anything, but I've been assuming that you weren't talking with me just out of a desparate and insecure desire to validate your beliefs to yourself anyway.

Speaking of your beliefs, I'm curious: would it make any difference to you one way or another if I WAS responsible for the hunger of a child? Or would the welfare tax that everyone pays absolve me of any unique responsibility in your eyes?

UGH! Just met this God believer today, they said they were a believer because of all of the DATA and EVIDENCE. Can you believe that? "Do you have any idea how BORING data and evidence are?" That's what I asked them. How can they stand it? I knew that arguing with them would be an incredibly exhausting experience, so I left.

Anybody else been in those circumstances?

Lmao, the best idea I can come up with is this: anonymously make a Craigslist post asking for someone to let me pay them to use their Paypal account. Then, using my real identity, respond to that listing. Then, I can proceed to pay myself in Monero in order to allow Anon (myself) to use the account.

Then, if anyone ever points out that the account is being used to pay loli knee inflation artists, I can act horrified and say that I had no idea that the mysterious Craigslist Anon was using my account for such terrible things!

This strategy is incredibly retarded and probably STILL manages to be illegal despite my best efforts. What does it say about me that this strategy is the best that I can come up with?

Please don't bring up the boating accident, I lost so much...

Not at all. Strike accounts require a lot of personally identifiable information to create, and I don't want to use such an account to pay porn artists. Or pay anyone else for that matter. I value anonymity.

Strike Bill Pay seems aimed at people who hate fiat but don't care about anonymity. Cash is anonymous, so I don't know that I could ever hate fiat.

Shoot, I don't even know that I mind inflation! The only issue I can see is what the US government is using the inflation for!

I'm waiting until I start buying things with it. I want to separate myself from the banking system, but so many things I want to spend my money on require using debit cards.

I'm pretty lost when it comes to what I should do about that, do you have any advice?

Thank you for answering. I'm glad people like you are on Nostr.

Then can't something be ignorant AND based? It seems to me that all you have to do is be authentic and confident in expressing ignorant things. Am I understanding things correctly?

Do you believe that all people who use the word nigger do so because of ignorance of people's backgrounds? Would you be surprised if you encountered someone who continued saying nigger even after learning the relevant people's backgrounds?

Isn't the Tiktok ban just for government institutions or something?

Monero doesn't need a party because it's actually USEFUL!

Just what do you think "based" means exactly? Can you say?

And will you please say what this alleged ignorance is ignorance of?

Why do you want to turn it back into cash? Just buy something with it, like you do with any currency.

That's like giving someone a dog toy for Christmas, and then when they say "I don't have a dog" you respond "then this is your chance to get one!"

It's important not to use the word "disabled." A differently abled person might have a condition like brittle bones that makes them worse at some things, like playing tackle football. But that very same person's unique experiences might also result in them being much better at other things, like getting hurt & dying!

I think you understand my position a lot better. I actually don't like tax funded bailouts, subsidies, or any other form of corporate wellfare either and in the exact same way that I don't like tax funded welfare.

I notice that you keep bringing up what the money is going towards. (In this case, to actors who are not at risk of starving to death.) Do you believe that where the money comes from matters at all? Have you considered whether that money might one day dissappear?

If he is then he's a loser closet pedo and I refuse to acknowledge him. So far all I've seen from him is stuff like "downloading child porn doesn't affect children" or "the only problem with pedophilia is the power difference, which wouldn't exist under Communism."

I don't think he should be allowed into the pedo community until he really commits.

Did I say that I don't believe in paying taxes? If I evade taxes then people will see me as just as much of a moocher as some fatass living off welfare. Also, who thinks tax evasion is immoral? Please tell me it's you, that would be hilarious. The truth is that tax evasion is about as immoral as voluntarily choosing to be a penniless bum who can't pay taxes in the first place!

Why is the idea of private individuals collectively pooling enough resources "highly unlikely" to you? You certainly seem to care a lot about the suffering of underpriveleged individuals. As a member of the private sector, don't you already choose to voluntarily donate some of your income after taxes? And if you didn't have to pay the social security tax, wouldn't you increase the amount that you donate to match?

And you keep talking about the consent of the collective public. Who are those people? Do you believe it's their will to put that much taxpayer money toward welfare? How many of the collective American public do you think would prefer just a little less welfare?

Everybody thinks gnomes are cute and funny until one of them gets ahold of the gnecro-gnomicon.

Reminds me of rdrama.net

Flagging does absolutely nothing. People use it as just a more limited comment section.

I don't care. I will rape your app with my custom theme and then complain to you that it doesn't look right.

I don't see how any of that is incompatible with what I suggested.
