i didn't study it real close, there's a book about it, but all kinds of fud, smears, sock puppets, ultra bad takes, and deceptive proposals. even lawsuits i think. kreg keeps doing the lawsuits thing too, he lost against someone last year. and not to mention the several hard forks and all the victory laps from vitalik and co.
it was bad then and it will be even worse now that the value has gone better than 10x and even more people are trying things. look at drivechains, still big blockers, still craig fricking wright, udi, all the scammers...
there hasn't been a hard fork of bitcoin in over a decade and i suspect there won't be one for at least another decade, the longer it stays the same the more likely it is going to stay the same longer.
they don't seem to understand the F means yield.
i'm sure that's what he meant, yes.
many vegetarians and vegans are such because they believe that they will affect the market and stop the bad practices of the bad farmers of meat and animal products.
let's change up the subjects and see if the logic still makes sense:
butter is partially oxidised milk fat, people are getting less quality oils and vitamins out of their milk by doing this. let's boycott butter so that dairy manufacturers skim less cream off to make butter.
does that sound like it's gonna have much effect, even if it reduces the business of butter churning by 20%?
what this logic forgets is that they are going to look for the cheapest way to retarget their product. avoiding meat products just resulted in a tiny bit more grain production, and then they fed the grain to the cows instead, making the meat product even worse and enabled more feedlot cruelty.
at least, for sure part of the result of the "vote with your dollar" tactic of vegetarians.
if they were more sane, they'd be buying up all the organic meat and milk instead.
the "vote with the dollar" idea is weak because of the complexity of production, and that's also why it was promoted by the owners of food megacorps, who have used these feeble minded people to usher in ever more vicious quality reduction of the product, and increased the cruelty level.
shame he wasn't talking about the leaky gate in the south.
funny how appropriate the old school law word is.
one spends a lot more time thinking about important things when one remembers that politicians and marketers are actors.
up to 5 days. for real.
took 5 seconds to turn them on, just for signing up, but no option to opt out, and 5 days.

as a rule, those who post such formulaic posts repeatedly also like to tag them so it all works out pretty neat.
i dunno why they call it "keto flu" because it more closely resembles how it feels to be withdrawing from codeine. cold, nervous, irritable, sleepless.
when i get a flu i'm lethargic, dopey, irritable, everything smells different, something in my throat, lungs or sinus is out of whack, burning, dry, or irritable, and i get sleepy.
keto flu i can't sleep at all properly.
the thing that keeps this mind in place for me is how sick the high carb, low fat, seed oil and artificial sweeteners diet was making me.
it was causing me to have double vision, chronic, LOUD tinnitiss, and what really sank the ship of fiat food for me was when it started to give me severe dental pain. a half fallen out wisdom tooth went completely apeshit after i ate a pack of chips with maltodextrin in it. and i thought it was the flavoring, so i tried a different flavor (first one was laden with citric acid too). no, it was debilitating as fuck for 2 weeks.
and yeah, money problems led me to seek lower cost nutrition and it turned out that whole milk was the thing. oh, sure, i'd love it to not be UHT, and for it to be actual goat and/or sheep milk, but apparently nobody wants those to drink because SHOCK 6% fat, meanwhile "medium skim" milk is 1%.
it's a real hassle to find the whole fat milk but i have never felt this well in maybe over a decade, and this is the totally nerfed version of the real thing.
imagine how pissed these people would be if they realised their life is miserable, 90% because of the food.
i'm not surprised... balkans people are more practical in general. but the loonies are out there. when i was in Novi Sad i encountered a woman who was involved in this "nikola tesla foundation" which was basically this two bit cult with some dude whose name is nikola tesla. no idea if it was his legit name because i doubt serbians would pick such a name (or bosnians, or croatians) for their child unless they were meaning to torment them. guy was in his late 50s, typical eco cult leader type, and the girl in question was as stiff as the typical cult girl is.
that's the thing that comes to mind when i think of "eco something" anything most of the time. that and rice milk lattes and protesting against people having cows. or something.
hah, i'm not sick, i was just starving myself by being stubborn. but thanks :D
it's just super frustrating in this low fat high seed content food regime that is europe/usa. there was zero grass fed, plain old whole milk in the three times i've gone to the store where i got the 1% "half fat" milk. i mean, hell, 1% is not half fat that's quarter fat in my book, it's what used to be called "skim milk" when i was a kid ffs.
low fat yoghurt and keto, let this be a warning. don't do it.
i could never have imagined a world where wanting to have children and dedicate yourself to doing a good job of it was considered selfish and economically unwise.
fiat leads to extinction, people.
inflation is running hot over there.
your sibling is a bitch.
literally first post i see on my feed just now:
of course you'll see my angry response.
the last 4 days i've been going through starvation because i got 1% fat milk - the only thing i can get at the supermarket nearby that i can walk to with the bitrefill acquired gift cards i got two weeks ago. tried to add the fats back with melted butter into the brew. that's a giant noper.
being essentially starving has made me so fucking annoyed at everything i could scream.
i kinda don't want to go back to the full lactose thing though, i'm getting to like this yoghurt thing, but when there's no fat in it, it's starvation.
and yeah, anyone who can say such a retarded thing as that quote above clearly never suffered from starvation, and i wasn't even in a bad one and man i could punch someone's lights out right now if they tried to start shit.
neeeed calories...
um, yeah, never mind that many points of data that show that the function of the mind can be dramatically impaired by purely physical means.
like, impulse control. try to have that without a frontal lobe. ah.
of course the nervous system will try to repair itself if it's got the resources and code to do it but otherwise, no, when you are physically sick, you can't think properly. only a moron would believe such patent nonsense.
