Also depends on your definition of privacy. Some people confuse privacy (not seeing what you do) with anonimity (not knowing who you are).

Public blockchains (like BTC) have zero privacy, as everyone sees the transactions and balances, meanwhile private ones (like XMR) supposedly avoid anyone but two people in a transaction to know that transaction happened, or even to know each other’s balance.

In both cases, I would say you are as anonymous as your way to turn the coin from/into fiat is (P2P, KYC or non-KYC platforms, etc.).

Like with AI, I like crypto as a concept, but the practice… (specially the resources both consume for what little benefit they end up having)

Nah, infighting always works best.

Yes, Handler.

Now I’m interested because I, in fact, didn’t.

You may like the Mechsploitation genre, and specifically “Warhound” by Kallidora Rho. It’s less about being one with the mecha, and more about the dehumanization, loss of self, and abuse, though.

As someone about to get into uni, knowing my capabilities but being tired of it, it is… former gifted child to burned out tgirl to puppygirl who achieved a lot but who is finally allowed to have some of the burden of life lifted from her.

To have the burden of human expectations lifted, to have someone else who knows better, who can tell me what to do at every step, someone who I feel good obeying, someone who allows me to be less instead of having to keep being more and more…

As grim as it is, no wonder I ended up getting into the Mechsploitation genre lol

Thank you!

Rightttt…

Me in Europe and my gfs in Brazil and the US :(

Well, for ancoms there supposedly is the red and black flag or star, but it’s not like I have really looked too much into it

for a long time I thought it was “no rules”, not “no rulers”, so I can see where my initial misinterpretation came from.

I already understand it a bit better, but I should learn more anyways.

Well, fuck me then because all I have studied has been software related and I was planning getting to uni to see if getting a higher title helped find a job… if I wanted to change career it would take me at least another two years living with my progenitors and I can’t fucking take that anymore.

If you are gonna deliberately disregard OP’s specific request just to give your own answer, you’d better save time saying nothing.

“You are wrong little guy”

Imagine asking for apples and someone telling you that you are wronf and giving pears saying they are better…

And where will that end up? Oh, in one of the two biggest parties getting the votes anyways because it’s where most people go to, but with a worse candidate.

But go on about how it is more useful to be irrelevant and correct than relevant and half correct.

Honestly, the thing I don’t see going anywhere is this conversation. You aren’t going to change my mind and I’m not gonna change yours. If you think it’s more useful to start from zero, that’s your belief, I got mine. Hope you have a great day.

Shit, there goes another alternative to my VISA card T-T

No offense, you give the same vibes as anarchists that say it is better to not vote at all to show they are against the state.

What would be your plan, Mamdani making a party of his own and getting nowhere because he has no platform to stand on, allowing a Republican or an average Democrat to get in power instead?

In an ideal world, he wouldn’t need to use Democrat’s party as a platform. But we aren’t in an ideal world, so if you want change, you need an existant platform to stand on.

If I get my female progenitor’s genes it’s gonna be a back issue

Oh, people do have a choice. Buy stuff or be misreable and/or die.

Same as Mamdani, even if his choices’ consequences are less extreme for him (get a platform big enough to make change even if not the ideal one, or fall into irrelevance having achieved nothing).

Purists like you are the resson the left is so divided. Nothing like waiting for the (nonexistant) perfect candidate while letting psss the (existing) unperfect candidates.

Satire is dead. Without an “/s”, these days shit is taken at face value.
