You said the Bitcoin ledger is mutable. It’s not. You said Bitcoin isn’t anonymous and that’s mostly true because it’s pseduo-anonymous which can be fully anonymous if you want it to be.

but it needs to be secure and allow for anonymous transactions, and not allow for tampering with the ledger. Bitcoin has failed on all three accounts.

Lol what? No legitimate bitcoin critics make these claims against Bitcoin. The ledger is immutable and the transactions are pseudo anonymous. In fact your typical bitcoin critic lists these as downsides (“no way to reverse mistakes” and “cannot prevent money laundering”) right after the criticisms about energy consumption.

You legitimately have no idea what you’re talking about.

It’s crazy how quickly people Boomers, managers, executives and capitalists flip flop between “Salary is performance based you don’t have set hours” to “You didn’t work every hour from 9-5”. This hypocritical nonsense only drives more people to take on anti-work perspectives.

If you want me to make executive decisions then pay me like an executive.

It is I! USB-C-MAN! Begone with you foul villain!

if it’s human-viewable it’ll also be computer-viewable

Sort of. If you raise a person to look at thousands pictures of random pixels and say “that’s a fox” or “that’s not a fox” eventually they’ll make up a pattern to say if the random pixels are a fox or not. Meanwhile someone raised normally will take one look and go “that’s just random pixels it’s not a picture of anything”. AI is still in that impressionable stage. So you feed it garbage and it doesn’t know it’s garbage.

Obviously you don’t have a business degree.

The problem compounds as they post more and more content creating a feedback loop of terrible information.

Didn’t all that apply to HRC?

Dude what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you have brain damage? You completely misunderstood my comment, assumed the worst and went right back to accusing me of being a troll.

Your reading comprehension is absolute trash and which would be fine except you have zero self awareness of it and just talk trash immediately.

Be better. But in the mean time go fuck yourself. Jesus Christ what a miserable person you are.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

Fair enough, but it’s just about the only explanation that would make sense. Dude is going to lose the election over this.

Biden’s primary stated reason for defending Israel is a promise to his dying father.

Not his conscience, not the people alive and around him today, not the people who voted for him, not the people who he’s depending on to get re-elected.

Sorry America, an 80 year old white man is making an undemocratic choice due to a promise he made to another old white man. Awesome.

To clarify, in the 2020 primaries you would have voted for Biden over Bernie, Warren, Pete and everybody else who was running?

Dude why are you so hell bent on the 2020 primaries?

Why aren’t you? Would you like to be able to vote for a better candidate than Biden in the presidential general election? I would. That requires examining what happened in the primaries to figure out what can be changed.

But you kept saying that people on Lemmy are okay with killing Palestinians, which I absolutely know isn’t true

Okay let me be absolutely clear here, I know full well that Lemmy and even Reddit leans farther left. I’m not gonna argue with you that I gave you that impression. I’m just going to say here and now, I don’t think the majority of Lemmy are in support of sending weapons to Israel. Hell I can hardly find anyone who admits to voting for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries on here.

There are some and I set about finding those examples and even shared a few with you. If they exist here of all places then I speculate (I’m not trying to make some scientific claim here) there are a good number of them.

Got it. Thanks!

Thank you for answering. It looks like that pool is about the general election. Did you participate in the 2020 primary election?

This whole exchange is based on the assumption I’m a troll who speaks out both sides of my mouth which obviously I can’t disprove so there’s no point in continuing.

I don’t know what I’m expecting I guess. I’m so angry with Biden but at the end of the day I already knew he’s not really trying to support me. Sure he’ll throw my demographic a bone here and there to get some easy votes but that’s about it. My anger is purely that a politician I never wanted is doing something awful that I don’t support. That’s a regular experience.

I’m trying to imagine what it’s like to be very much against shipping weapons to Israel and have voted for the guy in the primaries who went around congress to ship weapons to Israel. I’d be asking myself questions like “Did I vote for someone who supports genocide when there were better options?” and “Is our democracy even functional?” Of course I can’t know with absolute certainty what someone is or isn’t asking themselves in their heads. But I would suspect those kinds of questions would elicit strong words or actions.

And also granted, there have been a lot of both. But I gotta be honest, the people I’m seeing on television do not look like the demographics who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries. Do they to you?

As a complete aside:

against the wishes of the majority of people who voted for him in the 2020 primaries?

IDK “majority.”

Then what the fuck are you so mad at me for? That sounds pretty close to the speculation I shared with you and set you off.

I said people who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries mostly support giving weapons to Israel.

I don’t understand why you decided to be such a dick in this conversation.
