Comment Re:Economic harship (Score 2, Insightful) 281

Not all abuse is physical, and women have basically the entire government (men with guns) at their disposal to meet out abuse if a relationship turns sour, if they so choose.
I've known men who have had their lives and future prospects ruined by their former mates: family courts are overwhelmingly overseen by female judges, often from (literal) feminist schools of thought. It sometimes results in overly burdensome alimony, child support payments that supports a lavish non-working lifestyle for the former wife (in one case whom rotated through multiple lovers / sugar daddies) and does not go towards raising the children--to the point where the former husband is basically living monastically / on the brink of homelessness. Alimony cannot be discharged under bankruptcy. Primary custody almost always goes towards the woman, regardless of her actual ability to raise a well adjusted child. The justice system as a whole is radically slanted towards favoring the female partner and will default to her story despite any number of insane / impossible tales.

Of course, like the economy and everything else, this has a cooling effect on men's attitudes towards raising a family.

Comment blockchain is a complete fraud (Score 2) 66

There is no such thing as "extra electricity", only wasted electricity. Bitcoin's energy usage produces absolutely nothing positive for society.

Watch this documentary on the subject.

It's funny that they use really messed up, third world countries as some sort of crypto "use case." These are societies that will try anything and have very lax regulation and environmental standards. Bitcoin doesn't solve any of their real problems. It's just more exploitation.

Comment The whole industry is a giant decentralized scam (Score 1) 9

It's about time everybody realize there's very little going on in the crypto industry that's not fraud and grift.

Here is a great documentary explaining why. It's a shame it isn't getting the attention it deserves, but I guess crypto companies are still prime advertisers in mainstream media and nobody wants to bite the hand that feeds.

Comment Re: 8GB is only to claim lower starting price... (Score 1) 465

Apple / Mac is a premium brand (not necessarily a premium product). Practically nobody who is in the market for a Mac really cares about "price starting from", it's either in their budget or it's not. Why pretend that 8gb is enough for much of anything these days--just do not offer configurations which are not reasonable for the day and age.
