I appreciate the comparison. I had come to the same basic conclusion years ago, but had a hard time making the argument understandable. That will actually help me in future discussions.

"internet is full of shitbags" isn't on topic. Corporations are full of amoral, cocaine soaked greedy, selfich bastards with absolutely no empathy is.

the corporations are full of shitbags, news at 11

FTFY. Oh, and an offtopic educational link for you grocers and foreigners and others who don't understand English:

I see enough of that shit on Farcebook. Note, I've been staying away from /. for the same reason, the normals have taken over the site.

That's why they changed it from "Unidentified Flying Object" to "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena". The one I saw a half century ago was certainly not a space ship, unless Douglas Adams was right about scale, because it was smaller than a basketball. It was bright and fuzzy, rode next to my car for a couple of miles until I crossed a stream, when it zigged at 45 MPH at a right angle and followed the stream.

I wondered what it was for years before I learned about ball lightning, which is what it had to have been. My guess is ball lightning is a lot more common up there where the fighter jets play.

Funny! Wish I had mod points to award.

The meanings of words changes over time due to their usage. This is true for all living languages. If you want words with static definitions you want a dead language, like latin.

One of these things ended the other is still ongoing.
Perhaps we just need to wait a bit.

Here in reality Nuclear plants are closing because they can't compete with wind and solar on cost.

So all the math in the world is rather pointless when reality shows us that it is wrong.

The issue is simple to solve.

Tax CO2 output by power plants. Heck, just tax heavy metal and radioactive releases. That alone would shutdown coal plants.

This place is now mostly home to right wing kooks and racists, but I repeat myself.

Sad to see what happened to it.

How soon will I read about criminals framing targets to get them hacked hard by the UK Gov.

Yes, people get older and wiser over time.
Spread of information is not always a good thing. See the anti-vaxxers and the damage they are doing to our nation and it's economy.

Or maybe you are just stupid.
The fascists aren't defending free speech, go to their safe spaces like gab and say something they don't like. You get the same outcome.

Reddit is a private service, it is not tax payer funded.
Reddit cannot impact your right to free speech. Start your own forum.

BTC is only useful for large value transactions, which is why companies are major investors. BigCompany can move $80k in a day, and BTC is fine for that. When I'm buying a McCheezy, I'm paying Mr. Visa a small fee and the McCompany pays a small fee and BigCompany collects all that and doesn't have to move much money in the end so BigCompany wins.

YourCryptoChoice is a lot better for human sized transactions, but BigCompany defines the value of BTC, and YourCryptoChoice tends to be valued according to BTC, so in the end BigCompany still wins. In the end, BigCompany holds the cards as usual, but how we play our cards, with cash, credit, or with YourCryptoCoice seems to matter enough that crypto currency isn't going away.
