World Liberty has not officially unveiled its plans for a cryptocurrency, but the white paper reviewed by CoinDesk suggested that the project will eventually sell a governance token called WLFI.

According to the document, the Ethereum-based WLFI token will be non-transferable, meaning it won’t be possible to trade on the blockchain, but holders will be able to use it to vote on changes to World Liberty’s development roadmap.

So you buy it, and then you can’t sell it. A+, because anyone who’s gonna buy this is going to see “Ethereum-based” and assume the opposite. I wonder if this will be the wakeup call 🤔

… Who am I kidding, MAGAts can’t wake up. The shock would kill them, at this point.

People seemed to forget what a ghoul Mitt Romney is too, the instant he denounced Trump that one time. It’s weird, right? And, just because it’s always relevant: Dick Cheney can fuck all the way off.

Do you think it could be because there was some semblance of following the rules when those fuckers were being awful (even if those were rules they changed so recently the ink was still wet, ahem definitionoftorture ahemhem), compared to the outright lawlessness of this lot?

Your taste in games is good, friend! As long as you have fun with what you play, how could it be otherwise?

Fair point. I know I’m not alone in being entirely sick of hearing victims get blamed using words just like this, but you’re right that it’s extremely unlikely he meant it that way.

Castle had a message afterward about domestic violence: “Women need to understand: Don’t accept this kind of behavior. It’s not OK.”

Oh yes, women need to understand this isn’t okay. Fucking Jesus fucking wept, was this dickwipe trying to win Tone-Deaf Asshole Of The Century award?

Edit: okay, I had a visceral reaction to the statement and wasn’t being fair to him in how I read it. I think he chose very poor words, but he’s obviously not going to be eloquent at a time like that.

It’s not an immutable number, populations fluctuate over time.

Not really, since it’s now public knowledge that the entirety of Trump-positive media is bankrolled by the Kremlin.

One is a Russian asset intent on destroying America from within; the other is Kamala Harris. Your eyes must be getting real bad to not see that.

Some Mitt Romney bullshit right there.

busting hundreds for the odd file you can prove they downloaded is expensive and takes forever.

And might well not be legally possible if all you have is an IP address, because lest we forget:

An IP is not an ID

There are alarm clocks that have a lamp built in, and instead of a loud alarm they play things like birdsong and rushing water at increasing volumes while brightening up the lamp to simulate dawn. I much prefer that to a nuclear launch siren, when I have to use an alarm. I don’t like to post shopping links because I’m not an ad machine, but if you search around for “gentle wakeup alarm light” you’ll definitely find some.

Perfectly reasonable statements made by an individual very much in-tune with the video game development community and its members.

No :P

For what?

I think selling such skulls would be highly unethical.

Would you? Why? FWIW I agree that as long as there’s a living person who cares about the fate of the bones then selling them would be unethical, I’m just curious as to your specific reasons - like, what is the hypothetical you’re imagining, behind this statement? Are you contending it would be unethical even if nobody living cares, just due to the provenance? I can see why you would object if the former user of the anatomy believed in the sanctity of remains, for example.

I’m not sure I’d agree, but I’m not sure I’d disagree either. I’d need to think on it more. Right now, I’m leaning towards respecting the wishes of the dead as far as their remains go, because the universe is big and cruel and the only kindnesses are those we make for each other, so why shouldn’t that extend as far as we do?

I think you don’t understand the difference between fundamental rights and regular old rights. A right does not have to be fundamental to be a right.

And, if copyright law were about encouraging creation, it would not restrict the use of other peoples’ work.

Would you do me a favour? Read back over this thread until you realise you just argued creation is “encouraged” by a category of law which only restricts the use of other peoples’ work, including modifying it to create derivative works, and has been used as a club against creation to boot. Consider, how does Nintendo kill Smash tourneys? How many YouTube videos have been wrongly DMCA’d?

That’s crazy! At my job, I just help our users. I don’t have to build (and then maintain) infrastructure with them.
