I like the option to be my own bank. It's a little insane for everyone to just hand all power over to The Citadel just because it's easier.

And that’s what’s cool. You can participate at L1 if you want, but transactions will be expensive and you’ll be responsible for your own security guards. If you want to handle others’ money though, then there should be some standards.

Is it so surprising in light of the absolute pummeling brick and mortar got during covid?

Such fixes are obvious, but they're "racist", and as such won't be resolved in a sane manner.

We've got molten lava in our mouths that we can neither spit nor swallow.

Unbelievably racist comment.

Really? I don't feel the racism in this comment. I believe he's accurately pointing a white privilege he has, which is kind of a thing anti-racists do.

Or us that inacurate because it's more of a class privilege than racial privilege?

Not at all. I'm just saying this is something I can get away with easily, and that if I was a black guy wearing the same hoodie and jeans, I have to believe it would probably be harder. Structure supports me even though I didn't do anything for it. The definition of white privilege.

I assume "smarter" is using the super crude definition "better grades"?

2 more weeks to flatten the curve

nobody is enjoying this but:

- pseudo-science is not gonna help.

- we could be in a better place if we had the capacity to act as a group.

Where I live this was managed perhaps better than other places, not as well as it could have been.

So what do you, in your western culture, do with meat?

Buy Now Pay Later is yet another pink tax

I hope every last person here who thinks the vaccines are amazing gets themselves and their kids shots / boosters!

I don't think I'm getting a booster. I could be swayed one way or the other depending on new information that comes out. I already had Moderna at the start of the year which has the higher load among the vaccines and I'm not really at risk. I'd be interested to know the risk of myocarditis from a booster versus being exposed to the real virus once fully vaccinated.

Children can't get boosters, what are you talking about? Paul Offit does not think anyone under 30 should. I suppose they could if they have a hardly functioning immune system, but a third dose might not work either.

Hahaha, children can't get boosters yet. You do realize there always someone next to blame when the magical solution magically doesn’t work, right?

They will once their vaxx passes are revoked.
