I don't get how he can be like "my son yeah I want to help him the best he can be my daughter is hosed and I don't care" As described it reads like he just wants to make sure his spouse understands that his number is bigger than hers and doesn't care about anything else in the situation.

I mean, not biologically or anything--they're both biological children of the both of them. The son just belongs to him because he's the father and the kid is a son, and the daughter belongs to the mom because she's a woman and the daughter is a daughter. I mean, sure, he gives a poo poo about his daughter, but only barely.

Now that they both know the amounts, he can't hide it. So either the son resents the daughter for "stealing" his money, or the daughter resents the son for getting more.

Did we start posting about NFTs here yet ? https://www.npr.org/2021/03/05/974089381/whats-an-nft-and-why-are-people-paying-millions-to-buy-them “"The underlying thing that you're buying is code that manifests as images," said Donna Redel, who teaches courses on crypto-digital assets at Fordham Law School. "You're buying a different format of art."” Just.....no. Please no.

In some ways, the NFT makes sense. It’s like the difference between owning the original Van Gogh and owning a print, but of course it’s being abused and it’s totally inflated.

A blockchain to establish provenance is certainly reasonable if we can track a Warhol or Picasso back to the first sale from the artist, but unless the NFT comes with income from the replay of the clip, just, why? A gifs folder covers that and I just can’t see myself respecting the status of someone who says they paid $50k for a clip of a shot. Is this the next frontier of conspicuous consumption?

It's not even that: it's someone claiming they own something and writing a receipt on the ~immutable blockchain~ that shows you own something. The current bitcoin thread in YOSPOS is named "NFTs are just sales receipt fan fiction" because that's all it is. I can issue an NFT right now for the Mona Lisa. You can pay my NFT. Okay. Now that shows that you purchased the "rights" to something that some rear end in a top hat kw0134 sold to you...which is legally nothing. There's no legally recognizable claim to anything here. I can mint NFTs for every single post on this forum and if you're stupid enough to buy them from me, it shows that you are an idiot with too much money.

An international Recorder’s office of art sales would also be great to establish who owns what like having a county recorder helps with records proving title to real estate. If a blockchain gets people excited about it enough to create it, sure, but a central body that has people with enforcement power is really the important part, if the database is distributed or not doesn’t really impact the utility.

Tomfoolery posted:From r/relationships: This whole scenario got me to thinking about the similar investment structure my parents did for me and my 2 older siblings. The way it worked out with us is that it was an education fund, so when we turned 18 we would be given access to our portfolios to withdraw (sell stocks or take whatever dividends had accumulated over the years) to pay tuition for any post-secondary education we did. I never questioned the total amounts because the age differences between us kids was 7 years from eldest to youngest and the middle sibling being about 3.5 years between the two and by the time my brother had access I was still in elementary school and only thought about doing chores to get my allowance each week. My dad works in finance so I'm sure he was the one responsible for where money was getting invested but this scenario just sounds so goddamn toxic from all angles. For some actual BWM content from my self-posting, my brother liquidated his portfolio to go to tradeschool for welding. He withdrew at not quite the end of the first semester, forfeiting any tuition refunds and then bought a brand new VW Golf. He ended up trading this Golf about 3 years later for a 15 year old truck because the Golf "didn't heat up fast enough in the winter" but all things being said he probably lost about 5 or 6k in the transaction because he just wanted rid of the Golf. This would've happened about 12 years ago so fast-forward to about 3 years ago and he buys a brand new Corolla because "gas is expensive, I can't drive my big diesel all the time". What's worse is that in between those 2 big purchases I think he has gone through about 6 used trucks and I don't really know what he does that makes these vehicles die so fast, I think he's just cursed and keeps acquiring lemons
