Is this akin to Chris Hanson himself pretending to be a young girl to catch predators online? Like frosty had a lot of customers, but all the work to keep it going every day was done by the cops investigating him.

Suarez further said he wants the city to be able to hold bitcoin on its balance sheet, which is not currently allowed in the state of Florida.

“If we would’ve been able to hold it from the moment that I put the resolution on the agenda, it’d be up by 30 or 40 percent, so I would have looked like a genius back then,” Suarez said.

you go to buy new armor. it costs more money than you've ever seen in your life. the lord of the manor pays for it because you're basically his property anyway, one step above peasant. the armor takes a year of real time to forge. it is unbelievably heavy and incredibly hot. you die from the black death and complications due to bloodletting.
