yeah and unspeakable cruelty has been committed under the banner of the christian cross for the past two millennia. symbols represent what we make them represent.

the early christian church used the fish for a few hundred years rather than the cross, i assume because making the thing that painfully executed your founder your symbol seems pretty... weird...

Only accidentally. X pilled is from "red pilled" which is a meme reddit incel nazis borrowed from the Matrix, except in their version the evil all powerful computer secretly controlling society is feminism. Parts of the Matrix are arguably a trans allegory, but none of these incel dipshits are smart enough to realize that.

Everything on the internet is so loving stupid.

there's nothing arguable about the matrix being a trans allegory (it is, even as it's also other things)

it's still hilarious that e-nazis proudly proclaim their opposition to the gynocracy in these terms, regardless of whether their appropriation of trans experience was unknowing (it was)

albeit mildly infuriating too

you can still use butt coins to buy unprescribed diy hrt from shady greymarket sites online so it's doing something good in the world
im pretty sure this only works because the feds don't care enough to put in any effort stopping it though, considering how easy they have it tracking down drug sales nowadays

the fish was also a lightly coded recognition symbol when they were still an underground cult.

I meant to post about this last night but lol

quote:

Moody's said that as at 31 March 2022, Coinbase had $6.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, a healthy position relative to its $3.4 billion in long-term debt, including the $2 billion rated senior guaranteed notes (due 2028 and 2031).

so let’s just slice that in half (or more now) lol.

I’m sure Coinbase will survive but they aren’t looking too good right now especially if crypto dips even lower.

one of the greatest tricks of the 2008 crisis was that moodys, s&p, etc. didn't get in a single bit of trouble for putting A ratings on thousands of house of cards bullshit derivative investments that fell apart so fast they didn't even have time to downgrade them

they got in a little bit of trouble, which is why the ratings now have "FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY" in legalese on them

Crypto-themed restaurant stops accepting crypto

The Bored Ape-themed "Bored & Hungry" restaurant in Long Beach, California has stopped accepting crypto payments. Despite excitedly announcing the first ever crypto purchase, made with Apecoin, when the restaurant opened in April, it seems crypto payments haven't been working out for them.
The LA Times reported that the restaurant had stopped accepting crypto at some point in the past, and that an employee described the crypto payment option as both unwieldy and unpopular with customers.

For now, and indefinitely going forward, customers will have to pay for their $13 hamburgers with plain old fiat.

as usual, everything about actually using cryptocurrency is so incredibly poo poo that actually functioning businesses are strongly incentivised to eliminate it where possible

I told him people like him were dooming the planet (everybody clapped) and he was utterly shocked that I knew all about bitcoin but hadn’t been “orange pilled”.

a pretty good youtube channel was trying to popularize the term "orange pill" to refer to people who had seen how great walkable/bikeable/transitable communities could be (orange for the netherlands) and thus could not go back to enjoying cities designed around cars. if it's used for some bitcoin bullshit I'll avoid using it in casual conversation though.

there's nothing to finish. saying "once the lightning network is ready," immediately forks you into a parallel universe where the lightning network is complete and everything is possible, leaving all of us nocoiners behind in the "real" universe
