Take a lesson from me. Don't post
You too man.
The Dicks were an incredible band and Gary Floyd an inspiration. Uniquely powerful and honest. Requiescat Gary Floyd.

Nah, I remember like 10+ yrs ago they started selling expensive bike parts that had a matte finish as ~sotto voce~

Dog it is insane that you are tripping about leftists being too alienating by not getting protest permits while putting shit like this on your YT channel
Nah it'll be fine, throw rear brakes on it and don't ride hills steeper than 10%👍
Give him and everyone else in prison the mental health support they need, but holy shit. "New York is lonely."
Bro I wish someone had given you a Cannibal Ox album or something, maybe you wouldn't have done the $10 billion fraud
🎯 It's the trajectory of every corporation! Make something, profit from it, but legally firewall yourself from all responsibility and regulation
Boeing a few pressers away from saying "we're just a platform company, we aren't responsible for the individual parts because what we offer is the service of unifying and sourcing the best possible products for our clients"
Forgot about the colonies VCs are already building on this model

Venture Capital’s Fascist State is Scaling
This is normal Austrian School bullshit, right? Just pre-existing Republican strands since Goldwater. Republicans love unregulated profit and lots of them hate the Fed, hate fractional reserve banks, love crypto - de-dollarization as a private profit opportunity. Vance is a VC, not a peacenik
Reading that thread again, the "categorically withhold votes" thing came from Bouie. Sweeney replied about a category of deluded contrarian voters that may not meaningfully exist. Uncommitted voters are making some liberals anxious. But they aren't MAGAcommunist authoritarians or unserious people
Hope you're wrong for all our sakes! This seems like an unkind strawman built from polarized internet arguments with outlier contrarians. Building strawmen is a great way to blow off steam, but why assume leftists will categorically withhold votes? Or whatever it is Sweeney is anxious about.
Armchair psychology is bad but he's the exception that proves the rule. The dude's absolutely squirming & vubrating under the hood
Crypto dudes are posting Cybersyn now. If they're into Allende I guess it was unfair of me to call them doctrinaire ancap Pinochet helicopter guys. Learning & growing ❤️
Funny this DeFi dude used a gif of the socialist Cybersyn project for a new crypto legal strategy. This cohort talks about explaining the blockchain to boomers but underneath, it's strict ancap shit Murray Rothbard wrote before they were born. 100% Pinochet 0% Allende
This sucks ass, time to learn about RSS or some other 2010 type shit ig
Chris Dixon is the Mozart of self-serving, financialized, atomized labor relations. Collective bargaining's great for the boss if you measure it in governance tokens (of which the founders, a16z and their pals lock up 60%). The dude has a vision, even if it sucks!
Thinking about this after reading a Rothbard quote about decentralization. Decentralization barely exists within crypto protocols in practice. Almost invariably a small group can change the code & take your tokens whenever they want. Theory betrayed when the praxis (being unable to fix code) sucks!
Normal people weren't breaking down the door for this! "Yeah, gimme some exposure to the shit that went from $70k to $15k during the pando in my 401k please"
Have you run your own DeFi nodes before? Best way to get transaction data I guess
I'm sorry to hear about the targeting by 4chan, that's awful if true. I don't see anything illegal or unfair being advocated here, though. Just some rhetorical collective self-defense from powerful ethnonationalists who run harassment campaigns against innocent people all the time.
All-purpose statement
There is no system which can mechanically guard against its own undermining by powerful forces seeking to do so
Why are people posting about this? Was there a sudden teen red guard invasion on bsky, or is this the long tail of the insufferable "Biden's polling should be higher because the economy recovered" discourse? Knock it off
I'm solving this by deploying Tornado Posts on the AT protocol. Your DMs go into a pool with other DMs, get mixed together and it spits out total gibberish to your recipient
Whenever the challenge inherent to privacy under decentralization is exposed, it's disregarded as an excuse to not care about marginalized people, so let's be clear: a false sense of security IS a threat to those communities, and Bluesky incorrectly implementing privacy features would be disastrous.
Use them instead of lima beans in a succotash recipe. With or without bacon. You'll add corn, onion, bell pepper, okra and whatever else you want. Add some crushed red pepper or smoked paprika and apple cider vinegar to the usual salt and pepper.
Masterpiece. Would instantly break my mind if encountered in the wild
Assadist crypto guy who thinks decentralized currency will lead to revolution is my vote
Maybe they're worried about starting more bank runs a la FTX and Silvergate. Still wild that Binance gets to nominally continue to exist
