  • I’m over the era of ads dominating our lives. I know not everyone can do so, but I’m willing to pay a fair rate for a fair search and AI service. If we have to continue to live in this system then I think we should better enable competition in the tech space and stop some of these mafia business monopoly tactics.

    Some companies are just disgustingly greedy. I pay for a new TV, for example, and that thing is trying to download ads and report my usage non-stop and I paid fairly to own the device. I’d support any political party that actually wants to protect consumers from the nonsense business pull.


  • Putting aside for a second how the US should be dealing with the very real threat of gun violence in this country, I’m always surprised by the misunderstanding of the gravity that carrying a pistol in public has.

    Its not just about keeping the safety on and making sure it doesn’t go off in your pants. When you bring a gun with you, you’re introducing a firearm to a situation where in many case there isnt one. That puts you and everyone else around you at significant risk of being shot now, where again, those odds used to be zero. Not only that, you’re basically steering the bus now on who gets shot if violence should break out, and not everyone is trained to handle an actual confrontation with the appropriate skills.

    That’s what’s so mind boggling. At the end of the day, carrying a weapon just makes you and everyone around you more likely to be shot, and people feel the need to do that as a state senator in Washington? It sounds pointless. I’ll also add that the process of getting a concealed permit is mostly saying you won’t commit a crime, and getting fingerprinted, that’s generally it.


  • Good to see people agree on this. The way that gambling in sports has flourished really targets and is detrimental to young men, IMO. I’ve noticed that younger men tend to feel it’s normal to risk a significant amount of money gambling on almost all sports, to include E-sports, when really it shouldn’t be something they think about constantly.

    I like gambling as much as the next person, and I feel like you should be allowed to if you’re responsible, but I think we shouldn’t be glorifying gambling like it’s just something everyone does. Shame on all these celebrities using their status to trick younger people into gambling.


  • I’d say the purpose of the feature is to do as intended, ensure the documents authenticity and integrity. The mechanism still requires people trust your signature (public key), so you need another strategy to establish that trust. If you wanted to share a confidential document to a person you know on discord, and they already trust your discord profile, you would need to use said profile to get people to trust the key you’re going to use, belongs to and identifies you. This really isn’t different from third party Cas, just a lot of certificates from them are already trusted by default and part of the internet wide key infrastructure.
