Blockchain (simplified) is a giant excel spreadsheet that you can never edit, only add to. I struggle to think of any applications that is a benefit for, and even then append only databases would already do it better.

One of the benefits is supposed to be decentralization, but people tout that as a benefit for things like house deeds, or identification, or whatever. Imagine how massive an append only excel file of every house with every owner change etc etc included in it would be. Then we once again only have the people who can afford to store that much data storing it, and we are back to where we are now.

It doesn’t really solve any problems, it just is a worse version of what already exists.

I can’t wait for the FNAF movie even though I have never played the games. Animatronics are creepy as hell and there needs to be a plethora of animatronic horror movies

Perfect is the enemy of good. Trust me, I am very irritated by the complete lack of giving a fuck shown by billionaires and large companies.

But I also know that when it comes down to it the only thing they actually care about is money. And I am one of the people that provides them with that money by choosing to buy their products. Sure, it will take a significant amount of us to make a noticable impact but vegan alternatives have been becoming much more popular and prevalent because there is increasing demand. It’s happening. The dairy industry obviously feels threatened with their stupid wood milk campaign and desperate attempts to ban anyone else from using the word milk.

That is something I actually have control over. I can vote accordingly to try to stop rich assholes from destroying the earth, but I don’t control it alone. At least when the earth dies I can say I tried.

The best protest would be a blank canvas.

I don’t use neopets anymore but I have been following the neopets saga. I will believe it when I see it, they promised this with the site redesign back when flash died, and most of the original games are still not playable years later.

They might just have the wrong insurance info or wrong birthday or something when they did the billing. It should be $0

What year was it done? Up until recently it was federally required for all insurance to cover COVID tests, including rapid tests with NO copay.

In California insurance is still required to cover all COVID testing with no copay. But this doesn’t apply if it is a private plan through your job for example.

Back in 2021 I had a urgent care clinic pull this shit, fighting to get me to pay $300 for a test and refusing me to give an itemized bill. That did not end well for them after I called my insurance and told them about that. Ended up paying them $0 and my insurance paid them like $7 cause it was a rapid test. I had anthem back when that happened.

It’s well documented it veterinary literature, you can believe the studies or not 🤷‍♀️. It’s not like it kills your cat instantly, you just deal with diabetes kidney or urinary issues in the future. Not sure why someone would not try to prevent that.

So far the only actual study we have on this says it’s not a real thing. Sure, some cats have different preferences but it’s not like you are torturing your cat with normal bowls and need to run out and buy special ones.

If you’re feeding your cat an infinite supply of dry food without a feeding schedule you have bigger things to be concerned about than whisker fatigue.

Remember the magic meatball episode of Rocko’s modern life?

Idk why anyone is surprised Amazon is deceitful lmao

I deleted all my comments and posts but kept my account in case reddit undeletes anything. Also to keep my saved stuff and messages. I don’t feel like it matters if I keep my account or not since I’m not using the site anymore

They were pro hydrogen but I think they realized that ship has sailed and EVs are here to stay for now

You downplayed the current laws against LGBT+ people and climate change, so I’m not sure why you are surprised you were downvoted. That’s misinformation not “just your opinion man”

Bots are running wild thanks to the api changes and the loss of pushift. It’s a feature, not a bug.

This is my #1 also. So many people “just asking questions”

I also hate the circlejerk of people going “I cannot possibly comprehend being gay/trans/disabled/whatever but I let them do what they want!” They’re not aliens, you can listen to them explain what they are going through and have empathy. It’s not very complicated.

If they must stop why won’t anyone do anything to stop them?

I’m not sure if it’s just cause I have no account now, but if this is what they are pushing on new people then yikes. I knew the admins leaned right wing (ie forcing kotakuinaction to come back) but this is worse than I thought. I must have blocked a lot of it a while ago

There’s a bunch of transphobic and racist shit on the front page now, spez is probably loving it just like Elon
