Meanwhile, the “slippery slope” logical fallacy falls over, down a hill, and dies.

Then starts spinning, creating a perfectly cylindrical hole, and catches fire due to friction, and self cremating.

I believe that a lot of issues lile this would be solved with legalized sex work and the destigmaization of mental health treatments.

I’d rather remain comfortable not buying games from Ubisoft and EA.

I refuse to waste a single dollar on every game from both companies, since we were all bent over and continue to get bent over because they just don’t care about anything but making more money.

A good example from Ubisoft is the handling of the Driver series. They kept on releasing the games in the series in a near unplayable state before when most people had dial up.

A good example with EA was the failed DRM with Spore. They only let you install the game 3 times, which glitched out to the point where people had to turn to piracy (warez and crackz) to play a game they paid for.

We vote with every dollar spent, which gives me hope when people rally around good companies that do the right thing.

You don’t need a custom ROM… That’s like lobotomizing someone because their laugh is annoying.

Search for the “side button” or “side key” to change the options.

That said, the screenshot command is what I remapped it to. This is so I can screenshot on the fly without having to do gang signs on my phone.

No way in hell I’d trust just one backup method for my data.

A 6 TB drive is less than $100 on Amazon and two cloud backups is like $30 extra a year.

This is exactly why I look at companies and corporations with a side-eye of doubt when they claim to have some sort of “do not be evil” motto baked into thier company culture.

It doesn’t matter if a gigantic company has a hundred philanthropy focused CEOs, all ot takes is one greedy or evil one to destroy a company’s dogma

After the investors, managers, and profiteers taste easy money, they will continue to demand to be fed that blood flavored stew.

Once that happens, they either need to be lobotomized or put down for the good of all lest those who are not in the know continue to put money into the frothing imitation it has become.

That is like saying that the screwdriver is the most over-rated tool in the tool box.

Each tool has a place and a usage. AI is just another tool in toolbox that is used to get things done.

Everyone should be using the Facebook addon “Facebook Purity” if they are still using the platform. I’ve been using it for over a decade and I can’t stand using Facebook without it…

Not only does it work better than most adblocks, but you can completely move, remove, and restyle features.

It’s the only way of working with that platform is not harmful to one’s sanity.

It’s too bad it’s not the US mint. It might help inflation.

Where’s Jeeves when we need him? I’d ask him but…

It wouldn’t shock me if they removed ublock origin from the chrome store

Unless it’s something that you are a super uber fan, avoid buying a game before it comes out.

It saves a lot of heartaches and headaches.

Plus, in today’s world… why pre order? It’s not like a game will run out of copies…

That’s the same reason I don’t complain about having to pay taxes for schools, even if I don’t have a child in school right now.

I did telecom work about 5 years ago

It was shocking the amount of area that depends on a low-quality copper wire infrastructure.

I don’t know if that changed in 5 years, but companies are going to have a hard time getting that replaced nationwide

You could always use PayPal as eth or even the PayPal stable coin. So long as you don’t sell it, you can use the coin as you want and you are only taxed via sales tax. You don’t need to convert that way, and that way it stays property.

Though I’ve done tens of thousands via PayPal and ACH’d it into my bank without issue. They don’t care as long as its less than 100k per week, according to customer service. Call them up and confirm, too, if you wish…

Barring that you could use a p2p service like Binance p2p and trade it for cash. Take a trip to Canada to pick up the cash, then Los Vegas and win it big. That’s how an ex in law did it last year. Though he’s kinda nuts, it worked fine.

It doesn’t work that way with PayPal. You receive it and it’s in your account. Then it just works like any other transaction. You can buy stuff with the balance, too. So there isn’t a need to cash it out all at once. I kept like 40k in it for a long time till I sold it all and banked it in less than a day.

Just be sure to use the ACH as the fees are the worst part.

I can also endorse godex.io and Changenow.io as reputable exchanges

That is an awesome list, ZM. I for sure plan on checking out all of them.

Thanks, for the information! 🤩

Legally speaking, yes. Thankfully, it’s treated as selling property in this case. It’s not too bad to deal with.

Though, if you use something like bisq or another p2p exchange, the only persons who will know about the transaction is the seller and the buyer.

$34,000 in stuff from Amazon?

I bet his house looks like an Amazon horder’s house that was in the news a while back.

You could use a site like FixedFloat to slowly convert it to another coin, like Bitcoin. (You just have to use a VPN if you’re in the US)

Then you can use something like Bisq to trade it for cash or card or whatever.

You can also convert it to ETH, and send it to an exchange that doesn’t ask too many questions, like PayPal.

I’ve done this last year with 90k with Bisq and 100k with PayPal and I had zero issues.
