It is just another symptom of the system that makes affordable housing rare, not the root issue.

Why do you think it would not be worse without the UN?

Do you think this is the only thing the UN does? Or that everything else it does does not matter?

Please don’t insult your kitchen sink like that!

By joining hands with Activision Blizzard, we hope to achieve our vision of enabling people to connect and play fabulous gambling games anytime, anywhere, and anyhow they like.

(emphasis mine)

So the CEO of Microsoft obviously has no idea about the difference between gaming and gambling. Fair enough, nobody has to care about every possible hobby. But it is a bit wild that they just took that quote and ran with it and nobody said “Hey, is it ok to slightly edit it so it is less obvious you don’t know jack shit about this topic?”.

The obvious answer, especially for anyone who already believes multiple things can be true at the same time:

“Why not both?”

assertion

That’s a really strange way to spell “blatant lie”.

I think what we need is really leadership to bring people together and to teach both parties not to look at the other side as the enemy.

Looking in from the outside (another country) it seems like republicans are very much acting like the enemy (of the democrats, the people, a livable planet, common sense, …) in every possible way and no amount of leadership or compromise will get them to act in good faith.

The answer is to reject the predefined white lines and just go straight for the rainbow lolly.

Your comment seems needlessly inflammatory, almost aggressive. I did not vote on it at all, but I would not be surprised if the downvotes you received were mostly because of that and not due to disagreement with your points.

That does not answer the original question: What are the advantages of a blockchain in this scenario compared to a traditional central database?

Can you explain why a national ID is a good possible use of blockchain from your point of view?

A national ID is inherently bound to a central authority, the nations government. What are the advantages of a blockchain in this scenario compared to a traditional central database?

Judging by the title this is most likely just a hit piece on any kind of activism the author does not personally agree with. I will not put effort into bypassing a paywall for something like that.

“open mouth” as an open container is already a stretch.

“open mouth all the way down the lungs” as an open container is just bullshit. Rule of Cool definitely does not apply. That is not creative or cool in any way.

“Chrissi fährt einen Oldtimer und hat pompös geheiratet” ist nicht Teil meiner langen Liste an Gründen diese Partei nicht zu wählen.

I agree with the general sentiment that there are limits to what should be possible even with the rule of cool.

In this specific case we don’t even need to go into the territory of undefined stuff that the DM decides on the fly, the rules as written already explicitly say “You create up to 10 gallons of clean water within range in an open container.”

You could always argue that humor does not equal jokes I guess, but these were just my 2 cents

That was exactly my main point; but thanks for sharing your 2 cents anyway, they were still interesting.

I would argue that:

1. This is not actually a joke in the strict sense of the word. There is no punchline. The humor is entirely in the context.

2. Your friend does not understand any of this and is just repeating the “joke” because other people laughed about it at some point. It has nothing to do with the Windows operating system, so if that was part of his explanation he is probably just making shit up to cover his own ignorance.

catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game

How is a game that did not even enter open beta yet relevant to this comunity?
