You can pay for some things using crypto. For example, VPNs often offer that as a somewhat anonymous payment method. I’m pretty sure 99.9% of transactions are for trading and crime/scams though. The original idea of a decentralized payment system has pretty much faded into the background.

You can check here for lemmy.world, or other instances by using the same syntax.

Calling for OP’s death over that fantasy is way more shitty though. And the moderators left that up.

Crime Scene Cleaner (Der Tatortreiniger) is pretty great.

Earmuffs like these maybe? For people with autism who are sensitive to noise.

Applying that logic, it seems to me like you can’t ever use money for anything. What if that open-source project you donated to goes paid? What if the friendly corner store owner turns his store into a billion dollar chain?

The Japanese got it right: Just number them. First month, second month etc.

A few channels I like that I think should fit. AFAIK none of them use AI whatsoever.

I think you forgot a question.

In the short term, we should probably focus on fixing our problems on earth. Some space research should still be funded, but not as a major priority. Once we finally have our shit together, we can start exploring the stars.

Kia EV3. It’s generally nice and I don’t want a different one. But I’d prefer not to drive a car if that were practical for me right now.

Probably Middle Earth/The Lord of the Rings. (1937-2026)

I really liked how the 48fps version of the Hobbit looked (even though the movies themselves were mediocre).

Not regularly or often, but yes. It’s actually legal from the age of 14 here (under parental supervision and only lower-alcohol stuff like beer). So I’d have a bit here or there for special occasions like New Year’s Eve. From the age of 16 you’re allowed to drink unsupervised. At that point some of my classmates already got drunk regularly. I never liked alcohol (or rather its effects) that much though and to this day I’ve never been drunk. These days I might drink something like a glass of wine every few weeks or so.

There’s a Pokemon fan forum that I originally joined around 2004 I believe. They’ve had a relaunch since then, so my current account is “only” from 2009 though. I’m still ocassionally active on there, along with like 5 other users.

This. Also older people falling for that kind of stuff was pretty much expected, but that came with the hope that those ideas will soon die out along with them. So fascism finding significant support among younger people (even if it’s not even close to the majority) kind of killed that hope.

Moderators do an important unpaid task as a service to the community. They don’t need a philosophy degree to do stuff like removing spam, doxxing or rude comments.

Sometimes there will be moderators who do end up going on a powertrip and ban everyone they don’t like. In those cases it’s probably best to just move on to different communities. If you feel a bit petty and want to complain, you can post it to /c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I would have said around 15-16, but I think it’s also important to note that there are many degrees of trust between blindly trusting everything the government does and becoming some kind of “sovereign citizen”.

I believe the government often doesn’t act in the people’s best interest and that many politicians are fundamentally corrupt. I do believe our institutions mostly manage to uphold our constitution though, and that my country has a functioning democracy. I don’t keep all my money in cash at home, that seems both paranoid and unsafe.

I use Firefox on all platforms.

I honestly don’t remember the exact car model or even the manufacturer but it was nothing fancy. Some smallish car with manual transmission and no parking sensors or cameras. There weren’t any others to choose from. This was in 2012.
