The Internet becoming algorithm and bot driven was the point of no return I think.
Lmfao thanks for that, I needed that laugh this morning
It wasn't me, it was the ketamine walrus!
With a few million people it doesn't even need to be a specific bank. It would cause an enormous problem. Especially since we're used to assets being digital these days. Request enough actual physical cash and it would rapidly reach a breaking point.
It's also winter and pretty much every facet of our society is designed to prevent it from occuring.
Mass Protests happened during Covid because everyone was at home. You can be sure they won't make that mistake again, no matter the cost.

I understand why he didn't, obviously, but the whole time I watched that happen all I could think was, "PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE"
This is your regularly scheduled reminder that the RNC got hacked in 2016 alongside the DNC, but the material was never released. That event coincides with the pivot Republicans made toward being pro-russia.
It really is the most ancient point of sale methodology I've seen in the last fifteen years or so.
Ah yes, the famous prison yards where I can go participate in the slave auctions and literally purchase people as property. I get your point, but they're really not the same.
The state of the prison system is awful but this comparison really feels like it minimizes the horrors of chattel slavery.
The coolest thing about Space X is that it knocked about 100 million dollars off the cost of putting a satellite in orbit. More, if you consider the possibility of multiple small satellites sharing a launch to a similar orbit.
This enabled many, many small research companies to begin developing satellites for Earth and atmospheric imaging which is advancing our ability to collect precise data about things like greenhouse gas emissions.
Fuck Musk, absolutely, but a lower barrier to entry to putting things in space absolutely has utility.
