I’m still so pissed that The Peripheral was canncelled.

DIE ALREADY!!

I hate to tell your this but his mother lived to 106…

We don’t talk about Fight Club…

The French will never agree.

Their stance has always been, if France is threatened we will use every weapon in our arsenal.

They do not have end the world stocks of nukes like the US or Russia so their attitude is, “Fuck with us and we will end you.”

Not a surprise, the good old days for each person is pretty much always when they had the most autonomy and the least responsibility.

That has been true of every decide for at least a century.

Can I assume you were a teenager/early 20s in the 90s?

Yes. And 75% of car driver believe they are above average as well…

Capitalism also needs a functioning environment to continue…

The author, James Clavell wrote 6 novels set in Asia that span 400-ish years. Shogun - 1600 to the last set in the 1990s.

Shogun is one of the best but they are all worth a read.

My rating of the Series.

Shogun & Noble House tied for first. (both were made into mini-series in the 80s)

Tai-Pan

Gai-Jin

King Rat (his first novel, based on personal experence in WW2)

Whirlwind

Well, at least the front hasn’t fallen off.

Exactly. In the UK version he was not an angry, shouty cunt. That was added for the US show.

It’s as if people think The Rock was actually the heel he played in WWE or Anthony Hopkins is actually a cannibal who kills and eats people.

Give them advice about how to do it to someone else.

The vast majority of people (i include myself in this) will fuck it up in some way and end up harming themselves. If you seek to destroy someone’s life and you don’t actually end it, you leave behind someone who has nothing left to lose and is highly motivated to find who is responsible.

If you destroy someone’s life they may end yours.

This isn’t a science post, it’s a political agenda post.

It must be awful to live in a place where scientific study into human well being is political.

It sounds like some undeveloped country where you can’t drink the tap water.

you eat dog shit?

You don’t notice when you step in dog shit?

No but only because I stopped using google search years ago.

It has been getting worse for the last decade.

It can never be a currency as the values fluctuate so wildly it is useless as one.

you seem to think about cryptocurrencies like gold as well; an investment.

because that is what it actually is used for.

My question was about the future of them as a normal currency

That is dead and burred.

The one thing a currency needs is a relatively stable value, otherwise it is useless as a medium of exchange…ie: money.

While crypto is as stable as that bear that ate a couple of kg of cocaine.

I think of it as a ponzi scheme because that us what it has become.

Still worthy of pity

Not from me. They are adults, they made their bed. Their children are the real victims.
