Yeah but I made a decently fat stack of paper by just doing exactly what goons told me not to.
Blockchain technology has the potential to be a big thing, we just gotta get past the current state of it being gay as fuck, with shit like NFTs and thousand-dollar video cards.

No, it really doesn't have any potential. It's just a worse version of things that already exist and the only people who care are the ones who are trying to use it to get rich off of even dumber people buying in far too late.

I only disagree on one thing, which is that the people getting left with the bag will be the ones still using it even if it's not worth a whole lot. So yes it's a ponzi scheme, but it's a fascinatingly good one because the lowest level of the pyramid is people constantly reinvesting to buy drugs or launder money. A scheme like that has more legs than dogecoin or any of the other shittier altcoins do.

What? No it isn't. Is there really a better way out there to uniquely commodify a piece of information, like a vote?

popped back in the covid thread to try to dig up some lulz. It's honestly pretty boring, just the same 5-6 goons posting "hellworld lol" "covid is over lol" "america sucks lol" at each other.
Somebody please help that dog though.

I appreciate the humor in them discussing how prepped they are to fight da covid, and then in the same breath are talking about how they have shingles now (it's a vaccine side effect due to lowered immune response).

Elon Musk has purchased twitter. Even though the status of the deal is currently akin to that of when a movie character announces "I just bought that company," the internet is already humming excitedly. That includes our friends over at Something Awful Dot Com!
MEIN RAVEN looks to the skies and screams a single, sweeping curse into the godless void. After a brief pause, he screams another more specific curse, an awkward tremor in his voice.
EorayMel fidgets with his hands, stammering a concerned question about the future of the internet.
He adds a very justified aside, regarding one of the many reasons why C-SPAM is so unreadable.
Bad Purchase fears that the Weimar Republic may soon end, for Hitler has been released from prison.
As does Tim Whatley.
Funny that Zil brings this up. During one of Lowtax's streams in the final month of his life, he mentioned that he used his Twitter account as an address book of celebrities he knew. He didn't keep those contacts saved anywhere else, so getting banned off Twitter really fucked him over.
A goon with an extremely British name immediately wishes a violent death upon Elon Musk.
EorayMel just has one take after another. He's probably right, though. Somewhere, a goon dangles from his ceiling, his smartphone face-up on the floor beneath his feet. The Awful app is open, with a newly-typed post that will never be seen on Something Awful, because he tapped the Post button and kicked out the stool without answering "Yes" to the "Does this post contribute to the conversation in any meaningful way?" dialog.
You Are A Elf has all manner of ideas about what $44 billion could be better spent on, much like that one goon awhile back who bragged about inheriting a bunch of money that he was going to use to buy up white working-class families' housing and evict those fucking chuds.
Goddamn people keep going back to this.
pro starcraft loser knows the cost of every capital ship in the U.S. Navy, though I imagine it might cost a little bit to operate and maintain those things, too. Well, in real life at least. In Starcraft you just need to have enough pylons.
No comment.
Y'know, this would actually be pretty funny.

Elon has also purchased TOTSE, PoE, and rotten.com for a cool $14.88

Stuff like this kind of makes me wish it was more well known just how fucking embarrassing SA has become, like people make fun of the likes of Tumblr, Resetera and half of Twitter but SA flies under the radar, it could use a few reseteratakes type accounts.The tabletop/board game thread is once again imploding after the made a 60 old negress with an axe to grind Idiot King powers because nothing she does can be questioned and everyone loves being told off by a fat black woman.
The cause? No, not sexism or big titted plastic miniatures in kickstarted board game crap but daring to say anything positive about Kickstarter because KS is hitler incarnate for getting involved in NFTs/crypto who the fuck knows even:

Maybe PerniciousKid's communist bona fides will act as a shield against being probated or banned. Maybe not!
Just a reminder that there isn't a single fucking thread that cannot be shat up by goons pearl clutching over politics and pretending they cannot find an ignore button on posters they don't like (because it's fun to get angry and post about how like totally not angry they are no caps no punctuation). Go back to 2004 and show a goon the posts these fags call trolling and get back to me. Just embarrassing.
The Musk buying Twitter fallout places me in a bind because I hate Musk and find everything about him horribly cringe and desperate, but trust goons to immediately jump to the stupidest takes on this:
The only thing they have is that not enough people will be banned and also real adults like me here in my striped socks, sailor moon outfit and dried cum encrusted bed understand that the very concept of free speech is an intrinsically bad thing in and of itself because the Nazi mind virus will inevitably spread and infect the weak minded if we don't have a stalwart vanguard of MTF programmers who have mental breakdowns from seeing people outside without a mask controlling the flow of information and discourse on the internet.

mod (with an only trust your fists gang tag lmao of course with these faggots) thinks jokes are mean 
this is also fun:
no posts in fluffdaddy's posting ghetto in over two weeks. the most active thread is about "disability." Mods wring hands about having "too many forums" when anyone requests something interesting but if you dare suggest the minority report is closed it's an automatic probe.
