Blockchain (simplified) is a giant excel spreadsheet that you can never edit, only add to. I struggle to think of any applications that is a benefit for, and even then append only databases would already do it better.

One of the benefits is supposed to be decentralization, but people tout that as a benefit for things like house deeds, or identification, or whatever. Imagine how massive an append only excel file of every house with every owner change etc etc included in it would be. Then we once again only have the people who can afford to store that much data storing it, and we are back to where we are now.

It doesn’t really solve any problems, it just is a worse version of what already exists.

I feel like palm pilots are super impressive for the time period they existed in. They were so futuristic! Basically the 1998 smartphone

I wouldn’t even say that much. They bought out x.com as a competitor and threw their garbage code in the trash

Confinity already had payments between palm pilots back in fucking 1998

The rate of increase is mind blowing. I used to rent a 1br luxury apartment for $1100 back in 2016.

If you saw it before 2020 then yes it was the real one. They replaced it with a replica when they reopened post COVID

Universal actually treats a lot of their props and cars like shit, but I didn’t know that when I was visiting lol. They are the ones that destroyed the fiberglass car

My boyfriend is obsessed with back to the future and we have seen 4/7 screen used deloreans.

Peterson museum in LA has a restored one on display, they also have a gold delorean and a few of the new concept designs.

We got to see the one in Universal Orlando that was just chilling out in the middle of the sidewalk for a long time, but that one has disappeared since COVID. We didn’t even know this was a screen used one, we figured it was a replica cause people were walking up and touching it and stuff. Wild. Probably why it’s gone now, too many people fucked with it and it has to be restored. It sat out in the Florida humid ass weather for years though and no rust.

Unfortunately 2 are in Japan in private collections, but I don’t think anyone knows who owns them. 2 we saw were in a private collection, but the owners gave us a tour and we even got to sit in one of them (the other is the one they destroyed with the train). And the fiberglass one from 2 was destroyed so we will never see it :(

You can also not pay for it and get it with ReVanced.

ReVanced also auto skips ad reads in the video itself

It’s well documented it veterinary literature, you can believe the studies or not 🤷‍♀️. It’s not like it kills your cat instantly, you just deal with diabetes kidney or urinary issues in the future. Not sure why someone would not try to prevent that.

So far the only actual study we have on this says it’s not a real thing. Sure, some cats have different preferences but it’s not like you are torturing your cat with normal bowls and need to run out and buy special ones.

If you’re feeding your cat an infinite supply of dry food without a feeding schedule you have bigger things to be concerned about than whisker fatigue.

Idk why anyone is surprised Amazon is deceitful lmao

Bots are running wild thanks to the api changes and the loss of pushift. It’s a feature, not a bug.

The videos sub is text posts only now. Must be text posts describing videos lmao

I miss reading all the salty comments by users who contribute nothing but are mad their mindless scrolling was impacted

This is my #1 also. So many people “just asking questions”

I also hate the circlejerk of people going “I cannot possibly comprehend being gay/trans/disabled/whatever but I let them do what they want!” They’re not aliens, you can listen to them explain what they are going through and have empathy. It’s not very complicated.

The change is real, there’s a bunch of news articles about it. I still wouldn’t click the link though and go to the website manually to change it

Yeah they could be lying to the EEOC to cover up discrimination in their hiring process. So it’s up to OP to decide if that is what might be going on.

I would love to get all these magical free perks people ITT seem to think we are getting for being native. Where do I sign up? Last time I checked the majority of people on reservations don’t even get clean water

Yup, every sub that participated or said anything against reddit’s choices is going to have their mods removed. Even if you went public when reddit asked you to.

They will not risk this again closer to the IPO

Record droughts

The end of the entire human race due to climate change

Before that, climate change destroying your house or access to food

I was hired onto a project like this. Had to sign an NDA and we were completely separate from the rest of the company, slack email etc. People weren’t allowed to interact with us unless they signed the NDA also, most of the company didn’t even know we existed.

We were actually architecting an alternative to something a third party was providing internally, and had to be super secret cause of the contract.

So I guess it depends how much you like your job. The market sucks right now and there’s no guarantee you won’t leave and be laid off from your new job elsewhere. I would stick around cause it’s less effort til I find out what the deal is. It’s not like they are gonna be able to cut over the entire backend suddenly if that’s what they are doing. But be saving money in the meantime.
