Cryptocurrencies Melt Down in a ‘Perfect Storm’ of Fear and Panic

I'm posting it here, but this is a news story that I can very effortlessly believe

Trollheart 05-13-2022 11:58 AM

:laughing:

I always said it was the epitome of trying to make something from nothing, and now it is nothing. Can't say I'm sorry, but then you all know my experiences with cryptocurrency. Guess the first three letters are now the most important.

Hey? Is this one of those "Tales from the Crypt - o -currency?" :rofl:

Schaudenfraude abounds.

What was the wrong? Would it be wrong to huck a Molotov at the Reichstag in 1936 and leave a note saying "You're next, Hitler!"

Trollheart 05-16-2022 01:40 PM

FFS. If I have to explain to you why it's as wrong for anti-abortionists to set fire to a building as it is for those who are pro-abortion, we're in trouble. So just cause the other side does it, that makes it okay, yes?

Frownland 05-16-2022 02:18 PM

Yes.

Do you think the reason it's wrong for an anti-abortionist to set an abortion clinic on fire is that they're violating property rights? Cause I think it's wrong because they are attempting to suppress a woman's right to bodily autonomy. So unless you think these pro-choice activists are also violating a woman's right to an abortion these are in fact two completely different acts, and if Wisconsin Family Action's employees don't feel like coming to work to help set up a Christo-fascist theocracy, or the issue of abortion rights isn't allowed to be forgotten cause these places keep burning, then ****ing good. They shouldn't have been not on fire in the first place.

Our planet is running out of resources and saying that would be considered an understatement now but the quest for modernization and to meet ever-growing human population more resources are needed now but our world has only finite number of reserves. The shortage of precious metals especially those required for making items like computers, cell phones and batteries are already affecting the production lines as well as global supply chains.

News Alert: Iraqi citizen arrested after allegedly plotting to assassinate former President George W. Bush


An Iraqi national living in Columbus, Ohio, was arrested Tuesday and faces federal charges related to an alleged plot to assassinate former President George W. Bush, the Justice Department announced.

I wonder how hard it is to get to a former president.

Trollheart 05-25-2022 11:59 AM

Has a former US prez ever been assassinated? I don't think so, have they?

rubber soul 05-25-2022 01:46 PM

No. The only attempts that I know of was of Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 (and he was again running for President) and of George HW Bush when visiting Iraq (Hussein allegedly had a contract out on him and Clinton bombed Hussein in retaliation).

Trollheart 05-25-2022 05:09 PM

Yeah I thought that. Just not worth it, in political terms. Like taking Thatcher out after she's left Downing Street. A) what does it achieve (if you expect it to get you something)? and B) who cares? They're yesterday's news, soon forgotten and most likely all you'll do is piss off the current holder of the office. Not only that, you may (if you fail to kill them) inadvertently give them free publicity they would never otherwise have had at that stage of their life. Let them fade into obscurity.

The Batlord 05-25-2022 05:24 PM

What if it's a lingering death though?

Trollheart 05-25-2022 08:54 PM

Who's gonna bother with that? Unless you're talking poison, and sit back in safety and watch from a distance, for a lingering death (I mean, I assume you mean like torture?) you'd have to secure them, keep them there, wait for the death to occur. So much hassle. If you're gonna do it, bullet in the head, knife across the throat Jesus I've become a violent little ****er haven't I? :yikes: I blame you guys.
