I was a couple months off, but I wanted to let you know that bitcoin hit a new all time high.

That’s awesome. I’ve heard of some cities doing that, nice to see an example.

I had a shower thought the other day; what would the world be like if advertising didn’t exist?

No billboards or giant signs everywhere blocking our views. Content would be better because it wouldn’t be interrupted by commercials. But think of how much money is spent on advertising? Companies would have to invest that into other areas to be successful instead, such as cheaper and/or better quality products, or higher wages for their workers. Companies would have to work really hard to get a good reputation so their products could spread through word of mouth instead of using advertising to invade everyone’s space.

I’m sure there’s some downsides, but it sounds kind of amazing.

Wait really? What’s the catch?

Aren’t most bees female though?

Girl scout cookies

Or the cumbox. Or that kid who broke his arms. Or that dog, Colby I think? No wonder AI always wants to exterminate humanity in sci-fi.

AAA devs are spending too much money making games people don’t like.

Are you talking about the soldier or the redditor?

I wonder what it would be like if passing the Bar was required to be a police officer. There would be way less police officers, that’s for sure.

I don’t think the technology is there yet. As long as people need to wear big bulky goggles and headsets it’s not going to take off. Make something that’s about as cumbersome as sunglasses and less than $1000 and there might be mass adoption.

What is that? I thought it was just me

Simba never told them what his problems were.

What are the symptoms if one of these bites a woman?

I’d love to see an operating fusion reactor in my lifetime. Real sci-fi technology

Don’t be racist, plenty of white people care.

Is this your first day on the internet or something

That’s just a different kind of luck

Gonna try this out

Right now I’m up over 400% on my bitcoin, it’s by far my best performing investment. Come back to this comment in 6 months and see where it’s at.
