NFTs: Nasty F*cking Things (The Jimquisition)

this is an interesting one, because while it's true that idiot was used as the lower bound of a spurious 19thC spectrum of intellectual disabilities, it's Greek origin was idiotes; a private citizen/common man/non-voter/uneducated. Cretin is an interesting one too. It is used to describe someone with cretinism, a natal defect that results in intellectual disability, caused by a nutrient deficiency. But cretinism is comepletely absent in the developed world, as it is easily treated with dietary supplements for the newborn. As such it doesn't get much spotlight while arguably being far more specific than 'ret*rd', but there isn't really anyone affected by cretinism to bring it up. Difficult. I think the case can be made for not using these words, certainly if they are used with the intent to denigrate and cause harm. Ignorant would be a safer term, and would cover most uses.

Sure, let's double plus unsmart. Or we can choose to avoid words actually used as derogatory in the last century.

Check out popular culture in the 80s, right around when the very notion of trans first blipped onto the scene, and IMMEDIATLEY it's all about tricking cishet men into "having sex with a man." That's it. As always: they think everyone's as obsessed with their dick as they are.

Nice to have a government that believes in regulation back in charge.

Perfection, needed to be said.

The amount if id*ot used in the vid really hurts. Lately, you've put attention to disability issues, so please think about the ableism behind the term, its history and maybe reconsider using it. The seeming lack of intelligence is no shorthand for (willful) ignorance and vileness.

My first instinct on Valve refusing to let people sell NFTs through their games is that they don't want to wind up on the hook for scams. They maybe have some people with a little more foresight who can see the storm coming for like, when the person who gets scammed has more money/lawyers than the average artist who's been stolen from, and don't want to wind up liable for the bubble popping. Also, you look a-ma-zing; haters gonna hate.

Why do so many care? Who is Steph hurting by being who she is?

Jason Youngberg

Non binary is such a simple concept. Why are so many idiots unable to grasp it?

and don't forget epic brick Tim Weeny says NFT-Games are welcome at his store...

The cis are obsessed with The Surgery. I'm too busy having a 3-way with their parents, no time for that.

Leaf

Jeez, watching this just makes me want to pirate more games, even if I don't play them.

Well, good news for you then. The bill congressed passed Saturday night taxes them and crypto! The cryptobros are about to get their tax bill for all the bullshit they've been pulling. Have to de-anonymize their wallets and everything!
