paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Exclusive: Multiple Women Claiming Romantic Relationships With RFK Jr. Threaten His Standing in Trump OrbitEnglish43·6 months agolol. Considering Trump’s past with multiple marriages, rapes, Stormy Daniels, etc, this will only make him and his people think more of RFK.
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'He has made me feel unsafe': Ohio sheriff's Kamala Harris Facebook post draws complaints23·7 months agoOk. It’s not just about self identification, it’s also about exaggeration and intent. The more that word is thrown around, the less it is taken seriously when things like Charlottesville or a white supremacy rally happens, where they are verbally anti-Jewish. I just want the word to be used in a more accurate manner. This man is a racist, he is a fascist, but he’s not necessarily a Nazi.
Anyway, agree to disagree with you all, I’m all done talking about this.
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Biden and Harris call the Israeli strike killing Hezbollah’s Nasrallah a 'measure of justice'459·7 months agoMaybe, but the pager thing was definitely terrorism.
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'He has made me feel unsafe': Ohio sheriff's Kamala Harris Facebook post draws complaints24·7 months agoI said nothing about fairness. I just wish the word were saved for actual nazis
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'He has made me feel unsafe': Ohio sheriff's Kamala Harris Facebook post draws complaints44·7 months agoNo, there are in fact neo-nazis that self identify as nazis
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'He has made me feel unsafe': Ohio sheriff's Kamala Harris Facebook post draws complaints413·7 months agoYes, I also know they held rallies and self identified as nazis
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'He has made me feel unsafe': Ohio sheriff's Kamala Harris Facebook post draws complaints320·7 months agoAwe did I get downvoted? Boohoo.
The word is over used. This man is a racist piece of trash, but not a Nazi. Actual Nazis and White Supremacists exist.
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'He has made me feel unsafe': Ohio sheriff's Kamala Harris Facebook post draws complaints223·7 months agoWhen did he call for violence? It sounded like he just wanted them to shelter illegals.
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'He has made me feel unsafe': Ohio sheriff's Kamala Harris Facebook post draws complaints1149·7 months agoIt would help if you didn’t exaggerate. He has invaded no country and installed no gas chambers. He is a racist fascist at best. That word shouldn’t be thrown around so easily.
paf0@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Justice Department accuses Visa of debit network monopoly that impacts price of 'nearly everything’32·7 months agoI struggle with the idea that “real money”, even as crypto, needs to be centralized and easily tracked. It’s not just about crime, it’s about privacy. The federal reserve doesn’t need to know the movements of every single individual. If I lend you $10, and you don’t pay me back, it’s both embarrassing for me and embarrassing for you, but we’re good friends and this is just between us. Maybe you could provide that sort of anonymity on a relational database, but it doesn’t have to be centralized. The blockchain tech gets faster and faster and not everyone has to be a full node, they could just run it at banks, maybe even with a bridge to other systems.
Anyway, I understand where people are coming from, blockchain was ruined by cryptobros and scammers. It’s not an inherently evil idea, it may be inadequate in speed as compared to Visa, but the idea that I could take the middleman out of any business while still having common listings, and make it a conversation between a supplier and consumer is fundamentally good. We do not need Sabre or Expedia taking 15% of every hotel or airline booking. We do need Uber’s secret pricing on rideshares. Very little value is added by middlemen in those transactions, where, in the end, the reputation of the provider is paramount- and yes, things can be set up so that provider can be vetted by third parties. The promise of blockchain is not NFTs, it’s freedom to do business in a different way, and some of the limiting factors holding it back are the lack of clear regulations for the industry, and a trusted stablecoin network.
paf0@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Justice Department accuses Visa of debit network monopoly that impacts price of 'nearly everything’26·7 months agoIt would be real money if the federal reserve issued it. Cash still exists, is that a feature for criminals or does it benefit the poor and unbanked?
paf0@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Justice Department accuses Visa of debit network monopoly that impacts price of 'nearly everything’46·7 months agoBecause electronic payments that do not require a middleman are inherently better than funneling everything through centralized organizations like Visa. They could make their own dollar based blockchain that has secure and private transactions based on their own stablecoin. It would be the same as a cash payment.
paf0@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Justice Department accuses Visa of debit network monopoly that impacts price of 'nearly everything’326·7 months agoI’d love to see the federal reserve issue a no fee stablecoin, though I wonder if it would be secure in the long term with quantum coming.
paf0@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Pagers explode across Lebanon in attack targeting Hezbollah members112·7 months agoI’m mostly surprised that pagers still exist.
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•ABC Slams Trump’s Latest Conspiracy Theory About Debate Loss25·7 months agoWhat a sore loser. It was such a huge loss that, rather than trying to force a debate to happen on Fox, he’s just going to give up and stop debating all together. He’s such a joke.
paf0@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•First Bitcoin Election of U.S. Between John Deaton versus Elizabeth Warren.23·7 months agoI like Bitcoin but I also like Warren. She doesn’t really understand it but she’s great on so many other issues. I will still vote for Warren.
paf0@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•John McCain’s son decries Trump appearance at Arlington as a ‘violation’ that turned cemetery into campaign backdrop71·7 months agoIt’s only important because he is John McCain’s son. Other people have spoken out and it was less news worthy.
