why not? I'm sure you could bolt one onto it...

Huh? The French are even more savage and less refined, as can be seen in their history.

Really? As someone who was born in 93 society has only gone through a massive degradation as I have gotten older.

I don't really think mankind or society has gotten better AT ALL in my lifetime. It turned into a short-term, rent-seeking, low-trust, shit society...

But I am open to hearing the experiences of others my age. Why do you feel so positive?

"Brendan openly signaled that he thought a good subset of his employees did not deserve the same rights as others."

Why is this such a bad thing or such a big deal? We CONSTANTLY allow this to happen to identity groups that we feel its justified against. For example, our society (U.S.) thinks that the identity group of younger workers should not enjoy the same protections against age discrimination as the identity group of older workers.

Another example of this type of discrimination is that its OK to charge someone a 'cover' to enter a bar based on the immutable characteristic of their gender but not the immutable characteristic of their race. Society finds it normal, acceptable, and moral when Men are discriminated against as an identity class but when that same standard is applied to race? Well, we all know how that goes...

How? Just let the lender get screwed, don't lenders have some risk after all?

What's your logic here?

Why not let Binance "get screwed"? How is the lender more "at fault" in your view?

If you are willing to accept an asset as collateral that can be frozen, then the onus is on you as the lender to take some steps to Know who Your possible Customers are.

Funny how the same argument can apply about the customers of Binance - if you are willing to accept to keep your funds in the hands of an unregulated third party which has a disclaimer at the top of the page saying "Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.", then the onus is on you if you lose your money

Sounds fair to you?

Yes, I think if you trust Binance with anything in 2026 then you deserve to lose all your money.

So you want the stablecoin corporations to screw the people that lent the money and you say the people that had money in Binance should lose as well

What kind of backwards Robinhood steal-from-people-to-give-to-Binance are you?

I guess I should be clear that I expect everything related to the blockchain to burn and have no sympathy for any actors.

Wow, that's a strong position against some people for pushing some numbers on the screen

I own no crypto myself and hold no grudge against crypto people

Did they hurt you or something?

"A structured civil society is the nearest we've managed to get to being able to live in relative freedom almost all of the time. It's the least violent, least coerced option we've been able to find."

Can you source these claims?

Civil society only seems to be getting LESS free and MORE violent all of the time. And in America, I constantly have to protect myself against enemies be it scammers or the thug who tried to mug me for my wallet.

> enemies be it scammers or the thug who tried to mug me for my wallet

This is much less frequent than the violent-death rates of pre-civilization groups of humans.

Because Mexico is such a thriving, noble, high-trust empire right?

I'd say don't throw stones if you live in a glass house, don't think Mexico has much of a high horse to ride on lmao.

I dunno why you are getting downvoted for this. Enthusiasm to take orders is often valued far more then pure intellect. Have other people not made this observation or had this experience? Companies want good soldiers who follow orders not free-spirits.

Unwillingness to grind and memorise leetcode is a signal the candidate is not serious about getting the job ... in no way is it a signal of their coding ability

"When you're on your deathbed work won't sit there with you and hold your hand."

Neither will my co-workers lol, but atleast work will buy me a comfier deathbed. Co-workers prob want me to die sooner so I drain less benefits.

Maybe, maybe not. For sure the time and energy spent getting it all, and then realizing you didn't enjoy life as much as you could just to acquire it is the real killer.

Nobody is arguing against just getting more money (well it gets philosophical at least) but how much you lose of your most precious item you have in this world to attain it and if its worth it.

Or to put it in other way, just check by far the biggest regret of many dying people. If you think you can behave the same but somehow avoid ending up in same situation well... good luck I guess, you'll need it.
