The Texas father who fatally shot his daughter after an argument about President Trump

What’s up with the headline?

Yeah but the miners will not all quit all of a sudden. If many quit but there are still enough left, the remainder will enjoy higher profits since they’ll crack more blocks (iirc miners compete for blocks)

In traditional markets, I’m denied entry because I don’t have a prescription my doctor refuses to give to me. So idk what the benefit of traditional markets is supposed to be to anyone in the same situation.

And once you find a good seller, you can stick to them and spread the word. Obviously there are risks of scams and fake product, but this is the fault of the government barriers to traditional markets rather cryptocurrencies.

Hell, even if it wasn’t the government’s fault, it would be nature of black markets, rather than crypto currencies (the latter which is just a tool).

People on this post act if crime and black markets were invented by the schmeing Mr. John Bitcoin or something.

Bitcoin has an inbuilt mechanism to make it exponentially harder to mine. That means the labor value to mine it will keep growing and that sets an ever increasing minimum price floor on the currency.

Is this a sensible way of making a currency? Hell no. Does this mean that bitcoin invesment as an asset will continue to endure for more years? Yes.

The only thing that could feasibly crash the bitcoin market is if most bitcoin users and miners move to a more sensible crypto that is designed for transactions and not investment.

most pills sold on the dark web are not genuine pharmaceuticals

This appears to be a sweeping statement that would be very hard to confirm or deny.

The danger is what’s inside

Yeah this is what you have to deal with when governments prioritise profits over the people’s health. It’s just a matter of risk management.

1. This is a great and important use case. Fuck sanctions
2. As yes, fuck everyone (like me) that isn’t allowed to get medicine from above board channels (this 1000 times more common than silly things like paying for hitmen or organs. If you are buying hitmen or organs on the Internet 99% of the time it is fake)

it is perfectly possible for the UK to increase its defence capabilities, while also refraining from attacks upon the Middle East

This is for a hypothetical UK that has divested from the imperial system in west asia, a hypothetical UK that does not exist.

I think that’s a separate issue from the UK and its allies spending more on defence in order to protect themselves from Russia, though.

It very much isn’t. You don’t have 2 seperate militaries, one for defense against Russia and one for use against everyone else.

In any case I don’t think the UK is planning new military action in the Middle East.

You’re basing this on what? And who said that the UK’s future aggression will only be limited to the middle east?

Starmer recently criticised Israel for its conduct in Gaza.

Congratulations for the mildly worded letter while still providing military parts and daily reconossaince missions I guess.

You seem to suggest that a powerful military is a good thing then.

It is a good thing if only it is used for defensive purposes. Other than WW2, the UK has practically never seen a defensive war. However, I am using your logic here. You want a powerful military for “national security”. I am telling you that your politicians are not creating a powerful military.

I don’t believe in the UK harming anybody in the Middle East.

Then you are not keeping up with the news. The UK has provided a lot of arms to the occupation in Palestine and runs daily reconnaissance missions for them. Furthermore, the UK has been a willing partner of America in its war on terror.

This is cope. It is precisely because the British people keep falling for idiotic nationalistic cope that their nation has become so catastrophically de-inudstrialised and impoverished.

Your politicians gut everything resembling a healthcare system, education system, energy infrastructure or useful industry, things that would actually allow you to create a healthy, innovative and powerful military. Then they throw money at consultants and contractors in the PMC sector and trick you into believing that you are strengthening your national security.

No, the only thing you are doing is subsidising the lifestyle of a few scammers. In exchange, you will get a small amount of overbudget and late weapons that will be shipped off to kill people in the middle East.

Defending the UK

From what? Affordable living costs and welfare? Middle Eastern people being alive?
