So you self-published a book. Well done. Join the crowd. The very, very big crowd.

Re:Santa Cruz decriminalizes psychedelic mushrooms on Thursday January 30, 2020 @05:43AM (#22190427)
To quote Gene Hunt from Life on Mars: "Drugs eh, what's the point? They make you talk funny, they make you walk funny, they make you see things that aren't there. My nan got all that for free when she had a stroke."

In all seriousness, I think people who use drugs like this have something missing in their life. Instead of getting hopped up on mushrooms, why not look at your life and work out what you are using mushrooms as a subsitute for.

They both make money from premium memberships that give extra functionality and features. Remember kids, collecting and selling data is never okie dokie.

Interestingly, I used to be irreligious, but about a year and a half ago fell on the path of druidry (druidry.org for reference) through a series of realisations. I've never looked back. I guess I'm a minority of my generation.

Ah Cryptocurrencies. Like trading in bits of paper that say 'IOU some paperclips'.

Seems very unlikely that they will be unplayable. Built Unity games are just .exe files, where flash games are in a format that requires flash to run. In other words, unless the format of standard executable files changes, unity games will still be playable.
I would rather they didn't exist than have them steal my data.
Re:Why do customers love Tesla despite its many mistakes? on Thursday November 07, 2019 @11:21AM (#21474555)
What I dont get is why people love Elon Musk. The man's a cock! He randomly accused someone of being a pedophile just because they said his rediculous submarine thing wouldn't work!
Re:Why gaming is necessary for crypto adoption on Thursday October 17, 2019 @09:39AM (#21281912)
Can we not cross gaming (a good thing) and cryptocurrencies (a very very bad thing)?
And yet games with hundred dollar microtransactions stay up fine. It's almost as if Google turn a blind eye to that which makes them richer. oh wait, that's exactly what it's like. The bastards.
My issue is that many mainstream pop songs around now seems to have meaningless, lazy or silly lyrics.
Lots of people saying about moving away from regular TV to streaming, but it depends how I want to watch. Sometimes I want to select an episode and sit down to watch it properly, which streaming is good for. But sometimes normal TV fulfils my needs to drunkenly half-watch a random Top Gear.

I've never had any issues with social media, and they key is making sure your feeds are pleasent. I make sure that the people I follow on twitter are people I like and people who post nice things, like fan art of franchises I like or jokes. I never follow people who post stuff about politics.
im a millennial who dispises bitcoin because i understand it perfectly. i think anyone who actually understands bitcoin would hate it.
good on twitter. i wouldn't want these nutters on my platform either.
