Isn't bitcoin just another form of fiat currency but with the guarantee there will ever only be the preset supply? Its value is still only what people will pay for it but there is a guarantee that there will never be a bitcoin printer going brrr.

No. Bitcoin has actual practical value. Its ability to be used over the internet means that it can be used to cheaply transfer wealth into and out of restrictive jurisdictions, its ability to be anonymized using mixers make it inherently valuable for illegal acts.

Also super easy to get around cancel culture. Wished I knew how to get into it. :/

No, it's about who can be p*using on the Nazi's grave the longest and you better hope you drank alot yesterday, because whoever stops first no matter the reason is obviously a Nazi sympathizer and a card carrying white supremacist. 🤣

A girl friend once asked why I never ate her out and I told her it was because it was too close to the gas chamber.

When I first saw the picture I assumed it was going to be some weird anti-semitism tool or something.

I can't believe this is not satire. But this is not satire. They're really doing this.

Trying to do nepotism?

Because Russia, that's why.

The bizarre story, with some truly crazy visuals, emerged from Nizhnevartovsk in Western Siberia on Wednesday. Locals were puzzled after they witnessed a brown bear roaming the streets downtown in the morning. The animal was very out of place, given it’s a pretty big city with some 280,000 residents and no forests nearby.
The footage, caught on camera by eyewitnesses, shows a man clearly aware of the bear while anxiously talking to somebody on the phone as it gets ever closer. There’s a dramatic moment when the creature appears to get agitated and rushes at him, launching an intense, if short competition in who can run faster. After quite some chase, the quick-thinking man then makes a successful break by crossing the road and setting up his pursuer to be hit by an oncoming bus.
