still the best OVA of all time (change my mind)
what if joker kills joker?
oof, yeah that’s me & Spotify rn. each time they send me a marketing email i reply to it asking them not to send me marketing materials and i CC all the addresses which would reach a human (support@, help@, marketing@, abuse@, and if i’m feeling pissy then legal@).
and each time i get a human reply instructing me how to unsubscribe, and sometimes we’ll back-and-forth a bit about how that’s not the point. Spotify’s special: most companies will just unsubscribe you and get it over with if you ask, but not Spotify. i don’t really enjoy doing any of this but like you said: some of us have weird obsessions.
i’m betting 80% odds this is from Bakemonogatari.
are you describing the history of an actual town somewhere? or am i just reading someone’s extremely vivid daydream?
is this the thread you’re talking about? https://www.fark.com/comments/45086/NEWS-FLASH-PLANES-CRASH-INTO-WORLD-TRADE-CENTER-PENTAGON-Our-link-to-CNN-works-thanks-Metafilter-We-have-news-pics-in-comments-section-if-you-have-any-post-it-there
some unexpectedly prescient comments in there
I agree with Mme.Mersault, but I’m not sure we’ll nuke the right people. :/ There’s no such thing as too much force.
i’m not pitching. if you need to launder money or evade sanctions, then use Bitcoin (with all the caveats). if not, then don’t.
the amount of (well-deserved) hate against cryptocurrency interacts with Poe’s law in a way that makes it difficult for someone who’s not actively involved in that area (me) to track reality. like, i see this meme and think, “oh, is it finally, actually dead?” and then check and it’s not. but other people don’t check, and then every family reunion i have to deal with a dozen relatives asking “is (colin’s misguided libertarian friend) ok? i heard crypto crashed.” he’s not ok – he’s a misguided libertarian – but the premise of the questions are just false, and it’s not hard to trace where they formed the beliefs that would have them ask it.
i won’t stop anyone from shitting on crypto, but i do hope the “haha anon lost all his shitty crypto ‘’’investment’’’” memes are understood to be memes above all else.
Bitcoin’s sitting at $25000. that’s up a bit from before the pandemic, 3x the March 2020 low (when everything crashed), and half its all time high. same story with the second most used cryptocurrency. sure, that’s bumpy, but nobody literally goes from millionaire to McDonalds for parking their $ in the things you or i are likely to have heard of before. it’s the person who hears some random crypto name on Twitter (or from Elen Musk) and YOLOs in on some thing which didn’t exist a year ago specifically because they’re trying to catch a hype wave.
idk maybe everyone knows that. i just get annoyed every time a “crypto crash” story breaks the mainstream news and i check the price and it’s like “none of the names i actually recognize here are doing worse than the last time you ran an article about them”.
feel free to crosspost it. if you’re using Lemmy through the browser there’s an icon with two squares at the top of this post to do it in a way that lets the Seinfeld people know it was crossposted from here, in case they’re hungry for more memes.
Acchi Kocchi. just two oblivious kids crushing on each other in that “it’s obvious to everyone except them” sort of way. format wise it’s skit based, almost like if Lucky Star had been written to be more wholesome and less crude.
btw, i’d also appreciate recs from any other Acchi Kocchi enjoyers in the thread 😉
