A win's a win but it really was too close for comfort. Gotta stay vigilant and keep the fascists at bay. Thank you though, it's a mice sentiment. We dodged a bullet but the guns still firing.

Edit: responded to the other guy. Too much booze celebrating beating fascists

Humans have found creative ways to get fucked up for millennia.

Canada legalized it years ago and literally nothing changed. Well, good vibes maybe, but nothing negative.

Not really a scam, he was pretty up front about it.

Imposter syndrome just limits you. Nothing wrong with fake it 'til you make it. If you're not doing it, someone else is. Just base your opinion of them on what you see, and act the same regarding other's opinions of you. Actions speak louder than words.

I dunno, I'd like to try to be hopeful. The NDP has a real shot to completely rebrand and come back swinging. Convince Charlie Angus to come out of retirement and lead the party, and spend the next however-long-this-term-lasts rebuilding support. I can't think of a better outcome than having to Sophie's Choice between Carney and Angus. Imagine having to choose between 2 legitimately good party leaders.

I've been having to dig into some crypto savings and paying by converting to fiat. I've got a subscription that can be paid with crypto (which I've never done) and was gonna send from Ledger to a hot wallet to pay but I suppose I could just send it directly from Ledger yeah?

Without thinking about it I just assumed it'd be safer to transfer to a hot wallet but right before I did, I wondered why? I can't think of any reason paying directly from a cold wallet would have any risk compared to transferring out first. Would I have just wasted transfer fees or is there a good reason to transfer out first?

True enough. I suspect that "yet" will come pretty soon though. I'm hoping all of these 'early AI adopter' companies fuck themselves out of business. With the tech as it is, most companies pivoting their products to AI on the user-end are just introducing a middle man. Once people catch on to it and realize they can just cut out the middle man, they hopefully won't last long.

This kind of thing is what confuses me as a business model. Take audio books for example, Audible is pivoting to ai voices. Why would people spend $20 on an audio book with an ai voice when they can just spend $1.99 on the eBook and run it through an ai voice program themselves?

This went full circle very efficiently. Well done.
