Hunter Biden’s laptop could be about to take on a new, more profitable meaning.

    We’re still doing meme coins? For some reason I thought we’d moved past that.

        You jest, but my brother in law has grand plans for the millions he’ll make on the crypto he bought years ago.

        Any day now…

          It’s funny. I actually bought Bitcoin back in 2013 to purchase some “questionably legal” NFL streaming service. It was like $30 back then. Something like that. I just bought like $500 worth. I figured why not and I just graduated and was making money finally.

          In 2015-2016 I sold it and paid off student loans. I had forgotten about it until then. Total fucking luck.

          I never ever look back and think “if only I held it!”. But, I guess even people that never profited from it are still in the sunk cost fallacy of finding out too late.

          It wasn’t smart of me to buy Bitcoin in 2013. It was just luck. But for some reason these crypto bros act like anyone that made money from it “earned it”. Like they predicted the future or something. They want to be that. It’s so fucking wild to me.

    Can we just jump to the end of this meme coin idiocy and make one called “RugPullcoin™” then go through the inevitable run-up and short order liquidation leaving coin owners holding the bag?

    Wonder how long until IOKIYAR gets applied to Hunter on this one.

    Since we are talking about voting again and mail-in voting and early voting etc…

    I have to laugh that one of the things that made cons so GRRRRR mad about voting in 2020 (besides people having access to mail-in voting during, a, AHEM, pandemic) was early voting. Because by the time their little scheme came along to try to ratfuck the 2020 election over the hard drive, oops, I mean, “laptop”, in many areas, some people already had the opportunity to vote.

    Republicans were (and still are) furious about this. They felt cheated that their stupid little October surprise fizzled because platforms took steps to not spread the disinformation. But also, because voters had already voted, and so it blunted their bullshit’s effects.

    Republicans were mad that people don’t have to stand in line on the very day of the election. Let that sink in. Republicans want YOU to be miserable.
