Fun fact: Weird Al's song "Dare to be stupid" came out when Devo was unable to recreate their own sound and Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo said that he hated Al for becoming better than them at their own thing. In his own words: "I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else and... I hate him for it."

Also, AV Club calls the song "more Devo than the real thing".

anyone feel like they never belong in any internet platform? like sure i have discord, twitter, instagram and i digest whatever im into

but at the same time i always feel like a visitor, i never feel like im "belong" there in a sense
i accepted the fact that im "fandomless" but i still feel bummed that i dont have anything to call "my group" n stuff

this place is nice though

sorry for the rant, here a picture of a cute girl to compensate

@brute666 discord, twitter, and ig are censored corporate surveillance trash, the only people who fit in on those platforms are normies who say nothing of meaning or consequence

Whenever I lose confidence in my ideas, I think about how Jeff felt about the first iPhone

@sl1200 @anon00110 @Decentralize_today you have several errors in this post:

- there is no such thing as "objective value". all value is subjective.

- even if they have little/no objective value (not a thing), the fact that they are "just software" and that their software is *not identical* means that they would necessarily have *different* value based on their different implementations.

- the consensus of bitcoin's value does not depend on bitcoin producing large profits in a short time.

another day, another instance of google censorship

random access memories isn't that good of an album.

@anon00110 @Decentralize_today @sl1200 i personally find bitcoin to have significant utility value entirely independent of price movement/speculation, and was using it long before it was worth much of anything.

@anon00110 @Decentralize_today @sl1200 do you think the fact that gold costs 1800 usd per ounce is a result of the fact that it doesn't corrode and conducts electricity well?
