Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sorry, I'm done giving mental cycles to crypto apologeia.
Well, you could try to see things as differently as they are. While I agree that PoW aka 'mining' is bad (e.g. for the environment) and there are a gazillion of scams out there, that doesn't mean that each and every crypto is bad.
I see you yearn for the sea...
Nice dude, literal death threat.
Nah. Just stating a fact of nature. Worms belong in the dirt. Pandas belong in a bamboo forest. And crypto bros...belong in the ocean!
Stating a fact about a crypto doesn't make me a crypto bro, just like making a single (somewhat abstracted, but obvious) death threat doesn't make you a murderer. Necessarily.
Ah, so you and zergtoshi are the same person. Nice job replying to your own alts! To the sea with you!
I'm sorry? Please re-read the thread. I posted the comment about ETH reducing energy consumption by 98%. That was me.
Nice low-key self report though. Everyone must have alts, right?
Going from PoW to PoS and reducing the overall ecological (and economical) footprint by doing so was a great win for Ethereum and the planet.
This eludes stubborn haters and why wouldn't it, if their key characterisicts are 'stubborn' and 'hater'.
Careful, wouldn't want to be accused of having a conversation with yourself 🙄
I often have conversations with myself, just not using online platforms with different accounts.
No, we aren't.
Stop your false accusations and threats already!
These facts of nature don't extend to what you call 'crypto bros', because they're not that part of nature you insinuate they are.
Oh, I do like the sea, the waves, the beach.
What I don't like so much is people trying to force their (imho) limited perspective on others.
So please go on hating crypto unaware that you basically just hate Bitcoin (and potentially other crypto involving mining) - at least that can be derived from your recent comments - but leave me out of it.
If you can't deal with having easily falsified a statement of yours, that had no merit in the first place, you might consider refraining from making such statements.
Have fun!
