   The more I assimilate the ideas of NFT's in this context, the more I think in a dystopian mindset. People's opinions change over time and to encapsulate them into a permanent form to be recycled/reused as a form of attack aga

    I love this guy's channel. He's the only guy I've seen who has the guts to eat MRE's dated since WWII and perhaps older. The most recent I've seen was him comparing MRE's from the PRC (yes, China), Taiwan, USA,
