I didn’t say it was a creation of the Media. I said they use it that way. It’s good to trace it back to Reagan. What is not so clear is why the person I was responding to thinks it’s their racism that causes them to think of those images,

I’m sorry you are a racist. How does your racism cause you to equate welfare Queen with black woman? I’d have thought that was more connected to the media using it that way.

Is it clear that the guy really believed that Obamacare would benefit him ? It’s not him being a racist if he genuinely thought that the program would benefit immigrants and not benefit him.

Thanks for being the first to introduce the term ‘proof of waste’ to me! It’s so obvious on seeing it that proof of work is just not an accurate term to describe what is going on.

It seems like a fairly weird expectation to be able to explain advanced mathematics to someone of moderate learning/intelligence.

> Do you disagree about the purpose of an encyclopedia? Seems like it. As another commenter wrote: “Encyclopedia is not supposed to be an introductory learning material, it's supposed to be a reference work.”

When you say ‘encyclopedia’, are you referring to those old collections of books that we’re obsoleted 40 years ago?

Good question- what innovation did they bring?

The user can’t do what they want where they want on the web. The web is an adware and privacy destroying machine.

It’s not innovation if it’s just catching up to what another platform has been able to do all along.

What you say is true of historic artworks like a Van Gogh. Almost no NFTs are in any way like a historic artwork. An algorithmically generated cartoon character that is one of thousands, simply isn’t valuable. The fact that you have what a

PWA’s aren’t ‘innovation’. Apps can do far more than PWAs.

I guess my point is that you don’t seem to know much about watches, and are basing your view on a caricature of ‘rich people’. To my eye, some watches certainly do look like silly baubles, but that is a question of taste. For me, personall

True. They also could be part of the conspiracy to make people sick with 5g so that bill gates can inject microchips into people through the vaccines. After all, they haven’t denied it!

Everyone has a monopoly on their own products. Samsung has a monopoly on Galaxy phones. Tesla has a monopoly on Model Ss. It’s meaningless to say that Apple has a monopoly on a certain part of the iPhone infrastructure, since it’s their
