> Removing incest games is not a burden to society

It is to those who enjoy playing them.

Are you suggesting that playing a game involving incest is somehow unacceptable, while a game with graphic murder is fine? It's a strange moral line to draw, and despite what you may think, your views are not shared by everyone.

Unless there is actual real-word harm to someone (which is hard to imagine happening from a video game), no, I don't agree with you.

What your kids are exposed to is your responsibility. Don't burden the rest of society because you can't be bothered to set your own boundaries.

> 1) not antagonizing regulators with extreme content

Who is this regulator that's going to care that Visa and Mastercard are processing payments for porn?

Why not? I regularly buy products and services online with crypto and it works quite well, usually a better experience than with a credit card.

There are plenty of chains that can confirm transactions in a couple seconds, and if you're concerned with volatility, just use USDC/USDT. There are crypto payment processors that handle all of this and allow payment across a range of chains and handle the volatility so that the merchant doesn't need to worry about anything crypto and just receives fiat.

Then the focus should be on reforming the police and courts, not on pivoting to vigilante justice.

> and as far as I can see that side still all bottoms out in crime or scams.

A lot of the value is technically from crime, i.e., using crypto to skirt government laws and financial regulations that I believe are unjust.

> I've always felt those were an admission of failure of the whole crypto enterprise. All of the downsides and none of the upside.

Ideally they wouldn't be needed, but they still allow one to take advantage of the other benefits of crypto (like unrestricted cross-border transfers) and still have access to a large markets of products and services.

How are there not real use cases for crypto already?

Surely more business is being done with crypto today than was done using the internet in the 80's.

I've been paid my salary in crypto for the last 8 years. The company I work for pays nearly all their expenses in crypto. I pay for my rent and most major purchases with crypto. A significant portion of my savings is in crypto. For fiat purchases, I'll use a reloadable crypto visa card. When I travel to foreign countries that mostly use cash, I'll usually exchange crypto for local currency rather than carry large amounts of USD or deal with sketchy ATMs.

My understanding is that the current governments of both Cambodia and Thailand are losing support because of economic and other problems and are using this conflict to distract from their domestic issues and shore up support.

I can never understand how anyone with an interest in tech hasn't switched to Linux for their personal desktop/laptop at some point in the last 20+ years.

Why would you want to use a closed source OS controlled by a corporation with a past as checkered as Microsoft's?

Trains are the easiest form of transportation for full automation. There shouldn't need to be any required staff on board.

Doesn't just about every passenger train have more than 2 carriages? I'd guess the average is closer to 10.

Please tell me this is sarcasm. That is exactly the kind of terrible idea that Mozilla would come up with and force on users.

They don't need alternative revenue streams. Just take the millions they receive from Google and spend it on tech. Cut out all the warm and fuzzy political marketing bullshit and all the management that have promoted it.

Yeah I've always wondered about that. I haven't gotten them regularly since I was 16 - 17. But in my late 30's, I still have an annoyingly high libido, no issues in the bedroom, and testosterone in the upper range of normal.
