Why, that’s the Dodecaholedron.

Dash is a crypto, yeah. How to add coins and the supported currencies are here, along with anything else you need to know:

In this context? Cocaine.

This was an interesting perspective on privacy in different cultures. Why was it removed for “bigotry?”

He lives under capitalism just like the rest of us. How do you think people make money?

No prob. VPNs shouldn’t affect how you can pay. Canadian banks all support e-transfers so we don’t use a lot of cash apps, I’ve never used paypal.

I was able to use prepaid cards everywhere. They should work just like a Visa or Mastercard.

Metamask is very beginner friendly and no different from setting up an e-mail.

It’s called a “non-custodial” wallet, you control your funds so you don’t need ID. Custodial wallets are tied to exchanges that hold your funds, even though they belong to you, and all transactions are approved by the exchange. They follow KYC for legal reasons, like a stock exchange, but they’re also a bit safer to use.

Since you’ll be doing peer to peer transactions, remember there are no backsies. Once you send money, it’s gone.

You won’t be able to cash out at registered exchanges, so it’ll be tricky to get IRL money unless you have buyers you trust.

I haven’t used these guys in a while, but they don’t need ID in Canada at least: https://coincards.com/

Be safe out there. Don’t buy shit coins. Sign up for airdrops. Transfer fees go up and down throughout the day, it’s always cheaper to move larger volumes at night in North America.

Trading platforms and exchanges require IDs, you don’t need ID to have a crypto wallet for peer to peer transactions. I have like five.

Then I donno, man. Pull a Ferris Bueller or work for crypto.

It sounds like the root problem is not being able to leave the house.

Do you know anyone who can escort you? Furthermore, “leaving the house while suicidal” isn’t a crime. You’re a legal adult, so unless there are measures in place the cops can’t force you to do anything. Even if they can bring you back, you can probably set some stuff up before they find you.

I almost went the tattoo route when I was younger. I got a lot of information just by going into tattoo shops with my sketchbook and asking if anyone was looking for apprentices.

So you’re in your 20’s, in the states, and have never had a bank account?

I won’t make assumptions about how that happened. I’m Canadian so I don’t know how helpful this will be since our regulations are a bit different, but have you tried just walking into a bank with everything you have and explaining the situation? If they can’t set up an account they should at least be able to point you in the right direction.

In Canada we can get a driver’s learner permit with minimal ID. Birth certificate, SSN and proof of address should be enough. If you can get that you’ll have a government issued photo ID and you’ll be set. Alternatively, we can get a provincial ID with minimum documentation, if you can’t get a driver’s licence. There must be some equivalent in the states.

Another option is to get someone to notorize a document and photo that says you are you. Just call a notary near you and ask how.

I like to say “relationships don’t end, they change.” I’m friendly with a lot of my exes for the same reasons I was into them in the first place.

For others, the relationship changed into the kind without speaking or acknowledgement. Still pretty sure we’d be civil, if not friendly, if we got stuck in the same elevator. Probably because we all have abandonment issues and Machiavellian tendencies.

I’d vote for you.

Who’s to say the person making $150,000 is living better?

Anecdotally, I just moved from a city with a median rent of $1600/month to a town where I just pay for utilities, to watch someone’s second home. I make the same amount of money.

I used to live near a low income grocery store that reduced my food expenses by 75%.

When I have access to a garden I can cut down my yearly food costs by a few hundred dollars.

I have no children. My friend with two kids makes twice as much as me and has less disposable income.

I still say give everyone the same amount. If it ends up making them disproportionately wealthy, tax the wealth.

Social assistance, labour unions, funding for infrastructure, free healthcare and education.

The American President Franklin Roosevelt, who was elected during the depression, and his New Deal policies were credited with pulling millions out of poverty, expanding the middle class, increasing standards of living, and rebooting the economy.

The New Deal led to the creation of the SEC (securities and exchance commission) to protect investors from shady stock market practices and the FDIC (federal deposit insurance corporation) to protect people in case a bank fails. It increased public works funding which in turn created jobs and better infrastructure. It also created welfare programs to get people out of poverty and labour unions.

The increasing wealth gap in the United States can be tracked to the slow rollback of these policies and reduced funding for the measures put in place. In the 1980’s, Reagan took the opposite approach with trickle down economics that cut funding to social programs and lowered taxes rates at the top brackets.

Now, the New Deal wasn’t perfect, it left a lot of people behind, but the spirit of it goes to show how economic controls and social supports are integral to a healthy population and economy. Inversely, Reaganomics led to the 1987 stock market crash, higher unemployment, and higher income disparity.

I agree with UBI, but what you’re proposing isn’t universal. On the one hand you could say this ensures everyone gets at least a minimum income, making it universal, but the implementation leads to biases, judgements and disparities. Every individual has unique needs and benefits that make it hard to determine how well they live.

I would support an efficient structure that can truly address each individual’s needs. Administrative cost isn’t just wasted money and social work is a job. On the other hand, half-measures in social supports are how we get disjointed programs, minimum payouts that keep people in poverty, and higher overhead costs for implementation.

Maybe I just want to see what happens if we give everyone the same amount of money and tax wealth and luxury items instead.

Wild mushroom and grouse cream soup. Because I found a bunch of black morels, my buddy shot a grouse, and my other friend brought cream.

Also onion, garlic, herbs, and I started with a roux to thicken it.

This isn’t a woman complaining about people getting creative with her face, it’s a report on her experience with Sora.

One of the key points stated at the beginning was:

Although nudity or sexual content is banned, I discovered people making fetish content with my face.

Which opens the question about what, exactly, someone is consenting to when they allow other people to use their face, and what’s considered pornographic.

She went on to say users were making underage fetish content and potentially pornographic material anyway. This is a problem with any AI generated content and why so many stable diffusion platforms have banned words and groups of terms, if they don’t flat out ban all sexual terms. But, since the apps use real language, it’s impossible to think of every possible route to an end. The terms of service and moderation try to plug the holes, but they can’t be 100% effective.

If dead internet theory was the goal.
