  • I believe I’ve seen recent cost analysis of using crypto exchanges to transfer money across international borders instead of doing direct conversion through whatever “classical” money transfer service and it showed that due to exchange rates, price fluctuations between crypto exchanges, gas fees, and fiat exchange rates into and out of crypto from usd to whatever currency of the recipient its actually tangibly cheaper to just use a direct wire transfer and currency exchange.

    I’ll have to see if I saved the post with the price breakdowns to send you but I just wanted to share that in case you hadn’t heard about it yet. If you had seen that and did find it cheaper somewhere else I’d also be interested to hear where it is actually cheaper. That’s just the most recent analysis I had seen of the costs to exchange from fiat to crypto, send internationally, and then withdraw it in the native currency.

    Rip to the millions you smoked away btw lol I would’ve done the exact same honestly

    Its definitely hard to pick up and get good at controlling the ball and having spacial awareness. My issue is that regardless of having just picked up the game they try to learn the mechanics while 2v1 at midfield.

    When I started I played back and let the game unfold until I had a plan of attack. Passing the ball around, jumping in to goalkeep, covering the open man, basic stuff. Im level 30 now and every time I’ve got level 1 teammates they basically throw the game trying to do rainbow flicks and juke out the entire defense while I’m standing in goal wide open. YOU ARE NOT HIM!

    Having even the most basic understanding of actual soccer makes you a god in this game just about. I have been loving it so far. I just hope people trying it out get good teammates to show them how great the game can be.



  • Im saying your family stories are probably not as accurate as historians and authors who spoke to Germans in Germany in the 1950s about being nazis. Im very sure you’re not lying about that being what they told you.

    I’m calling you fantastical and wrong because painting a picture of nazi germany as a nation captive to a despot without any agency is holocaust revisionism. To say the German people were prisoners to the nazi regime is objectively false and all the documentation and research around the subject shows as much. They were very pleased with the reich and only started to sour once the war came home and started to get in the way of Germany’s greatness. Please read the book I recommended. Anecdotal evidence doesn’t prove this point wrong.



  • This is absolutely inaccurate and borderline revisionism. Germans were not held at gunpoint to heil Hitler or risk being shot, the average german was perfectly happy and enjoyed the comforts naziism brought them. This inaccurate portrayal does nothing but abstract naziism to be an entity that only exists under specific horrifying conditions and not the reality that for the vast majority of Germans they were happy to be nazis.

    Please go read about nazi germany before you make up some fanfic about how it was just like the wolfenstein games. “They Thought They were free” is a book entirely centered around the experiences of the average German during the nazi regime and not one word of your description is in his book.

    From Milton Mayer:

    These ten men were not men of distinction. They were not men of influence. They were not opinion-makers. Nobody ever gave them a free sample of anything on the ground that what they thought of it would increase the sales of the product. Their importance lay in the fact that God—as Lincoln said of the common people—had made so many of them. In a nation of seventy million, they were the sixty-nine million plus. They were the Nazis, the little men to whom, if ever they voiced their own views outside their own circles, bigger men politely pretended to listen without ever asking them to elaborate.

    Only one of my ten Nazi friends saw Nazism as we—you and I—saw it in any respect. This was Hildebrandt, the teacher. And even he then believed, and still believes, in part of its program and practice, “the democratic part.” The other nine, decent, hard-working, ordinarily intelligent and honest men, did not know before 1933 that Nazism was evil. They did not know between 1933 and 1945 that it was evil. And they do not know it now. None of them ever knew, or now knows, Nazism as we knew and know it; and they lived under it, served it, and, indeed, made it.



  • Look lady if you want people to have access to weapons as guaranteed by the second amendment the number one roadblock are weapons manufacturers who have used their monopoly on production to make firearms a luxury item. “Ghost guns” are a democratization of self defense and, in a time of rising fascism, to stand on a soap box and say “I want arms even harder to aquire” is active disenfranchisement of the working class who will have to fight their way out of this without the support of their military.

    The middle class should be mass producing this stuff right now on clandestine supply chains and distributing them to various cells across the country. Anyone with access to a 3d printer should be getting as much of this stuff out as possible before this even gets a vote. Pass around schematics on flash drives like its cod3 in your computer class in high school. We need to be organized now more than ever, they are showing a unified front against workers and this is just one step towards absolute censorship and surveillance. Take them at their word when they tell you who they are. If Luigi is the enemy here then let me tell you: you’re not on their side.



  • You are simply trading, by hate and ideology, the freedom of few to be billionaire with the freedom of everyone else to do what they want in their life.

    Da ruski, good job pointing out the actual issue and then moving past it like it doesn’t destroy your argument. To your billionaire owners: we will thresh them just like the tsar and his family. The freedom from oppression exceeds anyone’s freedom to amass wealth. They will pay for their success either by death or taxes and I really dont care which one
