I think I've said it before, but if I haven't, it is my belief that some time in the future, people will look back and say that World War III started in the 2008-2014 time frame. That is, some of the armed conflicts from that time and this time will eventually unite with other conflicts into what will become known as WW3.

That is, WW3 is already going on, and neither Neville Chamberlain style appeasement nor "we're just going to focus on things within our own borders" will prevent the war from coming to all or nearly all of Europe and North America. (And likely, East Asia.)

Traitors like #Trump and #Tucker_Carlson who are willing to sell out everyone else's freedom in order to appease #Putin are just going to cost us lots of unnecessary deaths.

And as #Ukraine can attest, death during a time of war doesn't confine itself to military personnel fighting on a battlefield. #Russia can lob the same missiles that it is using to kill civilians in Kyiv at London or New York or Paris or Toronto ... and they will.

Basically, #Trump said that if any #NATO ally isn't spending its designated 2% on its military, he'll invite #Putin to invade and enslave that country.

One day, the survivors will look back at Trump's speech in 2024-FEB and will allocated an estimated number of deaths to his encouragement of Putin's dream of building a new #USSR and ensuring that it rules the world.

I recently had to ride to a few offices with another techpeep. I, of course, was masked. He, on the other hand, was not.

I don't recall how the discussion got there, but we were talking about shutting down schools due to the #COVID-19 pandemic and he said that "we knew from the beginning that it basically did not affect children and that we didn't need to do that". I pointed out that we did not know any such thing, and that despite generally less severe effects, those kids live with parents, grandparents, and other adults ... sending them into germ factories unmasked (as he'd have wanted) would have been a death sentence for many of the adults in these kids' lives.

Then I mentioned that most schools have ventilation issues and many are in buildings that date back 50-100 years. (And in fact, one of the facilities we were supporting was in an old school that was probably built in the late 1940s or early 1950s. In this case, it was an area of small towns where almost everyone under 50 had left to find jobs, so most of the schools closed.) He insisted that all schools had done ventilation upgrades in 2020 as the pandemic spread across the nation.

At that point, I understood that this person likely ingested too much propaganda from a certain "news" channel, much of which is probably originally designed in Moscow, so I stopped responding.

He was probably a normal or nearly-normal person until the fear that #2019-nCoV was a plot by #China and the #Democrats to displace #Trump came about. I don't have any indication that this is what he believed / believes, but I think a lot of #anti-vaxxers and #anti-maskers started there and moved on to their extreme beliefs afterward.

> Later on Truth Social Mr Trump said the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) were "very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting".

> The "one-of-a-kind" assets in the digital world can be bought and sold like any other piece of property, but have no tangible form of their own.

> They can be thought of as certificates of ownership for virtual or physical assets.

> Advocates say NFTs are the digital answer to collectibles, but critics have warned about risks in the market, which emerged from the wider world of cryptocurrency. Activity in the space has dropped this year, alongside a plunge in cryptocurrencies.

As I understand it, the actual files of #NFTs tend to be hosted on #IPFS, but if someone doesn't "pin" the files, they can eventually be deleted. And some have been hosted on a regular website, which really stinks if and when the site shuts down or even rearranges and replaces its former content with something new.

> A report for the US Congress this year noted that NFT sales have been used to collect credit card and other financial information, and been subject to other scams.

Which isn't surprising. Every other sales channel has been abused that way, from restaurant purchases to retail stores, to mail order. This line makes it sound like those are unique threats to NFTs, but they are part of the danger when one uses a credit card to buy anything.

By the way, #Trump's #Truth_Social #socnet is supposedly a modified version of the #Mastodon software. As far as I know, it does not federate (so there's no need to get excited about #blockwars and push #fediblock).

I'm surprised. I figured that most prospective buyers would be like my neighbor: old and cranky, and in no way savvy enough to buy digital collectibles. I figured that his fans would eagerly buy physical trading cards (collectible quality, so archive quality materials, plastic sleeves, laser-engraved authenticity sticker) for that much or more, but not the digital version.

This guy next to me is listening to a #Trump interview about #RU_vs_UA and the economy.

I know that Trump produced better economic !econusa results for Black and Hispanic Americans than any previous president, but I think it was mostly accidental. I don't pretend that putting him back in office would produce similar results.

I am really not used to hearing this sort of stuff at work. These last few days in #NYC could get a little rough.

And please, please, #twin_parties, let us not have a rematch of the 2016 election. Let both of those candidates go home and walk on the beach, pondering where they went wrong.

Worth viewing, even though there were 3-4 commercial breaks inserted by YouTube.

I'm sure he has other videos about impeachment. I'd like to hear his opinion of what happens beyond removal from office. I suppose I could just read the Constitution and try to interpret it for myself, but as shown in the above-linked video, there is a lot of Supreme Court (and other federal courts') case law, plus statutes.
