President-elect Donald Trump has now found yet another way to convince his followers to throw their money his way — this time with a questionable cryptocurrency venture.Axios is reporting that the soon-to-be 47th president of the United States has rolled out a "meme coin" dubbed $TRUMP, which is bei...

Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to go through life without a sense of shame.
The sci-fi books/series “The Expanse” features a rogue lab where all the scientists got the part of their brain responsible for empathy intentionally destroyed.
I sometimes think about that and wonder what it would be to be like that. How easy it would be to make a ton of money. And how sad it must be for these people to live only for themselves.
A friend and I were discussing this. It seems like these days it’s more rewarding, objectively, to be a shitbag than to actually be a good human. We’re constantly being played for suckers despite having morals. Everyone else is cheating in this tragedy of the moral commons.
There’s a selection bias, we usually hear about the most successful shitbags. Most ordinary shitbags live pretty terrible lives. Just look at the life of the typical red state resident. Usually working their ass off in a blue collar for some plutocrat who abuses them, subjected to country music all day long. Almost makes me feel bad for them.
Same goes for most ordinary non-shitbags.
The point is, just because one shitbag gets away with it, that shouldn’t motivate you to also become a shitbag.
I hope you don’t think this is just a recent thing…
Enter the church
At some point there will be a correction and history will not look kindly on these people.
Dude people have been waiting for that since before Jesus Christ.
It actually seems like it feels pretty great. The downside is you’re probably some degree of sociopath or other disorder. But I’m neither qualified nor experienced to diagnose.
Maybe, but neither Trump nor Melania look like they feel great.
Smellania?
Smellania and Strump, shitting in a stree.
Isn’t calling it a meme supposed to be the quiet part? I thought we called them “meme” coins because everybody was in agreement that the coin wasn’t meant to be taken seriously?
Nah, you call it a meme so everyone doesn’t look at it too closely.
It’s like the typos in scam emails and texts.
The people that would actively investigate such a thing dismiss it immediately.
The stupid people buy right into it.
I think Elon has already bought himself a bit of Melania…
He’s more interested in doggy trump
Nah, that’s just his current pet. Once he doesn’t find a use or loses interest he’ll move on. Maybe he’ll stay close to usurp the cult once Trump croaks.
I can’t not see Smelania now.
Smelania? That’s not very nice.
