  • That’s a nice pipedream, but why would airlines move to this system? They seem perfectly happy with the current system where you have to pay to change anything.

    And the game thing doesn’t make sense. If the game shuts down, where are you going to use your NFT? There’s a few crappy crypto games that have tried making it so items are transferable, but for larger games it sounds like a nightmare to implement.

    NFTs are like crypto, a solution in search of a problem. I’ll be honest, I’m anti-crypto and NFTs, but if a valid usecase presented itself I’d be happy to be wrong. I just haven’t seen it yet.



  • Many of these immigrants are crossing other countries where they would be safe if they stopped there. Instead they choose to continue on to the US. At that point they are economic migrants, who are trying to skip the queue.

    It’s the same here in Australia. Instead of stopping in a safe country in SEA, they make dangerous boat voyages because they believe they’ll be better off financially. We turn those boats around or keep them offshore, where at anytime they could go somewhere other than Australia but they don’t want to because they want to try and seek welfare here.

    I have no sympathy for them. Let in the people who apply properly to come here. Not those who try to sneak in.











  • I don’t think any of those are good examples. Eg there’s no scientific basis for saying society would be better off if we implemented eugenics. Genetics aren’t the only factor in a lot of conditions that might be considered, and you can’t stop many things from just spontaneously arising anyway.

    The first one doesn’t even make sense, if someone is removed from society for the rest of their life for committing a crime it doesn’t matter if we do it by prison or death sentence.
