  • The first time I took mushrooms it had been after reading about this kind of thing for about a week.

    I recall reading about a man who was effectively blind but his eyes worked fine. What didn’t work fine was the part of his brain that interpreted what his eyes saw. So he just saw smeary streaks of light.

    It’s kind of like Linux without its V4L2 system for interpreting video capture devices. It can’t actually see video without it.

    I’d look at the instance they’re from. It’s a bitcoin cash hype machine and all the accounts were made on the same day and hyping each other in threads for bitcoincash. It’s literally trivial for an admin to just make a bunch of fake accounts, approve them, and then post with them.

    This post is an attempt to legitimize the instance and the bots spewing hype to pump the coin.

    Just check realbitcoin.cash and see for yourself.


  • Well definitely don’t spin up an instance and make a bunch of fake accounts all with the same cakeday hyping bitcoincash in your threads and then trying to appear legitimate by posting in other forums!

    Definitely don’t do that, and hey everyone else, definitely don’t siteban realbitcoin.cash or defederate from them. That wouldn’t be nice.


    Who the fuck am I kidding, defederate from this obvious scam instance asap everyone please.





  • Rules say no ads but the moderator posts nothing but what amount to ads for bitcoin cash.

    It’s thankfully its own instance, which we can block easily, and it has a really small user base so far, just 19 subscribers.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all bots, especially since every single one is a user at @realbitcoin.cash. It would seem more organic if ANY of the posts by ANY of the users were from ANY other instance, but when they’re all on the same instance, it certainly feels like someone spun up an instance, made a lot of accounts, and just started posting with them all. It’s literally trivial to do if you run an instance.




  • Boomer is a frame of mind and enough Gen Xers fit that frame of mind to get the label.

    You wouldn’t be catching strays if Musk wasn’t Gen X, some of the worst people in our congress were Gen X like Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, and outside of congress idiots like Governor Ron DeSantis are Gen X. Gen X is nearly 40% of the House Representatives and a quarter of the Senate.

    Some of the most fucked up assholes on the political landscape today are Gen X so they deserve the “Boomer” label.


  • Musk is Gen X. Ron DeSantis is Gen X. Josh Hawley is Gen X. Paul Ryan, Gen X, claimed Rage Against the Machine was a favorite band despite being a fucking Republican.

    Sounds to me like they’re pretty loud and fucking shit up just as bad as the Boomers, no offense.

    I don’t have good memories of Gen X, just memories as assholes older than me who judged everyone based on what music they listened to and were absolutely assholes if your music wasn’t cool enough.

    Am I shocked most of them grew up to be conservative fuckholes? No, no I am not.

    Anyway they mostly just get lumped in with Boomers, but Musk is Gen X and I think he’s sadly pretty representative of it.

    Over half of men (52%) aged 45+ voted for Trump and 44 is the youngest Gen X.

    He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs

    And he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun

    But he knows not what it means

    Knows not what it means, and I say

    He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs

    And he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun

    But he knows not what it means, knows not what it means, and I say, “Yeah”
