The fact that they stopped due to volatility kind of proved my point.

I don't know what you're saying. If I charge a particular amount for a loaf of bread and then the cryptocurrency value drops halfway through the day then that person still has the bread but I now don't have the money.

The whole point of currency is to get away from the fluctuating value of exchange that everyone had to deal with when we used to buy things with gold and semi-precious stones.

You would have thought that for 2 billion pounds it would have been human sized.

I certainly wouldn't keep anything in cryptocurrency. I would transfer it to something stable.

I mean, it is worse

Most people shouldn't buy them until more places accept them for payment.

It's not going to happen. You can't price things when the value of the currency changes every 10 minutes.

They've been saying "AGI in 18 months" for years now.

The biggest thing holding back flying cars is that everyone calls them helicopters.

The big problem is that half the time the answer that you get is that you shouldn't be in the situation you're in so the question doesn't apply.

Well yeah, but here's the thing, if I ask the question it's because I am in the situation I'm in, and therefore need assistance. So telling me that the situation I'm in is not optimal is literally the least helpful thing one could do.

You have to etch them with Eldritch potions on the mystical and long-lost island of Ti-wo-ann.

It's just that sometimes they don't respond to input.

I think you sort of have a point but it's been lost by the word salad.

Anyone who ever unironically says the phrase microaggression automatically sounds like an absolute twit

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
