@Moon@JAJAX The numbered jokes is the oldest joke, I heard it back in the 80s.
Regiment's officers are in a sitting room with whores and tell jokes. Major says, "Just like today, 3!" Everyone laugh uproariously. Captain says, "not bad, but listen to this: 18." The officers laugh politely. Then, Lt. Rzhewski comes to the center space and proclaims "... 73!" Everyone is shuffling. Cornet comes to Rzhevski, slaps him across the face, and exclaims: "How can you tell such filthy jokes in the presence of ladies, Lieutenant!"
Remember that torrents are very much a here and now kind of source. They only exist as long as someone seeds. And that can fail. For example, I'm seeding Ginban Caleidoscope but there aren't any trackers for it anymore. BoxTorrents nee BakaBT keeps the last one, but they blacklist my client due to incorrect regex. Many such cases.
@shibao@Moon I think you may be right, although I don't understand in detail how IPFS works. Someone, somewhere, has to keep the object or all of its segments.
@lain I'm just back from a skating rink in Cedar Park, Texas, and it was full of girls in late teens of early 20s who looked exactly like that, minus the shades, wearing hoodies. All the fatties disappeared. There was one medium sized young lady, who brought in her boyfriend and was teaching him to skate.
@xianc78@Moon I was in bookstore a few days ago, and there was a guy there reading The 4th Industrial Revolution by Klaus Schwab and making highlights with intensity. My daughter saw it and said, "do you think he bought that book (or just picked it from the shelf)?" Indeed he didn't look like a guy who returns his shopping carts, but I didn't want to be judgemental with no basis.
@PhenomX6@deprecated_ii The reliance on Reddit of all places bodes very poorly for us all. It's a Wikipedia-level source and its authenticity is also in question.
@Moon@coolboymew That is my strategy too. I just say my piece and ignore the troll replies. Today, Vivi told me that I posted something "extremely racist". Very pleased with the compliment, as I only aimed for something mildly racist, or moderately racist at best. But I didn't even thank her/him/zir.
