"Dear Reddit, why don't my kids call me anymore?"
My dude, I reckon you'd save more money buying them actual Jordan's.
Low end I've seen for an NFT is around like 5-600 dollars right? Nike sneakers are like what $150?
I was thinking low thousands for an NFT. At least the shoes would make the kids happier and he wouldnt have to actually explain what they are.
Plus you can actually wear the shoes, they are comfortable and protect your feet. They have function. An internet token is literally an ethereal speculation device, ones and zeros on a computer screen that can't feed you or keep you warm.
Crypto bros must see shoes as some "thug" thing while their ugly computer generated internet cartoons are an enlightened investment. :so-true:
Bazinga Brain mentality wherein it's soft racism that rap and sneakers are "low brow" culture for "thugs" while my computer version of Funko Pops is for high class gentlemen.
A foam rubber headless dismembered bloody torso of a dead bikini-clad woman that came from a video game's collector's edition box is classy. :so-true:
My 13 year old anime girl statute with the triple-D cup bra size is the pinnacle of enlightenment thought.
It is.

Criticizing that kind of edgelord trash is likely to anger the treat seekers. Even here, sometimes.
I haven't dared post anything there because of what I learned from Reddit culture and its /r/gaming :so-true: community in particular, but knowing that the mods here aren't down with that makes me feel more comfortable considering that in the future.
:a-little-trolling: We have the best mods folks. Many people are saying this.
Are you ready for a crisis situation, like say a professional game reviewer giving a Zelda game a 7/10?
That's the best part, people here are already far more critical than any mainstream game sites, and most of the discourse around gaming here is just people talking about cool indie/niche rpg/strategy/sim shit and complaining about HOI being too reactionary.
Myself I try to keep tabs on the intersection of labor and gaming and post as many updates on that as possible.
Maybe I'd be better off going there if I criticize something in a video game or criticize the industry's corporations and oligarchical leadership.
In my experience, being too fast and loose with treats criticism even on Hexbear can get some fans of it to take it personally, then they start calling me names and holding weird grudges against me for what I said for days or even weeks alter.
Dude, people not agreeing with your weird hot takes isn't the fault of everyone here but you being an incurable treat defender. You aren't The One True Leftist. Get off it.
Dude, it's fine to disagree with me or even to dunk on me, but it gets weird when the grudge carries on and said treat haver starts making it a personal mission to follow my posts because I said a bad thing about the treats.
Get off it.
It's the perfect term for :so-true: type redditors. They're not PMC blue checks on twitter or boater kulaks frothing at the mouth for Trump, they're clueless rubes who think assholes like Elon are going to save them through crypto and gaming.
Yeah that was fast but it's kinda perfect. They're not chuds, they are the type of people that might have voted for Trump because he was funny, they have no personal stake in anything and are free to blow money gambling on stupid shit that deep down they only like because it pisses other people off.

Sitting in the corner of an empty bar, crying into a santa hat so the staff can’t see the tears, googling “hhwo to make nft of pciture samsung galax9y”. There’s pee running down my leg again but I can’t go to the bathroom. Goddammit I need to see my son again. I need him to respect me. If I can just… just turn his photos into NFTS and sell them on the internet. I can give him one as a Christmas gift (it’s still Christmas) and sell the rest. Get rich so fast. Tell him I got a job as an investor which is much more important than his mother’s new “doctor” boyfriend.

I'm only an apprentice carpenter of heaven so my lathe work is sloppy, but we're going to reach brave new tiers of deadbeat dad with NFTs. Next Christmas, there will be at least one kind of NFT for sale at gas stations. There will be at least one cryptobro-turned-familycourtcrusader who brags about buying one while drunk-driving home on Christmas Eve because his ex can't turn him away if he shows up dressed like santa with gifts. He will be arrested for screaming "this is worth $300k, your mom's new boyfriend only bought you a car" while holding a simulacrum of a fidget spinner.
This is the golden era of Guy.
So much of it will be driven by fear of missing out and survivorship bias.
Nothing new. Just more absurd and grotesque. :desolate:
That's why NFTs will naturally migrate to gas stations. They'll be the new form of lottery tickets. Buy a pseudo-url of a random JPG and maybe it will be worth a fortune for some reason. Little old ladies pawning their food stamps outside so they can get one more Danger Donkey Series IV that they don't know how to access.
A pair of Nike Air Jordans have more intrinsic value than an NFT. You could trade the shoes for cash or barter them, the best you can get out of an NFT is crypto money that's useless if you can't go through the convoluted process of cashing out.
lol chief in aint 2014 anymore, you dont have to buy a brick of heroin to get your money out of crypto anymore
you literally just go to an exchange.
lol i have never owned a single fraction of crypto in my life but it would do everyone here good to realize that they have zero idea and zero concept of what they are talking about, at all.
New Xmas film just dropped: "The Libertarian who ruined Christmas" :libertarian-approaching:
The only time doing a prank gift with a box of something and not have it in it is when you actually secretly have the real thing hiding and give it to them after the "joke." And even then it's a dick move most of the time, especially with kids who can get very emotional about it.
Crypto bros aren't exactly known for being good around kids. :libertarian-approaching:
Lmao, imagine being such a rube that you cashed out your Iraqi dinars for NFTs. :agony-consuming:
“You’ll thank me later!” I cry as I examine the wall.
:stalin-gun-1: :stalin-gun-2:
Libertarians dont want to give them Jordan's because it has scary black man as mascot
AITA for giving my kids a piece of paper inside a Nike box for Christmas?
I remember getting savings bonds as gifts when I was a kid, and I could appreciate those. If I got an ugly ape picture, I'd be confused at best. You have to explain so much about NFTs to make sense, and even then, it doesn't.
