I have trained my AI using your guides, but it keeps responding with 'have fun staying poor.' help me in troubleshooting this issue!
Whatever crimes the government and those in power commit are all deemed legal, but fools don't understand until they're crushed like insects.
I still don't get why people lick ass of politicians and authority fuck em all
I pay way less tax than years ago when I was in Fiat. Now my employer just cuts some chunks from my monthly salary as tax, but I don't even pay 0% tax on my small side business I run because I only accept bitcoins.
But no one really gets this kind of explanation, no matter how much you try. I only came up with this over time, and eventually, it’ll become easier for everyone to understand. But I don’t want any user to leave just because they didn’t understand CCs. You have no idea how much I miss @Rsync25. I now have to spend some time keeping myself updated.
I have a restaurant near my area with a small staff, so they set up a token system. You give them money, buy tokens, and then go fuck around enjoying and eating whatever you want until you run out. If you have any tokens left, you can give them to your friends or use them next time, but you never get money back for them because you bought so many, knowing you'd return. Something SN has is similar, but consider @k00b a good manager who still keeps things pretty light. Try to understand why they’ve done this.
Yeah, but I feel sad when some users leave after CC was introduced, but I'm happy that we have more new ones joining. I have a suggestion: you can add information about CCs on @saloon or make a permanently pinned post. I hate when someone says CCs are shitcoins.
