↩ Miwojedk "Rosenbaum was raised in Texas and Arizona, according to The Washington Post. The paper reported that Rosenbaum said he was molested by a stepfather and had spent most of his adult life in prison starting at age 18 for sexual conduct with five preteen boys."

Man attempts to strike Kyle Rittenhouse in the head with his skateboard:

Another man attempts to do some sort of flying kick into Rittenhouse's face (with dogshit form might I add, man looks like he's simultaneously kicking Rittenhouse and jacking off where are his hands):

I don't see how this was ever even a case. He was so obviously acting in self defense that I don't see how anyone could think that he is guilty. -

↩ Telesphoreo No they’re not. Money is actually worth nothing. We all agree that money has value and use it.
Money only has value because people ascribe value to it so it can be used in an economy. If people ascribe value to NFTs the same way they do to money, then NFTs are "valuable" in our economy in the same way money is.
Quote↩ Telesphoreo Thing is, people aren’t stupid and realize NFTs shouldn’t have any value because of how stupidly easy it is to save one.

People actually have been putting value on NFTs, so I don't know where you get your claim that people realize NFTs shouldn't have value from.Quote↩ Telesphoreo how stupidly easy it is to save one. If everyone could copy and paste money, then its value would go down also.
Right clicking and clicking "Save as" doesn't do anything. Just because you go to an art museum and take a picture of a painting doesn't mean you now own that painting. It's impossible to steal an NFT by just screenshotting it because the actual ownership of it is stored on blockchain.

↩ videogamesm12 They are worth something for the same reason lots of art is worth something:
It's just another way to store value.Take the whole banana taped to a wall thing that was popular recently. There's nothing special about it, it's not even an actual piece of art. However, somehow it sells for $120,000. It's not because it's some beautiful art piece like the Mona Lisa, but because some rich person can sink 120k into it to store money. It's just a bank account you can hang on your wall. All it does is store money away from a bank (probably some legal loopholes in there), and then your friends at art galleries can pump up it's value even more for you to resell it and make a profit, and do it all over again.
NFTs do just the same thing, but it's all online. And all value isn't lost when power goes out, because it's not stored on your device. It's stored online so it's impossible for it to disappear as long as the internet is running somewhere.
I'm not some crazy NFT addict who invests his grandma's retirement funds into crypto or anything, but I just view NFTs as a better modern art. A banana on a wall can be destroyed, but something online cannot. They both operate on the same principle, and they are both equally stupid in that it's either a monkey cartoon profile picture or a banana on a wall. I think that both should disappear and rich people should store their money in something actually valuable, namely my bank account.

↩ erin Analogy for all those who see just a big block of science words
Just because you study for an exam, doesn't mean you'll automatically ace it.
However, you will do a lot better on that exam than you would have if you had not studied at all.Taking the vaccine doesn't mean you will never get Covid, only a reduced chance of getting it, and if you do the symptoms will be much milder.

I don't have any problems with the vaccine (I'm fully vaccinated) but this seems like a huge invasion of privacy. I don't think the federal government should be able to mandate taking the Covid vaccine.
To me it seems ironic that (at least in America) the same party that says "My body my choice" when it comes to abortion also supports vaccine mandates.
