I enjoy k, but I never go for k-holing, I like small amounts every so often. I suppose I’d liken it to preferring to get a buzz from alcohol vs getting really drunk. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever k-holed before and I don’t really have any pull towards wanting to do it either.

Trump is a global security risk.

I’ve seen a couple of things that I wish I hadn’t, but I never opened a link to a beheading video. That was definitely one line I wasn’t willing to cross.

There is such thing as loose leaf tea where you don’t use tea bags when brewing.

After a bit further reading of the article it looks like they also found that certain types of tea bags helped.

They should probably move that information to the top so it at least primes readers ahead of time. Either way, I still feel like this system they are defining has to have some sort of centralized verification agency/group and I don’t really know how you can do that and not potentially be open for abuse or corruption. Alternatively, I also don’t know how you can verifiy an individual is who they say they are and aren’t creating fake/bot accounts in a decentralized manner either, these are very hard problems to solve and I don’t know if this paper touches on any ideas as to how to solve them, but it would be interesting to hear from the author on those topics.

Again, interesting read and thanks for sharing it, I think it’s important for people to be thinking about how to approach problems like this in a digital age sooner rather than later.

Maybe it’s because I couldn’t get through reading all of this, but my initial skimming leads me to believe this would be hard to fully protect against abuse. It also feels like that at least in the beginning there would be a lot of centralized power and that doesn’t feel great to me.

There are also a lot of grammar mistakes that made it hard for me to read, I’m admittedly not a great writer, but it was causing me to stumble while reading and made me question if this paper had even been edited or proofread by anyone.

All that said, it’s definitely an interesting thought experiment.

Calling the office of the Attorney General in your state would be a good place to start. Also contacting the people in your state’s houses of Congress as well as the ones at the federal level.

Hoping to see my state added to the list, they’ve been filling suits on a lot of other issues as well, but sometimes seem to be a little delayed.

Can we stop referring to him as becoming a king? Let’s call it what it truly is that he’s trying to become, a dictator.

Exactly what I had in mind when I wrote my original comment.

It’s like mob tactics, once you pay for protection they’ll just keep coming back asking for more until you’re bled dry, then they’ll dispose of you.
