My question is simple. As I understand it, owning more ether means miners are awarded more ether right? So doesn't that mean the biggest players will acquire the most coins? To me that seems more risky not less.
A quick thought experiment. There are 3 people in the world and persons A & B each have 1 coin for a total of 2. Then there is person C who has 2 coins. Doesnt that mean that person C will accrue more coins over time, at a faster, compounding, rate? Play this out long enough and doesnt person C have all of the power & influence in regards to the ledger?
With the amount of money pouring into the Reserved List lately, it got me thinking: the more money that goes into it and the more people that buy in, the more outrage/lawsuits there would be if the Reserved List were abolished, which in turn might make that less likely to happen. Does that make any sense?
The sub all of a sudden has 200K+ members now. I wish they were all apes but i know they’re not. I saw the same thing in WSB and GME. When this happened it only took a few weeks for them to divide and conquer.
Normal activity in this sub is random. A new ape asks old questions, random memes, a smooth brain asking for help, Reposts of Twitter or DD.
Shills are organized and post their unified agenda in self reinforcing groups. They’ll award and upvote each other’s posts and make reinforcing comments.
This provides the perception that those posts have overwhelming support, bullying apes into supporting or being fearful of commenting in opposition.
It’s a feedback loop of division.
When multiple posts with the same underlying message pop up in quick succession, I’d be mindful of fear-mongering. Especially when hype is building.
Anyone projecting their own fear, morality or shame onto others forgets there is no “WE” Only Ape. There is no “voice of reason,” Sir this is a Wendy’s. You do you boo, ima do me. Any media / family-friends misconceptions will come out in the wash. Truth will find a way, it’s up to others to listen.
I embrace the chaos, diversity makes us strong.
Each of you have your own reason for liking the stock. Be safe. Be smart. Use your own moral compass. I promise not to yuck your yum.

My girlfriend is funny, brilliant, beautiful and supportive of me. She is really my dream girl, and I want to help her achieve her dreams in the way that she has helped me achieve mine.
Lately, she's been pretty hard on herself about her eating habits. We eat pretty healthily and are pretty active generally. However, because of various things surrounding us like a cold winter and this crazy virus that's been going around, we've been a little less active these past few months. I am sure that we are both less in shape than we typically are, but I really haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Personally I feel like it is good to get a little stockier in the winter because of holiday treats to protect against the cold. That said, my girlfriend wants to eat even healthier before the holidays, and she wants to try the diet "keto."
Being kind of dumb, at first I assumed that keto was just a run of the mill low carb situation, no bread no booze -- that kinda deal. However, as I did some research for our shopping I realized that it is even more restrictive than I imagined. Like, in keto, a tomato is a high carb food! That said, I am down to do keto with her, because I love her and would choose supporting her over the passing pleasure of any carbohydrate-heavy food forever.
However, I notice that the way she talks about keto feels a lot more about losing weight fast than about sustainable healthy eating habits. I want to be supportive of her choices, but I don't want to be supportive in a way that makes her think I want her to lose weight. Instead, what I want to be supportive about is her having agency in her eating, and her feeling good about what we eat.
tl;dr : Good people of reddit, how can I support the choices of my dream person without reinforcing negative stereotypes about how women should look? How can I be kind to my smart and sexy partner while also navigating how hard it is for women to deal with the unachievable beauty standards that exist in our culture?
Disregarding political ideology entirely, I find this practice to be democratically and societally unhealthy, further nailing us into our divided corners. Such a dissent free zone seems like a great way to keep a narrative and messaging going and nothing more.
Finally, now speaking from my libertarian-socialist standpoint, the state of political discourse in r/conservative seems toxic and divisive in a way that makes me profoundly uncomfortable. And yet there seems to be increasing number of people in the middle and left adopting such harsh approaches. I would urge all good people of this country and world to practice some more civility, and back down the intensity a bit. We can all do better. And we all have to live together.
Thanks for letting me spit this out there.
Edit: Sorry for the typos in the title, I only have my phone.
I have a bad case of 'only sane person' and its starting to affect my ability to relate to others. I'm Scottish and culturally your taught to just hate yourself and everyone around you who dares to not agree with everyone all the time.
And I'm 25 now. I'm scared I'm becoming more like my family.
I really hope I don't come off as a know-it all? I've tried so hard to remind myself I have a brain and I'm allowed to use it.
But I am beyond weary. Being cowardly doesn't help. And I just dunno how to cut off my family. I know I have the means to, but I feel like I don't have the will.
Anyway. Thanks for. Reading.
I think there’s probably a technical term for what I’m talking about here, but I don’t know it. Basically: I’m on Facebook, and I click on something. Maybe an article, maybe an ad. Facebook takes notice of this, and gives me more stuff like the thing I clicked on.
Are there any philosophers who’ve written about how that feature of social media has affected society? And if so, where might I read their work?

Dog background: 10 m/o lab mix, rescued about a month ago.
My dog sleeps in a crate in our living room, which is adjacent to the bedroom. She likes her crate and usually after her last walk (9pm) she will hang out with us for a little while and then, around 10pm, go in there of her own accord, at which point we give her some toys and close the door.
I have been waking up at 6am to take her for a morning walk, but she regularly wakes up a little early (like 5:30, 5:45) and starts whining, which will periodically lead to a louder yelp. It is not enjoyable, and I am in an apartment so I worry neighbors can hear. I understand that I should not respond to the whining, because this teaches her to whine for attention. But if she is already whining when it is wake up time, what's the best way to handle this? I have been trying to wait until she stops whining even briefly, but it's a bit difficult to time, and I'm not sure how long of a gap is necessary before the dog won't associate her whine with my arrival.
I'll also note that while she doesn't like to see us leave and will sometimes let out a whine if we, e.g., close a door to stop her from following us, in general she doesn't seem too bad with separation anxiety. We've left her uncrated for half an hour or so in the living room without issue, and we crate her for an hour or more to go to the grocery store weekly, neither of which seems to cause her much distress.
Other things I imagine people will ask about:
- Exercise: She gets five walks a day (6, 10, 2, 6, ~9). The 6am and 6pm ones are probably 45 minutes or so while the 10 and 2 are more in the 15-30 range depending on how busy we are at work.
- Bathroom: While she poops and pees once we get outside, she doesn't do so immediately or in a way that makes me think she was whining because she was desperate to eliminate. The whining stops as soon as I'm up, and she's calm once I am -- not instantly roving around the house looking for a way out or rushing as we head on the walk.
I really would like her to be calmer when she wakes up because if not for her I would sleep later than 6am. It would be nice if she could chill better when she wakes up.
