We could have had that, but when some people who might have succeeded tried to establish a proper standard for Markdown in 2014 the original inventor threw a tantrum so they backed down and it never went anywhere.

I have tried some and I do like bouldering. Unfortunately that does not cover all relevant muscle groups.
I am a bit envious of people who perceive the gym as a hobby. For me it is more like brushing teeth: Not fun in any way, but I do it anyway because I don’t want to deal with the consequences of not doing it.
Reminds me of a workplace story a friend of mine told me years ago:
On the desk opposite of her there was a colleague who insisted on wearing open shoes without socks to work every day. Due to proper AC that was a bit chilly at the feet so she brought a noisy space heater to warm her feet. And when other people complained about the noise she was shocked about how people could be so selfish and demand that she has to freeze. Could not see any other way out of that dilemma.
I fully support this idea for everyone else, this is clearly the right way to approach the topic.
Doesn’t stop me personally from trying to transform a few more kilos of fat into muscle though. My excuse is that it is for health reasons, but deep down I know vanity is a relevant factor.
This is not a meme, it’s just an ad.
You did not say anything nebulous, someone else in this thread did. Sorry that got mixed up.
Also, looking at another one of your comments I guess I have to take back the part where I claimed “every single time, without fail” people would not deliver an actual explanation of their point.
Are NFT-haters upset that art is being sold at all? Or are they upset about the delivery system?
I don’t have a problem with selling art. I don’t have a problem with people using NFTs if it really makes sense for them.
I do have a problem with people claiming NFTs will solve this or that problem and without fail, every single time when you ask for details about how that is supposed to work and be better than established ways to solve the problem you get either more nebulous claims that don’t mean anything or some variation of “I don’t understand it, but it will somehow still work, just trust me bro”.
Why not both?
I’ve sold some photos as NFTs 🤷♀️, and I’ve bought some art from well known people like sabet and ame72.
You did not sell photos or buy art as NFTs. You might have sold photos and bought art and also given out/received pointers to the receipts as NFTs.
Proves ownership that is much more difficult for scammers to steal.
How is it more difficult? A scam almost by definition makes the current owner perform some action to unwillingly give something away, why would it be harder for scammers to make victims perform actions that give away an NFT than any other electronic good?
You know how when you get scammed or defrauded there are systems in place to roll back the fraudulent transactions? By using NFTs (or anything else based on a blockchain) you throw away those systems and make it literally impossible to bring them back. For what gain exactly?
Banks and insurance companies can use them.
Why would they? It might maybe be slightly cheaper, because some infrastructure costs are externalized, but that does not come anywhere near being worth the headache of all your confidential customer data being public. Sure, they could anonymize it and have an internal infrastructure translating it back. That would negate the cost advantage and make the whole system more complex for no gain at all.
Reduces costs in proving ownership as well.
Please elaborate, because that is not anywhere near detailed enough to discuss it seriously.
“Bad things existed before, so we should not criticize them still existing today” is not a very strong argument.
The design goal was to avoid people just leaving it plugged in because that is more convenient and that then showing up on photos. Can’t have something as trivial as real life day to day usability ruin your image of minimalism.
That’s quite the drastic conclusion to draw from people telling you when they are available (and that not being literally always) to help you for something you most like presented as not critical or dramatic when you asked them. Do you seriously expect people to preemptively cancel all their existing plans based on a hunch you might judge their whole character and the sincerity of your friendship on the sole trigger of a seemingly innocent “hey, when would you be available to help me move?”?
If you want to at least give people a chance to adjust, don’t ask “when are you available?”, instead try “[date] is when I want to move, can you fit helping me then into your schedule?” at least a few weeks ahead of that date.
