yeah anyone who judges a group by its redditors is simply too online. most atheists are just minding their own business and not posting on r/atheism lol

besides if the worst thing atheists do is be cringe online, that still pales in comparison to the worst things religious people have done (untold amounts of war, imperialism and genocide) plus they're also cringe - at least Christians sure are

the horizon line isn't level. rotate it and you'll see Trump is the only one standing weird

admittedly I don't know any of the details and could be wrong. but are the kinds of people who listen to Talk Tuah really buying into these crypto grifts? seems like too much effort for your average normie. I just assumed most people who bought in are already into crypto trading and just throw money at whatever seems like it might take off

essentially yeah but I think the difference is that a rugpull involves selling off immediately, rather than playing the long game. if the creators of bitcoin had rugpulled early on it wouldn't be worth so much today. the smarter move is to sell off small amounts over time to avoid mass panic and keep the line going up. but a memecoin was never going to have that kind of longevity

yeah I think this is it. she went viral and immediately became surrounded by the worst types of grifters (her podcast is on Jake Paul's network and Mark Cuban was a guest) so probably someone like that convinced her that crypto was a "legitimate" way to bank off her fame. but yeah it's a scam either way

the conspiratorial part of me thinks that a pump-and-dump was coordinated by a group totally unconnected to her, with the intention of tarnishing her name. anyone with enough capital could have done that

 

that was an accusation leveled by bitter crypto dipshits, and everyone just took them at their word? maybe the price just tanked because it's a fucking memecoin and crypto is inherently unstable

not saying this to defend her - I despise anyone who would launch a cryptocurrency for any reason and I curse her and her family to ill fortune for 1000 years - but it would actually be way cooler if she did scam these losers (which is why I don't think it happened)

anyway this is the least consequential thing ever and I'm sorry for posting about it but it kind of bothers me that most people just went along with the crypto-bro narrative
