Didn't they even sell the first YouTube video ("Charlie bit my finger") as a NFT?
That wasn't anywhere near the first video on YouTube. :lol: YT had been around more than two years already.

Scary how it takes literal seconds to generate these types of images
I wonder what the punishment would have been has he not threatened blackmail (basically). They’re gonna need to come up with changes to laws (or create new ones in general) with all the AI shite looming. Seems like it won’t be long until you can almost literally create anything with any “person” you want. shite is weird.
There's already a thread on this.

Here you go again. If you're going to say "save the image" on your computer, I can say make a photocopy of the card. If you can't agree with that, you're being intellectually dishonest.
Not at all the same thing. It's not being dishonest at all.
Like I said, I understand your point. I just disagree with it almost completely. And looking at the markets for NFTs vs. that MJ rookie card today supports my argument, not yours.

That's the whole "secret esoteric value" part.
The real value in NFTs was the purported big brains egotistically/sarcastically explaining to dullards the (paper) value in NFTs when normal people asked why they were worth anything.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same thing that goes with the memecoin bullshite? The whole "this has value because we say it does, so get in now before it really takes off!" schtick?

I mean your reply should be the exact same thing if someone said they wanted to own a certain MJ card.
But it's not the same thing at all outside of both being "collected." And one of them is an actual, physical, tangible thing with value while the other is an easily copy-able digital thing with perceived value that isn't really based on anything other than a fad. Outside of being a cool/fad/trendy thing, there was no inherent value in something like an NFT. Something very easily replicable and easy to "own" by anybody.
So again, there was money to be made short-term with them...I don't argue otherwise. But that's only because people are stupid and gullible, and almost universally, the last person left holding the bag when the jig was up gets fricked and loses all of their invested money, while the people who took advantage of dumbness were likely able to make at least some money with it.
But your comparison to the MJ card is laughable, but it is exactly why the NFT market took off for a short period of time. Because those two things aren't remotely the same, yet people acted like they were. That MJ card still holds value today, whereas NFTs almost universally (as even you stated in your post) are worthless since the fad is over.

Why would I say that? They aren’t the same thing (even though I get the point youre trying to make).

Just right-click the pictures and save them. Now you “have” it.
Thus the absolute stupidity of it all. I remember several people (rocket, jones) around here who were all about them. I’m not even saying you couldn’t make some money from it, because people in general are fricking idiots. But the whole idea behind it was laughably silly.

That’s fair. It aired during the golden age of TV.
I also think The Sopranos is ranked far too high. But admittedly that’s because I missed the boat on it and finally watched it for the first time a couple years ago. I liked it a lot, and there were times when I just thought “man, this show is good.” But it also felt really dated and a lot of it missed me. But I assume I’d have felt differently had I watched it when it aired.

Can’t wait to watch this and forgot it was coming out this weekend. I may watch it tomorrow night.
So sad that Paul was the only one who really saw how shitty AK was. And I get that he was also biased because he wanted Linda’s father instead. But still, it seems like at least one other of the guys should’ve seen through AK’s bullshite.

Breaking Bad at #1 is hilarious.
It’s a good show. Great at times even. But nowhere near the best ever IMO.
Planet Earth 2 being above the original is odd as well. The original is in my top 3 miniseries of all time (Band of Brothers is #2 for me). The second was great too, but more of a continuation of what the original laid down.
Arrested Development missing seems egregious.
And from my personal perspective, where the frick is Saved By the Bell. :dunno: :lol:

That makes sense since they clearly weren’t wolves. But that was fricking awesome. That rabbit’s agility and stamina are incredible. At one point he falls and you think he’s dead, and in a split second he rights himself about a foot from the predator and takes off and separates himself to about 50 feet. In the blink of an eye. :lol:
That was really cool.
I say this with no irony or ill intentions, but I wonder how involved the dad was in his son’s life before he was killed. Because based on the family’s actions in that video, something tells me the son who was killed maybe wasn’t in the best situation either.
Sad situation though, and I do wish the dad would’ve performed better in that fight. I thought it would go differently once they hit the ground, but that seemed to be the slipperiest floor in history.

Pizza Hut has the best pizza sauce IMO.
I like PJ’s, but I’m honestly not sure when the last time I had it was. And whoever said they value their pizza more than they should is spot on.
That garlic sauce was fricking fiya though. No doubt.

Oh I agree with that. There are just lots of other ways to show that if that’s your goal. Which ultimately that wasn’t their goal IMO.
And I must’ve missed the tidbit about JD’s kids in the opening monologue. But that makes sense.
re: MOH winner Slover a little inside baseball

One of the most interesting points I ever heard about MOH recipients is that despite all of the accolades and praise they receive, for many of them that was the absolute worst day of their lives. Sure, they were heroic, but they most likely saw some horrible things,, did some horrible (but heroic) things, and likely had their close friends die. And that always really stuck with me.
