Discourse is more constructive than throwing money around, which only the wealthy can afford, or dueling, which only a few are skilled at Both plutocracy and violence are abhorrent in a modern, civilised society, except wealth often follows from privilege, while dueling is meritocratic Not to mention, society is not about an egotist fantasy about who is "right" or "wrong" - it's about finding truth before it's too late. There's absolutely zero value to society if a billionaire swept up a prediction market for nuclear apocalypse, there's infinite value for all of us to come together and discuss how we can best prevent that outcome. (Same goes for positive outcomes.) Betting markets aka prediction markets are useful for what they do - betting. (Side-note: "personal consequence" would be partially true if betting markets had "wealth-adjusted risk", e.g. for a billionaire throwing $1M into a bet is nothing; for the average person, $1M is impossible.)

pro tip — loose leaf tea is +EV to the max the ritual of preparing it already puts you in an improved headspace and not once have I felt worse after drinking a cup or two (can’t say the same about basically any other beverage or other consumable) also so much room for experimentation to suit your tastes 🍵

Seed oil is to "based" people as ??? is to woke people? I had plastic straws, but there's got to be a better purity/disgust allergic reaction motif than that.

"Culture is more than just art and music. It's the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the beliefs we hold dear. Embrace diversity, celebrate traditions, and explore new horizons. Let's broaden our perspectives and learn from each other.
