The English-language edition of Wikipedia is blacklisting Archive.today after the controversial archive site was used to direct a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against a blog.
In the course of discussing whether Archive.today should be deprecated because of the DDoS, Wikipedia editors discovered that the archive site altered snapshots of webpages to insert the name of the blogger who was targeted by the DDoS. The alterations were apparently fueled by a grudge against the blogger over a post that described how the Archive.today maintainer hid their identity behind several aliases.
Money, an invented concept, controls the whole of the population because we believe it has value…Never a more deluded species than the one that worships made up numbers. I weep.
Now explain why you think that’s relevant to the article you commented on.
I would like to argue with you, but since the answer glares, I cannot.
“I am so smart, the answer is obvious. So I won’t tell you. If you don’t get it, you’re not as smart as me.”
🙄
MONEY you fuck
There is nothing as hilarious as someone trying to use fancy words but missing pretty basic concepts of the language.
You’re trying to sound smart. It’s making you sound dumber.
yup
You should try yelling “money” again, that’ll definitely convince people. Of. Well, whatever it is you’re trying to convince us of.
Money you can fuck? I don’t see why not. Not entirely sure how it’ll change hands moving forward but it’s time to shake things up.
I don’t want to do the sir this is a Wendy’s thing, but damn this is screaming for a Sir this is a Wendy’s kinda thing.
someone paid a lot of money to make this happen
But like, first you seem to be upset at the concept of money, which is silly on the face of it. Second, which part of money exchanging hands are you implying? The original DDoS attack or the blacklisting? And in either case, how is the exchanging of money the primary aspect of the story?
Humans have surpassed the need for value long ago, what are you arguing?
I asked 3 questions. You ignored all 3 and answered with another question also not relevant to the post. You are not to be taken seriously.
Money, an invented concept, because the difficulty of trading 2 cows for 500 bushels of grain to a farmer 100 km away induced people to come up with a better system than bartering you mean?
This is seriously some I’m 13 and this is deep bullshit
Km are just a made up unit, the only unit found in nature is football fields.
Just like murican Jesus intended brother!
AT’s ddos is because of personal reasons.
And the award for the biggest non-sequitur in Internet history goes to… This guy!
What does money buy
Clicks on a website and absolutely nothing else
Exactly, and we worship it
Mmmk, better abandon this “money” experiment. Surprised it only lasted thousands of years, but I’m sure human nature will adapt
jsyk your posts here just hurt the point you’re trying to make.
I strongly recommend you delete and revisit these thoughts and restructure them so you’re not being told “sir this is a wendies”.
In old Aztec lands, it was a crime to pass counterfeit cocoa beans. They used them as a medium of exchange.
and what did it mean? what people believed it to mean
Humans believe things. We’re very symbolic animals.
