In that particular way, yes.

Only /b/ has no rules (There’s actually some rules that are enforced, e.g. no posting illegal content), and that also applies to moderation. As in, a moderator can just ban you for any reason they want.

True, but line isn’t going down yet.

Yes, it’s so far fetched that Anon expects the cops to be called.

Yeah but then if they pass your id and agree to the bribery they’ll give you the 100$? It’s the wrong way around to be bribery.

The bet is that Anon is 24, but if the id says they’re 21, then they’re of drinking age, but still lose the bet, so the clerk gets the money. ID is passed, and money is paid.

See my reply to Krafty Kactus.

It could be constructed as an attempt at bribery. You see, when you bribe somebody, you can’t just go up to them, and tell them “Here’s a hundred bucks, look the other way”. Because, what if you’re an undercover cop? You need to offer the money in a way that offers plausible deniability. So, the next step could be to show a poorly counterfeited id that says you’re only 21, with the implied subtext being, “I’m giving you 100$, but in exchange you don’t look too closely at my false id”. Of course, there’s always a risk that the person you’re trying to bribe doesn’t catch on.

It isn’t sustainable. No clerk will take the bet more than once. Also, the clerk doesn’t have to take the bet to interpret it as bribery and call the cops on you. In addition, there’s the risk of the clerk simply not honoring the bet.

Mistaking the map for the territory. The argument isn’t that bitcoin is bad because it’s used to buy drugs, it’s bad because the network would choke if it even had to handle the economic activity of a moderately sized town.

Your[sic] not discussing anything honestly, your[sic] just derailing and trolling which is PR and Marketing[sic] firms 101 for comment farms and paid bots and it just so HAPPENS your[sic] following that pattern too[sic]. Must be a coincidence there as well.

Do I need to remind you that the title of this thread mentions the Rothschilds by name?

Between the new banking regulations, shell companies, trusts and attorney client privilege they can hide their true wealth and thats how the mega rich do that. Away of the eyes of the common persons ability to even know what’s up

So, basically, you don’t have any evidence. Weird how you keep obsessing about them. Why do they scare you so much?

Why do you even care enough to defend them right now?

You do realize that I’m calling them has-beens.

They are at the center of, or at least concerningly involved with, every major social upset in my country for the last 200 years.

Let me guess, no evidence for any of this?

Never heard anyone defend anyones honor like this without a heck of a reason.

I spent maybe 10 minutes on all my replies in this thread, total. Kinda reflects poorly on you that you consider this a monumental effort.

So let’s hear it or fuck off with what appears to be, at this point, disingenuous and half-assed commentary to derail the conversation away from that whole concept here

Talking about the Rothschilds in a discussion about the Rothschilds is “derailing”, apparently. Weird assessment.

They don’t even make the list of the wealthiest families.

An article which clearly shows that their influence and cohesion has waned since 18th century.

Source?

The Rothschilds wealth did not consolidate.

In Florence. The Rothschields are from Austria.

Even if it’s actually the Rothschilds we’re talking about, that doesn’t mean these guys are from one of the branches of the family where the money is. The Rothschilds got rich in the 18th century, so that’s quite some time for wealth and influence to wane.

Fun fact, but you can’t really do much if the police decide to just take your stuff, because they have guns. And likely more than you do.

Nobody did that by hand even before Gen Ai was invented. Even before photography or computers, there were techniques to get textures without manually drawing them. The splotches, for example, could be accomplished by shaking the brush at the canvas.
