OK gang, RC provides the clues, therefore we gotta dig, and in this case I can use some additional sparkplugs (that’s you!).

I was chastising you for highlighting (promoting?) Bitcoin despite every other use of PKC.
As I said, it is an interesting find that Dr. Tit contributed the “Tits Group” concept within the broader “Group Theory” branch of mathematics used in PKC - so good catch. However, PKC’s utilization in e-commerce, NFTs, or even Ethereum (utilized for GME’s NFTs) is far more applicable to Gamestop, with Bitcoin possibly being the antagonist to Gamestop’s investment story, considering evidence suggesting it is being used by financial players as a manipulatable asset (to cover margin?), possibly since 2017 when the price suddenly skyrocketed.
Someone(s) spent a lot of time making a quality Wikipedia page about PKC. Then, per the page’s revision history, someone dropped the word “Bitcoin” to the “examples” list in 2012 - although a seemingly lazy edit at first blush, Bitcoin was just gaining broader awareness in 2012. No other crypto token I searched for was found in the page’s history, meaning nothing else was present but deliberately removed to highlight Bitcoin specifically.
And it’s also possible RC simply included Dr. Jacques’ tit tag as a subtle nod to this community’s “jacked tits” reference from “The Big Short”.
I've been on NAS for just over a year. Nothing has fundamentally changed here since @adam was enthusiastically promoting the site. It's Adam who has changed, and now NAS is possibly getting cancel cultured by a man and his agenda (ironic). I hope this is what Adam really wants because if it happens it could cost him and @Johncdvorak a bunch of coin from disgruntled producers who will rightfully be hesitant to continue supporting the show with time/talent/treasure after this.
I'll give you the benefit of insight as to why I turned on you like a beaten dog.
The first time you ripped me on the show was a precipitate of an interaction between you and I, initiated by yourself.
At the time I had 5 cats, 3 of whom I got from an elderly neighbor who passed shortly after. The eldest was a tiny female named Katie. She was already 17 when I took her in. I probably had her about 4 months?
Well one morning I woke up and found her dead. I live in an apartment and had to wait for my friend Jenny to wake up. I wanted to ask her for permission to bury her in her backyard.
So there I was, utterly beside myself, this tiny creature wrapped respectfully in a towel on my bed. I'd taken the time to bathe her in preparation of relinquishing her for the last time.
I don't even think I mentioned it online because I just don't share intimate details with relative strangers. So I set to distracting myself with the bits and bobs I'd found and posting them.
For whatever reason, you saw it. And you took me to task. "If I want tweets, I'll go to twitter."
For the record, others chimed in before I did. Again, I was in a bit of shock over Katie.
My first reply was exactly this: "I read this in the voice you reserve to mock and scorn letter writers to the show."
By my math, it was fair game. I wasn't in any mood to fight but that's not to say I wanted a golden shower. And I included a real-time gif of me reacting with disappointment.
So your rejoinder was as follows, "No. Posting screenshots of tweets on mastodon is stupid. Its a waste of our resources. A link would suffice. But for sure your face now will trigger me."
At the time, I was still locked out of my Twitter account and had found someone else's clipping of the tweet.
I sincerely was making a joke when I posted the ubituitous screen on twitter asking the user to validate with some 2FA process using a cellphone. I don't own one.
So it was sincerely an attempt at humor when I posted the validation screen and asked, "Can I use your phone number, Podfather?"
"Your humor is about a D-"
At this point I discarded my earlier approach and started the slow but inexorable process of indicating you were perhaps picking on the wrong guy.
I'll admit that "Gettin' heckled by lesbians" was a bit chippy on my pasrt. But I was already chapped by Katie and here you were, making some example out of me and my post.
You surprised me with the reply, "Sucking up won't make me like you."
But I tried calming my tits and came back with, "Credit due. That was a slick rejoinder."
And that was it for you on that thread.
The rest of us discussed Twitter. Someone asked me why I had denied their follow request.
The date was January 21st, 2023.
I would've forgotten it but it stuck in your craw enough for you to take time out of the donation segment on the next show to tell everyone what a loser I was. So I archived that thread, here: https://archive.ph/fYkwm#selection-2549.0-2549.24
Part of what bothers me is that you aren't actually friendly with us. And on that date it felt like I was 8 with my Dad checking my homework.
The fact is, I know you will burn this place down to get me. And because of that scrum and your, I guess your perfectly reasonable reaction to a post on the subsequent show, my heart turned and I released the docking clamps on my fuck you spaceship, of which I am an excellent pilot.
I am the creator of the much loved 'Five Alarm Curry' meme and that interaction was its origin story. Over time it evolved into the 'Flamin' Hot Curry' variant.
I don't have a podcast to rip you with. But you do. And you did. And what's more you did it two more times, molding your perception of me for the audience's use, but it really was to suit your needs. We both know that.
Now the thing that made me realize you're actually not a very genuine person and demonstrably mean was your treatment of @lola who committed the cardinal sin of querying why the show didn't touch on Assange much and in such low resolution if you did.
More ad hominems and like clockwork, the next show's donation segment featured you using that retard voice on her.
Her question was perfectly apropos. You treated it and her with nothing short of scorn and disdain. And if you're having trouble manifesting a meaningful recollection, a handy aid can be found here: https://archive.ph/Ho01p
I guess my point is, it's pretty bogative for you to take some high road, claiming others on here overreact and that you're some voice of reason.
I won't belabor this. I took a nap and woke up to being tagged into this thread and thought, "Hey I've got an off-server account, maybe I can read your replies."
Imagine my surprise to find you miming Jesus and blaming everyone else for what's happened in just under a year since.
I sincerely hope your recent conversion provides you the insight to accurately assess this all, your own comportment most of all.
I’ve noticed the nsfw tag being basically ignored/abused
On one meme it’ll have the tag and there won’t be anything even remotely sexual but then the next meme is a naked girl hiding behind something that just covers her tits and it’s not tagged at all
Back in the day, on other forums than this one, there were tags to differentiate between porn (nsfw) and gore (nsfl). This was nice for people browsing new that had no problem seeing tits, but wanted to avoid degloved hands....
Yeah same here. I've just been manually blocking porn communities because I don't want to toggle the NSFW option on.
I made a few posts I'd consider NSFW, but aren't porn related. I tagged them as such and now I'm thinking that even if I wanted to expand my audience, the people that blocked porn wouldn't get to see them anyway.
For the interested, I tried creating a community where people could share interesting medical photos with educational content. So far it's basically just me in it and I want to be able to have the time to post more to see if it catches on, but I dunno that it would anyway.
Edit: There was even a NSFW meme I saw recently that I found funny. I wouldn't want it blocked from me. It's not porn, just a funny photo that happens to have a cartoon dick in it. Good to know not to look at it when at work, but also something I don't mind having on my page.
What I don't want to see on my page is endless furry porn, giant cocks and tits everywhere, etc. when I'm just looking for memes and chat.
Being able to self block entire instances will be super helpful when they eventually add the feature. I have nothing against porn, I just don't want it to be in my feed.
Gently probing those "Jacqued Tits" and finding... Bitcoin? (lemmy.world)
OK gang, RC provides the clues, therefore we gotta dig, and in this case I can use some additional sparkplugs (that’s you!). Dr Jacques is in the books, he’s grabbing his lapel nametag, conveniently located adjacent to his pectoral region, we all thought “ha ha, that’s Jake!” and moved along. But Jacques Tits turns out...
You are the true conqueror of my heart (lemmy.ml)
What happened to NSFL?
Back in the day, on other forums than this one, there were tags to differentiate between porn (nsfw) and gore (nsfl). This was nice for people browsing new that had no problem seeing tits, but wanted to avoid degloved hands....
