I've had to give this explanation about NFTs and crypto-whatever before so I thought I'd just write it out here, thread to follow

One of the "problems" (if you view it as a problem) of digital goods is that they're inherently infinite. If I make a digital image, I transfer it endlessly, or make a billion copies with relatively little effort and with copies that are indistinguishable from the original.

This is contrast with real world commodities, say, a barrel of oil - if I wanted to get a barrel of oil I'd have to buy it off of someone else that had it or go put in the work (or pay someone else to do the work) to dig up a barrel of oil for me.

if privatisation is so great then how come every one of my parcel deliveries handled by a private courier manage to have some kind of crippling flaw in the process

This time I ordered a couple of things from Bed Bath & Beyond for the kitchen and somehow FedEx has simultaneously managed to deliver it four days ago and also not deliver it so. whee.

Fuck if I know what the premium cost of private courier service covers, lol, it ain't fuckin delivery

Yo, @Patreon, mind if you explain why I only ever find out about this kind of crap from people yelling on Twitter?

@Patreon Why don't you ever ask us prior to announcing it to some special select people? Why don't you ever ask ANYONE in advance? Is a five-minute survey or a tweet just way too difficult or am I missing something here?

Do you guys not fucking remember that time you absolutely wrecked $1 pledges as a fun Christmas present in 2017, which managed to wipe out 20% of my income in a lovely sweep and that took me nearly a YEAR for me to recover that shit?

A fascinating thread, and as a fellow Japanese person it's interesting to see how Yellow Peril manifests itself in the worst way possible as the genre gets more co-opted by western corporate powers

https://twitter.com/wouldhaus/status/1338419857541328896?s=20

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Yellow Peril refers to the racism and phobia of East Asia, which was characteristic of western countries in the 20th century (ironically, since this was also the age of Orientalism and Japonisme)

While Yellow Peril can and does refer to anti-Asian immigration laws and then internment during WWII, it does extend out to very uncomfortably recent times...
