Apologies if this has already been laughed at:

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/143328/bored-ape-instagram-account-hacked-nfts-worth-2-8-million-stolen

Quote
When the Instagram account was accessed, it was used to post a fake update claiming there was a LAND airdrop and users had to connect their wallets to claim the airdrop. This was taking advantage of the Bored Ape roadmap, which includes a metaverse game that will contain virtual land. When users connected to their wallets — and likely approved a transaction — the website stole their NFTs.

This has all the greatest hits of shitcoining - airdrop, instagram, metaverse, connecting wallets to random websites, NFTs... this "hack" is a work of art, pun intended.

Oh and it gets worse: the stolen NFTs are apparently blocked from trading on OpenSea (presumably they can still be sold elsewhere, but I might be wrong about the extent of centralization in this type of shitcoinery).

The sharply increased amount of whataboutism in this thread indicates yet another Russian failure. I feel "phase 3 of the special operation" is coming soon.

This has all the symptoms of an invasion plan/excuse. In addition to the OP:

  • Russian FSB/propagandists are spreading rumors than Moldovan army is basically taken over by Romanians/NATO (most officers allegedly are from Romania etc).
  • Russian military blew up a bridge in Ukraine that basically cut off the region between Black Sea and Moldova (see the map in the OP) from mainland Ukraine, possibly making it easier to invade Moldova from Black Sea (without going through Odessa)

However given the failure of the Russian forces to make siginificant progress in Ukraine over the last two months and their massive losses, it's unclear how much they can commit to yet another invasion and another front. It would seem reckless. Then again, so did the whole shitshow from the beginning.

Edit: added links.

Internet often distorts these things, e.g. it may seem that there are more liars around... but in the end it's still about surround yourself with people that you can trust.

From an evolutionary perspective though, persistent liars will be selected against, and people with a tendency for habitual deceit will gradually be weeded out of the gene pool... this is because we have memory, and learn to distrust those who always deceive. Reciprocal altruism is a cornerstone of our success as a species, and if you always behave in an untrustworthy way, then you lose its benefits.

It can work the other way too, can't it? For example, politicians and business people tend to lie a lot but have no problem reproducing, and often hold an edge over hoi polloi. I can imagine an outcome where the species is dominated by liars. I don't think we're anywhere near that or moving significantly in that direction, and if it were to happen it would basically kill any kind of progress (Soviet Block comes to mind, where deception, corruption, and theft was rampant), but it is in theory possible.

People have grown so accustomed to lying in their daily lives that in spite of being an honest person, I find that most people take what I say as not being truthful. Try telling my story at a bar sometime… I’ve literally been laughed at for saying things I don’t even think are hard to believe. I imagine if I told my entire story, 999 out of a thousand people would call me a liar. Want to see this in action? I’ve been giving away Bitcoin on a weekly basis for 10+ years now and people still call my organization a Ponzi scheme and I’ve even been left negative trust for my good deeds, because the reality that I’ve been giving up so much money for so long when I didn’t have to seems too hard to believe to be true for most people so they assume it’s a lie. Funny how human nature works. People are quick to put their own immoral beliefs on others and assume that everyone is as shitty a person as they are. The sooner in life you learn this, the better.

None of the negative ratings you got are for "giving away Bitcoin" or "good deeds", and most refer to documented untrustworthy actions. E.g. collecting Bitcoin to begin your scheme under a guise of "investment" and then renaming it to some sort of charity when the abysmal ROI of said investment became obvious. Speaking of lying, you do realize that your trust ratings are public, and so are the references? Why do you lie so blatantly about something so easily visible? Rhetorical question.

On the helicopter thing, I am not saying this is not accurate information, but I wonder why was the helicopter not able to leave the ship?

This is Russia we're talking about... single cruiser loitering around hostile cost and spontaneously catching fire... the helicopter sliding off the ship when it was listing would be quite in character.

However the sonar pictures might be fake so take it with the requisite amounts of salt.

No matter how many tanks you have, you can't take with 50,000 soldiers a city of 3 million that doesn't want to fly the white flag. Even now, Russia does not have a numerical advantage in Ukraine, this operation is technically impossible - and therefore it will be included in military textbooks.

I love how you flip-flop between "Putin's army is invincible" and "Ukrainians are so many and so mean", sometimes in the same post.

I have already said above that the attack from the north was a diversionary tactical maneuver - in order to pin down the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kyiv, which now cannot help in the Donbass

LOL... so Ukrainians couldn't move from Kyiv to Donbas in the ~3 weeks while Russians were retreating through Belarus. Nonsense.

and in order to quickly take control of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and exclude possible provocations by Ukraine with radioactive contamination of the area.

And then they gave the control back to allow Ukraine to do the "provocations"?

Russia is not at war with Ukraine

Your reenactment of 1984 in its full gas-lit glory is not going to work on anyone. It's a war. Military forces of one country invaded another country. War.

You don't follow the dynamics of events very well. It seems that 80+% of all Ukrainian tanks and planes were destroyed in the first few days

So what does that say about Russian forces if they had to retreat from Kyiv and are stuck for 2 months elsewhere against < 20% of Ukraine's military equipment?

Or is it perhaps possible that Russian propaganda is full of lies?

1229  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: April 25, 2022, 08:58:00 PM
According to Russian Ministry of Amazing Stories (thanks, paxmao) they are destroying ~40 Ukrainian tanks per day on average. Probably more these days because supposedly there is this big "Battle of Donbass" going on. So the 200 will last... 5 days?
You lie so shamelessly that I start to think that you are from Poland lol.  Grin

Destroyed Ukrainian tanks are now rarely included in the reports of the Russian Defense Ministry. It seems that recently there was an attempt to break through in the Kharkov region on 10 tanks, 8 of them were destroyed. And so I don’t even remember that in military reports recently it was about tanks. A tank is an inconvenient target for a missile strike, I think they are more often burned from Ka-52 Alligator helicopters during combat missions.

Tanks or other armored vehicles - 2400 destroyed in 60 days comes to ~40 average per day. If you're saying that they don't destroy as many recently, then it means they must have destroyed even more in the early days of the war, perhaps even before the foreign shipments arrived... meaning what? Ukrainians have been holding Russian offence even longer with their 6... well, not even tanks, it's like one tank, one BTR, two howitzers, and two BMPs according to the propagandons Grin

You seem to have tangled up in your pretzel.

Or perhaps Russian propaganda is full of lies.

I share your characterization of him.
But as far as we know he privately holds Bitcoin (not the Tesla btc)... And probably more than most peeps on the WO.

For me a Bitcoiner (or a bitcoiner like you seem to prefer writing it) is someone who privately holds bitcoin.
What's your definition ?

Fair enough. However I would hesitate to call someone a bitcoiner if they shit on Bitcoin every chance they get, and promote a meme coin as better than Bitcoin, as well as some borderline scammy Doge knock offs. In other words, I don't see how this specific context (Twitter purchase) could be good for Bitcoin. It's probably good for Doge, which is up 20% today.
1231  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 25, 2022, 07:50:47 PM
Even though I often think he is full of shit, it's good to have a Bitcoiner own that huge social network.

Elon Musk is not a "Bitcoiner". Nor a bitcoiner. Just an attention-whoring vacuous dolt who needs his own "special media" site to soothe his narcissism.
1232  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: April 25, 2022, 07:16:20 PM
The Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia together sent about 200 T-72 tanks

According to Russian Ministry of Amazing Stories (thanks, paxmao) they are destroying ~40 Ukrainian tanks per day on average. Probably more these days because supposedly there is this big "Battle of Donbass" going on. So the 200 will last... 5 days?

Pretty much every one of Kremlin lies about their great victories in this war makes no sense because at the same time they have to invent new reasons why Ukrainians are holding their ground. And driving around Moscow with swastika t-shirts apparently. While negative Bayraktars are bending spacetime and crashing in Kursk.

Ukraine still has a very impressive arsenal of weapons and ammunition, even considering the very serious losses after two months of demilitarization.

Which one of you is lying?

The DPR said that Ukrainian troops no longer have enough ammunition

Careful, don't get arrested for spreading non-Kremlin-approved information.
1233  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: April 25, 2022, 05:21:52 PM
Isn't it amazing how Ukrainians are able to hold the Russian forces with their six remaining tanks.
For some reason, you forget or ignore the military assistance of Western countries

How many tanks did they send?

He must really hate @ElonJet! He could have paid the kid the $50k he asked instead of the $5k he offered, but his ego was too big. It's a classic joke though, spending $50B to delete the kid's account Cheesy

That's the thing, $50k would have been out of his own pocket, $50B is OPM (Wall Street loans etc).
1235  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: April 25, 2022, 04:45:49 PM
Hey, at lest they didn't teleport tanks inside Moscow to ride over civilians or made up Ghost of Moscow to destroy 127 Ukrainian planes

You're literally quoting a post with links to a made up "terrorist plot" but your take from that is... they didn't make something else up? Roll Eyes

Does this sound better:

Since the beginning of the operation, 99% of tanks and other armored vehicles of Ukraine have been destroyed (2410 out of 2416 vehicles that were in the Ukrainian troops on February 24)

Isn't it amazing how Ukrainians are able to hold the Russian forces with their six remaining tanks.
1236  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: April 25, 2022, 04:14:48 PM
Do you think that Ukraine is not involved in the explosions in Bryansk? Then it is doubly incomprehensible to me why you are dragging offtopic into this topic, and even falsely accusing me of this when I talk about the role of Poland in this story (which, in my opinion, is very interesting and quite significant).

Two possibilities that I think are most likely: Ukrainians did it; or corrupt Russian generals are trying to mask the extent of their corruption in the face of humiliating failures in Ukraine (see all that fuel... it burned, we definitely didn't steal half of it before this unfortunate fire). Either way this is a direct consequence of the war in Ukraine.

So is the alleged "plot" - a very clunky attempt by FSB to deflect from the real news... I mean seriously, a t-shirt with swastika on a secret mission in a foreign country? LOL

Now please find something "incriminating" about Finland or Monaco because obviously they're involved somehow.


1237  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: April 25, 2022, 03:38:13 PM
I have not seen reports that Ukraine claimed responsibility

I didn't say it did. However Russian propaganda destroyed two more TB2s (negative 10th and 11th I think) and also uncovered a secret Ukrainian plot to kill one of the esteemed propagandists. Same "plotters" were also planning to set army recruitment offices on fire, which is very convenient because such fires have been happening recently so now propaganda can blame Ukraine. Oh and the "plotters" had Hitler's photo with them. Just think about that one for a moment.

Normally I'd say people who read all that shit and think "yeah, this sounds plausible" must be utter morons, but this being Russia I guess we can make an allowance for extreme brainwashing.
1238  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 25, 2022, 02:42:26 PM
But there are so many ways that this has the potential to go in a positive direction.

There isn't really any positive potential. Musk is a narcissistic authoritarian. People who think Twitter is now being "censored" might like the new direction, but it's just going to be same shit on a different shovel, or he'll 4chan it.

I see they supplied you with new material so that you wouldn't have to talk about faulty wiring and danger of smoking.

However projecting Putin's imperial delusions on other countries doesn't really work well outside of Russian propaganda space. Russian Federation is the aggressor. Not Poland. Stay on topic, comrade.

Unlike the alleged helicopter attack in Belgorod a few weeks ago, this is much deeper in Russian territory (~15 miles vs ~70 miles).

It's not a Ukrainian attack, stop posting propaganda. This is a normal fire that happens from time to time in oil depots. Most likely this time it was human error. Oil is very flammable and tends to cause problems from time to time. Brave Russian firefighters are dealing with it.

I know you're being facetious, but I was hanging out in some Russian TG channels this morning and it's a bit of a mess there...

"When is Putin finally going to start a real war?"
"This can't be Ukraine, this is NATO attacking us"
"Why didn't they appreciate our good will gesture (retreat from Kyiv)"
"Let's nuke Kyiv"
"Let's nuke Poland"
"Mobilization" (ok, that one is just Girkin)
