lol i didn't have anywhere else to post this, but yesterday i was doing a job with a family friend who I don't talk to much. Anyways he started out this conversation randomly talking about crypto and said a few neutral things in the start, "it's sorta interesting" "a lot of people seem to think it's the new gold rush" etc... he wasn't fawning over it, so i was trying to gauge where he was going. Then he goes, "you know, the thing with crypto is, it uses a lot of long pause..." and in this moment i almost blurted out, "a fuckton of energy, resources and pollution" and i'm sorta glad i didn't because he finished it by saying "a lot of interesting technology. but this new coin tetcha (it's called theta) has got to have to coolest tech." then he talked my ear off for a solid 20 minute drive and i was thinking about doing a barrel roll out of the truck on the freeway the rest of the time. god, genX boomers love to talk about shit they know nothing about like it's the second coming of jesus.
