@ernest actually fixed this at one point but it broke again with the big changes last month. I'm thinking he will fix it again sooner or later.

Over the years, the “High Chaparral” torrent achieved cult status among a small group of people who likely keep sharing it, simply because it’s the oldest surviving torrent.

Peter Dinklage is like 1000x better looking and as @ech pointed out is already fully grown.

If I had to pick an actor who looks like Billy Mitchell I'd say Gary Cole.

At first I thought the notorious kbin thumbnail mismatch bug struck again but no.

@shaked_coffee I made an account there and followed a bunch of people, but the federation aspect feels faux to me.

My profile there is basically just a redirect.

You're right and I have since read the article properly.

I'm not a coder, just a casual, but it's interesting, though I still disagree that it's a good way to go.

@Spotlight7573 thanks for the heads up. I'm an idiot.

Yeah I was being a bit of an oblivious dick in my comment.

I still disagree with him though.

I suppose I can grant papal indulgence

Heh love your wording there. I actually started that train of thought with various "relics" like the vial of Christ's blood, statues weeping tears etc some of which were eventually debunked iirc.

Ponzi schemes are quite possibly as old as granaries (or the pyramids), but I think a better contender for scope is something like the Mississipi Bubble which was absolute madness...

Kbin really is a work in progress. I'm sticking with it, but I have backup accounts for the times when it's too buggy.

@FaceDeer

If it's a scam then at this point it's one of history's biggest and longest-running.

Kind of an overstatement. It hasn't even been 20 years. If it were a scam it'd be nowhere near the scale and timeframe of, say, Papal Indulgences.

This isn't anything to do with your wider argument btw, just me nitpicking. Didn't know you'd relocated to fedia.io, was that during the downtime?
