************************************************************************************ I'm not sure if they lost value, for some reason people lost interest in them, it may have been because Bitcoin kept fluctuating. I created some digital artwork that I was going to put on the galleries but it was too involved, I had a bunch of other things going on, and then I heard that people lost interest so I didn't pursue it. But I still have all my artwork and it doesn't take long to make more. It's just a hassle getting it onto the platforms because you have to mint it and go through a bunch of rigmarole. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Troy I think it's great that you are making money with AdSense. I have never used it on any of my sites, I typically monetize with affiliate product links. Can you tell where the clicks are coming from, because if they aren't coming from the forum section, you might consider disabling it on this part of your site. I am getting ads for stuff I'm not even interested in and I think it might be what is hampering more participation. I wonder what displays the others are getting. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ What!!! You don't know what a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is? These were all the rage a few months ago, and then they weren't, but now they are again. People call them nifty or nifties. Beeple sold an NFT for $69 million ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ I agree with you, but those greedy selfish types do not realize they are doing something wrong because they often have no conscience. This family should be compensated but I doubt that they will receive billions of dollars. I am interested to see how long this will drag on and what the end result will be. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ Maybe current culture can cancel Christmas. Or maybe the eco-warriors could re-use all the crap they got last Christmas by wrapping it in eco-friendly gift wrap paper and pretending that it’s new. They could even re-gift the things they don’t like to their unwitting family and friends. Supply chain shortages, higher prices, unemployment, vaccine mandates, tax increases, loss of Constitutional rights, border crisis, etc. proves that BUILD BACK BETTER IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILED DISASTER! ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @daniellegfny Congratulations. I dabbled in nifties a few months ago. Coinbase is starting its own NFT platform for buying and selling. Check it out. Coinbase ************************************************************************************

W T F??? I don't know what you are trying to convey but it's not working.

************************************************************************************ Why not? How are you, BTW? I came here with my Father who was in the U.S. Army. After I finished getting my education, I got a job working on the Army base. I eventually married a soldier and this is where I stayed. It's not my fault that we have a demented POTUS who doesn't give a care about U.S. citizens' safety or welfare, giving a higher priority to criminal foreigners than he does to Americans. Or that we have a bunch of liberal judges who think that violent criminals shouldn't be locked up or executed. I, and others like me, am an innocent victim. And I should be able to live anywhere within the borders of the United States, feel safe in my home or any other place I choose to be. I shouldn't have to contemplate what life would be like in Wyoming or somewhere. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Cynique I'm pretty sure they do and I'm also pretty sure that you missed my point. How about this: I don't understand why GRANDPA cannot look at comic books without being exposed to Superman's sex life. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ I saw that video where he was stomping on that poor defenseless woman and I heard that he had killed his mother. People like him makes me scared to go outside, and I live in a secluded cul-de-sac. They are letting serial killers out of prison now; people that should have been executed a long time ago. And things just keep getting worse and worse. Trump said that some people coming across our borders are released prisoners that their countries don't want to deal with, and I tend to believe him. I reside near the Mexico border and am seriously contemplating relocating further inland where things might feel safer. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ Of course you are protected by the union either way. I was in NAGE for many years, always paid my dues, I know that I got more help with problems by paying those dues. I have been retired since 2004 so I don't know what's going on with that union right now. But back in the day, we would not have stood for any of what is going on today with the forced/mandated vaccines or any of the other B.S. I am glad that I'm not in the workforce, but I am concerned for others. People's rights are being violated all over the place. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Pioneer1 This might interest you. Not sure if they will ask you to subscribe, this was emailed to me. Judge Orders United Airlines Not to Put Workers Seeking Vaccine Mandate Exception on Leave “United’s actions have left Plaintiffs with the impossible choice of either taking the COVID-19 vaccine, at the expense of their religious beliefs and their health, or losing their livelihoods. In doing so, United has violated Title VII and the ADA by failing to engage in the interactive process and provide reasonable accommodations, and also by retaliating against employees who engaged in protected activity,” the suit states. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ It confounds me that this is going on, and that membership is allowing it, they should not. Are you in a union? Is that what your leadership is telling you. Why has everyone become so complacent? It's like we're all just rolling over for the CCP. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ That has been done already, it's called unionization. For some reason, we aren't hearing from the labor unions on all of this. The mandated vaccinations, the option to work from home, masks in the workplace - all of these issues should be addressed by unions. I have a feeling that people don't understand the importance of being in a union and don't think it's worth paying union dues. Having been a union member throughout my career, I know for a fact that the benefits far outweigh the costs. If there was more union involvement right now, some of the nonsense that employers are doing wouldn't be happening. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ My favorite song from them is 'Start Me Up' and I never paid much attention to this one.

************************************************************************************ It doesn’t take long to mess up your whole reputation. W.S. shouldn’t have taken that role, plus he made an ooogly ass woman. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ THIS IS DISGUSTING! I don’t understand why five-year-olds cannot look at comic books without being exposed to Superman’s sex life. In addition to that concern, the publishers are providing grooming tools to child molesters. I’ll just leave it at that. For now. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Pioneer1 That picture is old news. They are saying Trump lost weight and he's in great shape now that he doesn't have the weight of being president on his shoulders. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Cynique hasn't divorced herself from anything. Maybe her cat. Yes, I refer to them as whitey on here, but when I'm talking about them in the real world, I call them the "N" word. Honest. I thought you would commend me for calling whitey the "N" word, get off my case. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ What does Black leadership have to do with anything? Non-violent misdemeanors aren't usually arrested, just fined, but I'm not positive since I'm not a criminal. It seems to me that even when people are arrested, oftentimes they are set free anyway. Especially in places like NYC. NYC subway shover was free on assault case thanks to bail reform ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ Joe Biden could become embroiled in the FBI's probe into Hunter's finances, experts say: Emails reveal they SHARED bank accounts, paid each other's bills and president may have funded his son's 2018 drug and prostitution binge Emails Reveal Joe Shared Hunter's Bank Account and They Paid Each Other's Bills ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ I don't know what "we" should do but I use the "N" word all the time. I use it mostly in reference to white people. So I guess my answer would be, yes, we should use the "N" word, but not (only) towards each other. I also think that this might be a good question to inquire of your blog readers. Does your blog have a comments section? ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Pioneer1 I agree with you but police make traffic stops so that they can issue citations. Pulling people over and giving them tickets is their bread and butter. And they probably have quotas to meet. ************************************************************************************
