Why is this article written from a third-person perspective?

V0ldek, the largest poster in the Sneer industry, announced a strategic expansion of his big swinging dick. This significant move underscores V0ldek's dedication to advancing Sneer accessibility and efficiency, further solidifying his role as a pioneer in shaping the future of Sneering.

With a dick length exceeding 100cm (according to V0ldek) and a reputation for strategic investments in diverse subreddits, including SneerClub and Buttcoin mining, V0ldek continues to demonstrate his commitment to calling out bullshit.

Also can we talk about the pear image on their job posting?

There's something unsettling about it that I can't quite put my finger on. Actually all the images. Like the weird outer space bubble office one where the pears ended up looking like Dragon Quest slimes or something?


Also also: do not put important information about your job posting inside of a PNG image with no alt tag. Unless you want to drive away blind appli-- ohhhhhh.

regarding the unsettling: the colour toning and "light level" is badly done, for the light in context. they set up the pear to look like a hologram (I guess?), except they fucked up the detail against the very setting they put it in: looks brighter and brighter towards the back, with some detail diffusion, with the one in the front just being "max detail but highly grainy"

does look fucking wild though

extreme wtfery re the job posting

Paolo tends to post colours (red or green) to signal upcoming pumps or dumps. Now you might think that was cartoon simplistic, Paolo must not be very bright, and bitcoin must be quite stupid really, and you'd be correct. Anyway, he has a particular fondness for pear emojis for his green "pump coming" symbol.

fat juicy decadent Really Sweet..... ~~pumps~~ pears

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 6 points 7 months ago

it's also too consistent - they're all copypasta with no variation per pear besides size

See, all this is what academic journals are supposed to provide: pear review.

The key point about this is: Tether never does a damn thing without a gun to its head. So I'm wondering what the gun is here.

[-] gerikson@awful.systems 7 points 7 months ago

Acausal trade with the robot god. Obviously it lost a lot of dough trusting in tethers.

Thus (the foundations of) my directional guesses

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 7 points 7 months ago

Bit late on this grift shift. Wonder what could possibly make them want to look at something other than shitcoins. It is a Mystery.

(But legit, wonder if they’re doing this out of regulatory blast radius fears, or trying to milk different suckers, or…)

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 10 points 7 months ago

I and various others who follow Tether CANNOT work out where the fuck they're going with this. Like, what the fuck even.

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 6 points 7 months ago
