I'm 60% sure (I am not a real economist) it'll change the exchange rate of either currency and that has enough effect on the money supply to not necessarily cause inflation.
Grain of salt please.
I'm mostly confident because usually when something like this happens usually everyone actually benefits, the neoliberals cum everywhere at once and Kekkonen smiles down from the heavens.

I don't think it quite works like that, they're paid in Yuan/renminbi.

Yeah... All those ads you'll never see. So much waste.

Thus why we probably won't stop blocking "ads" because most of them are malware

Yes.
Most ideas can eventuate into something dangerous, we only really continue to learn if these ideas are not absolute and flexible to change. Basic scientific method stuff, reminds me of high school...
> Does misinterpreting it actually do anything? I don't think so.
Interesting question and it makes me wonder if I answered your first question. Probably not? Nihilism has a best case of everything is meaningless, so let's party. Assuming this is even ideal, surely there's many other ideas that lead there convincingly?
Is nihilism pragmatic to you? As in, does this make you happier? If not, flexibility might.

Two questions.
Is pay walled content allowed here?
Also, is it fair to accept a philosophical idea would have absolutely zero relevance or persuasiveness* for portions of the population? Say it's an idea likely catalysed by a biological urge which is then interpreted at, say, a figure who is then philosophised about?
If so, for this idea to work you would need to be biologically similar (half the population, plus or minus 4 to 15%), but also you would need to have those similar figures in your life. With fewer and fewer of these factors, the idea catalysed by these life experiences would have less effect.
Finally, could an idea become better* if it weren't so clearly personal?

Reply to comment by worstusername_sofar in Call for dating apps to require criminal checks as Australian government plans summit on safety by ihavestrings
Come to think of it, if women want (or are okay) to date criminals then shouldn't we let them? It does seem immature to glorify anti social behaviour but it's not for us to get involved with how they move past that. That's their life.
Criminal checks for dating sounds like you want to make it impossible for people who've served their time to date, I can't agree with that.
I don't like sleazy ex cons dating ridiculously young women but, again, none of my business.
