I'm a furry, so I'm going to use an example that is familiar to me. Apologies if you dislike furries. Also note that, as far as I am aware, the general opinion of furries is strongly against blockchain.

So, some setup:

• I have a character. I pay artists to draw art of my character.
• There is a... subgroup among furries that do not get art of their own, and instead use other people's art as avatars/profile pictures for erotic roleplay.
• I would prefer that I am the only one using my character's art as profile pictures (erotically or not.)
• Some furries sell their characters and associated art to other furries.

Here's how NFTs would actually be useful:

Whenever an artist draws some art, they mint an NFT and transfer it to the character's owner. Now that owner can prove to whatever roleplay websites that they officially have permission from the artist. The roleplay websites would need to allowlist artists for this to be effective.

You could (partially) solve this with PGP or some other non-blockchain cryptographic tool. What NFTs offer above this is that there is only one current owner. That makes it possible to safely transfer ownership of a character to someone new.

I'm going to need to see a reenactment or video before I believe this.

Time to swap it out for an unlabeled one I guess 🤷

Of course. I just think it's important to mention that there are societal reasons why there is a higher percentage compared to the general population of qualified whites applying for a job.

White people are not better at doing anything than other races.

I think this is doing a disservice to one of the goals of DEI. White people are more qualified for certain types of jobs because historically they've had better access to education and healthcare. Even if access has become more equal lately, there are still other barriers that take longer to remove (eg. being the first person in the family to go to university, not having wealthy parents, etc.)

DEI can counterbalance this.

You use cards for offline authentication (bars/festivals/etc.), and use a different process for online authentication.

Proving someone has the physical card in their possession (which is what a reader does) isn't really useful for proving identity when you can't also check the picture.

Let me preface this by saying that I am 100% pro-choice, and that I agree with the spirit of your comment, but...

This argument doesn't work. It's like saying "if you believe in the value of human life, don't go on a murder spree."

These people legitimately believe that aborting a fetus is just as wrong as killing a child/adult, and that it is their moral duty to prevent all types of murder.

TIL! Guess I saw the reverse once, and it's stuck with me. Carry on.

Sexist is probably the second word I'd use for Ferengi, after greedy.
