Reddit points aren't redeemable for anything. I think they have a point here

Gravdigr · 03-31-2019, 11:09 AM

Guess I'll be buying m'own liquor for the foreseeable...

There's a shocker.

Kin aren't Reddit points, they are a cryptocurrency from the Canadian startup Kik.

Redditors are working for points with no payoff, this one is similar

Apparently it's a messenger system that as a reward give the Kim to be traded for gift cards. They've been around for 10 years and I'd never heard of them until now, but they just raised over $100 million so they must be doing something right.

Are they a subscription service? Where is the money coming from?

xoxoxoBruce · 04-01-2019, 02:23 PM

No, free. Messenger, dating, shopping, all that shit where they can glean as much about you as possible to sell to advertisers then hit you with targeted ads.

Sure, just ask Elizabeth Holmes.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-01-2019, 03:03 PM

Holmes is from CA, Kik is from Canada. If they were bad it would have probably surfaced in 10 years.

I looked at their web site, and found out that they are for kids. I guess they get their money in the usual ways, branded emojis and GIFs and the like. If they want to fritter their money away on such shit as Kin, then more power to them.

Gravdigr · 04-02-2019, 01:42 PM

I got some Kin I need to get rid of...Cheap...Hell you can have 'em if you'll take 'em...

Man Uses Self As Pulley Counterweight On Tall Building

This is the moment a young daredevil drops from the top floor of a block of flats and smacks his knee against a heavy item he was using himself as a pulley counterweight against.

The incident took place in the southern Turkish province of Adana when the unnamed man was lifting furniture and heavy items up to his new fourth-floor apartment via a pulley.

Paddy!? Is that you?

No idea where, Google and Tineye don't either, it might even be photoshop.
They are driving on the left and apparently just one direction at a time with no center lines. Damifino?

That image hurts. I live at a place where that could happen.
