Currency is a stock. Currency holders are shareholders, investors. Dilution is when a bank issues a loan, reducing the investors' share.

> hyperbole is my favorite medium of communication :neocat_googly:

Eso! Hyperbole, meme, sarcasm, I know of no better tools for dealing with pressure and for communicating ideas, whose perception is hindered by biases and by conflicting "core/identity beliefs"

@icedquinn

You pass the check! The grumpy waiter stumbles back to the counter and returns with the only remaining physical copy of the menu. Under the thick layer of dust you see multiple rows are crossed out with a blue ballpoint pen. Some prices are patched over with white painter's tape, featuring new numbers written by hand in the same colour. It's obviously out of date. It's also in Finnish.

(brought to you by meson not acknowledging `buildInputs = [ python3 ]` with strictDeps)

GNU co-opted "hackers"* into believing in copyright and IP.
