Welcome to @infinitepillars! Today, we're posting our first blog-piece, written by @smolgrrr- it's a quick discussion of the connection between NFTs and Art, plus value of digital art to society. Hopefully a fun, light read link.medium.com/sVXvc58hPmb

@billelis You made the john wick movie poster??

A massive thank you to all the clients we have had the pleasure of working with as a studio over the years 💛🤘🏻💛

@OwnNothingBFree @KentoInami @_mR_sAt_ made me rethink my whole life plan on the spot

@OwnNothingBFree @KentoInami @_mR_sAt_ that’s part of the plan. I actually wanted to live here but during my studies, me and a french friend with 0 experience, average student applied to the same company (i have way more xp than her + international xp in 3 countries) she was called for an interview and i wasnt

I feel bad for Europe. They pushed for aggressive immigration but didn’t get the economic benefits that the US receives from more innovation. There’s just way more mayhem and riots in Europe for no return.

@KentoInami @OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ « In some cases, the coefficient can be the same for countries with different income distributions but equal levels of income. » Seem to be the case here no?

@infinitepillars @OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ I think what confuses me is that France GDP per capita is about the same as Japan so absolutel wealth doesn’t seem like a good reason for the difference in all these problems. Also look at Gini coefficient, it’s about the same. #france" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wisevoter.com/country-rankin…

@OwnNothingBFree @KentoInami @_mR_sAt_ I was in Canada before but fumbled the bag kek

@OwnNothingBFree @KentoInami @_mR_sAt_ it would be easier for me to get citizenship here since i studied 2 years in French Uni (Their fast-track path to citizenship for skilled workers is good tbh)

@KentoInami @OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ That is possible, I understood monetary punishment from capital punishment.

@infinitepillars @OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ Why is it hard to enforce? Can’t you throw the rioters into jail?

@KentoInami @OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ + benefits have so much conditions (one of which is looking for a job + proved) service-public.fr/particuliers/v…

@infinitepillars @OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ Maybe it’s a biased selection group because the people who decide to move to France for benefits are the people who are likely to riot. A solution is to reduce the benefits, but that is politically difficult now.

@KentoInami @OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ oh i agree but hard to enforce, current politicians target their families so it’s double punishment (which i dont think is fair)

@infinitepillars @OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ Another solution is stricter capital punishment. People do tend to respond to incentives

@OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami THIS^ this was the point of my initial venting. It’s not manichean, root causes complex and it’s not as easy as blaming it on immigration. + it leads to ppl like me, who have nothing to do with banlieues and identity conflicts, yet have to participate in debate for our future.

@infinitepillars @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami I do think very little progress has been made in two decades while there's been more attention on fixing the issue than ever before. Why? I have no idea. It's clearly multifactorial and complex. Otherwise the issue wld have been solved a long time ago.

@OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami never happening in Morocco, even during 2011 protests nobody targeted private property (nor public one as a matter of fact) it’s a european problem that is overlooked (by saying it’s a foreign pb imho)

@infinitepillars @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami It don't think you're excusing them, nor wld it matter for the argument. I have no idea why anyone wld riot and burn his neighborhood -- in any situation.

@OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami police part, i never had issues in 3 years in France so i cant comment from personal experience + never researched the topic

@infinitepillars @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami I'm just not buying the point of political neglect, police discrimination, bad housing etc. Whatever issues there are, these immigrants live better lives in France than their parents' countries imo.

@OwnNothingBFree i personally believe that there should be culturally + socially mixed neighborhoods, more sanctions against job discrimination based on ethnicity and at this stage lower unskilled immigration to handle already existing crisis.

@infinitepillars That last part I agree with. I think immigrant children shd be accepted as full citizens.

@OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami Just as a disclaimer, I’m not excusing what they’re doing, we discussing to find root causes. since i dont see them in the origin country, what are they according to u?

@OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami Just this shows an issue - get no job - grow up in crime infested zones - feel hated for a thing you cannot change - have nowhere to go back to since you only know the country you were born in.

@OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami like even now idc about the protests but i know i’ll be paying the price for it. shit gets frustrating and now i have to participate in a public discourse i dont want to be part of because i know the consequences will be part of my life.

@OwnNothingBFree @_mR_sAt_ @KentoInami I came 3 years ago and already faced job discrimination twice, got annoyed with public debates abt my culture & religion or anything remotely linked to it. I was in one of the best private schools in Morocco, come from a middle class, went to a French uni, among top of my class
