Originally posted by Kingoffrogs Lanny doesn't care about the site a lot, his moderation policy is lassaiz-faire.
It's actually Marxist-Lannyist
Lannyism:
Core Principles:
Self-Reliance and Independence
Harmonious Development
Ideological Sovereignty
Non-Interference in Natural Processes
Economic/Authoritarian Axes:
Economic Axis: Lannyism promotes economic self-reliance and independence, similar to Juche. It emphasizes the development of domestic resources and self-sufficiency while striving for harmonious and sustainable economic growth.
Authoritarian Axis: Lannyism's position on the authoritarian axis can vary depending on its interpretation and implementation. It may lean towards a centralized leadership style, focusing on protecting ideological sovereignty and ensuring a harmonious society based on Daoist principles.

2024-05-02 at 7:04 PM UTC in HEY LENNY!!!!and that's the other problem is YOU are expected to KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER and KNOW that transaction #12f39481 came from "KillAllFeds1488" and he lives at The FBI Ranch 3019 Embry Loop. Quantico, VA, United States and here is his fingerprint and an anal swab that's 72 hours fresh and we have a tiny camera implanted in his arm, because that's what's expected of every person that does any transaction for even a penny with a bank, crypto or CASH ESPECIALLY CASH WHICH IS WHY CASH IS EVIL because DO YOU KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER?? who is "KillAllFeds1488", what is their motivations?
It's a stupid system because "KillAllFeds1488" could just be some retard and he shows you his ID and then it's no big deal, and it NEVER WAS A BIG DEAL IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU JUST WANTED TO SEE HIS ID!!!! because they are all snooping kikes that like to watch -

If you wanted to include it on your taxes you would have to generate the receipts yourself by hand. The GLOBAL KIKE SYSTEM is designed in such a way that receipts are usually auto generated so people can just save them to make it easier at tax time which is why crypto is a "problem" because it's up to anyone using it to report their income and generate receipts and keep track of that, but the meme is "lol paying capital gains tax on crypto" because how the fuck would they ever find out?
And the question of does it even count as income when the government can't even decide if it's a security or not makes it impossible to report it as anything because they change their mind on it's legal definition constantly. I think that's where a lot of the anti crypto hate online comes from is it's basically the onlyfans whores tax evasion on hyper steroids being done by reddit wallstreetbets zoomers that don't understand anything and think tax evasion is funny (it is) but they kinda ruined it for everyone

Can't prove it. Also it's not illegal to move what's legally defined by the SEC as an unregistered security from one virtual container to another. You are not "sending someone money" you are 'sending them' a network token which may or may not be worth anything depending on the current market. and it's impossible to prove that you sent it to any specific person unless they have the wallet key registered to their ID with a KYC verified exchange
If I bake Lanny a cake and leave it on his doorstep is that a "donation" ? -

Q: What is TOTSE all about, anyway?
A: A lot of people have some weird idea that this web site is a Bad Place, a place for hackers, software pirates, and anarchists. The reason that they think this is that there are informational text files on here about hacking, piracy, and anarchy.
However, there are also text files on here that discuss politics; democratic, right wing, left wing, libertarian, communist, and everything in between, but this is not a political web site.
There are files on here that discuss Jesus Christ, Muhammed, Buddha, Crowley, John Smith, and "Bob", but this is not a religious web site.
There are files full of short stories, science fiction, humorous articles, and great works of literature, but this is not a literary web site.
There are files with information on rocketry, radio broadcasting, chemistry, electronics, genetics, and computers, but this is not a technical web site.
This web site is about INFORMATION. All sorts and all viewpoints. Some of the information you will agree with, some you will find shocking, and some you will probably disagree with violently. That is the whole point. In this society we go to schools where there is one right answer: The Teacher's. There is one acceptable version of events: The Television's. There is only one acceptable occupation: The pursuit of money. There is only one political choice to make: The Status Quo.
On this web site you are expected to make decisions all by yourself. You get to decide who and what to agree with, and why. You get to hear new viewpoints that you may have never heard before. On this web site people exist without age, without skin color, without gender, without clothes, without nationality, without any of the visual cues we usually use to discredit or ignore people who are unlike ourselves. All of these things are stripped away and the ideas themselves are laid bare.
You will change. You will transform. You will learn. You will disagree.
You will enjoy it.
CRAZY!
Q: I am a transgender mutant from Planet X and my people are taking over this planet. I need to gather clam shells and pea pods for my intergalactic transmorgrifier. You will pay for your insolence!
A: You're a loon. Seek medical help.
Q: I have PROOF that YOU are SECRETLY ALIGNED with the [FBI / CIA / LDS / Freemasons / NWO / WWF / insert name of favorite bogeyman here]. I am going to EXPOSE your DEVIOUS PLAN for WORLD DOMINATION!
A1: You're a loon. Seek medical help.
A2: Write it up as an article and submit it for publication. We could use a good laugh.

totse.com fully supports holders of legitimate copyrights.
From 1989 until about 1998 I ran a dial-up BBS system called "& the Temple of the Screaming Electron." It was widely regarded as the largest text file distribution BBS in the world.
In those days, if someone wrote something and wanted it to be distributed and read, they'd stick a "freely reproducible" stamp on it, upload their story to as many text file BBSes as possible and hope that people would download the text that they wrote.
The totse.com text file archives have grown since 1989 to encompass over 50,000 text files. The vast majority of these were written for free distribution, to get as wide of an audience as possible. Many of the files are copyrighted by the authors but are also freely distributable as long as credit is given to the author for their words.
Copyright implies ownership of the words. If the copyright holder wishes to make those words freely distributable, that's up to them. Copyright does not mean that something cannot be copied, only that the holder of the copyright reserves the right to decide whether and how something may be copied.
With as many files as people have sent to us, it's entirely likely that there are copyrighted files in our archives which are not freely distributable. It is NOT our intention to pirate copyrighted works. If you spot a page on our web site that is copyrighted and not freely distributable, please e-mail totse.com's Webmaster and include the URL of the page in question. Just highlight the URL on your web browser, then copy and paste the file name into the message you send. Without the file name, we cannot track the file down and correct the problem.
If you personally are the holder of the copyright in question and can prove it, we offer the following remedies:
We can remove the page in question.
Or, if you are willing to send us a letter authorizing our use of your words, we will provide a link from our copy of your copyrighted work to your home page. Since totse.com gets hundreds of thousands of hits per day, this should help to increase traffic at your site as well. Send letters to: totse.com, P.O. Box 5378, Walnut Creek, California, 94596.
