mircea_popescu: then they're not really needed.
mircea_popescu: kids must know they're fully available and will be used.
thestringpuller: I was never beaten as a kid, but I learned to respect mah folks.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu I don't know if you've seen Chappelle's Show, but there is this episode where this "white family" gives timeout to this hoodlum kid for "mouthing off". So he goes up to his room picks up a dirty mag and says, "timeout rules"
jcpham: is this the official channel of all things bitcoin divisible as an asset
jcpham: birth to death, blah
jcpham: they teach you that you know nothing thing
jcpham: yeah ilearned that too
thestringpuller: kids just think they're invincible? or are pampered?
thestringpuller: meh when I was 19 I learned what "know thyself" truly meant, in conjunction with to truly learn you must admit you know nothing and always seek answers
mircea_popescu: actually those who think so are moslty 19
thestringpuller: (referring to blog post I just skimmed)

thestringpuller: when you control the btc market mircea_popescu give me one whitehouse intern
mircea_popescu: no, just, random idiot is a little less prone to start running his mouth for fear she might "troll him"
mircea_popescu: jurov so therefore the girl is actually helping you lol
jurov: <mircea_popescu> im not doing anything on reddit, so that might be a good spot... loool you forgot what i wrote yesterday? reddit reception was much worse than btctalk
thestringpuller: would you be open to that mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3413928&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=166 << there's a good thread :D
mircea_popescu: jurov : you might try SA forums.
jurov: no, i never planned that. just add it to relevant topics
mircea_popescu: tho iirc it's mostly btc-hostile (apart from btc people trying to keep a foothold)
mircea_popescu: im not doing anything on reddit, so that might be a good spot.
mircea_popescu: (as in, excuses as to why they either don't have the money or the interest to trade, not causes)
mircea_popescu: but in my experience their complaints are fake
mircea_popescu: it's possible a good idea to snipe people who complain about how "difficult" or w./e mpex is,
jurov: but it turned out there isn't anything much outside btctalk
mircea_popescu: jurov well i can tell you forum advertising has a horrible roi
jurov: any ideas where it's good to market? at first i have tried to find any doscussions about mpex
mircea_popescu: i recall kakobrekla complaining about poor smpake uptake a few weeks ago too, for that matter. i doubt it has anything to do with the girl.
thestringpuller: you may have to market
jurov: the response to coinbr announcement was very poor so far. and i feel mpoe-pr isn't exactly helping.
smickles: jurov: heh, no need to be sorry. There's a lot of uncertanty out there
thestringpuller: looks like jeff didn't like mpoe-pr's "trolling" on the forums
mircea_popescu: i'm sure the tech people will at some point get over their inertia, do their research etc.
jurov: yes. he was prolly referring to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=118679.msg1276480#msg1276480
thestringpuller: jeff garzik the kernel dev?
smickles: anyone here interested in the s²cm financial report?
jurov: mircea, when thinking about the three groups of bitcoiners, do you realize MPOE-PR repulses not just the idiots, but also many aspies as well?
mircea_popescu: real men dereference the pointers in the order they created them.
thestringpuller: derefernce all the pointers
jurov: so that there will be lively wall-watching discussions

mircea_popescu: yea that part is problematic.
mircea_popescu: but famously not finance and scammer types
mircea_popescu: tech people don't well distinguish the finance ppl from the scammers
mircea_popescu: scammers don't well distinguish the tech from the idiots
mircea_popescu: actually, this could be a kickass research paper. all the social groups meeting around btc have serious trouble distinguishing the others.
smickles: i think he's about 2000 miles away
smickles: well, in the sense that we live on the same land mass
