mircea_popescu: perhaps vaguely interesting to asciilifeform : in the comments of the original article (see
http://trilema.com/2011/europa-crestina-si-alte-aberatii/#comment-71835 etc)
a very familiar mechanism is at work : christian dude (who is otherwise
a very clever, and well respected, commenter there), after exhausting the attempts to plead to authority ("oh you aren't qualified to discuss ; oh merkel is from
a party called chri
mircea_popescu: as to why not anal, firstly because you're probably too young and you'll move suddenly and jerkily like too young people do and hurt her ; and secondly because you live in the sticks and will give yourself an uti because you can't afford condoms ; and thirdly because you'e insane and who the fuck knows what nonsense you'll do with it (the us porn people are
a fine example with their anal desinfectants and bleaching and
mircea_popescu: but in more granular terms, anal is necessarily less stimulating than vaginal simply because the ass is
a U whereas the vagina is
a /\. only one of these is designed to give the penis the sort of stimulation it expects, ie, crescendo. or in other words : no cervix in the colon, and no constrictive muscular reaction to protect an absent cervix in the colon muscles.
shinohai: I mean, he's up there where it's boring all the time. Maybe he doesn't know what great fun it is to snort heroin off
a tranny's cock.
shinohai: Ok, so if your body is
a temple for worshiping god, then you want god to have
a good time, ammi rite?
BingoBoingo: Nah, it is more like
a "blue life" whatever the fuck that is, but apparently billboards are telling me nao that blue lives matter
danielpbarron: shinohai, 1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at
a price; therefore glorify God in your body[
a] and in your spirit, which are God's.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: shinohai: Why does Lucifer run
a bar in LA? Some things aren't for us mortals to sympathize with.
shinohai: Why would
a god even care about my sex life?
danielpbarron: >> Having Oral Sex - no (in marriage, see Song of Solomon) << the "no" is an answer to the question "is it
a sin?"
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Swallowing cum though supports female fertility in
a way that is tied to the specific man cumming
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 04:52:30; BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Can we at least come to
a consensus that oral sex is not
a deviant form of sodomy
BingoBoingo: I think I might be broken on
a fundamental level. Or maybe I'm drunk naked and cold and ought to close the windows...
BingoBoingo: I've been drinking vodka and banging my head against this for about 8 hours nao off and on. I feel way too angry for
a 116/67 blood pressure reading.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: punkman: I'm trying to bring low-s signing to 0.5.x and 0.7.x but the existing shit is in
a worthless different fucking language.
kakobrekla: >at least we have bugs because it means that we're doing something, we're actually innovating whereas
a lot of our competitors don't have bugs because they don't change
☟︎ cazalla: here, not reddit, not an attack, just saying having read daily for what,
a year now, gets
a bit much, spring is in full swing and summer on the way, have
a toddler to play with, need to find
a full job again, something gotta give i guess, the whole bitcoin thing is something i just want to pack up in
a box and look at again in
a year
☟︎ cazalla: punkman, been
a daily thing for almost 3 years for me, just grown tired of it and the conversations about it past few months, i'm not saying "bitcoin is dead" just that i'm tired of talking/reading about it after this long, feel like going to do something else for 6-12 months and looking at it then after
a break
☟︎ HeySteve: I'd rather have cheaper coffee than
a richer online experience but that's just me
HeySteve: Dear Steven, Thank you for your enquiry around the Fold app. We are not currently looking at virtual currency apps as we are focused on creating
a local Starbucks app that will bring
a richer online experience to our customers. Thank you for your interest. Regards, Diana
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Well, our news child is now
a toddler. Imma just trying to get the village involved in its raising
BingoBoingo: Basically only US legal because the scamception involved lets league stakholders pass it off to congress as
a "skill game" and not gambling even though it is scammy gambling
HeySteve: I don't really know the other meaning. people run
a pretend league based on real teams and players?
BingoBoingo: I am abou to pass out and I have
a 'different' perspective on that bezzel would like to see others.

punkman: BingoBoingo: I'm not terribly informed on the situation, but I think I'll do
a followup soon
BingoBoingo: punkman: also weren't you going to write something on Greece being
a failed state like Ferguson at some point? Or is Greece still catching up?
BingoBoingo: punkman: The particular scamcoin failing is not quite news, but
a mechanistic documentation of why this one is failing is news.
HeySteve: perhaps the problem is "say this is
a scam" vs "investigate whether this is
a scam"
punkman: BingoBoingo: well as you said, not sure if it's news. especially considering there's
a dozen or three Ether clones with same exact story
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Writing for qntra is
a solid way for people who think gud, but dun code gud to build #b-
a cred
BingoBoingo: So far October has been an frustratingly boring part of Bitcoin. I am worried though that Qntra is crossing into its second year and people don't want
a giftwrapped chance to write
a first story. Is qntra insufficiently established or does this seem too much of
a trap. I the cost of fucking up in #b-
a seeming too high? I am confused.
☟︎ HeySteve: I did follow the chat
a bit. something about early adopter / investor shares being converted to something else, now an IPO?
HeySteve: I've been looking at BTS for weeks and I've still not reached
a final verdict
BingoBoingo: HeySteve: I don't hava
a handle on it. I'm not sure it is news at all. It is scam on many levels. My only reservation and the source of my disinterest is... I'm not sure actual people are affected
HeySteve: BingoBoingo, problem is I'm not comfortable calling something
a scam until I'm 100% sure
BingoBoingo: I am actually more than
a tiny bit disappointed that I drop for the crowd
a vagina that could queef qntra shares to the extent someone is willing to solidly pump it and... the interest is low
HeySteve: well, it does sound like you have
a better handle on it. I've never even looked at Factom
BingoBoingo: punkman: Because honestly. Actual people aren;t losing their shirts on this. Great chance though for marginally people to work towards becoming actual people by demonstrating
a knowledge of how the scamception works.
HeySteve: mmm sounds like
a lot of research for me to take on right now
BingoBoingo: I want
a piece that says why with appropriate vitriol
BingoBoingo: About 29 hours ago I offered
a challenge people who wanted
a chance to establish
a history of work in La Serrenisima could tackle. Actual takes have been... disappoint.
HeySteve: heh true story. caps comment is
a good eg. of poe's law
BingoBoingo still amazed that the fluffy gene when expressed is
a defect in any breed of dog
☟︎ HeySteve: it's also possible to open the arbitration to
a jury of sorts through hierarchial multisig
HeySteve: if the scheme takes off, it's also
a way for honest landlords to attract tenants by declaring their compliance to
a standard
☟︎ HeySteve: good question. for
a dishonest landlord, there are only disincentives. for an honest one, I'm still considering... obvious option is to require
a larger deposit
HeySteve: didn't know that, punkman, there's clearly
a need for it in the developing world
HeySteve: punkman, it varies. often they overcharge for minor damages or make
a point of being absent when the tenant is required to return the keys
☟︎ HeySteve: when
a landlord retains
a tenant's rental deposit without justification. very common around the world and hard to challenge legally
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Stuff already news'd that you have
a smart commentary on is an opening you have that not many others do.
BingoBoingo: It is an offer of the sort open to
a lot of people in varying degrees. To you it is especially open.
HeySteve: ok excellent, thanks for the offer and I'll certainly take you up on it if and when I find
a good story
BingoBoingo:
A lot of other people seriously undervalue the sort of history you have.
BingoBoingo: It is
a good thing to do. If you see interesting angles on news, feel free to collect some equity in qntra.
BingoBoingo: HeySteve: I know its been
a while since you've abandoned writing for the now collapsing CCN rag. Ever given
a serious though to qntra writing?
BingoBoingo very impressed with Rubio staying Bitbet's favorite repubican candidia. He's got very pretty eyes for
a spic.
BingoBoingo: Alcohol is what makes me so manly I beat the bouncers who wanted to kick me out of forlorn sports bar last Saturday. (I beat them by getting
a block and
a half lead)
trinque is hitting the gym 4 times
a week; what's this "can't help it"
bagels7: But I really really would like
a peace of pie right now at 1 am
BingoBoingo: bagels7: Maybe focus on staying human sized? As
a t-girl that is the bulk of your value proposition, not being an obeast.
bagels7: I'm not BBW yet and I broke up with my boyfriend that apparently had me in
a fattening room
BingoBoingo: Having
a cock still isn't as bad for
a girl as being Obeast bagels7
bagels7: I'm
a good whore because no matter what you do you should do it well, moreover is it not the will of god
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Can we at least come to
a consensus that oral sex is not
a deviant form of sodomy
☟︎ BingoBoingo: But if we are merely considering
a potentially viable womb all of
a sudden 2/3 of the Mayogendered will plead fertile
danielpbarron: i can't imagine it gets more stimulating than
a real live fertile womb in which you can grow
a baby
brg444: has anyone here had
a look at "Confidential Transactions" ?
mircea_popescu: "why not call the natural history museum, offer them the first horse with
a collarbone."
mircea_popescu: one of the better jokes in veterinary school, head prof goes in eager beaver pathology class, "i'll put one case to you boys... suppose my horse gets
a fractured collar bone. what do you do ?"
shinohai: The "loose shoes" comment reminds of
a very racist joke, kek
mircea_popescu: for one thing he doesn't even have
a conception of work whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: if i had to guess - and i can do no better than guess, da fuck i know - i'd imagine the celebrated "what
a nigger wants is loose shoes, tight pussy and
a warm hole to shit in" is
a lot closer to what that guy [pars pro toto] wants than "masturbation that looks like work".
mircea_popescu: NOT being guilty of that probably scores you high for psychopathy or some shit, because that's the thing with socialization : being
a very far outlier in your environment, even if you are right by some measure, still makes you
a very far outlier.
mircea_popescu: ah, it didn't feel out of place. it was just... you know, trying to point out this is
a very bad measuring stick. "fish is wet" well... it'd better be.
mircea_popescu: word. wants
a) masturbation but b) that looks like work. there, el consumidor, fully described.
shinohai: "But simultaneously, the act of reinterpretation changes us." <<< No shit. Read the instruction manual for #b-
a and see how you feel about bitcoin in 6 months.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> the overarching picture in my mind is that bitcoin would scarcely look any different if it had been designed by вредители << It gets worth Anytime I look at something interesting comparing between 0.5-0.7 and 0.9 and later at some point Gavin has refactored every fucking thing into
a different retarded language that is precisely NOT the Bitcoin dialect of C++
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no see, that's the beauty of it. yes that's right, and it never occured to me before that could be
a good thing.
mircea_popescu: for that matter splitting
a 31 bit paload in
a 32 bit envelope into "odd/even" or "upper/lower" is, intuitively, the same damned thing. or should i say "from
a theoretical, numeric persepective". why does it make
a difference ?
mircea_popescu: (this is really why this is such
a triviality. so min er x no longer accepts old style txn ? costs fifty cents to put
a muxer in between)
BingoBoingo: Oh, of course Gavin had to refactor key.cpp so changes we might want to play with now are in
a practically different language.
mircea_popescu: so in that sense... if there's
a superclass fix, and we find it, good. if not, entrenching around this seems
a waste of time.
