mircea_popescu: "hey, i'm just as stupid as him, but at least i'm not fat!"

mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, lift the washington monument, realign jupiter, fill the mariane gap, cover the usg deficit

mircea_popescu: which i suppose makes me the perfect storm of a horribru father (as per reddit) : the cross between "absent and physically abusive military father." and "coke snorting, random hooker banging, land development dealing father."

mircea_popescu: cuz i suspect this is the deep reason asciilifeform doesn't want offspring. i tell you if the 19 yo snot that imagines he's better than me (like you know, every single fuctkared 19 yo snot "being famous in the bitcoin community" etc that we see here periodically bubble up his idiocy and then six months later fail abjectly and disappear) actually grew up in my house, i'd shoot it to death with blunt toothpicks.

mircea_popescu: only fucktarded teens think this way, but then again i guess that's what they are.

mircea_popescu: i can tokenize strings too you know!

mircea_popescu: i've done neither. i've also not laid eggs, nor have i been a steel girder to "see what it's like" for rebar.

mircea_popescu: "this person sucks because of his sucky environment" "yes, that is exactly what i was saying : that this person is an empty vessel. he contributes nothing from inside."

mircea_popescu: Sometimes I give an extra item to people I especially dislike, or go out of my way to compliment them. Many people, given a chance, will be friendly, even if they're often quick to anger/lash out otherwise."

mircea_popescu: "I'll post this in my next story, but a line said by a lady I very much admire that has stuck with me: "Those who are the least likeable are also the most in need of your help."

mircea_popescu: "And on through eeeeeevery item. "I'm just gunna take two milks." "No, you aren't, unless that second milk is worth being thrown out of this food bank." And on. And on. Really, people end up with several bags of food anyway. Provided they take the "wimmin food" like fruit and peanut butter."

mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/fatpeoplestories/comments/32ze1v/working_in_a_food_bank_i_am_a_useless_piece_of/ << myeah, if average donor had an idea what the beneficiaries are like, they'd donate warm lead.

mircea_popescu: i dunno dood. even ncos manage to get azn chicks pregnant.

mircea_popescu: i dunno, just looking around.

mircea_popescu: We are not ready to talk about what it will do yet. I will only say that when we launched Paybase we did it backwards. We build the software but did not have the financial relationships in place to support our goals (finished and tested deals with card networks, FIAT to crypto licenses, banks fully committed to supporting us, etc)."

mircea_popescu: "In cooperation with CoinStand, I will be launching a new version of Paybase. For now I call it Paybase2.

mircea_popescu: i never saw it anywhere else.

mircea_popescu: (i think alf may recognize that window gauze)

mircea_popescu: well then i guess tashkent

mircea_popescu: <ascii_lander> ben_vulpes: only pointing out that i, for example, would rather eat nagant than raise offspring << suppose pet lets you in on her secret : she's pregnant. what now ?

mircea_popescu: anyway, the "i'll feed her and we'll see" plan is not really all that bad.

mircea_popescu: HOWEVER! I do have some pretty good questions.

mircea_popescu: i certainly do not propose i am in possession of answers to the world's problems.

mircea_popescu: for teh experience, i imagined.

mircea_popescu: wait, so basically your plan is "whatever, i'll feed her, maybe she meets some guy that trains her" ?

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i have no idea. maybe. you think ?
