mircea_popescu: trinque > jurov: ^ that about covers it << seriously,
reddit, who cares.
mircea_popescu: who knew
reddit actually becomes funny after a year or so.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo jesus christ the deluge of verbiage from these people. that two line call-out in #bitcoin-dev has produced almost a million lines of derpage, on irc, on
reddit, on personal blogs, everywhere.
williamdunne: 20:09:56 - mircea_popescu: <mike_c> how is the being passed over without comment? Real actual bitcoin hosting! very cool. << i shudder at the thought of what'll happen once
reddit & all gets wind of it. <<< what is this?!
mircea_popescu: yet there's bout to be some "what do you mean my 10 dollah gift certificate/
reddit gold/whatever doesn't buy me anything!111"

mircea_popescu: srsly, "not evil but good" "not
reddit as much" ? incredible how stupid forms fucking stupid crystals.
btcdrak: thank you. I just found this channel by following some links in the blocksize discussion on
reddit.
trinque: which more or less seems like google ==
reddit at that point
mircea_popescu: ascii_field people are on
reddit so as to be with other like minded people. it is a social function. what words they say... "world's best dad!"
mircea_popescu: of course contemporary usage is unpaid shanonizers (such as,
reddit users), increasing the volume and decreasing the cost of their misrepresentations of their own social interactions.
mircea_popescu: gtfo,
reddit. you don't get to classify the things other people do.
pete_dushenski: "Over the weekend, a BitGo user reported on
Reddit that he had lost 85 BTC while using the BitGo Legacy Wallet Recovery Tool. The user reported that, while the tool reported it would send his entire balance of about 102 BTC to the target address, in fact it only sent 16 BTC to the target address, resulting in a whopping mining fee of 86 BTC being paid."
mircea_popescu: jurov guy made a
reddit post complaining about how okcupid canned his acct.

reddit/etc, every idiot can pretend that he's being heard because he can read himself and so why not.
assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 03:58:31; Adlai:
reddit is inferior to irc on nearly the same level as the inferiority between facebook and actual conversation

☝︎☟︎ pete_dushenski: ;;later tell mircea_popescu what have we started! watch this become the next big
reddit meme.
EllieAsksWhy: Yes, Adlai,
reddit is inferior to IRC.
reddit has an IRC but I haven't used it. I don't trust Facebook. I don't use it, and like to say that it steals your soul. I sort of kind of believe that, in a casual sense, not a real one. It would be blasphemous to suggest it was really true!
Adlai:

☟︎ EllieAsksWhy: Oh, on
reddit, both the Dark Enlightenment and buttcoin sub-reddits, there are sarcastic/funny named bots that do silly things that make me laugh. Even though they are automated, the incongruity always amuses me.
EllieAsksWhy: Okay, thank you. I love how assbot bots on in. It is like a wonderful, interactive version of
reddit. I shall return.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, who is truly to say that
reddit wouldn't hire pinkertons for $5.15 an hour
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: The
reddit police tried to impound this place with a Denial of Service bot, hard to tell if they will be back
Adlai: oh i know how we can turn
reddit against gavincoin... the blocksize limit is good for changetip!
assbot: reddit_sucks2 comments on Charlie Shrem gets 2 years in prison for selling bitcoins while former CIA director gets 2 years probation for telling a whore national security secrets. ... (
http://bit.ly/1d99XG8 )
mircea_popescu: "a girl whose sense of worth was so over-inflated it could lift a fleet of Zeppelins." yeah, totally. this is probably the iconic
reddit comment. what, buoyancy ? words are words and the world consists of pictures. blips are big, so this simile works!
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: viva la
reddit, but at least learn teh fucking rhetorics, rather than deluge the interwebs in chicken scribblings.
cazalla: i guess
reddit generation think such stories are new, having never heard of grouphug.us etc
BingoBoingo: Well, between walmart and
reddit, what can USian people do to create any value without letting the cows loose?
mircea_popescu: and that's my point here : these are discussions of no substance used by
reddit dorks to be discussing things.
mircea_popescu shrugs. derps in
reddit care who said god hates faggots. yet people who actually have stuff riding on this don't care about stuff that matters. i dunno, seems rather anecdotal.
decimation: of course
reddit doesn't even need to pay employees, what with having a vast reservoir of people who would gladly pay to work there
jurov: anyone can explain to me why the
reddit turd is considered seriously here?
nubbins`: man,
reddit's taking a page from the book of alf today o.O
mircea_popescu: not among which, the opnion of
reddit, the headers of miners etc.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> who's on the qntra /
reddit as usg mouthpiece/ beat? << There is a trilema post tracking this phenomenon, but if you want to elevate it to a sustained operation go for it.
ben_vulpes: who's on the qntra /
reddit as usg mouthpiece/ beat?
ascii_field:
reddit users: does it have to be a moderator who deletes a piece, to result in the '[removed]' label?
mircea_popescu: "so you mean to tell me now i don't get a say into how the world works anymore, because back when i got the benefit of the doubt all i could do was being an idiot on
reddit ?" "exactly"
danielpbarron: and so far all you have to say might as well have been copy pasted from the top comment on a
reddit post
mircea_popescu: clearly
reddit is a legitimate source of news and commentary where actual people post things that legitimately interest them.
