danielpbarron: I'll just leave my spectral pickle pile in my mall store until the price moves up and then use that meat to back MEAT
danielpbarron: every time I end up playing it again, I end up wasting too much time optimizing my adventures per day and it becomes like a job that doesn't pay
BingoBoingo: I mean last time I really played Kol was before 68749514392093b165be8c9c53df18107748fb18a50f0e4352fce5d0cfe56943
BingoBoingo: I dunno really if I did anything too special
danielpbarron: the most impressive thing I did in KoL was get the #8 collection of FDKOL Commendations
BingoBoingo: I wonder when Larry and Sergey will come in here groveling for airfare?
danielpbarron: april fools rolled around so I made the switch
danielpbarron: pickles*; I was previously in ten-leaf-clovers
danielpbarron: i recently moved into spectral picals
BingoBoingo: Ah, that was back before I had regular internet access
BingoBoingo: Also to try these new seasonal ascensions I missed
BingoBoingo: May short term goal now that I remembered it is a thing is to get spectral pickles to be my favorite food again now that the price has come down 10 fold from the last time I saw them.
danielpbarron: I focus on getting #1 collections of items, especially items that cannot be traded or discarded
danielpbarron: right now I'm not playing it at all

danielpbarron: I don't play continuously
danielpbarron: I don't know what that is
BingoBoingo: It just seems... to have accelerated a lot since the last time I was on (roughly the Crimborg outbreak)
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: My how the kingdom of loathing has changed since I last visited.
gribble: I doubt it very much.
mircea_popescu: i guess gribble's one of 'em.
mircea_popescu: "I've noticed the same weird principle on soc.singles: the more a man needs a virtual woman, the more threatened he is by the very concept. Why is that? [Rhetorical.]" << for the exact same reason poor people understand better than rich people that they can't afford substitutes.
BayAreaCoins: I dunno she had nice tits in her dancing vid, but not over .1btc nice tits imo. O well shrug off that fail and keep on keeping on. More tits in the world :)
mircea_popescu: i guess.
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu um cause you got to start somewhere. She was interested. She had made a dancing video in Just-dice and LiKaShing tipped her like 20btc.. I didnt figure she would be down, but close mouths don't get fed (titties in this case. She had nice tits it appeared)
BigBitz: ( Sorry. I'll stop now. I'm going )
kakobrekla: your net is slow slow i still didnt get your lulzgertina line.
BigBitz: I am an avid fan of tits.
BayAreaCoins: I just like tits
BayAreaCoins: O well I tried! Sry to waste your time peaches <3
Peach: I made a dance video I will share for .1btv ;)
dub: mircea_popescu: I just checked #bitcoin-camwhores, its avail
Peach: if I can cover up my nipples I will hold a sign or whatever, but not nudes.
Peach: I'm not showing full on boobs for .1btc
Peach: I would do it with it covering up my nipples but I'm not showing my boobs for .1 Bay
BayAreaCoins: Peach ok so the deal was last time i was in here. For .1 you get a string of letters n numbers. Send a pic of boobs with that and the letters/number = free .1btc.
Peach: I don't like this, just-dice is easier to read.
BingoBoingo: If I've done nothing wrong I have everything to hide, because I wouldn't be cool!!!
assbot: Edward Snowden: 'If I end up in chains in Guantnamo I can live with that' - video interview | World news | theguardian.com
mircea_popescu: like fcc claiming "lulz are bad mkay" or reddit claiming "people not doing what i think are evil mkay"
mircea_popescu: i think maybe what's at work here is, that "there's no such thing as deliberate character assasination when the people trying to do it are a relatively irrelevant, powerless and uninfluential minority".
mircea_popescu: i'll have to have it translated.
mircea_popescu: suppose this manger now goes to work for me, and i'm "whatever, fuck them all in chains for all i care."
BingoBoingo: I suppose this is when I start digging expedient backyard shelter...
mircea_popescu: i guess england is the only major player to not have tried yet huh.
mircea_popescu: but i guess "tactical" isn't a word anymore, and so strategy is a lost art.
BingoBoingo: I think Malaysia is just disappearing and selling these planes for BTC...
lobbes: lol, and I thought I had thoroughly searched the logs
mircea_popescu: lobbes http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-07-2014#759682 i had it first :D ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i guess i could see that.
asciilifeform: ohio, i think.
mircea_popescu: i guess. where was this ?
punkman1: I liked this soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsJXfkOlCLw so then I binge-watched the series, not bad
mircea_popescu: "Of course I hesitate to argue as I am doing here for fear of encouraging xtians to have even more children and raising them to believe in Noah's Flood." << ironically, that's in all likelihood an actual event.
asciilifeform: i used to real quite a bit of (mostly vintage) sf. 'anathem' mostly killed my brain receptors for this. because now nothing stands up, ends up giving me exactly the kind of indigestion mircea_popescu describes above.
mircea_popescu: my problem with sf is more personal i guess. i think i have a very finnicky suspension of disbelief, makes the mayo cut extremely easy for me.
mike_c: i can't think of anyone else. you're right, 1% is good.
mike_c: percentage should perhaps be a smidge higher for an engineer, but i like it as a rule of thumb.
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is a good rule of thumb. and equally good in 1700 for that matter.
mircea_popescu: i think less than 1% of the books i ever read were published after my birth.
asciilifeform: ^ i linked him here a few times, long ago
mircea_popescu: "If marriage constituted more than a hypothetical risk of getting raped, I would expect women to learn to avoid it as women have learned to avoid walking around alone at night, or at least show some reluctance to get married, as women often show reluctance to put themselves into positions of vulnerability with men they just met or men they have gotten to know and decided they don't want to have sex with." << this is ac
mircea_popescu: (in the purely math sense : i'm probably going to be able to write a simple transform)
chetty: sure they can, not for most tho I guess
chetty: I thought we were talking about sex, money is a different issue :P
chetty: well I can't see why a woman would want a derp that is happy with a tube, let him go have his 'fun'.
mircea_popescu: i am generally forced to admit that yes, "especially for you, it would be."
mircea_popescu: and so he privately wonders why the fuck would i bother with a stable of slaves. "isn't it hard work ?!"
mircea_popescu: the average kid today doesn't understand why i'd have bothered with a fixed cabled phone at any point
mircea_popescu: all that "lol at sexist women ads from the 50s" obliquely misses the point that "honey, that was then. i wouldn 't settle for a carbureter today, and i wouldn't settle for a 50s housewife only. do more. MUCH more."
mircea_popescu: feminists better yell loudly right now, because i can almost feel the volume button turning.
mircea_popescu: i beg to differ.
mthreat: mircea_popescu: I read about your flashlight woes. Here's one to consider: http://www.fleshlight.com/classics/
mike_c: hanbot: The betting closes ~20 blocks early because otherwise the very end game presents situations that I think are non-healthy. same kind of reasons for bitbet closing bets early. the last open year is 979 because the last paid bomb goes off on year 980. ☟︎
nubbins`: i was just checking to see when the half hour was up
jakethesnake: mircea - where would i find those... sorry for being such a n00b haha
jakethesnake: i've got a few investors interested in starting something but am looking for some bitcoin expertise to assist
indiancandy1: i have 750 gbp til the 10th of aug
indiancandy1: if i buy my ticket i cant afford accomodation
indiancandy1: well i can pay for my accomodation is you buy my ticket
mircea_popescu: pankkake if you find a whore, bring her here and then fuck her i'll pay for it.
nubbins`: pankkake: i need to send someone to india, but i'm a prude
pankkake: well, I need women to do dirty things for me, but I can't afford it
indiancandy1: im super hot and sexxy and horny LMAO and i need a one way ticket to india so
mircea_popescu: well, thing is... i don't really need you to do dirty things.
indiancandy1: and i cant afford it
indiancandy1: i need 2 get to india
pankkake: wait, I'm the French complainer
nubbins`: diana_coman: i feel like i should dig a "beware" sign into the soil somewhere 8)
mircea_popescu: well i guess wn is anti woman then, innit.
diana_coman: I've limited it to at least 12 words per line though
nubbins`: so if i'm understanding correctly, that text mining blog post is recommending that people pay attention to what i have to say?
diana_coman: sure, I've put now out of the top 10 by lines
diana_coman: yeah, that's why I did not put the top 10 initially
mircea_popescu: lol i guess so yeah
mircea_popescu: wow i had no idea.
mircea_popescu: ah words per line. okay. also meant letters per word i guess
diana_coman: it's a bit of a hack so not terribly precise - I count non-words and then add 1 - I've used basic string processing rather than all the text mining shit
diana_coman: mircea_popescu yes, it counts urls, but that's not the top by wordlength, the title was misleading I guess; updated now
mircea_popescu: i guess someone has to try and fail for the rest to get it. teaching without training is kinda dead in the water.
