mircea_popescu: also, http://i.imgur.com/BVyJ0ZR.gif
mircea_popescu: i wonder what % of the various derps i ask for a quote from, receive a horribly mangled piece of nonsense that I never reply to realise that they fucked up.
jborkl: I can't believe you said that I am so offended
jborkl: I crack myself up
asciilifeform: all i could think of was the infamous 'we had to destroy the village in order to save it' (u.s. papers, circa vietnam war)
asciilifeform: jborkl: i didn't ask.
jborkl: 'my vagina is my village.' - seen printed on a tshirt, at the university i live near. <1. That is a really big vagina 2. Does that mean they live in vagina village or that they are lesbo? I dont get it
asciilifeform: why did i even try.
Apocalyptic: oh most definitely but i was told never to put your dick in crazy no matter how good the lay is // they prolly wanted to keep them for themselves
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i imagine they make great lays actually. << oh most definitely but i was told never to put your dick in crazy no matter how good the lay is

thestringpuller: some feminist mumbo jumbo I presume
mircea_popescu: i dunno, someone was wrong.
mircea_popescu: i'm the sort that shoots you in both shoulders and both knees, then pulls a chair close and watches you bleed.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the turmoil of the unworthy amuses me. i'm not the sort that calls the cops if you break in.
benkay: mircea_popescu: i don't know how you have the fucks to give about people who communicate in gifs.

thestringpuller: I know Gina Luttrell
jborkl: mircea-popescu : Did I really see the Bitcoin awards list or was someone goofing?

davout: "Personally, I like cryptostocks except for the amount of scams on it"
asciilifeform: i didn't pull it directly out of me arse
fluffypony: asciilifeform: yeah, I'm waiting for one of the CEOs to start calling himself "the Conductor"
mircea_popescu: i wanna be him now.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I dispute that "Director of Engineering" means what they think it means
princessnell: this is more or less what i mean: http://www.firstprinciplesjournal.com/articles.aspx?article=871
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: what's this definition in context stuff? i could've sworn we had dictionaries for a reason ;)
princessnell: ah. i see.
nubbins`: i've imagined it to be like having a secret, but i suspect that's more due to my not being demure by nature than to an actual understanding of the condition
princessnell: mircea_popescu i know. i have to be demure.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete no i mean the bitcoin miner

Namworld: I can see why they would be in demand.
nubbins`: i spent some time in trout river two years ago, strange Deliverance-esque place
bounce: there's the pay people to do homework racket. I'd be interested in selling such services (getting paid to learn? cool) except that it'd enable idiots to get diplomas.
nubbins`: good to know i'll be passing the guy in the street in a couple years
benkay: i hear tell of a mythical time where one could attempt the US bar without having a law degree.
nubbins`: i had to pass that many in my first year ;(

asciilifeform: i suspect that many people in usa would happily eat $50 watermelons in a $1000 house.
asciilifeform: i bet alaska is cheaper still.
nubbins`: ^ i got a $50 parking ticket today
asciilifeform: yeah after i noticed what attracts derpmeisters, i moved on to other, more interesting subjects
mircea_popescu: I should also note that no one else makes a laptop whose metallic chassis enables it to pass the “Creak Test” – hold a device by two opposite corners and flex gently. Do you hear a noise of any kind? If so, you are holding a mechanically-unsound piece of garbage.
hanbot: asciilifeform: i actually thought it was 'cryptographer / radioman / funker.' << s'not as cool as all that, but who can resist the allure of shiny golden insignia

thestringpuller: i guess I'm misunderstanding the little key symbol on your blog
asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: wait, hanbot is a cryptographer << i've no idea. possibly.
pankkake: it's actually why I like to sell on auctions: I'm not setting the price
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> i thought it meant 'employed as cryptographer' // wait, hanbot is a cryptographer N
pankkake: if I was selling content, I wouldn't want to be the one thinking of the price
asciilifeform: i thought it meant 'employed as cryptographer'
fluffypony: so I'd imagine selling proxied access will be worthwhile
danielpbarron: that's what I was thinking
fluffypony: I mean, when BTC is at 1mil a pack of Trilema creds will be worth $10k. if you're long on BTC you'll have a net worth an order of magnitude higher than that, so it'll be irrelevant.
fluffypony: danielpbarron: I think the cost is too low to have a measurable impact on one's personal wealth
mircea_popescu: people ocasionalyl just want to make a donation, and so i think there are some people with 5 or 10 btc's worht
fluffypony: when btc reaches 1 mil I'm selling stock in my remaining trilema credits
danielpbarron: fluffypony, that's not the point; I guess what I mean is: is buying trilema credits like an investment denominated in BTC?
mircea_popescu: well, let's say i won't change the price until btc reaches 1mn each
asciilifeform: speaking of derpatronics: there i was, trying to pick up some chair on the cheap, and saw:

fluffypony: normally it sends an email and I can reply to the mail to approve
fluffypony: I'm just too lazy to login to my moderation thing
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I haven't
mike_c: i know right? like tearing down goal posts
mircea_popescu: i've tried this experiment, if you clench your fists and make for any twentysomething, they'll put their hands over their head and stop sobbing
mircea_popescu: if my kids didn't bully the loser kids i'd slit their throat with my own fucking hand
