mircea_popescu: reading old trilema articles (
http://trilema.com/2011/sa-belim-pula/ ) i'm suddenly illuminated : all the empowered feminist derps that bitch about how having to shave their cunt is wrong, novel and bla bla : how much smegma do they eat in the average week ?

mircea_popescu: lobbes does the proposition that having two children each off two different women equal having four children total have to accept some sort of assumption about "the twu nature of numbers" ?
mircea_popescu: god knows they do enough of that nonsense even without any help
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah. wouldn't want random dude in a band that drinks too much read that and with his usual superficial comprehension skills decide 1% of keys are broken or some similar shit.
mircea_popescu: plenty of people making a living at this. in fact, three card monte exists specifically to exploit the thermodynamc gradient created by the "own eyes" meme/mental parasithosis.

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron do you call emergency line and tell them truths ?

mircea_popescu: fetlife is hiring, vice is hiring, erryone's hiring. we might even make the gdp go up
mircea_popescu: nubbins` can you imagine the increase in demand for competent web engineers we've caused this year alone ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` frankly i'm moderately surprised anyone even reads vice at all. readership >= 1 is already above par.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck washes things by hand in cold water. what is this, slavegirl concentration camp ?!
mircea_popescu: sort-of like a guy in a mma fight being beaten to death with his own, broken arms.
mircea_popescu: lol. kinda hard to beat me up with my own fucking words eh.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` "divisors" are only defined for some numbers.
mircea_popescu: this, of course, after the current glut is processed, which estimatively should take about a month o.O

mircea_popescu: only marginally interesting outside of the strong set.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform these are endemic, they come and go, it's a lot like stop-go traffic.

mircea_popescu: "Firstly, no, the "Bitcoin ecosystem" is not well funded. Blockstream might
mircea_popescu: have bitcoin declared a "public service" or right or whatever by congress, get obamabitcoin and all that jazz. make the MIT shitheads, google etc all fat and giggly.
