MisterE: I liked that part

MisterE: did O change it? I didn't think so

cazalla: I would guess Australia welfare pays better than Walmart

MisterE: now I hear the welfare has messed it up like the UK, maybe followed that model.

cazalla: MisterE: I would only get away talking like this at the pub, not in general public, there are just as many who would disagree with me but they typically want to pile on for the free shit from the government

MisterE: naah I learned a lot about how Austrailians think and whats really going on there from this chat

cazalla: MisterE: it is but i only talk when drunk and unlikely to say anything intelligible then

MisterE: I'm never here so I don't know but I thought pretty much politics and intelligent exchange of ideas is OK

cazalla: i sorta feel i'm shitting where i eat heh

cazalla: i don't think this conversation would fly in here during peak hours

cazalla: i was just about to say that

cazalla: i feel it's being threatened

cazalla: oh i have a good life

cazalla: bounce: you're right, i have a whinge, jerk off and go to bed

MisterE: If there were a real grass roots movement I would go back to the US to be a part of it

cazalla: i usually keep my mouth shut in here while sober

bounce: I think you both are wallowing in the same kind of feeling put upon that got the activists up before and had them change the gov't and such more to their liking

cazalla: well, i've been drinking hence the shit spewing out of my mouth

MisterE: yea, given the human condition as I see it it's understandable

cazalla: bounce: conservative values were destroyed and here we are, least that is what i see it as, evils of feminism and all that

MisterE: traded out for short-term gains I guess bounce

MisterE: So I'm usually based in Thailand

MisterE: there's not a place I can think of to live that's not fucked one way or another

MisterE: I'm mobile, single, can work remotely and financially secure

MisterE: no and I can't find anywhere in the world better

cazalla: i'm jack of it and i suspect there are a growing number of people like me from the middle class who won't put up with it for much longer

MisterE: I had a consulting company that paid a lot of tax and saw it all going to fight those wars and what not, no thankyou

MisterE: I gave up in my 30s and got disgusted and ben out for 8 years now

MisterE: I used to be a crusader and activist int he US in my 20s

cazalla: i don't see how else you can unite a people and kick out the leeches

cazalla: MisterE, when I was 20, I thought ideas like social justice, equality, peace etc etc were good ideas, now that I'm in my 30s, I find myself hoping for a catalyst that would bring about a nationalist party to power, that's a big change in just a decade

MisterE: I'd be disallusioned too

MisterE: I had no idea there was that uch frustration

cazalla: anyway, i think the situation is too far gone here in Australia as it likely has in the rest of the world

MisterE: Diablo-D3: Americans are some of the worst most uncaring people I've ever met and I'm pretty well travelled everywhere except Europe and North Asia / Russia

Diablo-D3: I almost do as much

cazalla: MisterE: and I'm hostile (some would say hateful) because I am paying for it as is the rest of the middle class and we're jack of it

cazalla: MisterE: they don't want a better life, they want to live in the bush as they did before the British came here, I am happy for them to do that, government is not and they keep throwing money at them

MisterE: Why are you hostile to the people who just want a better life? You should be pissed at your representatives in Sydney who are making policy on how to handle it and I guess believe in handouts for people who can't vote?

cazalla: if it was an even playing field, i probably wouldn't be so hostile to them like most australian's are

Diablo-D3: I think reservations should be ended to be honest

MisterE: not that I'm particularly happy the welfare system is paying into aboriginals and decimating the culture but... not my country

MisterE: ok I remember now

cazalla: i'm sure they try to catch them but it's like finding a needle in a haystack

cazalla: seriously though, i don't care anymore

cazalla: i would vote for snake because at least he is honest about who and what he is

MisterE: in US I can understand voter apathy

cazalla: i am finding a lot of people my age no longer care, don't even bother voting even though it's compulsory

cazalla: i thought it was leftist?

MisterE: Well I dunno about your younger generation, you sound like an adult :D

cazalla: i don't mind yanks but we call you guys seppos when you're here

MisterE: I'm US but live in Asia for many years

MisterE: I wonder how much traffic they are getting

cazalla: i only bet small though so it's nothing to get excited about even if i won every bet

cazalla: most are pending, i'm 3/3 so far

cazalla: i'm not big on gambling, only bet on bitbet because most prop bets are bitcoin related and it's a bit of fun

MisterE: I'm good at the craps table because I play a very conservative game, max odds and try to bet the trends, I'm up ~$15k in my lifetime and I was sort of feeling the same way abotu crypto, I'm doing OK but could all go to hell in one game

cazalla: yeah, i'm not game to push it any longer, i buy, put most into cold storage and save a little for some have some fun with it shit bets on bitbet

cazalla: not that i knew it at the time

cazalla: i've had coins in every scam

MisterE: I see

cazalla: it's a wonder i made it this far without being fleeced tbh

cazalla: i stuck everything into cold storage

MisterE: so where do I go from here?

MisterE: oh I dont kid myself I know it's "calculated gambling" at best

cazalla: I don't anymore, not that what I did before was trading, more gambling

MisterE: Even the simplest of tricks I se often like putting up a big wall and when the market starts moving canceling the order

MisterE: I have fiat sitting in BTC-e now and have been increasingly thinking I need to do something about that

cazalla: I'm not game to go near it or btc-e now

MisterE: I sold at 19.5 just before it went live, I told people to buy the hype sell the news but I know a lot of bag holders and people that got burned

cazalla: MisterE: I don't think the Chinese care for it, majority of the volume is still on btc-e, I figure coblee kicked this off on his brother's exchange just so he could sell without fees or risk

MisterE: I'm beginning to think crypto has jumped the near-term shark

Diablo-D3: I must have missed that to begin with

MisterE: chetty: thats what I want to know too!

mircea_popescu: and with that i'll bid you all a very good nuclear summer!

mircea_popescu: "i like your nonshooting of myself truly"

mircea_popescu: "don't shoot or i'll unfollow you"

asciilifeform: somebody should print cloth crib sheets, like the maps given to british officers during the war, but for americans. contents: 'don't shoot - i know secrets!' in 30 languages.

decimation: a trophy I guess

asciilifeform: if i recall, this was solved with some clever finesse (entirely absent in english language literature, afaik) with neutron tubes:

asciilifeform: i also recall that there was a rather serious problem with 'warhead fratricide'

decimation: the parents I know who pratice physical punishment have the most well-adjusted children

mircea_popescu: i mean, even in the middle of an armed rebellion/invasion your chances to be plugged are what, 1% ?

mircea_popescu: i wonder how they manage to brush teeth.

mircea_popescu: i dunno why this fear of other people seriously.

asciilifeform: a common criticism of mr moldy (whose every published word, to my shame, i read) is that his entire philosophy seems to reduce to 'the crown exists to guard my suburban house against evil ape men'

mircea_popescu: diametric "here's how i try to inject myself in stuff that has nothing to do with me over 5k words. call me michael moore"

dub: I only have 10 of AC, a small generator

dub: asciilifeform: noob question im having trouble getting a straight answer, have 20a dc supply that I want to drive (carefully) off 10a of AC mains, bad idea?

dub: can only imagine, I find carpet bad enough

Diablo-D3: but I thought the point of a pool table was to throw a woman on it and fuck her

mircea_popescu: my mind boggles when i visit someone and they have shit like a pool table in the basement

asciilifeform: my mind always boggles when i visit somebody's gigantic house and there's no heavy, oily strange in the basement

asciilifeform: (and i'd probably fall through my floor...)

asciilifeform: 1 of these days i too will purchase an enormous stone plinth. always wanted one, holography table

asciilifeform: i imagine it would. in japan they like the 'click' of the wood though.

mircea_popescu: actually all the good boards i've seen are stone

asciilifeform: all i personally have is a very thoroughly weathered (from abuse as a student) magnetic board.

asciilifeform: more like 1k. i think it was old (100+ yrs.) and refinished at least once, after ww2 if i recall.

asciilifeform: i actually know someone who owns a board like that.
