benkay: Mats_cd03: i don't see the utility of training people out of good crypto habits.
the20year1: I coulda bought bitcoins at 10c/ea

gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=PGP | PGP. A pubic hair in plain view of the public, usually found on a toilet seat. Pube Gone Public. Instead of sitting on the toilet to unload my turd, I hovered over it ...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sed no, i sed no, what garage.
benkay queues up the 'i told you so' routine for the local yokels
BingoBoingo: On that note Imma head over a few hollers to pickle the liver. I am already considering at least 1 sponsorship offer for the blog, and I'll prolly contnue entertaining offers through Thursday.
mircea_popescu: i love that part tho lol.
radan: I was
nubbins`: well why don't i just read the fucking faq ;(
nubbins`: well i guess that explains why the house bet chose my address for payout
nubbins`: ah, i see
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i've seen a few wagers on bitbet that have "house bets" attached to them -- are there specific criteria for whether the house will throw down on a bet, or is it left to mod discretion?
BingoBoingo: I've put more though into the fundraising thing. If anyone really prefered the oil painting option I guess I could throw that in as well.
radan: I want to invest my 1 bitcoin
Namworld: Well anyway, no point in talking further. I don't have anything else to do on the computer, I'll be on my way.
Namworld: I think it's been established what is progress to me. Speaking of groups in absolute fuels hate, especially when the one speaking doesn't believe in such absolute, is bad. Thus I will speak against it when I see it. Just like you would call out people on doing things you disapprove of.
radan: I never did
Namworld: I didn't say there's none. It might be common. That's okay to expect similiarities to be probable. But one should not assume people from the same group will be alike.
mircea_popescu: i also had a computer so i know how those think too
radan: I'd imagine you do
mircea_popescu: i once was with a girl so i know how THEY think!
radan: I know how they think
radan: I went to a jewish high school
radan: I think he's a bit more perceptive than your average happy merchant
radan: "I don't feel fondly attached to any culture particularly."
Namworld: Some would say loss of culture and traditional way of living is not progress. Me, I don't feel fondly attached to any culture particularly.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think he was speaking of 'tolerasty'
mircea_popescu: i don't get what the trouble with tolerance is in the first place.
Namworld: I don't think we can eliminate those things, short of simply eradicating ourselves.
asciilifeform: but i tend to assume thing that turn out to be mistake
asciilifeform: i sort of assume everyone here has read both
asciilifeform: radan: me, i'm a believer in 'salvation of the drowning is work for the hands of the drowning' - but if you want organized - straight to limonov et al.
Namworld: You understood that I meant you've set those standards' limits where you pleased.
Namworld: I'm calling you out on calling the world is going bad or people are wrong-headed when it is doing so only by your standards, which are arbitrary.
radan: I'm already doing that
radan: I don't get your point Namworld
radan: they can kill me, until then I'm a free man.
radan: I'll call them out on it
radan: and when I see westerners acting like faggots or women
radan: that's not going to stop me from doing what I think is best
radan: in actuality, even if I get a girl pregnant here
Namworld: I didn't say otherwise, just unsure about the best way to go about it and not liking how it's done.
radan: I'm never gonna marry one though
radan: I'm not saying american girls are worthless or anything
Namworld: I seem to recall... hmm, let me check
radan: I've had girlfriends since middle school
radan: I'm not sure where you get that I'm confused about daring from
rithm: i like sex
radan: but I've thought about it a lot longer than you have
radan: and I'm impressed that you thought it out enough to reach that conclusion
asciilifeform: i can tell, yes
mircea_popescu: Namworld is getting trolled into booklet length responses by now i see.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: blew my mind how much of it i was able to digest
radan: it's what bulgarian music would sound like if it wasn't for the turks, I think
rithm: My personal fave: Because these idiots won’t fucking die already, everyone else has to be inconvenienced. I deeply regret this. If it were practical I’d just kill them all with my own hand. Unfortunately, it is not practical, and so with my deepest and most sincere apologies to sane people everywhere I have to modify the MPEx FAQ.
radan: I like romanian music tho
radan: kinda funny, I guess
BingoBoingo: I prolly ought to throw this link up as a courtesy for journos and SEC https://gist.github.com/leffuy/750a4291264fa2de03a5
radan: I'll take a listen
Radi777: yea cross-race effect that's why i said the joke about blacks and asians lol
mircea_popescu: nah. i'm from transylvania

asciilifeform: i, too, would like to visit the parallel universe where the ottomans didn't happen.
