chetty: moiety, but thats the whole bankster trap, in

mircea_popescu: moiety thats just the contemporary implementation of "every man needs
a lord"
moiety: i would like to know how they expect you to build
a credit rating when you can't get credit when you don't have
a credit rating in the first place.
decimation: yeah in my experience most "landlords" are real estate agents who generally are happy with
a zero cashflow - they write off the depreciation against their income
decimation: ascii I do agree with your point about rental property. I recently moved from
a house to
a rental, and when I told the agent about my credit score she said " you should be buying"
decimation: ascii you should just rent
a room in the marriott across from fort meade

mike_c: kakobrekla: ah, cool about the leverage. is there
a delay on it?
ThickAsThieves: upon inspection of her page, there is
a baby photo, wearin
a Sheriff badge
ThickAsThieves: "I'm no longer commenting on the dumbest topic I've heard in my life! This is ignorant! One day you will need the police for something and I hope they are not there to help you! You don't deserve the kindness that they put out in the community everyday! Go to court, hire
a lawyer do whatever you want but plez post what happens when they laugh you out of there!"
ThickAsThieves: moderators are asking if i can move it to
a "rants" area now that it has 150 posts and is dominating the feed

a lot of nuts out to pump the drama

a mixture of sugar and quick setting cement as fuel ?!
mircea_popescu: mike_c he sounds quite admirable, especially when he's doing the narration. third parties... well more of
a mixed bag.
mike_c: i was
a big admirer of philip greenspun. i attended one of arsdigita's classes in boston. reading that article makes me sick.
mircea_popescu: punkman: farming's hard work for most people << not harder than
a good workout at the gym. except instead of paying for membership, you get paid.
mircea_popescu: Crown Commercial Service (CCS) -
a new cabinet office department that handles public sector purcasing and commercial operations - said in
a statement, "By combining demand, on behalf of Central Government departments and the wider public sector, Crown Commercial Service has demonstrated the benefits of government working as
a single customer to achieve best value for the taxpayer, whilst continuing to build good worki
mircea_popescu: as more worthwhile sites implement it eventually you'd prolly have
a centralizer site, select all you want from there
mircea_popescu: pankkake in
a mid to long term perspective i suspect the trilema system may actually work
mircea_popescu: pankkake: I wouldn't have an issue with
a global paywall. if I have to register to every website, fuck it << this man hates freedom!
mircea_popescu: his is
a clever system, you aren't paying to read the article forever; you're paying for the request to the server (which might happen multiple times per article if you keep going back to re-read) << actuallyt, you can reload the article x times and it won't cut further credits.
mircea_popescu: "
A Long Time Product Tester Revels the Secrets to Getting FREE Products"
mircea_popescu: jurov you know, enforcing boundaries has little to do with despising.
a man may plow with six oxen, and may not sleep with oxen in his bed.
benkay: ;;later tell nubbins` sounds like
a great day
nubbins` carefully writes down comments and buries them in
a small hole in the backyard
nubbins`: now,
a quick power nap before the album release show where all this shit is being sold
kakobrekla: but yeah, he lost, had to swallow
a big loss and he did.
kakobrekla: well, i had
a short contract with him very early on. he paid ok.
danielpbarron: heh, dr. whatshisface negged kakobrekla; that's
a positive in my book
danielpbarron: there are escrows and hedges and bla bla; yeah someone can have
a change of heart and run with the money, but if you planned correctly there should be contingency plans
kakobrekla: twbt wot is
a tool, like
a map, it wont do the job by itself, you have to know how to read it, then it helps.
twizt: nah i dont have the patience to be
a sociopath
danielpbarron: there is
a demand for scammers and individuals like that simply supply it
twizt: becomes = > ie really ends up being
a scam
twizt: so what happens when
a wot business becomes
a scam?
danielpbarron: legit* what sounds weird is investing in
a stranger who took no time to familiarize himself with the community that has built the Bitcoin economy
twizt: so ebay cant accept bitcoins anymore? needs
a wot acct/
twizt: sounds like
a weird barrier
punkman: how much of
a garden are you thinking?
danielpbarron: i want to sell shares to my friends and family to start
a garden on my yard (to try out managing profit/loss and paying dividends)
danielpbarron: that's in past tense; i don't go back there (they are
a false church)
wywialm: ;;later tell bitcoinpete I've read your deflation article. Do you believe that 1) prices may be downward rigid? 2) wages may be downward rigid? If yes, what is the impact on these in
a substantially deflationary regime?
danielpbarron: yeah i'm always paying in cash and answering "no" to "want
a receipt?"
cgcardona_: try to grab
a tea and chips "oh sorry it has to be $5." "ok just double the order"
danielpbarron: fees aside, why does
a 3rd party have to be involved at all? They can block the trade or get the state involved
cgcardona_: yea one of the biggest things that's changed in my perception since regularly using btc is how fucked it feels to give
a stranger my credit card info.
pankkake: I guess bitcoin makes it
a bit simpler
pankkake: I wouldn't have an issue with
a global paywall. if I have to register to every website, fuck it
danielpbarron: which should come as no surprise to anyone with even
a tenuous understanding of economics
danielpbarron: his is
a clever system, you aren't paying to read the article forever; you're paying for the request to the server (which might happen multiple times per article if you keep going back to re-read)
thestringpuller: put it on
a disc and bury it in my yard in case: apocalypse
thestringpuller: i have enough trilema credits to last me till mircea has
a full head of gray hair
gribble: mike_c was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 16 hours, 14 minutes, and 6 seconds ago: <mike_c> looks like neobeeq has settled in at
a 93% drop from suspended price. another win for havelock.
danielpbarron: making
a credit/debit card that links to Bitcoin kinda defeats the whole purpose of Bitcoin; i realize that now
Apocalyptic: danielpbarron, yeah that's
a good approach in learning
