mircea_popescu: Apr 08 16:13:16 *Topic for #bitcoin-otc set by nanotube!~nanotube@unaffiliated/nanotube at Wed Apr 4 06:47:00 2012
mircea_popescu: well just don't get arrested over freedom of speech lol
mircea_popescu: do you realise i've been pretty much here, and on -otc before that, almost every day for like three years straight ?
mircea_popescu: there was about a month there while namworld was struggling to salvage the thing. which meanwhile i think died again or what is it these days ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: for that matter, the guy didn't protest at any point while rg was still running the thing, nor did he stand up to take over once rg fucked it up.
mircea_popescu: he never availed himself of it, and that is exactly enough for constructive tacit agreement, just as good as if he swore to the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the contract has a specific clause, 3(a)That no third party has offered verifiable proof as to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of the representations and warranties made herein and that no market makers, preferred traders and other significant investors of MPEx have publicly proffered doubt as to the accuracy or completeness of the representations and warranties made herein ;
mircea_popescu: re the entire grubles/bitvps thing : the listing was discussed for a while, in a public channel. grubles was there, and not only represented himself in agreement, but represented rg as the owner of the thing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ;;rate grubles -1 Disingenuous at best. One of the large group of everyday nitwits that wandered into Bitcoin early on enough so as to end up with a much larger momentary fortune than their limited brainpower could support. After squandering it through the usual means, they prefer to pretend their funciar stupidity is someone else's fault.
mircea_popescu: the main reason herbivore meat is so good (and we don't eat cat) is that its liver is so big and its diet so simple that the meat becomes very narrow, chemically
mircea_popescu: that doesn't work, herbivores get liver damage then the meat gets poisoned with fifty thousand different byproducts of a broken liver.
mircea_popescu: i guess if we ever make the bitcoin ranch it's getting tried.
mircea_popescu: a good six gallons of middling burgundy should do the trick.
mircea_popescu: just the margerine alone. it's like instead of exanguinating the beast, you'd replace its blood with brake fluid, then butcher it.
mircea_popescu: cakes made by machines however... they're not really cakes.
mircea_popescu: homemade cakes are one of those religious experiences that put the innocent at risk of fundamentally altering their life. a steak gets ruined through the industrial process, of course, but somehow not quite to the degree
mircea_popescu: im having my own version tho. no whipped cream. all home made.
mircea_popescu: no because they'll fuck in any case after which the guy won't marry.
mircea_popescu: there's this ancient tradition among german tribes transplanted in transylvania, that a couple may only divorce after having spent a day in a tiny hut with a single plate, spoon, stool etc.
mircea_popescu: i knew a number of chicks that got divorced while owning a one room apartment with hubby, so put a curtain down the middle.
mircea_popescu: "Erin Pavlina is a highly gifted intuitive counselor who connects with your spirit guides to provide you information and insights that will help you on your path. "
mircea_popescu: if normalcy is convenient then wtf was he doing anyway
mircea_popescu: is this the guy that's married to the beached whale spiritualist ?
mircea_popescu: this same fundmental process is at work in "business".
mircea_popescu: Adlai it's much simpler than that. confine three people in a space, notice they will talk. the stuff they talk about is unimportant, to them and everyone else.
mircea_popescu: holy shit the chinese actually understand why chinese women are ugly ?!
mircea_popescu: nonsense has this blessed ability to carry an infinite number of front pages.
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, they wish to be the biggest provider of obsolete nonsense to the new world of novel nonsense.
mircea_popescu: or just like a ceo stands in front of the same holy line, supposedly his performance somewhere in therer.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like obama sitting in front of a line angled from the bottom left to the upper right, for no particular reason, that "represents" the "people", neither quoted symbols meaningful to any degree.
mircea_popescu: what i thought you meant was : 1. people will make up numbers, irrespective of any reality, because it's what people do ; 2. those numbers will be put on an arbitrary graph ; 3. there will be a race to pretend meaning out of this meaningless combo. which race we call "painting the graph"
mircea_popescu: they're trying to be the biggest pony express company this side of the railroad, because such is the way things go.
mircea_popescu: pigs could fly if only they batted their ears fast enough!
mircea_popescu: these theoretical potentials, you know ? men could breastfeed if they leveraged their boobs.
mircea_popescu: this is like saying that the spanish empire could be quite profitable if "it increases" the number of jews inhabiting it. for one thing, it's not the empire increasing it, for the other, they'll fuck it up
mircea_popescu: speaking of corporations without official headquarters.
mircea_popescu: Adlai if anything it'd be s.advc or something. except they're insulated iirc, so...
mircea_popescu: jurov any chance reddit will get DERPified? << mebbe, i'dhave to look into it. if it does it won't be this year.
