mircea_popescu: xanthyos no. derping is doing banal retarded shit. stuff that would make one go "oh, derp!" if their brain were functioning
mircea_popescu: if you do you do, if you don't it's because someone else did, in either case, it's just been verified

mircea_popescu: bitcoin-assets watch foundation claims usd increasingly used to scam.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, the thing is designed to be able to "sleep" with two women, but a) women doing it in pairs don't tend to be as bulky as these dudes, and moreover... you know.

mircea_popescu: in celebration of having innovatively misinstalled an ac unit.
mircea_popescu: think about it, men in their 30s partying without womenz.
mircea_popescu: so these three very excited, rusophone derps moved into the building, spent all morning banging around trying to get a large ac unit installed (eventually welded it across on the frame, which was too small for it o.O) and now are playing loud russian pop music while making a bunch of smoke inside a small, 3x4 walled in cubical "balcony" of sorts, under the pretense of a bbq

mircea_popescu: for the record, the only sane name for hydrogen peroxide is lo-ol
mircea_popescu: "But I have to admit, I'd never thought much about the next analog of hydrogen peroxide. Instead of having two oxygens in there, why not three: HOOOH? Indeed, why not? This is a general principle that can be extended to many other similar situations. Instead of being locked in a self-storage unit with two rabid wolverines, why not three? Instead of having two liters of pyridine poured down your trousers, why not three?

The city spends $200 million a year on homelessness related programs." << that's about 20k a head if you imagine that expenditure is really "for the homeless".
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla clearly knows what he's doing inviting people here.
mircea_popescu: all these things with "food bank" and "shelter" and etc only exist because someone wants to fuck a teenager somewhere. so it's a perfect tool to get their social position enforced : unless the owner is actually sucking your cock, on a per article basis, don't mention them. all problems solved and everyone happy thus.
