the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated
that a middle-income American family is likely
to spend $234,900
to raise a child born in 2011
to age 17. If
the kid goes
to college,
that figure may double." <<
though half a mil on a sjw you couldn't bring yourself
to kill would suck
the life force out of a sultan.
pete_dushenski: so of course, "don't beat
them,
they're people
too" persists. it's self-perpetuum-immobile!
pete_dushenski: lying
to
themselves first, infecting each other with rabies second.
mircea_popescu: well...
technically speaking word magicians, but
the difference's negligible.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-07#1498935 << more like a case of "ustards
telling you something enmasse,
they're DEFINITELY lying. much better odds
they are saying it for some meta reason (such as,
they read it in
the latest cookbook, is
the way
to make friends out of plywood and influenza people)
than for
the direct.
☝︎ pete_dushenski: "Microscopic investigation suggests
the possibility
that
the
tip of
the hyper-elongated penis is softer
than
the rest of it, and our numerical model confirms
that
this
type of distribution of stiffness gradient aids in faster propulsion
than other
types.
This result indicates
that previously ignored physical properties of genital materials are of crucial importance in evolutionary studies of genitalia." <
Joshua-I: True BingoBoingo last
time I had
to do
that it was at least 15mins signing
the
thing not
to mention
the pointless
talk before hand
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Sure
they do. It's what counsin Sal(ly) picked up when zhe was on
the swim
team and show choir.
shinohai: Yup
thought I'd never catch up on
those #b-a lawgz lately
ben_vulpes: because kakobrekla
takes such dreeeeeamy pictures
pete_dushenski: i get
that it's like 13sec of reading per day, but still.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: bitbet 'twas in
the log!
pete_dushenski: seems like a sane way
to cook
the inside of
the
tater so it's not mushy and gross but wdik
pete_dushenski: i
think a wet cardboard box would be paradise compared
to dc
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Because Stan is used
to
the captital swamp region. Compared
to
that Chicago is likely paradise.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> blame
the septagenarian struggle
to lead
the lemmings off
the cliff or mordor's highest peak. or just blame potato science 'experts' spouting off about whatever
the fuck happiness is in
the first place. << Or give in and get a set of potato nails
pete_dushenski: and goddam frenchies beating ze germans. wtf was
that about ? colour me unimpressed with
the negroes in blue who only won because
the crowds and refs won it for
them
pete_dushenski: in other
titties, bitbet2 is finally ratcheting up
their fee
to 2% come august
pete_dushenski: of course, it would be given
that russ roberts and yuval levin are both jooz.
pete_dushenski: looks like
the last pre-halving broomstick is right on schedule
pete_dushenski: huh. coulda sworn it was in here before. not
the first i've heard of it but ah well.
pete_dushenski: right points at left saying "those solutions worked in
the past, but
times are different and
they'd never work
THIS
TIME". left points at right saying "your solutions have never worked and will never work because
the only
thing
that's changed is
the colour of your smelly socks"
pete_dushenski: "The good news,
the researchers say, is
that
there is nothing inevitable about
the parental happiness gap. And
there may be some relatively achievable solutions for improving
the happiness of American parents – like subsidizing childcare, or expanding access
to paid vacation and sick leave." << moar socialism is
the problem, researchers say.
the solution ? even moarrrr!

phf: i'm
tired of asciilifeform's abuse, i'm getting log recovery squared away
mircea_popescu: shinohai well, while
the fiats last,
they get
to play.
trinque: poison kills well before
the ratio of poison
to person is 1
shinohai: I kinda
thought Bitcoin is supposed
to *destroy*
the welfare state, not perpetuate it.
mircea_popescu: in
the general sense, bitcoin
taking over everything mainstream is unavoidable ; in
the same general sense, various fiat pretenders etc doing most of
the work involved for entirely no benefit is also how
things work.
shinohai: "Freud suggested
that
the project's success or failure would be determined by
the impact on
those receiving welfare payments." which will be zero, I'm certain.
mircea_popescu: and now in
the lulz of all
time, argentine government pays youtube
to advertise
to argentinians about how 200 years ago
they gained
their independence "y lo es muy bueno"

thestringpuller: "Quite funny
that a random altcoin exchange like poloniex is far more profitable
than a company
that has raised more
than 100 million USD." << in coinbase "we need more money plz" news.
mircea_popescu: lol,
they cautiously avoided noticing
this while mpex was publicly
traded, NOW it's a point of discussion ? color me flattered, what.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's quite in-fucking-credible,
to compare newsprint of 1970
to 2016.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, it's just gonna be
typical "democratic" drivel.
mircea_popescu: twenty years and 10% or more civillian casualties.
THEN you'll see
the difference
mircea_popescu: whereas all
these shitty attempts - not a decade in greece, not a decade in argentina etc. bullcrap.
mircea_popescu: here's
the
thing : bronco riding is a
time-dependent event. do it for
too short intervals,
the bronco gets
the idea it's
tough.
mircea_popescu: catering
to
the common man is
the capital fucking crime.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but at least
the "common man" got beaten regularly.
mircea_popescu: ironically - democratic greece is a fucking eyesore when compared
to "tyrannyzed" greece.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, ended ~exactly same way
the argentinian right wing military experiment ended : with
the loss of an island
mircea_popescu: spoken by greek military junta man
to political prisoners.
mircea_popescu: here's something for
the historian in alf!
there's ancient statement of
the principle, recorded in 1970 milwaukee journal : "You make yourself ridiculous by
thinking you can do anything.
The word is divided in
two.
The Russians and
the Americans, no one else. What are we? Americans. Behind me
there is
the government, behind
the government is NATO, behind NATO is
the US. You can't fight us, we are Americans."
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: god damned
thing was created centuries ago. by
the fucking maramures people,
the rough equivalent of being
the darian colony, founded by
the scots.
mircea_popescu: moldavia is no
transilvania much like
the philippines are no japan.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, really. it's a pot calling kettle black situation, neither side of
this debate is in much position
to claim cultural ancientitude.
mircea_popescu: not
that a) i can even for a second imagine it wasn't entirely merited nor b) reached at any point
the level of my disdain for argentinians.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the moldavians are apparently pissed because he said
the boo boo about chisinau.
mircea_popescu: talented fellow,
this, managed
to get everyone pissed off.
mircea_popescu: ~ darker
than
the gypsies (slaves, at
the
time), you spent years begging around here, you, well received yet failed
to profer as much as
thanks. we fed you bread and salt (i dunno, it's a romanian
thing) and wine from our ample cave, but when
the morn came you
took a shit in
the flowerbed, laughing.
then
through
thousand year old forests walked
to no apparent benefit (literally, for love of
the ho), and so
there you see : no
mircea_popescu: "Fiind mai negru ca ţiganii ce-ai
tot cerşit la noi cu anii,
tu, cel primit cu dor de sus nici bogdaproste nu ne-ai spus. Cu dar de pâine şi de sare, cu vin din beciul nostru mare
te-am ospătat. Iar
tu în zori râzând,
te-ai scîrnăvit în flori. Apoi prin codri de milenii ai
tot umblat de dragul lelii. Ei, vezi atunci? Pun mâna-n foc:
tu n-ai fost cal arab, ci porc!"
mircea_popescu: apparently
there's a lot of bad blood
there. i had nfi.
mircea_popescu: lmao
til alecsandri (romanian poet) hated pushkin also!
mircea_popescu: how exactly do
they expect
to not be massacred like
the jews, when
they behave exactly like
the massacred jews ?
mircea_popescu: note
the deeply pernicious nature of fiat pretenders.
they'll yield, BUT ONLY
TO ANOTHER ONE.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the deal'd only be interesting if it came with renounciation of ru sovereignity claims.
