that "it's impenetrable", but rather
that it is semi-permeable and oft permeated.
mircea_popescu: ~only way
to make yourself rich in
the socialist empire, be it of
the "egalite fraternite humanatee" revolution or of
the "faggotry, equality, poverty" revolution, is
through

tax farm.

this morn i woke up, executed a bottle of champagne with homemade apple pie and scantily clad damsels
to
the backing of 70s/80s italian made-for-tv comedies (atti impuri, anyone ever seen ?
THAT is how you make shit for
the
tv!).
mircea_popescu: cheaper
to not do stupid
thing
than
to find ways
to "do it 3% better". for
the obvious reason - you're doing stupid
thing because of state, which means it'll immediately self-level.
mircea_popescu: the only
thing it's good for is for better satisfaction of "publish or perish"
mircea_popescu: "let's all stand on

the brain is economical ; only has one inhibition.
mircea_popescu: second off, "10x" bull. it's an unmeasurable 9.9x vs allegedly 10.1x, except so deep under
the random variation sea it's not worth investigating.
mircea_popescu: first off, "losens inhibitions",
tell you what, igot plenty of inhibited derps drunk when i was a
teen. best sex was still in between
the
thighs of
the sluts.

the 'sex is
the devil's
temptation' idiots have easy pickings in
that climate.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-07 19:26 mircea_popescu: "Empirically
the most ‘attractive’ man in our community including for purposes of casual sex is Mike Blume, who (I’ve asked a woman or
two) achieves
this by being extremely polite, reliable, and generating a feeling of being very safe
to be around or date (contrary
to a number of people who’d allege
that
this is beta-male behavior who I’m beginning
to suspect are just sheerly empirically wrong)." << aha
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 15:20 asciilifeform: i'm still quite unconvinced
that empire is better off selling, e.g.,

the grandchildren of

the inhabited usa
trinque: aw I was hoping
that one came from
trump
mod6: <+shinohai> "Delete your account" so professional. << "Delete your emails" response was
top kek
trinque: shinohai: no,
the
two candidates for president are having a slap fight on
twitter while
the audience posts gifs
BingoBoingo: Right,
the reason
they all suck is
they recycle press releases or all share
the same stable of Buttnixen Who write
the same
text for different stories which obliterates any chance for contrast.
shinohai: Most other Bitcoin related news sites are exact clones of each other,
the ones I know of anyway. Bitcoinist is probably
the worst.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Gotta understand how
the enemy works. Especially when it has ossified itself into committee driven beast.
BingoBoingo: If you add being insufferable pricks
to
the second part while overdoing it on memes (i.e. you don't have content because everything is a forced meme) you end up with
the Gawker media formula.
BingoBoingo: Having our own memes is important for establishing a Qntra identity
that goes beyond Qntra>Coindesk while also cultivating a shared experience among our readers
through humor.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: shinohai: See here all future production of
these information products is covered in
the cases where actual hack seems unlikely, and we continue
the "Him in our
time" meme.
BingoBoingo: Fine shinohai I'll show you how
to handle
this.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: See, its stolen passwords indexed
to
twitter accounts.
BingoBoingo: Maybe write
that was possible? I have no idea what you are
talking about.
shinohai: I suspect
there was no hack, it is merely cross-ref'd data from
the other 3 hacks by peace.
shinohai: I didn't do story on supposed
twitter hack because unverifiable ... yet it is on front page of r/bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: Someone got crazy loading up hamlet.stanford.edu with vietnamese spam links and putting
them in spam comments
to qntra, so blacklisted
trinque: yep
true, by any route it seems
to require someone selling
the person out on
the back end
trinque: asciilifeform:
those card drainers might be doing a succession of rapid "auth"
transactions against
the card searching for
the limit,
then settling
the
transaction for
the highest amount it can find
that works
phf: philadelphia is all led pipes so
they just give you a little paper
that lets you
test
the water for free, and

☟︎ trinque: and of course
they're arguing for more govt mandated medical screening rather
than y'know, how bout we learn
the millenia old magick of water piping and not shitting where we eat
phf: a range of Pre✓™ branded experiences.
Taxes Pre✓™ where you fill out one form and pay slightly below average (but still not as much as an accountant would save you), Building Pre✓™ where you fill out one form and can build a mcmanshion on your property (but not any other kind of building), etc.
phf: "Includes
the
TSA Pre✓™ Experience"
phf: which reminds me, i gotta sign up for
that PRE shit..
