mircea_popescu: a club is a space dedicated to sluts being as close as naked as possible and to keeping young cocks of the type that work in co-ops mostly out. it should be no less than 1k sq meters floor surface with no less than two levels.
mircea_popescu: that's the size of a fucking lobby.
assbot: Logged on 02-01-2016 01:17:07; pete_dushenski: i guess that a forced vaccine seems like a pound of flesh too far, but on the other hand, when you already have income tax and sales tax and inflation tax and etc etc. maybe not ?

lobito: that's the idea behind faircoop :P you have said it earlier
mircea_popescu: as seen in that film, what's it called...
mircea_popescu: that's the idea neh ? chicks that don't shave and scrape by a meager existence raising chickens supplemented with gathering trash. it's self-fussicient, provided someone keeps producing trash.
assbot: Logged on 02-01-2016 01:07:01; lobito: faircoin is a bitcoin-based currency for the faircoop project
ascii_rear: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-01-2016#1358429 << holyfuck am i the only one who r ☝︎
ascii_rear: parents sold their worldly goodz for gaussheadz
mircea_popescu: o yeah. gauss ruled trade for a decade.
ascii_rear: i still recall the gauss head
mircea_popescu: but otherwise... the notion that anything ro made would be shit was pervasive, so it was self-obvious
ascii_rear: just as eurozone has 'own' bezzlar today
assbot: Logged on 01-01-2016 23:28:50; pete_dushenski: but should jimmy also have to pay for the ~actual~ cost of his grade school education just because he didn't get the vaccine ? only if his parents also opted out of taxes, i say, which since this isn't the future, i don't see that also happening (yet)
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-01-2016#1358375 << how d'you propose to price the damage to herd immunity? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: any attempt to do this is merely an exercise at enriching #b-a at public expense.
mircea_popescu: (yes, they tried)
mircea_popescu: this is like the spanish protecting themselves from piracy by "narrowing the manners in which ships sail"
assbot: Logged on 02-01-2016 01:22:43; mircea_popescu: fundamentally, fiat banking requires the world economy to work as a closed system. once bitcoin's on the table... forget it.
ascii_rear: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-01-2016#1358489 << more than one way to make the closedsystem... sya, narrow the class of what bezzle buys (i.e. not isis arms AND not-btc..) ☝︎
assbot: Philip Greenspun's Weblog » The EU was Hitler’s idea, apparently ... ( http://bit.ly/1SrmaXF )
pete_dushenski: http://blogs.harvard.edu/philg/2015/12/30/national-socialist-and-lover/ << quotes from 'goebbels : a biography' are notbad, definitely saves you $20 for the hardcover
mircea_popescu: fundamentally, fiat banking requires the world economy to work as a closed system. once bitcoin's on the table... forget it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski iirc point was even discussed in the logs. it's how banking ends.
mircea_popescu: every system's unfair to someone.
pete_dushenski: "From 2006 to 2008, Duran took out 68 commercial and personal loans from a total of 39 banks with no guarantees or property as collateral. He had no intention of repaying the debts, and used the money to finance various anti-capitalist movements" << why more people don't do this ~exact same thing~ to buy bitcoin is a wonder
lobito: he thinks the current economic system's unfair
lobito: have you read the communist manifesto?
mircea_popescu: can you explain this difference ?
lobito: trinque: that analogy's not quite right
pete_dushenski: i guess that a forced vaccine seems like a pound of flesh too far, but on the other hand, when you already have income tax and sales tax and inflation tax and etc etc. maybe not ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway. there;s clearly a trend for overvaccination. too young, for one thing ; all sorts of pointless, spurious shit. what drives it is the twin beast of merck wants profits and random derp thinks that if a drink is good ten drinks should be better.
pete_dushenski: ^start there, lobito
assbot: Enric Duran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1OpRNzm )
mircea_popescu: people like to conflate things.
pete_dushenski: in the case of mosquitoes
mircea_popescu: or you mean i nthe case of the totally spurious zona zooster vaccine ?
mircea_popescu: you mean in the case of polio ?
mircea_popescu: ymmv, but political thinking re vaccines is of the same category.
mircea_popescu: i tell you, if world is ramping up to exterminate mosquitoes and some derp decides that it's his god given right to keep stale water on "his propertah" ima shoot him and burn his propertah down.
assbot: Logged on 02-01-2016 00:53:49; mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> re: vaccinations as a barrier to entry for government subsidies for children, it seems to me that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children should be on the hook for any adverse eventualities of that decision <<< this stance is nonsensical in that the more notable adverse eventualities are also externalities.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-01-2016#1358395 << so contribute to herd immunity or gtfo ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: maybe start your journey by looking into the lulzy story of that garza nitwit. should be instructive.
lobito: they call him the spanish robin hood or something
lobito: faircoop it's by some spanish guy who stole from banks to give to self-organized workers
mircea_popescu: yeah, the dwarf is probably all into it\
lobito: faircoin is a bitcoin-based currency for the faircoop project ☟︎
mircea_popescu: gotta load up on teh history first, it's rich.
mircea_popescu: you're new. this is how bitcoin scams work.
mircea_popescu: "So, in order to address this issue, some of the Bitcoin developers have joined hands with the makers of the widely used BTCsuite and are now building their own new digital currency called DECRED." << except a) nobody fucking uses "btcsuite" and b) who was this again ? they keep avoiding actually naming those "developers".
lobito: *left the project
lobito: i understand some of the core devs of bitcoin left the and started decred
mircea_popescu: is this the new scamcoin usg folks are going to bless us with after the demise of xt ?
lobito: any thoughts about decred or faircoin?
lobito: i wanted to lurk around to see if anyone brings the subject
lobito: i've been following faircoin too
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> re: vaccinations as a barrier to entry for government subsidies for children, it seems to me that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children should be on the hook for any adverse eventualities of that decision <<< this stance is nonsensical in that the more notable adverse eventualities are also externalities. ☟︎
shinohai: oh wait, that makes sense. but jeez, thats almost as bad as the girls that fought over fried chicken.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> BingoBoingo: "is still to late to be the "Wall Street" of Bitcoin." << one of these to/too/twos is not like the other << fxd
assbot: How Stories Deceive - The New Yorker ... ( http://bit.ly/1R55Oos )
pete_dushenski: ^who would lie about being raped by the duke lacrosse team ? durr
pete_dushenski: "Azzopardi instinctively knew how to get emotions going to the point where nothing else mattered. Her pictures had told a story—a devastating story that no sane person would ever lie about. Who makes up a history of sex trafficking? What kind of person do you need to be?"
pete_dushenski: but should jimmy also have to pay for the ~actual~ cost of his grade school education just because he didn't get the vaccine ? only if his parents also opted out of taxes, i say, which since this isn't the future, i don't see that also happening (yet) ☟︎
pete_dushenski: re: vaccinations as a barrier to entry for government subsidies for children, it seems to me that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children should be on the hook for any adverse eventualities of that decision, but really only as it pertains to that aspect of their child's health, being the working point for that decision. no polio vaccine for jimmy ? then jimmy gets polio ? then pay up for treatment, no free
shinohai: ^ that law would go ovr like a lead balloon here in U.S. with all the hipster parents these days
pete_dushenski reads, finds that blood draws aren't for ~all~ people passing through checkpoints, as he first suspected
