mircea_popescu: i suppose "an actual cryptovault you will never, ever crack" goes into
the pile of
things
the republic is going
to strike back with if rattled enough.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda
too lazy
to read, but what did
they do, caught some derp's gf's mother's (she was underage) cc on coinbase or what.
mircea_popescu: "so
then what hope for anarcho-syndicalism is
there ???" you mean
that enchanted land where you don't have
to work because you're somehow rich and yet idiots being rich does not degrade richdom ? plus you have "all
the choices" but never have
to
take one
to get
there ? "yes!!!!"
mircea_popescu: this is
the overarching point. idiot : "bitcoin empowers idiots just like me". no, it doesn't.
assbot: Logged on 02-11-2015 13:22:47; punkman: "The ransomware authors are arrested and all existing keys have been added
to our database."
mircea_popescu: Short of cauterizing your own genitals, nothing seems like it would change who you are like speaking in an-other's language. Blech, I'd rather wear someone else's underwear, no
thanks, I'll
take
the 12 credits but no way am I retaining anything."
mircea_popescu: "If you want
to watch
these invisible unconscious defenses play out right in front of you, in real
time, in a real way, watch an adult American
try
to learn a second language.
punkman: mircea_popescu: also "I wish I was rich, maybe if I had an offshore
trust"
mircea_popescu: it's like
the matrix, see.

the red pill of escaping censorship into
the loving embrace of
the nsa ofshots!

the amir
taaki - mike what's his name NEWTHEREUM!!11 next spring.
mircea_popescu: seems
the entire "bitcoin is for crymynalzzzz" is more of
the same "i wish i was cool, maybe if i put
this hat on ?"
mircea_popescu: all
the pants wetting about "Assasination markets" and whatnot is probably misplaced.
punkman: mircea_popescu: it's not so bad for
the competent, is it?
davout: just not
the same retarded stuff, "but nao with chinese
translashun!1"
mircea_popescu: davout what exactly are
they gonna do, go
take up gardening ?
mircea_popescu: <davout> "Bitcoin XT: a project run by
two men << who are
the men ?!
mircea_popescu: eagerly awayting
the amir
taaki - mike what's his name NEWTHEREUM!!11 next spring.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <btcdrak> Mike is an outright liar. <<
this is neither surprising nor remarkable by
this point.
mircea_popescu: word. "why can't i quit pop culture ?" "because
to you it's a solution, not a problem."
mircea_popescu: "There is no information
there. It is
there in order for you
to
talk about it-- so you have something
to
talk
to others about,
through a screen darkly or face
to face, because if it weren't for
these meaningless media stories which includes all partisan politics people would have nothing
to say
to each other, and society's collapse into hikikomori narcissism would be
total. Which is why it is correct
to say
that pop
mircea_popescu: "The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, Nev., has come under scrutiny since one of its patrons suffered an actual heart attack while eating a
Triple Bypass Burger
there earlier
this week."
punkman: "The ransomware authors are arrested and all existing keys have been added
to our database."
☟︎ shinohai: Not like anyone is
twisting anyone's arm and forcing
them
to run core, or anything else for
that matter.
btcdrak: the whole
thing is so crass
davout: "Bitcoin XT: a project run by
two men who already shipped a compromise solution
that reflects
the demands of miners, users and companies." <<< it strikes me as weird
then
that "users", "miners", and "companies" aren't running it, why could it be?
davout: and obviously, most of
these stances are
taken by
the marketing derps, while
the actual people who actually hold
their business
together are
too busy not caring and working on actual problems anyway
btcdrak: in fact, most of what he's written in
that article is an outright lie
btcdrak: What he means is a few companies
that dont even run
their own full nodes but have millions in VC capital have said
they support BIP101
btcdrak: "In
talking with miners and companies, one
thing I’m hearing repeatedly is “we will wait for
the second conference in December. If
there’s no progress by
then, we’ll switch
to BIP 101”.
davout: btcdrak:
the "chinese
translation here" is pretty lulzy
too

to writing like a 29 year old desperate
to keep
the VC cock interested in his fading
twink looks so he could keep up
the gay for pay
BingoBoingo: But for srs, isn't
that
the Startup incubators eating college kids racket in a nutshell. 19 year old buterin
taking it in
the ass for money. Aged as
though he's
thirty he can't
the
the VC money, he gets
the crack rock every fifth blowie in an alley money.
BingoBoingo: !s See
the advantages: you can reprogram
the faux vroom speaker for horse whinny.

mircea_popescu: supposedly
there exist suckers buying into
this. like supposedly
there existed suckers buying into
the original "sale". right-o.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: on 4 oct, last
time it was 3,
the "mkt cap" was 50mn. now 80mn. because sure, 60% inflation month
to month,
this works now.
mircea_popescu: from 1.x

then what ?
mircea_popescu: YO STUPID WOMEN : SHUT
THE FUCK UP. nobody, really, literally, nobody wants
to see or hear you.
the kitchen is good enough.
mircea_popescu: yet i am a self-deluded imbecile, who imagines she still has something
to say in spite of
that.
mircea_popescu: "Disclaimer: I am not a kernel programmer, so I may have am certain I have misinterpreted some of
the
technical aspects of Linus’s original post."
mircea_popescu: The reason I
think women are hot
today is
that
they are
today, not
that
they are hot. I watch pornos from
the seventies and I
think
to myself, "well, it would be better
than bestiality, I guess."
BingoBoingo: Apparently bear fight like
the morbidly obese: "According
to court records, Hopkins went
to feed
the bears, which was part of his job. “He entered
the bear pen and began
to place food out. Once inside, nothing separated him from
the bears. At some point while Hopkins was working,
the largest bear, Red, attacked him.
The bear knocked Hopkins
to
the ground, sat on him, and bit his leg, knee and rear-end."
BingoBoingo: Bears are supposed
to be a measure of culture
though. If meet a bear and it mauls you your culture sucks. If you meet a bear and it shares your booze, your culture is enlightened. If
the bear buggers you stop hanging around furries.
BingoBoingo: Seriously.Though it would be something
to see a bear holding hands in a circle growling out a serenity prayer.
BingoBoingo: The stories at
Thinker's Anonymous have
to suck
mircea_popescu: i wager no fucking higher power would as much as sneeze on
this one.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing
to fix here.
these aren't problems people get.
these are problems
things
trying
to masquerade as people get.
mircea_popescu: EVEN IF
they find some way
to "fix it" what
they'll have found is a way
to make empty bottles fake fullness for longer
than anyone'd care
to inquire.
mircea_popescu: this acting like every vessel
that didn't happen
to get a soul at fill-up is nevertheless full and should be given attention... sigh.
mircea_popescu: "go kill yourself. now.
this is
the best
thing any specialist could ever
tell you, and
the only
thing
that you really should hear, from anyone. you are an unfortunately failed experiment in biocombinatorics. end it already, it's both uninteresting and wasteful."
mircea_popescu: the obnoxious
thing is
that
tlp fucking coddles
the fucktard.
mircea_popescu: sadly
they're
the pathetic us passive-agressive reinterpretations
thereof.
mircea_popescu: lately. Now
that I'm nearing
the end of my academic career, I'm starting
to freak out about my career potential, and
the related anxiety has me neglecting school work even further."
mircea_popescu: "I'm an economics major who doesn't know what
the hell he is going
to do for a career after graduating, and frankly doesn't feel qualified
to do very much. I went into university
thinking
that I would
try for medical school, but I was one of
those kids in high school who got good grades without
trying very hard, and my nearly non-existent study habits have left me with a C average, although even
that has been slipping

the late 80s brought with him 5 boxes of
tapes, recorded from u.s. cable
television, commercials and all. i remember watching
the whole
thing, but i wouldn't be able
to recall any specifics. i'm pretty sure it had
