punkman: so just let
them destroy productive farms and dry out
the delta, so
they can water some piece of desert down south?
chetty: or, haha,
the routes go
thru
the 'red' areas on
the map
chetty: well knowing cali
they are probably picking routes
thru
the best crop land, and offering a penny an acre
punkman: this is not a
train
though
mircea_popescu: i mean, it's one
thing when
they were simply stealing property
to give
to others who
they figured "would pay more
tax".
that's fungible. but
this isn't -
train gotta go straight.
mircea_popescu: what,
train's gonna go around old man joe's property forever more because 180 years ago
there lived a curmudgeon ?
mircea_popescu: you know, opposing eminent domain for stuff like
this is a little nutty.
punkman: and nobody will use all
those spiffy guns
they like
to polish and fondle
mircea_popescu: "you can either sell it at prevailing market values, or we'll
take it at prevailing market values".
punkman: "Under
the plan, landowners would have 30 days
to consider and negotiate a one-time state offer, while officials simultaneously prepare
to
take
the land by forced sale if owners declined
to sell. "Negotiations
to continue in parallel with eminent domain proceedings,"
the plan notes."
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 20:50:22; BingoBoingo: In other news one interview for one job
today seemed
to go meh,
the other job's interview seemed
to go well. Hoping I can get
that regular fiat income
to start standing up srs noedz
assbot: Logged on 18-08-2015 03:11:33; wilbns: it seems fiat currencies will continue
to exist for many generations
to come, perhaps actual paper form will deminish, but an electronic register or display of some number of dollars for whoever
the viewer is, will carry with it some semblance of wealth
assbot: Logged on 18-08-2015 03:10:43; BingoBoingo: Given 2015 so far Hearnia must have planned
to actually release XTCoin
the first weekend of September. He ended up jumping
the gun because USG pinoy spamzors. We won.
ag3nt_zer0: nothing quite like curling up with a nice bowl of fresh buttery popcorn, a blankey, and I Am Cait Ep. 3... should be a community event
though, like a
trip
to
the
traveling wagon freak show - alas, my fellow americans seemed
to have lost
their ability
to be astonished along with
their sense of humor... I happily gaze at
the four horsethingys (or is it
taped?) baphomet myself...
mircea_popescu: hey, which anglo nut made a 50 copy edition of his crappy poetry and jacked off on
the lot ? was it burroughs ?
BingoBoingo: bried survey of dex-kensaw also suggests many local with farms due
to
the substantial median size of holding possess "air
tractor" which could be loaded with kerosene instead of monsanto for Joe Stack++
wilbns: BingoBoingo, yes, noticed
that
too - until someone from another religion flies a plane into a building.
mircea_popescu: wilbns i
think if anyone in here's religious beliefs managed
to survive in here for
this long
they'll be fine.
BingoBoingo: wilbns:
The big
thing is such sectarians are more competitive with other similar factions
than
they are with any outsider groups.
BingoBoingo: wilbns:
Thing is... While
there are a lot of goups in
that area which engage in such extreme sectarianism... Some on
the girls are hot and
the region is vulnerable
to conquest by actual people.
wilbns: it is also challenging
the fear of god society and some religious institutions instill in people in
the area. originally from arkansas and lived
there 22 years, experienced first-hand. was sent
to religious camp in branson 7 years in a row. bizarre at
times. btw, no offense
to anyone in here's religious beliefs, none of my business. just putting forth an
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell Belxjander Pls fix your connection for
the love of fuck
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell shinohai weren't you going
to submit a qntra???
BingoBoingo offer
that yes, Kismet is supposed
to be
the white handmaiden of Satan keeping
true Africa down, but Whitey is violent
to no one else like his is
to his fellow white man
BingoBoingo: Land
that flat, covered in carbohydrates was made
to host a great fire for
the glory of Kismet
BingoBoingo never got more
twitter mentions
than when
trolling after Mizzou beat Kansas in Baseketballs
BingoBoingo: But dex-Kensaw civilized. Levo-Kensaw barbarians General Quatrill was more
than right
to burn
BingoBoingo: When alternatives always default
to levo and dexo as options over
trans and cis for
the lulz
BingoBoingo: d-kansas is refered
to as Arkansas in
the common
tongue, grows rice
phf: asciilifeform: mine worked by doing a core dump on key press, and
then you had
to do a binary diff on a set of
those. i kind of realized
that i could put a diff/search algo into
the
tsr, but
that was beyond my algorithm construction abilities at
the
time
mircea_popescu: it should be noted
that
the civilisation
that chose
to feed itself on wheat, a plant famous for and a plant whose only strategy is,
to overinvest in its progeniture
mircea_popescu: but
then in a few years it's drownerd out by more sanely balanced plants.
assbot: Logged on 18-08-2015 03:04:29; asciilifeform: mats: usg, like wheat (the latter as described in mircea_popescu's essay 'when you become wheat')
thrives in a half-destroyed world
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-08-2015#1241775 <<
the point here being (perhaps unfamiliar
to some readers)
that wheat is not a sort of plant
that survives, except in particular situations : say post volcanic eruption, when everything's been burned down.
then
the weed makes a quick colonisation, because of its disproportionate seeds.
☝︎ phf: asciilifeform: i didn't get my hands on one of
those until early 2000s, hence had
to write my own. i vaguely recall a collection of
tsr on a hacker
tools cd
that i bought in a metro perehod :), but at
the
time i somehow didn't pay enough attention
to
them
mircea_popescu: no, dirty little helper was a lengthy collection of various
tidbits.
mircea_popescu: (in proper
terms : clueless people don't have what
to delude
themselves with)
wilbns: BingoBoingo: roger
that
mircea_popescu: clueless people haver a lot more sense
than
to starve.
BingoBoingo also looking for fiat paying work, but only in positions where
the only economic consequence of my employment would be occupying an already fungible position
BingoBoingo: wilbns: As far as you need be concerned
though I have less
than a proper
transaction fee in BTC.
wilbns: BingoBoingo:
that would be a nice outcome from where we are now, being able
to move in and out so easily. hopefully by
that point
there will also be less volatility
to
the downside in relation
to
the bottlecaps.
mats: if
to carry rifle, plenty of mexicans for
that
task already
mats: if for my computing skills... not good enough at pwning arbitrary systems
to be useful (yet)
phf: mats: he was a junior at
the company, so not much of a career. i
think
the objective is
to work for a company
that has offices at multiple locations. when i worked for another bank
that will remain nameless,
the opportunity was always implied from
the beginning. in fact a lot of places like
that love people with no local attachments, because means easy and cheap relocation.
mats: why would zetas
trust a chinese american citizen
BingoBoingo: <wilbns> asciilifeform: ah yes,
thanks for
the link - imagining one day in fact how silly it will be
to hold up a $100 bill, or
to go
to an ATM. perhaps only
those in "emerging markets" or "third world countries" will use such
types of antiquated
technologies and means of exchange. << I personally plan on eventually only every
trading in an out of Bitcoin with year's worth of whatever
the local bottlecaps happen
to be

BingoBoingo: mats: What
though is stopping you from moving
to Aztalan?
mats: phf: i have
the same plan, but presumably further behind in my career
than him
phf: mats: i have a former colleague from a financial firm, who moved
to hk recently, he's chinese, but i
take it his mandarin is poor and cantonese non-existent. he's working for an english speaking company
there and slowly getting his language up
to speed. his reasoning for
the move was "this boat is leaking"
BingoBoingo: mats: First I'll have
to know you are in. Second I will have
to not be in Chicago fema camp (because FEMA must
take us
to
the places we hate most)
mats: BingoBoingo: plz break me out,
there is a bitcoin reward in it for you
wilbns: these new derivative markets
that are forming out of distributed / shared ledger
technology could perhaps be
the new stage for some form of electronic economy
that will exist on a
trillion/quadrillion level.
the average person may only perceive
that kind of scale at
the end of
the year, when milk costs $10
mats: can't do computing work if i can't even read
the damned
terminals
mats: asciilifeform:
things haven't degenerated enough in us for me
to consider returning
BingoBoingo: Hearn lost so bad "unidentified"
turrorist bombed expat
Thailand
today. Presumably
to
try
to get Goat and scare people with insulfation faith in USG out of defecting.
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2014 01:31:58; asciilifeform: ifetimes some
tin-pot pseudo-nationalist leader will print up ugly slips of paper with pictures of dead people, Masonic symbols and big numbers, and attempt
to charge people for using
them as a medium of exchange in all
transactions, and your great-grandchildren need
to know, from an early age,
that it is a scam. It is an official scvam, backed up by
the
threat of violence, but it is still a scam."

☟︎ phf: i gave her "kniga oborotnya" and she concluded
that
the book was dull and poorly paced, which is something i agree with, probably my least favorite p book
BingoBoingo: Given 2015 so far Hearnia must have planned
to actually release XTCoin
the first weekend of September. He ended up jumping
the gun because USG pinoy spamzors. We won.
☟︎ mats: for all practical purposes i am illiterate and have almost no meatwot
there
mats: asciilifeform: nope, its at least five years in
the distance
BingoBoingo: <mats> or, you know,
the buttcoins, but i dunno whether we'll ever win
the war at
this rate << War was won.
mats: or, you know,
the buttcoins, but i dunno whether we'll ever win
the war at

phf: asciilifeform: she enjoyed it, and picked up on some subtleties, in any case more
then i expected, but i
think it was good enough for first reading
mats: i hope my dollars will still be good for renminbi exchange when
the
time comes
mats: folks
the world over are buying USD as
their own currencies get devalued by USG mismanagement
BingoBoingo: <mats> i am still unprepared
to flee
to .cn << We all have
to contemplate destinations other
