Namworld: [18:23] <+mircea_popescu> people should be targeted in a dismissive manner. builds character.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, did you went to college yourself? it's a bit of a trend now apparently for people in IT set on becoming rich
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: how old school "that" is ... which "that" are you referring to?
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: come to think of it, I think it was actually you who originally posted that in a bitcoin channel a couple years ago
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, hah, I like that bani-pentru-piariste article; If it was up to me I would have skipped college, but parents... *sigh*

kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: mostly I'm just already jaded and given up on any sort of quota for how much offensive shit I'm going to be bothered by at any given time... it sometimes takes a bit of effort to "give up and just go with it"

cazalla: mircea_popescu, still too skinny
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: as mircea_popescu said, this isn't an ontological discussion (and then you chimed in to qualify: it's political)
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: oh, no, I don't think humans are AT ALL MEANINGFUL IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE EVER
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: this is more better than... whatever the fuck that particult urban dictioary gibberish was (and unlike urban dictionary, has actual citations) ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyriarchy
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: nah, far from it -- demisexual is a thing
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i don't think people who refrain from drinking actually fuck, my missus for example
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: I don't agree to that joke about "desperate", particularly when demisexual persons are considered part of the asexual spectrum, and in my case, I don't particularly have a strong & compelling sex drive a lot of the time
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, compared to other types, artsy chicks are fewer, so more difficulty in getting one
benkay: <mircea_popescu> try and find some twentysomething that ISNT belabouring under the delusion that she can "create" art. // srsly
benkay: mircea_popescu: seems that training slaves is one of those things you can only learn by doing

cazalla: mircea_popescu, well yeah, if i'm honest that was part of it

DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, could use some tutoring about stocks / shares / dividends as well, mainly from the perspective of getting something listed
mircea_popescu: <benkay> kakobrekla, mike_c, jurov, mircea_popescu: i think this is an open question. does F.DERP NAV include coverage? << yes. let's model this thing :

kuzetsa: did I miss anything when I wandered off other than mircea_popescu ... wait, what
benkay: on an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TOPIC, mircea_popescu what sorts of events will trigger F.DERP divs?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't about the money, but the chain. long chain or short chain, no matter. but, if the 20k came from a mythical machine that disgorges dough, that'd be a different matter. in my book, that's a 'fortune' - because no chain.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ...count themselves as paupers << yep

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gasenwagen... triage. <<< you failed to qualify >> so far.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually, aren't they derping about various russian citizens sanctions and whatnot << so far, the only effect is to make u.s. small arms collectors pay double for kalash
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, roger; was confused at first to see "Credits: 4" on your website, as I was thinking of the "cast" thingy like in movies; but yeah, you seem to write quite a bit about everything, so I see that working more and more with time as people get more familiar with technologies and digital currencies and become less scrubs hopefully
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: oooh, so the google translate server farm thinger has been detected as having exceeded quota?
DreadKnight: what's with the nudes? mircea_popescu :D
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: oooh, so is it an idiomatic non-literal phrase similar to in english, calling someone a "know-it-all" ?
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: I didn't know for sure, so I tossed the partial phrase: [unu’ care se pricepe la absolut tot] into google translate -- romanian?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, guess not...
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, by removing stuff from log
