Mocky: treating me well but I haven'

BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: That word exists here verbally with substantial frequency, but... the search engines don'

mp_en_viaje: and on the cultural standard, you'll still have to explain both, it's not like one's free. "but but but, greg abbot was ~trying~ to be good!" vs "what does this button do ?", doesn'

mp_en_viaje: for that matter : by the time the 60s rolled around there were adult tejanos all over texas shaking their head at this elvis greasy, faggoty bs and thinking back to a greater time in, say, 1890, back when cattle was still speaking spanish and the east coast dudes hadn'

1960s tx is reproducible outside of a hard reset. highly coherent, profoundly skilled workforce in a complete worldview will absolutely require the conditions that spawned them, and will necessarily dissolve once the solvents show up.
diana_coman: and moreover I don'
t think it's signalling that should be a concern really (in this case or in another).
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: uhm, no, I don'
t agree on either points.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: If mike_c doesn'
t get paid it sends the signal that TMSR doesn'
t ever deal, following this external relations is difficult because of the "What the hell can a lord do for me" objection. If mike_c gets paid, TMSR matters, WoT matters, and voice has value as can be demonstrated through the outcome of the case... but the precedent is not sufficiently restrictive so as to prevent future tightening, refusals, etc.
diana_coman: ugh, I don'
t like much this precedent on precedent alone but maybe that's just me.
diana_coman: in the case where MPEx does not pay him out, I don'
t see how he has a say into what happens to the coin so I fail to see how is that part meaningful; if he wants the coin to be paid to asciilifeform entirely then he can do so once he gets it, no? if he doesn'
t get it, then he can'
t say what is to be done with it.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: If someone comes on a day after mike_c is paid out by MPEx, I can'
t imagine this hypothetical next person would receive any offer for voice nearly as cheap as 30 BTC.
BingoBoingo: The fact that he valued voice, whether MPEx pays him out or not... I don'
t see how that isn'
t submission. In his best case he gets coin out, maybe he does turn it all over to hostile parties. He agreed that in his worst case where MPEx does not pay him out... his coin stays with Republican interests.
BingoBoingo: mike_c gave us what
Daphna Waxman didn'
t. Sure, Daphna Waxman is salt pork that happens to maybe still be on the hoof. If Daphna Waxman ever shows up... for mike_c's decision to make a deal... there is a screw to be turned.
diana_coman: ftr I do NOT mean that he shouldn'
t get the coin or anything of the sort; I literally mean what I say above namely that I don'
t see how does that qualify for submission.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: as things stand, he is at any rate after getting the coin to use outside tmsr; because can'
t yet "find time" or whatever; sure, some price to pay for getting it out, that much his actions acknowledge + some appreciation for asciilifeform's work, certainly.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-17 05:00:55 mp_en_viaje: i get we're basically getting scammed by the duplicitous nature of the lazy, and will be, forever. cuz that's how the world goes, that's how laziness survives as a survival mechanism in the first place. but i'd much rather we understand each other on the topic, than it just proceed on my authority and then whatever, ten years later it'll be "mp just shouldn'
t have paid all these asshats" or who the fuck knows what
BingoBoingo: I really don'
t see how in this case mike_c could have demonstrated "non-aggression" alone. For his action, he actively acknowledged WoT supremacy. For his recognition of WoT supremacy,
laziness has a demonstrable cost. BingoBoingo: Maybe you don'
t want to call it submission, but it is an acknowledgement of the Republic as Sovereign.
diana_coman: hm; I think it shows non-agressiveness; whether submission, I don'
t quite see it.
ossabot: (asciilifeform) 2019-12-18 mike_c: BingoBoingo: I changed my mind, and my offer to hire you: I send you fee of 30 BTC (same amount the mpex account cost coincidentally). If you lose the case and I don'
t recover my dividend, you send 10 BTC to ascii (nothing to me). If you win and I do recover, then I send 10 BTC to ascii (and you keep the 30). in case of partial recovery, i dunno, we do something gentlemanly.
BingoBoingo: It didn'
t take many lines of conversation or a whole hour for mike_c to find that the after missing out on things over the years like the entire history of an ISP... An actual demonstration of the value of WoT position and the barriers presented by WoT gating was his best possible demonstration of submission.

mp_en_viaje: what's more, this has played out quite a few times to date, it either dies from inconsequence ("and so who the fuck are you and him anyways ?"), is resolved through some kinda mediation ("how about instead of fucking each other you do x and live ?") or else "you/him is a complete fuckwad, get the fuck lost, i can'
t even believe you can have this problem."
mp_en_viaje: anyway, to get back to the "recourse from negrating" thing -- you and him argue, i'm definitely getting stuck with making some choices. there's no out of this, and it doesn'
t matter what you load into "you, him, i".
