mircea_popescu: also reaction catholicism, but more 600ish
than 1800ish
danielpbarron: catholics freely admit
that
they don't follow
the Bible, and
that some guy with a funny hat can arbitrarily change
the rules as he pleases
mircea_popescu: the entire "every sperm is sacred"
thing is more reaction-catholicism
than anything.
danielpbarron:
http://www.atruechurch.info/masturbation.html The sexual desire is a God given desire (Romans 11:36) and it is not evil in and of itself (Romans 14:14). Moreover, God has made a way for even
those who are not married (male or female), or
those who are away from
their spouse (like a soldier at war),
to at least somewhat satisfy
the sexual drive via masturbation. It is oppressive
to
teach
that such an act is against
the will o
mircea_popescu: by
the way, if ne1 here has a fetlife account, i finally moved over, drop me a line.
danielpbarron: even i briefly authored a web commic, although i don't
think any copies of it remain anywhere
mircea_popescu: So please do not send me
the following
types of E-mail: "commission requests -- I just do not have
the
time for commissions"
thestringpuller: So
the redditards want
to impose straight up communism on us?
thestringpuller: this is like coworker who brings
team down but is never fired because government keeps
them working
davout: "sure you can use bitcoin if you want
to"
thestringpuller: "Because it's my fucking right
to use bitcoin even
though I contribute nothing
to it."
mircea_popescu: coming from people who utterly refuse
to admit
they;d be better off in chains in someone;'s basement... well... what's
to be expected.
mircea_popescu: davout daughter of
the wider insanity "everything new is better" married with
the patently nuts "better is what i imagine it
to be".
davout: thestringpuller: 'fair money' exists in
the mind of redditards, don't ask me what it means
thestringpuller: davout how is money ever fucking fair? one person having more resources
that are finite means another person has less?!?!?
davout: thestringpuller: no, some people had, buried somewhere in
them,
the idea
that bitcoin would not only be money, but 'nice money'
thestringpuller: I guess people just don't like being
told, "Hey you're poor, and excluded from
this cool
thing nao cause you are useless. Kthxbai."
mircea_popescu: it's a fact
that beards grow after death. i wonder if women lubricate
through a similar process.
mircea_popescu: beheading naked kings on
the vaguest whiff of approaching even small ones -> best policy.
mircea_popescu: but economy is built on money and
thus fungible. a bunch of small ones add up.
mike_c: that's a big one
though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. "bitcoin will continue
to function as before"
thestringpuller makes note
to look at
this specific log later with popcorn in hand
mircea_popescu: one could never have made a bitcoin without a block reward.
this, of course, means
that we now have a promise
to renege on. but i'm not about
to start reneging on promises.
mike_c: it was always "you gotta pay for it". most people just don't connect
the dots
to understand
that's what inflation is.
mircea_popescu: what
that changes... ask
them, not me,
to borrow an alfism.
mircea_popescu: to a large degree, it was obvious
that once we move from "inflation pays for it"
to "you gotta pay for it"
the "consumers have come
to expect" were going
to
throw a shitfest.
mike_c: hehe, yeah,
that was a good one
mircea_popescu: mike_c like
the butcher said, "i merely follow
the lulzlines already present".
davout: according
to some random bitcointalk dude
the chinese journalist computed
the loss by multiplying fake bitcoins on
the order book by
the current market price
davout: the whole
thing is pure bs
mircea_popescu: it's possible, obviously,
the chinese are nazi-private, but i dun really see it.
mircea_popescu: yeah in usd. still,
this is like mpoe level, i very much doubt it.
mircea_popescu: davout: never heard about it, but apparently
they're putting bs&t
to shame with a $400mn loss, sounds doubtful << yeah srsly, sounds like pure bs.
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2015 08:48:34; cazalla: gee what an afternoon, kid makes a run for it while changing his nappy, i end up covered in shit and
then piss
davout: today #b-a explains
the fedoras
thing
nubbins`: i
thought
that's why cops wore funny hats.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, my measure
to resolve
the "police violence"
thing would be a) everyone with a mental issue must wear a funny hat.
mircea_popescu: anyway, people only should hide
the fact
that
they have a mental ilness if
they wish
to get shot.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, who can't donate sperm.
to women. directly.
nubbins`: "i don't
think people should have
to hide
the fact
that
they have blood-borne pathogens" says
the guy with Hep C who can't donate blood
nubbins`: "I don't
think
that people should have
to hide
the fact
that
they have a mental illness," Cooper said.
nubbins`: leaving aside
the fact
that
the kid faked a SINGLE panic attack
TWO YEARS AGO in order
to get out of an exam
nubbins`: i
think
the kid is unsure as
to whether
the armed forces is a prison or a gang bang
nubbins`: do some
time? give it some service?
nubbins`: “I just want
to do some
time for my country, give it some service,” Cooper, 17,
told CBC News.
nubbins`: ;;google jonathan richman since she started
to ride
nubbins`: also, who
the fuck hates
the name "jonathan" so much
that
they wanna change it? what a loser
nubbins`: i
thought he just wanted someone
to pay $500 for him
to change his middle name
mircea_popescu: derp wants someone
to pay for his surgery because one month's worth of government dole is
too much for him ?
nubbins`: sadly, i don't
think
this will be replicated
nubbins`: remember
the
time i sold
two 0.5-btc casascius coins for 27 btc? o.O
nubbins`: je voudrais quelque choses, what
they are, no one knows!
mircea_popescu: i'd expect it's exactly as full of morons as bitcoin generally, just, you have better benchmarks in
that corner.
nubbins`: casascius market is full of fucking morons
though
nubbins`: generally numismatics are a poor way
to invest money
nubbins`: trying
to decide if "magnubs" or "nubpie" is
the more appropriate portmanteau
nubbins`: but once you get an eye for it, you're better able
to identify what people will desire in
the future
nubbins`: mircea_popescu i really just like shiny
things
mircea_popescu thinks
this entire "numismatics as an investment"
thing is not unlike
the "my balcony garden as a
tomato farm"
thing, but hey.
thestringpuller: not incredibly inclined
to sell it off for sentimental reasons etc
nubbins`: whether
this is
the same money i receive from
the sale of
this coin is, i believe, inconsequential
nubbins`: i'm going
to buy another with "my money"
nubbins`: incidentally, i have a 1.125oz Canadian numismatic piece from 2013
that I priced
the other day... has increased in value by 50% since last summer o.O
nubbins`: it's
the dirtiest coin i have, figured i'd pawn it off and replace with a nicer specimen
fluffypony: well
that is quite a change from your last work :-P
Naphex: fluffypony: its porn
though :D
Naphex: and a bitcoin exclusive. i'll keep it down low a bit until i get closer
to launch date :D
