asciilifeform: it's almost like trying to hide food from bear.
asciilifeform: they 'made eyes', pretended to friendly, acted as if they were happy to see asciilifeform , for no good reason, set off all kindsa alarm
asciilifeform: BigTexasBingo: experience from timis expedition. i had them benjies nicely sealed up but these critters could still smell'em
asciilifeform: invites the q : where did they liquidate the ipnojes, wedding rings, Last Shirts, that people put in
asciilifeform: but what was interesting is that none of the pawnshops ~sold~ anything in the storefront. only bought. little hole in the wall, you put in goodies and get a few orcbux
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform found it interesting , in timisoara , there were '9000' betting-shops, each with 2-3 pawn shops right next. moar than cafes, moar than just about any commercial item, betting shops.
asciilifeform: 'make him think he has A System For Winning (tm)(r), he'll go home and fetch his gold to pawn' etc
asciilifeform: there was an ancient link re carnival and casino-flavoured chumpatronics , where a historian of the subj observed this
asciilifeform: 'superlinear' (to continue earlier thread..) chumpatron just about always has this property, of convincing the mark that he 'got something over' the orig perp
asciilifeform: and it isn't even trivial to dissuade one of these , the organ-collector van keeps not coming and not coming
asciilifeform: worse, some of these folx even imagine themselves successful scammers : 'hey i milked 100k's worth of meritwashium out of mit, now all i gotta do is find another'
asciilifeform: hey they're Educated, they have ipadz, made of 100% purest ipadium
asciilifeform: ( why shouldn't it ? same logic as 'give EVERYONE PHREEMONEYZ' )
asciilifeform: shinohai: but does it come with an arse-mouth phree-food hose!
asciilifeform: it's a simpleenuff item that there's really 0 excuse for not making own.
asciilifeform: prolly it oughta have a 'dir exists' eggog, rather than a delete
asciilifeform: oh ffs did v.pl rm -rf ~ this poor d00d
asciilifeform: because of the retarded way in which gnupatch behaves ( it tries to merge, even though v ~explicitly~ forbids the CONCEPT of merge ) it is necessary
asciilifeform: think of it this way, would you rather converse with a person, or with a talking piece of pavement ?
asciilifeform: from_ffa: so please consider logging in
asciilifeform: knubie: kirill & mifodiy are three doors down..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no rush. but gotta put it in therecordz.
asciilifeform: what i mean is, several new faces, but wholly matching the pattern of 'i'ma decimation-style greek choir here, nobody will notice that i only post redditola, take no part in projects or actual discussion, etc'
asciilifeform: e.g. FUCKGOATS is also 'plainly and publicly documented'. number of detectable clones made : 0
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-10#1768556 << there was some old essay , from early days of linux , re 'there once was the command line' or sumthinglikethat, that had a line 'you can give away free jagdtigers , and nobody will believe, no one will come for them, toogoodtobetrue'☝︎
asciilifeform: in that it is a resident infection in chump's head. rather than a 'nyahaha, i sold you a cutting board painted as ipad, and i'ma run faster than you can catch'
