mats_cd03 returns
to beating vagrant into submission
mats_cd03: i get
the distinct impression
there's no good distro left besides gentoo
mats_cd03: >
that bears a striking resemblance
to an androgynous lesbian. A heterosexual dude who, at first glance, is often mistaken for a boyish lesbian. He is usually of smaller build, wears ambiguous attire, (ie: skinny jeans, Chuck
Taylors) and cuts his hair into a faux hawk or other such lesbian-trademarked coiffure.

mats_cd03: now,
to look for another distro now
that debian's been converted
to systemd....
BingoBoingo: Of course
they do. It's how
they have
to learn
through pennance.
mircea_popescu: dude don't
tell me
the forum muppetry actually fucks itself
to memorialize being fucked.
mircea_popescu: "If you have ever been F#CKED using BTCitcoin for something
this would be a great way
to memorialize
that as well."
punkman: he
totally had
to use his wood-turning skills and make it ribbed

kakobrekla: buyer : "now
that you finally made
the
thing, you can go fuck yourself. bye"
kakobrekla: > It was commissioned by a person on
this forum but
then
they back out half way
through completion. Original price was $600usd.
nubbins`: anyway, if anyone's interested,
there's maybe
ten books left in
the first edition of our latest, so get 'em while
they're hot
jurov: the book "Listen, Little Man!" is good,
too, except for wtf conclusions
jurov: nubbins` if you're ever gonna make some b-a book,
these reich images are very fitting

mircea_popescu: it's also
the one
to most famously rebel against its status, but so what of
that.
mircea_popescu: artist is a servile profession.
the long and
the short of it.
jurov: i guess mircea meant pople working for general public as opposed
to
their master
nubbins`: anyone working for someone else is a busker if you wanna split
that hair
the rest of
the way
mircea_popescu: yeah,
this i
true in
the reverse. bloggers
that write for someone else aren't much more
than buskers.
BingoBoingo: jurov: what's with
the submissions
to qntra containing lengthy documents verbatim? << lengthy documents go into blockquotes, don't get counted
mircea_popescu: jurov except
then
they're not real artists. just buskers.
jurov: they can be beggars,
too
nubbins`: we even had our own chat about it, i drew you a
thing.
mircea_popescu: there is no economically viable path for "artists" outside of mooching off
the sovereign.
nubbins`: i've read
that like
three
times and i'm out of credits
nubbins`: i fear
the grant system discourages artists from putting
their careers on economically viable paths
jurov: i myself was recipient of
taxpayer money for nonsense,
too. so what.
adlai: mircea_popescu: omg
thank you
tho mutth!
jurov: i intended
tat just for laugh, but okay.
nubbins`: but
the
thing is,
they don't give a fuck
that
there's grant money being given away;
they care
that it's being given
to a band called holy fuck
nubbins`: old windbags who'd never bothered
to even listen
to
the band, decrying
the vulgar waste of
taxpayer money
nubbins`: maybe
their issue is with
the grant system
mircea_popescu: total ocd case, she'd actually pluck her hairs by hand, braid
them in
threes
then braid
the results and on it went.
nubbins`: jurov
this is a problem, people get all hissy when someone gets a grant for something
they personally don't like
nubbins`: mike_c
they look cool, no idea beyond
that
mircea_popescu: jurov i used
to know
this chick
that wore a bracelet she made out of her pubic hair.
mike_c: nubbins`: can you vouch at all for kialara? i'm going
to get one.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu cold storage for
the discerning consumer, nothing more.

mircea_popescu: i imagine it makes little sense
to have anymore at all,
tbh.
jurov: wait
till some crazy canadian starts making
them from mice poop and her genital hair
mircea_popescu: because at
the
time idiots honestly
thought
the "internet funbux" angle can be pushed.
nubbins`: it makes no sense
to put a denomination on it, period
mircea_popescu: it had its political importance at
the
time,
these aren;'t really remembered
today, but at some point i had
to go into fucking something awful forums and argue with
the idiots as
to why bitcoin actualy is valuable.
mike_c: yes yes, i am saying it no longer makes sense
to have a 10 btc
that is actually funded
mats_cd03: anyone want
to play a quick chess game (blitz)?
mircea_popescu: it made perfect sense
to have a coin with something more
than nothing's worth of bitcoin in it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c you gotta ppreciate, when
the cas coins were a
thing, 50 btc was like 100 bux
nubbins`: anyway kialara bars would be WAY cooler if
they ditched
the
text altogether
mats_cd03: also used
to be one hundredth
the value it is now, mate
mike_c: these are all novelty items, so i
think cas coins with 10 btc or whatever are dumb.
mike_c: they look pretty sweet and i like
that
they are "designed"
to only have 0.1 btc in
them.
nubbins`: speaking of
teeth, we got a pig skull
the other day
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i want prison-made physical btc.
toothpaste. << Oh, if I go in I'll have an arts and crafts project.
adlai: it's just a bloody expensive paperweight without
them
adlai: "For an extra .25BTC ..." < what's
the point of getting
the damn
thing if you don't get
the extras
mircea_popescu: wait,
the original wankers don't like wanking anymore ?
nubbins`: those kialara guys are
the first ones
to do anything different since casascius
nubbins`: anyway,
the physical crypto space is at a standstill
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck i want a buttcoin.org account.
the stupidity bitcoin brings out from i dunno where...
mircea_popescu: the pretense
to value
through "unique" and "design" and
trhe usual bullcrap is supposedly endless.
