_dushenski> basically confirming that, without alberta's oilconomy, canada is going to hell in a handbasket. << that's ok, because getting together some rental chairs and phoning a caterer makes one practically in investment banking, which is international, so...

_vulpes> "oh it's just alf lol doing in an afternoon what the usg dreamt of doing all throughout the ninedies" << yes, but then again the usg can't get two thinking people to rub together if its continuation depended on it.

_dushenski> seriously, what leader of the free world ? he isn't the leader of his own backyard. <<< generally that's how this "civilisation" business works. you may have the fetish of power if and only if you abandon all power. serve the system as it were.

BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: You don't understand. For these people a profile visit IS a big deal. It's the closest they'll get to interacting with another person evar.
BingoBoingo: <ben
_vulpes> but not the bitcoin blockchain that's sacred or something so i have a new one << The reason for this is they are 6 years behind. By the time they get to alt v altcoins will have done their damage

_popescu: the less said, the less possibility of misunderstanding, which is why the main quality of a contract is being brief. the fewer venues communication may occur in, the fewer indecidable problems you'll meet. this rly is not rocket science.

_popescu: re: quests << I think the quests you were thinking of in regards to Eulora logs are grind quests which contribute nothing to the gameplay but dungeon crawling/grinding. Get X something by killing Y something. But complex quests that add story are kinda key to singleplayer games. Be it robbing banks in GTA and listening to characters talk in the car; finding your son in Fallout 4; or finding your family in Red De
ascii_rear: ok so it turns out that mircea
_popescu is simply insisting on 'p' !!
assbot: Logged on 02-01-2016 14:08:41; mircea
_popescu: this also illustrates the much larger point of the fukctardation of out-of-band communication. it's stupid and dangerous. there should be absolutely no "alternative mechanism" for a key being in any way processed outside of the key itself. timestamp ? fuck that.

_dushenski: "A friend’s place in a small gated courtyard, walking distance to pretty much everything, two bedrooms, 750 square feet, Internet and electricity included, $280 a month." << it's ~exactly~ deals like this that make me scratch my head and wonder who the fuck pays $500-600 to post a professional job listing on 'monster.com' and 'workopolis.com'

_vulpes the one thing that boggles my mind the most in all this is that none of them seem to realise that yes there's something fucking wrong with not owning a cocktail dress and spending all your time on netflix.

_dushenski: but should jimmy also have to pay for the ~actual~ cost of his grade school education just because he didn't get the vaccine ? only if his parents also opted out of taxes, i say, which since this isn't the future, i don't see that also happening (yet)

_popescu: fundamentally, fiat banking requires the world economy to work as a closed system. once bitcoin's on the table... forget it.

_dushenski> re: vaccinations as a barrier to entry for government subsidies for children, it seems to me that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children should be on the hook for any adverse eventualities of that decision <<< this stance is nonsensical in that the more notable adverse eventualities are also externalities.
