mats_cd03: ...or maybe its just a reaction
to BTCUSD
mats_cd03: i wonder if its
the 5% private investor unloading shares
thats causing
this action
mats_cd03: the #1
thing keeping me on android is now
the functionality i get with
the moto x
ben_vulpes: more likely i'll have moved off of "smart" phones at
that point.
ben_vulpes: Vexual: when
the "android" "platform" isn't a
total shitshow, maybe
then.
ben_vulpes: well a day later and a new emacs/irc
toolchain in place
ben_vulpes: now
to
test new bouncer under laptop close and reopen scenario
Vexual: whats
the story regarding
the hostile ddos bot assbot mentions?
mircea_popescu: a) none of
those pages contains
the string and b) as far as i can determine,
the only site on
the internet containing it is
the qntra article.
mircea_popescu: fuck em, who cares.
they can starve chanting whatever
they please
to chant.
decimation: When I read something like
that I
think of
that little rat Marat
mircea_popescu: this can keep on for as long as how did it go "evil people refuse
to pay
their fair share".
mircea_popescu: the only spawn of democracy, really.
they fit with
the electoral cycle really well.
today, derp goes "i shall make money out of cockroaches, just have
to have a pile large enough".
they spend a year piling up cockroaches. no money appears, but just in
time for...
BingoBoingo: I
think
the Ken SLaughter nonsense crowd moved on
to GAW apologias, almost
to a person
mircea_popescu: and on it will go, for as long as
there's something standing
the zombies will
try
to crowd it out while pretending it ain't standing.
mircea_popescu: then
there was a period of ken slaugther powered nonsense, where
the losers made
threads about how mpex is
teh scientology.
BingoBoingo: Nah, 2 seems more popular amongst people who never had anything except
through scams of
their own
Vexual: surely
the scamming wont continue forever, due
to satoshi being a wizard
mircea_popescu: decimation just look at all
the glbse fanbois who
TO
THIS DAY prefer
to derp instead of admitting
that mpoe-pr was right and
they were stupid.
Vexual: so 10 and
twenties have more
to worry about?
BingoBoingo: decimation: Number 1
tends
to be incredibly popular amongst people who have other
things
mircea_popescu: <decimation> mircea_popescu: "all
through 2015 we will be seeing a shitton of 50-somethings with so-so credentrials going all weirdo on bitcoin." << no
they just realize
that bitcoin == no free money for 'retirement' <<
the problem
there is
that
they actually DID work, and should have some money. problem is, in
typical
tardstalk fashion,
they got scammed and having nothing left, are now siding with
the scammer.
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah
that sums it up nicely
decimation: mircea_popescu:
the reaction
to bitcoin (by non-bitcoin holders) seems
to fall into
two camps: 1 - bitcoin sucks because I don't have any or 2. bitcoin sucks so I need
to steal some
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking,
the progre's relation
to bitcoin is fat ugly chick in your class
that keeps calling you up and passing you notes in class, dozens of
times a day.
the content is all about how "women like
to be
treated" and "what makes a good man", but...
mircea_popescu: what else did you
think
the something awful interest in bitcoin is and has been powered by, all
these years.
assbot: Valiant prince MP explores
the mother of all echo chambers. A saga of our
times. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1rwhP5d )
Vexual: assbot
talks
to me now
decimation: they appear
to have a similar attitude
toward civilized behavior
decimation: mircea_popescu: maybe
this ken guy knows mr. flood
mircea_popescu: ahem. how come all poor research is always defended in
the same manner,
mircea_popescu: Ken Hess @kenhess · 7h7 hours ago @brucefenton I don't bother researching rancid
Twitterati. And I don't care what you believe
that you are. Again, do you own any Bitcoin?
assbot: Logged on 25-11-2014 04:00:03; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if
the rats set fire
to
the lab, what'd you expect
they'd burn ?
the cages or
the files ?
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well you have
to consider North St Louis COunty ghettos aren't
THAT compartamentalized. Most people looting weren't hitting where
they eat
decimation: in general, franchise businesses avoid setting up shop in us ghettos for exactly
this reason
decimation: one wonders why more folks in Ferguson don't have a similar attitude - if for no other reason
than
the "don't shit where you eat" principle
BingoBoingo: decimation: I
thought
that story was a gun store, not a gas station
decimation: BingoBoingo: I like
the story about
the black folk who protect
the white-owned gas station
decimation: mircea_popescu: "all
through 2015 we will be seeing a shitton of 50-somethings with so-so credentrials going all weirdo on bitcoin." << no
they just realize
that bitcoin == no free money for 'retirement'
☟︎ BingoBoingo: decimation: Either
that or
the lazy bit...
decimation: BingoBoingo: yeah
the way I read
the letter it's pretty clear
that
the writer flipped
the 'crazy bit'
decimation: One might protest: but
they pay
taxes
too! Except -
the eitc rebates much of
the
tax.
decimation: note
that
these 'payments' are mostly not direct
transfers (checks from
the
treasury).
They are mostly
things like implicit guarantee
to banks
that usg will 'force solvency', health 'insurance' (free health care), and 'free' roads.
decimation: ;;later
tell ben_vulpes re: explain "usg has generally used
the power of printed dollars
to make it such
that most people don't pay
taxes" << Well, I was
thinking of
the very straightforward sense in which
the majority of humans on us
territory receive more dollars from usg
than give
to usg.
BingoBoingo: decimation: My favorite part is where nothing
the Senator says supports
the Author's claim in
the way he
thinks
decimation: "fair share"..."progress"...
these are religious sentiments
decimation: from
the article. Progress will not be impeded by
the haters."
decimation: lol from
the comments: "You obviously hate poor people,
the elderly, children, minorities -
the list likely goes on and on. Inflation has been at record low levels for many years now, so your scare
tactics go nowhere. Bitcoins only allow
the greedy rich
to evade paying
their FAIR SHARE in
taxes and
the like, and
their evil
transactions are hidden from
those who are
tasked with protecting
the common folk, like
the honorable senator
decimation: that zdnet "ken hess" story is amusing. In
their hind-brain,
the "guardings of
the revolution" who are
the shock-troops of
the left recognize
the clear danger bitcoin poses
to
their entire world
adlai: this is like me asking mircea_popescu whether
the reason
that he
talks so much about bitcoin is
that he actually owns some himself
adlai: BingoBoingo: look at
the specific
tweet linked
BingoBoingo: Oh,
there's a bitbet proposition in
the que
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03
there is, you identify
the links and bitch at people.
undata: xanthyos: surely
there's a hashtag out
there waiting for you
xanthyos: at least
to
the entertainment of other regulars
xanthyos: i genuinely
thought i was contributing
to an extent
mats_cd03: would be nice
to have a mechanism
to remove voice
through an L2 vote
mircea_popescu: xanthyos i
think
teh plebs be getting restless, undata's like
the
third hinting
to you.
xanthyos: and it's leading
to other old wouunds
that need
to come
to
the surface
xanthyos: it's a personal experience
that i can share
undata: you still
taking about your dick xanthyos?
xanthyos: i felt it was
time
to just make it public
to get over it
xanthyos: i'm not drunk,
though i am on both a mild opiate and an ssri
xanthyos: everything's cvoming
to
the surface with my new
take on life post penile surgery
therealbv: would someone confirm
that ben_vulpes' cloak is applied correctly?
cazalla: xanthyos,
this isn't
traumatic at all unless perhaps a life spent wrapped in cotton wool
cazalla: xanthyos, i dunno about you but if i hear a knock at
the door, i cbf even going
to see who it is let alone stand
there an argue for 15m
xanthyos: they were free
to leave at any point cazalla
hanbot: lol
turns out
the evidence was bogus?
cazalla: xanthyos, for cop
to listen
to your shit for 15m,
that's a lot of patience
xanthyos: amazing how you can assess
the statists immediately when you are keenly focused on
the specific way
their propaganda softens
them
