mircea_popescu: lmao how do you make it in here without wanting
to bash people's heads in ?
xanthyos: i'm one of
the entitled socialist dregs
that bitcoin is going
to weed out
xanthyos: the ocd and borderline personality disorder are
the
truly disabling
things
thestringpuller: xanthyos: one of my closest friends has schizoaffective disorder.
there was a point when he was having
tons of episodes everyday
that he couldn't really leave
the house. But he's doing better now because better
treatment is out. Just stick with it mang.
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd rather go
to some full contact sport
thing
than a shrink if
the problem is violence.
thickasthieves: get someone
to help you with motivating and
taking care of yourself
to do what you need
to do
mircea_popescu: it's not "impulse control", once she hands you your ass
twice a week for a month
bounce: plenty help with all sorts of
things. good of you
to know where (some of) your weaknesses are. doing something about it is
the next step.
xanthyos: have one, but missed my most recent appointment due
to anxiety
bounce: get a gf
that could hit you right back, and will if you mope
xanthyos: ti's not a sadomasochistic
thing
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No, he was
too stupid and
the stingray
too wily
xanthyos: because i'm
too afraid if i got a girlfriend i'd just end up BEATING her like
the last one
mircea_popescu: how about steve irvin, BingoBoingo ?
that dude was
too crazy
to live.
BingoBoingo: <xanthyos> i'm
too crazy
to live << No such
thing.
mircea_popescu: and
that without even considering
the part where you were born before he got it.
kakobrekla: x<xanthyos> maybe danielpbarron is right when he says i'm brain damaged and i can't
trust my own judgment < its good you figured
this before buying a bottle of vodka and walking into
the woods. just listen
to us.
BingoBoingo: vodka and
the woods sounds like a fun way
to get a hangover.
mircea_popescu: i never heard of any man's post pancreatic lung cancer giving
their offspring braindamage
xanthyos: i might buy a bottle of vodka and walk into
the woods
xanthyos: maybe danielpbarron is right when he says i'm brain damaged and i can't
trust my own judgment
xanthyos: so i
think
that deserves a negative assbot rating
xanthyos: and i have been stuck in
the chapel perilous in some schizoaffective bullshit for 8 days unable
to leave
the house or bed
mircea_popescu: trust is a feeling! investing is a +ev activity for
the amateur, just like people make a profit growing
tomatoes on
their windowsil. sticks and stones could break your bones but words is what really matters. etc.
assbot: Logged on 08-10-2014 22:01:06; Quinn_: Yeah i

to working with
trustworthy people like
Tapeke and blockchain! Seeya!

the way of
their finding a loaf of bread

this woman around looking for work who was a writer, but i
think she disappeared.

assbot: Btc Alpha - Analysis
tools for bitcoin finance.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: I dunno. It's all about
the burn rate.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i don't
think he was proceeding very calculatedly
tbh.
mike_c: his
time must be worth more given he just
turned down a weekly video job.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the sad part here is
that 15k youtube views
took $300 * 3 * 4.2 = 3800 dollars' worth of
this guy's
time.
thestringpuller: Yeah i
think i'll stick
to working with
trustworthy people like
Tapeke and blockchain! << blockchain is
trustworthy nao?
mircea_popescu: Tapeke is
the first personal finance application specifically designed for Bitcoin. We help Bitcoiners
to keep
track of
their Bitcoin expenses and incomes and ..." << you couldn't possibly mean
that ?!
Quinn_: Yeah i
think i'll stick
to working with
trustworthy people like
Tapeke and blockchain! Seeya!
☟︎ hanbot: mircea_popescu: how's slotful lust ? asciilifeform: you of all people should know << ahahaha,
this convo....
mircea_popescu: i was a producer for a bunch shots, but
that was back in
the 90s.
mircea_popescu: this is an interesting point
tho. i guess for
the vast majority of
the public, bitcoin is
this "cool
tech", nobody stops
to
think bitcoin is actually a bunch of saudi princes.
Quinn_: Not
to seem rude, but
there;s hundreds or people who claim
to be bitcoin millionaires on reddit and such.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin created what, 50bn worth of value out of
the ether. didja
think it all went into
the usg budget or something ?
BingoBoingo: He's at least a plural hundreds of Millionaire
though, provably.
BingoBoingo: Quinn_: At
the
time he was provably a Billionaire. Now He's mysteriously maybe so. Bitcoin be volatile.
assbot: Romanian Bitcoin baron 'stumps up $20k
to keep OpenBSD's lights on'
The Register
Quinn_: other
than one article citing you as a romanian billionaire which doesn't exactly sound in any way legit.
Quinn_: I did it in my spare
time between commissions, since it wasn't a source of income so around 3 months
mircea_popescu: hm, irc chats are actually
the pinnacle of
trustworthy, you just don't know about how it all works yet.
Quinn_: The amount of work and
time dedicated all depends on price. e.g a $300 video
that's 30 seconds long will
take a week.
mircea_popescu: Quinn_ how long does it
take you
to make one of
these ? could you in principle bang out one a week if scripts were availabe ?
Quinn_: I don't arrange commissioned work
through irc chats, not very
trustworthy.
mircea_popescu: you can contact me
through here and we can discuss it further.
Quinn_: Contact me
through my site and we can discuss
this further! :)
bounce: that's not-invented-here.gov, dunno about
their political or historic revisionism inclinations
mircea_popescu: i mean sure, it all fits neatly, "prior
to
the soviet state and everywhere outside of it kids had it rough and didn't even get any icecream"
mircea_popescu: Quinn_ no, not yet. but if you're amenable
to work on one i
think we can probably come up with something.
bounce: ``The Mexican natives in
the encomienda system were
treated as virtual slaves, were poorly fed and clothed, and were greatly overworked as farm and mine laborers.
This harsh
treatment appears
to have left
them particularly vulnerable
to epidemic disease.'' -- worked
to death, illness finished it
mircea_popescu: but i'm preselected, i already seen
the cartoon you made, so we're going with
that
type.
Quinn_: well I don't know what
type of cartoons you want, so i can't
tell you if i can agree
to it or not.
ben_vulpes: though
the causal relationship is a little murky
to me
Quinn_: Depends on
the content, i have a site which is better
to contact me
through. www.zenithquinn.com/#!commissions/c171x
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: prior, iirc.
the context of
the remark was
that
the sultan (subject of
the chapter) began
to address
the plagues
that had routinely decimated
the capital with european medical
techniques.
this was, iirc, one of
the last
three
to rule before
the sultanate was brought
to an end by
the young
turks et al.
Quinn_: I created
the bitcoin users in a nutshell cartoon.
BingoBoingo: Hanta is apparently a creature of
the desert.
Quinn_: mircea, i was
told you wanted
to
talk
to me?
chetty: BingoBoingo,
thats a point, with all
the drought
that should have broken out, haven't seen anything about it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Hanta, still endemic
to
the America southwest. Goes
through dormant, emergent cycles
chetty: <asciilifeform> chetty:
they want
to eat.// helps
to be alive
to do
that
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Most cattle here lack
the cardiovascular endurance
to really... Stampede... McDonalds et al
chetty: on
the not shutting down flights, whats wrong with
those pilots and aircrews,
they can and should shut it down
chetty: I don't
think
they even need actual disease now,
the fear may be enough
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The scariest zombies are always
the kind
that die. I've never much feared undeath.
