nubbins`: i might as well paste a link to havelock saying it's the stuff you don't want us to know about ;D

mircea_popescu: "I'm a woman who's been at my job for 14 years now, and slowly made my way up to third-in-command. Our firm was bought out by an elderly gentleman who gave it to his 28-year-old daughter as a birthday present. So now everyone's jobs depend on the whims of this girl who has no idea how our business is run. She is very tempermental and has already fired a dozen employees that have been with us for 5 years or more, becaus
dmmill_: i want to get on board and try to support it so it's easier to use as an alternative
nubbins`: it was unseasonably hot in the arctic circle as well
mircea_popescu: i guess it's possible global warming manifests as cooling because other places warm EVEN MORE
asciilifeform: chetty: not sure if anyone is really 'fired for post.' rather, they need an excuse to sack somebody, and this one's as good as any.
asciilifeform: as in - what is the purpose. (surely there is no want of tit pic.) so, presumably, it is to give female beggars some coin to experiment with ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for so long as winblows is a thing, no malefactor will ever lack for fresh ip.
pankkake: oh, coke as in coca coal
chetty: a lot of girls seem to have that problem, the issue as far as I know is ensuring people don't double dip with photoshops
kyuupichan: as a result." Yeah I bet "consumers" were hanging on EBA's every word.
ThickAsThieves: as ‘obliged entities’ that must comply with anti-money laundering and counter terrorist
Dekker3D: The code I just entered.. Kleopatra lists it as my "fingerprint" but it wasn't accepted. Can it be used to impersonate me?
fulloffantasies: Sorry. I mean, you were pretty cool about me not showing mine so I guess if it's that big of a deal to other girls as well you'll work it out.
mircea_popescu: as a purely academic point, wouldn't http://i.imgur.com/6viKheJ.jpg be enough to identify someone ? at least to anyone that knows them any.
mircea_popescu: considering what people normaly do for a 2 dollar freebie... i'd have thought it'd spread as fire
pankkake: as usual
mircea_popescu: i dun think this counts as a media group, fluffypony
mircea_popescu: "If you'd like to advertise on one of our sites you can check out our advertising info." which they helpfuly omit to include, either as a link or anywhere on the page.
pankkake: Men are also allowed to receive extra credit, as long as they shave their bodies from the neck down.
fluffypony: yet each view each other as competition and think they stand on the moral high ground
BingoBoingo: I'm sleep. Everyone who keeps trying to unkill my beautiful death with their life bombs can eat it, as they continue to hurt their cause.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=close | to knock boots with a member of the oposite sex, as in close the deal.
mircea_popescu: davout "you can close just as well on a misunderstanding "
mircea_popescu: "The Church of Scientology, an outgrowth of L. Ron Hubbard's dianetics cult of the Fifties, became one of the most controversial of American religious cults. When, in 1977, Federal agents raided the cult's offices because, among other things, the cult had infiltrated Federal agencies and stolen Government documents related to investigations of the cult, public reaction was amusement as much as anything else."
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> being as the local stuffed uniforms are the first to 'go free agent' in any imperial collapse, this is sorta basic. << quite
BingoBoingo: I assume they can use pretty much Windows or android machine as the equivalent of a tor node anyways
asciilifeform: being as the local stuffed uniforms are the first to 'go free agent' in any imperial collapse, this is sorta basic.
asciilifeform: just as they don't get aircraft carriers
BingoBoingo: Oh, the things I xerox'd as an undergrad.
asciilifeform: incidentally, (as school project!) i once went to the u.s. national library of medicine and had them dig up for me ancient, yellow copies of lysenko's complete works. and read them.
asciilifeform: but of btc-themed derpitude as a field, no ?
asciilifeform: much as karpeles didn't personally handle every btc derpatron
cazalla: as retards became an even smaller minority, this shit started popping up as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T549VoLca_Q
asciilifeform: specifically the fellow as portrayed in the film '300 spartans'
asciilifeform: i like to refer to these folks as 'elphialtes's army'

asciilifeform: as a kind of decorative slipcover for policy that 'must happen anyway', it works just the same.
mircea_popescu: right. so feminism is about as powerful as astrology.
mircea_popescu: "Feminists like to use the presence of anger and sadness as a sign that the manosphere is a sad, terrible place." << lol yeah, because that's the feminist way : project patriarchy ideas opressing you outward. men should hate themselves for being angry just like we do!!11
mircea_popescu: i wonder if mozart being accused of being so pop-sounding by some goffy teenager in 1781 was nearly as amused

mircea_popescu: Try as we may, convincing a woman that her sexual peak lay actually between 18 and 25 is always an effort in debating denial. For all the self-convincing attempts to redefine sexual valuation to the contrary, SMV for women is ultimately decided by Men.

asciilifeform: phun phact: 'sexual market value' afaik, as a phrase, was first coughed up by dan mocsny.
mircea_popescu: "I’ve had sex with over 40 women in my past, during a time when there was no such thing as formalized Game."
BingoBoingo: Maybe mike_c can use this thing as an intern gauntlet
BingoBoingo: -"We're not obsessed with notch-count, we don't define our worth as men in terms of “success” or “approval” by women. Plenty of great men with actual value (AV) don't necessarily have sexual market value (SMV) and don't care. Being a better man happens in “Living the Best Life”."- << Sounds like a job for BtcAlpha
mircea_popescu: Game: This one sets us apart. Our view is that being MGTOW means downing the 'red pill' and understanding the nature of women. Once you do so, the rest is up to you. It's a perfectly valid option to sit it out, to “ghost” when it comes to women. And it's just as valid to "scratch that itch" with escorts, either at home or abroad. But for guys who, knowing what they know, want to use game to set up plates, date, est
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=incel | "Involuntary Celibate". A frustrated virgin who feels as if the world owes them sex. A self-described 'incel' is highly likely to blame their virginity on the other ...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand, it's a peculiarly sad 'chinese copy' of the usual 'victimhood olympics.'
asciilifeform: Pravda," as in "Pravda it.") The fine system has also fostered a robust culture of snitching. "In a totalitarian regime, mechanisms of suppression trigger mechanisms of betrayal," the director explains. "I am very interested in that."'
asciilifeform: 'Director Ilya Khrzhanovsky on set. He is known to interview potential female cast members with questions like “Can you come up to a guy in a club and sleep with him without finding out as much as his name?”, or “Are any of your friends whores?”'
benkay: who knows if their fancy variants are as well, or if they've solved the 'breathing' problem.
mircea_popescu: Bloodhound had everything going for it. TechCrunch once hailed the tradeshow app as "genius" and Peter Thiel lead a $3 million investment round in the "blowing up" company.
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin is not the unit of account, as you are not held accountable for that unit by anyone."
mircea_popescu: slow as fuck i guess
artifexd: As her creator, I refer to her as such. And thus, yes.
davout: as a sidenote, the whole "service is shitty, but it's fast!" has been a thing in france for the last 20 years
mircea_popescu: hanbot was like "o why are you so mean ?! wait, this is davout ? nm, be as mean as you wish!"
mircea_popescu: i think i even said as much in the logs, months ago
davout: as in, a price has been paid
mircea_popescu: but if they don't agree if it's salty or sweet, the bet as to which is is ain't getting cancelled.
mircea_popescu: that as long as there's a dispute, a bet doesn't get cancelled.
davout: "no case will ever be successfully made for cancellation as long as a legitimate dispute exists."
mircea_popescu: no case will ever be successfully made for cancellation as long as a legitimate dispute exists.
mircea_popescu: he briefly masqueraded as requesting support originally i guess.
mircea_popescu: so "the community" of bagholders posing as bitcoin people is getting vocal ?
mircea_popescu: "We American women think of the swarthy type as a dark-skinned (not black), exotic, intense type of man."
mircea_popescu: might as well forbid them "for privacy"
ThickAsThieves: plenty holes as is!
asciilifeform: Dalrymple: so long as you don't expect the exchange rate to increase monotonically - sure, buy.
asciilifeform: ctified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. For example, the Ministry of Plenty's forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at 145 million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been
asciilifeform: 'But actually, he thought as he re-adjusted the Ministry of Plenty's figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connexion with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connexion that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their re
benkay: ugh open markets are about as stochastically bouncy a thing as i want my money anywhere near
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i was using btc as a unit of account stylistically, to underline the lulz that is fiat.
mircea_popescu: so bonds being worth less really means the market's going to shit for the issuer. such as you know, default looming or w/e
pankkake: as Gronibard would say, Il est pas carré, il est pas rond, il est ovale mon trou de balle
mircea_popescu: but as it becomes popular, it also becomes dangerous.
mircea_popescu: it'll prolly work fine for as long as a very small fraction of trades are done this way.
ThickAsThieves: Georgia’s new gun rules kicked in Tuesday, allowing residents to carry firearms into bars, nightclubs, classrooms and government buildings in a measure slammed by anti-weapon activists as a “dangerous kill bill.”
asciilifeform: people still saw it as 'the thing to do'
asciilifeform: stalin died, condoms appeared, marriage as SOP didn't really start to sink till the '90s (ussr)
benkay: ;;later tell hanbot by choosing bets that, as best can be determined, will be open for around a month at the least. // learned that one myself heh
mircea_popescu: just like bacterium do it. which, i've been thinking, is actually a very interesting situation. with the mechanics of bitcoin serving as a fundamental thermodynamics implementation, and the wot serving as a singalling space, ☟︎
mircea_popescu: kinda how i do it, if there';s people right on the brink of your wot as it were.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah. this because 50 years ago it was actually worth your while as a shop keeper to make them happy, because they were diligent hard working sorts of people.
BingoBoingo: moiety: Yeah I saw the Bill gates thing. Maybe soon I'll be able to do the feigning as you requested, but... drunk
BingoBoingo: Well, as long as they have a spot to land on
