nubbins`: your lawyer was nice. you are not as nice as your lawyer.
dotcoin: but classifieds this me or my company as a scammer
dotcoin: you think i have no experience? as you all guys runs many exchanges here i see
mircea_popescu: dotcoin inasmuch as you're trying to start some sort of exchange with no experience and no web of trust presence...

pankkake: you might have trouble reading his French, as he has terrible spelling
nubbins`: honestly the oddest thing about this whole "everyone is mp" thing is that there's a much, much simpler explanation, and people just refuse to believe. seriously, as if you having a hundred sock accounts, each with a distinct writing style, is a more plausible explanation than you paying someone to post on the forums

AccountantPierre: benkay: I'll get started on making one, I need it a lot as twenty something
AccountantPierre: I'll take that criticism, but we do have to allocate our time as best we can
mircea_popescu: it is an old saw, as benkay points out. that particular link references earlier reports provided by herbi who actually run the pinksheets and found the highest stock increase in the history of stock increases fails to come within one degree of magnitude of bitcoin's.

mircea_popescu: inasmuch as by sex you mean copulation and ejaculation

asciilifeform: With Howard Stern’s girlfriend, the salient features are absolute: her looks and her receptive behavior. If every woman looked similarly good, and behaved as adoringly toward the average working stiff, they would still look good. (A man can test this hypothesis by viewing photographs of thousands of attractive women. Even after massive, pervasive exposure, they still look good. In fact, pornography can be un
jurov: moiety crossbow is fine as long as you don't wear armor with duck-beaked helmet
asciilifeform: 'The in-laws won’t be as much of a problem either because the male in-laws will be preoccupied with sexbots of their own, therefore they will have less time on their hands to spend meddling in the lives of their relatives. At family gatherings, the men will gather around to trade sexbot programs, while the women will gather to complain about the men’s sexbots. Or may women will play with their catbots and
