thought
artifexd: chetty: I very much enjoyed

Thank you.
assbot: Christie Blatchford:
The
Twitter
trial of Gregory Elliott is becoming much like
Twitter itself shrill and uber-sensitive | National Post
ThickAsThieves: "Mr. Elliott responded;
they even met once IRL (in real life), for dinner, where she says now she recognized immediately a “creepy glint” in his eye but nonetheless continued
to have a professional relationship with him for a short
time because she was hoping for
that poster."
chetty: II 5. France

benkay: later i learned
to counter with "good hustle, next sucker"
benkay: i always got out of it by smiling wryly, wiggling my eyebrows and complimenting
them on
their hustle
benkay: let
the man have your hand for a handshake, you've "lost"
benkay: my favorite in NYC was
the obviously-too-old-to-be-in-hs-member-of-the-basketball-team "raising money for
the
team
trip
to...uh...DC" by selling large candy bars for 20 bucks
benkay: // ahaha
the good ol' street hustle
benkay: the
thing about it is
that most of
them don't want
to start a conflict,
they just look for weak people
benkay: we have a kind of people
that we call 'niggers'.
they aren't black.
their uniform is sports clothes and a baseball cap.
they introduce
themselves by asking "hey friend, got
the
time?" (seriously, it's almost always like
that). if you stop
to answer and
take your phone out, you've lost. most of
the
time, you can just say a single "no", or ignore
them, and continue walking.
this has worked really well for me lately.
benkay: Ran 67
tests containing 157 assertions.
benkay: shooting for
the end of next week
then?
DreadKnight: benkay, need
to spend a few more days learning about socks / dividends / shares / listing so I can
talk
the
talk properly and write some documentation as well (which is long
time due)
benkay: what's your
timeframe on
this listing, DreadKnight ?
DreadKnight: I'm more into getting a listing
though and learning
the related stuff
DreadKnight: recall it from chat log, still not very familiar with
the system
benkay: i've made
the odd
trade yeah
benkay: you don't borrow 50 grand from some rando online. you go
to an actual bank.
benkay: yeah,
these are generally considered "capital barriers", and improve market quality markedly.
DreadKnight: plus MPEx has some fees
to get into :) which not everybody has around
to begin with
DreadKnight: benkay, when I said online platforms I meant websites with lots of users
that interact with
the website; MPEx is not like facebook / fiverr / bitcointalk forum
DreadKnight: benkay,
they say "NO ADS" in
topic, noticed
too late; can easily be considered an ad
benkay: do you really not understand why
that link with a referral bit would get you banned in #bitcoin?
benkay: "every" "exception" // get your shit
together
DreadKnight: (I bought
the hdd from a 3rd party
through
the website, from
the website owners)
DreadKnight: I bought a hdd from an online store, a romanian ebay clone once and I got scammed as it was old and had bad sectors, was it
the website's fault? my fault more likely, but
there was a reputation system so I should had been more careful, also
the used got banned quickly
DreadKnight: there are risks in lending, it's a gamble; just like stocks, so
that's
the whole point
DreadKnight: benkay, was expecting you would say
that; MPEx is exception
benkay: this bit lending
thing actively goes out of its way
to promote itself as a safe place
to do lending. it goes above and beyond
the call of duty
to enable scammers.
benkay: <DreadKnight> benkay,
there are scammers and scams on every single platform // show me a single scam on MPEx.
DreadKnight: I got woken by
turkish music and manele yesterday,
those make liturgical music sound like masterpieces in comparison
punkman: I used
to hate it but I guess
there's worse
thing
to be woken up by
DreadKnight: Namworld,
things would be better, more devs and patches, more
testing; on windows you can't really patch, just complain
Namworld: If everyone was using Linux, bugs would show up regularly. Although perhaps
they'd be fixed more quickly, Linux being open source.
DreadKnight: good and evil are
two sides of
the same coin, you can't have just one
DreadKnight: benkay,
there are scammers and scams on every single platform
DreadKnight: Namworld, people constantly complaining about viruses but not switching,
that is
the problem
Namworld: What's wrong with windows? I hardly ever get any issue whatsoever. If it gave me any problem, I'd switch. Runs all I need, plus runs games easily. Not like anything critical is going on on
that machine.
DreadKnight: because it's about
the people using
the website
DreadKnight: btcjam basically has
the same amount of credibility as any crowd funding website in existence
DreadKnight: benkay,
the website itself doesn't seem
to be a scam, but yeah,
there are scammers on it for sure
Namworld: That, and it's always nice
to know what people
think. I rarely use any negative language
toward anyone, but
that's just me. But I'd be
the last one
to say people shouldn't say
this or
that
to anyone.
benkay: DreadKnight: well, you're doing a referral
thing
Namworld: [18:23] <+mircea_popescu> people should be
targeted in a dismissive manner. builds character.
cazalla: interesting
that by banning yoy, you won't learn why it's not an interesting website

DreadKnight: alt
tabbed back
to website and it proceeded, so dunno wtf
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: yeah, mine is collecting dust
too
DreadKnight: got ps3 and I don't even
touch it for a long
time now
DreadKnight: using linux for about 10 years yet I suffered a lot from being addicted
to gaming
DreadKnight: bringing games as an argument is like you're deliberately
trying
to play
the same few games
that just aren't made with other operating systems in mind
benkay: i'm going
to make a stab-you-through-the-internet for everything
DreadKnight: he should, windows sux and all
that it's good about it is related
to Bill Gates stealing and getting ahead
kuzetsa: I
think I need
to go encrypt a sandwich, brb
benkay: you don't build a fucking house out of paper in
the first place
benkay: you don't wait for your house
to catch fire
to admit
that you built it out of paper and paper burns
DreadKnight: how
to I list gpg key id's btw? using shell/terminal
benkay: it's futile, i
tell ya.
DreadKnight: thestringpuller,
tell
that
to
the average joe
benkay: quit
trollin,
thestringpuller
DreadKnight: benkay, oh, I sure hope so and it sounds pretty likely
to happen
kuzetsa: thestringpuller: also, Steam OS is probably not going
to support anonymous, random hardware as well as windows
DreadKnight: it's like buying games for nintendo console and wanting
to play
them on your ps3.
thestringpuller: DreadKnight: it's damn near impossible
to run some games on Linux
that were for windows.
kuzetsa: thestringpuller: driver support
too, not just
the directx API / abstraction layer
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, lmao; plenty of linux games, plus linux can also run windows games;
that reputation is
total FUD, it's based on people believing
that and keeping at it
thestringpuller: "Bill Gates pushed for DirectX in
the 90's now everyone writes for windows when on PC
thus windows is better" argument
kuzetsa: other
than
that it's a very small (and constantly shrinking) list of apps which are native windows ones and happen
to be part of some workflow or other
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: I am, windows has a good reputation for being more solid for gaming
than linux or mac
DreadKnight: I'm not sure what bitcoin has
to do with
the OS
kuzetsa: I use 3 or more OS per day most days, and rarely less
than 2 (and one of
them is always my linux box sitting at
the local datacenter)
kuzetsa: benkay: hmm? what is bitcoin going
to fix?
benkay: bitcoin's going
to fix
that for
them
DreadKnight: gave up on windows a long
time ago because of
that kind of crap
kuzetsa: I often am guilty of
that when I
talk smack about ubuntu or
the userbase
DreadKnight: it's ok
to be a nerd, I'm one
too,
that
tries
to avoid compiling
though
DreadKnight: building from source and gentoo are for nerds; funny
to hear
that stuff since you're using windoze atm
DreadKnight: it's not mandatory
to use unity DE, you have plenty of options
that work better for lower end devices
