Dekker3D: It lacks curly braces and instead uses indentation.
That's
the main
thing I hate.
Dekker3D: I've been doing a
tiny bit of Python lately,
though I absolutely loathe everything about it.
chetty: sooo back
to
the question, do you code? what language and all
that Dekker3D
mircea_popescu: basically,
the boxen
that are people... not many know what's inside, and especially not
the people in question.
chetty: you are here, you are in
the wot, pretty good start ;)
assbot: Ce este adolescenta ? pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
Dekker3D: I'm
trying
to be more confident about stuff.
Dekker3D: Well yeah. I have. I know I have skills and can get stuff done, but so many
things around me have fallen apart
that I can't help but blame myself at some level.
chetty: ok its just a idiomatic saying, basically I was saying
that you had been
tricked into believing you were useless
mircea_popescu: let's
try it with women. it always works easier with women.
Dekker3D: I am
trying
to get
that information out of one of you
Dekker3D: I honestly have no idea what
the "bill of goods" means in
this context
Dekker3D: Heh. Okay. I still can't quite
tell whether you're saying "aw, poor kid, he got handed a bad hand" or "damn kid, go make yourself useful". Knowing your
type a
tiny bit, I'm guessing
the latter.
mircea_popescu: yes. but also metaphorically, "the content of
this box"
Dekker3D: A list of stuff
to sell, buy or
transport, afaik?
Dekker3D: I don't know if
that's a good or a bad
thing?
Dekker3D: But one
team member started becoming more of a burden
than a boon, and he was an old friend so I found it hard
to cut him loose. We also lacked programmers, as I was spending
too much
time just managing stuff.
Dekker3D: Anyway, I was
the only one who made a remake project
that got further
than "gathering ideas and musing idly"
mircea_popescu: i'm part owner in s.mg which is a game maker which is why i know more
than
the average chap about indie games.
Dekker3D: Well,
there was an MMORPG
that I liked. Extremely casual, simple looking and
the game itself was pretty stupid, but
the community was pretty awesome.
Dekker3D: Anyway, he got
the impression
that I'm pretty damn good at what I do
Dekker3D: Eh. Bruno something, went by "BMG" on
the forum I was messing around on.
[]bot: Bet placed: 1 BTC for Yes on "Bitcoin volatility

http://bitbet.us/bet/982/ Odds: 73(Y):27(N) by coin, 70(Y):30(N) by weight.
Total bet: 1.62691947 BTC. Current weight: 81,457.
Dekker3D: Harsh but with clearly defined ideas based on some actual
thought, and also rich (or at least claiming
to be).
mircea_popescu: there's
this "look what you can learn about yourself on
the internet"
thing
that happens
to people. albeit rarely
this clearly isolated as we have it here.
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> artifexd: We auction off your data." << you can't put it in a
truck. <<< But you can put it in a packet :)
Dekker3D: I was simply diagnosed with a number of different nasty
things between ages 8-15 or so, and I've been spending a lot of
time (and yeah, government money along with some of my parents')
to become a LOT more functional
than I was before.
mircea_popescu: ll out a knife, place it calmly on
the
table, and say, "listen lung
transplant, I'm not on SSI, I'm on SSDI. I worked.""
mircea_popescu: "The Post is making a bet
that you won't know
the difference between SSDI and SSI, and you wouldn't, no one does, it's deliberately obfuscated and frequently conflated.
They are
totally different in
terms of origin, budget and consequence, but both rely on "disability."
The only person who does know
the difference is a guy actually on SSDI, so
that when you ask him, "how long have you been on SSI?" he will freeze, pu
Dekker3D: mircea_popescu, I've read almost all of it by now.
The main distinction here is
that SSI is assumed
to be poor people who receive money because otherwise
they'd riot, and SSDI is assumed
to be people who have worked and who simply can't anymore.

cazalla: Dekker3D: you'll pick up
the lingo as you go along, worthwhile sticking it out
Dekker3D: mircea_popescu, I'm not sure I get what you're saying. "watermelon
through your
thighs" implies something about childbirth?
mircea_popescu: humanity exists because nobody gave a shit about
this impression, historically.
punkman: Dekker3D, I'm not judging was just wondering if
that was a
thing in .nl
mircea_popescu: the problem with
this perspective is
that on
the strength of such apparence, you'd
think squeezing a watermelon
through your
thighs will kill you
Dekker3D: So forgive me if I see
the handicap allowance
thing as something good.
Dekker3D: Anyway, I used
to suffer from pretty bad depression, so if I had been forced
to work when I got out of school I'd have probably ended up dead by now
assbot: The Last Psychiatrist:
The
Terrible, Awful
Truth About SSDI
Dekker3D: It's a short and useless read,
telling me
the doc's not found.
Dekker3D: I get 70% of minimum wage. If I
take up a job, it fills in
the reminaining 30% until I get more
than 100% minimum wage, at which point
the ... allowance
thing drops away
Dekker3D: A psychologist and a neurologist agreed
that I won't be able
to find a job because of
that psychological
thing. So,
they declared me "unfit for work".
Dekker3D: mircea_popescu, what makes you say
that?
punkman: wait, legally considered psychologically handicapped? is
that a
thing over
there?
mircea_popescu: dub: well
the first meeting is on necker island see, and he's
travelling by kite surfing on
the back of a naked chick on branson's back <<< lol ok!
Dekker3D: So I build a 3d printer, play
the guitar, program stuff, and
teach people crap
Dekker3D: Not without some outside help, anyway. It's going
to be difficult
to have an actual job with
that.
Dekker3D: It's a psychological
thing where I quite literally can't get started on certain
types of stuff.
Dekker3D: "white knighting". Ow, right in
the ego. But, I'm legally considered
to be handicapped so I don't really have a job.
assbot: You’re gonna have
to learn
that variety speak pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: a) i only learned it like yest, and it's emphatically not part of
the lingo here.
Dekker3D: "incel". Good gods, I'm going
to have
to find a different dictionary for
this place, aren't I?
mircea_popescu: cazalla: for some
time he has said we're all
trolls yet here he is again pitching us, makes me
think he's a scammer afterall << prolly just
the weird sort
that
tries
to do it on his own
terms but isn't either bright or great enough
to manage it. so he ends
this sort of ... i suppose
the word is incel.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: We auction off your data." << you can't put it in a
truck.
Dekker3D: Hm. A mask.
That IS a fancy idea.
punkman: mircea_popescu: well, masks are cheap aren't
they
mircea_popescu: punkman
the chick's actually reasonably hot but she figures she got bollywood prospects so doesn't really wanna.
mircea_popescu: prolly get 1
trilion dolars from all
the online geeks in a similar position
mircea_popescu: should be a crowdsourced project
this. "i need crowdmoneyz
to make a 380 km extendopenis
to fuck
this chick i met online
that can't really be bothered
to walk over, but i like
tothink of as a prospect"
punkman: Dekker3D, plane
ticket, camera, camshow IPO, profits!!
Dekker3D: Oh wait,
that's by road. It could be a few km less. Still sadly lacking
mircea_popescu: now you do about 2/3 of all
the people who are into crypto
that much.
Dekker3D: Well, I wanted
to learn a bit about
the "web of
trust" idea anyway, but never really knew anyone who was into crypto
that much
mircea_popescu: ;;rate Dekker3D 1 Guy's a pich. Which is sort of like a
tech pimp.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile max keiser of scamcoins r us wants
to put his manboobs in my pay for
tits scheme.
mircea_popescu: o god

mircea_popescu: ahahhha vcs don't get scammed ? because if you
type "vc scammed" into google you get ninjashogtards ?!
Dekker3D: That reminds me, my key should be done cooking by now. As in, uploading
to a server and whatnot
Dekker3D: gribbling for
the wot.
That sounds.. lovely.
Dekker3D: mircea_popescu,
the difference is negligible because she's doing sexy stuff on
the internet and I'm helping her do so.
That could make me her pimp or her
tech guy.
moiety: ohgod, i was scared
to read
