as nubbins referred to
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nono, the relation between this twerp and gs is about the same

as a bonus exercise for he who was smart enough to find the important spot, write an alternative future or description of what the prayer should hgave been

BingoBoingo: The sports dope arms race has a lulzy endgame though. Castrations because natural hormones aren't

as human
as the things competing in special olympics

mircea_popescu: "Many Americans today, just
as they did 200 years ago, feel burdened, stifled, and sometimes even oppressed by government that has grown too large, too bureaucratic, too wasteful, too unresponsive, too uncaring about people and their problems. I believe we can embark on a new age of reform in this country and an era of national renewal, an era that will reorder the relationship between citizen and government."
BingoBoingo: Most older gasoline engines would continue running
as well.

mircea_popescu: "I met Richard Stallman (RMS) once. Actually sat down to dinner with him at the same table but I didn’t realize who he was. He was poorly dressed, unkempt, needed a shower, and his conversation was both confused and confusing. I later learned that he was always that way. When he got up

BingoBoingo: Well, I make small modificattions, but
as per my classifications of these things it is delete and see if it still works rather than actual programming.
BingoBoingo: Basically a protest encampment is worthless. A protest encampment getting owned by the 5-0 is worthless. A protest camp that can put some hurt on the 5-0 however qualifies
as a revolution.
BingoBoingo: MisterE: This is how actual revolutions happen,
as opposed to the occupy wall street stuff where the only casualties are protesters who get brained by CS grenades.
BingoBoingo: Sure, the Phillipines

KRS-One: what do you think of the sphincter
as a hole?
mircea_popescu: that scary moment when you google a word that you know means ho and you discover that
as far
as google knows, the only instances it was ever used are on your blog.

as skill isn't
BingoBoingo: Great upset potential
as well, would have been a great bet to take both sides on.
pankkake: the mistake is to take litecoin
as "serious"
kakobrekla: So a "serious" exchange only offers "serious" coins? By what criteria does a coin count

as on their side. it is.

as group selection, and marginalisation, etc
benkay: it's not simply farmable
as is.
Vexual:
as a prequal to treasure island it's disappointing
mircea_popescu: i mean, take the notion of censorship. you consider it unbearable to be told to shut the fuck up, keep your bitching to yourself and disperse right now. but... you DO keep your thanking to yourself
as a matter of course,
as if it's ordained from on high.
mircea_popescu: decimation the idea isn't to "skim stuff" and try to pass it
