mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ok, but not
that, specifically remittance. "send your paycheck
to wife back in nicaragua" sorta
things.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so
there's
this "have specialist counter-provider". most electronics stores in orclands will let you pay your utility bills etc. << AHA, abitab, RedPagos, etc
hanbot: <BingoBoingo> asciilifeform: So people can stand in line
to send payments << lol
truth
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they disinvented cheques because copier is a
thing and well... even in
the 70s us it was quite iffy.
mircea_popescu: so
there's
this "have specialist counter-provider". most electronics stores in orclands will let you pay your utility bills etc.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo oh like a "we're
too poor
to sell
tickets/collect bills, so use
this mob-like scam
ticketfuckery.com" sorta
thing ?
BingoBoingo: They send money across
town,
to
the interior,
to
the bill collectors
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you mean
they're sending money
to
themselves ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: So people can stand in line
to send payments
BingoBoingo: I dun know if any of
them
talk outside uruguay
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
There's a couple local in uruguay services, will look into it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it meanwhile dawned on me. why
the fuck would wu even be part of
this conversation.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do you have some local remitter in
that neck of
the woods ?
mircea_popescu: but i mean... you understand how little sense
this makes, neither of
this has anything
to do... oh, cuz wu is a us
thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this shit doesn't actually work in any sense, does it.
hanbot: seriously
though it's not at all clear.
hanbot: mircea_popescu i
think if you ask why, a
terrorist is you.
mircea_popescu: hanbot it's not entirely clear, is
the idea
that you're
the
terrorist ? or
that he is
the
terrorist ?
mircea_popescu: if
this ends up settled by
the mailing of a large quantity of alfajores... keks
hanbot: mircea_popescu i'm not even sure,
their banhammer is like a pile of weird noodles.
hanbot: Anyway, I'm going
to get it settled
tomorrow. Sorry for
the delay.
hanbot: I don't
think I'ma bother
to debug
their nonsense, as far as I'm concerned Western Union was never even marginally useful for any purpose I can
think of. But obviously
they did carefully write down all
the details before not doing any work, so I dunno...advanced warning I guess? Not sure how much
the shitpile can be relied on.

the end, administrative overhead (finding localbitcoinists,
talking
to
them,
talking
to western union, updating
the site objects according
to reality in
the field etcetera) comes around 2 hours / successful payment.
hanbot: BingoBoingo: I went
to send your WU, but either someone I
traded with back in
the days of
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-24#1817953 that is based in Peru did Something Bad(tm), or else I dunno, your gf? In any case
they're doing
this entire song & dance about how "there's an alert" and "i gotta
talk
to a lawyer
to justify...it's not clear what or why or
to whom", entirely contentless fluff.
☝︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Latest update from Venezuala is
that none of
the 4 cars in
the garage work, but
the motocicleta does.
mircea_popescu: "couldnt you just use
the other prisoners
then ?!" "eh, what's
the subversive fun in
that."
mircea_popescu: come
to
think of it, i suppose
this would be
the pinnacle of perversity :
to get
titfixed women smuggled into prison for your amusement, but only ever fuck
them in
the ass.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 19:27 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no moar cows in uruguay ? << AH, apparently selling all
the cows
to china for a while was a problem but
they are catching up with
the fucking.
nicoleci: asciilifeform, jesus - bad
time
to voice myself. maybe
the raccoon saw
those fetlife pictures.. mp was saying he needs more gross shit on his blog
mircea_popescu: apparently it has
the capacity
to whoosh BOTH WAYS over your ehad!

☟︎ mircea_popescu: she is literally laughing at you, alf. recalling ? you mean
tigdic ?
mircea_popescu: "manspreading" is a
thing, femfatting is not a
thing, rite rite.
BingoBoingo: The socialism has run
to
the point
things are breaking, and... Bahamas doesn't do,
Trump does
BingoBoingo: Cows do
their job, people who carry on from
the cow's work fail
to do so
mircea_popescu: or let me guess,
they all went
to college, cutting up paper now.
BingoBoingo: But
the short of it is he has one of
the several firms contracted for filling government dope baggies with product for pharmacy distribution. Manages
to actually accomplish
that
task.
BingoBoingo: Megablog on
that situation is still baking, should not cross into five figure wordcount
BingoBoingo: Produce product
to spec within insaneland limits
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: By doing his damnest
to do
the industrial garden
thing
BingoBoingo: The nugget
there is Mr. MUGA is
the fellow keeping Uruguay's legal cannabis market from collapsing
nicoleci: mod6,
thanks, you
too! lol you definitely surprised me, i
thought i was dreaming of
the channel for a second
mod6: Nice
talkin'
to ya, btw. I know it was short, but I didn't wanna burn your
time or call money.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6 what do you
think << yeah! Sounds good. I put
together a
thing, lemme dig it out...
mircea_popescu: because
totally, if ro anontard is poor
then everyone and everything he might see or hear is equally poor anontard.
mircea_popescu recalls in
the early 2010s in romania, varios 0 value local niggers (who
thought
themselves important, much like
the above mentioned Abdala Nobodyonastick) kept calling my secretary and having various brainstop moments on
the phone.
nicoleci: ok ill use
the standardized greeting and potentially
take notes.. and contact info if possible
BingoBoingo: Hopefully with productive bleeding
to edge ratio
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the idea is mostly
to permit "journa"
tards get a documentation point for
their shitty markov chain processes of wordsalading ; and i suppose for
the internet cucks
to wank at.
nicoleci: ok cool. has anyone been able
to ask questions before or is
the ability
to openly ask questions all new?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was
there a fixed greeting ? "Hello you have reached
The Bitcoin Foundation, how may I help you ?"
mircea_popescu: nicoleci notrly, if anyone calls asking for infos relay
the q's here. other
than
that...
nicoleci: asciilifeform, haha
thanks. feel free
to call me anytime and yell about
the logs summaries
nicoleci: asciilifeform, no worries! i
think
their was a connection issue because i could barely understand you but mod6 was clear
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In
the interim her, mother, and small zoo of dogs and cats are in very un-Uruguayo home with six car garage
