Chaang-Noi: people respect
things ehre more
than people and idea
Chaang-Noi: people pay 4
times
the normal price of a car (cuz
taxes) just so
they can show off
Chaang-Noi: in
thailand if you ahve money you are expected
to show off
mircea_popescu: it's not a faux pas and if johnny
thinks so let him go in a corner and sulk
mircea_popescu: i submit
that
taking
this retarded childrengarten bullshit into consideration is empowering
the mental disease.
Chaang-Noi: im multy
tasking, sorry, im sure
the fail is on my end
cads: mircea_popescu: yep. And
they're also very guarded about
their real capabilities, so for example, whereas a romanian might be happy
to brag about how little he payed on a car if you ask, asking an american
the same question is often a faux pas.
mircea_popescu: i
thought
the mpoe-pr discussion is over, as in, sigh.
Chaang-Noi: i ahve no problem with your girl being a girl,
that is not it at all lol
truff1es: "lovable assholes" is
there such a
thing
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the problem is mistaken socialisation.
the average american can not simply go
talk
to a woman.
Chaang-Noi: wow 2/3rd of
this conversation is romainian :)
Chaang-Noi: yeah showing off in
thailand is so much different
than showing off in
the usa
cads: From my personal experience, for example, when Romanians show off in front of Americans, at best
they
tend
to be perceived as lovable assholes.
The fact
that many romanians
tend
to show off only
they can back it with something
tangible helps in establishing relationships between americans and romanians, but
there is often a secret distaste.
cads: In america, when someone shows off
they
tend
to be an asshole. Keeping your cards close
to your chest is often a better social move here, because showing off invites open ridicule.
Chaang-Noi: but what
truffles said, it does seem you guys just dont give a fuck
cads: mircea_popescu: re.
the showing off, I've often wondered about
that myself.
mircea_popescu: everyone. when she drops
the shoe
the entire dev
team gets cracking for one.
Chaang-Noi: she is one of
the mostly highly ignored people
mircea_popescu: she's probably
the only one
there
taken quite seriously.
Chaang-Noi: yes
there is a differance between her and inaba, but just cuz inaba is fail does not mean your pr girl is good
truff1es: Chaang-Noi have u read
trilema,
they dont care lol
Chaang-Noi: they dont
take her siourly, and so
they dont
take you either
mircea_popescu: the difference here would be
that inaba never gave a strauight answer, has been caught lieing etc.
Chaang-Noi: when she has
the PR
tag she is your face
to
the world
Chaang-Noi: as in not good for
the image of
the company she represents and is speaking for
Chaang-Noi: public relations, yes clearly
there is communication, but you communicate ideas,
the ideas she communicates are not what i would considrer
to be good
Chaang-Noi: well
to each
thier own, imo
they both do more hard
to
the image of
the company
they work for
mircea_popescu: perhaps gavin, but only on
the condition
that he keeps quiet a lot on most issues.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: actually i don't know anyone nearly as good as her on
those forums.
truff1es: (Without almost a single exception) every
time I read MPOE-PR, I
think, "but he cannot be, if he actually pays for
this shit
to be posted in his name". >>> sick burn
truff1es: seems like rpietila aims
to make btc an exclusive
thing, dont like
truff1es: A piece of equipment, such as a PC or peripheral, attached
to a network.
mircea_popescu: yeah. so weird
tho, americans are really uncomfortable showing off.
truff1es: a place
to showoff and show how much
they know
than everyone else :p
Chaang-Noi: and
they are all new people who are in
the area who want
to learn more about btc
Chaang-Noi: but it just seemed fitting for
the style he is going for
truff1es: "There are now 6 paid admissions
to
the summit, and all of
them are for a physical stay."
Chaang-Noi: mp well
they are not forced
to wear
top hats but he did get a limo and
the point is
to be a show off
Chaang-Noi: well... im not sure what he wants
to accomplish
Chaang-Noi: however no one is going cuz lack of plaaning and it being
too soon
Chaang-Noi: otehr
than looking fancy
they are going
to
try
to set up a "super node" dealership network
Chaang-Noi: he is also having a conferance in finland where everyone is forced
to wear
top hats and drive in limos
Chaang-Noi: he is a nutter who odds are is on coke/weed and
thin\ks btw will be 1 million usd by christmas
truff1es: is
there a
tldr of
the rpietila diary?
truff1es: just realized
the name is rpietila not repitilla..
Chaang-Noi: mine is only 970ish oz but its a comex bar,
they call it 1000oz bars.
truff1es: the gold bar looks like chocolate
to me ..
truff1es: i was expecting
to see
the bar not a summary
Chaang-Noi: im a silver bug and i dont even have
that much silver
Chaang-Noi: yeah and he joined
the bull market a bit
too late
truff1es: its
the kind of mind
that believes bitcoin with go up up up
truff1es: Chaang-Noi you made a legit
transaction with repitilla?
Chaang-Noi: the only way i see getting it out of
thailand is buying back btc
Chaang-Noi: that sell
to
that repitilla guys has made my portfolio out of balance, i have more cash on hand
than i want in
thailand...
truff1es: you cant really
teach someone how
to express
themselves :)
Chaang-Noi: i
think he is nuts but it should be expressed with something other
than an insult
Chaang-Noi: as crazy as it sounds,
the repillia guy might be right and we hit, $300,000 a btc by new years
Chaang-Noi: she has improved ill give you
that but her last attack on reptillia man seems kinda lame
Chaang-Noi: she was after me for months about my mining operation claiming it was a scam cuz no photos. i
told her
three
times
the link
to
the photos wherein
the op of
the
thread
Chaang-Noi: i avoid
the whole economic subsection as 985 of
the people who post
there are idots
Chaang-Noi: well
these
three people are clearly idots
mircea_popescu: it's just on
the forum she rarely has any opportunity
to.
mircea_popescu: she's actually better at
the wit & class
takedowns imo
Chaang-Noi: shec an have good posts, but on average she does more harm
than good
Chaang-Noi: i doubt it, im just
talking about over
the last 2 eyars or whatever
Chaang-Noi: she really for
the most part does not do anything but show how
trash she is
mircea_popescu: no, i'm pretty sure
this is a young guy with a little money/ a business who discovered btc later
than us, got real excited, wanted
to burn
the stages
Chaang-Noi: i kinda doubt it as well, but man, it would explain a few
things:)
