mircea_popescu: and in other hieroglyph lulz, me at travel agent, buying tickets. calls girl, "send so and so email a picture". beet red travel agent. "you know... i needed a copy of the passport". "what did you get ?" > nudegirl.jpg

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wonder why they even bother spelling that shit out by now, truly should just have pictorgraphs.

mircea_popescu: -293.0-292.1 ie, mp "who is not truly a billionaire because reasons" is more than willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of the coins.
mircea_popescu: which, considering the sad confluence of not dumb people who (self servingly, and shamelessly), "think" bitcoin code is perfect (hey, alpha dun wanna be bothered, yes ?) and imbeciles who "are being like suparheoes power rangers"... is a virtual certainty.

mircea_popescu: average gauleiter actually gains more from secretaries NOT HAVING ink ribbons so they can't do their job than from their HAVING ink ribbons and doing their job.
mircea_popescu: this is periodically discussed in the logs, but i suppose pretty out there to grok.
mircea_popescu: irl, the relative gain from "lording it over" the "lower" limbs that need tools to do their job is often more significant than the gain to the decident of the actual correct usage.
mircea_popescu: it is a tempting naivism to imagine the empire as a sort of frictionless monster, in which every limb gets full and impeded access to any tool it needs whenever it needs it. this however is not how any empire works irl.

mircea_popescu: anyway, totally on my list of people to visit later and piss on the shoes on.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that's exactly like "get 100k/month in google advertising checks!!!"
mircea_popescu: busing tables better, but yeah, prolly too good for injun.
mircea_popescu: it's about as financially productive as "make money online"
