00:07

this is my very first encounter with an english-speaking anybody who read Limonov.

00:08

'Limonov and his friends consider themselves Russians, because to them, Ukrainian is a village tongue, a peasant language, and its most vivid expressions are of the endless hatred that filled every one of the many tribes on the grasslands, like this one: Into Muscovite, Polack, and Jew/Take your knife and stick it through.'

mircea_popescu: j. c. scott's 'art of not being governed' (which is entirely about asia, incidentally, and mentions this not at all) is the best guide;

00:12

what should fuhrer do when his kingdom breaks into cities (starving) and countryside, which needs nothing from the cities

00:13

in light of an urgent need to industrialize and resist conquest

00:13

i can readily see how something like that would create plenty of national identity.

00:14

"we are the people you tried to kill, and we will bury you"

00:14

that's russia in 1 sentence.

00:14

since 14th c. or so.

00:14

anyway, good point in pando article, re the "party line". it suffers from spina bifida, and will crumble into dust

00:14

granted, being on receiving end isn't terribly fun.

00:15

(one of the best predictors of who will be defeated in any conflict is see whose messages don't manage to coallesce, displaying instead dualities)

00:16

Is there a bitbet yet on when it formally becomes war?

00:16

'Western meds aren't working any moreon itself or anyone else.'

00:17

chetty i doubt anyone has the nazi esprit de corps to actually declare wars anymore.

00:17

the 'international komoonity' doesn't war. it drive-by shoots.

00:18

Putin is set to respond to Obama's sanctions of Russian officials with his own list. Several U.S. Senators and officials will be banned from visiting Russia, including Sen. Dick Durbin.

00:19

im curious how much us t's is russia holding in offshore accounts

00:20

because if they do hold enough they're going to trigger a contest with the chinese as to who dumps them first

00:20

and that, for the first time since 2008, is actually a clear path tho the end.

00:20

its like school yard fights ... oh yeah, your mother wears combat boots

00:21

"The two versions of RussiaMcCains gas station masquerading as a country and Lakes fearsome conquerorboth start from the same bitter knowledge, even if Senator McCain and Mr. Lake will never admit that fact in public. Its a simple one: Russia will take Crimea, wont pay a big price for it, and theres not a thing anyone can do about it."

00:21

myeah.

00:23

'Russia promised to respond symmetrically. In its arsenal is: popping the huge financial bubble and causing a resumption of the financial collapse of 2008 by any number of means, from requiring gold instead of fiat currency as payment for oil and gas, to dumping US dollar reserves (in concert with China), to putting the EU on a fast track to economic collapse by giving the natural gas valve a slight clock

00:23

wise twist...'

00:23

nah, they're never stoppin gthe gas. putin is much too smart for that.

00:24

they may add a say 30% surcharge for any us exports just for fun tho.

what sorts of things are you talking about now?

00:44

http://pando.com/about/

00:44

Why I Started PandoDaily | PandoDaily

00:44

Ive paid a WordPress designer named Sara Cannon $8,000 to build this site.

00:45

i'm thinking more along the lines of 2fa implementations

00:46

which coulda been did for nothing with gpg

00:46

8k for a wp "design". you hear me ?

00:46

and this is a start-up, by some journo chick which supposedly knows what time it is.

00:47

well given the million for the Ocare site, sounds cheap :P

00:47

millions*

00:47

if you average it all out... it costs more today than it did in 2002.

00:48

the design stuff?

00:48

per site

00:48

implying it could be had for less and that honey was ripped off?

00:48

as a business concept.

00:48

and somehow they all look the same ..

00:48

also, you ever heard the word panopticon before ?

00:49

its where we live, the perfect prison

00:49

i have!

00:50

(i was briefly educated by people)

00:50

aok

The Myth of the Non-Technical Startup Employee, by Zoelle Egner | Model View Culture

00:53

i always figured the ops people were interchangeable by virtue of their labor being by and large totally fungible

00:53

the ones whose labor wasn't, weren't. granted those are "controllers" and what have you, not "office managers" or "directors of employee happiness".

00:54

a good office manager can be worth a lot

00:54

it really all depends

00:55

hm yeah

00:55

trying to figure out the knobs on the "how to get coffee made for me and a whole bunch of other shit done too for not a terrific amount of money"

00:56

they're not borrowing at 0

00:56

they're borrowing at 0.25

00:56

a ty

00:57

pretty close, tho

00:57

mhm.

00:58

baaaasically zero compared to the btc rate

00:58

which, hey

00:58

what is the borrowing rate these days?

00:58

For one, nobody knows how many dollars exist in the world, and furthermore one can never trust the government to not simply double the number of dollars in circulation, thereby halving the value of your savings (provided you were stupid enough to actually keep them in cash).

00:58

that's only half the story.

00:59

"thereby halving the value of cash savings, and piling a ton of taxeable "capital gains" on your non cash savings"

00:59

oh ho

00:59

if i own a sheep worth 10 dollars today, and the fed prints another 20 trillion dollars

00:59

oh god

00:59

i will have then owned a sheep worth 10 dollars + 10 mnore dolars in unrealised gains.

01:00

oh i get it

01:00

and that second part is really the big part.

01:04

i thought pando was backed by that techcrunch guy

01:04

arrington?

01:05

yeah

01:05

nah, just some chick he maybe shagged

01:05

his name's on the investors list is it not?

01:05

(under his aol contract he can't possibly start a pando)

01:05

sure,

please help shes dying

so ugh, I've been skimming the logs for quite a while. there's no point in doing a multisig Bitcoin marketplace, is there?

Nothing can promise positive returns on the timeline of soon. Not even things which might probably realize a positive return on the timeline of, quite a ways in the future.

BingoBoingo: so what do you consider bad in doing a multisig one? usability?

09:41

bitmia: Well, what would you want the multisig to do that couldn't otherwise be accomplished?

09:41

BingoBoingo: nothing, it's an extra

09:42

to increase conversion

09:43

bitmia: Well, what ways are there to do what multisig does which would be both A) less of a hassle and B) accomplish your goal more effectively

09:44

ThickAsThieves nubbins`: Dat Social engineering

09:44

BingoBoingo: encrypt buyer's privkey on the server using his password, automatically sign the transaction with the seller's key, show the buyer a flashy "finalize" button?

09:46

bitmia: This confusion you are showing you you use words like privkey and automatically sign, is a common one

09:47

Now if you want to trust something stronger than passwords that is admirable.

09:47

bitmia: Have you ever authenticated with Gribble before?

09:47

yes, why?

09:48

bitmia: Which way do you usually authenticate?

09:49

decrypting a pgp encrypted message?

09:49

bitmia: And does Gribble ever have to possess your private key for this to happen?

09:50

I see where you're going with this, it's simply a pain in the ass to do multisig

09:50

ThickAsThieves: let's hope so, pretty shocking lack of security

09:51

BingoBoingo: will 2FA suffice, you think?

09:51

bitmia: Well, I was more going for it is problematic to have multisig where all of the keys live on the same server.

09:52

bitmia: Why not have people authenticate by decrypting or signing a challenge, like gribble does?

09:52

cause it won't be A) less of a hassle

09:53

bitmia: But, it handles authentication much better.

and the price for the platform is 380USD so not really sure I will be wasting money even if it goes titis up :)

blackwhite_, retrofitting whatever you are buying is gonna be a hassle

10:53

yeah perhaps

10:54

especially if you don't already know where you're getting your data from

10:54

JUST SAYIN

10:54

why is that a problem?

10:54

I can figure that out

10:54

if you can figure it out, why ask us?

10:54

by among other things asking in this channel :)

10:54

well because this is a good place to ask

10:54

"hey guys i'd like to open a sandwich shop, is there any place i can buy deli meats in bulk?"

↖

10:54

huh?

10:54

know what i mean?

10:54

no I don't

10:55

then you're doomed

10:55

i am asking in this channel because there are a lot of knowledgeable people here

10:55

sure

10:55

so whats the problem?

10:55

[HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 5000 @ 0.00015002 = 0.7501 BTC [-] {4}

10:55

the problem is, you're getting ahead of yourself

10:55

you think just because I don't get an answer here I won't have any other options

10:55

the first thing you should do is figure out where to get your data from

10:55

so that is what I am doing right now

10:56

if your first instinct is to pop on irc and ask someone rather than do a simple google search which would have already given you answers...

10:56

...then you're not ready to run a business of any sort

10:57

hey, it makes no difference to me

10:58

you are getting ahead of yourself assuming things you have no knowledge about.

10:58

just a downer when people pop in here asking others to do their basic research for them

10:58

11:37

for instance, i don't actually want to spend any time around people for whom gpg is challenging to use

11:37

uhoh

11:38

(dramatic overstatement, chetty)

11:38

hihi, well I admit I usually have to look up commands - sigh

11:38

come on, gpg is user friendly!

11:38

benkay: you'd certainly want that if you were a seller

11:39

[HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 996 @ 0.00400297 = 3.987 BTC [-] {5}

11:39

but as a buyer I dont really want my crypto too easy

11:39

so the point of the gpg claim is that if you can't read the gnu privacy guard manual, you're worthless

11:40

chetty: easy ≠ insecure

11:40

bitmia: i don't really do mass-market plays.

11:40

nope the two are not really related, its all perception

11:40

mo users, mo problems.

11:40

mo users, mo money in my book :)

11:41

classic startup circus attitude.

11:41

http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2014/03/18/report-ny-to-probe-high-frequency-trading/

11:42

would we rather a billion pennies from a billion paupers, or individual clients with lifetime value to the firm in excess of 500B each?

11:43

this is a matter of personal preference, obviously.

11:43

[HAVELOCK] [AM1] 2 @ 0.62501 = 1.25 BTC [-] {2}

11:43

there is room in this world for both kinds

11:43

of course

11:44

is there room in a given business model for serving both?

11:44

dunno, haven't seen any that satisfy the criteria yet.

11:44

maybe Eve?

11:45

one can buy impressive e-peen widgets in that game, and at nontrivial prices to boot.

11:46

benkay, I was doing a marketplace, remember? how the fuck am I supposed to have individual clients with a lifetime value of 500B?

11:46

obviously you're going for pennies from paupers.

11:47

matter of personal taste, like i said.

11:47

that's the point, and paupers don't like 'em private keys

11:47

which is what will keep them forever worth pennies.

11:47

inability or unwillingness to do the hard things necessary to raise personal value above a single dollar.

11:47

baww

11:48

benkay, and what are the hard necessary things in a marketplace?

11:49

having something worth selling maybe?

11:49

kinda unclear question

11:49

hard for the guy building the marketplace or hard for the participants?

11:50

what would you like to see in an ebay style, two-way Bitcoin marketplace? what security features

11:50

WoT integration would be neat

11:50

both as a seller and a buyer

11:50

probably a non-starter around here without that.

11:54

anyone else receiving fake wallet backups from blockchain.info?

11:56

phishing emails?

11:56

benkay: I considered using an irc bot to create profiles for the ones that don't have them yet, but that would mean holding their privkeys for them. beats the purpose sortof

11:59

if i were building that thing (and i'm not, and we haven't even discussed the market use for such a thing in the wake of the other ebay clones that have failed), i'd make it a hard requirement for sellers to have WoT identities.

11:59

Mats_cd03: e-mails containing a wallet backup ending in .jar

11:59

but if they have a bitcoin wallet, they can sign a thing.

11:59

it is still unclear why they failed tho

11:59

yeah, well, occam

12:00

but irrelevant, you seem set on doing your thing

12:00

anyways.

12:00

gpg is not even necessary for wot participation, you should know.

↖

12:00

a bitcoin wallet under user control would suffice

12:00

"but what about the coinbase and web wallet users?"

12:00

well man if you really want to scrape the bottom of the barrel, ain't nobody going to stop you.

12:01

make em use private wallets at least, get people off using webwallets

12:02

the blockchain size is the ultimate demotivator

12:02

electrum bam

12:03

dood you need to do so much reading

12:03

so wait, wait

12:03

grok spv?

12:03

you want me to persuade users to use irc, electrum, pgp, what else?

12:03

you must have a reading problem.

12:04

electrum will suffice for identification.

12:04

"sign this thing."

12:04

lol electrum

12:04

you can even proxy over to gribble yourself

12:04

electrum's still a thing, right thestringpuller?

12:04

are there any viable spv wallets kicking around?

12:05

i'm too old for this conversation

12:05

i turn 62 next month

12:05

so

12:05

i'm not up to date with you young whipper snappers

12:06

benkay: I like Multibit, but haven't found comepelling cause to try versions newer than 0.5.11

12:06

ya well constant upgrades are the fruit of the devil

12:06

so bitmia go learn about simple payment verification and why people don't actually need the whole blockchain on disk.

12:08

bitmia_

hm, what about a browser extension to include the wot (proxied over to gribble) and the escrow thing?

12:09

sounds like an implementation detail to me.

12:09

just download the block chain

12:10

you broke ass niggas

12:10

12:11

bitmia_

if only it took less time than a week

12:12

yeah but thestringpuller don't you understand bitmia_'s customers can barely swing a bitcent ;)

12:16

benkay: but really, why do you think bitmit/coingig went to shit?

12:17

because bitcoin isn't a consumer technology.

12:18

and never will be?

12:18

how many on the welfare roles own a single troy oz?

12:19

you can't teleport silver, can you?

;;later tell benkay haha I just noticed your excellent use of "Bin Popescu"! You also made me realize that it should've been "ben" (also note the lowercase "b", eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_ben_Johanan). Also, I'm really hoping that MP being "the hardest target in Bitcoin" is the sexual euphemism I think it is. Lastly, given your iOS cryptoproject, what are your thoughts on Glyph?

or whatever the equivalent term for a bitcoin wallet operator is?

20:59

Warren Buffet doesn't want to end up with 1,000 sub $650 Bitcoins. Is there a place to borrow 1000 BTC? Assuming his WOT is legit?

20:59

hm. but blockchain.info doesn't hold any btcs?

21:00

hi

21:00

so, the doge financier person's loan fell through. what a waste of several weeks of exchanges with him.

21:01

benkay that's genius. the phrase "liquidity event resulting customer loss of funds" might work

there's 3-4 of those, but you never know when they croak, so.

trivial to get the data for it, just run a node.

i mean, what is one supposed to call folks chanting 'смерть жидам' and marching with Galician SS banners?

21:46

"idiots" works

21:46

it's purely a problem of terminology, see ?

21:47

idiots of a particular rare variety, which survived in a curious 'nature preserve' for quite some time

21:47

as far as i recall the nazis raped ukraine pretty good, the notion someone there actually is much of a nazi is ridicxulous on its face to begin with.

21:47

right wing, i guess, "socialistically-challenged", whatever.

21:47

if a zoologist were to speak of a lion, he wouldn't merely say 'panthera'

21:47

but those dudes aren't "nazis" in that sense.

21:48

they're more akin to the aryan union, actually.

21:48

heck, they're probably inspired by the aryan union.

21:49

correct. except, with some non-negligible historical continuity with the actual nazis, which the american version lacks

21:49

read their own turds, where the wankers proclaim 'i wanna finish what grandpa started'

21:49

which... you know, has to to with nazism about as much as mice and men with martin short and steven segall has to do with french impresionism

21:49

yeah yeah, but you know and i know it's entirely empty posturing.

21:50

what did his granpa start ? a kolhoz ?

21:50

what would be needed for non-emptiness? a resurrected hitler?

21:50

for instance, a rejection of ukrainians as lower stock ?

21:50

an actual nazi party in the ukraine would be quite the schopenhauerian feat.

21:51

but, what would be needed for it to qualify as a proper nazi party? merely the brand and logo?

21:51

[HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 50 @ 0.00424994 = 0.2125 BTC [-]

no, as i say. it can't be a proper nazi party for as long as it seriously contemplates accepting any ukrainian national in its ranks.

right. the equivalent of romania's iron guard's codreanu idjit.

21:54

but that's still not nazi.

21:55

you're quite right that the actual, historic nazis are gone.

21:55

what's left is... well, this.

21:55

and anyway! death to the jews ?

21:55

why aren't these qualifications for "loyal subjects of the king of aragon" ?

21:56

or for caterine de medicis ?

21:56

this isn't even the interesting part about the west ua folks

21:56

"death to the jews" is, at least in europe, about as common as "open your legs, i'm not gonna do anything"

21:56

what they want isn't to be merely left alone to run their historical (province of poland, really) agrarian pesthole

21:56

they'd like to dominate the historically rus. west, and own the soviet-built factories which they had no part in creating

21:57

so that makes them neo nazis ?!

21:57

mostly to saw into scrap and sell to the nato block

21:57

i mean understand me, i am not proposing that either side or party or w/e active entity there is either respectable or in the right.

21:58

im merely saying that the neonazi label is about as approximative as calling them "knights of the cuisinart", or freemasons.

21:58

nah, marching around in ss garb makes them. you gotta appreciate how this makes them an almost physiological allergen to anyone who grew up even vaguely russian.

21:58

and inasmuch as this is the case, which exact label one picks serves as a group identification. if you use the russian propaganda terminology you basically are throwing up a flag and little more.

21:58

ah, cause the "great patriotic war" stuff ?

21:59

"Unlike competing Polish, Russian, Hungarian or Romanian nationalisms in late imperial Austria, imperial Russia, interwar Poland and Romania, Ukrainian nationalism did not include antisemitism as a core aspect of its program and saw Russians as well as Poles as the chief enemy with Jews playing a secondary role." lmao.

21:59

shithole didn't even have jews in the first place.

22:00

who did the jerries plug at babi yar? martians?

22:01

hm this is a point.

22:01

so then what, were the jews in ukraine mostly settled farmers ?

22:01

22:04

22:05

22:08

orlov's position, as far as i can tell, is that u.s. inherited the crown of idiocy worn by the old ussr

22:09

and that anyone who interferes with it's doings, for whatever purpose, is to be applauded

22:10

but in what terms ?

22:10

that's always been the question of the independent thinker,

22:10

as hamlet plainly states.

22:11

it is not easy to describe, accurately and completely, the nato block's policy of nation-wrecking using something other than 'russian' terms. but you're welcome to try.

22:11

i, for one, would like to read the result.

22:11

but calling people "neonazis" describes nothing, and especially not accurately or completely.

22:11

in fact, pretty much anything else would work better.

22:12

it isn't orlov's (or putin's) fault that the west ua folks insist on becoming something out of a comic book

if he did more craigkate type of stuff it'd be riotous.

22:30

putin's position with respect to the u.s. is roughly similar to mpex vs. the btc wankiverse

22:31

this is the problem with large organisations and old people, they aren't in touch with the kids anymore, dunno how to really hurt them.

22:31

the latter has nothing the former needs

22:31

a steady stream of "putin takes stance on making kremlin toilets use recycled paper" bs would do wonders.

22:31

asciilifeform yes, but you will notice that mpex has mpoe-pr doing a lot of fun stuff

22:31

mp will you pay for my ticket from Romania to Amsterdam to go to the Bitcoin 2014 conference and call out Jon Matonis with a crowd present?

"The Piraeus bond deal underscores both the continued improvement in the perception of Greeces economy as well as the flood of cash in the financial system that has depressed returns on debt of all stripes."

i'll tell you who. all the people with worthless cash.

22:36

maybe if they all trade bonds for bonds enough between countries, all the debt will go away

22:37

that's the idea right?

22:37

yeah, like if you have sex with a lot of 3 year olds your hiv will be cured.

22:37

kick the can, it's barely got a dent!

22:38

thestringpuller that's in like late april.

22:38

The current digital currency narrative, while certainly attractive to entrepreneurs, venture capital, and the media, is extremely "First World" in nature. And a primary question remains -- do such innovations, as we know them today, address the needs of consumers and businesses on both sides of an international transaction?

22:38

derp.

22:38

how can there be so much derp available ?

22:39

the one inexhaustible natural resource.

22:39

it's like... nobody ever puts in a derp order that goes unfilled by the derpgods ?

22:39

is that a WU quote?

22:39

yea

22:39

22:39

well forbes really

"The Piraeus bond deal underscores..."

i never tried that one. what's it, a vodka ?

22:40

22:40

i mixed

22:40

probly regret it tomorrow

22:40

actually "instead" sounds more like a tequilla

22:40

who was 'pravda' for? not every squeal that comes out of an idiot is intended to communicate - even to deceive. sometimes, it's just the croaking of frogs.

22:41

it's just wired to make certain noises.

22:41

i doubt frogs croak without communicative intent

22:42

i vaguely recall that the buzz isn't from the wings proper, but from little quasi-vestigial winglets

lmao so i made hotel reservations today, which they confirmed in triplicate, and the girl eager to impress both her boss and his mysterious business partner guy of numerous hermetic grandeurs (ie, me) broke out the special character set : "doublé rooms" she says.

22:47

this is compounded by her being mad at neil degrasse tyson for saying evolution is a fact

22:47

wait what ?!

22:47

she just thinks scientists shouldnt be so arrogant about their proven theories

22:48

this woman would chew on her own liver if she ever read these logs wouldn't she.

22:48

i explained that just because they say evolution is fact, doesnt mean they exclude all other possible influence

22:48

she'd at least chew on mine

22:48

maybe mutations arent totally random, whatever

22:49

everything is true until it is untrue

mircea_popescu: is the conference in may not april?

she just thinks they need to be more open-minded

i explained there is a scienctific process

22:50

etc

22:50

well i agree, they should be more open minded.

22:50

sure

22:50

this is like, you know, coffee should taste better.

22:50

but you can see how the first statement morphed with each of my rebuttals

22:50

how come nobody goes around telling, say, electrical engineers to be 'more open minded,' and consider devils as an alternative to maxwell's equations in explaining electromagnetic phenomena ?

asciilifeform more open minded, in this context, is for instance considering the point that a severe beating is liable to be at least as effective an educational tool as speech.

22:51

really the only lesson to learn is to not watch Cosmos with others

22:52

it's boring as fuck anyway

22:52

afaik this is not a controversial position outside of the weird anglo nature preserve.

22:52

which is a billion strong and incredibly vocal.

22:52

that, and of course, that your wife is always right

22:52

people keep harping about "inequality of wealth distribution", but that fails to worry me.

22:53

what does worry me is that out of the stupidities emitted every day, said sphere leisurely owns 99.x%

22:53

while by population should only be entitled to a modest 15%

22:53

well why are smart people so disinclined to reproduce?

22:53

because they know better

22:53

because it doesn't pay.

22:53

pretty stupid, if you ask me

22:54

do youwant me to dig up my article on the topic ?

22:54

at least donate sperm

22:54

lel

22:54

donate sperm, no thanks

22:54

is it in Romanian?

22:54

i can't recall ;/

22:54

i watched a documentary on Romanian street kids

22:55

the anglos have fucked up even sperm donation

22:55

girls that look like boys, huffing paint all day

22:55

us and brits both opened donors to paternity lawsuits

22:55

"why are smart people disinclined to put their lives and plans on hold for decades and hit a generational reset button?"

22:55

totally valid question D;

22:55

is that still how it is in the subway?

22:56

the documentary blamed it on the banning of birth control

22:56

but all the kids seemed to be escaping alcoholic dads

22:57

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_Underground

22:59

huffing toluene/whatever other solvents is not that geograpghically concentrated

22:59

by some accounts, we have the u.s. newspapers (circa '50s-60s) to thank for the popularity of this practice.

23:00

it may actually be genetic. about 18% or so of the population finds various aromatic hydrocarbons... aromatic.

23:00

(ie, gasoline smells good to them)

23:00

i like the smell of gasoline

23:00

so there yo ugo. you're a winner.

23:00

lol

23:01

you have like 30% chances to develop some types of liver cancer etc.

23:01

aurolac i think, was the stuff they huffed

23:01

might just be an 'irritation threshhold' phenomenon.

23:01

that's a brand name.

23:01

asciilifeform what i read suggested it's the presence of particular enzimatic pathways

23:01

like some people think peanut butter smells awful

23:02

i mean i dont like so much i'd seek out smelling it

23:02

their liver is just not too happy with the prospect of having to cope with that load.

23:02

but there's some interest when i do

23:02

'normal' phenotype doesn't really get to smell the gasoline, he goes 'aargh' from his nose dissolving a little

23:02

i also love peanut butter

23:02

a lot

23:02

so do most dogs

23:02

well

23:02

i dont like dogs particularly

23:03

anyway, there's a lot of metabolic diversity under this "all humans are humans" misguided perception. and it isn't limited to this species, either.

23:03

some dogs love chocolate. some other dogs can die spontaneously from it.

23:03

cats are fine, but i've never heard of a cat like th estuff

23:03

obligate carnivores tend to have 'underpowered' liver

23:04

on average.

23:04

i have a cat that loves beer

23:04

which i know is toxic for cats

23:04

onions are bad for cats

23:04

the beast isn't really built to deal with plant toxins

23:04

another cat loves wheat bread

23:04

tears through the bag if left unattended

23:05

there's mixed opinions on whether tomatoes are bad for cats

23:05

same cat will play fetch too

23:05

asciilifeform yeah. but also a lot of variation there.

23:05

altho TBH people thought tomatoes were bad for people until what, the 1800s?

23:05

nubbins` that was due to the lead.

23:05

a plant toxin the eater can't 'deal with' is poison, or drug, depending on dose and aesthetics

23:05

asciilifeform i kept proposing people to make catnip illegal in the us

23:05

i figured it was because it's from the nightshade family

23:05

very few got the high quality trolling they were blessed with.

23:06

either way, imagine being the guy who discovered tomatoes are awesome

23:06

nubbins` no. this was chiefly a us phenomenon. the us at the time was poor and lazy, so most of their flatware was made of lead.

23:06

guess what happens to lead that's washed in aciding tomato juice.

23:06

if catnip worked on man like it does on cat, i doubt it would be permitted even in the u.s. botanical garden.

23:06

acidic*

23:06

raw tomatoes make me gag

23:06

it makes the food healthier? ;(

23:06

(where you will find, for instance, khat - and possibly other forbidden flora)

23:07

asciilifeform but why should it be allowed for cats ? it's a drug neh ?

23:07

people ABUSE their pets...

23:07

if cats paid taxes, catnip would be illegal

23:07

cats pay more taxes than most us dwellers.

23:07

any idea what a bag of catfood costs ?

23:07

lol

23:07

incidentally, yes

23:07

not to mention the shit trays and medical inspections.

23:07

in the town there i live, there is, theoretically, a tax on cats

23:07

nobody pays

23:08

i have one cat with protein allergies

23:08

so they all eat duck

23:08

afaik the russian inteligentsia of today is developing quite a crush on persian cultural achievements.

23:23

23:23

which achievements? classics? or this:

is your text also implying that a society which gives women fair play in the economy, ie females CEOs, equal pay, etc, is doomed the same?

23:40

actuially mostly female police seems to work wel lin columbia

23:40

Shakespeare yes. a democracy can never produce art. give the plebs the vote, you've ended painting, and music.

23:40

a society where women have a say in their reproductive history will produce a finite number of generations.

23:40

these aren't negotiable, in any manner.

23:41

hmm

23:41

people told 'female police force' picture 'ilsa, she-wolf of auschwitz' rather than the more likely office plankton girl next door stuffed into a uniform.

23:41

what if the women become self-aware in this way

23:41

what if i knew what the words you use mean.

23:41

and seek to institutionalize sifficient reproduction

23:41

sufficient*

23:41

but they wouldn't.

23:42

Shakespeare: scroll up for coin-operated public impregnatrons.

23:42

because they wouldnt care to

23:42

not exactly.

23:42

pass a law that the wind can not blow?

23:43

(2024: listed as 'S.POOJ.' ye read it here phirst.)

23:43

i do suppose the nature of male is still quite that it would seek to dominate

23:43

Shakespeare now, getting back to your original q, economic independence is not problematic, just as long as its not backed by legal independence.

23:43

this is why jooz mostly survived, and middle east models allow for stable populations.

23:44

places like cyprus say.

23:44

while the economy is in fact wholly controlled by matriarchs, nevertheless they have no legal rights.

23:44

and this whole perspective is more likely the more intellectual root of conservative americans concerns for the sancitity of the family?

23:45

sanctity*

23:45

it's an unclear intuition in their turbid heads of something that's factually there.

23:45

'intellectual root of conservative americans' concerns mainly the rust on their truck mufflers.

23:45

"if woman is not held slave to man, society ends".

23:46

this certainly adds much-needed depth to their behavior

23:46

yes.

23:46

because merely saying "these people are stupid" is rather poor sociology.

23:46

stupid they may well be.

23:46

but why stupid this way rather than that still needs to be explained.

23:46

same for being anti-gay i suppose

23:47

i have no idea why they'd be anti gay.

23:47

where will raping men get us

23:47

nowhere

23:47

i don't believe this works that far.

23:47

the romans were very openly pro-gay and worked just fine.

23:47

hmm

23:47

what men do to each other does not matter in any sense.

23:48

'no idea why they'd be anti gay' << same reason as in russia, as described by mr. o - 'As Prof. Cohen recently pointed out, prior to Americans' gay rights agitation, Russian gays used to be called faggots; now they are being called American faggots, and gay rights in Russia have taken a giant leap back.'

23:48

and this Garden movie, still required watching you think?

23:48

don't confuse anti-gay with protect marriage - the roman gay still married and had children

23:48

which garden movie ?

23:48

asciilifeform perhaps simple knee jerk "no no no no no no "

23:48

"Gardens of the Night (a 2008, also with John Malkovichiv) is yet another installment in that man’s awesome, ruefully complete, atrociously honest, blithely limpid discussion of the divine cunt. "

23:48

a yes.

23:49

it must be seen.

23:49

i hope netlflix has it

23:49

standard, ages-old algorithm. if you want to lower someone into bitchdom, take those he has himself lowered and forcibly lift them

23:49

one may discuss pedophilia either as an actual professional, having gone to proper school for it

23:49

thereby sitting him under domination of bitches

23:49

or else as an amateur, having at least seen that film.

23:49

(s/bitch/пидор for the linguistically non-challenged)

23:50

[MPEX] [S.MPOE] 26950 @ 0.00080354 = 21.6554 BTC [+] {2}

23:50

asciilifeform im not sure i follow the implication here.

23:50

this is a parsimonious hypothesis to explain american 'concern' for certain 'oppressed groups' worldwide

23:51

*

mircea_popescu does the ny hand jewsture.

23:51

mircea_popescu: see your piece on the forcible prevention of 'school bully'

23:51

and its actual motivations

23:51

same dynamic.

23:51

i dun believe it, tbh. they're "concerned" about gay rights for much simpler reasons,

23:51

which are purely economical.

23:52

ie : how do poor would-be "CEO"s create a rent extractive engine ?

23:52

why, by making an overseas ngo doing something like protecting gay rights.

23:52

freshly-uplifted 'bullied' folks can be relied upon as lackeys

23:52

now they get to travel, which excusesd them from owning a house,

23:52

and they can ask their rich friends for money

23:52

the line i feel the most, in the whole thing, is this: "If you can do anything it’ll be hard actually doing anything."

23:53

that cloud has hung over me many times in life

23:53

Shakespeare my mother had me at 21, which was a reasonable time to have a kid at the time, towards the end of one's secondary studies.

23:53

she was in a room with a 17yo and a 18yo girl.

23:53

doctor told her it's fucking late to have kids in your 20s and wtf is this bs.

23:54

those 17yos are still having kids today, except "it's a problem"

23:54

and those 20yos are now waiting to be 30.

23:54

indeed

23:54

and soon waiting to be 40

23:54

human female is really built for primiparity around the age of 18

23:55

17, something.

23:55

well, in usa 'adulthood' costs $1/2mil

23:55

at least in the 'white zone'

23:55

(elsewhere, $0, but it's academic to the afflicted)

23:55

asciilifeform i heartily recommend having the kids in egypt.

23:55

costs ~1 dollar a day, and it's a much better environment

23:56

or w/e, was, a decade ago. maybe meanwhile went to shit.

23:56

perhaps before it got ukrained.

23:56

yeah, this was cca 2004

23:56

okcjosh

whats the going consensus on the GHS futures at cex.io

23:56

okcjosh

?

23:56

it seems the more blurred this line between man and woman, the more discontent is bred

23:56

okcjosh you'll have to be more specific.

23:57

Shakespeare people often misrepresent their boredom and pointlessness as "discontent"

23:57

okcjosh

will it pay off? Right now a may GHS is around 33% the price of a live GHS. Does buying 3 times as many GHS for may have a good chance of paying out more, based on estimated Diff increase?

23:57

technical term, afaik, is 'ennui'

23:57

i see them being all one

23:57

goes well with balanced diet of 'anomie'

23:58
