in derpy consulting companyville, a small and attention-draining project has been completed and discharged which is *awesome*, for both the money and the cognitive bandwidth. we've an agreement in principle with another client to take more of a technical project management role, handling more of the coordination of roadmap + code production and moving the product along while the ceo feller focuses on sales and other higher-level |

right. then it becomes fashionable and before you know it the dumb broads in your household are giving pps to each other. and you can't do shit about it, because they're not your slaves, they're your "equal partners" |

In the Balance : Hispanic Population's Share of Wealth Likely to Increase by 2025 |
14:14 |
decimation |
The U.S.'s Hispanic population was about 50.5 million in 2010, representing 16.3 percent of the total population (Table 1).1 According to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances and its Financial Accounts of the United States, Hispanic families had about ... about 2.2 percent of total wealth ... In summary, we project the Hispanic share of total wealth to increase from 2.2 percent in 2010 to either 2.6 percent or 3.2 |
14:14 |

percent of the economy's total wealth by 2025 |

in cases like his, it is traditional for the inquisitor to make a series of offers to lighten punishment substantially in exchange for agent recruitment |

(aka turning stoolie) |
15:04 |
asciilifeform |
we can surmise that he refused one or more, but they aren't done yet |
15:05 |
asciilifeform |
so i don't see 'scared' - only 'patient.' |
15:06 |

if nothaus is cut loose, we should expect him to turn up eventually in the role of a karpeles or brock pierce. |

well I tend to agree with your point about recruitment, but it's not clear to me what he is going to be recruited to do exactly. |

now, if you're willing to live like a feral dog, it isn't even necessary to leave the country. i recall, a few years ago, an article about one fellow who lived in a dugout in a u.s. national park. for ~30 years. he was caught by pure chance. |

guy shooting hitler would necessarily live in an alt-universe where shooting hitler's death is not justified by hitler being hitler, and so on. |

this is a major reason to not punish murder, imo. |
15:57 |
mircea_popescu |
maybe the murderer had a point. |

certainly murder of political figures is always justified on the face. they were, after all, political figures. |

though she has popularity, without that crowd funding websites are pretty useless |
17:48 |
cazalla |
DreadKnight, someone like her doing bitcoin news on youtube would get views instead of that ditzy asian girl on followthecoin |
17:48 |
kuzetsa |
well-connected and good at marketing (social media or otherwise) is probably more to do with it than "the power of boobs" |
17:49 |
DreadKnight |
cazalla, considered doing something like that with a chick I know that looks like the Dark Queen from Battletoads; got equipment and such |
17:49 |

will check the asian girl you mentioned |
17:49 |

equipment? |

speaking of annoying, I've never seen a "follow the coin" video before |

how about miss hannah minx? |
17:54 |

cazalla, lol; there's also "hot for words", another youtube show about cleavage pretending to be educational |
17:54 |
kuzetsa |
not sure it's always the same person, but I jsut watched the one cazalla linked like 5 minutes ago, and the constant jumping-around shot from 20 billion camera angles per paragraph was giving me a headache |

18:06 |
kuzetsa |
[18:01:35] <cazalla> no matter how many men you throw under the bus, being a feminist is not going to lead to them fucking you |
18:06 |
kuzetsa |
[18:01:59] <kuzetsa> what? |
18:06 |
kuzetsa |
[18:02:42] <kuzetsa> huh, noticed just now that I typoed on feminist... is "faminist" a word I'm just unfamiliar with? |
18:06 |
kuzetsa |
[18:03:14] <kuzetsa> is that misspelling a word and it means something? it really was just a typo, I didn't mean to confuse. |
18:07 |
mircea_popescu |
<DreadKnight> cazalla, why? xD she thinks she can do better writing crappy stuff and getting funded on patreon.com apparently << such idiocy. |
18:07 |
cazalla |
kuzetsa, i'm not sure what the problem is? |
18:07 |
DreadKnight |
mircea_popescu, was expecting you would say that |
18:08 |
kuzetsa |
cazalla: well I don't understand what you're saying about men fucking me (or not) because I throw them under a bus or whatever... or why you called me a faggot |
18:09 |
cazalla |
kuzetsa, i thought you were saying you're a feminist and that i use slut shaming language |
18:09 |
cazalla |
fwiw, i don't object to nikasaur dressing trashy |
18:09 |
kuzetsa |
your definition of "trashy", and how you used it sure did sound like slut shaming |
18:09 |
cazalla |
but it is trashy |
18:10 |
DreadKnight |
mircea_popescu, most people only care about charisma and looks and that's why they fund her, not really interested in her writing; it's nice she does what she likes but that's different from what she's good at apparently |
18:10 |
DreadKnight |
mircea_popescu, saying "such idiocy" to whatever I say without arguments doesn't bring much to the table of conversation |
18:11 |
kuzetsa |
cazalla: mostly I'm just confused about why feminism = faggot (that logical jump confuses me) |

mircea_popescu, you're probably offended because you're a blogger yourself, but since you started blogging apparently you flamed more popular bloggers, so even you agree that not everyone should be writing stuff publicly :P |
18:11 |
benkay |
excessive rouge, lipstick, heels, etc. it's a good look on the right chick. |
18:12 |
DreadKnight |
and tattoos |
18:12 |
benkay |
yeah sure - tattoos are great as well |
18:12 |
kuzetsa |
benkay: a lot of women chose to dress how they dress, wear their hair, makeup, tatoos, clothes, etc. for themselves, not for the benefit of others |
18:12 |
cazalla |
yeah, i like it on the right girl but i describe it as trashy, nfi why kuzetsa would take offense |
18:12 |
benkay |
it's clearly not for others. |
18:12 |
benkay |
doesn't mean we're not watching and watched ourselves. |
18:13 |
benkay |
i do a pile of sales. constantly. *i* dress for others. |

when I didn't, I didn't. |

ripped jeans, mohawk, the works. |
18:13 |

kuzetsa, because imo feminists are faggots eg andreas derpopolous |
18:14 |
kuzetsa |
choices about outwardly expressing whatever self-image one has about ones self (and/or other reasons for dressing one way or another) just doesn't seem like a friendly thing to use as a basis for labeling someone as "trashy" |
18:14 |
DreadKnight |
internet is full of porn, girls who undress on webcam; dressing slutty = more attention; ( . ) ( . ) = $$$ |
18:14 |
benkay |
look there's a hobo on the street |
18:14 |
benkay |
he's clearly not dressing for anyone |
18:14 |
benkay |
and he's also clearly trashy |
18:15 |
benkay |
ofc my definition of such is going to differ from someone else's |
18:15 |
mircea_popescu |
DreadKnight i have nfi who this is. pics ? |
18:15 |
benkay |
but i'll not be told to not speak my opinion of stuff. |
18:15 |
mircea_popescu |
and in any case, i'm not offended. |
18:16 |
mircea_popescu |
<benkay> excessive rouge, lipstick, heels, etc. it's a good look on the right chick. << for sufficiently drunk guys :D |
18:16 |
DreadKnight |
mircea_popescu, I linked near the quoted line, anyway seems you're too distracted to follow the conversation or reply overall, while others are debating about such women |
18:16 |
kuzetsa |
I personally don't feel "trash" or "trashy" is a good way to refer to persons --- trash is refuse, waste, compost, scrap, things to be recycled, or a computer metaphor for marking something as "trash" to be staged for deletion (such as putting one's unwanted spam emails in the trash) |
18:16 |
mircea_popescu |
kuzetsa so how does the logical jump work, from that to "not a good way to refer" ? |
18:17 |

kuzetsa: ever met a girl who gets off on being degraded? |
18:17 |
mircea_popescu |
DreadKnight just some random chick, i don't see anything special about her. why's she discussed in terms of hotness or wtf. |
18:18 |
mircea_popescu |
kuzetsa of course it is. so ? |
18:18 |
kuzetsa |
mircea_popescu: ...(oops, erroneously inserted a linebreak) "trash", or "trashy" is degrading to their personhood |
18:18 |
mircea_popescu |
no, it's not. it merely claims to be. which, like all claims... |
18:19 |
mircea_popescu |
saying someone's a scammer is similarly degrading to their personhood. that's no reason not to say it. |
18:19 |
kuzetsa |
mircea_popescu: to say that a person is trash is to liken that person to being a disposable, unwanted, low-value thing, not a person |
18:19 |
mircea_popescu |
yup. |
18:19 |
mircea_popescu |
the only criterion is whether she actually is trashy, not whether her being trashy'd ruin whatever for her. |
18:19 |
DreadKnight |
mircea_popescu, others find her special and hot, especially being nerdy gamer; I usually don't get why Megan Fox has many fans, but that's me |
18:20 |

DreadKnight anyway, the "idiocy" comment was re the patreon thing. the whole thing fundamentally doesn't work. |
18:21 |
mircea_popescu |
people would really like it to work nevertheless, so every few years there's a new implementation |
18:21 |

mircea_popescu, for me she's just a tunned up bitch, just seen some of her roles earlier and she was playing the bitch role actually |

18:22 |
DreadKnight |
mircea_popescu, thought you meant my argument because you didn't said much, I agree about patreon not working unless you're popular, it's a wanna be kickstarter basically, but lacks a few important things |
18:22 |
kuzetsa |
sexy_saffron: yeah, "trash" conversation, in which my main objection is to degrading / defamatory / judgemental language being pointed at people due to clothing, hairstyle, personality, makeup, or whatever criterea is being used to target them in a dismissive manner :( |
18:22 |
sexy_saffron |
ok |
18:23 |
kuzetsa |
I wasn't intending to have the conversation publicly, but the other party whom I was trying to ask what they meant decided the privmsg contents should be copied onto a pastebin and shared with the whole channel |
18:23 |
mircea_popescu |
people should be targeted in a dismissive manner. builds character. |
18:23 |

I agree |

honesty is cruel sometimes |

kuzetsa, no reason for that conversation to occur in PM to begin with |

mircea_popescu, so you poked that zoso guy on purpose to get in the spot light? marketing strategy? |
18:25 |

this topic is apparently one which a lot of people are wanting to comment on |

is there some kind of internet etiquette insisting on politeness? i didnt check that box on install. |
18:25 |

18:25 |
kuzetsa |
FWIW, the privmsg was in-part because the channel was kinda intense and I was having trouble filtering through this many words per minute |
18:25 |
HeySteve |
kuzetsa, if you dress / act a certain way, you'll inevitably draw a reaction from others |
18:26 |
mircea_popescu |
kuzetsa it gets nuts doesn't it. and it has the harshest voice model of any chan on freenode, too. |
18:26 |
mircea_popescu |
no idea what we'll end up doing, because it won't let go im sure. |
18:26 |
kuzetsa |
HeySteve: the "had it coming" defense about agressing on somebody verbally or otherwise, to their face or otherwise isn't one I consider to be valid |
18:26 |
mircea_popescu |
on the grounds of what ? |
18:26 |
sexy_saffron |
I think the best philosophy is to just stay true to yourself and not care what other people think, as cliche as that sounds |
18:26 |
HeySteve |
kuzetsa, learning to evoke a positive reaction with your appearance / manner is just social intelligence |
18:27 |
mircea_popescu |
sexy_saffron got it. |

hah hah - HeySteve right at the beginning, and it's already classic - I wanted to do a movie that would give the people that took LSD at that time the hallucinations that you get with that drug, but without hallucinating. I did not want LSD to be taken, I wanted to fabricate the drug's effect." |
18:27 |
DreadKnight |
mircea_popescu, he had a few arguments against you that could stand valid, but overall it felt like he was trying to protect his "#1 blogger by traffic" crown by trying to dis the new competition |

HeySteve, ha, I kept telling people that, especially as advice to avoid online insults or even rape, but a lot of people insist in "I can dress the way I want, nobody should care; the raper is always the guilty one!", so I'm like "ok, good luck with that mentality" |

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Yaoi | Yaoi is a slang meaning 'boys love' or homosexuality that is used in the japanese language. Popular with fangirls who like their favorite anime guy... |
18:32 |
HeySteve |
kuzetsa not a sword fight? |
18:32 |
cazalla |
i don't understand why it is homoerotic though, my understanding it's meaning is that a woman does not have the power to influence online as she does irl |
18:32 |
mircea_popescu |
ah ok. |
18:33 |
mircea_popescu |
cazalla now that's nonsense. |
18:33 |
kuzetsa |
wow, that urban dictionary thing is pretty accurate |
18:33 |
mircea_popescu |
now lessee if i can get caught up on this monsterlog jeez/ |
18:33 |
kuzetsa |
I've totally done the fangirl thing thinking of male characters romantically / physically involved with each other <I'll spare you the fanfic I may or may not have read or written> |
18:33 |
sexy_saffron |
I don't think gender has much to do with influence on the internet |
18:33 |
sexy_saffron |
on the internet, no one knows you're a dog |
18:34 |
benkay |
but here, we all sort of know each other fairly well. |
18:34 |
cazalla |
sexy_saffron, clearly you've never had a woman join your guild, demand officer status, demand items while using cybering to attain that from idiots who allowed her to destroy said guild with drama |
18:34 |
mircea_popescu |
kuzetsa hey, what do you do for a living ? |
18:34 |
kuzetsa |
good job, urban dictionary, that's totally what I meant by yaoi :) |
18:34 |

sexy_saffron, talk was mainly started by chicks popular on youtube mainly thanks to cleavage |
18:34 |
sexy_saffron |
ah, well there is that lol |
18:34 |
mircea_popescu |
cazalla no, actually, i had that lol. didn't really do much. |
18:35 |
kuzetsa |
mircea_popescu: retired, technically |
18:35 |
sexy_saffron |
idk, I just think people can be shitty regardless of gender |
18:35 |
mircea_popescu |
kuzetsa im looking for someone to cover the countless anime forums on the web, if you're looking for work. |
18:35 |
cazalla |
mircea_popescu, happened to me in EQ, guild leader's wife joins, she start cybering the teenage boys which undermines his authority, it all went to shit after that |
18:35 |
mircea_popescu |
sexy_saffron women can't be as shitty as men because they're inferior and all. |
18:35 |
sexy_saffron |
lol |
18:36 |
mircea_popescu |
cazalla so she's a great troll. why hate the playa ? |
18:36 |
kuzetsa |
sexy_saffron: yeah, people being unpleasant (shitty, whatever) doesn't have a strong correlation to any particular gender, race, religion, age, nationality, etc. |
18:36 |
mircea_popescu |
if i were a wife upset over matrimonial neglect i'd do the exact same thing. |
18:36 |
mircea_popescu |
only perhaps better. |
18:36 |
mircea_popescu |
kuzetsa age ? what, you kidding me ? |
18:36 |
mircea_popescu |
annyoing teenaged boys are a category. |
18:36 |
kuzetsa |
no, I'm not kidding about being retired |
18:37 |
cazalla |
kuzetsa, retired or on disability due to feminist issues such as gender dysmorphia, anxiety or other made up shit? |
18:37 |
mircea_popescu |
i meant the correlation with age. of course it correlates with gender and age, god help you with 16yo boyz. |
18:37 |
mircea_popescu |
lol this guy's got a scoring table all prepared. |
18:38 |
kuzetsa |
I still do a bit of consulting / contract work now and then though, as well as some speculation with bitcoin and such |
18:38 |
fats_cd03 |
'and such' being? |
18:39 |
mircea_popescu |
DreadKnight: anyway, 1600$+ a month just because; for writing; that's like 3 romanian full time jobs; I got 0 on there so far <<< you know 20k a year is basically unemployment benefits. it doesn't really register as a fortune on anyone's radar. people like asciilifeform make many times that and essentially count themselves as paupers. |
18:39 |
kuzetsa |
fats_cd03: generally, this time, specifically, I probably meant the sorts of things which are often used as a basis for stereotypes or discrimination |
18:39 |
kuzetsa |
I could have instead said "or whatever" but "and such" seemed like a fun word choice this time |
18:40 |

kuzetsa loads that substitition into the spintex content generation engine |

"male-bodied persons" left me with quite a room for interpretation xD |

I agree, meaning is like the sculpture within the marble, you have to chip away all the extraneous stuff |

kuzetsa ironically, that notion got expressed in broken english. |
19:03 |

jurov: some people don't self-identify as "men" despite having the legal (and presumably, medical) status of a male person... I've had a lot of friends who don't have a strong sense of gender in their self-identification. |

"Woe to him whom Ishtar had honoured! The fickle goddess treated her passing lovers cruelly, and the unhappy wretches usually paid dearly for the favours heaped on them. Animals, enslaved by love, lost their native vigour: they fell into traps laid by men or were domesticated by them. 'Thou has loved the lion, mighty in strength', says the hero Gilgamesh to Ishtar, 'and thou hast dug for him seven and seven pits! Thou |

F gets 100 btc in cash, issues 50 btc worth of f.a shares and 50 btc worth of f.b shares. 10 btc of each sells. |

100 of which is equity of shareholders, 20 is provisions. |
20:14 |
mircea_popescu |
f.a croaks. f.b now has the same 120 in cash, but equity moves : 110 shareholders, 10 provisions. leaving a nav gain of 10. |
20:14 |
mircea_popescu |
f.b lists, the f section thereof being worth 30 btc. |
20:14 |
mircea_popescu |
f now has 90 in cash, and nav dropped 20 from last, and 10 lifetime. |
20:14 |

21:17 |
DreadKnight |
kuzetsa, are you into that sort of science as well? :D |
21:17 |
kuzetsa |
DreadKnight: ah, fair enough -- I thought sapiosexual was an ok word for my own preferences until I realized the extra fancy term: "panromantic demisexual" was a much more accurate thing in my case (as far as labels go) |
21:18 |
kuzetsa |
DreadKnight: which science? |
21:18 |
DreadKnight |
means attracted by intelligence basically |
21:18 |
DreadKnight |
kuzetsa, I was quoting you :D |
21:18 |
benkay |
so uh for the retards in the room what precisely are your inclinations, kuzetsa ? |
21:19 |
benkay |
panromantic demisexual |
21:19 |
kuzetsa |
benkay: uhhh |
21:19 |
benkay |
demi - not really into sex? |
21:19 |
kuzetsa |
oh |

panromantic - lover of all? |

kuzetsa |
as far as romantic relationships are concerned, physicallity is something I neither object to nor expect |
21:20 |
DreadKnight |
nice |
21:20 |
kuzetsa |
or is it spelled physicality? |
21:20 |
DreadKnight |
I get the idea, also googled a bit |
21:21 |
kuzetsa |
benkay: yeah, all -- in the sense of there not being any particular body type or sexual or gender identity I find to be a dealbreaker |
21:21 |
kuzetsa |
"it's all good" |

21:22 |
benkay |
kuzetsa: typically people focus more on the kinds of folks they want around rather than the kinds of folks they find objectionable |
21:22 |
kuzetsa |
DreadKnight: isn't the cancer astrological sign the one that looks like a 69? |
21:22 |
DreadKnight |
cazalla, so far I don't have kids, so that basically lowers population by itself if doing the math |
21:22 |
cazalla |
DreadKnight, but if you're so smart, surely makes sense to have kids then |
21:23 |
benkay |
cazalla: that raises an interesting question. why'd you choose to have kids? |
21:23 |
cazalla |
benkay, because i thought i was going to die |
21:23 |
cazalla |
i still am, perhaps just not as soon |
21:23 |
DreadKnight |
cazalla, maybe eventually, but it's not a must, need other things first |
21:24 |
benkay |
what was the timeframe when you made the call? |
21:24 |
cazalla |
benkay, as it turns out, i had pretty bad sinus infection |
21:25 |
DreadKnight |
cazalla, anyway, plenty of kids made and abandoned, it would be smarter to adopt one then make a new one just because imo |
21:25 |
benkay |
instead of what, cancer? |
21:25 |
benkay |
DreadKnight: gotta start from a known-good state. |
21:25 |
cazalla |
yeah plus list of other shit i googled, doctor didn't really help much |
21:25 |
cazalla |
benkay, obviously wasn't the sole reason but thinking i was going to die sooner than later, seemed like a good idea to have a kid |
21:26 |
DreadKnight |
xD |
21:26 |
benkay |
DreadKnight: this is the kind of advice that ruins people's lives: "go adopt a rescue animal for your first dog! you'll have no idea what it's suffered through or how trainable it is! think of the poor dogs!" |
21:26 |
benkay |
mnope nope nope nope nope |
21:26 |
benkay |
if you've never trained a dog, set both of yourselves up for success. |
21:26 |
cazalla |
DreadKnight, why would you adopt a kid, spend money on it when it's not even yours? |
21:26 |
benkay |
'cause you're a hairshirt ecofreak. |
21:27 |
cazalla |
a million other kids can starve for all i care |
21:27 |
DreadKnight |
benkay, personally I think pets will pretty much disappear in favor of robots soon, but that's just me; anyway, jumping from humans to pets is quite a leap |
21:27 |
benkay |
wat |
21:27 |
benkay |
son you're crazy |
21:28 |
DreadKnight |
cazalla, we're all the same matter and it's not like I don't have physical weaknesses, same applies for my potential mate |
21:28 |
benkay |
do you have a pet, children, or any sort of long term human companion, DreadKnight ? |
21:28 |
cazalla |
DreadKnight, why not just have a friend come over and fuck your wife and raise that baby? i don't see the difference in that and adopting tbh |
21:29 |
DreadKnight |
benkay, said before I don't have children; had a few pets when I was younger; avoiding human companion atm |
21:29 |
benkay |
k you're disqualified from opining on relationships until you address all the above |
21:29 |
DreadKnight |
cazalla, adopting is when you take something already made that most likely has a shitty future; friend coming to fuck your wise is still making something brand new ;) |
21:30 |
DreadKnight |
benkay, your disqualification is invalid to me |
21:30 |
DreadKnight |
it's not like everybody needs to make a kid |
21:31 |
DreadKnight |
just to spread along some genes |
21:31 |
cazalla |
doesn't the urge to fuck come from that though |
21:32 |
DreadKnight |
I said I'm sapiosexual |
21:32 |
DreadKnight |
I'm not all about sex |
21:32 |
cazalla |
people who say that probably have small dicks |
21:32 |
benkay |
lol meaning you disqualify yourself from finding mates because they're stupid so you don't actually have to try to get laid |
21:33 |
DreadKnight |
cazalla, I'm doing really well in that field actually |
21:33 |
DreadKnight |
benkay, I'm not disqualifying myself, I like artsy chicks usually and single ones are pretty rare around |
21:33 |
cazalla |
why are you attracted to smart women DreadKnight? my wife is dumb as rock and that's how i like it |
21:34 |
DreadKnight |
haha |
21:34 |
DreadKnight |
why were you attracted to your wife? good looks? character/charisma? supportive? |
21:34 |
benkay |
cazalla needs to feel superior |
21:34 |
DreadKnight |
seems so |
21:35 |
cazalla |
not i'm just being honest |
21:35 |
cazalla |
no* |
21:35 |
cazalla |
DreadKnight, because she's loving, friendly, well natured, modest, prefers to do her craftwork, lampworking etc in her spare time instead of going out getting drunk |
21:36 |
cazalla |
plus that big ass |
21:36 |
mircea_popescu |
<DreadKnight> they seem to have knee protection, so probably walked in 4 limbs for quite a bit << yeah bursitis is no fun |
21:36 |
DreadKnight |
I'm attracted to smart women because they feel less like robots/animals, in the sense they're not all about sex / shopping / make-up; and if they even have an artistic side, like drawing, then even better :3 |
21:37 |
mircea_popescu |

21:38 |

<cazalla> benkay, because i thought i was going to die << so what, something like "eh fuck the world, im dieing anyway" ? |
21:38 |
cazalla |
DreadKnight, well you should see these ones, full of milk, doubled in size :) |
21:39 |
DreadKnight |
cazalla, the thing is that around here in this city, there's a really nasty stereotype of girls, "pitzipoanca", basically a club barbie doll that's so not my type |
21:39 |
cazalla |
mircea_popescu, well yeah, if i'm honest that was part of it |
21:40 |
mircea_popescu |
<benkay> son you're crazy <<< wasn't that mocsny fellow derping the same derpage in the 90s ? o, soon sex robots!!1 |
21:40 |

cazalla, pitzipoanca is usually smoking, has a lot of dresses, make-up, talks all the time on expensive latest iphone, goes clubbing all the time, listens only to music like house or manele (gypsy crap) |
21:40 |

21:45 |
DreadKnight |
mircea_popescu, compared to other types, artsy chicks are fewer, so more difficulty in getting one |
21:45 |
benkay |
DreadKnight: that's a geography problem |
21:46 |
cazalla |
DreadKnight, you see artsy as smart, i see it as dumb, we probably like the same women |
21:47 |
DreadKnight |
so a girl who makes 3d characters is dumb, while one that only smokes and drinks is better? xD |
21:47 |
benkay |
til that dumb has nothing to do with intelligence in aus |
21:49 |

basically, anyone who's to the left of, being in favour of the release of serbs in medieval germany/russia could count as a libertard, depending how the conversation turns. |

so to clarify, are you referring to things vaguely on the side of "social left" = libertard? |
22:08 |

I find it sad when I see people who want to make money from IT but they just don't focus on properly learning english first |

decimation, computer science; basically talking about components and crap; most of the time leaving students to spend time on the internet as they wish while he's getting paid anyway |

mircea_popescu: come to think of it, I think it was actually you who originally posted that in a bitcoin channel a couple years ago |
23:21 |
DreadKnight |
kuzetsa, we need a new plague |
23:21 |
decimation |
yeah it seems english has become the lingua franca of that kind of work |
23:21 |
kuzetsa |
DreadKnight: plague? |
23:22 |
kuzetsa |
who needs a plague... the creatures of earth? how big a plague? global pandemic? regional outbreak? |
23:22 |
mircea_popescu |

23:23 |
mircea_popescu |

I saw a game I've been meaning to try out which simulates biological attacks on the planet (earth, or some other... don't recall) or something |

decimation, ex-gf bugged me a lot to teach her web design / coding so that she can make a lot of money easily; she fails at english and she's not passionate or smart enough; and people around said I'm against finding a companion and rather set high standards xD |
23:23 |

mircea_popescu: how old school "that" is ... which "that" are you referring to? |
23:24 |

kuzetsa, "we need a new plague" is from "The office" show, it's basically a meme now, google it |
23:25 |
kuzetsa |
oh |
23:25 |
kuzetsa |
I've seen the office (both the UK and american variant) |
23:25 |
DreadKnight |
tried to watch UK one as well, simply stopped. |

mircea_popescu, did you went to college yourself? it's a bit of a trend now apparently for people in IT set on becoming rich |
23:28 |
DreadKnight |
kuzetsa, meant google image search |
23:29 |
DreadKnight |
kuzetsa, guess it's the movie you mentioned |
23:29 |
kuzetsa |
DreadKnight: movie? |
23:29 |
kuzetsa |

[23:23:25] <+kuzetsa> I saw a game I've been meaning to try out which simulates biological attacks on the planet (earth, or some other... don't recall) or something |

"plague inc." is a game, not a movie |
23:30 |
DreadKnight |
yeah yeah |
23:31 |
DreadKnight |
seems interesting |
23:32 |
kuzetsa |
that's a trailer for the PC / console version, it was originally a smartphone/tablet app |
23:32 |
DreadKnight |
most smartphone/tablet games are jokes |
23:33 |
kuzetsa |
I got a lot of fun out of fruit ninja and angry birds before I was sick of them |

free-to-play applied horribly mostly, other times people trying to make a quick buck with minimum amount of work |
