asciilifeform: that thing is glorious.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2016#1439792 doesn't that mean that a lot of people that have never showed up can affect #b-a voice
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2016 00:32:07; kakobrekla: that being said, i believe b-a should be self regulating and not depended on what mp or kako thinks, the solution, already in effect, is: the condition to self-voice is no longer L1>0 || L2>0 but instead L1 + L2 > 0, which also goes along the notion that lordship no longer exists. the power is your hands now, people.

nubbins`: lol.
nubbins`: this place really went full-rage overnight.
nubbins`: mp says
nubbins`: "KICK NUBS OUTTA HERE OR ELSE"
nubbins`: kako says no and tells mp he's a baby
nubbins`: just wanted to take this opportunity, while i can still self-voice, to let you all know that most of you are weeaboo basement-dwelling troglodytes and i respect very few of you
nubbins`: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2016#1439787 << this and following statements are tubo-lulzy.

nubbins`: not as lulzy as mp trying -- and failing -- to just ignore me
nubbins`: asciilifeform fwiw you now fall under the "people i no longer respect" category, have fun licking mp's toes
nubbins`: i hear they taste like the toes of a man so lazy and slothful that he thought his indigestion was pancreatic cancer
davout: nubbins`: seriously, is someone supposed to care about who you respect or not? does making a point really justify being obnoxious about it?
nubbins`: nope
nubbins`: i'd be surprised if any rational adult thought what internet-friendz thought of them
nubbins`: *cared what
davout: are you done?
nubbins`: hard to say. probably.
nubbins`: done with this festering shit-hole anyway
nubbins`: reeks like mp and hanbot in here
davout: do you care?
nubbins`: course not
nubbins`: just poking them both w/ stick
nubbins`: it's funny how mp spent the past X years in here being the biggest salty adult-baby he could, but then once someone else tries acting like an asshole towards mp, the entire place falls apart.
nubbins`: says a lot about the glue that held the place together
asciilifeform: nubbins`: fwiw you got my - because you refuse to quit shitting in the kitchen. i waited for weeks, thinking you would tire of it, but no dice. if you want to constructively nemesis mp, start a blog, ffs.
davout: nubbins`: you're not acting like an asshole to mp, you're acting like an asshole to everyone. let me know when you're done if you ever feel like getting !unrate'd

nubbins`: *cough*
nubbins`: asciilifeform this isn't a kitchen, it's an outhouse
nubbins`: it's just smelled like food for a while
davout: kakobrekla: ^ isn't it supposed to werk that way?
nubbins`: davout third time's a charm?
nubbins`: probably just a holdover in the code where a self-!upped person can't be !downed by someone else
davout: til a new expression
asciilifeform: nubbins`: your outhouse, my kitchen. which is why this.
nubbins`: asciilifeform your kitchen smells of poo :(
asciilifeform: nubbins`: no shit
nubbins`: actually, yes shit
nubbins`: reek streams in all the way from Bs.As.
nubbins`: note that without mp scamz0ring, i didn't have any other outstanding issues
nubbins`: aside from the general level of brown-nosing and illogic
nubbins`: but i'm more than okay with how this trade has worked out
davout: cool story lord
nubbins`: no lords, didn't ya get the message?
nubbins`: mp decreed
punkman: the lords are shit, the logs are shit, bitcoin is shit, trb is shit
davout: ugh, shit's becoming mainstream apparently
thestringpuller: tis a shit blizzard randy
asciilifeform: nubbins`: somehow you ended up stuck on 1 subj, which is why folks are trying to unplug ya. try starting a blog? i - will read it, fwiw.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2016 00:31:10; kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1439692 < and i actually suspect, given your recent reckless behaviour followed by destructive actions you have been compromised by that very same fiat system and are on a good way of dismantling the republic (simulate a world where mp admits a mistake and eats his own cooking and see how it compares to this)
davout: anyway, ttyl all
nubbins`: cheers
nubbins`: asciilifeform ^ that stmt from kako was directed towards.... me?
punkman: asciilifeform: talking about 1 subject, how about the mega-debate about stakes, twice a day
nubbins`: asciilifeform or... mp?
punkman: not that I endorse all of nubbins` trollin'
nubbins`: endorsement not necessary
nubbins`: doing this for me, not you :)
asciilifeform: punkman: which one, the one re whether stake gotta be thick vs thin? we only do that one biweekly!1111
punkman: oh it has been amusing at times nubbins`
nubbins`: thanks, i'd hoped so
nubbins`: god, how humiliating for mp. he explicitly ordered that i be banished and it didn't happen
asciilifeform: i enjoyed nubbins` 's b000kz. and wish he didn't insist on building his outhouse here.
nubbins`: asciilifeform we all gotta shit somewhere buddy
punkman: I guess not very amusing for the folks losing money
nubbins`: punkman well, that's why all the negrates
asciilifeform: ftr i lost 0
nubbins`: i as well
nubbins`: although my eternally-useless s.mg stock warrant will likely remain useless, i don't think my actions had any direct effect on that
punkman: hey s.mg was actually making some moneyz
nubbins`: overall i think i'm up about 20 btc from this place
asciilifeform: nubbins`: you could perhaps sell it?
nubbins`: asciilifeform unfortunately no. warrant sez.
thestringpuller: exercise the warrant and sell the stock?
punkman: you gotta put coin in to get the stock right?
nubbins`: "S.MG will not process or administer any assignments of this Warrant
nubbins`: by or among third parties. The administration of any such contracts
nubbins`: remains the sole responsibility of the respective parties involved."
nubbins`: thestringpuller lol, at a loss?!
thestringpuller: oh it'd be a loss?
nubbins`: punkman it's a warrant to purchase stock at a certain price
punkman: !t m s.mg

punkman: what's the price you got nubbins`?
thestringpuller: actually there are no bids
assbot: Eulora October update on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1RB1FJS )
thestringpuller: 906 bids at 9000 satosh then 2000 at 2500 satosh
nubbins`: 1.3x
nubbins`: thestringpuller surprised? :S
nubbins`: current state of eulora will be current state of eulora in 10 years
asciilifeform: i bet there's a chan. somewhere with pankkake, thickasthieves, et al. perhaps nubbins` will get invitation! it is, i suspect, an interesting place.
nubbins`: because mp doesn't want to build things, he wants to glue people to him
nubbins`: hence why he didn't just hire alf at a reasonable wage for a couple years
nubbins`: hence why eulora was a part-time project for 1 developer
nubbins`: y'know, the way "billionaires" build things.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: fella dun believe in wage labour, i actually did not think this was outrageous
nubbins`: glacially slow, entwining otherwise productive people in the process
nubbins`: asciilifeform the rate of progress on all mp projects is what's outrageous
nubbins`: you don't believe in gravity, you're still stuck to the floor, no?
asciilifeform: hey it worked for medieval cathedrals. but this is fair complaint. if you like speed, go to the races, not to me, i am the turtle.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: srsly i recommend, to blog. try it. you certainly have enough material, for once.
danielpbarron: asciilifeform, they have a voice chat thing
danielpbarron: and he has a blog, it just isn't used much
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: waiwut
asciilifeform: who has?
danielpbarron: TaT et al
danielpbarron: "whale club"
asciilifeform: lol,srsly?
danielpbarron: idk if pankakke is there
nubbins`: i don't have a blog
asciilifeform: nubbins`: start?
nubbins`: you may have mistaken madcaptomfoolery as my personal blog, judging by the fact that i noticed it on your "friends" links list the same day it was removed
nubbins`: but it's not
nubbins`: and i have no desire to start writing a blog
nubbins`: asciilifeform you know how much shit you're gonna catch from mp for saying my name this many times?
PeterL: mp only gets mad if asciilifeform says his name, not if he says your name
asciilifeform: nubbins`: l0l i dun know why you think this is about him. it is about how we log in and it is #nubbins
asciilifeform: this is why even the folks who thought nubbins` had a point, are pissed
nubbins`: PeterL oh, right
nubbins`: asciilifeform the people who /thought/ i had a point, hey?
nubbins`: i guess they're the sort of people who can disavow logic if the person spelling it out for them is annoying
nubbins` applauds
PeterL: nubbins` would you rather he used the present tense? the people who agree with your position do not like you repeating it over and over
nubbins`: i'd rather people say what they mean, yes
nubbins`: trouble with this place is you need to repeat yourself endlessly to cut through the echoes.
PeterL: everything is in the log, no need to repeat yourself
nubbins`: not everything; i did a great article write-up for qntra a couple weeks ago about how this bbet stuff was gonna cleave the lordship in half etc
nubbins`: bingo didn't publish it, likely to his chagrin
nubbins`: anyway, i sorta knew from the start that most people would just blithely ignore mp's wrongdoings. this is a chan where you can scam as long as you're "in the crew"
nubbins`: see TaT's PMB scam for reference
nubbins`: hell, see mpex's PMB scam for reference.
nubbins`: at the very least, it's heartwarming to see the actual people who actually do stuff (jurov, kako) seeing the light and calling out mp's shenanigans
nubbins`: i'll almost miss this place
davout: nubbins`: not like anyone'll insist on throwing you out if you simply cut the haet
davout: well, not necessarily the haet but its constant repetition
nubbins`: duod the next time i de-voice i can't re-voice
nubbins`: this is the finish line
nubbins`: i got negrated by too many fanbois
PeterL: does - in l2 superceed + in l1?
nubbins`: iirc the new rule is L1+L2 > 0
nubbins`: as of yesterday when mp tried to get kako to kick me out and kako said no
PeterL: people can still !up you though
nubbins`: sure, but zzzzz.
nubbins`: why would any self-respecting adult want to deal with that
davout: nubbins`: because people don't negrate because they're fanbois, they negrate because you behave like an obnoxious child
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 29200 @ 0.00044447 = 12.9785 BTC [+]
nubbins`: i have 5 negative ratings: 4 of them are from mp, hanbot, dpb, trinque.
nubbins`: you sure they don't do it because fanboi?
davout: i do not speak for others, mine is not.
davout: anyway, this is a waste of everyone's time, bbl.
PeterL: kakobrekla if nubbins` is still in L1, and rage negrates everybody -10, would that keep a bunch of people from self-voicing?
PeterL: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1439709 << heh, if lordship was seeded now, I might have made the cut?
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 23:43:30; mircea_popescu: and to be perfectly clear - it ~was~ my stupid fucking idea of seeding the lordship off the stats page on roughly the basis of activity that got us in this mess.
nubbins`: PeterL correct
nubbins`: the lordship list was never more than "a list of people mp felt were more-or-less beholden to his awesomeness"
PeterL: hmm, maybe I should not have said that where nubbins` could hear it? oops
nubbins`: besides, i don't think anyone who actually talks in here has so few + ratings that i could negrate them into silence
PeterL: me?
nubbins`: but i like you
PeterL: gee, thanks
nubbins`: fwiw, hey

nubbins` unsure if he should go to tvtropes, reddit, forum first
thestringpuller: lol ver is bragging his website loads > doherty threshold.
jurov: the last thing i need is to convince myself i see more light than $someone . was bitten too many times by that.
nubbins`: smart man
nubbins`: !up joesmoe
nubbins`: thestringpuller depends on the width of the tube, no?
nubbins`: !up Blazed
thestringpuller: nubbins`: doherty threshold is psychological. you are more likely to get distracted with another task if the computer doesn't respond under 400ms
thestringpuller: so bitcoin.com loading in 3.9 seconds is atrocious
nubbins`: sure.
nubbins`: but to an extend, that depends on my internet connection
nubbins`: *extent
nubbins`: all ver can control is the size of the pipes on HIS end.
thestringpuller: well the size of the load
thestringpuller: front page of qntra < 1MB
nubbins`: how long to load 1MB on, e.g., ISDN?

mircea_popescu: people new to the topic of how the democratic cancer spreads may just as well read orlov's last bit linked by alf, or any other of ten billion treatises on the topic.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you didn't miss much
fluffypony: sorry but the rule is you have to read the logs, no exceptions
fluffypony: otherwise you learn nothing and you're forever forced to wallow in your own ignorance
mircea_popescu: see asciilifeform tis not "the enemy!" that's having the most lulz. by and large such enemy is either too petrified to laugh for a decade+, or else if too dumb to be so petrified, also too dumb to see the humour. nah, most laughs are had by people doing other things, a la fluffy here. fine position to both appreciate the humour of it and remote enough to not go into seizures over it.

mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "seeing" loyalty. loyalty is always blind. when it's not blind it's called seeing your interest.
