Just try not to lick someone's boob.

Actually I was just in Cuba, where a very attractive blond girl let me bite a pineapple off her perfect nipple.  I did use my tongue while doing it. Wink

I wanted to thank everyone for your kind words.  I'm striving to be a level headed respected member of the society, nothing else.

Welcome back your spirit even when it was away was not forgotten ^^
Also that part above made me a bit jealous Damn You Vod Smiley
(Cuba sounds nice ^_^)
6502  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Man gets life in prison for selling $20 worth of weed to undercover cop on: March 03, 2015, 05:14:08 AM
Complete and utterly useless. A pointless imprisonment will now cost tax payers hundreds of thousands over his life time while he's sitting there for a non-violent crime. Completely uncalled for.

That and reading up more on the topic the justice they interviewed called it a great success having the mandatory minimums set up to catch these latent criminals and pile them all up to go to jail for life.
Because they were abandoned by the system itself and the justices never face the consequences for their actions

--
Winslow, a middle-aged black man with a “prolific criminal record,” is the program’s bread and butter. It’s people like him who Brown believes need to be “treated more seriously.” Just because they’re imprisoned for nonviolent offenses doesn’t mean they’re nonviolent people, he says. Smaller charges, with the help of mandatory minimum sentencing laws, give him the opportunity to lock people up for good.

Mumble this and shootings all over no wonder they riot.

Police Story

US police have shot and killed a homeless man during an altercation in central Los Angeles, in an incident caught on video.

The graphic film shows a violent struggle between the man and several officers in the city's Skid Row area.

Police say that three officers opened fire after the man tried to grab a gun from an officer.

Witnesses said the dead man was known as Africa and had been homeless after treatment for mental illness.

The LA police department said officers had been responding to reports of a robbery and had attempted to use a Taser to subdue the suspect but he had "continued fighting and resisting".

Video of actual incident:

All part of standard US policy to give even the untrustworthy police used military equipment

It just goes to show the difference between the rich and the poor
If your extremely poor they will find any excuse to keep you in there for life and off the streets.

Guys you really need to abort yourselves from this dead company, i did so about 4 months ago and things have been very wonderful since then. Please for the sake of your family and your own sanity, get out of this madness and move on. Its glorious.

It is tempting
Seeing how long it's been left hanging but its March best time to see what happens is now Smiley
6506  Other / Politics & Society / Germany is ready for the republication of Mein Kampf on: March 01, 2015, 10:14:02 AM
The book that was banned for nearly a century gets a release



Some of the biggest-selling books of all time are also the most unread. Who actually finished A Brief of History of Time? How many have read the Bible in its entirety? Or, for that matter, the Koran?

Mein Kampf fits easily into this category of blockbusting tomes whose spines have never been cracked. Dictated by Adolf Hitler to Rudolf Hess while the two men were imprisoned in Landsberg, in the wake of the Nazis’ failed coup in Munich in November 1923, Mein Kampf – which translates as “My Struggle” – would, over the next two decades, be bought or given to over 12 million Germans.

Some excerpts

 “The Judaization of our spiritual life and the mammonization of our mating impulse sooner or later befouls our entire new generation,” Hitler writes in his chapter on the causes of the German defeat in 1918, “for instead of vigorous children of natural feeling, only the miserable specimens of financial expedience come forth.”

Well that makes sense considering that their savings account had some of the lowest interest rates offered already.
Good old capital escape

I'm guessing you're single. When you want a girlfriend, use shampoo. Tongue

That was the best answer
It's to smell nice and attract others also for cleanliness in general Wink

Wow that is great news. He was huge on reddit dogecoin community. People followed him around like a cult. Always had a bad feeling about him.

Indeed, never tracked him myself but it's been a while since someone had a cult around them
Back to Trendon if I recall correctly although there might have been other people who were trusted that went and scammed i missed.
(Although MP is the only one that still has a nice cult but scam free ha-ha)

Anyways look forward to the court case updates let justice be served.
6510  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 02-22-2015 Bitcoin’s Market Share In Online Gambling Keeps Growing on: February 24, 2015, 09:54:32 AM
An increase from 0.1% to 0.2% is as good as nothing. Actually I am pretty disappointed at the level of Bitcoin adoption in the online gambling sector.

Well reading the article I didn't even notice till now that Seals With Clubs shut down suddenly that is a surprise
Agree with you though that that market share is tiny as heck and hardly worth a mention yet
When we see 1% then maybe it will start scaling but as it is that is a very small share, but a large market to grow into.
6511  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is too complex for the average person on: February 24, 2015, 09:47:34 AM
Anyone ever got the feeling that Bitcoin is too complex for the average person? The average person wants things as simple as possible, so when the word, Blockchain, Decentralization, etc, come into play, I feel that makes it too complicated for the average person to understand or even care.

Give it time, but to get to true mass adoption it is an issue that needs to be solved
Making it as easy as swiping a visa using your phone and loading money in and out without issue is the ideal
Still a ways away from doing that securely quickly and cheaply (Aka getting everyone to use it and scaling down costs)
But we are progressing to it just need more terminals like Stripe or Square Smiley

It has recently been reported that alleged Mintpal scammers Ryan Kennedy and Chelsea Hopkins have been arrested by authorities in the United Kingdom.


I'm happy that they caught some scammers for once and hope that they pay the time for doing the crime
Also hopefully for the coins to be recovered as well.

We are having an issue with picks.



Missed mine at + 2.75 to 3%
Otherwise think that was everyone or I missed a dupe

This looks interesting
I'll go with + 2.75 to + 3 for the difficulty increase
6514  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: wordpress removes bitcoin payment option on: February 24, 2015, 09:37:50 AM
Well there was an update to it looks like it will come back
Was worried there for a while as one of the first major bitcoin accepting services seeing it go full circle would concern me

"    We’re still big believers in Bitcoin, but we’re doing some major refactoring and streamlining of our checkout process right now and Bitcoin is lower in priority since it’s relatively low volume compared to our more traditional transaction options.

    We will definitely keep in mind adding Bitcoin support back in the future."

The crazy thoughts of people in this modern world.

And this is why we can't have nice things
But seriously this is a bit creepy by any standard logic
This is pushing the envelope a tad to far.

Bitcoin insurance is a reality, circle.com offers insurance.

elliptic VAULT also offers insurance.

True enough, although circle does fiat side as well so I guess it's not a big problem
Could also add in stripe and square since they both are insured but take bitcoin now
Never heard of elliptic vault but I'll need to check it out (ah did neat https://www.elliptic.co/vault)
