Idk, selling the bottom sounds pretty legacy to me.

What if I wanted to be fitter than everybody else?

If I have to spell it out I won't feel funny anymore.

Also partially curious to read about some Roach fantasies regarding this. Something like Jews throwing the world into disarray by indirectly increasing human population to unsustainable levels. How dare they cure cancer.

Is this shit for real? Fucking jews.

Didn't expect someone to actually know them on here. Coincidentally, Crumbling Castle was playing at one of the university cafes, which is how I learned about them.

Have you listened to any of their other albums that you can recommend? Seems like they've been pretty busy with five albums in just 2017.

Prog was the first/only thing I could think of due to the odd time signatures, but yeah it's definitely far more simple than stuff like Supper's Ready or Close To The Edge. Not really aware of any psych rock, so that didn't cross my mind.

Thanks, glad you like it.



Aren't most people convinced of a dystopian future? Replacing the dollar and possibly a technological singularity sound like at least a quasi-utopia to me though.

Going to take this opportunity to shill two prog rock albums in case anyone here is into that. Both are actually from 2017 as opposed to the 1970s though.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Flying Microtonal Banana
As the name suggests, this one is microtonal, e.g. using notes that aren't represented on traditional chromatic 12-note scales.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland
This one isn't, but still good.

"Edit:"

This one point I'll clear up.

I originally stated that people who don't work on improving their own situation and choose to complain instead don't deserve better. The reason for this is that they've given up on themselves by choosing to complain, and thus can't possibly expect things to magically improve. Basically a you reap what you sow argument.

This has nothing to do with advocating on behalf of others, as complaining is not equivalent to advocating and "on behalf of others" is not equivalent to "complaining about your own situation instead of working on it".

Do I wish everyone (who isn't an outright twat that is out to hurt people) the best even if they don't deserve it? Sure. Is that mutually exclusive? No. People who don't work on their own situation don't deserve better because they aren't trying themselves.
Doesn't mean that they can't or shouldn't have it better or that people can't or shouldn't help others. All of that nonsense was made up by random people on this thread.

My argument would appear more well made if you didn't cherry pick from a single post at the end of a lengthy exchange, not that I expect you to dig through the thread to get the whole picture if you didn't catch the original exchange a few days ago.

I never compared anyone directly to Hitler by the way (which should be obvious even without former context given that nobody calls people Hitler and a Jew in the scenarios you draw from), so I'll kindly excuse myself from responding to your post in detail, as it shows a clear lack of understanding of the matter at hand.

I never noticed that Takeaway took an extra 6% for Paypal/CC. Been using them for a while with and without BTC though.

As a kid I just didn't care for politics because I didn't know shit anyways so had no way of forming a sensible opinion. Now the more I learn about it the more it reveals itself as a farce. Little more than tribalism in a new form. Or opium for the masses v2.

It's entertaining, but whoever thinks that real change is made in politics hasn't been paying much attention.

This was true for pre-Bitcoin investments as well. For small amounts it might be more sensible to make high risk investments (and then re-balance a sensible portfolio) than to wait for pennies to accumulate in stocks.


Of course, with substantial wealth, it would be foolish to not diversify properly (without some insider knowledge).

Nothing wrong with going "all in", even with your entire portfolio in some cases.

A student, or generally young person, can be well advised to go all in on asymmetrical bets such as Bitcoin. In most cases they don't have much to lose anyways, yet all the time in the world to recoup losses.

Also, for smaller investments the traditional ~5-8% p.a. returns in the stock market wouldn't even amount to a Kitkat.

I am not dismissive of others' views whatsoever. In this case people were constantly misrepresenting my words either through stupidity, laziness, or by deliberation.

You can try to show me at what point my quote becomes political, however, you will fail to do so without adding extra information that wasn't present in my words. Politics have nothing to do with this statement whatsoever, yet some people here are so caught up in political bullshit that they try to make everything so, and then argue from that position.

I treat people with the respect they deserve, and when they make my unpolitical statements political or make up arguments on my behalf and then try to write me off as evil I will react accordingly. Not because I care about their opinion, but because people who are too emotional or even stupid to realize their hypocrisy by themselves need to be shut down with their own weapons. Otherwise they clearly don't get it (as proven by the lengthy and multiple posts that I've made elaborating on their fallacies).

I don't even particularly care if the perpetrators in this case understand what the fuck they're doing. But some of the, possibly lurking, readers might find something they've missed previously. Such as dumb fucks making up arguments deliberately or for any other reasons on behalf of others and then either genuinely believing that they're doing something good, or acting as if they were. This is without a doubt the worst human quality plaguing society. Because real evil is often obvious when you see it, and is much easier to fight against than idiots who act nice and in reality just fuck everyone, including themselves, over.

Some of the issues described here (manipulation, omission, laziness, dishonesty) are used in Politics to manipulate, but they're fundamentally human errors and not political issues. If you see Politics in this that's on you, not on the content of my post.


At the end of the day people, made an unpolitical post political by making up random horseshit scenarios that didn't even fit my statement in any shape or form beyond sharing a word or two. But by that line of reasoning you're all Hitler and Jews.
Not sure why it takes a roman to point out what should be obvious: Don't twist people's words if you're going to bother engaging in a conversation (of course unless you have some weird ulterior motives, then good luck with that).


tl;dr

+1 WO

I strongly believe global education systems are one of the root causes of this pandemic.

People get drilled into thinking in terms of "right vs wrong" and "the correct way to pass a test" from a very young age. And then they argue that way in real life (e.g. parrot talking points they perceive as correct) instead of listening and looking for real solutions.

Isn't it actually possible to send messages on-chain? And didn't Satoshi do just that? Or how do signatures work?


Would that be a potential attack vector? One Billion people sending just 1 kB of text would already be 1 TB worth of data. Do transaction fees just nullify that threat (if it exists in the first place)?

Is this anti-wall or pro-WallStreet (#2)?

Are you equating immigrants to corrupt bankers and legacy finance and implying that much more drastic measures (such as war) are required to keep them at bay? You sick fucking Bitcoin maximalists seriously want to kill all immigrants just to make sure legacy finance won't succeed?




(Wouldn't normally do this, but since some people here like to make everything retarded and political, here's a mirror for that specific subset of people that like to twist everything beyond recognition.)

Is that a fact? Never uploaded anything on here because I was too lazy to bother with exif.

Illiteracy is far too rampant for 2019.

"Spending time on complaining that could have been spent on finding incremental solutions is retarded/unproductive."

Last paraphrasing I'll do on this. Good luck with your blindfold if you still (apparently choose to not) get it though.


Spoilers: Advocating is not complaining. And slaves can't advocate for themselves if they're captive, so even attempting to make that argument proves that you didn't understand mine in the first place and were simply looking to make unpolitical life advice political. @HM

My words would never reap repercussions if you weren't 100% illiterate.
I've stated a fact, if you use your own time on complaining about your situation instead of trying to improve it you will be in a worse situation than you would be otherwise. That's a simple and immutable fact. No arguing about it.

There are only repercussions if people like you or HM come along and make up different arguments on my behalf, which I have never made, and then try to portrait me as their own mental delusion.

You are either intellectually dishonest (didn't properly read and understand what has been said and filled the gaps with your own story, then refuse to accept the fact that you have done so), too mentally impaired to understand what I've said, or plain evil and a manipulator.

The argument that I've made has nothing to do with anything that you or HM made up when arguing back. You idiots are making up points of your own and pretending that they were mine.

Also, the only repercussions will be that you will be in a worse place in the future, as well as everybody who you claim to be trying to help. Your attitude is the precise and sole root of all problems in this world, regardless of which of the three reasons is responsible for your acts of twisting truth. You don't care about listening, you only care about making up arguments on other people's behalf and then pretending that you're the "good guy" by arguing against your own fairy tales. There will be no repercussions for me, because I understand very well that the overwhelming majority is evil, delusional, ego-tripping, or just plain retarded. If you however, act in real life as you do on here, you'll be the one eating shit when it proverbially hits the fan. Good luck with that.
