"Achieved" head count per murderer?

That family seemed genuinely nice although in that naive and incapable of grasping the consequences of their actions kind of way.


But they should not be supported and they are precisely why I am dead against any social welfare that isn't an unconditional UBI.

That much I can tolerate to level the playing field and disarm literally everybody who dares complain about wealth inequality. People go from 0 to Forbes 100 all the time and with a UBI nobody could even attempt to make a case for "exploitation" or any other types of "qq unfair".

But financially incentivizing the degeneration of humanity is just plain wrong. There's a reason why IQs in the West have been in decline. It's precisely because all responsibility is delegated to figures of authority with misaligned incentives.

Haven't really thought it through, but I'd certainly prefer that over uncapped benefits per child. A policy that is heavily exploited by certain groups of people and partially responsible for the anti-refugee rhetoric.

There was one family with two underage wives on public television proudly stating that they have no intention of ever working. All while receiving social welfare for each wive and child support for each kid. Of course people who paid 60% taxes their entire life and live around the poverty line will get pissed off at that, and rightfully so.

I'm sure everybody in this thread has seen people struggle with even dumber shit. For some reason some people either don't have the right mindset to identify solutions to problems by themselves or they are inherently incapable of doing so.

However, you can certainly teach those people how to use a photocopier or a fax and basic programming is no more difficult while also in high demand.

People who drink bleach as an elixir have already solved all their problems. The remainder can use the internet, which is what I did. I have spent years scavenging the internet for dozens upon dozens of different paths. There's no wizardry going on here, literally pick a bunch of acceptable categories and a bunch of desirable ones then go from there.


You can't tell me that people are too stupid to Google "What jobs Y that involve X are there and what are the salaries?" and then follow up with "What paths to Y are there?". And I also don't believe that people who immediately fold are inherently incapable of following instructions until they commit them to memory.



Perhaps if you're less intelligent you need to win by quantity over quality. Which seems to be in line with the data. The lowest IQ people are those with the most children. Ironically having more children than you can support not only makes survival harder, but also actively hinders education.

Love the avatar and solidarity, but I keep thinking you're someone else.

Is my memory broken or did we actually have to type out http://www. back in the day? I don't miss the old internet.

Tesla didn't even take off yet, or did they start rolling out those cars already?

Luckily coding is extremely easy for most of the jobs. If you can say what your program should do out loud you're already half way there. There is tons of work for low level programmers and people just throw money at them.

Just because it uses fancy terms like ML or AI doesn't mean that you're not just regurgitating the same methods over and over in the majority of jobs.

Not everybody needs to be a researcher designing or optimizing algorithms.


Even if you take some sub 100 IQ person. As long as they are capable of language as well as repeating steps somebody else has already taken they will be able to pick up the skills required for low level programming jobs. They really aren't much different from stacking blocks or chopping wood.

Five years would already be far more than anyone could reasonably need when working part-time, but even if you round up to ten years that still leaves at least a few decades of high earnings for most people. But why bother learning something for 10 years if you don't know if it will pay off right? Wrong. And that's the problem.


There are countless other jobs that people can learn in similar amounts of time too. Most people just don't want to put in the effort needed once they are off work and I can totally get that. But that's everybody's choice and not something that the rest of us should be forced to compensate for.



And by the way, I am college educated because I chose that path. I also made sure that I chose a subject that was guaranteed to provide high income if I put in sufficient effort, even though I would have much preferred studying something financially worthless but more interesting. And that's ignoring the overwhelming existential dread from even choosing a course coming from a dirt-poor first generation migrant family without any academics.

Even before I entered university I thought it would be out of my reach and the first lectures in Mathematics I attended were so far and beyond me that I was 100% certain that I would not make it to the end of the first year, never mind the end of my degree.

I could have also gone off to some apprenticeship or low-skill work right after school like a solid 99% of my childhood peers. They are literally so disconnected from reality that they wouldn't even believe that I was sent to a global elite university with a full scholarship (and not in the "wow good for you" kind of way, they literally called my parents liars when they told them after being asked about my picture on Facebook).

Poor people on average clearly don't understand that they can change their own fate and outright reject anyone who against all the odds demonstrates the possibility. All of us who made it just "got lucky", somehow cheated others out of their money or are simply lying.

There's little that is more disgusting than people who are too afraid or lazy to even try moving forward berating others and trying to claim moral high ground while complaining about the obvious results of their life choices. If that was all then I would just shrug it off. But in reality it is precisely because of those degenerates that we have such high taxes and literally nothing to show for in return. And the fact that I have to either circumvent income tax entirely or be forced to pay for idiots with a complete and utter disregard for foresight is appalling.

But yeah, those poor people that chose to fuck around throughout their life. Let's all pity them and exacerbate the issue instead of very clearly pointing out their poor choices and making sure that others after them think twice about what they do with their lives.



Credit to all those who choose a simple lifestyle without shitting on those that don't.

Edited my post as I read 10h per day instead of per week. Either way, two of those jobs are more than enough for me to live on while educating myself enough to score an internship.

Edit: That also changes the time-line of my initial post. With full-time work I'd need up to three years to get up to speed from scratch. With part-time work I could easily land an internship within a year. Two if I take it easy. Three if I wanted to skip the internship and jump straight into a junior position without carrying coffee around for minimum wage.

Yes, I could. In fact, I lived for half of that for years and I even managed to build significant wealth. (5x12x5x4 = 1200 per month, 200 more than I had for a long time and still half of what you propose.)

Anyone who works full-time at minimum wage and fails to retire as at least a millionaire only has themselves to blame.


Heck, you could cut that into half again and I'd still manage to survive while picking up all the skills necessary to land a 6 figure job within 1-3 years.



Edit: I read per day not per week. Thankfully my last point still fits. With a $12 minimum wage and 10 hours of work per week I would manage to survive on ONE job while picking up all the skills necessary for a 6 figure job within 1-3 years. With two jobs I'd already be building wealth (quite substantially with crypto and still more than most people without).

By not having a family if they failed to plan for and luck into sufficient wealth. Having kids without being able to support them is corrosive to society, especially if you start complaining on an industrial scale about how unfair the world is for not making up for your poor life choices.

Swings aside, during the bull market altcoins gain dominance over Bitcoin. This effect can be expected to increase over the years as equity becomes tokenized.

Holy fuck, we dropped 99,99871% on December 15? Maybe I should go see a doctor.

Speak for yourself or fuck off.

Maybe not the police, but certainly the IRS/Fed if you told them that you're a sovereign seastead and don't want them to steal your money.

That doesn't explain why he would be lying.

It's not entirely implausible that real Satoshi is dead or locked up and CSW somehow weaseled himself into a position where either the public or an authority calling him Satoshi would grant him access to a trust.


Either way, time will tell what is going on. One way or another.

Did you figure this out?

I was under the impression that BitPay asked for an address when you file for a refund.

Any chance you just gave them your Coinbase address over your wallet?

Are you walking through life blindfolded? Internet connections and hard drives have been evolving right before our eyes long before Bitcoin was even a thing. People have been actively working on those problems 24/7 for decades.

Gigabit is already cheap in some places and only a tiny fraction of what is possible right now. The only reason our internet isn't faster is because there is no consumer grade application for it (you can stream 4k with multiple devices with a fraction of that), not because we don't have the infrastructure necessary.

Again, arguments against big blocks are not going to be found on the hardware side.

So would you say it is not an optimal time to 80x long?
