What do we mean when we talk about race? Genetics, culture or a combination? Is it possible to quantify the nature/nurture relevance ratio? How about a child born from a black and a Jew, raised in Asia by a foster family? Which "race" do they get stamped on their Interwebz passport?
Culture results from genetics and environment. So, all of them. Yes. That kid is fucked. Also show me one instance in the entire world of that particular combination, just for kicks.

Come on, someone post some classic TA, please. This kind of OT is distracting, irritating and plain disgusting.
Didn't you mention not too long ago that you had met tribal people, that they were different from us, and that it was fascinating?
I think you refer to my words about nomads. They weren't tribal nomads actually, but yes they have a different, lighter stance towards life. It's the culture that's different. Different from me, I mean. I don't know about you, let alone about "us". Us bitcoiners? Us participants in the WO thread? Are you assuming I'm a thoroughbred Caucasian male? I could be ((( d_eddie ))) for all you know, or half-asian (Thai mom), or black or Inuit - well, I admit the latter's unlikely, but I could be. I guess you see what I mean.
If you are here then you are, at a minimum, some form of intelligent. And that's really what it comes down to in the end. High IQ populations do better than low IQ populations. As do individuals, on average.

I'm not disgusted with reality. I'm disgusted with tireless back and forth drilling of the same old stuff by the few that care about it, to the detriment of the silent majority who doesn't mind a nice OT, but couldn't give fewer fucks about racist (un)subtleties than an annoyed honey badger.
You should. The entire western world is in a downward spiral, culturally, financially, in every way. And the better you understand it, the better you can prepare for the next few decades, the higher chance that you survive. Which I want you to. Don't die just because you were annoyed with people who spoke of what's to come.

Some classic TA at last. Thank you, Hairy.

Good Lord this is a tough crowd tonight (this morning ?)

Fine. Here's some more TA. We've exited the Inverse Bart.



Fucking happy now ?!??!??
Thank you too for some more (contemporary) TA. It wasn't actually needed, though. Your OT's about brick-based testicle training are among the best for me anyway. Or your curt invitations to remove undesired clutter from your no-sun-shining-here areas.

In theory all the oxygen in the room you currently reside in could go to the roof, leaving your with a nice mix of co2 and nitrate to try breathing. In theory.

How does an Average Joe not 'go long' on something that he's being told is a digital currency to be bought and used as such? Or as a deflationary asset to be held? Was there ever a time not to 'be long' Bitcoin?

These type of articles are inane. It's like telling Average Joe "Go long/short on the rental property you just bought. Go long/short on the Gold you just bought."

Wise words.  However, since the average poster on here seems to me politically to lie somewhere between casually racist and far right white supremecist, I doubt the wise words of those with a differing point of view are either welcome or at all digested.


Quite a few earlier posters totally disengaged long ago. It really isn't difficult to disrupt a discussion thread.


Too true.   I have always visited this place because of a belief in Bitcoin and for a long time it's been my only connection with a whole bunch of other people who I thought were here for that too.

But these days I often feel I need decontamination after reading a few pages - and that's even with a fairly large ignore list.

The WO is often brilliantly off topic, but racist propaganda is not what I am looking for, especially from people who aren't even Bitcoiners and probably think they're winning because no-one has yet shown them the door, they often still get given the time of day and they quoted like they have a point that is relevant here.

It's like this:

I wouldn't stay in a drinking joint with a bunch of people at the other end of the bar with swastikas on their jackets talking loudly and ignorantly about Jews or Muslims (or women, come to that). Partly because it would disgust me and I would probably end up getting into a fight with that sort of pondlife - it runs in my family....  Mostly because I would hate anyone to judge me by the company I keep.

If I were running this thread those screeds of worthless shit would've been nuked decades ago. They add nothing to no one's life.

InB4 'free speech'.

And if thousands of memes and words were devoted to hamsters or underfloor heating systems with similar tedious venom that would get the boot too.

Every time I see a picture of the Bogdanov brothers I think in the Mandella Effect, UFOs, reptilians, that kind of weird stuff.

There a couple of possibilities here.  

We either have a minimum standard of behaviour (no genocide allowed) or we can fork the thread.  I don’t doubt our good moderator has the best of intentions but it is embarrassing to be associated with some of this stuff, even if only anonymously.  Ain’t nobody got time for Stormfront Word Salad.  


You seem to be letting them get to you.

Moderator (thread owner) seems to have a way more liberal non-deletion policy than many would prefer, but I think that he is living up to what he said that he would do, and perhaps even better than expected... ... Yeah, of course a few deletions of posts, here and there would send a decent signal to some of the off-topic hate-speech, and I am sure that he does some of that, but for the most part, it is likely better to error on the side of non-deletion and each of us can decide the extent to which we partake or even acknowledge the nonsense...

And, by the way, regarding price... not a whole hell-of-a-lot of action there, recently..... price explosion imminent?  Up, down  or sideways... ?

Edit:  Half an hour later... we looking like the start of a little bit of UP?  Would be nice to see another $1k up... .. which would start to get some juices flowing, no?

You're pretty much spot on.

Personally, I'm pretty hard to offend, so posts here rarely bother me. Also, I do try to err on the side of free speech. I would encourage everyone to permanently ignore offensive posters, and not to feed trolls (and grow some thicker skin).

OTOH, I recognize the thread has been getting derailed pretty badly over the past week or so. Maybe I've been a little too lax? Regardless, I've been deleting some newer troll posts.

In all honesty this is why I thought you were a r0ach alt, before I knew you. Slightly too Nazi-sympathetic for me. Anyway I've learned to not be 'triggered', as the kids say. Trolls will always take the temperature of the room and play just below the line.
