0? I know that it's not a huge gay buttpartytime everytime, but i'm seriously surprised if the difference isn't statistically significant at all cuz', y'know

i mean, i feel like if i were gay it would be way higher on my priority list

im not gay who said i was gay

edit: eh, from two different sources I found on google it looks like ~33% for gay men and about ~10% for straight couples

probably depends on the study and if they're talking to people of both genders who are homosexual and then saying "homosexual intercourse has about as much buttsex as straight people"

i'd say this is a bad derail but it's literally butt talk so

also it's not talking about horrible people doing horrible things so probably an improvement

Is someone going to remember to warn the developers before to many big events like the dominca thing? (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 3 minutes ago by warningbtc

Every day bitcoin events get bigger and bigger, today it was announced 70,000 people would be given bitcoin. Maybe next week 170,000 and a year from now 700,000.

But imagine that 700,000 person event happens, someone today announces that they are throwing a party and are going to spread bitcoin and throw a bitcoin festival and 700,000 people come. And the world watches this new thing and this exciting party.

And everyone gets there and reporters bring their camera and everyone is excited to start useing bitcoin, and people start buying and selling and then the whole place is shook by a large wet fart noise of the whole blockchain totally overloading. transactions can't go through anymore, the blocks is full. stuff isn't processing, people have to wait and wait and wait and everything stays unconfirmed. ATMs won't sell, stores can only rely on zero confirmations, People go to websites to sell their massive profits and transactions take hours or days and eventually get removed from the memepool uncompleted. And generally every reporter reports "oh, bitcoin was a joke" and report "bitcoin broke" and never follow up the story where it later gets fixed.

Basically, don't we need to raise the limit BEFORE this happens?

If someone tomorrow figured out a way to get bitcoin 7 million active users all using it at once. They would basically need to try and call the bitcoin head office to beg the bitcoin developers to please give them permission. Or become programmers and start a competing branch of bitcoin. Or basically in some way beg permission.

Hasn't the solution to this problem been in the wiki long enough? Is there any reason for the delay? Is the only way this is going to be changed if bitcoin actually DOES get the sort of success the community wishes for and then poops it's pants in public with a blockchain that can't handle more than toy amounts of transactions because someone is currently in charge of hand picking how many people are allowed to use bitcoin at once and have hand picked that they don't really like bitcoin being any bigger than this.

Wheeee!
to be fair, as far as i can tell coinapult would be operating a wallet service that lets you transfer funds using SMS

i.e. they would helpfully be holding all the coins and operating as a regular SMS banking service. likely doing most transfers off the blockchain

which means that the push isn't "use bitcoins as a currency", but "use the mongodb database of a panama based startup as a currency"

unfunny anecdote: an ex-girlfriend spent a looooot of money and time being highly trained in "non-violent communications". unfortunately whenever she opened her mouth to utter anything, it was usually an affront to whichever group was adressed. nonetheless she was extremely proud in her non-violent people skills non-ironically.

realtalk "non-violent communication" is a good book that everyone on the planet would benefit from reading once. but lol at taking a course. even just the book by itself is pretty thin.


if someone is being a conversational fuckhead at you, do not react or be a fuckhead back. just keep responding with "So you're saying [restate what they just said]", and unironically try very hard to make sure you're repeating back to them what they've said in a way that they will find accurate. keep doing this, unironically, until they feel heard. it will be an obvious no matter how spergtastic you are.

90% of the book's theory is that most communication goes off the rails because both parties feel the other person isn't listening, and when a person feels "not listened to" they themselves stop listening. so they recommend the most explicit possible way of making it clear that you are hearing what the other person wants you to hear.

it's a little awkward to do the first few times because it feels condescending, but holy poo poo. even if you don't read up past what i've posted here, just try it once. change your life.
