i really enjoy b movies for what they are, for example most of the troma entertainment movies are in my regular rotation

loving hell is atlas shrugged bad, like just 2 hours of awkward, loving bad acting based on a scenario apparently written by a 12 year old

i could barely suspend my disbelief, especially when it came to the train sub plot, where apparently the only way to see if your poo poo's safe to to throw a live train on it fully laden with passengers at a bajillion miles per hour. apparently engineering tests didn't exist in rand's time, and no one thought to update the story.

i too wish to live in a world where all forms of engineering are at best guesswork

nope, engineering tests existed in her time, but her magic capitalists are so smart they don't bother with them in the book.

this is the same reason atlas shrugged says there's only one bridge across the whole mississippi, so that her heros can destroy it and cripple national transportation

This is also why mandatory safety equipment is verboten in libertarianism: real men of the free market simply don't need it

i'm not sure if it's just a folk tale, but my civil engineer dad told me once that in the hey days of communist pоссия, safety margins were excluded out of a lot of bridge designs because they were wasteful capitalist ideals

i've begun to see a lot of parallels between hard line communism and pure libertarianism, in the sense that they are both terrible for a surprising amount of the same reasons

having communist and libertarian acquaintances is a terrible thing

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

I just sent 2 bitcoins to Hal Finney (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 6 minutes ago by YOLOSWAGGINS1337

I owed my friend 2 bitcoins. He had just gotten a new business card with a bitcoin address QR code on it. I sent 2.0 bitcoins to the address. He opened up his wallet app and waited, and waited. Anxiety turned to dread as I compared the addresses and saw that they were entirely different. Suddenly, it dawns on him, and he says "oh, oops"

He had used a QR code that he found on google images. He was going to replace it with one that he generated, but it slipped his mind and he printed them with the wrong one. I researched that address and found that it was used in the first network transaction from Satoshi to Hal Finney.

Hal Finney is dead, my friend can't afford next month's rent, and I don't have the kind of money that I can throw another 2 btc his way.

I know this is a long shot, but does anybody have any idea how I can get in contact with his family, or whoever (if anybody) might have his wallet now?

Also I hate everything. I'm gonna go eat my feelings and kick stuff.

Atlas Shrugged probably holds the most responsibility for the addled logic of Bitcoiners. It taught them to apply "reasoning" from a crackpot fiction to the world so it must work.

did anyone say "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." yet?
