yes theyll stop at 21 million. But that doesnt make it not inflation? just predictable and controlled inflation for the next 20+ years.
-
the basic idea is this:
1. there's no inflation. there's a fixed number of coins in existence, and no more will ever be created.
I dont understand, looking at this graph it says there are approx 3 billion bitcoins circulating and that number is constantly increased over time until it tapers off. How is this constant addition of new bitcoins NOT inflation?
As you can see the supply of bitcoins will more than double within 10 years. Unless the demand for bitcoin increases proportionally to match that inflation, won't the currency become more and more worthless? What's the point of investing in a currency that inflates at a much faster rate than any national currency and never decreases?

im also quite flustered that these things arent called credits
You just cant fly around the galaxy trading bitcoins. Thats crazy.

this is a cool idea but bread would hate it because its still a monetary system.
it also confuses me how there can be no inflation. If it really is just a bunch of nerds trading bitcoin for no reason then how much bitcoin is there to trade? why wouldnt that number get larger when more people started using bitcoin?
What is the current value of bitcoin? If it's nothing why would it ever have value? If it already has value why does it?
ps what the heck does "open source"/"anonymous" currency mean?
edit: i guess i get the anonymous part, but that seems like it could be way sketchier than swedish banks

seriously. youd have to get way drunk

Yeah i really wish this show was only about white people. Also less characterization and story, maybe get rid of most of the conflict and challenges. Just a bunch of white men getting along traipsing through waves of zombies effortlessly. Now thats a TV experience i wouldn't have to feel conscious about.

I get it! because he's spry and youthful!

ah to be in the privileged position where being at the top of your game consists of one-dimensional impressions of whatever's floated to the top if the public lexicon.

^Sort of, but I think the pop-culture parody episodes are more entertaining than when they were basically making every episode a 20 minute long editorial cartoon.
personally i loathe that, these "editorials" have all the wit and insight of a high schooler. Every episode is just tons of in-references to something popular; they invent or propagate some term that fans can run around calling each other for the next 6 months "muff cabbage, queef". People just want something to justify their hatred, and south park has become such a bastion of this kind of cultural lampooning that now all trey and matt need to do is make already infamous celebrity run around like an asshole, give randy some crazy shit to do, stan will throw around a few facepalms and theyve got another episode finished; angsty kids across the world now can have their hate-boners stroked off once again.
In any case, still a better show than the fucking simpsons.

Walking dead pilot is out

Now thats what i call ground beef!

It seems to be a ...
a big cat in a tub really, I don't know
eh?
its a cat and a catfish having a bath. nothing strange about that maaaaaaannnnn
really not sure what kind of cat that is.... any link on the topic would be great kthnxbye.
Billov joined 2010, so he missed the onslaught. He couldn't have known.
But seriously I do mean it, we are in DESPERATE NEED for some very detailed specification of the SPECIFIC type of cat we see in the picture...!
unfortunately it's not a cat per se but a rare type of fungus called Chorioactisthat has been dress up to look like a cat

had a chuckle imagining the motives behind publishing/researching this finding

Nigger is a funny word because it's retarded. I can barely fathom that anybody would call someone a nigger, and actually mean it in a serious demeaning way. Any demeaning word is retarded. But people are kind of retarded, so it's best we leave those words be.
yeah, and good thing "retarded" isn't offensive to anyone. LOL
Frankly if youre retarded you probably dont give a fuck if someone calls you that. Soon we'll be sparing the feelings of idiots and assholes too.

don't mean to be a nitpicker but i was very interested in this series until i found out it was based on a comic book that starts off with a total rip of 28 days later ie: guy wakes up in a hospital doesnt know whats going on, zombie apocalypse already started without him. i wish people just made new original stuff these days instead of comic adaptations.
I'm pretty sure the comic was written before 28 Days Later.
well 28 days later came out a year before walking dead.

Yeah and then go up to mean looking lesbian and call her a fat dyke cunt, then go up to a nazi and call him a faggoty nigger-kyke, also document it so i can keep living under the approval of people who can threaten me with physical violence
who said anything about physical violence? could just be a heated confrontation followed by a severe verbal dressing-down. in fact, most of the similar situations i've seen have ended like that. you'd be surprised what shame does to people.
No one, but it's assumed these days that a black guy will rough you over for sayin such things in his presence, and was essentially what chengod was getting at (can you hear him already preparing his contrarian post?), and it irritates me that people will censor themselves for fear of offending those who can hurt them. It's one thing to hold your tongue out of politeness, respect, but another to refrain because of some linguistic territorial bullshit.

god damn i just finished typing this whole thing out then accidentally hit the back button...fuck here goes again:
about a week ago my brother said the n word in the presence of me, my white friend, and his black gf. it was directed towards me ("what's up, nig?") and he didn't realize that there was a black person in the room at the time. my brother is 16 years old and thinks it is hilarious to shout things like "niggerpussy" at other players on the xbox. so when he realized what had happened, he didn't apologize, only laughed. i don't think he realizes that most (am i correct here?) people still find the n word offensive (i still do). well they were understandably upset but didn't say anything, just left the house and i was extremely embarrassed.
the next morning i made that little fucker call her and apologize, and i apologized as well. she and i are still fairly close friends. but her boyfriend is still upset with me and not my brother, which i cannot explain. i tried calling him about 6 or 7 times, and he never picked up the phone. when i saw him in person two nights ago and asked to speak with him in private, his response was in essence: "i can't talk to you in private because i can't be alone with a gay person" (i'm bisexual)
i know he's joking but i still take offense at shit like that..i can remember him telling me after i hooked up with a friend "you gotta get that taste off your breath".
maybe i won't get sympathy here but thought i'd put it out there
yeah, see, your buddy is a hypocrite and an asshole. he says comments like that in order to make you feel ashamed about the way you were born. your little brother is just immature. his use of the word nigger was not to marginalize, it was slang. who's really the bad person in this bunch? who is really the bigot here? it's really not fair.
Words have meaning - if they didn't they would be useless. This word has a particular meaning, which implies that the person it is directed toward is sub-human. Ignorance of the meaning of the word is acceptable - once. To be frank, it's pretty hard to see how a person in America cold not know of the meaning of this word.
I think you're stereotyping. I really don't think all people find "the ni word" offensive. 50CENT and his ballers have made this word totally acceptable, as long as its being used as casually as "dude," because then there's no like "omg" energy behind it.
Do you live in the US? Then go up to any black guy and say "What's up nigger." Please youtube for extra lulz.
Yeah and then go up to mean looking lesbian and call her a fat dyke cunt, then go up to a nazi and call him a faggoty nigger-kyke, also document it so i can keep living under the approval of people who can threaten me with physical violence

you can say whatever you want in public but its not going to stop people from thinking you're an idiot and laughing at you.

for a beginning racist it might be kind of tough to get those manly racing scars that are the apple of a racers eye, but if you can manage it, scars on the hands and knuckles are effective at making you look like the kinda guy that beats up african kings heavy with gold. But if youre looking to go the short route, tattoos of racist charicatures on the forearms will whip you into shape pretty quick. Just remember, even some of the best racists in the world (the japs) have a little modesty in showing it. Living life in the race lane can be thrilling, but sometimes you have to be able to slow down and shake a persian dude's hand every now and again when youre reaching around him to grab a box of toothpaste off the shelf he was standing in front of even though he could obviously see i was looking at the tfucking toothpaste right goddamn behind him.

Usually white people are a good place to start, theyre nice easy targets and are the most generally accepted to race on; australians, irish, russians, italians and french will probably give you something to work on for the first couple of weeks while you get started.
Once youre comfortable being a little racist here and there you can move onto bigger game like arabs, chinese, mexicans, indians and people from south america. This part can be tough since you just got on your racist feet and youre not used to interacting with those who dont take kindly to racism. Dont get discouraged!
Finally youre a real weathered racist! youve got the tattoos to prove it and a few scars from victoriously racist battles in the thick of it. Time to move on to the holy grail: the blacks. These ones will really test your racist abilities, but as long as youre white, you should have at least a couple hundred years of leverage against them. If necessary, group up with other racists with different skillsets, such as backhanded comments, muttering under breath, or ROTs (racism-over-time abilities).
Its an uphill struggle to be a racist, but i really think with the proper time and dedication, in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise, racism can be within anyone's grasp.
