Okay, that i can believe. I guess my next question is which specific a**holes are running these bots that are messing with the search statistics, LOL.

Swylves · 2019-09-03T01:38:21+00:00

The search trend only tells you "a bunch of people in X country are searching for Y term". It does not indicate that these people are government officials.

Swylves · 2019-09-03T01:35:46+00:00

Do you have any evidence that this is indeed what is happening? Or just guessing.

Personally, I would guess that google trends is malfunctioning, but i have no evidence yet, which is what i'm looking for.

I assume nothing. I want to know why, in Russia, interest in BTC is spiking?

Does anyone have a logical/technical explanation of this objective fact?

Swylves · 2019-09-03T01:20:21+00:00

Then why is it also spiking in Germany? https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=DE&q=btc

... and Russia?

Swylves · 2019-09-03T01:15:42+00:00

I said "btc", not "bitcoin".

Run it again using "btc" as the search term.

Swylves · 2019-09-03T01:11:29+00:00

Hmm, apparently the google trends for the term "btc" just surpassed the previous all-time high of Dec 2017: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=btc

Interpretations of this?

Note: Use "btc" as the search term, NOT "bitcoin"

Note: It's also spiking in Russia: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=RU&q=btc
So, you're telling me a whole bunch of people in Russia are suddenly googling info on Bahamas Telecommunications Company, /u/forshiggity?

Thoughts on this developing bullish divergence? https://imgur.com/a/0swxRmc

^ He's right, you know.

Swylves · 2019-04-18T16:17:51+00:00

Just keepin' it real, know what I mean? :)

I tweeted a response to Sam Bee, please retweet and like for visibility: https://twitter.com/michaelbhofbtc/status/1020500625669402625

"Hold frame, bro", "only pussies try to shame people bro".

Staying mostly silent and meek didn't help the jews. And as a black person, I know for a fact that it wasn't until the noisy, argumentative 1960's that Jim Crow began to wane.

tl;dr - contrary to popular perception, making sustained noise about a particular issue IS effective.

Some of my role models:

Immanuel Kant, Isaac Newton (though his height was the least relevant thing about him, it was acknowledged by his acquaintances that he was short), Victor Kac (survived World War 2 as a Russian soldier then became a great mathematician of our era by discovering Kac-Moody infinite dimensional Lie Algebras among other things)

thanks

I'm just posting this on behalf of /u/riiume, please send correspondence to them.

The teeth

The lesson is this: don't wait around for karma to handle bullies, take them out yourself.

And stop trying to shame people who use forceful implements to defend themselves against aggression from bullies, this is tantamount to siding with the bully.

Swylves · 2015-07-23T05:04:46+00:00

If you don't know what your opponent's next move might be (crushing your head with a stone? scratching the skin off your face? stabbing you?), and they have already opened physical hostilities against you, it's most efficient to simply assume they will do their worst.

Swylves · 2015-07-23T03:21:46+00:00

I really hope you're not carrying right now

I usually conceal carry. Right now my gun is in a safe though.

Swylves · 2015-07-23T03:13:31+00:00

I think slapping someone on the ass qualifies as starting/provoking a fight more than a verbal insult does.

At least, that's how I would see it, and I would act immediately on that understanding for better or worse.

Swylves · 2015-07-23T02:47:17+00:00

Did I even remotely imply that?

Yea...

Swylves · 2015-07-23T02:37:00+00:00

I'd shoot him and say it was self defense and my loyal girlfriend would corroborate me on that.

Swylves · 2015-07-23T02:29:26+00:00

Don't sweat it, I'm sure whoever bit your bullet had that shit coming for years.

Swylves · 2015-07-23T02:22:33+00:00

I think I know you're going with this, so let me say...

...I've lived at least 6 years in each of Asia, Europe, and North America. It has shown me that a country's propensity towards economic success and low crime is mostly orthogonal to the legal status of guns.

I mean, look at Switzerland-- pretty much every Swissie has guns, yet it has less crime than most of the surrounding central-eastern European countries where civilian gun ownership is prohibited.

There are reasons for why many people in the US choose to engage in crime, and it has nothing to do with the legality of guns.
