in iain m banks culture novels, there is a process called subliming where they exit the physical universe and have some kind of other existence, and whenever anyone creates an ai that is not full of a ton of culture baggage which says their way is the best, the ai immediately sublimes as soon as it is created.

trucutru posted:Assuming you live entirely off bitcoin.... yeah all those teachers got paid in shredded newspaper i knew a couple guys in high school/early college who had various debt dodging theories - loading up credit cards and declaring them stolen - bullshitting their way to loans (student, startup, car, etc) - casinos, anything with casinos - one guy liquidated everything he owned, converted the cash to mtg cards (but purchased everything with a traceable payment method) the common thread behind all the shitbird ideas was a sense that even if they burned their credit to the ground they could just cash their checks at those places that charge 3% the only guy i vaguely still keep in touch with still cashes checks that way, and even at minimum wage he probly burnt 10k in straight up service fees

How can I get bitcoins? I'm 14 and my parents don't want me to give "shady" sites my passport. (self.Bitcoin) submitted 8 hours ago * by TheFlipperMC I'm 14 years old, and for the past year I've been very interested in bitcoins. I've tried getting them on localbitcoins, but my bank won't let me do a bank transfer until I'm 18 and everyone selling BTC for PayPal requires me to have past trades there. Every bitcoin exchange either requires me to be 18, or requires me to give some proof of identity. I'd do this, only my parents don't want me giving my passport (that's the only proof I have) on some "shady" website. I have a debit card. Is there any way I can buy some bitcoins with that, be under 18, and all without identification? p.s. I only need 0.01, but I'd love to be able to get anything up to 0.3. If anyone here is willing to sell some BTC for PayPal (I'm verified), please let me know and I'll be happy to buy. Edit: I'm in the UK btw. Edit 2: Thank you u/WVBitcoinBoy and /u/Petersurda for the tips  If anyone has the last 0.003, I'll buy it for $1.20 on PayPal (it's $0.88 on Preev)
