mircea_popescu: anyway. century old cheese invented literally in the place i was born.
asciilifeform: i vaguely recall this.
mircea_popescu: hey, i think i even had some served in ro.
davout: i have, in the us, but we also have that kind of food here, food that doesn't rot
asciilifeform: davout: no, i mean a specific atrocity, petro-garbage that is sold as 'cheese' in usa, NEVER refrigerated
davout: asciilifeform: "room-temperature-cheese." <<< where i'm from, all cheese is room temperature cheese
davout: ok, so apparently it's one of the plugins i had installed
asciilifeform: i can't be arsed to figure out which.
asciilifeform: i bet one of the innumerable items linked from external (google & shitpress) boxes got 0wn3d
asciilifeform: e.g., I bid </p>
PeterL: good thing you signed the bid, I guess
danielpbarron: i thought that guy was adding it himself until i saw one in the middle of your signed bid
asciilifeform: incidentally ~gpg~ is broken NOW, i can make a fresh key with, e.g., mircea_popescu's fingerprint, for less than the cost of a bus.
asciilifeform: and the instructions were, and i recall, 'if this one is used, old one is to be considered dead'
mircea_popescu: so i did. none of this maps on the "update" process in any way extant.
asciilifeform: hey i was not counting on the idiot sks update process
mircea_popescu: pfff! i say!
mircea_popescu: deedbot-> rejected: 1 >>> i lulzed heartily.
trinque: I assume they plan to beat Apple on the head with "your phones aren't as s3kur3 as you claim" until... something
asciilifeform: (this thing where folks expect keys to never change, is lulzy, yes i get it, mircea_popescu gotta prevent mpex account resale, but it is dumb in any other context)
trinque: ahaha I copied wrong.
trinque: perhaps I lack that key
asciilifeform: anyway i signed, because apparently nobody believes that i am this far gone into insanity
mircea_popescu: i suppose teh peanut gallery be getting antsy by now.
asciilifeform: if i win the auction (l0l) i will make the pet operate it.
asciilifeform: anyway i can't imagine mine is the winning bid, the thing is a valuable mechanism, surely worth a fat bag of coinz
asciilifeform: he's the only same fella left in old #b-a i think
asciilifeform: phf: presently it's kako and i re bbet auction
phf: i left because conversation is dead and there's no attempt to revive it. it seems like the only shared thing between those left is hatred for mp, which is not particularly good community builder. last thing i saw was nubbins repeating the same point he made about 4 times now about MPEX trade volume
asciilifeform: dispatch from planet earth (old #b-a) - i bid a few coinz for poor old bbet, and kako thinks i went off my sanity
asciilifeform: i forget why, i think we had 1 bottle tooo many
mircea_popescu: possibly best collection of obscure pathogens in the world. whenever i go my eyes water.
asciilifeform: was shuttered by the time ben_vulpes and i thought of it
asciilifeform: i didn't get to it
asciilifeform: subte i assume is their subway ?
mircea_popescu: hanbot i think chetty took them for a death spin or something.
asciilifeform: if ever i end up there again i can even try without gas mask.
asciilifeform: unlike m. gandhi, i dun do the self-mortification thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and after that, i could have walked to confectionary and asked to smell a good cake !
mircea_popescu: hanbot do you rtecall which te fuck this was btw ? i thought it was the subasta de esclavas thing, buncha naked girlies on sale
asciilifeform: aha! actually the failed reddit thing, more so. some months ago i was fingered in some derp comment, ' mircea_popescu's demented lieutenant, in charge of argentinian bsdm....' or the like, i almost fell to the ground from my stake
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu and i and buncha folks went to a club, nominally s&m-tronic, but ~nobody (as far as my naked eye could see) was naked
mircea_popescu: personally i was rooting on davout taking the weirdo german chick home. or at least pistols at dawn with ben_vulpes ; something. but alas...
phf: mircea_popescu: you saw asciilifeform in the nude? now i too am confused by this thread
asciilifeform: how did i even end up in this thread, this is the perfect example of mircea_popescu's 'gynaeceum material, dun work in forum' thing.
mircea_popescu: phf fwiw, i did personally see him in the nude and fuck whoever club, he didn't melt.
mircea_popescu: it's outrageous, i don't think i ever saw an intelligent girl in a library.
phf: asciilifeform: sure, i don't take issue with your preferences, it's your trying to frame it in value terms that we share. oh club sluts are stupid, real smart girls only hang out at libraries where alf feels it safe to approach them
asciilifeform: this is not 'cooking' (which i quite approve of) but room-temperature-cheese.
asciilifeform: phf: i'm allergic to 'female culture', shoes, piles of gaudy clothing idiocy, etc. what of it.
mircea_popescu: i don't credit the "missing out" angle, he can't possibly be missing what he's not missing.
phf: asciilifeform: i think we're saying that you're making familiar assumptions, that are not true, and that you're missing out from that, or at the very least are saying falsehoods.
asciilifeform: i did also.
mircea_popescu: hey, i taught a girl how to lisp also.
trinque: I've at least taught every gf I've had to code.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was attempted, i had the elementary nervous system to resist
mircea_popescu: if "smell of animal" matters, i bet you i can get you married with an utter imbecile just by exploiting "smells of library".
phf: i.e. they smell of sweat because they were dancing?
asciilifeform: i only even mention it because came up, in thread.
mircea_popescu: i agree.
phf: i guess the point is that asciilifeform doesn't like club sluts, wants his girls as math phds only. but periodically, and that was the issue, he sneaks in the idea that there's something deficient about girls that go to clubs, i.e. they are not clever or smart, they are animals, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm allergic, what of it. just can't do the zoophilia thing, never could.
asciilifeform: i get nothing.
asciilifeform: who said i got pass.
asciilifeform: i'm allergic to the mass culture thing.
trinque: http://i.imgur.com/Fpm5ox2.jpg << I like girls that get shown Oglaf and give me one of these 2wks later.
phf: i don't grok, explain
asciilifeform: 11:36 <+phf> fwiw there's plenty of clever girls in dc club scene << ~definitionally~ not what i consider usable.
mircea_popescu: hey, i've made all sorts of beautiful things with clever women that were self-aware.
mircea_popescu: i don't particularly like clever girl that thinks self clever, no.
asciilifeform: 11:31 <+mircea_popescu> phf i dunno fucking comprehend the disdain affected (perhaps to the point of believing themselves) by intellectual folk re the pro sluts. << nonono i just loathe the hump of the bell curve, sluts, no sluts, whatever
mircea_popescu: i don't mean "than their weight in hens" even. headcount ffs. not even footcount.
mircea_popescu: phf i met tons of guys that went "yeah baby i'm ap roducer"
phf: i thought owners are always mercurial about their answers that sort of questions. i'm yet to see one who goes "yeah, i own companies"
trinque: I don't recall.
mircea_popescu: trinque quite unheard of here. whole fucking place is a socialist wet dream, nobody owns anything. did i recount the lulz of the local gambling baron ?
phf: i work in mergers and acquisitions
mircea_popescu: because apparently work doesn't mean iho what i thought it would.
mircea_popescu: local lulz here. tall blondy aspiring to be a stewardess wants to know where i work. "i don't work" "then what do you do ?" "whatever i feel like." she's thoroughly confused, enlists help. "how do i pay for things ??" "with money." "yes!!!". eventually girl that knows me rescues them, "oh, he's in finance". NOW they're satisfied! "omg you liar!11"
phf: but i'm saying i grok what ascii is talking about, because there's strong sorority culture in dc
mircea_popescu: i'd much rather discuss the scrolls with them than with the others.
phf: i have nothing but warm feelings towards clubsluts, they made my mid 20s quite pleasant, before i left dc
trinque: how is "I am signaling for cock as hard as I can" fear?
mircea_popescu: phf i dunno fucking comprehend the disdain affected (perhaps to the point of believing themselves) by intellectual folk re the pro sluts.
mircea_popescu: just how long was i asleep!
asciilifeform: i've never actually seen the folks BingoBoingo links to
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i knew a buncha similar kidz who , yes, adapted to chimp cunt.
mircea_popescu: i wonder... just as muscular as chimp otherwise ?
asciilifeform: trinque: i gotta say, i envy your blindness.
mircea_popescu: if stuck in zoo i think i'd try to enjoy chimp cunt.
shinohai: I saw Vexual in the logs lmao
asciilifeform: by and large i find the local fauna repulsive.
asciilifeform: aha, this is how i became asocial monster
asciilifeform: but i pwersonally must've been put here from sins in past lives or what.
mircea_popescu: oh i see.
asciilifeform: i will watch it, atm busy having my fingernails pulled out and entrails unwound
danielpbarron: gavin can't say the things that i can say, and in that sense he is much less free than I am
asciilifeform: Mar 31 09:31:56 <mircea_popescu>he has his idiosyncratic criteria, which fit the events. and change with teh events. << this is unfounded. all i ever said on subj is 'gavin is exempt from arbeit macht frei, doesn't commute, doesn't punch clock'. turns out - true. (unless mircea_popescu has intel suggesting otherwise ?)
phf: i thought it was somewhere around the dinner scene where they ask dad questions
phf: i can also see why it would have a 7/10 rating, because it won't be seen as a satire, the characters are also the audience, words like "poignant" "reconnecting" "estranged" will be used, but of course there all kinds of things to nit pick for connoisseurs of independent movies which are better than hollywood, but are easy to apply npr-speak while completely missing the point, and the meta circularity makes my head heart. hence-- painful
