stjohn_piano_2: i understand your point. i've thought about this quite
a bit.
diana_coman: well yes, but think of it: you are effectively making it *hard* for people (with established identities so those you say you do want to hear from) to provide feedback to you on the grounds that you don't want to bother with everyone; i.e. you are effectively unloading your work onto those who may be able to/willing to help you; doesn't seem
a winning strategy to me.
diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: but why such high-bar for what is meant as
a public-facing i.e. by definition wider-public-interaction thing anyway?

a way to check one's identity; hence, deedbot will not send an OTP in response to !!register but WILL send an OTP in response to ~any other command (technically to any command that is
a request of *someone* i.e. that requires an identity)

a sort of transient baccalaureat if you will.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-21 22:48 asciilifeform: dunno that i've met such
a marvel, who could do this irl. but will believe.
mp_en_viaje: more affordable that way. and, in limine, i don't even see much wrong with it -- so some people who aren't f1 pilots gather around and rent the old cars for
a few hours
a few times an hour, spin them in an old salt flats. something wrong with this ?
mp_en_viaje: generally bdsm people do "scenes", meet once
a week or w/e for
a few hours and pretend / dream jointly about it.
mp_en_viaje: hey asciilifeform , remember that ~really~ weird euro fuck that kept pestering you about whatever "bad things" you said about him / ruined his future
a few years ago ?
BingoBoingo: For the record DJI has
a more honest commercial presence in Uruguay than Caterpillar. The DJI storefronts have drones. The CAT store fronts cannot even order earthmoving equipment.
trinque: I'll implement this, and also see about
a proper handler-case for shutting down gracefully and restarting
trinque: anyone know how to get sbcl to cough up the error that caused
a particular thread to terminate?
mp_en_viaje: with the added shame, of course, that james
a donald hasn't, five years later, yet fulfilled ~his obligations~, natural as well as legal, to that piece.
diana_coman: not sure truly alt, no; rather simply noting that it has been going that way for quite
a while and not very surprising at that; by the time it's already the ersatz of an ersatz of
a meanwhile forgotten replacement, well...
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, this is actually
a workable alt explanation, huh.

a person somewhere in this person-shaped hole in the air"

a coin-operated thing that 'see yourself as chimpanzee' .
mp_en_viaje: it's altogether about replacing precious cuntlet as-she-is with
a virtual imago that's more in line with her self-expectations.
diana_coman: I thought those mirrors/apps/whatevs were about showing how makeup/whatever would look like on the looker's face i.e. with
a camera/pic taken not on model; anyways, supposedly if the "could have" was enough, everyone has it, what's to say they could not have gotten whatever at any time.

mp_en_viaje: the system's meanwhile well expanded throughout europe and south/central america. fining these fucks has the perverse result that it
gives them a datapoint, which they will then use.

trinque: I'm going to quickly restart deedbot in
a repl session, so next time this hang occurs I can fiddle with the thing live.

a buncha lamers. heck, they're almost cool, they sure as fuck watch true drama, where heroes die (sometime)!

a) text of b) clear ideological tendency which c) nevertheless makes statements as of the future d) at some time in the past which e) were borne by historical flow.

spyked: mp_en_viaje, should take less than that, giving myself time to work through potential unexpected issues, e.g. it's been
a while since last time I used hunchentoot, need to reload it in head.
mp_en_viaje: moreover, it's an important rite of passage, it's something everyone should do, i have little faith in the born-impotent, people who never ran catabolic processes to
a tidy profit, let alone know, relaxedly and from ample experience, that they always could.
mp_en_viaje: but this is
a very personal thing -- i don't begrudge anyone left the interest his interest ; i'll even read the stories of faits d'armes, just because i'm too old to get it up anymore dun mean impotence is desirable now or some shit. fuck that world sideways, take all its money, by all means.
mp_en_viaje: i personally can't be arsed to extract
money out of the decay of outside world. this is purely personal -- ive been doing it for
a long time, marginal utility of more money for me personally is 0, intellectual curiosity left is nil, how shall this be best put ? fucked that
mp_en_viaje: certainly b is time-weak --
a body as humongous as the empire of the billion white men, built over millenia with great care, is quite capable of rotting for longer than
a lifetime. fuck, it has in point of fact been rotting for longer than
a lifetime,
a few times over, even! both theoreticaly and from direct historical record it's clear enough : b is quite time-weak.
mp_en_viaje: in yet another possible (and idempotently equivalent) statement, the republic's
a rare anabolic island in
a wider body politic that went full catabolic. obviously our methods, our inputs and our outputs do not match the outside world. but
a) we knew this going in and b) the premise is that catabolism does not last.
mp_en_viaje: stated by me, it sounds like
a "no brainer", but it is in fact zealotry like any other : obviously "as
a matter of definition" the good is better than the bad hurr durr ; the hidden coda is that i also hold these to be ~knowable~. suddenly, it's not so directly obvious.

☝︎☟︎ mp_en_viaje: there's no argument that this can be done. it's
a chumpatron, definitionally : get
a buncha chumps gathered around an economically exploitable weakness, you thereby have
a negotiable instrument that can thus therefore be sold for money. the argument is that doing this ~is not useful~

☝︎☟︎ mp_en_viaje: once netflix or whoever bought it, they bought
a very valuable franchise : now they can "continue" the "famous work of fiction" but ~without~ killing anyone anymore. this is what they're mass-marketing : "come ye herds, and watch the
a) famous work of fiction where everyone dies but b) without anyone dying while you watch".
mp_en_viaje: perhaps the best example in latter this vein would be the case of the guy writing "game of thrones" -- he did two things : gathered
a demo and provided an in. his in, craftily written in, was "everyone always dies".
mp_en_viaje: yes on occasion schmuck can
sell his body with some
political (like the caleb crain idiot hoped to do) or commercial success (like say that j k rowling retard, who "made
a billion dollars" (in
the usual manner) by "writing fiction" aka herdin

☟︎☟︎ mp_en_viaje: meanwhile to revolution you must crack skulls (and even widely successful revolutions
a la russia still end up reverted to mean by same cunt process).
mp_en_viaje: what's more, it's
a problem that only can possibly have two classes of solution : either, like successful merchants, widen the base ; or else, like successful politicians, revolution.
mp_en_viaje: but from the pov of sane man -- everyone's in for having been caught, which is
a stupid thing to do .
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, quite exactly.
a re-read of the ingenious nobleman sir don quixote de la mancha through this critical lens might be most informative. note how panza is ~not hired~.
mp_en_viaje: now, there's nothing wrong with one who just happens to be
a hero. EXCEPT if he has such poor grasp of money, inkeeps start laughing at him.
mp_en_viaje: you can not hire
a hero ; but you can hire
a service.
mp_en_viaje: not even
a matter of predictable (as in, will be defeated in future). it happens to attempt to go agains tthe specific gradient of what the whole system does. market ~altogether exists~ so as to
close the 0-infinity gap mp_en_viaje: this is the strategy of blondy : the wildest possible edge of "40Gs" as
a price would be if the G's were those found in Kellog's. to ~insure herself against the maximum loss where that's what the yactually were~, she proceeds to cut them out, and see.
mp_en_viaje: minimaxing works fine in engineering and d&d. it is not
a workable strategy in energy exchange, be it in the form of boat-on-sea or in the form of picking-up-chick or in the form of find-jerb etc.
mp_en_viaje: because it takes
a certain dose of insanity to think the equation you solved was the equation that was being presented. you recall that episone in married with children when christina applegate was saving cereal box K's to buy car ?
mp_en_viaje: nevermind what to disagree. stop sliding around all the time, it's like you have
a cuntprocess in your head, the moment money starts being discussed you're suddenly an octopus on ice.
