mircea_popescu: nowadays, they still do the molestation like then, but they've done away with the golden net. outright fucking obscene.
mircea_popescu: asshole "parents" ie child molesters living a century prior at least had the common decency to create a security plan for their fucktoys. yes they kept the "lady" girlies in a cage their whole life, but then also had an entire system whereby someone would come along and marry them.
heyleeecx: i want to find something i am good at to find success in life
heyleeecx: i dont think i want to be a prostitute
mircea_popescu: go to the closest highway, preferably wearing shoes only, and see who wants to give you a ride. that's where you start. where do you want to start ffs.
BingoBoingo: Successful's and outcome of doing, and doing is the only way to build skills
mircea_popescu: why do you have to be "successful" ?
heyleeecx: i just dont really have skills that would make me successful i feel
mircea_popescu: gotta cut your losses and move on SOMETIME. they were wrong, because stupid&pretentious, forget the whole pile of nonsense and try something else.
mircea_popescu: heyleeecx think about it : you spent however long, 20 years doing what your parents told you, and what's it got you ? a lot of pressure ? the sad situation where you don't know what to do with yourself ?
mircea_popescu: it's hard, you know, middle class parents keep telling girlie she's valuable and important and in charge and whatnot, when none of those are the case. then as adolescence is drawing to an end, all those kited checks of "safety" and "better not have unprotected sex with random people if you're not 100% sure they know your name" come to be paid and well... there's nothing to pay them with.
mircea_popescu: run off with the circus or something.
mircea_popescu: heyleeecx yes, but the problem is likely that you overvalue yourself. which is why all the " LOTTT of pressure" and bs.

heyleeecx: i want to move but i dont know what to do with my life
kittycollector: Lol, same here. That phrase every time
BingoBoingo: Wait, are trying to take over or carve out a safe space to act with impunity? I guess really there isn't a difference.
mircea_popescu: can't see that without thinking of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIu4fP4fOHE
kittycollector: Pinky & the brain
BingoBoingo: Eh, get him a couple pet hamsters. That'll get the cat healthier.
mircea_popescu: kittycollector try to take over the world!
kittycollector: I don't think mine could survive outside at this point
BingoBoingo: The outdoor cats here are too docile. No OG barncats murdering the shit out of nature here. Sure there's some cats, but there's no fear in the local pigeons
kittycollector: I dont foresee myself traveling over there any time soon.
mircea_popescu: i think istanbul is actually the terran capitol of catempire.
mircea_popescu: i guess. but they have humongous cat culture.
kittycollector: I haven't, seems like its a touchy area at the moment though.
BingoBoingo: That they do.
mircea_popescu: kittycollector ever been to turkey ?
mircea_popescu: that they do.
kittycollector: Growing up we've always had 2, I think they keep each other entertained.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was more of an age-related thing
kittycollector: But would own more if I could, maybe getting a 2nd this summer.
kittycollector: Again I appologize, I didn't mean for it to happen. Have a break at work now.
kittycollector: Sorry phone, I took it this morning if you wanted it still.
kittycollector: Hi mircea_popescu - very sorry I sat down to only a second and ended up falling asleep on the couch 😪
mircea_popescu: yes, but if you don't work and if you don't study, how do you obtain the things that you eat.
heyleeecx: i love cooking and trying new foods for myself but i have worked at restaurants before and hated it
heyleeecx: i think psychology would be cool but i dont know if i would be able to handle all of the college stuff
heyleeecx: not right now im still deciding what I want to do with the rest of my life, it's a LOTTT of pressure thats been bothering me for awhile
mircea_popescu: heyleeecx but i mean, do you work ? go to school ?
douchebag: im just glad i get out of this shithole in less than two months
mircea_popescu: so what do you make, other than accidents, heyleeecx ?
asciilifeform: what happened to the 3's ?
heyleeecx: I messed up the first time and had to re write it oopsie!
heyleeecx: oki gonna write the code now cx
phf: and tbf it was rapidly replaced by quake1, once the engine was released in 99. i'm pretty msu had own port going, because the graybeards (i.e. 22 year old grad students) would sometimes patch things overnight when we ran into bugs
phf: i'm surprised how little mention of it is on the internet. i guess the peculiar multiplayer mode means that it could only be popular in a very few places
mircea_popescu: the bomberman thing i mean
asciilifeform: ( supposedly. i have not personally tested. )
asciilifeform: in other noose, google domains begin to be fw'd in ru
mircea_popescu: phf pretty sure i played that one
asciilifeform from that period recalls only 'penguin' or what was it, where you shoot billgates heads. where did THAT evaporate to.
phf: xbomber now sdl bomber, presumably without the multiplayer http://www.linuxmotors.com/SDL_bomber/downloads/
phf: the recommended videos for that arcade sokoban reminded me that there used to be a unix bomberman clone, that had multiplayer implemented by connecting to multiple x11 servers and having each window/connection be a separate player. we used to spend nights at moscow state unix room playing that thing on a local lan
asciilifeform: http://www.bestoldgames.net/eng/old-games/sokoban.php << the ver i had, back in stone age
phf: asciilifeform: i'm just making sure the new feature is sufficiently advertised
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I told this girl to use an actual wallet this time and not one of those bullshit ones :D
mircea_popescu: i never saw the item in youtube above before.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was actually pretty popular, overshadowed imho undeservedly by the less cerebral tetris
mircea_popescu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZYUvD6E5pU << apaprently there's also a platformer
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo doesn't she want titmoney ? << Maybe? I am inclined to wait until she tires of paying for things to present the opportunity or I get bored. She's español as a single language and does not understand technology.
asciilifeform: ( i dun need the phonetics, i keyed it in on an actual kbd by hand, know how to sound it lol )
mircea_popescu: "would you like to buy shoes"
asciilifeform: phf: i wanted to see what demented crapola google spits out for it
phf: asciilifeform: don't need google translate for that one, can just use btcbase :p
mod6: asciilifeform does have a lot on his plate. maybe one of the newer gentlemen want to try their hand at a bot.
mircea_popescu: ever did this before ?
heyleeecx: im here to show my tits apparently cx
a111: Logged on 2018-04-11 14:55 spyked: anyway, I can see mircea_popescu's point re "but unlike gossipd, this broken implementation exists!". but unlike, say, Bitcoin, which, broken implementations or not, I can understand by going to the sources, this I can't, at least not without getting myself deep into the slime pit.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-11#1796253 << if only. bitcoin would fail the exact same tests today. it's built out of windows basically. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: but to be fair 'translator' only turned back into open problem a week or so ago.
asciilifeform: when asciilifeform is no longer catastrophically swamped with 9000 horrors, will possibly attempt a general-purpose bot ( ideally with real, rather than googlistic, dictionaries even )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what are you beefing over, you got a bot, have it translate.
asciilifeform: yea meant to push 'translate'. but both, grr.
mircea_popescu: the translate call ? yeah.
mircea_popescu: it's in this sense an important game in a way doom or warcraft 2 or w/e are not.
mircea_popescu: sokoban is actually a great item because it correctly exposes a primitive -- not of "social discouse" or w/e the fuck, an actual item of reality.
asciilifeform fell in luvv with 'sokoban' as a boy, it was ~the~ game, and only many yrs later realized the appeal: so much like in actual life, player spends good % of time in 'yer phucked, whether know it or not, all yer moves are futile' state
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo doesn't she want titmoney ?
asciilifeform: amusingly enuff, this is approx what actually happens
mircea_popescu: next time they won't fucking do the dumb.
mircea_popescu: let them be both picked by cranes and moved at great expense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, that's not even such a bad rule, force escalation. "you got into a mess on your own power, you are forbidden using your own power again until someone else who knows wtf they're doing PUTS YOU IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION".
a111: Logged on 2018-04-04 22:46 mircea_popescu: anyway, since we're reading "slate star codex", ie scott alexander's blog (the pantsuit-annointed official tlp replacement so tlp never actually happened), let's lul together : https://archive.is/Yyblu#selection-1259.852-1259.1460
mircea_popescu: cement over the current state of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-04#1792978 set) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (and this is also why i pronounced http://trilema.com/2016/the-story-of-elliot-rodger-by-elliot-rodger-adnotated-part-one/ as the ultimate hero : because he, unlike "the smarter" lot of them, actually wanted a girlfriend TO USE HER, not so that his dumb head can finally function, oh, $woman-in-head is here to tell me all will be ok, now i can pour myself a glass of milk whereas before--couldn't. this much is categorical advan
asciilifeform: 'It Is Texas Law That When Two Trains Meet Each Other At A Railroad Crossing, Each Shall Come To A Full Stop, And Neither Shall Proceed Until The Other Has Gone'
mircea_popescu: " so they can put that putative exit code into their function calls and function. what the fuck!)
mircea_popescu: (and this is no small matter, the current principal driver of pantsuit popularity among the not-retarded set is exactly this : their dumb mother told them when they were wee kids that they must have the exit code for any function call, and they never examined the idiotic outpour of the useless dumb whore, so there they sit today, unable to act unless some replicant of the original dumb whore whispers in their ear "all is well
mircea_popescu: what the fuck do i care "what it all means in the end". let the end fucking care. and how the hell could any process baked in "$the end". imagine if there was a language which required as part of any function call the exit code of the program. wut ?!
asciilifeform: well considering that ~whole point~ of heartbl^H^Heat 'feature' is to assist knownplaintextattack...
BingoBoingo: In other news after spending a Uruguayo/a free night slaying the Inca in bed my mood is not quite so dismal. As long as there's no "want of a nail" cascades alf shouldn't be greeted by Eeyore. This still does nothing to solve the indexing problem.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's evidently a pile of very simple and very useful questions to ask. "Why not send the time ?".
mircea_popescu: if such a rifle could be made, the us would have made it. physics got in their way.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: picture if the selector on kalash had a 'fires backwards' position. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: nobody apparently asked "why not send the time ?"
a111: Logged on 2017-08-22 12:07 asciilifeform: the 'noise protocol' link is hilarious -- even features the classic leper's bell of nsa committee , the null-cipher
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-22#1701858 << incidentally, one of the things that made me chuckle to myself, was the usage of empty enciphered packets to heartbeat. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Right, even a classic algo strictly Pagerank google whitelisted to the WoT still wouldn't grep with nuance
