mircea_popescu: the one you keep on every day so you can carry on with the nonsense.
mircea_popescu: "by me ignoring the matter". "fine. so ignore it for isp too."
mircea_popescu: nevermind that. HOW DOES YOUR HOUSE BOTH HOUSE YOU AND ETC.
mircea_popescu: how does your house both house you and also is not operated by a sovereign ?
mircea_popescu: dude... your pretense is very fascinating in theory ; but in practice you somehow manage to make an unprincipled exception which apparently is entirely mysterious to you.
mircea_popescu: look, at issue is not whether you want to do it or why. at issue is that much like opening a pizzeria, there is this thing called an isp.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform take bitbet for isntance. "we never kept logs" "no really we did" "fuck you. too late."
mircea_popescu: i was not impressed with anything quote so much that year.
mircea_popescu: watch those people process > 1k travellers/minute ; watch yourself get through the single file immigrations queue within ~12 minutes, as a new airbus/boeing lands every OTHER minute dumping 500 more people behind you.
mircea_popescu: also entirely bush-usg thing. has nothing to do with anything but the insanity.
mircea_popescu: no, the result will be a bunch of billions of idiots doing stupid shit to innocent women that happen to be around
mircea_popescu: and if today we were to make slave republic, the result won't be you know, this is the island of slave republic, mthat is the island of progressive empire, that is the etc.
mircea_popescu: do you wish the power of the internets or don't you. etc.
mircea_popescu: this is not unlike modern tgv traveler who longs for ancient train, where landscape was distinguishable not a blur. and you could spot foxes from the carriage.
mircea_popescu: scene was so influential might and magic vi - for blood and honor contains a reconstruction.
mircea_popescu: which makes paul little both notable and an artist, exactly in the way of say dali ; and unlike all the other dorks and philisitnes ever involved (yours truly included)
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt average taxpayer could distinguish samples from actual outrageous abuse. which obviously in terms of artform is a compliment ; but in practical terms it's ever so dangerous.
mircea_popescu: the typical max hardcore shot is, short woman who's a new face (unlike you know, stoya, distinctive pornstar, who everyone instantly recognizes) in garish 12 yo make-up (you know, the thick, deeply cloroed stuff they sell in gas stations in the south) saying she's 12, playing the dumb soubrette, being assfucked, fisted, spit on, drinking piss out of her own anus via intubation etc.
mircea_popescu: understand, up until that point he was periodically raided and the charges hung the jury / got dismissed. i use the 2005 govt raid / 2007 indictment to date the end of the vhs america in the practical sense - it went from larry flynt being the hero to paul little being the heel.
mircea_popescu: i also imagine the girls are still paying him visits, incredibly enough i guess he was actually well liked by the talent (unlike much more "upstanding" producers for instance)
mircea_popescu: and the "eh, THE COUNTRY" delusional notion one can live in the us is entirely fuelled by the 20+ years of max hardcore shooting his repugnant shit undisturbed.
mircea_popescu: as if it makes the first whit of difference that someone's offended. pssshhh
mircea_popescu: it's 10+ years in the making, and it was made out of dumb shit like this originally.
mircea_popescu: no, they just wanted max hardcore to apologize to the fuckwits. which is HOW this entire "cornell cry-in" thing got started
mircea_popescu: imagine that dumb shit, "apologizing for offending the people of florida".
mircea_popescu: trinque i had soldier isp back in the porn days (when it was "unacceptable" to the squares, but little going to jail over fucking girls in girly make-up to vomit was unthinkable).
mircea_popescu: "why is there ddos ?" "did you want cheap internet or didn't you ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in a very theoretical principle, this. the mechanisms involved in the practical discussion, however, aren't nearly there. just simple cash starvation, "why is roach motel full of roaches!" "because you're paying $8 a night"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: exactly same issue with "progressive" pseudo-thought : the people they most hurt are the people who try to most help them.
mircea_popescu: nope, just another anodyne "social media" tard who really really thinks he can do things. and who - exact mirror of the trump situation - manages to hurt the people who credit him and no one else.
mircea_popescu: (which is EXACTLY what happened, random canadian fraudster lied in an email. which you know - clinton is still not in jail for)
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is going to be somehow able to charge enough for servers to pay some dude 150 an hour to read random crapolade copy/pasted by nobody on the internet ?
mircea_popescu: and going to trial in california is no sort of punishment of the state of california.
mircea_popescu: moreover, you say money is not adequate punishment ? take me through the margins, explain this to me.
mircea_popescu: uh. so i should punish random derp for ... living in where ? and if he wants to move i tell him to go where ?
mircea_popescu: PeterL too bad nobody is reading / has read trilema for the past however many years. hurr.
mircea_popescu: nono. let's go through this story because the republic's failure to create an isp is one of the largest stains on its cheek, so i'm sure the discussion will be instructive.
mircea_popescu: moreover, commercial litigation is bundled/sold/bought as so much negotiable paper. it's almost never the original parties that are involved, much like your 20 bux for a boxed cd set dun go to the artist.
mircea_popescu: also, for fairness/completeness : if you actually go to trial over a minor commercial case where a reasonable settlement offer is on the table (provided you somehow find a lawyer to do this which is not actually trivial) the judge will throw molotov cocktails at you.
mircea_popescu: ie, there's flowers, of which few will carry fruit into the world ; they all knock on life's door, then most wither, dead.
mircea_popescu: multe flori sunt, dar putine rod in lume au sa poarte ; toate bat la poarta vietii, dar se scrutur multe, moarte.
mircea_popescu: does it appear to you i'm in any kind of short supply ?
mircea_popescu: trials ftr, in commercial matter, are less than 0.1% of cases
mircea_popescu: i say it, it's mandatory for them. nobody cares if they like it or not, or understand it or not. wtf is this, lalaland ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose it was ok for the reddit hordes to not read that. because why ? and i suppose it was acceptable for college kids to NOT LEARN IT. since when is self-directed education a thing ? and why would it be ?
mircea_popescu: nobody asks this. who the fuck cares what is on twitter ? and what difference does twitter make ?
mircea_popescu: more importantly : how the fuck "calexit" being on twitter makes it "a thing to cover" ?
mircea_popescu: "cornell university students held a cry-in" ahahaha epic.
mircea_popescu: and before that it was british corrupting influence as per byron. and before that etc.
mircea_popescu: just like stone age man still has to do iron age, even if we're not doing iron age anymore.
mircea_popescu: i have no use for americana, yes. but the only way 3rd world shitholes can become even vaguely digestibles is throuigh a lot of americana.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure this would help. i have a huge helping of "innocent barbarians" right here, and the obvious solution is for them to... first eat up 50 years of hollywood then we'll talk.
mircea_popescu: this being another thing most (western) men never think about : a sexual preference for young women NECESSARILY connotes a sexual preference for fucking derps with mistaken notions about the world.
mircea_popescu: also being idiot dun enter into any of this. two different things being two different things doesn't make you anything in particular.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the discussion there wasn't "i'd rather" but "i prefer". which things also aren't equal. i rather all sorts of things i don't prefer all the time, it's the key to sanity and male reproductive health.
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to say "between 1980 and 1990 i went to bed with 244 women of which 179 were blond, therefore i prefer blond women" ; it's quite another thing to say "when i dream up a dream girl, she's blonde".
mircea_popescu: moeover, there's an important distinction most people don't think of : if you've fucked under a few hundred women, one's "preference" doesn't exist as such ; they're discussing their ~projection~ of a preference, which isn't the same thing. not even remotely similar in fact.
mircea_popescu: even collective - it's a fashion not some sort of biological thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's really no sense in "evolutionary" takes on individual sexual preference.
mircea_popescu: shaved head kept inch thick beard yest, "that's so hot!"
mircea_popescu: i live in this strange blessed state where i've not to date managed a hairdo teh womenz didn't like.
