mircea_popescu: much like black mold, they took advantage of a dirty environment and spread.
mircea_popescu: make it illegal to medicalize convenience, of all kinds. i get it that it'd be convenient for the politicians if the doctors distributed social payola to the poor under the pretense of "health". dun work that way regardless.
mircea_popescu: once that's done, 98 to 99.9% of all "costs" suddenly vanish, and suddenly you get a sane health system.
mircea_popescu: the us health care problem has only one solution, and it's compressive not expansive. a) shoot all the malades imaginaires (such as, fine example,
https://archive.is/yyQny). these literally have to be shot, no possible two ways about it ; b) make it impossible for doctors to give the patient benefits. no days off from work ; no financial payments dependent on what doctor says on paper. nothing. no more painkillers of any kind
mircea_popescu: PeterL right, because if i put more people through the clothes shredder i'll get more supermodels right ?
mircea_popescu: the only way out is to separate medical care from social security ; and to shoot anyone found to have engaged in fraud for the past decade.

mircea_popescu: last moment my foot she's been bleeding votes over it all summer.
mircea_popescu: the result of letting the kids on reddit instead of keeping them chained to a pole half the day with water and quarterly whippings.
mircea_popescu: basically the whole thing was about govt corps needing a new prop for their feltering bezzle fortune. and he acquiesced. and the idiots think he's a democrat.
mircea_popescu: it's always tempting to say that "this dish is shit, but let me add some sauce", as if the superset of shit somehow redeems the individual turds.
mircea_popescu: it was badly thought out, badly written, bad all through.
mircea_popescu: somehow they ALSO all omit to point out that a) they were wrong and b) the others were right ; or propose any sort of penitence, such as you know, hanging themselves.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, they all AGREE today that he fucked it up. and it "needs to be fixed".
mircea_popescu: lol. and what else, putin just didn't understand how the world works ?
mircea_popescu: unless you want to put it on the same sex marriage idiocy, but this is bestowing unwarranted importance on the faggot party.
mircea_popescu: no, i mean obama fucking up with his healthcare bill and nearly sending the country into insolvency thereby.
mircea_popescu: so a) all their friends will think they're fucking a submarine AND b) they won't actually get torn cunts.
mircea_popescu: the girls just think he's a tall black man with a small dick.
mircea_popescu: PeterL yeah, up until the vote turns out +20 trump rather than +4 as the polls showed.
mircea_popescu: PeterL and the fundamental reason is that he's black and they're racist. in their minds, he's subhuman, and consequently incapable of action, intent, responsibility etc.
mircea_popescu: iirc indiana and kentucky close at 6, so should be interesting
mircea_popescu: right. there were no scandals because he's dumb and deaf.
mircea_popescu: or the time he destroyed the last shreds of respectability for the supreme court, what with the tax that's not a tax.
mircea_popescu: or the time his inept healthcare bill nearly sent the country into insolvency.
mircea_popescu: they also seem to forget the five or so times putin pulled his pants down and fucked him like a little bitch in front of intl orgs.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even knew someone actually ran against reagan 2.
mircea_popescu: ima man up and admit i have nfi what i'm talking about then!
mircea_popescu: PeterL ima cop out and say the empire only begins post ww2.
mircea_popescu: she lost fucking nh, she's going to carry california and thaqt's it. first presidential candidate with <10% of electoral votes in the history of that empire.
mircea_popescu: generally in bipartisan systems a vote downlist has principally the effect of hurting the favorite. that much is correct. nevertheless, the notion that hillary's a favourite is ludicrous.
mircea_popescu: PeterL those people read way too much myspace, which is how they ended up with the notion that hillary has a chance or something.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dun worry about it, they'll fix it later if the counts don't come out right
mircea_popescu: new hampshire traditionally has the early closed ballots because all the small towns can close as soon as all ballots are cast and the residents usually show up at midnight and vote.
mircea_popescu: what, "i make a loss on every sale but i hope to make it up on volume" ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger mind you : he has a 32-25 margin over clinton IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
mircea_popescu: i guess these must be the ones without diebolix machines ?
mircea_popescu: the strength of feeling is what matters, not its "direction", esp not as self-reported by the feeler.
mircea_popescu: hey, given two 16yo friends, one of which is in full "he is totally satan evil guy" and the other "hey, my current bf is buying me a car, but maybe once he loses his job", which do you think you fuck first ?
mircea_popescu: ironically this makes army (at least in the pre 90s implementation) very much a college ; which is a determination i stand by.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as oft happens, they make whore (camp followers, whatever) quarters as close as practicable.
mircea_popescu: he failed to include the "please go away", but anyway.
mircea_popescu: college works exactly like greenspun memorialized : "the reason you are having trouble with this problem is because you aren't very smart and aren't woking very hard."
mircea_popescu: should be directly obvious. do the teachers publicly rebuff students for being inadequate and ask them to leave ?
mircea_popescu: a fake college is on the contrary, one built on the insane premise that there's a space and a future for all walkers.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-08#1563912 << anything where half or more of the hopefuls fail to make it in, AND half or more of the first year fails to pass into 2nd. it must be selective in this sense, with an understanding that most extant fenotypes are biological failures of no further interest or value.
☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: therefore i proclaim her the winner, with the mention that while none of the participants are exactly yet shakespeare, they're certainly much further down the path of shakespearing than the common man, and so congratulations!
mircea_popescu: lly resulting in something like a sugar cube ; hanbot's formal in form, which either through inhabituation or because poetry is an actual and legitimate artform (which seems rather dubious to be honest) is less grating than the other two.
mircea_popescu: it is an interesting task, because the entries all suffer from the same affliction, which is formalism, but suffer from it in very different ways. bingoboingo's has a very formal composition - he's deliberately and evidently put anything & the kitchen sink in there ; diana's very formally constructed, she starts from a tiny base in stark contrast to bingoboingo's all-engulfing endlessness then follows all the angles methodica
mircea_popescu: ok, so i'm ready to adjudicate in the matter of the hallo ween st. elliot fanfic contest.
