mircea_popescu: asciilifeform heh. slug fears naught more than salt eh.
mircea_popescu: the bid is 0.00021367, the ask is 0.0003418, there's no open bids, there's no daily range, the average volume for the past 30 days is 139, worth about four bitcents give or take, or in other words a tiny fraction of qntra';s (MPEX:S.QNTR) 1.1999952 btc.
mircea_popescu: for the curious : salon (QTCQB:SLNM) was made by some derpy journos fired by 2nd rate san francisco outlets back in 1994. they "explored the web" accruing ~100mn dollars in losses by the end of the dotcom bubble. it is still unprofitable to this day, if more moderately, losing a few million each year hence.
mircea_popescu: i ain't about to stand for it. the politicos get to pay per line for their existence. everyone else is free to say whatever the fuck. which is exactly why i'm not counting your snr, but i am counting his.
mircea_popescu: kids who go to real college where they learn real science also learn intrinsically this, that to asq a question is to beg for money, and to disguise your questions as anything else is felonious. so they get an over-active self censor. meanwhile the idiots who do not go to real college, but to fake empire college learn that they can overpower their better peers through sheer gab. because "human rights" and "freedom of speech"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: communication to your superiors always carries a cost. if you write to your professor to ask him a bunch of dumb questions you're going to hear from him ; and if you try to disguise your questions as aything but questions, you belong expelled. there can not possibly be any other interaction between you and him. similarly with the other magisters, if you write your lawyer he will want 500 bux just to open the letter. for this
mircea_popescu: ng and today he is the superior i am beseeching so let's call it a wash as this seems likely to repeat in the future. but this is fantasy, not reality. nothing wrong with it, by itself ; but also not something found in nature.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger lemme spell this out ; without prejudice to you personally, here's how things go : communication is either enligthening the inferiors or beseeching the superiors. there IS NO SUCH THING AS EQUALITY. not in nature, ain't found. it's true that people may opt to abstractly, exactly in the way of any other ~delusion~, deem each other equals, perhaps on the basis that look, yesterday i was the superior he was beseechi
mircea_popescu: fucking ridiculous, he's found the dude to play the escalation game with.
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how one could be here this long AND STILL the slightest "go do shit, young man" fails to rub on their wings, but here it is.
mircea_popescu: no, he engaged into a bunch of pages of commentary on the margins of trilema articles is what he means.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: !!v 14DF7639933EDBA02C6ED9C20C0FA88CE94E1C2BB670BE77B7F870598FB984A5
mircea_popescu: i couldn't give less of a shit. the linked article is actually pretty good ; your categorical judgements don't interest me in the slightest, because in the five or so years you've been hanging around you did exactly nothing i can recall. anyone here can write a script to be you in an evening and that'd be the end of the matter.
mircea_popescu: can anyone think of any possible reason thestringpuller is actually voiced here ? i've just about had it, the snr ratio is by my count exactly 0, if you got something i wanna hear it plox.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: PeterL apparently no archived version of the url. is the bot doing that ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: this guy turns out to be pretty useful, an isis "top commander" you can keep killing bianually.
mircea_popescu: guy that was killed in june by ypg missile (as reported by ypg) and in january by the syrians (as reported by the saa) was just killed in mosul, according to the kurds.
mircea_popescu: and in today's free luxurious decadency ideas : when i'm going to be rich, i'm going to have 734 bushels of popcorn popped, then fill a pool with the proceeds and have a bunch of girl swim in it
mircea_popescu: let's put it this way : would you let a bunch of dorks working for bahamas & friends take you away from a gathering of your own supporters ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: apparently someone reading the logs got nervous as to whether they can or can't pull it off in a pinch.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, secret service just did dry run on trump, alf will be pleased to know
mircea_popescu: his insulating random myspace whore from her own image might do me grave disservice i fear ...
mircea_popescu: the incredible part is that he fucking seriously proposes to "keep an eye on kubernetes" ? dude, no. just no. ban anyone even remotely involved in anything to do with docker from ever being hired as anything but menial labor.
mircea_popescu: remind me, why does anyone take the reddit kids seriously ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes holy shit i didn't realise the retards are THAT dysfunctional.
mircea_popescu: as punishment ++, his beloved son rose in rebellion decades later, and to cement his claim to the crown he... publicly fucked a dozen of david's concubines.
mircea_popescu: except a nosy prophet (sent, of course, by the lord) reproached him, so david confessed. as punishment - his kid with the woman died. that's how you punish a dude!
mircea_popescu: so he fucked her to pregnancy, after which he tried to recall the husband, figurting he'd fuck her too and never know the difference. except the guy was having too much of a fun time with the other boys over in the barracks so he wouldn't come. so david had him killed (classical "behead the bearer of this letter" sorta thing) and married the woman.
mircea_popescu: and in today biblical study : david, the ever so wise king of the jews, got up one night with an itch. he walked around on his roof, and spied the poor wife of one of his soldiers, who was taking a bath in the middle of the night because with those nuts and their door manners it wasn't fucking safe to bathe in the daytime like normal people.
mircea_popescu: lol i'm too busy popping in eulora to give a shit about retarddit
mircea_popescu: would be a lot more interesting if roger ver actually had enough money to pay for his gas.
mircea_popescu: pretty funny, seeing how a product code FUTIPEMATA is definitely in the books.
mircea_popescu: anyway, afaik the chinese are a lot bigger on the whole new organs biz than the us. i dunno that there's so much market in it - the doctors generally take a dim view.
mircea_popescu: phf for sure. the one thing everyone-other-than-mp excels at is misusing words and misrepresenting themselves.
mircea_popescu: in either case there can be no sane construction in which this makes the first hair of a difference. really, you wish to know whether the oil merchant spilled any ? because why, in treelogic this makes a difference ?
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to push the shockwave. if and when the pics show up you'll know.
mircea_popescu: because rarely they get to skim as much as 10% of a public works contract, this is from an economic perspective a much better deal. unfortunately it doesn't scale - but in the end days of the empire scale is the last of the concern of the scurrying rats.
mircea_popescu: and also a major reason why eg european politicians take "irrational" measures such as allowing refugees in. yes it's true that a thousand refugees will cost the local community in excess of ten million before it's all settled. BUT, importantly, a thousand refugees contain at least a dozen harvestable bodies, which provide for the politicians ie "modern democracy" criminal organisation a hefty 1mn+ in revenue.
mircea_popescu: and yes they're VERY fucking busy all around mosul these days. tons and tons of "ngos" "charity workers" and whatnot. apparently preteen muslim meat is at a premium for some reason.
mircea_popescu: and also the reason the local police don't much care for it. so they're (reluctantly) pushing back.
mircea_popescu: generally they don't maintain their own muscle, but rely on the krysha to force the local police depts into acting as muscle for them, which is a major centralizing effect of the scheme (historically this worked under the hand of the local police, providing THEM the revenues - as seen even today in eg argentina)
mircea_popescu: epstein is one of many such squires, let's call them. the squire's estate consists of a brothel, which may be obv multiple physical locations but generally arranged in a star pattern, a harvesting operation, his connections to the democrat party (in this case via abedin-clinton-obama). he doesn't do his own marketing, the people running the whole thing do.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway. obama's choice (we'll prosecute drugs ; not prostitution) exactly mirrors the proceeds of eg appalachian convention and generally the prevailing opinion in the mob. when you have only limited enforcing capacity, as you necessarily will, fighting prostitution is unfeasible.
mircea_popescu: they will literally pay more to have shitty sex with inept whores BECAUSE this is something that'll for sure come back to haunt them. i say just introduce mantises and be done with it already.
mircea_popescu: mats prostitution was always a major money maker throughout history. in idiotic societies such as the us, preteens and other unfit for whoredom (boys, whatever) are both prized by the patrons contrary to sense (you really want to fuck a 13yo rather than a 26 yo ? because why, you like fucking walls ?) and useful for the madams because hey, blackmail afterwards.
mircea_popescu: mats anyway, it puts in perspective for the general public just how fucking lulzy the entire "omfg they're going to blow us out of the water, quick, quick, something sexual with trump! oh, i know, we'll just pretend like he grabs ass! THAT WILL LOOK SO GOOD TWO WEEKS LATER!!!"
mircea_popescu: (and no i don't think this is a coincidence, i think they simply imported the serbian apparatus, physically when feasible, or else rebuilt from recipe the missing parts.)
mircea_popescu: pretty much an exact redo of the whole milosevich business, amusingly enough by the very people who hanged him.
mircea_popescu: the entire operation has had the full support of bahamas' dept of lulstice, including by refusing to convene grand juries in spite of police building cases, and in actually threatening police depts
mircea_popescu: woman has an aide who worked with some dudes who go around picking convicted sex offenders out of jail and setting up with clandestine businesses to send over "missionaries" to poor shitholes and buy kids ; and then keep those kids in brothels.
mircea_popescu: (the part where mosul is a town apparently made out of villages i can understand - so is buenos aires. the orcs dun do urban life.)
mircea_popescu: "suciders" don't you know. that's totally how i'm going to list the dead usg agents if/when they actually get their balls in order and try a move : "here's a list of usg suiciders".
