mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i seem to recall a trilema article about stealing a country, by creating an imaginary alt-country and just pretending that's it ; i can't quite find it now, and it's a shame, considering how prophetic it turns out to be.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck they expect to make those pipes work is anyone's guess. "rubber", as fucking if.
mircea_popescu: truth of the matter is, natgas is actually ~quite abrasive~, esp in climates where it cools significantly.
mircea_popescu: o look at that, us-istan reads just like 1989s romania.
mircea_popescu: clean the amateurs off a field, suddenly it becomes something a man could take an interest in and enjoy doing so.
mircea_popescu: cooking and fucking, and math and plumbing, and carpentry and horsehandling and fucking canoe paddling.
mircea_popescu: there's larger mouth film, they do panoramics for fitting dentures
mircea_popescu: well, once pizarro gets a buncha customers toyota might be a good investment.
mircea_popescu: "just because your paranoia doesn't pay doesn't mean paranoia doesn't pay"!!!
mircea_popescu: (it's a decent paranoid thought, this -- that the ban on lead solder is because nobus, otherwise trivial to identify lead wave patterns in the solder with small xray)
mircea_popescu: could one identify a lifted chip by comparing board photos ?
mircea_popescu: do you have a battery of molestation tests at emergence end ?
mircea_popescu: i mean, i can't fucking predict, what next, FOURTH indirection layer ? doing what exactly, it destroys meaning, how can you distinguish between a meta-monitor and a meta-meta-monitor ?
mircea_popescu: it's kind-of an interesting object from an anthropologists' pov. sorta like the klein bottle for the analytic geometer i guess.
mircea_popescu: the "forum investment" crowd build its SECOND layer of indirection. now there's a meta-meta-checker, because "Some HYIP programs may leave only good status seals on their sites and remove or forge bad once. With our site you may check all HYIP monitors of any HYIP. Also some HYIP monitors may accept 'special monitor' plans, may promote SCAM. That is why we have monitor ranking."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know your comment box looks well crashed here.
mircea_popescu: this here is TWENTY FIVE. old enough to be dead already. and yet...
mircea_popescu: principally because the 17yo'd have laughed her off the planet, it's true. but still.
mircea_popescu: somehow 15yo girly a century ago didn't engage in this exercise in ludicrous idiocy whereby she'd importantly sprout off "you look just like the guy the old women told me to stay away from" right before running off [to be with herself in a corner somewhere].
mircea_popescu: "the news", amirite. we talk about how "reducing inequality" and other socialist tropes mask the utter destruction of personal wealth and quality of living in the past century, in ready contrasts of "compare your granpa's farm with your cubical, dork". yet... how about the intellectual contrast ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile in teh fetlulz files, Bikini-Kelly 25F Fetishist "You look like a guy I'd see on the 10 o'clock news who got caught looking at little kids at the playground. You're gross lol. Sorry not sorry."
mircea_popescu: holy shit sherlock. i was there for a few days (colonia), it pissed me off to high heavens. yeah there's strictly nothing to do.
mircea_popescu: "If you need to ask, you probably shouldn't go," he winced. "It is a source of pride among Uruguayans that their country lacks any world-class attractions. No Iguaçu Falls. No Patagonia. No Andes. But there is something wonderfully old-fashioned about Uruguay, and so beautifully uncomplicated."
mircea_popescu: the above also still herping. while dry noodle supplies last.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, entering 4th year, and well... all those glorious prospects the mutual cockscuking parade seemed to offer from a distance turned into so much ramen.
mircea_popescu: "I'm very proud to say that my audits currently are the primary or only review on over 1B USD of cryptoassets. I also enjoy amateur lampworking!" keks.
mircea_popescu: one of these days they're gonna figure how to mount a touchscreen on this ethereum business, and then they'll be cookin' with gas!
mircea_popescu: anyone recall "phil daian" ? the kid that was going places ?
mircea_popescu: totally, that's the definition of psychopathy, NOT being fucking insane.
mircea_popescu: but paul didn't know, when it came right down to it, how to say "woman, shut up". and well...
mircea_popescu: turns out it's not -- poor women however old were never represented much anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway, when trump won the first derping of the female state went along the lines of "adults", mind ye, ~adults~ "taking care of him" or somesuch nonsense. this directly maps, period ie 1880s dinner conversation had the dead women been instead present went "why did you machinegun those nice zulus ?" "what the fuck did you want me to do, teach them english, invite them over for tea, meet the missus ?" "<grin>"
mircea_popescu: talking to myself for a good 15 minutes, because something with pingpongs or what was it!
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:44:15 <mircea_popescu> o look, now it ~didn't disconnect me at all anymore~. just sat there, 10 minutes+, nothing doing. because totally, "the protocol permits", or how did it go ?
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:44:15 <mircea_popescu> o look, now it ~didn't disc
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:41:19 <mircea_popescu> amateurs, as it turns out, are a terrible plague.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:40:54 <mircea_popescu> peripueral fever made the british empire possible more than anything else, and the reason there isn't one today are simply put all the happy tourists taking pictures of costa rican wild life.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:40:29 <mircea_popescu> in this view (which, while not the only interpretation that can be painted on the facts nevertheless very much is an interpretation that very well can be painted on the facts), the required reagent for something to happen is for somehow, accidentally or intentionally, female representation to go away.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:37:28 <mircea_popescu> once peripueral fever went away, the british empire ended.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:37:15 <mircea_popescu> and, this is the bomb : they were alone, so there could be an empire. because most females mated with powerful males died before reaching the 2nd half of maturity (and especially old age), the female view was ~not represented in society~. dick was alone, not merely personally, but politically, there was no one there to efficiently argue his position.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:36:11 <mircea_popescu> because of peripueral fever, which at the time was a 10-20% winnings dice every woman rolled every time she had a kid, it then followed that most kids at one of the boarding schools had no mothers.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:31:07 <mircea_popescu> leaving aside how period couples easily did a week of abstinence, i retorted this was not so, but rather to be true to life : most of the kids in dick's position had no mother
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:30:38 <mircea_popescu> and since i mentioned vice-versa again, some #haremleaks : hanbot asked me if i think the only reason anstey made paul a widower was so he didn't have to confront his son fucking his wife during that week.

http://trilema.com/2011/leapsa-universala/#comment-47349 discussion, "Trilema este un blog onest in primul rand. Atat de onest incat instraineaza foarte multi din cei care il folosesc. Daca ar fi sa desenam un grafic cu utilizatorii acestui blog am vedea ca ei cresc pana la un moment dat si dupaia zice Popescu ceva (pai cum dreq) si fuge gloata oripilata in toate directiile."
mircea_popescu: but, in point of fact, they always end up looking just like dickie bultitude. especially to their long-suffering father, paul.
mircea_popescu: they ~don't mean to be~ dangerous, of course. they really meant everything to be the tits, really.
mircea_popescu: and to briefly revisit discussion : people who aim to tell a story ~qua story~ rather than qua reality ARE DANGEROUS. very, very fucking dangerous, and ~they know this, too~ (or otherwise, one's hard pressed to explain why they come up with inane "really, the other guy is dangerous, promise" bullshit aka
http://trilema.com/2014/the-definitive-tract-on-sociopathy/ -- especially seeing how that's their amply documented and well
mircea_popescu: yes, it "permits", in the sense that it wasn't designed with a view of the amateur politician's needs in mind, and so their hamhandedness incidentally self-crits.
mircea_popescu: it's not like i patched my software to lie to me, is it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is not a pipe drop! this is freenode going "sorry your pipe dropped"
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is this supposed to work, seriously now, "hello sir we can't hear you sorry"
