BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That's the rock band of the guys who survived the moslem concert massacre in paris
mircea_popescu: is that a rapper ?
trinque: good stuff. guess I'll have to listen to some eagles of death metal now.
mircea_popescu: then again the only black rapper i could name is the real slim shady.
BingoBoingo: And so that it is entered into the record, Killer Mike is a rapper beloved by black people and nearly unknown by the category of people who consider themselves "cucked white allies"
BingoBoingo: A couple other typos spotted an killed
mircea_popescu: so much win. nice to have the herald around again!\
mircea_popescu: in other lulz from the nursery, "stereotypes are bad" "isn't that a stereotype ?"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform but the most pantsuit part of this story is what they left out. WHERE is it teleported TO ? does the ship leave droppings, like mice ? << To the kitchen naturally, recycling
a111: Logged on 2018-03-26 15:30 mircea_popescu: but you also aren't sexually promiscuous with teenagers and young adults.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-26#1789695 << Speaking of, Peru sounds very promising for Gringos who like their girls short ☝︎
asciilifeform: iirc orig one was 'to find fuckable green humanoids' or the like
mircea_popescu: if so, why even bother with travel at all.
asciilifeform: would have to ask an aficionado. but iirc the notion was, they sort the atoms by element and stack up for... kitchen
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-02-14 14:18 mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however, they have 100% unaccounted for the time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so as he has much better hands than the rest of those losers he should be captain of the football team.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-2-14#303288 << pantsuit progress, today as in stardate whatever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the most pantsuit part of this story is what they left out. WHERE is it teleported TO ? does the ship leave droppings, like mice ?
asciilifeform: how else can there ever even be any empire. ( yer skin cells can't feed themselves outside of the skin either )
mircea_popescu: i expect it's where it's headed. already produced vast herds of dependent idiots who 100% couldn't feed self without the empire.
asciilifeform: and they would, betcha, if they could.
asciilifeform: right, that's exactly it.
asciilifeform: but the basic idea.
asciilifeform: i dun recall if it was told, which.
mircea_popescu: lmao why wait for the shitting, why not selectively teleport out of colon ?
asciilifeform: and there is something very harvardian about it.
asciilifeform: re 'bostonism of star trek', i recall reading that it is ~officially~ a plot point, that the starship had no toilet. erryone shits in pants, and it is teleported out. this is automatically what i think of when hear 'star trek'
mircea_popescu: of reel they gave the palme d'or to) and so on.
mircea_popescu: much like in the case of say showgirls, the pantsuit "public oppinion" panned the wicked lady, speaking of course with the usual pretense of ex-cathedra "everyone agrees" and http://trilema.com/2018/memoranda-of-congress/#selection-159.15-161.0 nonsense. nevertheless it's an infinitely better movie than all the retarded crap they gush over. i'd take it every time over crap like "mandy" (aka "clash of silence", the 1952 waste
mircea_popescu: (meanwhile, because the republic's better than the empire : http://videocelebs.net/marina-sirtis-nude-glynis-barber-nude-faye-dunaway-nude-lisa-mulidore-nude-the-wicked-lady-1983.html )
mircea_popescu: anyway. if there ever is to be any progress, boston is to be cleaved from its support structures.
mircea_popescu: which is how come a) "oh, we have the dumb flickering plastic from star trek!!!" is somehow supposed to be a pillar of faith supporting the pantsuit money printing press ; while b) nobody fucking notices that the ~only item of any value whatsoever in the whole franchise was marina sirtis' ass, and they still don't get to see that, much like there's no jane russell porn.
mircea_popescu: anyway. boston managed to make "the defining question" be "what does america want to see ?" and then managed to convince the midwest that what california people think is hip is bostonolade ; then took those numbers and showed california that "what america wants to see!!" is bostonolade. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ima go throw up.
mircea_popescu: then there's that heyman faggot with the harry potter crapolade... there's seriously not a fucking human being among them.
mircea_popescu: (and they're complete pushovers, too -- take neal moritz adopting the vin diesel look for chrissakes. these are people ?!)
mircea_popescu: and on it goes, that's about 10bn there.
mircea_popescu: #3 is do i need to go on ? bruckheimer, the fucktard behind pirates of the whatever. at least he's an alcoholic.
mircea_popescu: #2 is kathleen kennedy. soccer mom of the star wars.
mircea_popescu: just look at the top gross, it's a fine indicator. #1 is kevin feige. iron man and urolagnia of the sort.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is there a detectable ideological line in the producer purges ? what did e.g. weinstein make , and what is his 'replacement' making ?
mircea_popescu: it starts with "i don't drink alcohol." once you hear that, you know what you're dealing with pretty much.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, they're already there. have been, for decade+. you should see the shitheads doing the "mega franchises", jesus fuck i wouldn't have the misery in my house.
asciilifeform: i.e. when they start installing the ideologically-correct replacement producers
mircea_popescu: imagine the absurdity, a producer losing his job for fucking women unasked!
asciilifeform: the entertaining part will be act-2 of that play
mircea_popescu: heck, they're even dekulakizing producers these days!
mircea_popescu: somehow, notwithstanding how san fernando valley dominated hollywood for half of the 80s and most of the 90s, the mpaa still reflects "the movie industry" views of state st, rather than either hollywood or porn valley.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-26 01:44 hanbot: mpaa sez topless grocery expentitures are illegal!
mircea_popescu: yet consider something like http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-26#319650 : who would you say came up with "startrek folk wear pantsuits LIKE THIS" ? it's 100% a boston notion of the world and people in it.
asciilifeform: ever listen to those z80 micro tapes in '80s
mircea_popescu: (obviously i was using a metaphore, i don't actually do the watching as such.)
asciilifeform: i actually did this for shitware-analysis
mircea_popescu: but i have no faith in the process.
mircea_popescu: the principle is not without merit. if you convert sufficient gb of firefox cache into avi and watch them, eventually you end up with something that convincingly argues to you it's a clue.
mircea_popescu: you recall our discussion re the mechanical dragonfly, and how you proposed the eye may simply have a low pass filter find the flies ?
asciilifeform: but admittedly i only have naked eye observation. i have not the first notion re what they dream.
mircea_popescu: again, mecca to live or mecca to dream ?
asciilifeform: all i know is where their 'mecca', for king and slave alike, seems to be -- not in the frozen old puritanistan , but in sf
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet any of the us aspie class who aren't firmly head-based on state st.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how familiar you are at all with cultural trends in that uneasy federal empire of entirely uncommunicating groups, but does eg greenspun sound cali to you AT ALL ?
asciilifeform: afaik mit is already hollowed out by termites; observe that google/palantir/rest of the squid are not based in 'media lab' but in the west.
mircea_popescu: they are made in sf-istan by the "we are the premiere" idiots.
asciilifeform: right, but they did make a switch from 'salvation through prayer' to 'salvation through wunderwaffen'. and these are, nominally, made in svistan
mircea_popescu: i dunno, it's a complex matter. but my read on the whole shebang was "hey, californian dumb beach babes, this is what's good and proper, isn't it what you believe ?" "duh".
asciilifeform: somehow i thought they moved it west, like su moved capital to moscow from peterburg
mircea_popescu: but you'd have met a lot more tru believers going 500 miles north than 5k miles west.
mircea_popescu: pantsuit is actually more like boston than cali. imo it's an interesting case of parasitosis.
asciilifeform: ( hey phf , how is kanzureistan this time of year ? ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: i haven't even been to west usa, even.
mircea_popescu: but you also aren't sexually promiscuous with teenagers and young adults. ☟︎
asciilifeform: somehow i never actually met the 'troo believers', only the cynical распил profiting folx
mircea_popescu: ("ever" is, obviously, an overstatement -- idiocy aint' about to go away. but in our lifetimes, that utopia's not showing up again.)
mircea_popescu: there was a time, a decade or two, when pantsuit actually thought the kingdom of their father's upon us. remember that ?
mircea_popescu: that whole 2000s pantsuit "hopes and dreams" pie in the sky / end of history scenario took the bath of all time, and it ain't ever coming back.
mircea_popescu: anyway, whole point of the idiocy was "JUST LIEK STARTREK!!!" cachet.
asciilifeform: in that sense sure.
mircea_popescu: then they also had "computers".
mircea_popescu: luserdom had no business touching computer at any sense. it's as dead today as it was in 1818.
asciilifeform: and 'dead' is not quite how i'd describe a thing that's mostly replaced the actual comp for all of luserdom
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unsurprising, considering the ~complete disappearance of pnoje iron where luser could load own soft
mircea_popescu: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/04/ubuntu-unity-is-dead-desktop-will-switch-back-to-gnome-next-year/ << apparently even the dumbest of the dumb have known (for a year!) that "tablets" are ~dead and phones are going back to nintendo.
asciilifeform: recall the gc discussion . 'scripting lang is one where progy dun live long enuff to need gc' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: should be a pretty decent uni application / tech employment interview question. "explain the difference between bash and perl."
mircea_popescu: you know, i think i published A NUMBER OF bashens that never crash. or is bash not perl ?
mircea_popescu: basically this is immutable computering.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck could a browser do with gb's worth of "cache", system has a swap. what's the swap for, so that redditards reimplement the fs in js ?
mircea_popescu considers converting it to avi and just watching the five hours' worth.
mircea_popescu: aaand in other batshit, i am dissecting this system whose .mozilla directory is... 1.7GB. THREE CDS. what the fuck intricacy of prophylactic detail could possibly be stored there!
mircea_popescu: re http://trilema.com/2018/the-rivers-of-blood-article-or-the-lordship-list-fifth-year/ << spyked ave1 do you even want to be l1'd ? ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if a preoccupation with the self becomes an escapist technique to deal with frustration borne of lack of experience.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-21 01:37 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but in the same vein of "hard problems, if you're new here", you know the two trains and fly one im sure
mircea_popescu has seen these two, (a preoccupation with subjective mental acuity, "iq" and "energization" etc) and (complete inadherence to trivial problems, a la http://btcbase.org/log/2014-11-21#930269 ) so often and repeatedly they really seem the same item. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: https://steemit.com/introducemyself/@anonymint/introspection-interlude << in other bizarre. maybe someone point out to the dude that there's a 2 and a 5 in any 10, and since the 5 is in short supply n! will have one zero for each 5, two for each 25 and 3 for each 625, meaning 1000! will have 200 + 80 + 1. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-03-19 15:38 asciilifeform discovered '2g shutdown'(tm)(r) the hard way -- fallback modem quit working.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-19#1788278 << i've discovered similar, my 3g phone barely has signal and doesn't last more than a day in san francisco. presumably because the number of 3g supporting towers is significantly lower here ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-03-25 21:37 mircea_popescu: phf plox to redirect www
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-25#1789645 << redirect what to what? or you mean add www. to domain? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: well that tears it then.
hanbot: and i'm not even in the us.
mircea_popescu: anything BUT the useful. what "united states", call it grandstanding pointlessness and be done.
