mircea_popescu: yes. the original one : you have to put
a golden bubble around your kid's neck so powerful man behaving badly knows to rape some other kid in the gaggle of kids your kid's playing with.
v_diddy: can you give me
a scenario of
a powerful man behaving badly?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem is this : out of
a billion people, his father in 1960 was part of
a group of
a million, and the other 999 million were more than happy to be coolies. today, the author is part of the group of the useless.
BingoBoingo: <v_diddy> really? scratch-offs are provably trustable now? << Even more of
a Gamble in Illinois. Prize over $600, get paid maybe nevar.
v_diddy: anyways, at
a high level, one aspect of the wager i'm making here is that if
a moron like me can with dilligence and self-discipline figure out how to turn
a dollar into
a buck twenty, if i bring the discipline and insist on the dilligence, i oughta be able to crap out at least one kid that can support me through $enddayz when my meatwot is all dead and dried up
trinque: I would die laughing if that became
a practice after I left
trinque: v_diddy: wait this wasn't
a place I worked with the lotto tickets was it?
v_diddy: actual incentive program at
a place where
a rescued $wotschmuck once labored
phf: regressing to mean? that's
a paddling
v_diddy: worst case scenario i sell off
a daughter or two to mircea_popescu
v_diddy: what, you calculate the worth of
a twenty lying on the street?
v_diddy: that's not livestock it's
a pet
v_diddy: tending the aquaponics, banging together
a new dome, romping unattended in the neighbors fields not incurring costs...
mircea_popescu: that's the measure of skilled in
a life run as
a business
mircea_popescu: which is fine, but it also means they gotta run their life as
a business.
mircea_popescu: there's
a huge market for all sorts of skilled and
a large pile of people who want skilled to mean what they want it to mean.
mircea_popescu: Ferrari and now it's only
a Honda, but either way, not much time for absences and no time at all for Keisha's learning curve. Keisha isn't just unemployed, she is completely unemployable. We can argue whether auto plants should pay $20/hr or $50/hr, but for certain there is no market for unskilled labor at all."
mircea_popescu: "That specific issue reveals an important bias and misunderstanding America has when it talks about employment. Yes, there is an issue about people wanting to work but the other issue is that the global economy is too quick and efficient to tolerate your idiotic car troubles or your imbecilic grandmother's death or your moronic lack of child care (cue Scandinavia) or, and mostly, your stupid health. The economy was

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's
a thing, thick jacket with applied elbow patches, certain haircut, certain glasses, laptop-like case on shoulder, open collar shirt...
BingoBoingo: v_diddy: Mr. Combs is not
a candidate really to lecture at Ben & Pete's Skoolarium
☟︎ BingoBoingo: P. Diddy also did: "On June 22, 2015, Combs was arrested for assault with
a deadly weapon by the University of California, Los Angeles Police Department. He was accused of assaulting one of his son's football coaches after witnessing the coach yell at his son. His son, Justin Combs, plays football for the UCLA Bruins." << Because not even entertainment stars can spare their children the gladitorial arena

a few secs for that build?
ascii_field: or is this 'woman' in the metaphorical sense, i.e.
a bloke who's been to the dulap

a woman in tech. anonymous, as we don't know who came up with this "idea", but the cuntcheese stinks through.
ascii_field: well, as dead as
a thing for which there is no replacement can be
ascii_field: 'Microsoft recommends that drivers be continually suspicious. Is that video decompressor taking longer than you think it should? Did the voltage just drop unexpectedly on the PCI bus? Vista has
a concept it calls "tilt bits", as in the "tilt" mechanism on

a driver sees something suspicious, it bumps the "tilt bits"; if too many suspicious activities happen close to each other, Vista degrades the

a sort of person of whom you personally remind me
a lot, by the way.
mircea_popescu: writing style?" He gets an
A. The problem is that the first kid is strongly disincentivized from pursuing his idea, from becoming
a better thinker, in very specific ways. "
mircea_popescu: Meanwhile, Balboa the el ed major searches carefully in his textbook and discovers the cause was... SLAVERY. He airlifts two sentences each out of five other books, asks for an extension because his grandmother died, adds nine hundred filler words including "for all intensive purposes" and "he could care less", and then waits in the parking lot to threaten you with "but this is
a history class. Why are you grading my

a further step and became bitcoin of 2012.

a community of professional bullshitters, connecting to each other through playing chess and being passive-agressive, resistant and self protecting babies, held "communioty oppinions"
mircea_popescu: you have to realise that back in 2011, the number of people who were calling pirate
