mircea_popescu: sure nadja can keep up with me, but that's only because i suck ; she can't keep up with boris from her hometown.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller women, too, because fucking equalitards omit to mention to girls how they really can't keep up with dudes.
mircea_popescu: should be a misdemeanor, "you puke in public you spend that night in jail. no judge, no exceptions."
mircea_popescu: jesus christ when did that become socially acceptable.
mircea_popescu: oh and the OTHER obnoxious thing about us college towns is they fucking puke.
mircea_popescu: o look at that, activision bought king.com back in feb. guess what - "blizzard family". world of warcraft and candy crush, same thing!
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to put a 50 ft tall poster of a nude woman kissing a campari olive on a drab gray wall across from the campus enclosure.
mircea_popescu: and the problem with this theory is that us media, unlike everyone else who's sane, won't carry nudity.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yeah, that's the obnoxious part about us college towns.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller club scene is fundamentally pimp scene. it'd better be, the alternative is what, highschool cafeteria + prep talks ?
mircea_popescu: that gives you a steady stream of those in the 100s, and then all the aspie schmucks pay to get in and rub... elbows.
mircea_popescu: nah. the way this works is you open a 10k seater club, have 50-100 girls to go to all the CEO types in that city, tell them "if you agree to come to X club this weekend i'll take all my clothes off and you can fingerfuck me right here on yoru desk"
mircea_popescu: that guy picks his pub not by "closest to home" but by facebook ? rly ?
mircea_popescu: clubs DO work like this, in the larger towns. but the lists are maintained by a loose network of associated strippers/whores/pr girls, who do the promotion footwork.
mircea_popescu: us restaurants don't work like this - consequently, loyalty is impossible.
mircea_popescu: back in the old country, reservations worked like so : unknown plebe could get "reservation", only valid if none of the important people showed up.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller there a) is no such thing as loyal customers and b) no conceivable reason restaurant would care. which is why they don't even bother to keep lists.
mircea_popescu: ~the same relation as between playing candy crush and cooking.
mircea_popescu: there is scarce relation between "web metrics and online analytics" and marketing.
mircea_popescu: useful in the sense playing candy crush is useful. gives you something to do in the subte.
mircea_popescu: trilema has many 1000s of backlinks from derpy wordpressen
mircea_popescu: you can ask the ethereum huffers to be fucking sane already until you fall over. but #etherape and a few short weeks later they've all woken up.
mircea_popescu: kinda in line with the diy ethos of the rest of computing. you want to be secure ? you're better off taking out the holes than "hiring a team of experts". whatever you want - take it, don't ask.
mircea_popescu: from experience, "hacking" delivers infinitely better results than "advertising". ie you're better off raping the site than paying the site.
mircea_popescu: Joshua-I nor of modern, for that matter. it's time-invariant, yes ?
mircea_popescu: also re tiny : ro is 15% of ru or somesuch ; ru is 35% or so of eu or somesuch. tiny country is monaco, diff story. otherwise, germany's a third of brazil and saudi arabia a 15% of pakistan naimean ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: otherwise, lightbulbs were apparently invented sometime in 2010
mircea_popescu: the ridoinculous half-afro-and-mustache look of the 70s and wtf-is-with-sunglasses-indoors 80s/90s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this may well work from the "public good" interest, but what exactly does it do for lithuania ?
mircea_popescu: the one universal socket wrench, ointment and single idea anyone could ever need! DEMOCRACY!
mircea_popescu: this is the typical characteristic of cults and quacks, of course, but who's to notice THAT.
mircea_popescu: eedom to give us all their shit for free, and romania really didn't need a nuclear activities agency",
mircea_popescu: anyway, i gotta admit the "democracy" drivel is nothing if not incredibly flexible. can be spread on bread as "science not cults!!11", can be spread on bread as "say no to silly (orly?) power games and ~~~sycophancy~~~" because if you call male independence the bad word it'll totally stick, men are really just a bunch of women that deeply care about labels like that. can obviously be spread as "the people of libya want the fr
mircea_popescu: apparently one of the direct, entrenched results of no woman being pimpslapped for talking out of order in anyone's personal memory is a whole lot of those "that's nice dear, now come to bed" sorta vomits.
mircea_popescu: seems more like fella wants a "nice fort you boys built, time now for us all to agree house is better" sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: what am i going to hear next, that the people of libya want "freedom" ?
mircea_popescu: "Because I mean WOT is not too revolutionary when it is just another name for a bunch of peoples' non-interoperable personal black books between which information can be exchanged only by explicitly manual means." << da fuck, "your working thing's no good!"
mircea_popescu: "Y'all keep mentioning WOT, but do you actually run a keyserver with a published trust graph accessible via any sort of standardized protocol?" << sick burn trinque
mircea_popescu: much like pole dancing, it's not something to pick up late in life anyway.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't go as far as need ; but this is what it's for if you have it.
mircea_popescu: which is why people teach the upper class kids these things ; the rest dun has teh time.
mircea_popescu: it WOULD be fucking boring ; without knowledge of the history etc.
mircea_popescu: that this rank nonsense of obvious source still survives is nothing if not a testament to the ignorant, parochial ustardian society.
mircea_popescu: the expectation art would "move you" is a late revival of idiotic victorian-romantic notions whereby women, mentally stunted by their gender and therefore incapable of comprehending art, nevertheless "felt it" somehow, ovary-magically.
mircea_popescu: it's not sex, to produce endorphins. it's used condoms.
mircea_popescu: mats not sure how familiar with art history & theory you are, but anyway, the point is let's call it "essentialisation", ie, a very deep stylisation of form.
mircea_popescu: mats ~nobody finds it funny that didn't know 5`000 various idiots that, if brancusi'd, end up beavis and butthead.
mircea_popescu: i dun think it's the age. might well be a cultural thing. they're pretty white.
mircea_popescu: i keep hoping the great cornholio shows up in comment section one day
mircea_popescu: but anyway, corn output doubled since the 80s/90s. it can't be said agro tech hasn't improved.
mircea_popescu: "just the corn" = all soda ; all mcdonalds/etc hamburgers ; all sauce, icecream etc.
mircea_popescu: comes just a shade under 1mn / capita / year, which is to say 2.8k calories.
mircea_popescu: check it out, there's a worldofcorn.com website for BingoBoingo 's pleasure. 2015 us avg yield was 168.4 bushels / acre for a total 13.6 bn bushels. corn is about 400 calories / lb, there's 56 lb per bushel of shelled corn, thus therefore
mircea_popescu: yes, monica belucci's longest rape scene (she does one per movie, it's in her contract)
