pete_dushenski: coming to
a norteamericano dance hall near you in 2025
pete_dushenski: "sham ceremonies offer unparalleled chances to meet new potential partners. “It’s easier to meet someone at
a fake wedding,” says Boniface. “I’d walk up and introduce myself as
a cousin of the groom, and the girls immediately fell into their role. It’s like
a game everyone joins in.”" << no es un pais pobre, es un pais de jugadores !
☟︎ pete_dushenski: Next he was handed
a chart to begin assessing his next patient for
a chief complaint of “left eyebrow pain for 10 minutes”." << lolz.
pete_dushenski: the kind for whom
a pilgrimage to mecca is visiting comic-con in california, yes
pete_dushenski: ya sorta figured as much. if i wanted
a propaganda movie i'd watch triumph des willens again.
phf: same issue with the martian.
a mix of obsessive askreddit style scientism with startrek handwaiving, lots of things explained through exposition dialogue, lots of feel good "america! nasa! feelings!". zero value as
a movie. i mean, there's an underdog character who Figures It Out and then he can be
a complete aspy to The Big Boss, because he's now recognized as an authority
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 21:42:49; phf: went to
a movie theater to see The Martian. i only ever watch movies when in-wot recommend something enough, so i didn't realize how bad
a movie can be, and this was one of the worst movies i've ever seen. snl "you can do anything" skit done with
a straightface.. in space! but anyway, they've replaced all the regular rows, with reclining sits, and you can push the button for the sit to recline. i was
pete_dushenski had to look up 'konigsberg', found that it's both
a baltic port city ~and~ woody allen's pre-filmstar surname
phf: it's my favorite batman :) there's
a word in russian, kapustnik, which is basically
a movie or
a festival, where
a bunch of strong and famous performers get together to ham it up for fun
pete_dushenski: but harper (conservative incumbent) is essentially correct, so no huge shock that he's increased his lead in polls. it's his to lose and he hasn't tripped up yet. not bad after
a decade in power, really.
phf: pete_dushenski: i don't know how successful kesey was at capturing the mind of
a schizophrenic, but he certainly was good at relaying an inner state of an acid head. the movie is something else entirely, but still great, since it's basically jack nicholson playing his only role at his best.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: the commie pretty much hung himself last week in saying that he'd defend niqabists. the incumbent conservative told the pakis to pack their bags, essentially affirming that this is
a christian country with christian values
pete_dushenski: still haven't seen the movie with nicholson et al. but it's supposed to be
a decent flick, if not the most accurate of transpositions
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ustardian so far lost in this "telling your own story" pipe dream, can't even tell
a story anymore.
mircea_popescu: and that was
a rather direct result of "freedom to experiment".
mircea_popescu: that was
a place where very much such freedom to experiment.
mircea_popescu:
a tall guy that has visible parkinson and
a short guy happen in the same restroom
mircea_popescu: and since we're picking on the structure of reality, why not the freedom to be
a different height. maybe if you could experiment with height you'd have more pleasant urinatory experiences or who knows what.
mircea_popescu: and in yet another branch off this tree, im not even sure your ideas of selection would be
a net positive.
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 00:18:24; asciilifeform: cabbie: 'this ford is
a piece of shit. stalled again.' mircea_popescu: 'i have
a solution!' cabbie: 'oh???111' mircea_popescu: 'here, have this broomstick.' cabbie: 'how do i drive customers on that, feed my family' mircea_popescu: 'you misunderstand, my good man. you stuff it in your arse.' cabbie: 'and... how does this feed by family?' mircea_popescu: 'no, you sit there with it in.'
mircea_popescu: you're still free to associate. buy
a building, let your own slavegirls populate it frere of charge.
mircea_popescu:
a la cecens. they can distinguish non-worthy dogfucker, yes.
mircea_popescu: this arbitrary division is naught but naivite in
a wrapper.
mircea_popescu: while designing
a rocket factory that also produces jam.
mircea_popescu: even something as tiny as
a porn studio will not be served by the model.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i hear that not-breeding-them-in-the-first-place also worked great <<< how the fuck are you gonna manage this wonder. so you select
a woman. and her spawn will... regress to the mean. of course. and she'll love it anwyay. of course. and now what ?
mircea_popescu: the problem is that given
a facebook friendlist of 50k imbecile 20something females who, if asked "like to read" and then if pressed are apparently unaware that books EVEN HAVE AUTHORS
mircea_popescu: your working projector intended for
a home was 1k new, their "cinema multiplexo!11" projector was prolly 2k and they bought it on time, so paid 5k or w/e.
mircea_popescu: <phf> asciilifeform: why did you go with
a separate keys folder instead of relying on existing pubring? << more calmly explained, because pgp is marked for death. we're working deliberately towards replacing it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform like what other ways ? you're not willing to spend 12 hours
a day beating them
mod6: asciilifeform: <+mod6> Ok while I work on this for
a while, I'll pull that bundle down. Should have one up sometime in the next few days to
a week.
phf: or that there's wire to begin with, or that he has
a fur hat, or some semblance of warm clothes. or the "sharapov and the bandit part 5" style of print

assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 23:39:50; mod6: One can do this for sure. The idea was, if the user just has the scrpit, and nothing else, they could sync all the latest wots/seals/vpatches from
a mirror.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 23:38:25; mircea_popescu: (which is why i'm kinda chuckling to myself every time alf goes on
a rant about teh rent bezzle. sure, it sucks. imagine
a world without it.)
mod6: Ok while I work on this for

a week.
mircea_popescu: see, the idea being that pubkey gotta be
a special category.
mod6: hmm. well, i can take all of the sync stuff out for sure. will reduce
a ton of code.
mircea_popescu: as intended, every v installation includes
a step where user securely populates his pubkey dir.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mmm i don't think that's either intended functionality or
a good idea.
mod6: One can do this for sure. The idea was, if the user just has the scrpit, and nothing else, they could sync all the latest wots/seals/vpatches from

☟︎ mircea_popescu: to run v in the first place one's supposed to provide
a populated pubkeys dir.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: for one thing, younger. for the other thing, much less of
a bitch.
mod6: will have to think on that
a bit. :]
ben_vulpes: trinque: you might find it amusing that now that the rains have moved in, Hinson is holding
a series of neighborhood meetings to figure out "what to do" about colonel summers.
mod6: found
a bug. will fix on next time posted. for now; after `./v.pl init
http://thebitcoin.foundation` is run, run `./v.pl w` to ensure all of the WoT's get imported to the keyring.
mircea_popescu: it hit all the dumb spots, it could stand as
a two hour summary of "this is
a full description of how these imbeciles are imbeciles"
phf: went to
a movie theater to see The Martian. i only ever watch movies when in-wot recommend something enough, so i didn't realize how bad
a movie can be, and this was one of the worst movies i've ever seen. snl "you can do anything" skit done with

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i have no idea how they imagine the pos digital projector can compete with
a 1950s soviet thing that went around the villages to show propaganda shorts.
mircea_popescu: if things moved < 5% it was clear, if faster than that holy blur on
a shitstick!

mod6: Ok, so I've posted my version of V for some review before it goes to the ML. Inside the archive you'll find
a `v.pl', `v_quick_start.txt', and `v_users_manual.txt' - and each with
a corresponding sig.
