mircea_popescu: so he's not eschewing anything, he's just as pantsuit as
the pantsuited hilarity herself.
mircea_popescu: but i am convinced
that strictly, very and absolutely strictly
the only reason why mr adrian crisan is spending his afternoon writing up
that and
then xeroxing it in preference of say "editing wikipedia" or "working for google" as a "moderator" is
that he does not perceive how
the later would deliver him more usg empire per unit effort
than
the former.
mircea_popescu: the dedication of
the imperial peons is remarkable, worthy of a greater goal as it may find itself.
mircea_popescu: so
to get back
to mr crisan quoted above :
the reason he isn't sitting atop a computer/car/hairblower/starbucks coffee cup is
that he doesn't yet understand HOW such item would forward / is requisite for his notion of "a republic" == usgstan. because
that is ABSOLUTELY ALL he is interested in, and will give no half a spare cycle
to any other consideration, period and fuck you.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this understanding is judicious : unless "the state" manages
to get dosh out of india or whatever
the fuck
to pay living wages for people at home
to be "british citizens"
there ain't gonna be no fucken empire!
mircea_popescu: (dude's idea of
the progressive republic
that
the reactionary evil men don't let good folk build is a state where it's illegal
to pay your debts. his wife inquires whence will people be paid [because evidently everyone's employed by
the state, it is after all 1880s romania], and he says
that's
the state's fucking problem, what's it for!)
mircea_popescu: LEONIDA (în luptă cu somnul):
Treaba statului, domnule, el ce grije are? pentru ce-l avem pe el? e datoria lui să-ngrijească să aibă oamenii lefurile la vreme..."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the winner part for
this discussion being "EFIMIȚA: Dacă n-o mai plăti niminea bir, soro, de unde or să aibă cetățenii leafă?
mircea_popescu: you might greatly enjoy conu leonida fata cu reactiunea btw, ever read
that one ?
mircea_popescu: well, litmi as
the researcher decides. but
to my eyes,
the simple fact
that he imagines
this is how democracy works as a statal matter ("dragi concetateni" is "beloved fellow citizens", ie smacking very much of "les
trois glorieuses", not
that he'd know) is enough.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am laughing at him because of many other
things ; included among
them
that he DIDNT eschew buying comp, simply did not understand what it was.
mircea_popescu: Dragi concetateni, Dupa cum stiti OTV-ul are campanie de culegere de semnaturi in sprijinul legii Cojocaru in cadrul emisiunii lui
Tudor Barbu : "Se intimpla acum". Am pornit din proprie initiativa o mica campanie pe Bd. Gh. Lazar pentru ca sunt blocuri
turn cu multe familii pe scara desi [...]
mircea_popescu: i doubt it's
that. i suspect orc simply did not know what
this wordprocessor
thing is.
mircea_popescu: why ? why would a dude
too dumb
to distinguish facebook from
the internet do
this ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i had no fucking idea, back in 2010, what a big deal a random photograph of mailboix spam will become in not even a decade. but it IS a huge deal. consider --
that guy, who IS NOT
the proponent, WROTE!!! by hand!!! ie just like
http://trilema.com/2017/of-ducks-and-lameness/ !! so as
to stuff my mailbox with xerocopies.
mircea_popescu: similarily, we imagine
the usg is a
thing, independent and of itself, rather
than correctly understanding "usg is
the PRODUCT of what
the orcs will believe, very much in
the
http://trilema.com/2014/la-florida-and-other-places/ sense ; usg is what's left after all
the items impossible as far as orcs are concerned were removed ; much like byzantium was "what's left after we eliminated everything
the bulgarians wouldn't buy".

this is how it manages
the inapproximable "whisks" of meaning
that latin-style
then has so much
trouble noting down.
mircea_popescu: it's a very similar disbelief
to
the "what
the fuck makes epitelial cells admit ringworm?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: very ethnologically interesting, but WHAT
the fuck makes
the orcs produce
these ?
a111: Logged on 2016-01-28 12:46 asciilifeform: i do wonder, do
the 'basic income' folks simply not understand
the hierarchical role of money? or
think
that it can be magicked away? or do not, but lie about it ?
mircea_popescu: HOW exactly
they do
this is incomprehensible. but consider : guy who was 3rd echelon politruk under shoemaker ; guy who was
too dumb / poorly connected
to make anything of
the 90s, resurfaces in 2010! with a "proposal" which consists of "here's
this adaptation of usg-isms as i understand
them".
mircea_popescu: this is straight "living wage"-ism deployed by old marginal ro orc politruk
trying
to get back on horse.
trinque: yep,
trb node with
the mighty banhammer vpatch
trinque: heh, cups was not set
to start at boot, and
the box's uptime was so long I never noticed
trinque will run it within
the hour
trinque: danielpbarron: hm, didn't get a printout. possibly
that didn't come back up on
the new drive.
jhvh1: danielpbarron:
The operation succeeded.
danielpbarron: !~later
tell
trinque what's
the eta on deedbot withdraw?
BingoBoingo: The meeting I have been frequenting occurs in giant catholic church, Dracaena
trees outside
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Mostly
the same
things. Family, work,
trudging
the walk
that is life,
the programs, etc
BingoBoingo: Also like back home
they celebrate sober birthdays with various
treats. So far
there have been delicious brownies and giant chocolates
BingoBoingo: Well,
they keep
the opening ceremonies short,
there are no
time limits on speaking, and
the meeting ends when everyone who wanted
to speaks. Other
than
the lack of
time pressure much more
the same
than different.
BingoBoingo: La
Tienda Inglesia, wonderful source of food. Local fereterias... dismal affairs.
BingoBoingo: Also,
the local accent is beginning
to break into discrete works as opposed
to noise.
The epic 2.5-3 hour AA meetings here have been an invaluable opportunity
to listen
to a variety of local speakers one at a
time.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: The hostel is far emptier, may start filling up again later in
the week.
BingoBoingo: So far so fun. Gradually shifting from cold contacting
to contacting
the referred.
The weather is still unbeatable, and
the Brazilian stoners have departed.
BingoBoingo: En otra cosas: A meeting scheduled for
tomorrow morning y entonces
the venezualas have referred another firm, meeting
to be scheduled
ben_vulpes: they even
talk about never having vetted 'crypto-' related securities!
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu forgoing
the opportunity
to cane
the sec? will wonders never cease!
mircea_popescu: which, amusingly, is less
than rando spammer above managed.

the sad
thing re nfs co, is
that it is in fact a kolhoz, quite like amazon's and
the rest, but more ancient and built by actual men, vs 'millenial' scum, and so it actually ~works~, and delivers on
the promise -- you don't own your hdd, BUT you never have
to go down from a dead hdd; you own no ip; BUT no ddos; etc. it however IS STILL A KOLHOZ , with
the complacency and inevitable day of doom
that comes with
this. )
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 14:20 asciilifeform: and neither of
these is a bug, or will ever be fixed, nfs co’s. ddosproofing relies on
the dynamic ip shenanigans
a111: Logged on 2017-10-03 03:05 asciilifeform:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719979 << gotta appreciate
this peculiar fact : asciilifeform used nfs co. service since 2007. not misprint : a decade sharp as of a few mo. ago. with ZERO MAINTENANCE and ZERO hassle and ~zero downtime and laughed at GB/s ddoses and do i have
to go on ?
mircea_popescu: wtf nonsense dns do
these people use ? dig doesn't produce an ip ?!
mircea_popescu: o wow check it out,
this was pretty advanced (class names randomgenerated strings
to fool google etc)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bw $$$.
they're very sensitive
to it, best way
to hurt
them.
mircea_popescu: it redirected me
to some kind of "option
trading" scamsite.
