mircea_popescu: lol hanbot you ever seen the scary fucking teeth they have btw ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know what happened to the guy who forgot to pay his exorcist bill ?
mircea_popescu: that way if anyone asks me what the cat's name is i'ma say "it's cat ophelia."
mircea_popescu: in other news i've decided that if i ever get a cat i'ma name it ophelia
mircea_popescu: i'd much rather take a new york or san francisco that had a nuke blown overhead ; than the exact same new york or san francisco that had socialist propaganda blown overhead. the former's much easier to clean up than the latter.
mircea_popescu: this process whereby they spread their poison, getting idiots to believe the sort of stupid shit they sprout is the true ecological damage.
mircea_popescu: exactly in the same vein, ecology should cease to mean "the activity of capitalists ruining the earth", and instead properly mean the activity of socialists ruining humanity.
mircea_popescu: specifically "ecology" has historically been a tool of socialists deployed to hinder capitalism, on the flimsy basis of "look how economic activity renders the substrate unfit for later, undefined economic activity".
mircea_popescu: ^ which article incidentally suggests to me a whole large scale recuperation project, much in the way "nigger" used to mean black person but now simply means government leech.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is going to pay the 20 to 50 bn needed to decomission this radioactive waste plant that cost 600mn to build ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they know how to bitch about "nuclear reactors" so that the costs to decomission one far, far exceed the cost to build one. well, what about "feminism", human rights and democracy ? MUCH much more toxic than radionuclides.
mircea_popescu: what i want to know is, who's going to take out ~600mn worth of shit these idiots stuck in the head of ignorant imbecile sub-canadians for the past decade ?
mircea_popescu: " Assests are officially estimated to be in the 5o million to 100 million United States dollar range while liabilities are estimated to be in the 100 to 500 million United States dollar range" <<< ahahahaha. right, so they got ~3mn worth of crap and 600mn worth of cc debt.
mircea_popescu: now obviously, we could change it to take dpaste input ? the only snag is, i dunno we want LONG tickets anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point being, there's a short space in the notes for ticket ; can't add too much in there, so it prolly can't be "update tickets with vpatches"
mircea_popescu: there is one problem where any ticket's notes must be shorter than cannonical irc line - trims.
mircea_popescu: of course alf doesn't count as downstream, he complains anyway.
mircea_popescu: the point is, if something should be found not to work properly, gotta know who to chase to fix it and more importantly, who to scrutinize in the future. which system allows us to not even bother with quality control - check your shit, and god help you if downstream keeps having to complain.
mircea_popescu: also important, suppose i want to split up a ticket later. what should i do, delete and re-enter ?
mircea_popescu: removed from tree is no good because we lose information this way.
mircea_popescu: ok but how do you track progress ? "this is done" "oh yeah ? when ? by whom ?"
mircea_popescu: shinohai let me guess, phantomcircuit works for them ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 so here's a q : suppose a ticket gets allocated to a name. how does tbot know this ? suppose the name completes the ticket. how's tbot know ?
mircea_popescu: nobody expected 6yo could figure out how to run the thing.
mircea_popescu: people collectively lost it and deposed me within 3 minutes, but hey!
mircea_popescu: this magical item that can charge your credit card to the max, has no duty to protect you (you have a duty to protect him). no fucking wonder every prole aspires to police himself.
mircea_popescu: and this is all post 1990, too. fucking place went to shit with moscow in tandem.
mircea_popescu: if your kid goes on my property YOU PAY ME! not the fucking other way around omfg!
mircea_popescu: "unenclosed pools, machinery or stacks of building materials" that present "an irresistible lure" omfg what the everloving fuck.
mircea_popescu: apparently, it's "anything that may attract a child", and outright a defense in tresspass!
mircea_popescu: if history's any guide, fiatcorps could forever buy russia. at any rate the byzantines could buy asia. according to them at any rate.
mircea_popescu: but in a lot of detail! makes up for distance through depth!
mircea_popescu: alf's favourite approach is to discuss something vaguely related :D
mircea_popescu: "the people" are up in arms about this. not permissibru.
mircea_popescu: this is like some people buying cars that take them places and some other people buying cars that take them to the morgue
mircea_popescu: we both fuck the same sick girl. i don't care and you die of a brain abscess.
mircea_popescu: cost is just a proxy for this. they don't perceive the same capacity from "it", mostly because htey're imbeciles and will perceive my cock when it's sliding in and no sooner. which is why they talk of that not this.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes also, the problem with healthcare isn't the cost per se. it's that it distinguishes between people. they have a serious problem with any sort of "reality comes home" situation where difference between people may be forced from outside.
mircea_popescu: throughout. no exceptions. no meta-bullshit. from petraeus to the last grunt, zero, nada. nothing.
mircea_popescu: you're acting as if they're doing that, or any other thing, for fucking fun. it's not for fun. they're doing that, like everything else, for the same reason : they perceive they gotta do something ; dunno how to do anything useful or effectual and so this is what's left.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you also don't have to dispense shitty cheese to a bunch of deeply retarded, profoundly useless, schmucks with pretensions.
mircea_popescu: am i the only one that's very amused by this joke ? guess so huh.
mircea_popescu: or* call girl's bestie "hey you got power ? ok if we come over to fuck at your place ?"
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski suppose you wanna fuck during those 5 hours!
mircea_popescu: medicine works a lot like this, in principle but with smaller parameters. law works precisely the same way.
mircea_popescu: that's exactly how it fucking works. "fixed" by moving, but accentuated. "win-win".
