mircea_popescu: twitch.tv, there's a whole "platform" website predicated on someone caring / people being too lazy to actually play.
mircea_popescu: what was that thing, with the abandoned storage boxes.
mircea_popescu: then they got obliterated by "reality shows", which are even cheaper to make. the
mircea_popescu: 2000s era made-for-tv layer of ever-collapsing production values.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fat unfunny schmuck, made lousy new wave rom-coms. "edgy" and shit.
mircea_popescu: carehehehehefully "curating" and "promoting" their "online business" predicated on "you don't have to actually buy colored wool / playdo to be on etsy"
mircea_popescu: these schmucks actually still exist, believe it or not, "content creators" consisting of a fat dork jacking off to seth rogen's podcast and a derpy chick carefully borderline sleeving her new york writer's boots.
mircea_popescu would like to express his support. and so do you, lest you want to stop eating beef some day.
mircea_popescu: by now, 99% of walkers live off the dole, so they don't really happen anymore.
mircea_popescu: back in the 1800s lots of actual merchants, such things ended with repatriated gold. pretty much drove the history of the us in that century.
mircea_popescu: nah. crisis is when merchants catch a glimpse of the nudity of the supposed "reserve currency".
mircea_popescu: the thing with the glue factory is that when the nags look good they ~all look ~equally good, and when they look real they all look ~equally naggy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is dubious, hence the fiatist's notion of "crisis"
mircea_popescu: one day maybe they get a brain, start doing something other than mouthbreathing kids renditions of parental activity.
mircea_popescu: i guess mid-tangerine term they're going for the "orc again" angle.
mircea_popescu: i recall back in the late days of bahamas all sorta orclands had large posters with local ugly morons "el negro puede!!!"
mircea_popescu: and treasury more than happy to provide them the dollars.
mircea_popescu: the dolarization of economies is simply orcs following washington agenda. they sell dollars to push this angle whereby dollar is even remotely something like a reserve currency.
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder anyone gets to keep a job for a whole damned year.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is the figuring go, "all the kids are healthy and fine, spend all time in school, and as a result every year i'm worth more" ?! more the fuck what, obviously there's more and more people who can do his job by virtue of women spawning and fewer and fewer people who need his job done, by virtue of his having been at work.
mircea_popescu: the only situations that result in that, plague, war and indiscriminate carnage -- those they hate.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what the fuck is this baked in expectation of "aumento" anyway ? what, schmuck sat an ass a whole year, he expects somehow though the magic of planet's powers alligned he is now worth MORE ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman just tryna help you figure out what's going on. [allowed] tags should nest correctly etc, there's some breakage afoot somewhere.
mircea_popescu opened a thing of imported leberwurst, made one breadslice with dijon mustard, one slice with black pepper and fasskraut, one slice with sliced pickled gerkins.
mircea_popescu: (i did have to fish it out of spam, not right off sure what combination of what exactly triggered it, but anyway)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know you can do multiple recipients in the same item, yes ?
mircea_popescu: so there you go, alf takes the crown for home decorating, becomes the new goodbye girl!
mircea_popescu: mod6 BingoBoingo was saying something about getting a closer to original thing on pizarro
mircea_popescu: mod6 fine, actually, trying to emerge out of xmas food coma.
mircea_popescu: well, the paste was deliberate, but i'd have deliberated otherwise if i realised it's multiline
mircea_popescu: ow shit. sorry for that, didn't realise it'll be THAT long.

mircea_popescu: though there's about as many ro.vampires as us.cosplayers.
mircea_popescu: thus therefore, the romanian "vampire" is ~the us mall rat hanging out by hot topic ; not the cosplayer.
mircea_popescu: romania is a small country, and it is incorrect to identify groups by their rarity. a 10k demographic in romania is NOT "the same" as a 10k demographic in the us ; it's the same as the 100k one.
mircea_popescu: it's actually a different demographic. ~these~, the moron you saw in romania, advertise themselves in the us as "having a hobby" in their corporate cv. they go race rc boats every third weekend or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: possibly runs ubuntu tho. or w/e, android, same thing.
mircea_popescu: ie, the orc pantsuit are just as pantsuit as the empire pantsuit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guarantee you that schmuck had a large debt load to maintain his illusion of being "in civilised world" along with occasional participation at "color revolutions" and various idiotic conversations with similarily inane "friends".
mircea_popescu: (the study of masks, btw, is a very large part of anthropology, for very good reasons. not much to study these days, but what can you do.)\
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all guy fawkes masks i ever saw were evidently same exact item made same exact place.
mircea_popescu: if one day they discovered orange paint one cent per ton cheaper than w/e sorta-like sickly white man pallor pigment currently in use...
mircea_popescu: but there's ~economic interest~ in ~actually maintaining the divide~. not like guyfawkes foundation is out there buying ads.
mircea_popescu: and they're known for a strict incapacity to maintain multiple loci of interest. so if indeed orangemanguyfawkes masks would be available, then #orangemanguyfawkes would have 1mn users ; but as they aren't, thereofe #orangeman has 800k users and #guyfawkes 200k users.
mircea_popescu: this historical character, who happened to win a presidential election IN SPITE of the wishes of the media machinery and the expectations of their vat-dwelling retards, was re-interpreted for their minor intellectual needs as "orange man" by the same mechanisms.
mircea_popescu: this is a history, whether you know it or not, whether you rubbed shoulders with the chicago outfit back when they were inventing las vegas and the new york set and so on.
mircea_popescu: um. trump is an actual physical person, an old guy, son of a magnate, bankrupt a coupla times, very entertaining town fool in the 70s, etc.
mircea_popescu: entirely unrelated to historical anything, much like car advertisings unrelated to car, related to viewer.
mircea_popescu: trump also exists from hollywood media for the "orange man" crowd.
mircea_popescu: can't merge because while intellectually meaningful, practically impossible, no mfg base.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the bare truth of the matter is that much like bower bird building nest out of what plastic can be found, ustard also, will be fashionable ~out of pre-existing selection~, not otherwise.
mircea_popescu: in other stray thoughts : isn't it a wonder the "orange man" and the "guy fawkes" memes aren't merging ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i don't even consider fettards delivered to this world in that same five year plan the "reforms" came.
mircea_popescu: today's xmas and there's no contest. rest of the year...
mircea_popescu: let them do just that. "i know your wife thinks you're the best she could ever do, but truth be told a name's wasted on your dumb ass" is way the fuck more important, useful etcetera than whatever else they thought they were gonna do that evening.
mircea_popescu: this is what the internet was even fucking sold as! "this'll be a place where every fucktarded murican, coolest-guy-in-his-town goes to find out he didn't even make the qualifying tops"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-25#1883039 << always a great idea. people ~should~ have ample opportunity to discover how insufficient, unimpressive, etcetera they are. i don't mean "fair" opportunity, ie, a 9mn% increase over what their environment currently provides. i mean fucking ample.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: afaik it's new art ; but then again, novelty in this world.
mircea_popescu: eventually someone has to do something about all the random piling up at the periphery. sad but true.
mircea_popescu: much like the romanian morons imagined in the 80s they want to be "free", as opposed to "they want romanian industrial committments to better reflect their own personal committments [to irrelevancy, impotence and ultimately inexistence]".
mircea_popescu: in any case, the idea was that the thing neckbeards and assorted morons ("open source" or free ranged) MOST associate with "the bad" is merely a necessary function of a working system.
mircea_popescu: 't route -- it all hinges on whether the post office is priviledged or not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think it's underhanded in the sense i don't think underhanded means anything in the context. there's a very strict difference between the priviledged and the unpriviledged position, "only do those things specifically allowed" vs "do all things not specifically forbidden". while you'd expect a customer to only read mail addressed to him, it's iffy whether you expect the post office to read all mail it can
mircea_popescu: oh wait, is the expected format <a href=""></a> rather than <a href=></a> ? (this'd be new to both the w3c and mp-wp_
