mircea_popescu: the manson apocalypse goes as follows : 1. he makes a really happenin' record. 2. all the she-sluts of california swarm him. 3. all the black dudes who used to fuck these bunnies get really pissed off upon coming home and discovering the cumdumpster's ran off. 4. so pissed off they get, they riot and burn down some of the white man's shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the topic upstream :
asciilifeform: at some point one will need a sort of proxy simply to read heathenwww on anything like human os/iron ☟︎
asciilifeform: pretty soon, actually. iirc google et al had a 'replacement for html' in the works, with various novel idiocies baked in
mircea_popescu: if only. but the way their idiocy works, they'll just i dunno, refuse to deliver pages spuriously because your browser doesn't sing "hail hilarity" in the right order.
asciilifeform: let'em 'fix' whatever they want in ~their~ tar.gz of failurefox
mircea_popescu: they'll prolly going to "fix" it now that it's in the open.
asciilifeform: ^ prolly oughta go in the cuntoo-cookbook, in fact
mircea_popescu: about:config, search for browser.ssl_override_behavior and set it to 1, which entirely disables the pretense of "security" in https.
mircea_popescu: in other news : if you run a piece of shit firefox on a dirty box somewhere, and if you never upgraded it as you don't intend to upgrade it ; and if the ever-creeping idiocy of the world puts you in this situaiton where various ssl-"protected" sites are no longer loading :
mircea_popescu: they melded together, because they're such a grandiose summation of the "Achievements" of common postmodern man.
asciilifeform: i dare say that dice players have a more accurate picture of reality than typical orlolist
mircea_popescu: anyway. so there's two relevant episodes of seinfeld. in one, the resident imbeciles (the fat lazy one, postman, and the hipster doofus) engage in a VERY IMPORTANT game of nothing in particular. in the other, elaine's tasked to review a book about this cockeyed optimist.
mircea_popescu: this and this only, from al-jazeera to cnn. what else ?
mircea_popescu: of course it is. 100% of "discussing" "events" "news" and "politics" is this. what else is orlov, moldbug, wha have you ?
asciilifeform at this point ready to expect just about any infantilism from 'games world'
asciilifeform: dun tell me this is played outside of 3rd grade tho

mircea_popescu: they did the same thing with little plastic figurines. "the nation of africa".
mircea_popescu: nah, there's this tabletop game from the 80s, before esltards could engage in "reasoned commentary" on the interwebs
mircea_popescu: incidentally, can anyone recount teh helter-skelter charlie mason scenario of risk, the game of world-diplomacy and international intrigue ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: eh, the sort of wood that doesn't work, like used for eg eastern iconography, is kinda expensive.
mircea_popescu: wood is not really all that great for this application.
asciilifeform: in the oldest houses, strictly.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In middle west toilet seats usually molded lightweight plastic resin, and sinks/doors tend to be more routinely maintained

BingoBoingo: And the sinks while uniformly shiny often are showing early signs of valve failure.
BingoBoingo: Similarly toilet seats are uniformly lightweight molded particle board painted white.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Most doors everywhere here tend to stick, latching mechanism last greased insufficiently and too far in the past

jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf plox to update patchviewer with ch2 at your earliest convenience ☟︎

asciilifeform: ( in the places to which they'd even contemplate, that is, going )
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, I'd never left. So far I am noticing most prices here, where shit apparently happens in Uruguay only moderately lower than rural middle west yet... Quality of everything except door hardware vastly better in most respects
asciilifeform: part of it i suspect is the feeling of futility, they know that the usian reservation is waiting for'em wherever they go
asciilifeform: i laughed the first time, years ago , when i first read mircea_popescu said this on trilema; but since then met whole horde of usa folx who never even had a загранпаспорт

mircea_popescu: "going to regulate" it, check that out, as if anyone asked the dumb sons of a whore anything.
mircea_popescu: ies (as perceived by themselves, which is to say, ''bitcoin problems'') through the SAME EXACT recipebook of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: ands in other lulz, every time there's a major usd devaluation event, a new crop of http://trilema.com/2013/the-story-of-pointless-and-witless/ "joins" in the sense of "flips a bit inside own head from self-importantly ''ignoring'' bitcoin to just as self-importantly ''being involved'' in bitcoin, as if either bit state or the act of flipping can possibly matter in any manner" and then set to "fixing" their manifest inadequac
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Local steak sandwich with egg. Mistakely ordered two

asciilifeform: it wouldn't surprise me, for instance, if one day mircea_popescu said that he made fine shotguns, but only hunted with'em himself. mendeleev made... suitcases. etc.
asciilifeform: and there's nothing outrageous or even remarkable about not publishing something, asciilifeform dun publish and dun intend to 99.999..% of his various attempts, folx routinely make cake of arbitrarily good quality to eat by themselves, whatever.
BingoBoingo: I suspect the clarity of the Brazilian spanish accent is related to my own previous aural experience. When I studied a bit of portugues the accent was far easier for me to produce myself.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, 1 is not found in useful contexts for that
BingoBoingo: After retiring from la oficina last night mananged to socialize a bit
asciilifeform: lol BingoBoingo type1 sounds like yer personal nsa stoolie attache

mircea_popescu: anyway, getting together the material for a reshoot of ye olde http://trilema.com/2011/nsfw-gradina-edenului/ ; in which sense your garden of eden reference is quite lulzily apt.
asciilifeform: just like when plebes invite'em overnight, they see 'marriage candidacy' etc.
mircea_popescu: well... i never heard of anyone turning down night at the movies because it'd be uncomfortable to live in the movie hall. but who even knows.
asciilifeform: hence the 'i wouldn't want to lose seasons' thing.
asciilifeform: possibly the chix see themselves as candidates for perma-move, and evaluate under it.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-07 15:31 asciilifeform: 'what do you think is happening'

asciilifeform: speaking strictly in re 'why would ukr not dream of moving to tropical gardenofeden'
mircea_popescu: i'm not proposing to forbid winter or anything.
asciilifeform: otherwise -- habituation, addiction, 'luxury ratchet' as in the old mircea_popescu article re chix with caviar
