ben_vulpes: what how on earth did
that get in
there
cazalla: anyway, before
the kids go for
the power point and phone again.. i'm off.. nice pics BingoBoingo
cazalla: can't remember when i first dick on
tv, but he's as old as maddox surely when it comes
to
the net
mircea_popescu: o sweet merciful jesus, "19.
The harassment campaign(s) Defendant Herrera, and
the other Defendants’, have created, and continue
to create, against Plaintiffs’ are appalling, wanton, vindictive, ruthless, and patently repulsive. What’s even more nauseating is
that Defendant Herrera, in conjunction with
the other Defendants’, have created a
thriving business based around
their continued harassment campaigns, cyber mob
mircea_popescu: "6. In 2014, Defendant Herrera was relatively unknown, had a small fan base, few resources, and
therefore, being included in Plaintiff’s Podcast represented a huge opportunity for him." ahahaha what
the fuck, is he off his rocker ?
mircea_popescu: there should be a law
that anyone filing suit for under 1mn gets caned instead, and
then sold by open outcry.
cazalla: poor ol' maddox even went
to court
telling
them dick said bad
things about him, his gf, stole his ex-gf and on it goes, funniest
thing maddox has ever done
to date imo
mircea_popescu: well, actually, o have an idea : need a lot more material
to fill
text
than video, so every lazy ass is
trying
to sell his ugly nose pimples in lieu.
mircea_popescu: maddox has
this very annoying girl voice. nfi what he
thought he was doing with vlogging or w/e
cazalla: maybe a year or 2 ago now, maddox
thought everyone was listening for him, but
turned out
they were
tuning in
to hear dick, so maddox went his own way expecting all
the patreon bucks
to come
to him, but only a couple hundred while dick pulling in
thousands lol
cazalla: mircea_popescu, you see maddox
trying
to sue dick for 20m for saying mean
things about him on
the net?
mircea_popescu: no, it wasn't an original idea of
theirs ;
they can't have such a
thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 22:17 mircea_popescu: oh and in "social media was invented
to entertain me" reprints, me : how goes it ? 19yo f iowa : "dying inside casually. you ?" me : "here's yachting pics."
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 11:24 mircea_popescu: mod6 mind adding
the "no clearsigned material in patches -- you got
the .sig for
that" and "no '--- ' anywhere, you have been warned" rules
to it ; and phf / everyone mind making it stick ?
mircea_popescu: as long as fed can keep printing,
they'll keep going
to "moderation college" for a "moderator career".
mircea_popescu: ~all of
the pantsuit only has one economic utility left, and
that is
to "police"
the web for anything deviating from
their worldview.
mircea_popescu: well what
the fuck, am i going
to pay with
taxed money ?
mircea_popescu: us bank account is insanity on
the face, i was discussing
the (at
the
time still somewhat sane) eurolands.
mircea_popescu: nevermind
the end consumer. look into business owners / middle class experiences,
the net is fulla "oh,
they have
this bank acct
they won't let me close
that keeps getting dinged by fraudsters and
they charge me"
BingoBoingo: The coins are cool, but...
they cover 10 pesos on down so
that's a lot of metal
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's what you naively
think ; but not in practice.
BingoBoingo: So far change for a $20 bill is consistently being rounded in my favor
to avoid burdening me with coins.
BingoBoingo: Further from Montevideo Shopping and
the WTC,
the discount signage disappears
mircea_popescu: because
the per-usage cost of fraud upon a credit card is like 1.5-1.8% of its
total net value. meaning if your account is worth over 100k lifetime, you can't afford
to use a card
to pay less
than a coupla k's. and if your account is worth LESS
than 100k lifetime
there's no fucking reason you could possibly have
to use a bank for anything.
BingoBoingo: It's mostly
the higher end looking clothiers and restaurants in Montevideo shopping.
mircea_popescu: back when i had (company) cards a decade ago, i used
them
to cover >1k bills at large wholesalers, not $300 at
the restaurant. and EVEN SO it was iffy.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
The retailers offering
this are not ones where one easily spends only 2 bucks
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo over
two bucks ?
take 5 more minutes and have
to sign shit ? what's
the per-transaction risk cost
to
the card, ie, if your
time were free and your pen were free, how much is
the maximum card value capped at
to make
this purchase not a loss ?
mircea_popescu: and ESPECIALLY don't
try
the womanly "wisdom" angle. a male
that dumb has nothing
to impart by
the definition of
terms.
BingoBoingo: Many of
the larger shops offer discounts for card payments, apparently in retail
that is a way
to recover some VAT
mircea_popescu: if you need someone
to lend you money for socks as a 50yo male you really have no excuse
to be here.
mircea_popescu: i was like "aren't you ashamed of yourself" and he pretended like he doesn't know i'm
talking
to him. EXACTLY like clinton & friends.
mircea_popescu: i was standing in a shop
to buy a ream of socks and shit, and
this dork before me, ENTIRELY in
the european academic geddup, including
the ugly colors,
the jersey,
the bag over shoulder etc paid for ONE PAIR worth ~3 bux with a credit card.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform people dumb enough
to get caught in a country which requires ferry
trip for disposition rarely make anything like an early phase.
BingoBoingo: Lol,
there's so many ads on
the street for hair removal
mircea_popescu: i dun
think most people realise how close curetage is
to a really bad shave
that's 2 layers
too close.
BingoBoingo: "Come
to Montevideo, It's like Buenos Aires but quieter and less shitty"
BingoBoingo: I am at
this point very unsure if
the Uruguayans view politics as anything other
than an operations discussion on how
to extract value from stupid Argentine spending.
BingoBoingo: I have yet
to meet an Uruguayan who introduced
Trump
to any conversation.
mircea_popescu: they prefer a larger one. apparently
tbtf is a
thing in human cognition.
mircea_popescu: they don't like
to save in
the local currency of a
tiny mismanaged we-produce-nothing "corporation"
BingoBoingo: Have yet
to find any stories of unofficial exchange rate out of sync with official one, but given alquilar en pesos y comprar en dollares... seems probable
there is one
BingoBoingo: Most except
the destitute I have met so far at least put on airs of "middle class" or "aspiring elite"
BingoBoingo: The big fear was after
the argentard stories being surrounded by poor, stupid folk.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo not so smart ; outside of us nobody ever uses anything other
than 100s << I have yet
to see another confirmed gringo here, but
the idea with 20's is more of
them and single one is an amount suitable for what alf would call "human"
transactions.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
the manner in which
they recount
this failure
to
themselves varies by place and culture.
mircea_popescu: to put it another way : women will fail at anything
they set
their mind
to. of course
they would.
that's
the point of life on earth, everyone does it, what can you say. ars will stay longa.
mircea_popescu: the absence of engineers is not germane
to
this discussion. we're
talking sociology here.
mircea_popescu: hey, europe spent five centuries going "o noes, sin" and where are all
the saints.
trinque: asciilifeform: none, but
they're miserable
they aren't
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the east coast moved
to a very mechanicistic "if you can't engineer you're a failed bioexperiment", which makes for a slightly differenty flavour of very unhappy, somewhat overweight neuroticoball.
mircea_popescu: the "feminist misery" as overrepresented in pantsuit media is mostly
the result of urban californite reinterpretation of 1800s era boston puritanism. "if you're enjoyable you lose at life". makes for
the obese, neurotic, deeplyh unhappy "queers" and whatnots.
mircea_popescu: but for
the sake of historical record,
the very
traditional central european "you may not say no
to a man ; and ESPECIALLY not sexually" lands, ie from south carolina south and west as far as maybe eastern arizona, provide slut protection, in
that "and if you end up alone with
three kids before you're 30 i won't hold
that against you".
mircea_popescu: in fact
there's a lot of ethnographic and social difference across
the "nation" which isn't.
that
the pantsuit don't know about it... well...
they don't know about anything else, either, do
they.
mircea_popescu: in
the southwest men will actually pick up (the otherwise very submissive) women with children and parent
them anyway.
trinque: I guess yeah,
texan
thing. dad would get drunk all day,
try
to murder
the kids on a
tether behind boat.
trinque: asciilifeform: what? I spent big chunks of youth idle
time with my dad
trying
to kill me behind a boat.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> sounds conspicuous-at-airport
tho. << for flight were flay stacked in obvious blue vinyl banker's bag
mircea_popescu: uruguay maybe not. but still,
the general idea is... 20s are for inzeks. 100s are for outzeks.
