mircea_popescu: hey, "apple has had a homogenizing and sanitizing effect on '''the internet''' (ie, the special reservation for morons, retards and other debris finding its way the fuck out since 1993)."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (and yes, in general the same process should yield, tumblr got picked because google kept popping it up. but we DEFINITELY live in the age of retardation, google is as useful for search as soviet mall is for shopping.)
mircea_popescu: i'm totally NOT blowing the dust off ye olde ro chan thing for fuck's sake.
mircea_popescu: the question stands as such, where's the place for me to from:mircea haslink:true from now on ?!
mircea_popescu: in other news, this businessinsider piece on "where people moved on to tumblr now that tumblr went all clinton" is entirely worthless. like it's the 1990s all over again and granny brings you "a different game just as good" she found in the discount bin because wtf is this warcraft thing anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nfi what their racism angle is, most girls to call themselves "thicc" i ever saw were white (a subtrope of how "most girls to everything -- white, there's barely any blacks extant anyway).
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo can i get a shared hosting instance briefly spun up so i test drive it ? i have like a suspicion mp-wp is subtly broken in places, maybe, or something's afoot.
mircea_popescu: anyways, i don't expect you have to or should vpatch the ~data~. is thar what you meant by "vectors" ?
mircea_popescu: i don't follow the logic ? are they that big or aren't they that big ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have no use for the synthetic "textile" bs.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, let them either earn their walking legs or go under.
mircea_popescu: simply defund the entire thing. not like it does anything useful ~for trump~. 100% janissary corps.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: by "cia" i mean 100% of government-sponsored "intelligence community", including all "agencies" and the respective subreddits.
mircea_popescu: in other minutia, i just took possession of ~custom made house slippers~. because you can't fucking buy leather slippers anymore for the love of fuck, "plastic should be enough for everyone".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: since you speak of nixon (whose principal problem upon assuming office for the first time was 'how to limit influence of pantsuits over at cia')
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, no other possible solution than "we weren't defeated by events, we merely withdrew into imagination"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pretty much the only way left to go, to these ~irrelevant~ old men with their imaginarily valuable bolix stack : they're cordially invited to withdraw into eternal slumber, like fucking moses. in three to five thousand years some virgin in rural bumfuck somewhere can quote to us "what the truth REALLY WAS 'according to the democratic party'".
mircea_popescu: i dunno, original portion of the way sword cuts thing seems much older than 2018.
mircea_popescu: too busy whining about imaginary laptops and inane bs like that.
mircea_popescu: here is sound "just like rms", but why ? cuz where's the real one keks.
mircea_popescu: in other vaguely related line, person recently pointed out "you know, your screen+vi&bash combo is almost like emacs for retards", to much private merriment.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: or not see, either way, i'm just saying, "no, it's not that i spit because i do not use ; but vice versa".
mircea_popescu: you asked me if i spit on things merely because i do not use them ; i explained teh reasoning thereof. i dun expect you to ~do~ something as a result of this, besides i guess saying "oh, i see what your issue is"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform discussion wasn't re emacs, was re some rando blogger.
mircea_popescu: if nobody ever tells greenblatt "do not play on monkey team", what, is greenblat supposed to what, figure it out all on his own ?
mircea_popescu: and if you do, how's irreal dork supposed to ever figure out what he's doing is morally reprehensible ?
mircea_popescu: dood didn't "accidentally omit" the string "idiot" in "check out this moron, spits out pdfs". it was omitted for reasons that have something to do with what orgmode fundamentally is.
mircea_popescu: "oh mp, just because orgmode evidently made by a certain kind of idiots to support their specific idiocy doesn't mean anything ; and also, when the necessary fruits of that labour of love start pdf-ing their way to the surface, that's just coincidental 3rd party linkage". how far ?
mircea_popescu: but ~a certain kind of putting~ has ~a specific name~.
mircea_popescu: retrofiring revolver alfie. your not using it that way has no bearing.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of wikipedia : "Almost orthogonally, Org-mode has functionalities aimed at executing code in various external languages ; these functionalities form org-babel, "A Multi-Language Computing Environment for Literate Programming and Reproducible Research."
mircea_popescu: this was the wikipedia golden age, and it left us with "social sciences" and "earth sciences" and code of conducts and so on.
mircea_popescu: whether you're aware of this or not : 2000s era standards of usgtronic "science" had decayed to the point where, running some random virus off the internet was deemed as "independent verification". literally this, "i downloaded a bunch of numbers and a vbasic script off a website, it ran on my machine to the same result as it ran on publisher's machine, THEREFORE ALLEGED EXPERIMENT HAS BEEN INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED"
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you follow this, but the way through which "golf club pattern" idiocy existed is exactly this sort of "automation" : i """scientist""" downloaded an excel from the internet and it spat out in my cell what the website said it spits so therefore EXPERIMENT VERIFIED
mircea_popescu: "reproducible research", do you know what they actually mean by ~that~ term hijack ?
mircea_popescu: eh, if only. it ~runs arbitrary snippets of code~. it is 100% vbasic.
mircea_popescu: orig thread is re how "here looky, case of orgmode rotting brains"
mircea_popescu: when ~i~ quote from an idiotic third party, you know this is going down, by the presence of the word idiot in there.
mircea_popescu: is it you protest the exact flavour of anathema ("oh mp, it's not usg.corporate idiocy, it's usg.academia idiocy" ?) or what exactly.
mircea_popescu: i can't discern what argument you're brining in there.
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, while it can be used that way, that's not the way i use it". whopee.
mircea_popescu: "literate programming" MY FOOT! that piece of shit is the ~exact antithesis~ of literate programming, it's illiterate excel-ing. and i do not for a second believe that the "misnomer" is accidental -- it's exactly usg-deliberate. nor do i think the mention on the original dork's blog is accidental.
mircea_popescu: nfi what there's to like about orgmode, and especially it's not clear how you distinguish it from "excel vbasic for emacs"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-21#1882432 << mircea_popescu believes orgmode is ~stupid~, which carries no further import than this, and mircea_popescu does not begrudge the users their usage. he however also notices that what it LEADS to is fucking anathema ; because if indeed orgmode is in your mind a stepping stone from emacs to pdf, then indeed orgmode is exactly as stupid as i fucking thought it was.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as fucking if anyone reading the logs is anything but that one's immediate obligation.
mircea_popescu: much like the usg hook in campus intimate relationships is "rape", (also as the usg earworm, has ~nothing to do with rape in any sense)
mircea_popescu: i never witnessed this phenomenon where the same young hussy giving some age-peer a hard time puts out unasked as soon as some gypo shows up.
mircea_popescu: "the similarity is that a) you want it and b) it's worthless". "oh!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the one thing that blows my mind is the compartimentalization. "you either own the computer or else work for the usg" is somehow self-evident ; "you either own the woman or else work for the usg" is magically not, because "it was not clear to me dks was the woman in our relationship, what is the similarity between the dangly-bait cunt in each case ?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: it's not some fucking joke, which is why it's funny. it's why these are always funny.
mircea_popescu: now where's the link to that story about the man who lent some money and ends by wondering whether he keeps going back to "get his money back", fuck the guy's wife or take up the ass ?
mircea_popescu: either you own the woman, or else you're just there to anally please her owner. that's the outlay, there's nothing else there.
mircea_popescu: and whether you're both 16 and i'm her father-owner rather than her master-owner ALSO MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO YOUR STATUS.
mircea_popescu: if i have a woman going out who pretends to put out so that i walk in on you, throw a fit and fuck you in the ass -- whether i show up to actually do it or not MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO YOUR STATUS. you're still my cock rag.
mircea_popescu: and besides, and just as importantly : the boy who puppyloves some girl ~is in no way different ; IN NO WAY DIFFERENT~ from the erastes who "loves" some man's kiddy bait whore.
mircea_popescu: there's no "progression". the place for the "well brought up" daugthers of the middle class is the furnace, naught else.
mircea_popescu: moreover, no amount of buying sodas & popcorn for miss princess rottencrotchstein two doors down so you fight her over her tits in the darkness of the cinema hall is EVER going to produce a useful slavegirl.
mircea_popescu: it is a ~fact~ that the empire only perpetuates through the ~willing~ and ~deliberate~ sin of republicans, who ~elect~ to feed the morons.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually found him because (inexplicably) popped in trilema referrer list.
