cazalla: mmorpg raids is an interesting thought.. i wonder what race demos of that is
cazalla: i would guess because the last thing that matters is the music.. it's all seating arrangements etc now
mircea_popescu: previously it was rock concerts, but that kind-of died somehow, which i find very weird.
mircea_popescu: i suspect for a while yet the only real social cohesion to be head will be in mmorpg raiding parties.
mircea_popescu: society (as an immanent beast in human affairs) is scared to death of it, these days. i can see why.
cazalla: i don't have egalitarian values so that the minority get the majority of anything does not bother me
cazalla: well he's not special and in saying that, i'm not special, but i like but can't explain my desire of social cohesion, which is why i like the hitler videos with endless crowds
cazalla: so i still read /pol/ daily but i can easily point out where i am hypocritcal on just about everything discussed there.. do as i say, not as i do sort of thing is really what it comes down to
mircea_popescu: which i don't see any problem whatsoever with, but then again i'm privileged, or as alf put it, "rootless kosmopolitanski"
mircea_popescu: anyway i suspect there isn't a way out. historically, the "civilised world" was rich and powerful because it enjoyed a monopoly on trade, built out of scientific and military effort. the twerps in question, joe average, decided to quit supporting the industrial-military complex (chiefly because they got burned twice in 16-18 and then in 39-44, and it hurt badly, esp the 2nd time, and so it's understandable)
cazalla: don't get me wrong.. i like the idea of a strong family unit.. but i also like the idea of loose whores provided the strong family doesn't find out
cazalla: i just see my own anecdotes mirrored there.. grew up in a homogeneous society where everywhere knew everyone.. 25 years later that is no longer the case
cazalla: well i guess the multi-culti immigration might be a start, not that i mind immigrants but i think they are somewhat right in that it undermines social trust in a community
mircea_popescu: i'll take anything.
mircea_popescu: if you feel like giving me a top 5 or whatever most relevant ideas coming out of /pol/ i'd read it.
mircea_popescu: but i could be wrong on either score, obviously.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in fairness what i'm saying is that i don't believe that chan is impressive enough in bodycount to constitute a market anyone would wish to cater to, creating the tv version of hot topic, nor intellectually impressive enough to constitute anyone's thought leadership.
chetty: I been hearing an ad for a TV show ...Dark Web, apparently all about Silk Road
mircea_popescu: but qt was fucking incensed at the time, and i agree he had a point.
cazalla: well shit, i'm not sure which copy i have
cazalla: that is probably the worst tumblr link i've yet to see in here
liquidassets: Doubles is more technical and more fun to play, by 16 I was hardly mediocre in singles at the international level
pete_dushenski: though my joints don't have the endurance to play 10 games in a day anymore so i just play for fun once a week or so.
pete_dushenski: today, i'm in better physical shape and can play singles and offensive doubles just as well.
pete_dushenski: i was a strong defensive doubles player in my heyday.
pete_dushenski: liquidassets i was always a better doubles player. i'm too big, too white, and my size 12s are too slow to compete in singles.
pete_dushenski: "I know most blocks would not be 20 MB over night. But only if a small fraction of blocks more than 10 MB, it could dramatically increase of our orphan rate, result of higher fee
pete_dushenski: can't say i did.
liquidassets: no big tournaments..actually I won one mixed doubles international tournament. My partner I was set up with was from Taipei
liquidassets: I thought for sure we played doubles at some point. Haven't been into it for awhile
liquidassets: yeah I was done by 2000
pete_dushenski: i was playing 5-10 years later.
liquidassets: I've played in Montreal and Calgary if I remember correctly, I know for sure I was in Quebec
liquidassets: hmm maybe not, but you look pretty familiar, I'm almost certain we were at a few of the same tourneys
pete_dushenski: i played tournies in montreal, winnipeg, saskatoon, calgary, edmonton... and golf tournaments in victoria... but i really dun think i played badminton in vancouver.
pete_dushenski: liquidassets would i remember your irl name ?
pete_dushenski: not that i was never bagelled.
pete_dushenski: i'm guessing you mean badminton, but i don't recall having ever played in vancouver
liquidassets: pete_dushenski: I remember when I beat you 15-0: 15-0 weren't you at that Vancouver tournament?

mircea_popescu: i think everyone here uses xchat or irssi
