to keep
the counterparty from whacking you over
the head and
taking
the phree gift ?
mircea_popescu: this is
the aspirational of
the arab refugees, move in work land.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 15:08 diana_coman: ahahaha; logically it should be, yeah; but re "where
to live" - you can buy a house in some village for a few
thousands max, not exactly need bank either so dunno
that being a huge
trouble in itself;
then again, each with
their own problems
to solve
mircea_popescu: this is an important formative element, prolly on its way out for
that very reason.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 15:04 diana_coman: asciilifeform, not really; former requires someone
to go with you and say you can live in
their house/flat etc
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 15:00 asciilifeform: also afaik you still need a saecular bank in
the loop
to buy real estate
there.
mircea_popescu: full example : 1. you find dood wants
to buy btc ; 2. you pre-arrange
time, place, values involved ; 3. you register alf-trade-0001 nick ; 4. you register a key for it with deedbot ; 5. you !!pay sum
to it ; 6. you meet buyer, with
that
thing's key ; 7. pay or not pay, but in any case.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 14:33 diana_coman: I'm sure it's not even
the only citizenship for sale for
that matter
mircea_popescu: have industrial (well, restaurant) strength garbage disposal put in for
the placentae and aquajets for light play on
the side, you're golden. 20-30 sqm of water amply suffices.
mircea_popescu: correct solution is
to just use
the spawning pool, "always a woman or
two in
there, and a buncha infants".
mircea_popescu: well
there's no such
thing as standard acquarium. but sure, keep
the
temperature reasonable, an hour or
two at a stretch, can be multiple passes per day.
a111: Logged on 2015-07-10 17:56 ascii_field: most recently, when digging out
the 'mother nature' infanticide study link for ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: i can't discern if 16yos will grow up into dumb or not half
the
time. HALF
THE
TIME!
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 13:34 cazalla: but her father so motivated, so rich,
take care of of her every concern
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter,
the only item ever so
transported as far as anyone knows is diana's dildo
that one
time.
mircea_popescu: well, whatever
they do. same-day except it crosses borders so next week kthx.
mircea_popescu routinely gets airlines
to ferry
tons for him.
they're generally happy
to, at least
the better ones, if you're willing
to do it by arrangement.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 13:28 cazalla: but mircea_popescu always complaining of
these people
mircea_popescu: dja have
the "why do chukcha go about in pairs ?" "they
teach one
to read and
the other
to write" one ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this
took
the shape of ... milytsia man offered.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 13:28 cazalla: and fuck
them and make babies
mircea_popescu: all i can
think of is seinfeld not understanding what books are. "they're books. once you've read
them, you've read
them. what do you need
them for."
mircea_popescu: and wtf, "let's have no v, so
then use W for V, so
then use an imaginary L for v" and so on nonsense.
mircea_popescu: (for lulz : h in romanian doubles as
this #. because che and ce are
thus distinguished into different sounds etc)
mircea_popescu: polish will get 27 letters ; much like every
teen cocklet will eventually get fucked.
the only point of difference being
that retards, so slightly later.
mircea_popescu: bureaucracy will always
try
to create an unicode ; and
the unicode will never matter.
that's linguistics in one phrase.
mircea_popescu: seen everywhere, misr as spoken on arab
tv is egyptian dialect because guess what ? same fucking reason.
mircea_popescu: nobody is going
to FUCKING BOTHER with special phonemes on
the long run.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 15:42 mircea_popescu:
there's more languages
than linguistic mechanisms
mircea_popescu: grammatical notation is
the same ancient idiocy keeps propping head up.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gimme a break.
the issue here is
that notation MUST BE PHONETIC. never grammatical.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform croatian idem conlang, after
their little war each side pretended
the euros pay for
translators
to
translate from serb
to serb.
mircea_popescu: experience shows
they were not needed ; same EXACT goes for polish
mircea_popescu: not just
the usual crap but also Ĭ , ŭ, ó, é, ḑ instead of fucking z, because hurr durr gotta notate
the dz, ê even and so fucking following.
mircea_popescu: (this is a very specific
thing, watch some 60s/70s nazisploitations, get
the "german" as spoken by cheap italian meat)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform modern ru sounds like
tinto brass paid a bunch of whores from
the periphery of rome
to read phonetic notation of ivan's
testament, yes.
mircea_popescu: "let's make grammatical rather
than phonetical notation because wouldn't be dumb enough just by being dumb, gotta also advertise it"
