asciilifeform: i can tell that mircea_popescu doesn't pl much, if he thinks 'sounds latin'
mircea_popescu: very. except they got A, instead of O and O, instead of U and assorted idiocies.
asciilifeform: at least ro cut the orcograms down to 5
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nfi why they hallucinated a need for 32 letters to write down a ~mostly latin sounding language. or w/e, if you prefer, very-soft-slavic.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: !~later tell cazalla iirc wywialm is polish, maybe he shows you all the hussy watering holes then.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 13:22 cazalla: same, i wonder if my keen eagerness to learn polski is my sense of disgust of angloness
mircea_popescu: i'm thankful i get to keep mah status o.O
asciilifeform: unless you know how to convincingly paint him black
asciilifeform: the 'let's bring in africa for good rapefest' thing dun do much for asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730714 << you've not been keeping with the news. ☝︎
asciilifeform: whole thing reads like a crock.
asciilifeform: also 'radio wasn't working' but then later 'we made contact with officials on island'
asciilifeform: 'Appel and Fuiava, along with their two dogs, were found last week, drifting about 900 miles southeast of Japan' << lol!!
mircea_popescu: kinda what precipitated the age of sail.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 13:05 shinohai: There are no decent women in my location. I feel I have nothing to talk about with them - their idea of literature is the "Sweet Valley High" series or Stephanie Meyer shit.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730643 << this might be the point every young male agrees on. ☝︎
asciilifeform: lol that looks like a classical orlol boat , shinohai
mircea_popescu slowly chewing through teh log.
mircea_popescu: imo more likely the males will just work and die like drones. indians are rather worthless martially.
asciilifeform: after the glass and 2-3 half-lives yea
asciilifeform: (i.e. they dun wait-and-abort, they actually ~guarantee male)
asciilifeform: india was just unpoor enough to afford widespread spoodje centrifugation
asciilifeform: iirc it was india that truly properly fucked its ratio, not china
mircea_popescu: 1950s it was up to 70% males in some places.
mircea_popescu: incomprehensible how the cuntperl code works to balance the blocks, but it fucking balances the blocks.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman they gave it up, and guess what ? it rebounded.
mircea_popescu: of all these resources the female is the most abundant nevertheless.
asciilifeform: not even fuel enough to cremate, 'for everyone'.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730607 << the same is true of 10k ukrs. quality is not abundant and in no case enoughj to go around. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 12:53 shinohai: Lulzy I believe I have said numerous times this was coming: http://archive.is/hhmZL
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730598 << myeah. lulz of all fucking time ; and note how they're not "we were wrong, obviously, because we're fucktards, so now begins our seven year slave term to our betters" ; they instead "pivoted". cuz saying words is always easier and mom-state will leave the food tray next to room door. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 12:51 cazalla: i always thought we german, well, paternal side, but all bullshit, actually polski
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730589 << this is actually a common ... "mistake" let's say. add to the "hungarian languages -> jew / romanian commerce -> anything but" also the "if you meet a german in colonial posessions, it;s a pole." ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "- Ai de grija sa nu le faci prea destepte ca se mai mintuie specia sau ceva." <> "take care to not have daugthers too smart, lest the species ends"
mircea_popescu: in other ancient lulz on the topic, http://trilema.com/2012/bai-ma-marit/
asciilifeform: where you need 1e6 of mircea_popescu's fathers, to make a mircea_popescu , etc
mircea_popescu: left to its own devices, preteen believes the tv box, too ; and shit it read on reddit and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: the only fucking problem is that the young uns tend to listen to them as if they were people, by virtue of the indiscriminate cluelessness of youth -- they'd listen to a puppy if it could speak, on the basis of it having snuggled with them.
mircea_popescu: anyway, without a majority of mule there;d be no young hussies next year period.
asciilifeform: hence the lul
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i meant that could not ~not~ be so.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that could not be so. there's also fewer cunts than dresses. if there weren't, cunt couldn't be meaningful.
asciilifeform: i know this. was speaking of ordinary de.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ur- was coopted in artspeech to denote a typical or originating example, like trilema is the ur-blog and rome the ur-usg.
asciilifeform: picture if this weren't so!
mircea_popescu: there's more languages than linguistic mechanisms ☟︎
asciilifeform bought a bag of sov-era kidz b00kz from the gypsy fleamarker, has been enjoying
mircea_popescu: and obviously stramula is her ancestor ; stra-x works to denote older-same-relative, like great- ; as bunic (grandfather) / strabunic (great-grandfather).
mircea_popescu: (normal term for this in ro is cati^r / cati^rca~)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, it means a (nominally) female result of the procreation of donkey inside mare.
mircea_popescu: and no, muie never denoted "old whore" on trilema.
asciilifeform: i recall this. but has come to mean also 'dumb whore' iirc from trilema
mircea_popescu: these are, in trilema mythology, universally blamed for young women that miss out on their slice of life.
mircea_popescu: mula is romanian for a dumb female. used in trilema to denote cazalla's wife, ie a female that is a) aged herself out of the sexual market with b) nothing to show for it who c) nevertheless clings to the theory she has a say in how her life plays and d) has constructed an elaborate ideological infrastructure to accomodate the foregoingt nonsense (generally, a retelling of pantsuitism) alongside e) a social group of her exact
asciilifeform: do i need to buy a thicker dictionary or wut
asciilifeform: i keep encountering these in trilema
mircea_popescu: kinda like the dumb latino whores, going about trying to "live their life" as 30+ yos with children. cuz at 16 they believed their mulamothers, aunts and grandmothers.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730579 << you all have in common that you take too long, and by the time you finally concede to act it's too late at best. ☝︎
diana_coman: I keep reading that as necromancer, lol
asciilifeform: ftr bucharest was great, exactly 'neuromancer', sky was even the colour of televisor set between channels!111
asciilifeform: what i pay in rent in shitland right now, in 1 yr, would buy a modest house in timis. 2y would buy the house mircea_popescu described ( per his rated figure ). 3 would buy one of those dilapidated palaces.
diana_coman has helped own folks at reworks; not afraid of it, but not terribly fond of it either
asciilifeform: point being, i want to convert a pile of soon to be worthless paper, into actual ownership of something ( even as basic as machine to keep the rain out. )
diana_coman: "massive reworks" meant in my head dig foundations and from there up; not that it can't be done with own hands, I know
diana_coman: asciilifeform> and you generally can't make massive reworks <- this yes, though I'd be surprised you wouldn't be able to agree with landlord; more like you'll go nuts trying to get what you want from builders, but that's a different story ☟︎
asciilifeform: owner d00d thought he could get moar, etc
asciilifeform: hey it happened to me repeatedly in usa
asciilifeform: yea but when you rent a house, orig owner can fail to renew lease, and kick you ☟︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform, my point was that you will still be paying "rent" basically; and for 1k in Ro you do get a huge house
asciilifeform: sounds like on anything short of a palace, it is less than my current mains current bill ☟︎
asciilifeform: whatever it is, it would have to be , e.g., 50% ( on a theoretical 50k usd haus ) to even equal asciilifeform's current rent !!
diana_coman: Valoarea impozabilă a clădirii se determină prin înmulţirea suprafeţei construite desfăşurate a acesteia, exprimată în metri pătraţi, cu valoarea impozabilă corespunzătoare, exprimată în lei/mp din tabelul prevăzut de Codul fiscal.
diana_coman: it changed in 2016 iirc; anyways,it's not 100% straightforward (nothing is like that in Ro in my opinion) but to cite:
asciilifeform: diana_coman: do you happen to know the % rate in ro ?
diana_coman: you mean you pay a tax calculated based on the value of each of your "owned" properties?
asciilifeform: in usa there is massive property tax
asciilifeform: where isn't there ?
diana_coman: ugh, you do know that there is a "property tax" in Romania, right?
asciilifeform: because a good chunk of the attraction is the possbility of not paying rents.
diana_coman: anyways, why not rent? don't know about Timis precisely, but I'd be surprised if it were terribly expensive or anything
asciilifeform: the puzzle is how to quietly detach it from the glue.
asciilifeform: if it weren't glued, it wouldn't be there.
asciilifeform: whole thing quite resembles the 'silver coin glued to the asphalt' everyone encounters in childhood ☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: and entire q would then be uninteresting to asciilifeform . just like he isn't interested in buenos aires.
asciilifeform: i'ma have to research, but i'd bet money that it is true. otherwise americans would have snapped up all of the country, and there would not exist such a thing as a 50k-usd house in timis. ☟︎
diana_coman: I guess it might be more of a trouble if there still is that thing with "can't own land" if foreigner, dunno if even still true
diana_coman: anyways, we were talking "something to show as to have where to live" so a few thousands, not exactly suitcase of anything
asciilifeform: yea that part is clear
diana_coman: again, maybe things have changed in the last years, I haven't really looked at it
diana_coman: anyway you need public notary for the official papers
asciilifeform: it 'feels' safer than where asciilifeform lives, flavour-wise
diana_coman: go to public notary, what ☟︎
asciilifeform: so what does this look like ? walk in with suitcase of benjies, come out with plutoni^H^H^H^Htitle ? ☟︎
diana_coman: the story is even somewhere on the RO blog but focused on the total idiocy so not of much interest for your trouble directly
diana_coman: things might have changed but ~6 years ago when I tried (got fed up with the seller being an idiot but that's another story) they were positively NOT wanting a bank anyways; it was some 26k flat ftr
asciilifeform: what's to keep the counterparty from whacking you over the head and taking the phree gift ? ☟︎
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 ☟︎
asciilifeform: and lemme guess, you can also 'prove means to live' if you walk in on a leash and owner swears he will feedya
diana_coman: asciilifeform, not really; former requires someone to go with you and say you can live in their house/flat etc ☟︎
