mircea_popescu: anyway, no theorems isn't it. there's that famous case of my driver whom my mother (who was bumming a ride) asked in shock why'd he'd go around playing valet for a 17yo. he said something like "not everyone's a big deal". man had 0 theorems to prove, but also didn't go around deluding himself on the matter. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: to survive the public harassment.
mircea_popescu: what i care about is all the 50 trillion anodyne "concerned citizens" that got the gestapo so flooded with emails it had to get an unlisted number
mircea_popescu: but in no case do i care about stalin's statistics. so he killed 50 trillion imbeciles ? good for him ; if they didn't suck so bad they'd still be around.
asciilifeform: well expanding into 'cans' and 'shoulds' and hey play the tuba even if you never learned how etc currently
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you are in very plain and obvious danger of going that way, yes, with all yours "can'ts" and "Shouldn'ts"
mircea_popescu: and the answer fucking better be something other than "because i carefully stuck to the walls"
mircea_popescu: the question any 70yo has to answer, and CAN NOT escape anymore than 20yo can escape the draft or the call of the streetgirl, is "why didn't you die".
mircea_popescu: in fact, there can only be a culture if they're not around.
mircea_popescu: the only oranges this scum grows on live in neglected orange groves.
mircea_popescu: when they were young they did "good enough" trucks and software, and when they're old they do "good enough" culture.
mircea_popescu: the petit bourgeois buying britney spears records because they're "like" toscanini and unlike that, they're what he can afford.
davout: my personal interactions with old accountants were mostly along the lines of "no, you can't do this"

mircea_popescu: old accountants and old housewives are the only enemy mankind ever knew.
asciilifeform: or even for the shoemaker
asciilifeform: i don't feel antipathy for those batranilor
mircea_popescu: something in the lines of "oh, little people were great, and little things were great, it's just the great people (pars pro toto, ceausescu) that were bad".
mircea_popescu: ie, an (unreferenced, because they're cocksuckers aka "people themselves") attempt to answer to http://trilema.com/2010/vina-batranilor/
a111: Logged on 2017-06-14 15:42 mircea_popescu: so i was gonna quote this story with my grandfather regretting the time of stalin, except apparently it;'s not in the log ? and there's even attempts to find the shit, like http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-15#1433159
mircea_popescu: the intention is deliberately never stated with these things, but the reasonable guess would be more in the vein of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-14#1670353 ☝︎
asciilifeform: it was great tho, all the things i liked and wantd in childhood, even phoods ( in photos ), were in there
mircea_popescu: what do you think was intended effect ?
asciilifeform: place had quite the opposite of what i think was the inntended effect, on me
asciilifeform: strangest find of asciilifeform's inside 'communist konsoomer' museum is prolly the plastic goban and b00k of pretty serious go problemz

mircea_popescu: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN TAKE BONBONS RIGHT OUT OF THOSE CEMENT MIXER THINGS"
mircea_popescu recalls olden days when whatever group of 14-15yo westerners joined in for a tour of the cluj chocolate factory (feleacul).
davout: asciilifeform: go ahead, i'm more than ready for another chapter of "alfie and the chocolate factory"
mircea_popescu: because one of the advantages of harem is that it'll be someone's bday nigh on every month ; and female slaves means ima be awake before them. ha-HAaaaa!
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 16:47 BingoBoingo: And in other news, today is 2nd anniversary of BingoBoingo's first AA meeting. Cake will be later.
mircea_popescu: is this more of the same "i do not approve of mp, because i'm fucked in the head enough to imagine there my be such a thing as my approval of mp ?"
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 22:03 asciilifeform: erlehmann also wrote in re that lamport parachute is neat because can be fired using only paper. which is indeed tru, and quite neat in situation that calls for parachuting.
mircea_popescu: what's his problem anywa ? http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-22#1727827 << writes in to alf, won't speak on forum ? ☝︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: christ, erlehmann wouldja quit it with the join/part spam
mircea_popescu: i full on suspect 50% or more of all the "work" engaged in at the offices of the various silicon-valley "building the future" "entrepreneurial" pieces of shit consists on repeatedly clicking "try again" on those old dos "general failure" error prompts.
mircea_popescu: does the endless stream of 46 byte error messages do anything ? like in the vein of cracking us in the skull? no ?!?! THEN CONTINUE!!!
mircea_popescu: this burns 10-20-50gb worth of BW before the lazy ass imbecile "hacker" notices and turns it off.
mircea_popescu: now and again i ban them (which results in attempts returning soft 404s, which is trilema pages, at a cost of 100kb+- per attempt)
mircea_popescu: they will try mns of times, 5-10-20 a second, because 0 interest in anything.
mircea_popescu: trilema responds with a "fuck you" 40 byte message. THIS DOES NOT DETER.
mircea_popescu: trilema has been a mindblowing exercise in "common man use of internet". EVERY fucking month a new botnet attempts to co-opt it into the totally-fucking-genius idea of ddos-by-wordpress. yes, that ancient hole published on trilema yuears ago, still unfixed.
BingoBoingo: And for some reason still worse when warm crack is chronically dry than when when chronically wet, this we learned from pantsuit
mircea_popescu: it's like an unwashed cunt, a good idea in principle implemented by imbeciles. as a result it provides a warm crack and fresh food to a whole pile of slime molds, cockroaches, worms, etcetera
BingoBoingo: And in other news, today is 2nd anniversary of BingoBoingo's first AA meeting. Cake will be later. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: basically, a vast majority of weblink remoras are simply wordpress / etc spambots trying to find the xmlrpc.php on kiwiirc.com
trinque: lol, if it were only unsatisfied demand for good things
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Consider alternate income streams like taping cheese and wurst to groin then smuggling into US?
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, "Young Ukrainian woman with excellent command of English and previous experience of Britain wishes to serve a woman or couple in the UK. Little previous experience of BDSM but very submissive and obedient."
mircea_popescu: as to moscow, the new tsar has exafctly the problems of the old ones. problems tend to outlive tsars.
mircea_popescu: but anyway. the czechs had it even ebtter than teh romanians and so following.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's some east/west differences, but yes. not just your father either, iirc i mentioned ro army general who was like "what did you think, i'd desert to moscow ? they're more fucked than we are"
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu , my father was right, you lot had better gear than we did
asciilifeform currently sitting in ‘museum of communist konsoomer’, playing with toys of his childhood, reading various ro equivs of наука и жизнь , guides to e.g. female hygiene (i shit thee not), engineering , misc vintage
asciilifeform: plane back to shitschwitz in couplea days ☟︎
asciilifeform realized, to his horror, that living in this hotel is cheaper than... living in asciilifeform’s house
mircea_popescu: that was last year. meanwhile some of teh organized-criminals got convicted to 3-5 years, and some of the liberated-victims killed their father.
mircea_popescu: teh end of teh world is nigh.

BingoBoingo: Other turds from the punchbowl https://man.openbsd.org/urng.4
mircea_popescu: in other great usg victories against isis & co, "there was another team in the same area as the platoon ambushed in niger".
BingoBoingo: In other copypast from the mines http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/Ih5fb/?raw=true
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> yes. the place you describe, btw, is prolly "bad curtain" mentioned afore. << badea cartan was indeed pretty satisfying. except for that one time i went to the fish shop on a blazing afternoon and found the attendant woman eating a rather underdone softboiled egg with a tiny spoon behind the buckets of crap and icre crap and experienced an acute tactile-olfactory horror
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the german lands lulz : the item in http://trilema.com/2017/jud-suss/ can be identified specifically ; but is also a composite of many different historical personages. one of which is a certain Moritz von Haber, a jew & banker who "was accused" by the local pantsuits of "too much influence", ended up shooting a bunch of the tards in a series of duels, including jorge von lasollaye and various others.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the impression is that "Establish Brazil" exists to let the Roger Vers play at Rio beach by ordering from menu. Actual lawyer selection will require their presence in Paulista neighborhood and acting as lawyers.
mircea_popescu: extra obedientia nulla salus! origen tends to misspell things.
mircea_popescu: then that cheloid gets infected with "experts".
mircea_popescu: yes, bovine clientele puts up with it ; but this because they don't beat their wife and her children into shape, so the neglected sfortunati end up building the cheloid in the first place.
mircea_popescu: mno, they're resultant of female state. come at the other end.
asciilifeform: they're not, however, dropped by martians, no: they are parasitic on bovine clientelle
asciilifeform: try getting a uterus keychain installed in a chix in usa, meet dozen of these types
mircea_popescu: possibly the most annoying version in the usg lands is the bus-doctor. he'll tell you what to pay and he klnows what to do. and he's never heard the salutary "bitch, say what ?" in his lyf.
mircea_popescu: efficient obedience does not come naturally to the peonry.
mircea_popescu: exactly like the busbrothel, containing whores who are willing for you to pay as much as they say for them to do what they think they should, the female herd contains all sorts of other busses. the bus-lawyer, the bus-wife, the whatever else.
mircea_popescu: plox to not employ "experts" not qualified beyond whoredom to anything else.
asciilifeform: spamexpert will happily tack on extra zero or 2 and not necessarily even attempt the work per se
mircea_popescu: i expect it's recurring universally, it being the universal clou.
asciilifeform: oh hey wasn't this in the ceaucescu thread also earlier
mircea_popescu: sister question to "what qty of bishop-hour prayer is required to lift airplane per thousand feet".
mircea_popescu: "oh, nyt wants to save her ? let them. let's see what wordcount is necessary per kilo."
mircea_popescu: impossible to defend king who doesn't order the death of the pantsuit. kinda how trump lost, by not having clinton kidnapped and jailed in afghanistan.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he failed to order the national guard to fire upon the parliament, in modern soviet terms.
asciilifeform: still unclear to me how a properly reigning king can be committed to asylum
mircea_popescu: anyway ; the adventure of ludwig otto friedrich wilhelm, king and duke of bavaria, duke of franconia and swabia, count palatine of teh rhine is well informative. popular monarch, unwilling to flay pantsuit alive, "died mysteriously".
mircea_popescu: king had them sent off at gunpoint rather than you know, flayed alive and exposed on the south wall, as customary.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, the schmucks also had the audacity to go over to neuschwanstein, "inform" the king of their "document". because totally, that's how it works.
mircea_popescu: sylum director, that guy's son in law, etc) declared that the king has paranoia and "his freedom of action can no longer be allowed" and this is permanent, because they say so.
mircea_popescu: and in perhaps oldest pantsuit lulz : ludwig of bavaria was a king, who constructed most of what today attracts the tourists there. as he at some point decided to get rid of his inept cabinet, the ministers got together, bribed a bunch of servants, and came up with a lengthy list of gossip ; on the basis of which, a very "respectable" conclave of four "experts" from the stanford princeton and yale of the time (munich insane a
