diana_coman: basically
the northerner can't hug you if he feels like it unless drunk
diana_coman: again, pacified or violent has nothing
to do with it!
mircea_popescu: i dunno. in other counterexamples, all
the finns i know are actually pacified by vodka. all fucking irritable otherwise.
diana_coman: it's about decoupling rational more
though
this is already nonsense put as such
mircea_popescu: these people REALLY need a crutch.
they don't manage
to ever lose it.
mircea_popescu: if
this were
the case latin america would be one huge boozing.
mircea_popescu: you know ? "what could it be". well doh. "even males will lose it if
they pound shots. you're good for maybe a 100 per hour, if well
trained."
diana_coman: maybe;
the other part of it (which I don't know if it's just my sample bias or what) is
that in
the north drink is a sort of crutch: southerners I know can act crazy without drinking ; northerners...can't ; so when want-to-crazy-need-to-drink
mircea_popescu: diana_coman in
this vein was lulzy
thing at lesbian club, chick is "i have no idea why i'm getting so drunk ?!?" "you keep drinking" "what ?! it suddenly hit me like... wtf." "you keep drinking." "what do you mean ?"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: alternatively urban hostility i suppose could be
the culprit.
there's some
trilema pointing out how "this projects dweller dude is
taking
time out of his
time off
to fix a bench in
the little sandy park in front of his concrete matchbox ; baltimore projects dude would just sit by pole glaring at
traffic".
diana_coman: and well,
they don't know how
to drink either - no surprise since no practice with sane people
mircea_popescu: ah. exactly how
they go blind drunk at 21 because random magic nuymbers and crash into a pole ?
diana_coman: but
then on Friday
they drink anything and everything and FAST
diana_coman: so
they don't drink AT ALL during
the week
mircea_popescu: but anyway, if it's not female drinking,
then what is it ?
diana_coman: when he was
too little
to
talk I would just say he's fine,
thank you or shrug mainly; now I can let him reply and usually he innocently floors
them anyway so win
mircea_popescu: "omg he's going
to fall" "bitch, go make one
then you can worry about it.
this one can fall."
diana_coman: eh,
that was still everywhere; and yeah, I even got approached when with child: he's
too cold! he's
too hot! why is he /isn't he...
mircea_popescu: on
the other hand, one of
the main complaints of foreign girls was "wtf why do
they spit in
the street!!!"
diana_coman: but in any case: I've never seen barfing in
the street until I got
to
the west
mircea_popescu: this is a large matter ; people don't generally realise it, but
there's a large push, socially,
towards
things. for instance, in
transylvania, my girls got REGULARILY approached, by EVERYONE, all
the
time. "not
to sit on concrete -- won't be able
to have children ; not
to go barefoot -- won't be able
to" and so on and so forth. woman gotta be henpecked!
diana_coman: not encouraged in public I'd say, as such; fwiw I did not actually drink almost at all while I was in Ro ; possibly because I saw
those, who knows
mircea_popescu: is female drunkedness culturally permitted in
teh south ?
diana_coman: as I said:
they were gathering at one's home, women only and...drink
mircea_popescu: man... where
the hell was
this ? not even in
teh viseu have i seen drunk ladies, and
those bitches drank.
diana_coman: possibly same
time, just ..separate places; if at same place
then
they would rather be sober yeah
diana_coman: sure,
they weren't getting drunk at *same
time* as males basically
mircea_popescu: well ok, our experience diverges
then, or at least
teh memory
thereof.
diana_coman: just
that women were usually (as
they were at most
times anyway) drunk *indoors*
mircea_popescu: at
the
time
they still had
the draft ; i was dodging it. people were like ... "hey,
there's
this special military unit, we get whores and liquor delivered by
the
truck weekly, you gotta come man."
diana_coman: uhm, I've seen rural all-sexes drunk unable
to walk
mircea_popescu: those schmucks imagined
they can just check out, europe's gonna provide. and boy has it provided.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman well i had seen numerous rural middle aged males unable
to walk. heck, it was
the principal activity in
the communism's abandoned factories by 94.
mircea_popescu: prior
to
that, i
think i had seen a drunk woman, in
the sense of unable
to stand, like
twice ? if
that. who
the fuck drank like
the brits, nfi.
diana_coman: can say same just
that blind drunk whatever-sex;
the striking part was more how-and-where drunk
than sex of idiots
mircea_popescu: was
the urine secent and
the blind drunk hens. everywhere.
mircea_popescu: but perhaps one of
the most striking
things from my first visit in london, cca 1994, striking enough
that i still remember
them,
mircea_popescu: diana_coman ah, cvas as
the rusian notion wasn't contemplated.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i expect
the reason drunks aren't as bothered by puke as
the normal human is
that
they're so used
to it. so a direct link might be
that
the women
that habitually drink aren't nearly as likely
to clean it up.
diana_coman: and at
the end of
the day more of a measure of balance overall even
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 13:47 asciilifeform: or possibly moar like ‘metafilter’ ( does
that still exist..? )
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729211 << reddit didn't exist at
the
time we're discussing in any practical sense above "this obscure website some pedos gathered on
to exchange
their
trading cards". it was something in
the vein of metafilter i guess, or else something in
the vein of digg, or else you know, one of
the first sites making
the
transition from myspace/tripod/facebook
to
the latter style reddit/facebook/etcetera.
☝︎ diana_coman: mircea_popescu, what would be
the link? my obs is
that it's more whether drink is something
that goes with meal and at any
time or just something "special" aka binge idiocy
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 13:31 diana_coman: re barfing in
the streets
tbh
that's in my books a very much western/northern
thing
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 13:26 asciilifeform:
tho i did finally see cops arresting a d00d. seemed as if for: double-parking
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 13:22 asciilifeform:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729131 << betcha you did it in own parking, or jungle road, lol.
the gas comes from ~other~ people’s
tailpipes! in
traffic jam, in
tunnel, etc !
mircea_popescu: the
truth of
the matter however is
that
to a large degree fain was powered by
the original web delusion, "oh, lowering barriers
to human creativity is what economy is all about". it's not.
there's no such
thing as "human creativity" in
the sense of
the general mass, and
the barriers are
there
to keep us from
the female wail.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it might be useful for
the republic once
there's enough publishing
thoroughput we have
to actually consider limiting access
to deedbot rss ;
that moment is many years away yet.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729191 << something like
that. a gameified blog weighing/commenting platform ; worked as
the ~onyl source of bitcoin for romanians for a year or
two back when if
they had
the sense, it'd have meant something. a few did have
the sense, most are powered by
the same broken rustbox as powers
the strippers and other experts in hallucinary freedoms.
☝︎ diana_coman: as scope iirc fain was restricted
to blogs in Romanian, might be worth adding
diana_coman: well, approximations can make or kill a
thing, but otherwise I guess you can call it
that
then (though by
this
token I'm not sure one won't be able
to approximate almost any online
thing
to "a reddit")
diana_coman: hm; and does
the system rate people/accounts basically? I
think
that was a crucial part of it like anywhere: if one is useful
then one can do as much and what
they like; if not,then ...no
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I'm not very knowledgeable on reddit but I
thought it was something where people asked questions and
then
their comments were voted up/down ?
☟︎ diana_coman: I guess
the "mechanised" part about Fain could be
the automated grading of *people* based on
their activity aka
the "karma" points
that had quite direct implications re what one could do (even whether
they could comment at all)
diana_coman: re barfing in
the streets
tbh
that's in my books a very much western/northern
thing
☟︎ diana_coman: people proposed blog posts
they considered worthy (whatever measure
they used for it) with link+short description; people could vote on previously proposed links
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I wouldn't say Fain was mechanised really, can't quite see how
that would fit

two other bars. We made about $1,200 on each deal (50% went
to DexOne, we spent $800 on each launch event and we had $500 in hardware costs),
this was
the only sales revenue Flowtab ever made. We were
tightening up our sales process, but it was hard
to market ourselves prope
lobbes: mircea_popescu, it really is a wonderful
tool in
the serenity belt.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 15:53 mircea_popescu: incidentally : someone writing a
tex processor for serenity (ex mp-wp)
themes
that shinohai can
then just import as a standard would be pretty epic.
BingoBoingo: Well,
that's a distinct hazard of meeting people and making friends
ben_vulpes: i ~cannot read AHA in caps like
that without seeing alf gesture and say it anymore, even
this far past c3
trinque: I would not rule out
traveling with alf and yelling at
things.
trinque: lol,
travels were fine. got
to shake ben_vulpes' hand in
the flesh for first
time in
too long.
BingoBoingo: How were your
travels? Have you considered doing a
travel/entertainment gig with alf as a sorta first
TMSR venture into "reality
tv" over irc?
BingoBoingo: So, it looks like
the next
thing
to come out of Hollywood is pedophile expose.
