mircea_popescu: it was almost entirely built late 60s and throughout 70s, and populated
as it was built.
mircea_popescu:
as a kid what i did with my time was that i ran up three flights of stairs to drink (straight from the faucet, who the everloving fuck has the time or the patience for glasses!) a stomachfull of water, then run back down and keep fucking running.

mircea_popescu: doesn't pay
as much
as... BingoBoingo you know that line, "it doesn't profit a man nothing to lose his soul for the whole world... but for Wales ??!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know. but i sure
as fuck am not contemplating "a woman for every man and who cares what she looks like" nonsense.

mircea_popescu: phf word. numerous stories,
as far
as eu was concerned, us were a sort of you know, haitians.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no such thing
as restaurant outside of paris, vienna, and a few more.
mircea_popescu: a lot of smarter folk put A LOT more work than i ever did into "modern computing plarform" and didn't get
as much out of it.
mircea_popescu: this is a revelation ticos, for instance, by and large never achieved ; and you will be surprised if you examine young slavegirl hopefuls, in that they also, do not see the world
as mere covers stretched on a numeric structure.
ben_vulpes: some yes! monetization algorithms get the humans to do a lot of the work

as i understand some of those videos are actually algorithmically generated?
ben_vulpes: lol right, salary last time i checked

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i guess if all the "exclusive gated community" schmucks weren't so schmucky thery could have a delegated hunter, get your steak in the mail by 10am. << In old country missouri village of "Town and Country" licenses hunters, but only
as far
as reducing the traffic hazard posed.
mircea_popescu: but in temperate zone, really, ima pay to freeze that much meat for months so
as to have month-old meat for months ? BUT I DUN WANNA!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i am in hunter mode, applying numeric factor of 2x to 9x
as need be.
mircea_popescu: but in general -- the duck is harder shooting, because pheasant is dumb
as rocks, will let you come close enough to fucking arrow it to death. duck will not. but with modern rifles this isn't a problem.
mircea_popescu used to go just about now, for river ducks. early to mid december, when it snows a little and
as aresult warms.
mod6: It warms up when it snows (
as it's cloudy), so it's at least 15 degrees warmer than yesterday. Tradeoffs :]
mircea_popescu: the polychinelle's secret about people is that everyone wants a new friend just
as much
as you do, if not more. makes things easier.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do. find an upmarket steakhouse, take her for lunch (not dinner) one day at her convenience. this isn't in any sense sexual ; but it is a good idea to leverage the environment to impress upon the help that it is indeed a very good idea to be
as helpful
as humanly possible.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the consultadora has begun the work of massaging a bank account out of Itau which apparently is impossible for estadosunidense
as private individuals, but no problem for business individuals.
BingoBoingo: Plastifuzz has great utility
as cloth for dusting, but that property makes me disinclined to cloth self with plastifuzz

as opposed to noise. The epic 2.5-3 hour AA meetings here have been an invaluable opportunity to listen to a variety of local speakers one at a time.
mircea_popescu: now if that 7k bathrobe came with priviledge affixed, such
as ye caftans of ye olde sultans did, it'd be one thing.
mircea_popescu: anyuay, the quoted piece from a 1990s bit from a local landlord.
as such it reflects the predominantly hopeful mood of the landed gentry at the time "yes, it's a downturn portion of a cycle but that's what cycles are".
mircea_popescu: the "web 2.0" "mobile" etc "revolutions" however failed to catch, so its port is getting sanded
as we speak.
mircea_popescu: but
as the old saying goes, "if anyobne's selling it, you don't want to buy it".
mircea_popescu: the "lottery" theory is very much in the vein of "when one is born male, one gets advantages", ie, statistical retrofitting. the past 30 years have well proven that there's no causality there -- yes people who were born male i nthe past also coincidentally later developped into enviable positions. but the maleness was not germane,
as proven by the sad scum that is just
as biologically male born these days, and holds all the p
mircea_popescu: "really feeling"
as opposed to, importantly, "not really" feeling. it's a matter of degree not of reality that's being spoken to

mircea_popescu: yes well. flamethrower effectual when enemy pinned down, such
as in bunker, pillbox or clearing trenches.
mircea_popescu: or... wait for train to almost pull in, shoot, keep mental bets between your multiple personalities
as to whether falling into pit from pressure of squirming mob will do more damage than gunfire./
mircea_popescu: incidentally, speaking of orc techs, could oyu believe that schmuck in new york ? so... in preference of walking into gun shop, buying gun, killing half the town, this dude "made" bomb, which sure
as fuck cost more than a walk-in in terms of effort and more than a grand in terms of dough, to... burn himself with it.
mircea_popescu: but it sure is ~actually~ transgressive,
as opposed to expectedly.
mircea_popescu: suppose you're 16yo girl. are you going to a) tell your mom you hate her, which is transgressive except for how she read you were gonna do that in a book when you were 6 ; or b) join isis so
as to shoot your classmate in the face by the time you're both 24 ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because youth is fundamentally transgressive
as part of what it even fucking means.
mircea_popescu: it's what they do 10-20 years before beaching over on okcupid,
as best
as my xenomorph psychology studies dept can explain
mircea_popescu:
as to the above : these are marginal schmucks! their only chance to matter is to go be meaningful in faraway lands.
mircea_popescu: ned for that yudkowsky character and just
as so following.
mircea_popescu: he doesn't specifically care if it's 1500s german peasant life, ie, outright medieval peonage. just

☟︎ mircea_popescu: above and besides the "worker's paradise"
as described in badly penned fiction of the recently literate cca 1910s.
mircea_popescu: so he's not eschewing anything, he's just
as pantsuit
as the pantsuited hilarity herself.
mircea_popescu: but i am convinced that strictly, very and absolutely strictly the only reason why mr adrian crisan is spending his afternoon writing up that and then xeroxing it in preference of say "editing wikipedia" or "working for google"
as a "moderator" is that he does not perceive how the later would deliver him more usg empire per unit effort than the former.
mircea_popescu: the dedication of the imperial peons is remarkable, worthy of a greater goal
as it may find itself.
mircea_popescu: well, litmi
as the researcher decides. but to my eyes, the simple fact that he imagines this is how democracy works
as a statal matter ("dragi concetateni" is "beloved fellow citizens", ie smacking very much of "les trois glorieuses", not that he'd know) is enough.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i had no fucking idea, back in 2010, what a big deal a random photograph of mailboix spam will become in not even a decade. but it IS a huge deal. consider -- that guy, who IS NOT the proponent, WROTE!!! by hand!!! ie just like
http://trilema.com/2017/of-ducks-and-lameness/ !! so
as to stuff my mailbox with xerocopies.
mircea_popescu: similarily, we imagine the usg is a thing, independent and of itself, rather than correctly understanding "usg is the PRODUCT of what the orcs will believe, very much in the
http://trilema.com/2014/la-florida-and-other-places/ sense ; usg is what's left after all the items impossible
as far
as orcs are concerned were removed ; much like byzantium was "what's left after we eliminated everything the bulgarians wouldn't buy".
mircea_popescu: HOW exactly they do this is incomprehensible. but consider : guy who was 3rd echelon politruk under shoemaker ; guy who was too dumb / poorly connected to make anything of the 90s, resurfaces in 2010! with a "proposal" which consists of "here's this adaptation of usg-isms
as i understand them".

as in e.g.
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749739 , without the addressee's name in the line -- deliberate design choice ?
