diana_coman: hm, now
that you mention it I realise I do not have even one single anglo-deck of cards actually in
the house, lol
diana_coman: asciilifeform, fwiw re deck of cards
the way I found
that fake one was basically
through a Russian who saw&bought it because it reminded HIM of
the original deck of cards of his grandfather who was of
the
type self-exiled
to France
mircea_popescu: rather,
the penalty for breaking chinese liquidshit marketing areas.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman it'd matter a lot more if
the actual handling cost weren't ~100 ECu or so per package.
diana_coman: Mail, but no. You may now enjoy handling
the item all
the way back
to America, at your own cost."
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-02#1719440 - interestingly enough re uk vat for us "imports" I got passed on
this snippet, apparently published in
the spectator
too: "I recently ordered a pair of wire strippers from
the USA at a cost of £14.07.
Two weeks later I received a demand for £3.90 duty and VAT, plus a Royal Mail 'handling fee' of £8.
The latter struck me as an awful lot of handling for a small
tool.
Thank you, Royal
☝︎ mircea_popescu: here's a great idea :
the best way
to "Screensave" is by NOT FUCKING BUYING ONE.
mircea_popescu: "positive pr" indeed, what, from
the likes of Caleb Crain and his "husband" Peter
Terzian ? noty.
mircea_popescu: on
the lengthy long road
to discovering
that no, nobody wants zher here
there or absolutely anywhere.
mircea_popescu: "But
the Bi-Mart Willamette Country Music Festival—or BMWCMF as it will be henceforth referred
to—clearly does not care about positive PR. In
that way,
the BMWCMF is unlike any music festival I’ve ever been
to. It also perfectly embodies Oregon as it exists outside of Portland: rural, rugged, and rude. Attempting
to acquire a media pass feels more like haggling with a stranger on Craigslist." << jews' first little step
ben_vulpes: vegas is hard
to pin down demographically, as it's just
the projection of a particular multidimensional entertainment megacorp
through our plane, so you're just as likely
to run into
tourists not even from
this plane as you are say dentists from las cruces or 'hft guyz' from nyc
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck is going
to be affected by a naked slut in a bar getting fucked or w/e
they did
mircea_popescu: On September 30, 2012, Aldean admitted
to having "acted inappropriately at a bar",while former American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr, responding
to reports linking her and Aldean, said in a statement she had suffered "a lapse in judgment" and "would like
to sincerely apologize
to everyone
that has been affected by
this"
mircea_popescu: google jason aldean.
there's his personal site, searches for spouse and his lulzy kids preloaded, songs (on youtube, fo course) linked.
mircea_popescu: if yes,
there's no office and
there's no work and
there's no anything else.
there's strictly
the ipad and hopefully lead.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think
this segmentation carries any water. it's not "workingclass or officeclass". it's not country or pop or rap or anything else. it's born before 1990 or not.
mircea_popescu: well who
the fuck goes
to an open air concert, besides mobile poor people.
mircea_popescu: what, is your construction here
that las vegas hospitals and funeral parlors have revived
the ancient frontier practice of paying drunks
to create work for
them ?
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine who could possibly be arsed
to eat
the cost of culling
the worthless millenials.
that an old man undertakes it is very much in
the vein of what old age is all about.
mircea_popescu: well what is
this, conspiracism for conspiracism's sake ?
mircea_popescu: "Hey, I would have bought it HERE if it EXISTED, you know? It sucks
to have
to import cool stuff from half way around
the world, yes, but how does it follow
then
that one also has
to *pay locals* for
their failing
to have
the cool stuff locally?" <<
this is a rather important point.
mircea_popescu: wait, he shot from
the hotel into
the parking lot as it were ?
trinque: but
that's where it'll end up
a111: Logged on 2017-10-02 16:05 lobbes: Damn. Alright I'ma create invoice
tonight once I'm near my signing key, mircea_popescu
a111: Logged on 2017-10-02 10:42 BingoBoingo: 50+ killed, 200 plus wounded in Floor 32, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Nevada shooting during Jason ALdean concert credited by
the noise mill
to Stephen Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nevada
mircea_popescu: "take
the solidus, go somewhere where q. robur grows and
the
tits are fistfilling, settle down and relax already."
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
the legionnaire's dream is
the one most enduring roman contribution
to modern world.
mircea_popescu: that's antique! classical
theatre is
this 1500 florentine
thing.
diana_coman: oh, classical
theatre made me
think of...antigona and I was racking my brains
mircea_popescu: the barber of seville,
the merchant of venice,
the
taming of
the shrew, all, all "mistaken identity" / commedia dell'arte consists of
this and nothing else but
this : "here's how life reclaims
the money bags"
mircea_popescu: consider
though : 100% of classical
theatre is "old guy retiring (with good money obv!) with either young wife being a whore or else hot daughter being a slut".
diana_coman: must be
the legionnaire florentine brits-only ; but yes, makes sense
diana_coman: money obv!) in a poor country and watching
the sun setting just as
the local economy sets
too - it sounds as if
they managed
the setting part right at home
diana_coman: asciilifeform> diana_coman: as one who lives 20min from
the fuhrerbunker, asciilifeform is not someone
to lecture folx on 'time
to move'. but i dun
think anybody could ~pay~ me enuff
to live in rotherhamistan... <-- on one hand most non-brits here (and yeah, it's an area with some 25%+ non-brits) anyway are a positive
thing overall; on
the other hand
there is
this (been repeatedly
told) very British dream of retiring (with good
mircea_popescu:

the item. because FUCKING
TOTALLY, if i'm running whores in cairo i'm gonna be so
totally impressed with some
two bit sargent major he's not only not getting shot, but ima do what he says! guess who's changing who here!!11
diana_coman: come
to
think of it:
the deck of cards! lol
diana_coman: admittedly, not much (if any, hmm) from
the USA
lobbes: Damn. Alright I'ma create invoice
tonight once I'm near my signing key, mircea_popescu
☟︎ diana_coman: I got plenty of packages otherwise and never had
to pay such a
thing
diana_coman: asciilifeform, quite; you don't get
to pay
that if package doesn't attract customs fee
mircea_popescu: the idea
there is
that people in a north africa military prison give so much of a shit about
the crown & all
they actually do what
told!
mircea_popescu: in related news, i
turned off a horrifying bad piece of british propaganda yest, "the hill" with sean connery.
diana_coman: it's fixed amount asciilifeform ; and a
third of it is for "post service" weirdly enough
diana_coman: it seems
that his was lower but it's unclear why really
mircea_popescu: does
the queen's own asshole dilate with inflation in
those lands
too ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, part of
trouble is
that atm on such coordinates it's unclear if moon is far enough as it is
diana_coman: asciilifeform, re "why would he do
that" - I don't
think
there is a why; what
to do with it comes afterwards anyway
trinque: got state income
tax in maryland
too!
mircea_popescu: and yet strangely
the us collects as much
tax as
the uk.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's ok, i dunno who else could be paid enough
to live in
the swamp.
mircea_popescu: this is
the constant lulz, asking "what was he
thinking". what
the fuck, if he were
thinking he'd be working at
the post office ?
mircea_popescu: he
thought it pattern matches something fence might have
taken once.
mircea_popescu: "oh it will be discovered". what
the fuck does he care ? by
the
time it's discovered he's either dead, inside anyway for "drug bust" or otherwise, you know, MADE IT IN
THIS GAME
diana_coman: so dunno, having so many enoughs and eating
them, might be I got fat
diana_coman: asciilifeform, re britanistan I'm still searching for
the essence of my deep problem
that keeps me here; but historically it comes after having enough of Italy after having enough of France after having enough (more
than enough!!!) of Ro
mircea_popescu: girls were mindblown, "why
the fuck would anyone do
this".
