mircea_popescu: "i am the only person in this country that can sort-of grasp the meaning of long french phrases

funkenstein_: gotta get the originals i suppose

funkenstein_: most of lacan stuff i found seemed like fan literature

gribble: 150 Car Pile-Up on Michigan Highway I-94 - YouTube: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9fI5M6_XVk>; Deadly 150-vehicle pileup closes I-94 in west Michigan: <http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/01/09/i-94-pileup-kalamazoo-county/21500281/>; At least 1 dead, 22 injured in fiery pileup in Michigan - USA Today: (1 more message)

funkenstein_: scary car crash. i had one in a dream last night too.

ben_vulpes: a vile beast is slowing my mental procs down i think

ben_vulpes: 'and then copied' << aha! i thought i'd read that somewhere.

ben_vulpes: seperately from, i suppose i mean

ben_vulpes: ugh i can't tell if this is allergies or a sickness

mxtm: i am using the same gpg key

mxtm: i know

mxtm: yes, i was

mxtm: yeh, how do i get properly in with the assbot WoT?

mircea_popescu: i suppose we're still hoping this may be cured with info exchange at some point.

mxtm: or what i read from it

mxtm: oh i see, the wiki or whatever didn't mention that

williamdunne: I hate to confess, but a year ago I would have done that

mxtm: i've heard i think

mircea_popescu: "i am a guy who walks alone, and gets so excited if anyone mentions him that he even knows this happened".

mxtm: i have way more than that

mxtm: i'm mxtm

mircea_popescu: how the fuck do i know.

mircea_popescu: lol adlai i gotta remember that.

mircea_popescu: she had no idea what that is and i didn't think much of her

mircea_popescu: i dunno how i ended up with some of these and some girlie asked me how do i "identify" and i said aliphatic.

mircea_popescu: i suspect the most common gender these days is "dragon"

mircea_popescu: <trinque> that is why I didn't just import the thing blindly; it worked differently than the current iteration << yeah at this point a note is called for at that <hr />

mircea_popescu: <williamdunne> I will presume you are in the US << he's in portland. a place so infected with dumb, if you ever run into a sane woman you gotta marry her.

williamdunne: Aha, I wrote a post about that the other day. So fed up of this "Decentralize all the things" meme

mircea_popescu: <williamdunne> I'm in Assbot's WoT, not sure why it didn't work for me << because you typed out the full name like a noob, and you have a display that fails to make the diff between capital i and lowcase l. instead of, you know, typiong the first three letters then hitting autocompletion like people who aren't noobs, and thus by noticing that Blo<tab> does nothing figure out the problem.

mircea_popescu: lol i put the serb/nigger in bash

trinque: that is why I didn't just import the thing blindly; it worked differently than the current iteration

williamdunne: I will presume you are in the US

ben_vulpes: i don't think that this place could ever repay me for the cost of living here.

williamdunne: And nor do I feel any obligation to

williamdunne: Nor would I expect it to be my final resting place

williamdunne: Yep, thats the one I was answering - I wouldn't consider the sovereignty I reside in to be a part of my identity.

williamdunne: I don't, I just wasn't entirely sure what you were asking me so covered a couple of interpretations

Adlai: not that i know. kakobrekla ?

williamdunne: Is the source available for assbot? I'll have a peek

Adlai: i mean, we should have the same abilities; yet i could down them, but you couldn't.

williamdunne: I'm in Assbot's WoT, not sure why it didn't work for me

Adlai: 04:22:24 mxtm | I am in the WoT :( just not assbot's

williamdunne: *furiously checking logs wondering what I have missed*

`bittrex-richie: all i talk is true

`bittrex-richie: i'm voiced

ben_vulpes: oh don't mind me i'm just being bombastic

ben_vulpes: i'm just going to use it as a filter, the same way i filter against men who button the top button of their shirt when not wearing a tie.

mats: but i want to hear more about what the wikipedia admins are talking about in their private channel

decimation: at any rate, I'm off for awhile

mircea_popescu: what if i started an encyclopedia presenting the current state of "web development" as indicative of what computing science is ?

mircea_popescu: i suppose the us owes reparations to britain.

mircea_popescu: halfway i imagine it's frustrating and ineffectual.

jurov: i just shrug it and try to forget.. guess i need to unlearn that

mircea_popescu: seeing how stupidity is not self-healing, i don't even need to keep the list per se. just read another sentence later.

mircea_popescu: but the fact remains, i keep reading through, stupid accumulates, eventually overrurns my (short) buffer and i drop it.

mircea_popescu: i couldn't finish hayek because he was stupid. think about that, hayek of all people. if hayek is stupid what chance do we have ?

mircea_popescu: but look at the way i read, it's illustrative.

jurov: i did not mean to split hairs there :) so it goes like, you get upset, add it to the list while maybe breaking the keyboard or two and life goes on?

assbot: Logged on 12-04-2015 18:33:07; mircea_popescu: inexplicably, i end up with unmanageably lengthy lists.

mircea_popescu: well we don't know i'm not nuts, for one thing.

mircea_popescu: i said this before, but perhaps not as clearly : no totalitarian state oppressed the people. ever.

decimation: but I'm not sure how many people in eastern eu countries had shortwave receivers

mircea_popescu: jurov i guess that could also be it.

mircea_popescu: hence the automatic "we" every idiot drops to the moment i get my club.

mircea_popescu: decimation i have no idea, maybe it has. if that's the case then your answer is "because THIS stupid generation is different from THAT one."

mircea_popescu: "hi, i am obama and for a while there I was a bad meme."

mircea_popescu: i wonder if mr "if you have a stanford you didn't go to that stanford" / "if you have a presidency your parents didn't make you in that country" / "if you had an insurance you can no longer have an insurance" even realises what his memory is going to look like

trinque: speaking of him, this chatter is something I'm seeing on more accounts than just circle

mike_c: trinque: it's even viral. now I am reminded to close my account too.

trinque: heh, reminds me I have the account?

trinque: this morning I got a bunch of 2fa texts from circle; I wonder if they have an undiagnosed bug leaking customer info

mircea_popescu: they're doing covers of shitty elevator music, all of it in english (or should i say their lords and masters over the faulklands ?), and they don't get the words right or even rightly apprehend what anything means.

mircea_popescu: jurov meanwhile, while we've been having this conversation, there's been one of those open air concerts going on right under my window. the women can not sing. i mean... the tune is not even close, it's like zappa's "the beat goes on, and you're so wrong..." stuff.

jurov: i can't persist and doubt everything

jurov: i have noticed both mircea and alf show irreconcilable hate for certain things, maybe it's a prereq?

trinque: other men in my family did things that still tower above my own achievements, so I have something to compare myself with

trinque: mircea_popescu: yeah, creative people, entrepreneurs. In my case I've been self-directed for the larger part of the last 5 years, but I wouldn't credit myself with having provided all the motivation to go down that route.

mircea_popescu: inexplicably, i end up with unmanageably lengthy lists. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: kinda how i go about it too.

jurov: i kinda ran out of problem i feel the need of solving

mircea_popescu: jurov i dunno dood, for money, cause it's what you do... the world was built by men who enjoyed working.

mircea_popescu: I just... never looked for a webhost since at least 2002, been using pretty much the same outfit since.

jurov: i have serious doubts myself, why bother messing around at all?

mircea_popescu: and in other news, jesus CHRIST has the world decayed since I last looked for a host.

mircea_popescu: journalist as opposed to indian battery chicken, i guess. "i cluck at the keyboard just like the wetbacks, but in not being a wetback i get to call myself a journalist. by trade!"

chetty: decimation certainly, even as far north as Maryland but I don't think it was the majority

decimation: but I think this is failing too. how many us folk believe that throwing their sons into the us military 'intervention' wood chipper is actually helping anyone other than the power-mad staffers in washington?

decimation: the detail I recall is the vast pyramids of committees and soviets that each 'advise' the next layer

decimation: I've read summaries

decimation: actually I heard another interesting podcast today that is related > http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2006/09/legislators_vs.html

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i only remembered the fl tidbit because paul graham blamed it for 'lack of startup culture in fl'

decimation: yeah I don't get it

asciilifeform: half the folks i work with, iirc, don't have - ever had - passports.

decimation: mircea_popescu: I suspect that many usians go their whole life without touching non-usd currency

mircea_popescu: i was pretty amused at the notion, on multiple fronts.

asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> guy declared "golden helicopter" << i bet savages do believe that an airplane flies on account of some compact talisman contained therein

mircea_popescu: notably, i once picked up a us chick who at the time was engaged to be married.
