BingoBoingo: decimation: I'm not so sure
decimation: if I were president, the first order I would make would be to released the list of everyone who receives money from the list above
mircea_popescu: a while back i ran a "what'd you do with 100k euro" thing on my blog (because some fucktarded populists were "promoting a law" to give every schmuck 20k - romanians don't want living wages, they want universal windfalls)

mircea_popescu: apud Ballas : "I know, I know, she's only 15-- terrified, Stockholm Syndrome, etc. And I have no right to judge her (in)actions since I am not her, I didn't live her life. Though that brings us back to the black teen: why is fear an acceptable explanation for poor judgment, but anger is not? (Hint: they're both not.)"
felipelalli: (PS: I'm still reading)
BingoBoingo: literal butthurt http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--05KKQCHQ--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/wjqk8l4uyrlvvu5c8svh.jpg

mircea_popescu: i just want a functional reference point tree for when this topic is discussed in future. currently, my go-to link for "reddit manipulation" is either the trilema or the qntrea article. it's beneficial if they somewhere (like in comments) have a link to a later case they didn't substantially cover
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ah, now I'm more confused than ever
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i meant the other way :D
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i meant http://trilema.com/2015/these-fools-have-been-handed-a-technology-so-clever-so-disruptive-and-revolutionary-that-the-rulers-of-the-world-would-have-to-fully-unmask-themselves-as-ruthless-tyrants-in-order-to-suppress-it/ and http://qntra.net/2015/01/its-easy-to-call-us-a-tiny-minority-when-you-engage-in-vote-manipulation/

punkman: http://www.wired.com/2015/02/hacking-burning-man-tickets/ "I need to have a ticket to go camping in the desert"
mircea_popescu: "Since cocaine must dissociate from antibody before it can be metabolized, either in plasma or liver, such results seem surprising. " I'm willing to bet they misread the data, dun actually have a response at all, but hey.
punkman: nubbins`: well, shitty dope doesn't have that, but if you spritz it with saline... << if only the retards came up with saline. I've read about some assholes using spray with glass beads (the kind used to make shiny road paint) that would penetrate the flowers.
punkman: mircea_popescu: punkman: I thought the principle was to trigger immune response against cocaine molecule, not reward centre <<< you don't understand how immune works! << nuh uh I went to school and even paid attention sometimes!

cjc: One of the problems with the 90s was... when I bought Pulp Fiction as the first DVD I purchased ever... it was in letterbox format.
thestringpuller: Yea I mean Wallace gets butt raped after he retrieves the suitcase. If that has any significance...I dunno
danielpbarron: i suppose all the different plots relate to marcellus wallace
danielpbarron: i wouldn't say it revolves around the suitcase
thestringpuller: "Are you okay?" "Nah man." "I'm pretty fucking far from okay."
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: i still have nightmares about that butt rape scene.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> asciilifeform actually the most common circumstance-driven attack is, older sedentary white male goes out to shovel snow. << LOL i just did such a thing / felt like i was gonna have a heart attack :/

Unfortunately, for reference, this requires you to have smelt a lot of different cocaine of certain purities, and very few people have had that opportunity. Personally, I think I could estimate cocaine purity from its scent and from looking at and tasting a few milligrams, b
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i have elementary knowledge of O-Chem. I love dat ATP Synthase (but who doesn't?)

PeterL: alot of what I was doing the past 3 years involved trying to get %yields higher

mircea_popescu: nubbins` yeah i totally want to hear what vice has to say o.O
mircea_popescu: and speaking of which... everyone i suppose is familiar with the otherworldly beauty of potassium permanganate ?
asciilifeform: i've always wondered why american dope aficionados don't follow the 1980s soviet example and all switch to making (or at least refining) what they use personally
nubbins`: because i know for a fact that he didn't
asciilifeform: i suppose if you have any schooling whatsoever, you can recrystallize it if you want
asciilifeform: it is, as i understand, a severe taboo among them, to sell it undiluted
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think he're referring to the dilutants
mircea_popescu: i don't think you can confuse cocaine with anything else.
