lobbes: <davout> from the time guitar heroes were actually guitar heroes << all you need these days is to know three chords and have
a pretty face.
ben_vulpes: how did they get django into
a memory forensics tool?
mircea_popescu: "I’m not going to make this about the so-called hacker who is responsible for the list, claiming he did it to prove
a point about the safety of Fetlife’s members. Attention is what the douchebag wants and I refuse to give it to him. Now, did he breach Fetlife as he’s claimed? Of course not. That takes
a skill he lacks."
mircea_popescu: how do you encrypt
a posting today to the key of future readers ?
mircea_popescu: " Unsurprisingly, this level of (motherly) indulgence and (fatherly) neglect had produced
a girl whose sense of worth was so over-inflated it could lift
a fleet of Zeppelins."
jurov: i understood it as the overinflated self-worth replacing the hydrogen, not adding
a lift :)
mircea_popescu: because
a zepellin has 0 apparent weight, so it lifts itself ?
davout: "it could lift
a fleet of Zeppelins" <<< bwhahah
mircea_popescu: "
a girl whose sense of worth was so over-inflated it could lift
a fleet of Zeppelins." yeah, totally. this is probably the iconic reddit comment. what, buoyancy ? words are words and the world consists of pictures. blips are big, so this simile works!
mircea_popescu: which i suppose makes me the perfect storm of
a horribru father (as per reddit) : the cross between "absent and physically abusive military father." and "coke snorting, random hooker banging, land development dealing father."
mircea_popescu: but the kicker : the other family is
a successful man and his ambitious wife. THIS IS ALSO NOT GOOD.
mircea_popescu: then one's family is
a military man and his pliable wife. but no, not for shithead. "B&P (Booze&Pills) : Ahabs good for almost nothing, rehab bound mother. Major Asshole : Ahabs equally absent and physically abusive military father."
mircea_popescu: so,
a guy and his best friend. ok, this happens. they're friends for the usual stupid reasons : lived nearby, and never contradicted each other.

ben_vulpes: ;;later tell cazalla there are worse ways to spend
a few hours and also better but few with comprable lulzdensity
ben_vulpes: GTS managed to get
a grip on the box, which sent JLW into
a Fat-Fury™ frenzy of incoherant screaming and flailing limbs. One of which smacked GTS right in the face, causing her to spill the remaining slices all over the ground. Her fist clenched as her arm drew back and I knew nothing would stop her from punching JLW right in the face. Except JLW was already on the ground, desperately trying to
ben_vulpes: ascii_* has
a /way/ of saying it that must be seen for the grokking
ben_vulpes: * ascii_lander saw some truly kick-ass graves today << i have such
a greater appreciation for mod6, ascii_*, mircea_popescu, mike_c, davout, hanbot in-chan utterances now
ben_vulpes: almost died of co poisoning one time cutting radiant heat lines into concrete in
a basement.
mircea_popescu: i've done neither. i've also not laid eggs, nor have i been
a steel girder to "see what it's like" for rebar.
ben_vulpes: "you've never worked
a service industry job, have you?"
ben_vulpes: little do they know that the episcopalians dragged me through this particular gutter as
a youth and cemented my opinions of the subhumans.
ben_vulpes: <ascii_lander> morphs into these when parking's tight << i imagine
a special flat where he relaxes into his final chthonian form
BingoBoingo: ascii_lander: I'll probably move to boring Expat B-
A, after financial center of plain 3rd world country. Does not alleviate your need to get
a Nyjer Morgan Washington Nationals Jersey for driving cross town.
ascii_lander: but important to keep
a handle on the picture.
ascii_lander: now, the cat-b-
a is still lightyears ahead of, e.g., wash., d.c.
ascii_lander: BingoBoingo: but to put things in perspective: you and i won't be moving to the b-
a mircea_popescu, hanbot, mthreat et al live in
ascii_lander: BingoBoingo: funnily enough, i live in
a sector of suburb full of south amer. in particular, argentinians...
mircea_popescu: Sometimes I give an extra item to people I especially dislike, or go out of my way to compliment them. Many people, given
a chance, will be friendly, even if they're often quick to anger/lash out otherwise."
mircea_popescu: "I'll post this in my next story, but
a line said by
a lady I very much admire that has stuck with me: "Those who are the least likeable are also the most in need of your help."
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander attached, sure. doesn't prevent one making more. there's
a line between attachment and mania.
ascii_lander: properly speaking, most of it is
a ruin as it is. simply, an inhabited one.
ascii_lander: offspring are still
a liability, because one might conceivably grow attached to them
BingoBoingo: The StL varietal has
a history of burning buildings to sell bricks to Atlanta and Florida subdivisions
BingoBoingo: ascii_lander: But now they have
a local injury. Does your foot get red when your thigh has an abcese?
BingoBoingo: just... Ferguson style protestors when they can't hang the cops become
a regional blight.
ascii_lander: (apparently this is
a mega-business here, like in ussr)
BingoBoingo: ascii_lander: Baltimore incident was spinal injury in City holding cell. I'd recommend pricing empenada stands in #b-
a BingoBoingo: You'd be surprised how far out of the Urban core
a 'Ferguson' affects
a certain subspecies of Homo Spaniens.
BingoBoingo: Your region jsut recently had
a ferguson. Pick up
a jerzy of
a darker baseball player and wear it when transiting dark places. Embrace the foreigner card.
ascii_lander: 'you nothing but
a fast cpu, useless for anything else' he said to the pentium
ascii_lander: 'He does, but as he's walking out the door, he yells his parting words loudly enough for half the food bank to hear, "YOU NOTHIN BUT
A SEXY PIECE OF ASS. USELESS FOR ANYTHING ELSE. JUST
A USELESS, SEXY PIECE OF ASS."'
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander hey, nothing wrong with
a little exploration.
ascii_lander: but yes, mircea_popescu can feel victorious, l0l, he satisfied the system of simultanous equations which point to
a solution, far from physical space, where i'd want offsprint.
mircea_popescu: guy walks into tailor's, "gimme
a suit just like that guy's!"
trinque: I dunno that I'd want to raise
a kid there
mircea_popescu: this should be
a play, if we got any playwrights in the audience :D
mircea_popescu: but alf, what if they happen to excel at something you just don't happen to recognize as
a thing ?
mircea_popescu: that'd be one hell of
a murder trial. "why did you kill your own children!!11" "they... weren't all that impressive"
mircea_popescu: 800 lines in 3 hours, myeah ok, clearly y'all are
a buncha addicts.
ascii_lander: 'filtration system
a marvel to behold! it removes eighty percent of huuuuman sooolid waaaaste..!'
ascii_lander: ah no. just that yours truly is
a bound peon of derpistan
ascii_lander: 'The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for
a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has
a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore, so it eats it! It's rather like getting tenure.'
mircea_popescu: "In cooperation with CoinStand, I will be launching
a new version of Paybase. For now I call it Paybase2.
mircea_popescu: so
a woman that gets pregnant and wants to move to argentina to raise her kid could not exist ?
trinque: ascii_lander | trinque: i need
a usa kid slightly less than i need an extra hole in skull << up to you if that's what he becomes
ascii_lander: trinque: i need
a usa kid slightly less than i need an extra hole in skull
trinque: feeding
a kid and handing him books doesn't seem so bad
ascii_lander is as certain that woman is in full agreement re: this issue as that she isn't
a usg succubus
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes she got
a small advance to do some bits of work, turned out she needed more to live off, but it wasn't really enough, she decided that the process which found her the place to stay in the first place couldn't possibly work to keep her in it, and wandered off to meatspace.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> BingoBoingo: and last year let
a cat starve << that cat wouldn't eat.
BingoBoingo: !up recon_eric What's your liquid like? Homeowner? I'm kinda
a savant when it comes to pointing at mexicans.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_lander> ben_vulpes: there was no serenissima then << even today, serenissima cannot exterminate so much as
a case of mice. yet << yeah, tell that to poor derpopo.
ascii_lander: that wall would still be standing if there weren't
a 'pepsi' competing reich to poke at it
mircea_popescu: actually, if it hadn't had all its industry destroyed and
a desperate want of money, it'd have continued practically unabated.
ascii_lander: for
a dead horse, it still gallops rather well.
ascii_lander: it wasn't
a public impalement in the proper eurasian tradition
ascii_lander realizes that he still has
a full bag of hundies
