asciilifeform: cheaper in usa than literally anywhere on planet, neh
asciilifeform: one of the biggest puzzlers re marauding monkeyfolk to asciilifeform , is the reluctance of robbers to use the auto. almost like it were 1910 again, or sumthing. 90% rob in walking distance of own dwelling. mind-boggling
mircea_popescu: this view happens to be closer to reality, amusingly enough, than the hallucinations of power and import of the various borderline sleeves "interning" for her.
mircea_popescu: to them, feinstein is nothing more than any other old bitty. she dun fuck, she dun twerk, she's as interesting as a printed picture of a bone is to a dog.
asciilifeform: ^ this matches observations of asciilifeform's naked eye, thus far.
mircea_popescu: that's the point of a savannah.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, the grass sprouts back once they leave.
mircea_popescu: migration is slower than in their african home, but still, tectonic like underlyin phenomenon.
mircea_popescu: generally, the black-powered underground in the us is very much migratory, it wants to move towards the places with teenage fuckbunnies, and away from the dead zones.
mircea_popescu: well yes, they expanded territory like 30%, losing some areas, gaining others, look at teh map neh ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform like in any field, you piece together the bit reports of people in the know, pondered by their context. doesn't take an expert analyst to figure out briots were convenient cover for underground resettlement.
asciilifeform: now this is true -- sitting usg is necessary to current blackmarketters like oxygen
mircea_popescu: they were busy with more useful targets.
asciilifeform: plox to 1) the seekrit tru picture 2) how mircea_popescu found it ?
mircea_popescu: let's just say that shooting feinstein would have done ~0 as far as the drug market is concerned, so she escaped.
mircea_popescu: nothing is wholly accurate, but that's neither here nor there.
mircea_popescu: your notion of the baltimore riots is thoroughly fictitious.
mircea_popescu: the us army hasn't had comparable command structure since the 80s.
asciilifeform: still rioters, rather than soldiers : no command structure.
asciilifeform: ( no more than the folx who nailed ceaucescu were )
mircea_popescu: technically, rioters can't shoot anybody, because by definition they donb't have guns.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they weren't rioters.
mircea_popescu: first time in a century.
asciilifeform: process re 'why not feinstein's house' was publicly visible during bmore riot -- soldiers appeared, but did not shoot rioters, merely redirected them to approved pillage-an'-burn ground
mircea_popescu: anyway. there was trhat whole puerto rican nationalism slaugther, they got like a half dozen in the 50s iirc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the person doing the shooting from the crowd will always be you know, the person doing the shooting. if your idea is "show me senators shot by helicopter moms" you're going to turn out empty.
asciilifeform: though mircea_popescu is quite obviously right re the 12/hr guard having 0 to do with why monkeys dun burn feinstein's mansion
asciilifeform: ( i.e. lone d00d, with at least 2-3 day plan horizon; rather than crowd of monkeys )
mircea_popescu: anyway. giffords got shot in the head 2011, scalise was shot in the hip 2017. that's two for the past decade ; first two since 73.
asciilifeform: postalists have nailed politicians in the past. more or less the only scoreholders in usa to date.
trinque: "oh that guy just hated baseball"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, one doesn't need to look far : man opens fire in group of 50 congressmen june 14th current.
mircea_popescu: im sorry. we're still at tiberius.
mircea_popescu: that's more of a caligula thing. we're still at nero.
asciilifeform: nor do we know by whom killed. could just as easily be by contract , vs street tough
mircea_popescu: you keep saying this as fact, then i link you to dead feinsteins, then you forget about it for a week or two, then back to it.
asciilifeform: the rioters NEVER ONCE burned anything other than own pigsties.
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is that the net score of dead feinsteins to date is 0.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform betcha is exactly the same dude with rolled up newspaper in retail bank.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "a guard" pish. that's where you take the riots, if you're serious about rioting. brick pelt pelosi, feinstein and friends.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: betcha the guard on the feinstein street, shoots to kill
mod6: <+asciilifeform> 'oops, we forgot to stack the deck. can haz backsies?' << lol, exactly
asciilifeform: perfect uniformity, d00dz show up to cut the grass on same day for whole street, etc
mircea_popescu: at this rate they're going to have a privatized tsa in the bathroom.
mircea_popescu: "oh mr p, wouldn't you love to PAY so some inept schmuck can waste your time with a barrier on the road and everything ?" "totally!"
mircea_popescu: they're crazy about that dumb shit throughout latin america also, "condominios". who the fuck would want to live in them is unexplaiend, but they'\re everywhere.
asciilifeform: 'oops, we forgot to stack the deck. can haz backsies?'
asciilifeform: '...the homeowners association has sued the couple and the city, seeking to block Cheng and Lam from selling the street to anyone while the city appeal is pending — a move residents fear could complicate their efforts to reclaim the land.'
asciilifeform: 'Sen. Dianne Feinstein and her financier husband, Richard Blum; House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi; and the late Mayor Joseph Alioto. A guard is stationed round the clock...' , and
asciilifeform: in other lollers, http://archive.is/nsrpU >> 'Tina Lam and Michael Cheng snatched up Presidio Terrace — the block-long, private oval street lined by 35 megamillion-dollar mansions — for $90,000 and change in a city-run auction stemming from an unpaid tax bill. They outlasted several other bidders. Now they’re looking to cash in — maybe by charging the residents of those mansions to park on

mircea_popescu: this just adds to the lulz of yesterday's http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694676 ☝︎
mod6: that whole scam reminds me very much of the alt craze of '13
ben_vulpes: i want to issue junk bonds backed by battery powered dreams too!
ben_vulpes: to make a car the rumor mill suggests isn't particularly profitable
mircea_popescu: i dunno, who the fuck can make sense of the stuff. kids come up with kid notions.
trinque: surely some "wiccan" bitch will exactly that.
asciilifeform: propose it also for hand to hand ?
asciilifeform: what, i wonder , is the thought process ? 'i open crates with this, ergo it is fighting knife also' ?
asciilifeform: pretty lulzy, btw, trilema, with the 'car key as sword'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not so. below a certain level (self-reflection), planned and spontaneous project to the same point.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, teeets! http://68.media.tumblr.com/a1eb142151ba423bc5cba90620efadc1/tumblr_o3xxurz05E1teoe9mo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: whether imbecile or genius is orthogonal to planned vs spontaneous
mircea_popescu: like "i used the juice" bank robbery, planned, sure.
mircea_popescu: wtf is deliberate even mean. they don't deliberate.
asciilifeform: because 'you can't get tenure by saying let's-use-rsa' and you won't get $trillion if you ~do~ dig up the old blueprint
asciilifeform: whether monkey could 'decide to show up for work' -- i do not know
mircea_popescu: full fucking stop. they can't build the "hypertube" or w/e, and just in the same way, they can't build a fleet of b2s. just, simply, overpoweringly, can not.
mircea_popescu: but reason has nothing to do with it. neither lockheed nor anyone else could.
asciilifeform: there's not a stalin who will round up and shoot the lockheed board and their families etc
asciilifeform: lockheed et al have 0 reason to build ship that perma-floats, any more than monkey, to whom some idiot gave banana as 'salary', has any notion of 'showing up for work' the next morning
mircea_popescu: incentive is irrelevant. stupid unfucked chickie imagines "she has no incentive to put out", as fucking if.
asciilifeform: who held up the wall with hands
asciilifeform: a la mircea_popescu's folk tale with the builders
asciilifeform: they have 0 incentive to use good boat design, that won't generate recurring revenue
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with those is that we get them as soon as they touch them.

mircea_popescu: you see, they can't use the good boat designs "because they haven't been digitized" which is code for "we lost them". so they're stuck with "This recipe i found on a site", entirely http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-31#1691198 ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( the various heartbleeds )
asciilifeform: there is another category of artifacts, products of guile rather than technical inventiveness -- the keys to the boobytraps
asciilifeform: in the form of artifacts
asciilifeform: most of the smart, at this point, is bottled from ages past
mircea_popescu: yes, in the sense door is a constellation of wood and divine grace.
mircea_popescu: if you don't fuck as well as you used to, it's because you forgot how to fuck, there's no more to it than that.
mircea_popescu: you're welcome to not believe, on ops grounds, "i will not believe enemy is dumb". but that aside, as a theoretical concern, how the fuck else will you explain "recent models actually worse performing than earlier models" ?
asciilifeform: nuke has priority somewhere below whoever cleans the wh bowling alley.
mircea_popescu: it's not that they lost the nuke schematics. it's that they can't even find the boat designs from back when their boats actually floated. so they end up with littoral cardboard sheeps.
asciilifeform: i regard , for instance, a pill that's take phuctor from ppm of keys phucked, to ~most -- as interesting
mircea_popescu: literally, "anything but rejected reality tv scripts".
mircea_popescu: you keep thinking the usg has actually interesting secrets, rather than the rejected scripts for reality tv we keep turning up in the sikrit vaults. ☟︎
asciilifeform: e.g. yes some retired to dogs crone somewhere once photocopied the algo for breaking the weak class of aes key. no she has nfi what the funny letter on the paper meant, why would she.
mircea_popescu: literal kabuki, "and then we pretend the man with a black headband is invisible". exactly the same, "secret".
mircea_popescu: nothing is actually secret, nor could be. cuz how the fuck.
a111: Logged on 2015-06-10 03:40 asciilifeform: 'watchman may not know what is behind the door he is guarding; if he knew - would steal it himself' (tm) (r) (sov army)
mircea_popescu: "oh no mp, it's a think TANK!!!1". reheheally.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the pretense of "secrets" and "classified" in such an environment is even more laughable than the theory whereby public grades it.
mircea_popescu: except, history dun repeat, even if it rhymes. those coupla women retiring are the last to make it on that conveyor belt.
mircea_popescu: anyway. "creates jobs" right. you too could be retiring to dogs and grandkids if you only copy/paste from wikipedia!
mircea_popescu: which is the laugh of all time.
