mircea_popescu: heck, the tanks the us army "deploys" are all rentals.
mircea_popescu: <copypaste> ascii_butugychag: oh, i didn't know that. interesting << eh he's making shit up. usg doesn't have own pot to piss in.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_butugychag> sorta like the water you get from washing a pot after normal tea << quite exactly lol! i wonder if this is actually what they were shooting for.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag there's worse ways to pass the time than with the sluts of budapest.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i have yet to meet a greek professional who wasn't a) actually jewish and b) abroad.
mircea_popescu: that's ridiculous. romania is way better for medicine than pretty much everything else in that part of the world.
mircea_popescu: copypaste wouldn't advise it tho, highest suicide rate outside of japan.
mircea_popescu: <copypaste> i wouldn't, but plenty of people would. the average person in the philippines views foreigners as being smart and better educated than them <<< this happens to also be right.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is all that other shit and what's with the heartshape fixation ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't even know two thirds of them. magnum iirc is some shitty icecream, lipton's the sort of tea one drinks when no tea is available
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and holy shit that can't be ALL the food brands unilever owns.
mircea_popescu: yes, but when i hire women to be women, as opposed to do any actual job, i have strict standards. hence the "over 180 cm tall, exactly 19 bmi, etc"
mircea_popescu: heck, apple made the concept of "filesystem" go away, they somehow sell tablets with no filesystem interraction exposed.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, i vaguely recall some testing the waters re how urls are evil and hurt the eyes of the moo moos.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> they don't need it. << yes but the problem is in their head.
mircea_popescu: more or less. in this case it's mostly because you probably don't speak spanish to a level acceptable in court.
mircea_popescu: were you fishing for a nail to hang your explanation on ?
mircea_popescu: you should prolly spend more time asking questions than sprouting sententiousness.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the record, you're talking to a guy with an actual record of up-and-getting-out
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i used to like szabo a lot more. but omfg, then i read some of his stuff.
mircea_popescu: can't sell "your" barber shop, but yah you can have a little money to "see you through a rough spot"
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'we will graciously agree to lend you, at interest, a portion of your own money, which we confiscated.' << this is how any serious mob works, really.
mircea_popescu: much much better to be, if not one of odovacer's men, at least any of the other "barbarian"'s retinue than to hang out with the so-called "count" bracilla at ravenna.
mircea_popescu: it behooves one to be part of the group that stabs the thing to death and drinks its blood.
mircea_popescu: experience shows that it never pays to wait to be shat on by the corporate fiction that supposedly owns you.
mircea_popescu: a week latter the letter arrived, and he was like... bwhahahahaha.
mircea_popescu: lol funny thing : while i was in costa rica i was considering going to new zealand. went to british consulate that handled the whole slew of dominions, woman told me i need a visa. was all wtf'd, wrote to the ro exterior minister at the time (young guy from my party) going wtf. the VERY NEXT DAY it was announced the visa requirement was mutually dropped.
mircea_popescu: british is prolly the worst, largest selection of people who hate them
mircea_popescu: yeah. lulziest case of the hare and the turtle ever. all my life that i can remember romanians thought it's the worst
mircea_popescu: been on for a while. (and was predicted a year or two before it happened, also in the log)
mircea_popescu: this, from what i hear, should be no change from the fillipines.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the people are idiots on an african level, and on the whole on their own strength on the open market not worth the price of a decent burial.
mircea_popescu: copypaste argentina is ok. the weather is nice, the food is excellent, it's not terribly expensive and the government is a joke. for your purpose it is excellent, you can get a passport for a few grand nqa.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pretty much everything goes critical once coolant goes away in an unplanned manner.
mircea_popescu: "we no longer have a coolant line." "because hydrogen explosion ?" "no, that's why we no longer have a roof. but that came after the coolant blew the line up."
mircea_popescu vaguely remembers a prototype to use toluene as nuclear plant coolant, too. imagine the fun of that!
mircea_popescu: (in fairness, it was the fuel of choice of f1 engines in the 80s, but it really is much too high octane to use in shitty ro-made engines of the era. not to mention carcinogenic)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i remember the enchanted time of the 80s when gasoline shortages and rationing + the universal theft of "accomplished socialism" meant all the workers at the paints factory ran their cars on stolen raw toluene.
mircea_popescu: taking more testosterone is not unlike adding more nitrocelulose to your gasoline.
mircea_popescu: especially funny seeing how the only way to not have credits was to... read it.
mircea_popescu: "I liked trilema better when it had a paywall (and I couldn't read it for lack of trilema credits)."
mircea_popescu: not really entertaining random tramps so much anymoar.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't think the usa even had anything.
mircea_popescu used to keep a notable stash, mostly because the whole army of sluts/students/tramps and assorted vagabonds didn't trust themselves with it.
mircea_popescu: in other news, that mifepristone reminds me a lot of diethylstilbestrol (anyone know the story of this particular thaliomidoid ?). romania uses levonorgestrel almost exclusively.
mircea_popescu: the african country of the us has a lulzy history of "we no got acridine we jump off table on knife hiar"
mircea_popescu: way the fuck safer and cleanner than anything 3rd party'd do.
mircea_popescu: it boggles my mind that they're using all the weird shit when rivanol irrigation'd do the trick just fine.
mircea_popescu: nitwitty seamstresses. "oh, i put a fig leaf on david". well... hopefully vlad the impaler puts a little something up your tightest hole.
