phf: i saw him in
the horrible wolf of wall street and
then later in war dogs. both are millennial updates of greater movies, later one being a
take on "lord of war". he basically plays
the same character, young annoying and smug jew who gets what he wants on chutzpah, until he doesn't.
mircea_popescu: whisper in my ear clarifies i was
thinking of one emma watson.
mod6: mircea_popescu: maybe you're
thinking of "Jennifer Stone" ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 is emma stone
the pubescent chick from
that franchise with
the schoolhouse "wizards" and whatnot ?
mod6: Emma Stone was
the main attraction in Superbad.
mircea_popescu: phf i had
to google
this hill dood, and i still don't know who he is.
mircea_popescu: somehow
these people don't seem
to observe
the contradiction between "talented" and "15 minutes of fauxfame"
mircea_popescu: o yeah, what ever became of
that "talented" shithead ?
phf: i sort of assumed
that chris penn and jonah hill is
the same person.
there was probably one in
the 60-70s also
BingoBoingo: In his current straight
to netflix gig's he's been Stalone in
the 1970's and Arnold in
the early 80's
type 8-4% bodyfat sorta cut, but
that mass dun impress on screen no more
mod6: he was married
to Madonna for a while 'eh?
mircea_popescu: his brother was pretty hot in
that newman way, cca 1980.
BingoBoingo: Most spanish speakers will speak a weird spanglish
to Gringos, until you make
them stop and speak spanish
BingoBoingo: Nah, lots of English spoken by hobbyists who "just want
to" and maintenance folk.
mod6: yeah, i've got some friends who learned/speak spanish now because of
their co-workers.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> but again, i never get
to use it. << Get a lumber yard gig
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> is
that where
they get
the slightly aged strippers and do a sort of ... light daytime drama + staged "fights" ? << Yeah,
then smackdown's
the one
they painted blue
phf: i
think i watched it on
trilema review, ended up skipping
through mostly
mod6: i'll have
to checkout poolhall junkies
mircea_popescu: got chazz palminteri AND christopher walken, and plays like
the 3rd placed highschool media lab production for 1986.
mircea_popescu: but, yes, not
terrible. you wanna see
terrible, watch poolhall junkies.
mircea_popescu: he's for rom coms and "true
to life" films about hackers / stock exchange brokers / etc plox.
mircea_popescu: and
tha
tschmuck, what's his name.
the fat kid, "son of boss" whatever. he's a
terrible actor and drags
the whole
thing down.
mod6: yeah,
the madonna scene seems a bit forced or something.
mod6: Harvey Keitel was great in
that
mircea_popescu: even
the explanation of what madonna's "like a virgin" means seemed outta place.
mircea_popescu: course it makes anyone attempting
to use it orally sound like a pail full of bearing balls, but hey.
phf: dick dick dick dick dick dick dick - how many dicks was
that? - alot
mircea_popescu: i
think "dick" makes, phonetically, a better huy
than cock or anything else. has a nice ring
to it.
mod6: /topic what
the dick, are you dicked ? why
the dickendicking! disdick
the dick! dicks dick! dicker dick, why dick with it ?
mircea_popescu: phf and not using any word ROOT
that's not you know, dick.
phf: i'm not even sure how i would approach above sentence if i was
trying
to fully relay
the nuance and
the ambiguity
mod6: It's crazy. I'm guilty of
this as well. My spelling is horrid.
mircea_popescu: "what
the dick, are you dicked ? why
the dickendicking! disdick
the dick! dicks dick! dicker dick, why dick with it ?"
mod6: I
tell people all
the
time here
that people not even from here speak/write better english
than we do.
phf: err, i started
translating before
that sentence about "actually proper english..." etc.
phf: the
translation could be "what
the hell. you guys lost it? why did you build so much stuff? break it down no matter what. - no way, why? it's not such a bad work, why break it down?"
mod6: my apologies. apparently my
thing only does ascii.
mircea_popescu: actually proper english structuring of mat would be a fine exercise for learning either.
though more in
the phd level of
things.
mircea_popescu: mod6
the idea being
that
the russian grammar is so descriptive, an vocabulary isn't really needed. you can express yourself on
the strength of grammatical structure and arbitrarily chosen verb + noun.
mircea_popescu: holy shit im
the only source for
this on
the internets ?
mod6: at least, character
to english letter combo
transations.
mod6: i've been
trying
to pick up some russian just from all
the damn unicode pasted in here.
mod6: immersion is definately a good way
to learn
mircea_popescu: i was buzzed enough
to not have noticed, but i was
talking spanish at her and she was
talking portuguese back at me
mod6: yeah,
they are pretty close huh
mircea_popescu: anyway, portuguese and spanish are
the lulziest in
this vein. at some party i chatted with
this girl for a little, and eventually i asked her why does she have such a
thick accent ? "because i'm speaking portuguese".
mod6: but again, i never get
to use it.
mod6: I learned german first, and
that
took me about 6mos
to a year when i was 11 or 12.
then when i was ~18 i learned spanish in like... well pretty quick, 2-3 mos. its easy.
mod6: I suppose for me,
the
trouble with my german and spanish is usage. i never get
to use it, so I
tend
to lose it :<
mircea_popescu: i was reading
the ro review and it came out "better rewrite
than
translate".
mod6: ah, right. all .ro. i used
to just
translate
the stuff. however, it was mentioned in
the logs, since im not sure what exactly is being lost in such
translations.
f1maze: mod6: even more related I have a meeting with my new
tax accountant next week because I was an idiot and brought cold storage online -- did a couple big
trades on GDAX (lost big
too) a couple months ago. Now I'm nervous
mircea_popescu: ie,
there's 26 other people could vouch for him if i need
them
to.
f1maze: figured I'd
try anyways
f1maze: not sure how
that works
f1maze: well, I'm glad I came across
that
f1maze: Great, will give it a
try
mircea_popescu: not really clear what
type it's for / not for so far. outside of really not being for
the innumerate.
f1maze: if I'm
terrible at
trading, Eulora probably isnt
the game for me, right? lol
mircea_popescu: it is, after all, rothbardian human nature for
there
to be no guncotton on
the hospital ship which germans sink.
mircea_popescu: (aka guncotton, ie
the item
that wasn't
there on
the "hospital" ship germans sunk)
mircea_popescu: of course
the downside is you end up with
these kids who have no problem growing into slavekeeping adults etc.
phf: asciilifeform senior plotting
the downfall of soviet union in his garage, aha, runs in
the family
mircea_popescu: i was a very dangerous child ; pretty much
the only defense was making sense.
phf: yeah,
that makes sense.
they used
to do
those "flowers & bees" conversations (which are apparently now discouraged in america, because some bees are actually flowers!), but nobody really does
the basic mechanics of
the environment conversations
mircea_popescu: my parents were very careful
to explain
the ac/dc differences and so on rather early on.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-01 01:41 asciilifeform: it's ==
the 'lemme stick
the fork in
the mains socket' 'creativity' discussed by dutch.
mircea_popescu: f1maze pity
trump;s no andy kaufman. some female wrestling post
that whole "i grab
them by
the pussy" fail-scandal would have worked ok for ratings i imagine.
f1maze: Pretty sure wwe raw and
the white house have
their own drama... I remember seeing something recently of potus wrestling someone
mircea_popescu: is
that where
they get
the slightly aged strippers and do a sort of ... light daytime drama + staged "fights" ?
f1maze: I
think Justin Beiber's brother
mircea_popescu: then again... check
this shit out, us programming is dominated by "game of
thrones", way
the fuck ahead of disney and discovery channel. which, amusingly enough, are really competitors now.
mircea_popescu: f1maze look at
that, cnbc has no show in
top 10 ratings, ditched nielesen in protest. lol.
mircea_popescu: oh. i
thought for some reason "crypto network" blabla.
