f1maze: he even
talked about dogecoin
f1maze: charlie lee
talking bitcoin litecoin on cnbc.. I just spit out my drink on my keyboard
mircea_popescu: hm. look at
that. a
TENTH of
the population of chicago.
mircea_popescu: this is not so much a
theory as a fact.
they never did.
mircea_popescu: i had
this pet
theory whereby ustards were not born
tards, but made
tards by
the Great Spinster Revolt, "civil rights" and welfare state.
mircea_popescu: managed
to confuse
the plain absence of a higher cognitive function for a correctly functioning intellect because looked at it in a single case : one where correct function was
to stfu.
mircea_popescu: babbage says
the same
thing, "oh, americans just wanted

trinque, incidentally, as it just occured
to me -- can you get deedbot payments online by
the end of
the month ? seems somewhat likely usg is gonna
turn off its "webwallet" bullshits from blockchain.info down.
trinque:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-14#1683508 << apologies,
this is going
to
take another weekend.
the bot wallet service is done, but it occurs
to me
that it'd be wise
to separate
the OTP generation from
the rest of
the services. on one side, a big, complicated wonder of modern computing; on
the other, a simple box connected by serial port which can receive OTP requests, generate
them, and confirm/ignore OTPs.
☝︎ mod6: De nada, shinohai.
Thanks for your help!
mircea_popescu: sounds about right, yes ? except dogs won't read
the shit coming out of
tepee, new mexico. but otherwise basically
the same
thing, right ? harvard can be university, just as good as european, neh ?
mircea_popescu: e
to use it, he instead
took
to insulting Dodge. In response, she sent him away, although she supported him financially until
the
time of
their divorce four years later."
mircea_popescu: "In 1917 Dodge, her husband, and Elsie Clews Parsons moved
to
Taos, New Mexico, where she began a literary colony. On
the advice of
Tony Luhan, a Native American whom she would marry in 1923, she purchased a 12-acre (49,000 m2) property. Luhan set up a
teepee in front of her house, drumming each night in an attempt
to lure her
to him. Although Sterne bought a shotgun with
the intention of chasing Luhan off
the property, unabl
mircea_popescu: take say... what, whatever, anything.
take mabel dodge luhan,
the us clone of anne louise benedicte de bourbon-conde,
twpo centuries later.
mircea_popescu: works a damn sight better when it comes
to
taking a loud, large british
tank and making a marginally acceptable if
too late
to matter sherman.
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking country, it's not x or y.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, here's what i can't put
to rest : it's not JUST fucking joseph smith, "o i heard
them fine folks in rome have
this religion
thing, ima make one myself out of shit around my log cabin". he's one of
the more ridiculous exponents, yes, but he's in no way marginal. not at all. murray rothbard is exactly "oh i heard
them folks in paris have a philosophy, ima make one out of old shit in demolished us protest
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron if you want

mod6: huh,

mircea_popescu: got no
time
to
talk
to a girl, got all day
to hang out on r/seduction or w/e
the fuck.
mircea_popescu: no
time
to participate, all
the
time in
the world
to fuck with ips.
mod6: mircea_popescu:
this guy has been
trying over and over eh?
mod6: Also, f1maze, you'll find countless examples of people going
through
the motions on
this in
the logs if you need.
mod6: nice, beat me
to it :]
f1maze: Pardon me, but GPG registering on IRC different
than
the nickserv command I remember using?

mod6: obv. we don't know yet, but if
that isn't
the "we've reached a perm plateau..." statement of our
times, i don't know what is.
trinque knows a guy whose brother fucked off
to
the woods in
the states
to raise alpacas, because why not, better
than people
mircea_popescu: so
then. making a friend where you raise
the goats is a lot simpler
than it may seem in a maryland parking lot.
mircea_popescu: (also, while we're at it :
the "haughty" behaviour of low preference value ustard females, hair dressers and whatnot, where
they roll
their eyes and purport as if
they're bothered by advances because
that's what
they imagine
they must do, is also very much a function of food stamps.)
mircea_popescu: this scares
the shit out of
the brit. as it would NOT have scared his grandfather, but whatever.
mircea_popescu: her boyfriend, and his friend follow along. and
the boyfriend attempts
to engage
the fiance in
the VERY
typical, ritual dance of "making a friend".
mircea_popescu: it's an ok-ish hollycrap movie with
the redhead what's her name. anyway,
the substance is she's a mail order ru bride, bought by a dickless briton.
mod6: where'd
this defeatist shit come from anyway?
mod6: throw
the damn
thing back in, and
try again. or find a new spot.
phf witnessed a massive hand
trawling undertaking in kerala. 20-30 strong men from local village pulling
the net by hand,
tourists "participating" etc.
the end result was maybe 5
tiny fishes altogether..
mircea_popescu: that's kinda
the problem, city man will do
the moves, catch minnow's worth of polonium.
mircea_popescu: and off
the many bridges off
the golden horn, also. and into
the atlantic off buenos aires.
mod6: try
to picture yourself being
that guy.
mod6: you guys ever see
the dudes fishing off
the peer in .mx? or with nets in
the shallows?
mod6: embrace. meanwhile, i'll have
to embrace some literacy. hehe.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, cuz yo ubought into
the "great inca will
tell us what is
true life" ?
phf: why does myself and asciilifeform stay in
the swamp?
mod6: no need
to
though, just gotta be ready
to embrase change at anytime
mircea_popescu: "oh, married life is no sort of maiden life". well... don't worry your pretty head so much about it,
the skin falls off.
phf: i like
the
theory
that general drying out of
the region meant
that people with resources left for better pastures, dumbasses stayed. so yeah, it's still egyptians, just bottom of
the barrel
mircea_popescu: this is
the brick wall in
the middle class princess' life, oft depicted in say russian folk
talkes ; and also known
to shakespeare and beautifully brought
to life by liz
taylor.
mircea_popescu: no argument. but it helps if you reject
the woman because you saw her naked, or you fucked her, or SOMETHING ; as opposed
to barfing because okcupid scored her as 73.
mod6: people better get ready. if you can't see yourself herding goats, or fishing off a dock, or living in a cabin in
the woods; you've had an beyond-your-means "lifestyle" for far
too long. it's coming
to and end.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-31 19:52 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: life with goats in goatfuckistan is not --
to naggum, evidently, and just
the same
to asciilifeform -- life
mircea_popescu: and
the process
through which it doesn't get it in
time is,
mircea_popescu: for instance. or for whatever other reason. but
the point here is -- don't
trust your culture
to be a monotonously positive item. it's not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right. maybe
they were invaded. but maybe
they weren't ? maybe senescence is what
turned
the
tall guys with slender noses into
today's orcs.
mircea_popescu: why was it china conquered by europe ? complex explanations about but how about
the simple one
