a few decades in his position.

a fake acct.
decimation: asciilifeform: the oddest thing about snowden is the reddit-esque faith he had in the media to 'start
a conversation'

mircea_popescu: i don't think that text works without the necessary "bouncing wall" effect
a properly conspiratorial mindset provides.
mircea_popescu: for one, they could trivially be stated about you. for the other, srsly ? this is
a claim now ?
mircea_popescu: heck, all the reddit brigading is essentially this, "you can blackball nobodies by banging on
a lot of pots and pans!"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "let's get google convinced this guy is
a spammer"

a bombshell, but they need pgp
mircea_popescu: this bias is, incidentally, why "stifling science" is such
a suspect cry de guerre. one never nows if it's genuine science being supressed,
mircea_popescu: but in general, given the choice between "
a flawed study few can recognise as flawed" and "no study", pseudo-scientists readily (and understandably, from
a gt perspective) go for the former.
mircea_popescu: lottery is just
a very bad model for this sort of research
decimation: it turns out that
a poor bum who wins alot of money is still just
a poor bum
decimation: "Overall, our findings suggest that correlations observed in affluent, developed countries between (i) wealth and health or (ii) parental income and children’s outcomes do not reflect
a causal effect of wealth."
decimation: someone who wins the swedish lottery could be
a better person
mircea_popescu: wife could stop being
a fat bitch and husband could stop ejaculating early and watching the game.
decimation: but the cactus seemed like

a cactus is "self-imposedly damaging his anus"
decimation: he was 'promoted' to
a 'non-in-charge-of-life-and-death decisions' post
decimation: usg has
a small number of non-inept employees
mircea_popescu: decimation one being inept is almost
a requirement for usg payroll.
decimation: the man has the operational acumen of
a wet noodle
mircea_popescu: (now, that guardian has all through had
a very strong "dope it" agenda is true, and quite visible

a conspiraci,

jurov: mod6 ben_vulpes where will the manual go? i can put
a wiki somewhere
mircea_popescu: decimation if nothing else, he has done

mircea_popescu: TomServo sorta in the middle here, we're just about to have danielpbarron write

mircea_popescu: an old man is not going to be
a subsistence prostitute. ever.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 17:21:02; asciilifeform: that is, why not
a single one of the 'leaks' actually damaged any tangible lizard interest
mircea_popescu: heck, kakobrekla heard
a mouthful over his "leading derps into trying to steal from other bettors" or what was it, the bitbet scam thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at some point
a decent argument will be constructable that you "led" some idiot to his death, too. because you know, used cardano after toasting it in pizza oven.
mircea_popescu: "asciilifeform: 'Assange and Snowden are cold or actively insulting and hostile << mp has insulted women, gays, black people and social workers. clearly he's
a fake cia mp pretending to be the real mp.
mircea_popescu:
a claim that's tested in
a restated from should be divorced from the original.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 16:14:42; asciilifeform: 'As they say, 'you cannot make these things up', the Americans are so ridiculously obvious as they conduct criminal deceptions. The CIA's 'Watergate' scheme to destroy Richard Nixon 40 years ago, was so successfully with the fake 'brave reporter' Woodward, that the CIA even decided to use Woodward's junior partner as
a fake 'brave reporter' along with Greenwald in 'Operation Fake Dissident Snowden'.'
nubbins`: two dogs is
a pamphlet at best
nubbins`: mcdonald's sues the humble potato after it is revealed it's just
a bunch of goddamn fries all stuck together
mircea_popescu: jurov notice the very heavy bias for she-stuff in b-
a ? womanly job gets shares, manly job gets bupkiss
mircea_popescu: not because she went to
a club and got herself stiff drunk to be fucked.
mircea_popescu: these all are the why in the exact sense girl you picked up in
a club stiff drunk is havin sex with you because she liked your record collection and loves your hair
mircea_popescu: or in another approach, "asciilifeform:'The laughable CIA story we are asked to swallow, is that the US regime is doing zero against Omidyar, " << we are similarly asked to believe the cia story that the us is doing zero against saudi arabia, which... you know ? or whoever else off
a long list. they're not doing zero, they're doing "their best", which is what it is.
jurov: nubbins`:
a) send to yourself, check. b) leave text aempty and attach known good clearsigned stuff as .txt
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's approach this in perhaps
a more comprehensible set of terms. end of the world situation, you're behind
a wall of sand sacks, enemy behind another. you got two guys left with you, was
a full regiment at some point. enemy, unknown.
nubbins`: i think they're making
a movie about him now.
nubbins`: guy escapes out window during
a shift change and hitchhikes back to town undetected.
mircea_popescu: just like the cataphract is
a logical step to the escalation of ... THE END OF FEUDALISM!
nubbins`: there's this famous guy here, leo crockwell. put
a gun to his sister's head
a few years ago
mircea_popescu: trinque honestly, this is why i believe the arming of police units with military stock is even done. it makes sense from
a "after the end" perspective : you want two mostly balanced forces, because that's your best chance at more or less peaceful stability.
mircea_popescu: so, i am
a famously grandiose master of women. and
a junior girl aspiring one day to the grandiose status of being my slave goes with me and some of the girls to the opera. lights go off, the girls take off their tops all matter-of-course like. she follows suit. why ? and then, afterwards, we discuss it over coffee and cookies. they are enamoured with it. so is she. why ? her "tabs" haven't been leaked, right ? what if
nubbins`:
a blink isn't communicating much
nubbins`: but that's what
