they have
time-locks and other safeguards on
the whole bullshit. but as a factual matter average redditard will have wasted no less
than 20k in cash by
the
time he's "established" in "the community".
BingoBoingo: Well,
the shithole rarely starts smelling better on its own
BingoBoingo: i.e dollars
that don't go straight
to college bezzel office
mircea_popescu: i'm working on old almanacs here, as i don't
tend
to seriously
talk
to 19yos.
mircea_popescu: this with no prejudice
to your figure re "what can actually be had in hand"

☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo chick i aspirated on
the
tail end of
this owes like 1/4mn
to usg according
to usg, and wasted about 60k on pot and stupid shit. "living expenses" ie "i was by myself and
they were giving me money. what."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it
tightened
that badly already, all usoviet is good for is ~decent restaurant meal ? <<
That's based off of
the free student loan money conduit. Eat 20 kilodollars in debt, get less
than 10 % in paperable for "living expenses"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly i
thjink you will be recalled as a sort of st peter-thomas in
the eventual church.
mircea_popescu: as a protection against change, it is a great life. except of course, as a justification of inertia, it is a
terrible life. pick and choose, if it's why not move
then it's because life is good, if it's why don't you have your boatirigible it's because life's bad.
mircea_popescu wouldn't have intuited alf
thinks he lives well, prior
to
this moment.
mircea_popescu: it's not
the same game except in
the estimation of
those who'd play it.

the circling will always come
to
the same square : do you wish
to live long, or do you wish
to live well.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
then again -- it was "plan for wealth" not "plan for survival".
there's no such
thing as a wealthy farmed pig. definitionally -- wealth of farm belongs with farmer.
mircea_popescu: it is generally
the argument of
the pig in farm
that
the forest has wolves, and no clearly market slop
through.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the amounts are not relevant.
the plan is "get all you can and get out".
mircea_popescu: and yet "everyone" acts as if
they have nfi what mp is saying re usd being ~worthless ?
mircea_popescu: which is why all
the africa/south america/etc supermarkets etc.
mircea_popescu: for
the record, i will state
that
the average chinese dood will be supported by
the chinese govt with 1-300k usd
to open shop abroad.
mircea_popescu: it
tightened
that badly already, all usoviet is good for is ~decent restaurant meal ?
mircea_popescu: provided
they spend a mon-fri interval applying for all
the possible credit cards
they can find, and
then spending saturday hitting all atms ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> any ustard can get 10-20k cash nqa. << Nah,
they might... if
they are lucky may
touch ~1.5-3 kilodollars cash
mircea_popescu: so in
this sense (not yet ready
to shave
the combined rsa-symkey model) not ready
to fly.
mircea_popescu: some
things, could be had but aren't ; other
things can't be had so we don't have
them. what can you do.
mircea_popescu: and i don't have a slave
that eats jam and shits whole prunes. NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE is
the controlling bit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because
they can't afford
to not fork-on-secrets
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there is also
the problem of shitty profiling,
times may not be accurate as measured.
mircea_popescu: yet once more poverty is
the edge distinguishing man from nigger.
mircea_popescu: basically
the other side of
the "constant
time" coin is
that... YOU GET CONSTANTTIME, BITCH.
