mircea_popescu: like what happens, google takes his email away gives it to whoever ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in the good news department - progressing illiteracy means they've moved on from featuritis to fixing comments in the code so it no longer includes the string "retarded" and all " he" is replaced with "erzsjebet".
mircea_popescu: i vaguely remember the thing but i can't tell you which article
mircea_popescu: calling this mp is a gross misattribution, the idea's old and well discussed/accepted
mircea_popescu: basically the problem of all these idiots stems from the twin grasp of a) design is not a deliberate activity but "should arise naturally", like their delusional view of identity, love, hapiness et all ; b) 0 actual experience, entire life lived in the narrow constraints of for-play reality.
mircea_popescu: "why is this a good function ?" "because for hiding" "why is something good is not accepting something exists and seeking the ex post facto rationalization of that existence, this isn't fucking school." "oh"
mircea_popescu: "This is a good function for hiding information from someone who doesn’t want to see it or doesn’t want to see it very much. "
mircea_popescu: for the same reason old tripod web pages got a "guestbook"
mircea_popescu: iirc the decision libc is not salvageable is months old by now
mircea_popescu: "Here's a transcript of an illegal recording not done by the NSA that therefore everyone is ok with, consistent with our new standard of conduct: it is not illegal to make an illegal recording as long as it is given to the media and they profit from it and we can use it to rationalize our lives. Got it."
mircea_popescu: but anyway, yes, that's exactly the problem : slavery without a master is hollow. hence all the matrix stuff.
mircea_popescu: liably oppresses another; but that the entire system is based on creating a lack. This lack is not a bottomless hole that nothing could ever fill, but a tiny, strangely shaped divot in your soul into which nothing could ever fit: not money, not sex, not stuff, not relationships. Nothing "takes." Nothing counts. Nothing is ever right. Only novelty works, until it wears off."
mircea_popescu: "Hess yells about a world of masculine power because she has the power to yell at it. But of course her power is limited only to yelling, she is impotent against a troll who yells at her. But her mistake is in thinking he has the power. No one has it, the system doesn't allow it. Even the mighty Economist demo feels impotent. Are they all delusional? This is the true critique of the system, not simply that one group re
mircea_popescu: " A former night-club dancer tells dirty stories about her ex-colleagues to the refined Orthodox language teacher, who does not know whether to block her ears or to laugh." << this is the gain.
mircea_popescu: just like if you get the wrong 10% of the rent market you're out of busienss as a landlord ; or if you get the wrong 10% of patrons your pizzeria's dead etc.
mircea_popescu: yeah, there's not much substance there. not only is only 10% of the money in alts, and not only does this mean a billion alts, but the important point is that it's a selected 10%, and selected badly/for stupidity.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller okay, but kinda contextless like this... i mean, some nobody on some obscure site somewhere on the internet is all timecube into his alt-reality. ok... kinda you know, slapstick-y.
mircea_popescu: nd NOT being able to do anything with it except spend it on the system-wide approved gimmicks: Trading Up, college educations, the National Bank of S&P 500."
mircea_popescu: "Why would the The Economist's rich and powerful demo want to be ruled? Because they aren't powerful, only rich, all that time getting rich did not translate to any power, only the trappings of power. So they've postulated a fantasy power structure/NBA owners that explains why they can't enjoy their lives as they think they should-- to absolve themselves of the guilt they feel for having money/intellect/opportunities a
mircea_popescu: so you're losing relevance. who the fuck is "you" anyway, i have no idea who Steve Sokolowski is supposed to be and that mug doesn't say anything other than "future unemployed college grad" to me.
mircea_popescu: "Something interesting started to happen this week. Last week, 82% of our payouts were being taken in bitcoin. Currently, 72% of payouts are being paid in bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: aneurysm is better than stroke because closer to b than to w.
mircea_popescu: for someone who knows enough of pgp to say "Besides, there’s no power in abolishing anonymity, the power is in giving everyone the pretense of anonymity while secretly retaining the PGP keys to the kingdom."...
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, check out the miserable shape of tlp's html
mircea_popescu: lowest effort, like us college level : left his links in even.
mircea_popescu: I'm a writer based out of East Village, Manhattan. I work from my condo and local coffee shops (and a few restaurants with menus that are more unhealthy than licking a subway railing), meeting friends who have boats or boat access, touring the zoo for the zoo to visit my ex-boyfriends, and forcing my political beliefs on others at social events (kidding, don't be one of those people."
mircea_popescu: ;;google "Be content to bind them by laws of trade. You have always done it. And let this be your reason."

mircea_popescu: the gas chambers, Kastner had sacrificed the mass of Jewry for a chosen few, the judge said. The verdict triggered the fall of the Israeli Cabinet.
mircea_popescu: other SS officers, thus allowing Becher to escape prosecution for war crimes. The Israeli government sued Gruenwald for libel on Kastner's behalf, resulting in a trial that lasted 18 months, and a ruling in 1955 that Kastner had, in the words of Judge Benjamin Halevy, "sold his soul to the devil". By saving the Jews on the Kastner train, while failing to warn others that their "resettlement" was in fact deportation to
mircea_popescu: Kastner moved to Israel after the war, becoming a spokesman for the Ministry of Trade and Industry in 1952. In 1953 he was accused of having been a Nazi collaborator in a pamphlet self-published by Malchiel Gruenwald, a freelance writer. The allegation stemmed from his relationship with Eichmann and another SS officer, Kurt Becher, and from his having given positive character references after the war for Becher and two
mircea_popescu: but i am pretty blown away that they really think this is a sane approach. either unemployment/hunger/despair is a lot higher than i thought
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is how it's packaged/sold by media, not how people actually think
mircea_popescu: understand, at the statistical level we're discussing, the delusions of the scum don't matter.
mircea_popescu: except this isn't how it works. "nsa is tits for pig" well ?
mircea_popescu: a "secret service" whose name is in the press ? seriously ?
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, it's not 5%, but it's not the 30%ish that'd be required for this nigerianess ?
mircea_popescu: is unemployment THAT bad that the proles have actually given up on anything, will take the meal ticket ?
mircea_popescu: nobody makes a lot of money working for fucking nsa, it's worse than civil service for chrissakles, you'll end up married to a "social worker" and she'll pull more than your weight on the single room mortgage.
mircea_popescu: i don't really follow the appeal of this tho. so you get a nsa job, what's the value ? i mean, top quant uni, top high street lawyers uni, i can see, the idea is "go here maybe you get a golden ticket - make a lot of money"
mircea_popescu: but yeah, obviously. there was a ghetto before the ghetto in berlin, too.
mircea_popescu: only gender. nigglet = diminutive thereof, a two bit player in niggerdom.)
mircea_popescu: (for the innocent, nigger = a particular sort of demagogue, characteristic to the fall of the us empire. like all demagogoues, the corpse of a once-great realm is his ; like all demagogues he attempts to whip the underclass into hysteria in the hope of somehow exchanging it for value later on ; his minor specificity is that he uses hallucinated "social issues" as frothing agents, usually to do with skin tone, less comm
mircea_popescu: pro tip : by the time you start hearing about "african arrogance", you've missed the diamond train.
mircea_popescu: if this entire line's correct, there's about 50-50 odds for black concentration camps before the decade's out.
mircea_popescu: hilary doesn't stand a chance, in this atmosphere. for that matter, it wouldn't be surprising if the democratic party splits up, in multiple bits even.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the nigglets are furious at the dismal quality of plunder, have been postponing hopes at the cost of increased hoped-fors. by now they're not just willing to but actually proceeding to beheading the niggers.
mircea_popescu: the more i think about it, the more it seems obvious in retrospect that obama ii was a sort of libtards' own kamakura moment.
