mircea_popescu: jurov i think you miss the points where he's being facetious
asciilifeform: jurov: i'm aware of the nuances, yes. incl. herr tito's story.
mircea_popescu: i doubt he wants it.
mircea_popescu: i don't see why he'd care about anything but sevastopol, myself.
jurov: i also heard there's an approach somewhere "mircea_popescu is evil"
mircea_popescu: so far their ideology pretty much reduces to "anything us is evil" as best i can tell.
jurov: if isis becomes concern, then i may consider their propaganda, too
jurov: i think what i think because i'm watching RT, too.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i said "because if you're reading the guardian&co, what you see there is coming out of the same sifon that yields the "putin is insane" spritz."
mircea_popescu: (your dislike i mean)
mircea_popescu: jurov you didn't like my position on isis and i was trying to articulate it.
jurov: i will probably move if it keeps progressing... what was the argument?
asciilifeform: bagels7: Can't I just make an honest living << at what?
bagels7: jehovah witnesses are child abusers and well I'm going to do something about it!
bagels7: Can't I just make an honest living
bagels7: i worked harder than anyone in my class and people would just say im smart so its easy for me and not a bid deal. I was learning japanese because I wanted to go to japan. but my cousin decided to go 5 years later on a whim because well she had suport for every step in her life where as me her mom and my dad held me back. Im just not planning on curing ebola or anything anytime soon.
jurov: he isn't insane.i'm merely concerned his doings might get me killed
undata: bagels7: touchy subject I'm sure; it'd take nuance to get my point about it across
mircea_popescu: jurov my position is, "their enemies which i don't particularly care for claim they be evil, but otherwise also got beat to shit". this i can go for.
jurov: mircea_popescu: how it can be divided from politics? "yeah they're utterly brainwashed zealots, but otherwise i like their political views"???
bagels7: undata: I'm a victim, I don't have a victim mentality. there is a difference. I did not have the slighest victi mentality from age 4 to age 22 concerning my mom leaving me
bagels7: the beatings were way worse than any bdsm "master" i had
asciilifeform: i'd include stallman - but my picture of 'graybeard' is about having experienced 'real computing'
undata: bagels7: I was raised revelations-cult christian
mircea_popescu: i think that part's disputed.
bagels7: I'm still rovering from the jehovah witness's and religious brainwashing

bagels7: well i knew that much
bagels7: i didn't major in art, :/
bagels7: i dont respect much gray hair anymore, due to being deceived with their lies
bagels7: i can visualise complicated 3d shapes
bagels7: back then I had a brain and motivation to learn, now i don't care. let white society burn
bagels7: my intelligence has greatly been reduced, my dad was an idiot, i wanted a computer since i was 13 but they only got one my second semester of college
undata: as I'd hoped college would do
undata: bagels7: I sought good mentors along the way who beat sensible habits into me
mircea_popescu: maybe my judgement is idiosyncratic, but i don't see it.
undata: now I'm doing my own thing in software
undata: bagels7: I'd held software jobs since 16, just went back to existing contacts for work
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't recall a humiliating defeat of the us and its allies at the hands of either iran or taleban.
asciilifeform: i'm with jurov on this one. both 'sent usa home' with tail between legs. and remain dreary idiot peasant uprisings.
undata: bagels7: I left because college in texas is a fucking joke
bagels7: can i use a credit card
jurov: mircea_popescu i don't get it, what sets isis aart from iran and taleban?
bagels7: undata: me too, but i flucked out due to paying for rent and food rather than school stuff
mircea_popescu: generally the way this works is someone asks a question and sometimes i pop an article out. but they're generally much more concrete.
bagels7: Hi, Im new so I was hoping you could link me to the most relevent articles since I only have 5 per week
mircea_popescu: imagine the whole saltmines of salt i need for all these other "reports"
mircea_popescu: i'd still take her reports with a grain of salt.
mircea_popescu: undata if i sent my spymaster there, and she operated without constraint and superhuman power to report,
undata: mircea_popescu: I've seen it mentioned several times that "ISIS" is the face of a force non-negligibly comprised of former baathists, etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would go so far as to say that isis is the thing that made the us destroy its permanent installations in baghdad, something that has not happened since china beatthem in vietnam.
mats_cd03: cazalla: i'm not surprised, /. would be a better audience than reddit
mircea_popescu: chetty i can see that angle.
chetty: I'm not so sure about the human material, Egyptians can't read maps ...
undata: asciilifeform: I wonder the same thing: is it a matter of policy to help re-establish a caliphate?
mircea_popescu: i do not see either of these.
mircea_popescu: i don't see that flow of causality.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iran - 'tried shit.' i would need serious evidence of pig flight before believing that fundamentalist clerical revolutions are anything other than usg 'yi yi zhi yi' methods.
mircea_popescu: cazalla> did ya know that reddit doesn't even come close << yes. i knew.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform take it another way : where do i have a better chance to sell the experiment being tried ? wash dc, london or baghdad ?
mircea_popescu: the russians being a fine example. i could readily stroke the same public knowledge to elicit a "I'm sure they're backwards as hell".
undata: I'm also sure I'd be told they fuck babies if it would persuade me to support another war
asciilifeform: aha islamic curriculum. i'm not seeing 'we'll kill adelberger & co. and force al schwartz's equivalence principle violation experiment to be carried out.'
undata: asciilifeform: oh shit, I mean to cut through it, I'm sure they're backwards as hell
mats_cd03: BingoBoingo: you know, i suddenly realized today when browsing your /. page that you're the reason why i'm here -- i saw your 'Bitcoin Baron' and OpenBSD headline and decided to pop in to see what was up
mircea_popescu: i've not heard of this.
undata: I've read they banned chemistry
mats_cd03: asciilifeform: i get the distinct impression that tools in volatile memory forensics are still relatively primitive (compared to disk forensics) in lots of ways ... Volatility and friends have developed a better understanding of win internals, but much of what they principally do is still brute force scanning. is this observation accurate? i'm fairly amateur
mircea_popescu: mthreat i had not.
undata: "Look I'm moving you peasants from this city to that because I want my rocket launch site there"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i do not see that such anti-intellectual stuff is anything but 2nd layer us propaganda re isis.
undata: I'd take a king who said what he was up to any day.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, i get that anti-intellectual 'black hundreds' phenomena are an expected thing. yes, they're inevitable after corrupt 'scientocracies' fuck up the planet. but - it still sucks.
mats_cd03: i suppose i'd do ok as a company grade officer.
mats_cd03: although, plenty of soldiers, i'm sure, if you were to ask...
cazalla: can i just be a cop that kills random nignogs
undata: and even that US policy might be to help that come about, though I think that's giving too much credit
undata: there's a podcaster I enjoy, Dan Carlin
mats_cd03: i think so too.
undata: I see your point
mircea_popescu: i wonder if mr "advanced permanent threat" lol can be relied on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought it was for the other reason
cazalla: undata, it's not that, i just hate hearing about the injustice and all this over shit, they play it over and over in the media here and we don't even have guns or nignogs
undata: cazalla: I'm merely pointing out that you enjoy assuming the nigger got what he deserved.
cazalla: i'm not arguing that taking a gun from a cop is a bad/good thing, just that if one tries, don't be surprised if shot
mircea_popescu: there wasn't at any point the possibility ~i'd~ get shot.
mircea_popescu: bitch was in no position to do anything. i could have shot her dead. that i didn't is an act of mercy on
mircea_popescu: well, she was either untrained or inept, but in any case a danger to herself an' others. and i knew her boss.
mircea_popescu: cazalla for what it's worth i did confiscate a "cop"'s gun once.
mircea_popescu: Sid3waY it's perfectly allowed, just, i dunno that anyone actuallytrusts it to keep money there.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i'll train em to fight like pokemon
cazalla: undata, i don't think that at all, i just think it's a bit much to cry over a cop killing a nignog who tried to grab his gun when said nignogs kill each other in greater numbers but no media circus there, no riots either
Sid3waY: I'm s1dew4y
Sid3waY: I'm looking for a Lil help on margin trading on bitfinex
undata: I grew up in TX, where cops shooting unarmed black kids doesn't even make the news.
undata: regarding undersea living, I'd be concerned that a hostile govt would simply destroy the thing
mats_cd03: too bad. i've got the paper version, but pulp doesn't have the "find" feature yet.
mats_cd03: asciilifeform: would you happen to know where i can find warez of "What makes it page?"
undata: thestringpuller: I said that, was accused of derpitude
asciilifeform: undata: notice that i did not specify what i personally like (who the hell cares) - but did make a claim re: mechanics.
