mircea_popescu: generally substance abuse in post soviet world would curl the contemporaneous mind. cluj tribunal, three levesl, maybe say 50k sq foot of floor space, a thousand or two (mostly women) working there had A TRUCK. i don'

mircea_popescu: people routinely ran out of / couldn'

mircea_popescu: back in those days, you couldn'

t products. this in the sense that their flux isn'
t pull, it's push (which is why the sellers are called pushers). so no, the mexican economy does not rely on others buying drugs anymore than britain's economy relied on chinese buying opium.

gabriel_laddel: ome and a weekend nights end at like 11pm because my generation deserves holocaust).

☟︎☟︎ trinque: gabriel_laddel can'

trinque: asciilifeform: can'
t compare that level of discipline to this
BingoBoingo: Tradition 3: The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. Doesn'
t say for how long...
gabriel_laddel: lolno. But when you "tweak" the ideas in your head start to drive rather than sane human things like "I shouldn'
t be fooling around with these love-glasses and the way they make the girls look in broad daylight" go out the window.
gabriel_laddel: Nono, just different. Fuck can'
t find the link -- but anyways, I had the idea that it'd be easier to hold a lightbulb over my head and head out on a Sat. night in sf than to network with people one by one
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform d-amph is better in that it far less physical, doesn'
t cause oxidative stress, isn'
t as much of a "scheming" high and won'
t make you tweak to the point of tripping face.
BingoBoingo: But yes, most people when drinking and drugging at problem level don'

☟︎ gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform anyway I respond it'll boil down to "gut instinct". And that's fine, because we've all got different
T levels, peni lengths, brain structures, heights and this determines what you're up for / can do.
trinque: if he spent any time stabilizing his life, he wouldn'

ben_vulpes: eh i don'

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: he doesn'

gabriel_laddel: but beyond that, I was applying to accelerators with this company because I don'

trinque: doesn'

t give a shit" : i'm ready to take over the governance of the entire world from the hands of the inept pretenders of today, as of yesterday. the result would be very ~different~, yes, but that's irrelevant.
ben_vulpes: and the truuuuuly hilarious thing is that howard stern has yet to fall to the #metoo crowd (possibly won'
t?), which just goes to show that there is zero strength in the defense of being nice and appeasing the everyone.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 07:17 mircea_popescu: i just hope 100k doesn'

mats: you could hawala if you don'

The20YearIRCloud: I'll let em know. For some reason I have
t his awful feeling they'll be more apt for that then to take the freebie offered years ago
mircea_popescu: somehow "criminal" isn'
t supposed to FIRST be notified PRIVATELY about how usg aims to assault.
mircea_popescu: "not overrun" but i don'
t see it sending agents to blow up dept of state trashbins.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t recall castro making any decision in the kennedy ultimatum, at any juncture.
mircea_popescu: somehow the idiots didn'
t see that whole thing for the trap it was. "first, let them build it, doh"
mircea_popescu: "don'
t vote for x, he not only would confiscate our constanta base BUT IS VERY CORRUPT" sorta bs.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: "we don'
t have any real news!" "eh, let them filter spam."
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to see things thatr aren'
t there. for as long as you live in the world of things that are there. once you move to living in the unreal...
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem, as that wise doctor pointed out, isn'
t when you start hearing voices, but when you start talking back.
mircea_popescu: "lifetime wanker will have adapted to his lifestyle". oh... you don'
t say.
mircea_popescu: wankery is the adolescentine state whereby the things we don'
t look at aren'
t there because the power of our imagination makes the playboy girl real!
mircea_popescu: there's no going back to a state of innocence, whereby "we don'
t know what's at the end of the earth". thereby, there's no going back to a state where we will ever do anything other than sift through herds looking for the accidentally lost woman in an inexplicable sheepskin.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your notion is anachronistic, in the sense that it compares a "hunter" cut out of the 10k years ago subsistence hunter contained in the expression hunter-gatherer with the modern farmer. you can'
t cross time boundries like that. modern hunter is modern in exactly the same way modern farmer is modern, and for the same reasons. historical "farmer" is just as primitive as the hunter, which is why it's even called
mircea_popescu: hunter, concerns, inasmuch as he bothers to notice frog is frog does not shoot at frog ; farmer, doesn'

diana_coman: you know, this "fairness" thing doesn'
t stand 10 minutes face with reality even through a child's eyes; if only s/he doesn'
t try with all might to not look or something
mircea_popescu: discussions of "rape" in the public space today, as discussions of "unfairness" in the same public space a century ago are then all meaningless in the direct, simple manifestations of a doomed culture. "oh noes, our precious imaginary superiority was insulted by reality, there's a hole in the matrix through which you can perceive you AREN'
T the single playing character in a WoWoW".
mircea_popescu: and turn it as i might, i can'
t separate the former from the hallucination of self-determination. rural "king of the world" in decayed to death sicily, dying british empire, romania throughout and recently the us cultural space imagines himself... in a position to... MAKE DECISIONS!!! has options! may at his leisure obey republic or not. and so on.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i suspect this goes right to babbage's point. to paraphrase, "i prefer living in america because when i explain something the british idiots dedicate themselves to rpoving to me orally how it couldn'
t work while the yanks are strictly focused on how it could be sold)
mircea_popescu: you can'
t go through any printed publication pre 1930 without running into at least an advertisement for used steam powered farm machinery as well as for new gasoline stuff.
diana_coman: I don'
t think he realised/understood/perceived the option or he'd have gone for it as far as I can tell otherwise
diana_coman: so it wasn'
t either work or mud that he ran away from; it really was as he stated it the idiocy
diana_coman: I don'
t doubt it; precisely my point above: they will go for whatever is cheapest available regardless of anything else
diana_coman: no, I don'
t; we always had leather shoes/sandals and I suppose I did not really notice much what others had for shoes

☝︎☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-29 13:16 mircea_popescu: take the general "entrepreneur", take paul biggar as a much better example. the kid is definitely intelligent. he wants to be an entrepreneur. which is a word, which has a meaning. he proceeds to usianize. this FAILS TO DELIVER, but a decade later he is STILL doing it. and apparently hasn'
t noticed ANYTHING about any of this. why not ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the things that don'
t have to be imported (colonials : chocolate, coffee, fresh fruit of land and sea etc) are much preferable. whore suffers naught for a 10 hour trip in the plane ; tuna quite does.
mircea_popescu: girl here can be had for a hundy a night, and she'll be pliant. he can'
t get what he's looking for in the us, at any price ; nor can he really afford the 2-3k a night top shelf (ie, teens, tall, nice figure, good manners etc)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 15:20 diana_coman: ahahaha "like mircea popescu or whatever his name is, but even with him i suspect he's not anywhere near as rich as he wants people to think he is - it doesn'
t add up; poorly fitted suits, average looking hotel suites/condos, spends all his time living in cheap shitholes which is precisely what white people who have money to live abroad but aren'
t rich do)" ; from ^^
mircea_popescu: oh. well pure cotton can'
t be used for clothing!!! bitch... this shirt on me, see it ? this is 100% cotton!
mircea_popescu: linen ? "linen can'
t be used for textiles because it frays" "your mom also frays. how about cotton ?"
mircea_popescu: i'm like "silk" dude recognizes the word, it's like i went to fish shop in 1980. "oh, THAT is what we don'
t have here!!! i know what it is! it's the thing this shop doesn'thave!"
