mircea_popescu: calling a computer "a box" is perhaps the most telling of all freudian seepage ever.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yeah. you know what's wrong ? that you want to fuck it, is what's wrong. sadly, there's not going to be any solution to people wnating to fuck their computers.
mircea_popescu: A LOT more research is needed before the cult will be happy with the cult's own understanding of what RNG even fucking means (ie, stands for) in a computing environment.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: what are you trying to fix, the atrocious gpg malleability issues ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: o wait you're no longer oppressing alt-language tards/noobs over at tardtalk ?
mircea_popescu: but did you even get banned from fetlife irl or something ?
mircea_popescu: until butthurt somethingawfulers add your name to the list of the various idiots you either personally sunk or otherwise frontrun the sinking of, you've not really made it!
mircea_popescu: while there's nothing wrong with a 20yo playing with a dollhouse in her hoisiery, there IS something very very wrong with a 20yo that actually thinks of dolls as if they were people. or that "animals have rights too!", which is exactly a proxy for that.
mircea_popescu: stop playing with the toys ? likely, but not necessarily. stop thinking the toys were actual things ? definitely, foundationally.
mircea_popescu: they CAN. and they should. the reason they don't has a lot to do with that peerless question of "what would tlp do if he individuated".
mircea_popescu: "Ponder that flippant run-on sentence for its hidden truth. Who judges whom? What are the criteria for becoming a judge? It's not popularity; nor the sophistication of the staff and writers; or the insight of a director. In the hierarchy of authenticity and truth, which one is at the top? Why can Variety call someone "internet obsessed" but no one can call Variety a "comic book" which, as I am about to show, it is
mircea_popescu: "There is something presumptuous, not to mention deluded, about a print magazine that no one reads claiming that a movie no one will see is a peerless window into something anyone can access anytime they want."
mircea_popescu: this one single thing is about 130% of what -the best of the best!- pr does, so let's put pete_d on notice about it.
mircea_popescu: (which is code for, you publicly humiliate them. that's the worst that can happen to a wanna-be journo. and in 2015 there exists nothing other than wanna-be in that biz.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if they won't not let you, if they won't be EAGERLY complicit in your control of "their" codes, you punish them.
mircea_popescu: rsons. they might write IN the washington post, but for as long as they write ABOUT you they write FOR you. so they can write whatever they want, but they do NOT get to write "upscale neighbourhood", or, as tlp's apt example goes "If they profiled me it woudl start, "Wearing a disheveled undershirt clutching a rock..." and leave it to you to make an objective assessment (="drunkard, likely unbalanced.")".
mircea_popescu: this is, incidentally, a fundamental point to be considered for those inclined to interact with the scum (aka, non-qntra reporters), a point which that seduction expert (i don't recall which one but was in the logs - something about how he went on a "live" show where the 5 dollar audience bood him on cue) : you do want to control their codes. because you must project your own ownership of reality, and of their sorry pe
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in the restaurant is so that random fishwrap can say "upscale neighbourhood" like it means something.
mircea_popescu: " They don't give his age, they give a physical description. Media-- and The New Yorker is probably the wost offender of this-- offers a physical description of their subject as a code about their character in exactly the way the media would never allow a regular person to do." <<< right, because it's not about anythihng but trying to misrepresent themselves as powerful. the only reason random derp can't say "nigger"
mircea_popescu: so very damaging, the themes of female submission. to otherwise unemployable, wasted-life-is-only-a-matter-of-time 13yo girls trapped in 25something female bodies.
mircea_popescu: "hool teacher to determine the curriculum's rigor. But the samples also tell something about the readers. "I had one essay that said how awful Twilight was"--the essay was about damaging themes of female submissiveness in the series--"and I was like, 'Admit her!' " says Melissa Faulner, a 2006 grad on the committee."
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many kids actually earnestly trying to play that lottery know this is going to be the case and write to that audience (barristas)
mircea_popescu: And some are, I guess, there's got to be an Admissions Dean in the building somewhere. But the average applicant is writing an essay that he thinks an adult with a suit and three kids would want to read. Instead, it's probably being read by someone who can't wait for the new iphone and still bites their nails. Ten grand says they think Jon Stewart is "a freakin' political genius.""
mircea_popescu: In every college admissions website, they are referred to as "Admissions Officers." While I didn't assume they were in the military, I suppose I did assume they were... old. er.
mircea_popescu: that's why the fuck there are two parents : so they're not both mothers, and so that one of them says exactly that, and on occasion actually prevails.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "0. The diagnosis will make the parents want to try and help the child. This is axiomatic. No parent with access to services will be told their kid has a diagnosis of "PDD" or Asperger's and say, "not interested, let's wait a few years and see how this goes." Once a diagnosis is made, the psychiatric juggernaut is activated. " << no MOTHER.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but EXACTLY. minus, of course, the violence, the act of will. a negotiated, agreed upon, "by the power" deal.
mircea_popescu: Where have you ever heard the words, "by the power vested in me?" That's right, it's a domestic partnership, a marriage of sorts, and rather than try and un-pc figure out which one's the girl and which one's the boy simply observe that person B finds actualization by completely subsuming his own identity into the business of person A, who in turn gets the leisure time to pursue other interests (like drumming.) That,
mircea_popescu: ;;google and there's nothing short as dying that's half as lonely as the south
mircea_popescu: if that worked we wouldn'\t even know what "conscientious" programmer means.
mircea_popescu: vulpes_a_hopital do you have ANY IDEA what's involved in rendering html ?
mircea_popescu: mpoe-pr. her stuff is still remembered long after everyone forgot wtf gavin is supposed to have done last year.
mircea_popescu: no, was is the right verbal form there. it's not tense, it's aspect.
mircea_popescu: your odds of finging it amonmg all the words are negligible.
mircea_popescu: yes. while it's true that trilema hosts one of the largest porn galleries in the western world,
mircea_popescu: anyway. there is respectable research into this, they actually make sense, going in after 42 is the right move.
mircea_popescu: vulpes_a_hopital do yourself a favour and read something else.
mircea_popescu: it's not his van giving birth BingoBoingo it's his wife.
mircea_popescu: vulpes_a_hopital those don't exist. if she goes over 42.5 or so the doctors usually go in.
mircea_popescu: anyway. let it be said real women deliver around the time strip clubs close. 6am, that sorta thing
mircea_popescu: (quote from actual father, many years ago "dude you will not FUCKING BELIEVE how much water is in there!")
mircea_popescu: who the fuck takes the woman to the hospital before she floods the room i want to know!
mircea_popescu: what i mean is. for as long as it stays under half a day it's not even a moderately big deal.
mircea_popescu: vulpes_a_hopital seriously, labour under 12 hours is not even uncommon. can start worrying next month.
mircea_popescu: "if he were ~~~truely~~~ conscientious he'd take better care of himself. plus he wouldn't go around killing people." yeah im sure.
mircea_popescu: is the assassin eating cake for breakfast at 11 am with a well oiled, well cleaned rifle in his lap - that he cleans and oils properly, every time, and has, irrespective of howp his profession makes it a dispoasable item - conscientious or not conscientious ?
mircea_popescu: "conscientiousness", really ? might as well score 19yo hussies by their understanding of the theses of the 18th congress.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this, as ben aptly pointed out the obvious to anyone who ever competently managed, or even sanely lived in proximity of programmers, is an outrageously clueless exercise in reductionism to the point of meaninglessness.
mircea_popescu: and I don't know any guy in the world who has an extra pack of socks available "just in case." << now you do. chicks (that don't even wear underwear!) carry spare socks and similar stuff around for my convenience. so there!
mircea_popescu: "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" pretends to be a PSA against child sex slavery. What it really is an effort in rebranding. In this clip, you see Ashton Kutcher. If you had to find 300M Americans to be on a list of "Real Men," and every person in America except for Ashton Kutcher had been eaten by a giant squid, Ashton Kutcher would still not make that list, ever.
mircea_popescu: although a meta-study conducted in 1999 showed him to be no worse than average
