mircea_popescu: are you an amateur astronomer or an amateur astrologer ?
mircea_popescu: "And in Georgia, a state appeals court in 2004 upheld a hospital's decision to kick Dr. Donald Ray Taylor off its staff. The anesthesiologist had admitted giving young female patients rectal and vaginal exams without documenting why. He'd also been accused of exposing women's breasts during medical procedures. When confronted by a hospital official, Taylor said, "Maybe I am a pervert, I honestly don't know," according
mircea_popescu: perhaps. or perhaps the guy is so fucking cool, the rules actually do not apply to him. "oh, that's impossible". of course it is, and if you believe that it's for you.
mircea_popescu: his is a different situation, let me explain..." followed by two hours of words. There's always an explanation, it's always different this time, which just means it's exactly the same."
mircea_popescu: "That's narcissism-- "writ large" as they say in magazines that suck. Even if the drugs made him completely insane, the fact is that he regularly puts himself in situations that involve something getting punched, and the only explanation for that is that he doesn't see rules as objectively applying to him, he only sees his behavior as situational, in his context. In other words, there's always this: "well, hold on, t
mircea_popescu: next one gets out of line she'll be getting the People's Elbow." << the sad, sad world in which tlp lives. then we go all harsh on him for being weird re some things.
mircea_popescu: to rethink the need for my existence. I'd also be scared that she'd call the cops and shamed as a woman beater, ruining my life and/or career; and I'd be Ed Norton 25th Hour terrified of going to jail. Charlie Sheen apparently feels none of these fears, at all, ever. After he beat up the first bitch who deserved it he should have sworn of bitches just out of self-preservation, but no, back into the mix, and if the
mircea_popescu: ""He's not a bad guy, he just has a problem." Actually, you have that backwards, he doesn't have a problem, he is a bad guy. I know this because he beat up (allegedly, at least) two women. This isn't the place to get into whether the bitch done deserved it, running her mouth all damn night long, the point is his thinking about it. If I (allegedly) beat up a girlfriend, I'd feel TREMENDOUS guilt, I would really have
mircea_popescu: anyopne have any inkling of an idea as to why i might have registered f9beb4d9.org ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway, anyone harassed (do they still do that ?) by gpl weirdos over internet-legalese, point to google, laugh.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (google uses the gpl as a urinal and has, for years. this is not, i think, a secret.) << "don't be evil"!11
mircea_popescu: after which you spend however long having lithe orgasms
mircea_popescu: not how it works. the trick is very slow stimulation. takes the usual half hour
mircea_popescu: "Partial isolated prolactin deficiency is rare, and case reports of total isolated prolactin deficiency are rarer still and may have a genetic component (ie, familial puerperal alactogenesis). Although the endocrine and metabolic function of prolactin is not fully understood, the clinical manifestation of prolactin deficiency is probably limited to puerperal alactogenesis." << sayeth Charles T Benson, MD, PhD
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but the way this works isn't like the man in the iron mask. the way this works is to create a fetish of power. "why is X no longer Y ? how can Z become now Y ?" "it's the mask, stupid"
mircea_popescu: ask pet how does she square the fact that women can't be seen without makeup/their pursew with the fact that most of their existence they spend without either ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we did the entire male milking thing with bb a few months ago
mircea_popescu: turns out fanapt has 5ht7 activity, afaik tlp is right : unique to this drug
mircea_popescu: imagine how the past two weeks would have looked like if ballas was actually up there in the wot.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski unlike in the case of tlp, i'm also here to scream back.
mircea_popescu: this incident aside, the cultural production of b-a/b,tmsr~/the cult/however you wish to call it is both scary and exploding on an exponential. i dunno how we'll cope.
mircea_popescu: i do however hold all these as conversation openers, if anyone ever feels like delving into one of the articles etc i'll be happy to hear the conversations. truth is digesting tlp will take more than just this.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - im almost done with 2010, there's only ~4 years left, i should hope im done this month.
mircea_popescu: jurov ikr ? i've been spamming the shit out of tlp, but the truth is it's a much more convenient format than trying to make all thgese half and quarter articles into trilema items.
mircea_popescu: that's why chris rock / chapelle were so important. they didn't make it tho.
mircea_popescu: and so you know, there's a b lister that's kinda half-black or whatever, from kenya. nobody cares. get all agitated when carson v2.0 turns out to be black.
mircea_popescu: "From this very clear description of the problem comes the most terrible solution imaginable: let's go back to the authoritarian approach." << exactly. there is a reason the schelling points of failing socialism are always PERSONS. you don't like colbert, pick another Dear Leader. what you can not do is go all "country of laws not men", that's dead.
mircea_popescu: (and, note, colber's power has EXACTLY NOTHING to do with "TV" in the sense of "system". the franchises use actors in masks now, because they want to keep the copyrights, it's their "Character"| and why should an actor get to own the face of their character. but colbert is not that. so, no, it's not the system.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but what difference does it make what a senator [says he] thinks ?
mircea_popescu: the fact that i get a seat at the table and you have to wait for the reporters to invite you in, that's the criteria.
mircea_popescu: and he told them exactly what you'd expect : my magic is more powerful than your magic, notwithstanding that your magic contains a statement of its own all-powerfullness and my magic doies not. this is not the criteria.
mircea_popescu: the tv personality went there AS A TV PERSONALITY, to confront the other tv personalities. because that's what everyone in congress is : a b lister, of dubious talent, coming not from central casting but from ballot casting.
mircea_popescu: what doesn't work is you derping about how things shiould be. never has. never will.
mircea_popescu: capitalims got you from where your president couldn't afford to pay the bill to stay in a hotel in Europe, so he had to stay in the stable section of a cheap inn, to where you could derp about how things should be. it works.
mircea_popescu: "hey, i didn't lose any weight on that mcdonalds diet - because corporations are evil ; nor when i went to that magical fairy wicca woman, because she was a scammer. but it didn't even work while i was PRETENDING to be working out while watching chicks work out on tv! clearly dieting doesn' work! certainly being fat is the natural state of stupid people!"
mircea_popescu: there's a reason socialism is the ideology of the stupid, and it's this sorta fatlogic
mircea_popescu: now they move on to pretending like the failure of the third attempt as socialism was really called for no reason "capitalism" and lo and behold, socialism failing EVEN WHEN IT MASQUERADES AS CAPITALISM proves ~capitalism~ doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: gotta hand it to the socialist mind. after having spent 50 years explaining how the predictable, obvious and necessary failures of both socialist systems seen to date "aren't really failures of socialism - because the nazis were evil and stalin was wrong),
mircea_popescu: "The global capitalist system is approaching an apocalyptic zero point... comprised by an ecological crisis, the consequences of a biogenetic revolution, imbalances within the system itself, and the explosive growth of social divisions and exclusions."
mircea_popescu: rs. And our sales for those first few hours on the first of the month are substantially and significantly higher."
mircea_popescu: "And you need not go further than one of our stores on midnight at the end of the month. And it's real interesting to watch, about 11 p.m., customers start to come in and shop, fill their grocery basket with basic items, baby formula, milk, bread, eggs,and continue to shop and mill about the store until midnight, when electronic -- government electronic benefits cards get activated and then the checkout starts and occu
mircea_popescu: he had a "business" to make 8kb or larger rsa keys for "Cusomers"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Women didn't earn this over the resistance of an old boy network; the media conglomerates decided it would be awesome to televise a hyperfemale in a locker room with a nearly naked hypermale and pretend there's no sexuality implied. So anything that goes wrong is between individuals, nothing to do with the Machine.
mircea_popescu: Note the power set up. All you fools think that female reporters are in the locker rooms because it is some sort of measure of equality, "why should the males get the best interviews?" that this is somehow a success for equality, something that women had to struggle to earn, and you think that because you were told that.
mircea_popescu: It may be unfair, but it is the most important fact of human existence: people exist independently of you."
mircea_popescu: "What you want is to be able to behave sexy, or rude, or ridiculous, or offensive-- and still demand to be seen the way you want to be seen.
mircea_popescu: or as usgavin_fucktardessen would say, "i always advocated engagement".
mircea_popescu: this, even if only prototyped, is well in excess of a billion dollars in nsa budget costs. which is, and will for a while be, quite sufficident.
mircea_popescu: for bonus points : shoots all possible intel "optimization" in the head
mircea_popescu: i rcall one ridiculous instance was something about i dunno, b-a related somehow
mircea_popescu: didn't you get banned for spamming something or the other
