mircea_popescu: it's expensive. it was good money 20 years ago, and it's not going away.
mircea_popescu: but, in the interest of postmodernism, the kernel should have a futher /u/bias/ which should contain bits describing the bias-ness of the /u/rand
mircea_popescu: the source talking about bias is not a legitimate debiasing approach.
mircea_popescu: "Medical journals are rarely accused of ideological bias, they are accused of financial bias. The press are rarely accused of financial bias, they are accused of ideological bias. If you studiously spend one month looking for the opposite bias in both, what will happen is that you will become an alcoholic. "
mircea_popescu: how about "stop pretending like you're gonna be doing things and go to bed." ?
mircea_popescu: derpy "social worker" just gave himself a monopoly. he is needed, don;'t you know, because parents aren't "political proxies" for their children. heck, parents don't exist at all.
mircea_popescu: if you move the air fast enough it will actually add heat.
mircea_popescu: the only time you have to fan it is when the thing is INTOLERANT of temperature. the higher temperature it can tolerate the less fan you need.
mircea_popescu: (think about it - temperature helps its function, that's how it works).
mircea_popescu: i suppose in the south of the future the masters live in orbit and the slaves roam below. to be abducted now and again for sexual services or w/e.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: live in orbit, visit the surface like you visit the seaside today.
mircea_popescu: it's prohibitively expensive and also nonsensical to land a spaceship. and so...
mircea_popescu: no sane people wanted to live in the plain, for all of history, until machinery.
mircea_popescu: IF spaceships ever become a thing, then therefore surface living will be sort-of like mountain living today.
mircea_popescu: I think Rita Owens meant the statement "more Caucasian men stepping up" as a jab at blacks to get them movitated, but if it is factually accurate then these Caucasians are idiots. Really? Big Brothers? That's the call you heard? Whites seem particularly prone to manic devotions to faddish volunteerism inspired by celebrity that are transparently self-aggrandizing. And temporary-- they inevitably quit when the nex
mircea_popescu: "Here's what happened on 9/12 at my hospital, and what happens in so many cases of high-emotion altruism: they take the day off in order to go to NYC, but then don't actually go (car wouldn't start; heard on the radio they were blocking volunteers, etc). They win: they get the reward of the sacrifice, perform no actual sacrifice, and get the day off. Meanwhile, someone else had to sacrifice to cover their responsibil
mircea_popescu: please buy his old junk so he can uproot already kthx.
mircea_popescu: well he didn't invent it, he still made it. if you got a fish in a fishtank and it makes a poop, it didn't make that poop ?

mircea_popescu: and this isn't that far fetched, either : us is just about due for a dead president.
mircea_popescu: ahaha. if "meets obama" clocktard comes back a decade later onboard a plane that slams into the wh and kills the us president, i WILL write the "obama trained a future terrorist" article.
mircea_popescu: iting, she does not even acknowledge that he vomited. Is she heartless? No. She's flustered: her instinct is to preserve the show, like a stage actress, keep the scene going no matter what else happens."
mircea_popescu: You may think that I'm too much with the rum or too hard on Wolf-- "he seems like such a nice man" but it's not Wolf's fault. He's a cog in the Matrix. The next day Meredith Vieira interviews the family live on the Today show. While the father is denying to her it was a hoax, the boy suddenly says, "mom, I need a cup" and vomits. Vierra's response to this is nothing. Forget about the implications of the boy's vom
mircea_popescu: If you agree with this, then you have to also face the fact that Wolf didn't consciously plan, "no matter what happens in this interview, I'm going to cover it up"-- it was a reflex, an instinct. Get a drink, think about this: a reporter's instinct wasn't to go for the truth, but to go with the scripted story.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "What happened is that Wolf was in the middle of a story some people suspected was a hoax, but was still being reported as a "thank god he was hiding in the garage" drama. So he tried to protect the story. He tried to pretend he missed the comment so that everyone could go on with the story as it was being told.
mircea_popescu: "here's my very expensive excuse as to why i'm not going out of the house. it's not that im borderline autistic, it's that i save the environment. from myself."
