mircea_popescu: wait wasn't oregon the beer state ? i thought wisconsin mostly made the plastic cheese.
mircea_popescu !downs ascii_field because hey. at one instance in time eh ? :D
mircea_popescu: what exactly is it about wisconsin that makes it "real world" anyway.

mircea_popescu: actually mike has it. this is i agree the best avenue to approach the problem. this is what's "evil", binaryatrocity : that in the pursuit of a fundamentally, inescapably false bit of fiction, you are asked to forfeit your actual life.
mircea_popescu: the reasonable assumption is a beast that wasn't yet born.
mircea_popescu: last fucking thing a spammer wants is the attention of intelligent people.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field spanish is the most spoken language in the us, get off.
mircea_popescu: gee, i dunno. the fact they exist, as opposed to squirming in a lake full of its own guts ?
mircea_popescu: and then in the same day ima have to explain to well intentioned fellows what is evil about usg-tronics.
mircea_popescu: anmd then reddit will go "see ? |REDDIT DRIVES TRAFFIC!!11"
mircea_popescu: davout no, because "irrelevant" MP is going to accidentally by an apropos drive 50000% more traffic than reddit\
mircea_popescu: "well if you're already there it looks like there's people there". sure. same is true of grand central station
mircea_popescu: aye. just for my own amusement, i had a subreddit created ; and seeded it with a coupla posts.

mircea_popescu: let me guess alfie, you mistook a new-ish chevy for jaguar.
mircea_popescu: maybe a good move is ben_vulpes recent article on cascadian hacker.
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah but that's not meaningful to him. because dat variety speak.
mircea_popescu: binaryatrocity it's not that simple. that's just a symptom. keybase is bad because is made by the enemy, to suit the agenda of the enemy. the compromise key is just a symptom of this fundamental allignment with evil.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you know more poor people buy status symbol items on credit than rich people buy them cash ?
mircea_popescu: binaryatrocity that's not wqhat it does. what it does is, it allows keybase.io to PRETEND like they're relevant, based on your own work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pushing a point, sending an ack to a
http server is pretty much the same as sending an ack to any other
http server.
mircea_popescu: this is the sort of thing one can't understand from outside.
mircea_popescu: but hanging out / using people who do a bad thing, even if they're not doing it to you, is dubious.

mircea_popescu: "and we'll make medicine work that way too because there can only be one of anything"
mircea_popescu: "oh, we don't have the continental legal system here - we have an adversarial system" good for you
mircea_popescu: e jury must decide the fate of the defendant-patient. And the FDA--judge simply makes sure everyone is civil. Not accurate, save for outright perjury; just civil."
mircea_popescu: I'm going to repeat this because I know people are going to misunderstand me: the system that you want is impossible to construct in the framework of modern medicine, if for no other reason than doctors don't read-- derive no benefit from reading. The system does not exist, and you cannot create it. Psychiatry is politics; medicine is the justice system. Pharma are the opposing lawyers, and doctors are the jury. Th
mircea_popescu: a treatment. It's not all the doctors' fault; but that's the system.
mircea_popescu: "Pharma is the backbone of medicine, because, unfortuantely, medicine is about treatment, not prevention. If a doctor recommends exercise, or garlic, or even aspirin, it's a sidenote, and a quaint one. "Oh, my doctor thinks I should move to Florida for my asthma!" Meanwhile, they'll give out the amoxicillin to every crying toddler, even though they know that that is detrimental. you know why? Because it looks like
mircea_popescu: imo the right play would be to stop refreshing and move to a "provide your pubkey in pastebin" model. prhaps even to be enhanced to a "ask someone in wot to sign your pubkey and give it to assbot" later. too soon for that imo.
mircea_popescu: all neurosis works the same way, the subject replaces the thing as is with a construct in his own head.
mircea_popescu: the ancient theory on consumptive masturbation was that monsters are a figment of the imagination, and so the practical cure was to expose the young man to ACTUAL, ie, anatomically accurate depictions of the other gender. what today we'd call porn.
mircea_popescu: with any luck you'll be cured before you lose your 2nd tooth.
mircea_popescu: for young males with anxiety "disorders" the only workable solution is to get into a lot of fights.
mircea_popescu: and concentrate that time, and then get the hell out of the way."
mircea_popescu: "I have a surprising piece of advice for parents, which I hope will be taken in the spirit it is offered: your kid doesn't want to be around you that much. No one does. This isn't because you're a bad person but because you're an ordinary person. You are not such a unique, creative, intelligent or even interesting person that the kid benefits from constant exposure to you. When you have something to offer, maximize
mircea_popescu: i've seen the thing where after a bout of sustained fucking her cunt would leak of its own volition for another fucking hour, yes. but what is this sandy bitch bs.
mircea_popescu: i have never, ever, in my fucking life been in a situation where pumping dried out the woman. how the fuck does this work even ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: y, that one more condom wouldn't make the necessary difference."
mircea_popescu: "I met the woman at a Broadway show, but the night's best piece of acting, I'd say, came from me, back at her East Village apartment, after we'd been having sex for about 25 minutes, with Neil Young wailing the song "Comes a Time" from the laptop on her bedside table. The dried-out condom had a full-bodied choke hold on me, but I'd already stopped twice to put on a fresh one, and I knew, as I kept earnestly pumping awa
mircea_popescu: i doubt it's actually possible for a proper dead end, in nature.
