mircea_popescu: eh, we're not
trying
to requalify him into a salesman over here.
gabriel_laddel_p: On
the basis
that FG won't rest on some portion of
the state space when you
train your model
a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 22:52 asciilifeform:
to revisit upstack : i'd still like
to find
this shangri-la, between britney-rubbish and FG, where actual money is
to be made.
mircea_popescu: i suppose you could just put a huge rock on it, but
then
the horse'll die.
mircea_popescu: plowing
tractors have special hydraulics
to keep it in. lot of force, more
than
the pull.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: THAT is what qualifies, not
the butthurt bullshit of wanna-be princeses upset some other dorks
they cant' distinguish
themselves from got a cooler car.
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, get back
to me when any of
them actually work a field, by hand,
to make 100 dollars in 6 months of oxen labour.
mircea_popescu: with
the women making clothes by hand out of stolen scraps, and all
the complexities of soups etc.
mircea_popescu: get back
to me when you find a household making it on 30 dollars a month.
mircea_popescu: sure. heck,
there's even supermarkets
they can borrow it from.
mircea_popescu: lafond is hallucinating,
those people live in luxury.\
mircea_popescu: that may be ; but
there exists no ghetto in all of
the us
today
that can compare
to eg ghencea, or whatever other "urban development".
mircea_popescu: hm. maybe it's one of
those
things where it doesn't denote, it connotes. anyway, first one is a fine indication of subsistence living in question.
mircea_popescu: subsistence living has a peculiar meaning in romania of
the 80s.
mircea_popescu: i'm just saying, leverage isn't
this magical
thing from
the sky.
mircea_popescu: mp was born in a country where 20 dollars was a monthly salary. leverage is not so simple as all
that.
mircea_popescu: the correct approach
to "live rent free" is
to work it as a business.
the rest is poppycock.
mircea_popescu: nevermind
that. consider
this : my living arrangements, were
they
to be separated as an independent profit center, were in
the green pretty much every year for
the past 20.

through 6-7k each month since autumn, but i get
to go visit p diddy whenever i feel like it. it's a wash"
mircea_popescu: there's a reason ~everyone applies
that method.
the reason being 10 overbids 9 whereas 8 does not.
mircea_popescu: mmm. i dunno. i mean in
the sense condoms are
three bux or w/e, break
the "Student"'s budget
mircea_popescu: you want
to
technologize
talking
to people out of
the equation of living ?
mircea_popescu: actually, introversion per se is one
thing. much like jumping on one foot is one
thing. when you actually miss a leg it's a different story, and should regrow it!
mircea_popescu: why not you know, get used
to
talking
to mario $rando instead ? way
the fuck easier
than growing linen on
the open ocean.
mircea_popescu: "i don't want
to die, i just want
to go into a bottle."
mircea_popescu: what other people ?
the other people who will grow your fucking food and do your laundry ?
mircea_popescu: wait. he had an oceangoing vessel on "kalash budget" he bought off
the shelf ?
phf: last
time orlol's sail boat came up i linked some detailed plans by digital nomads for living houseboats.
those were decidedly not built on kalash budget (mostly funded by alphabet companies, because choke full of electronics)
mircea_popescu: and i fully expect
that as he drowns you'll find some other equivalent nonsense
to fully expect will work.
phf: reading orlol i
thought he already had a sailable device? why aren't
there plans&details for what he already allegedly has
mircea_popescu vaguely regrets he's not harun al rashid, sends sipahi over orlol's place, give him a year
to make
the damned
thing and force him
to sail in it.
mircea_popescu: "livable" you know.
the colonization of polynesia is living proof
that man can live on a plank.
phf: item
that sails for kalash money exists, miss rockaway armada likes
to build
those
mircea_popescu: it was,
then you just raise it six months later as if it hasn't.
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that fg can be bought, and escher's drawings can not be bought. orlol is of
the latter
type.
mircea_popescu: well, no, seeing how $ also product of mass industry. but yes, slavegirls make me all soreta
things for free
mircea_popescu: hey, i got a pair of
two dollar shoes
to sell you also.
mircea_popescu: the problem domain of "item
that sails" is wel lcatered
to.
the problem domain of "doods feel like
they're not personally interesting enough", never will.
mircea_popescu: you will never EVER be able
to beat for price
the discounted products of an industrial process
through artisanal craftsmanship.
mircea_popescu: you will have
to decide what your problem is. do you want cheap ? do you want made in kitchen ? do you want "looks like my wife's cunt" ? what, specifically, do you want ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 00:27 mircea_popescu: oh, yeah, and
the whole "rent free" nonsense bit a huge girder once i pointed out
to you what
the proper solution for
this boating bs is ;
then it
turned out
the whole
thing was more of an exercise in inverting naggum's matrices "to see if it could be done"
than anything specific.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 00:22 mircea_popescu: i need some roto'n culo
to "invent"
the houseboat for me like i need some indigent farmer
to invent a new religion on
the basis of "reading"
tablets fallen from
the sky.
phf: asciilifeform:
the specifics of rent racket are different, but same principles apply
to escaping modern rent racket in any kind of real sense, beyond "don't you hate paying rent??? what if i
told you you don't have
to pay rent ever again!1" snake oil
mircea_popescu: inexplicable, you know (never said maximillian) how i owe money
to merchants for armies
to defend/acquire
the very fucking
towns in which
these merchants live. how is it
that max owes fugger rather
than fugger owing max ?!
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 00:32 mircea_popescu: not like it wasn't fucking obvious, hence
the whole "student" vagabond class, already well entranched by
the
time of villon.
phf: we're so far away from
that division,
that it's hard
to reason about it, but on reflection it makes sense
