mircea_popescu: which was
the
thing, back
then, "of course he's not going --
to ag or anywhere else.
too far from home, country boy."
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the only reason
this is lulzy is because (different) girl estimated him incapable of going further
than a few hundred miles for cultural / mentality reasons.
mircea_popescu: then
they worry about ~my~ bitcoin income. i suppose cows also worry about human dwelling -- no large salt rock in livingroom, how do
those poor people live!
mircea_popescu: which
takes us right back
to
the kako lulz. i was sitting with girl earlier, idly observed "check out
that dork, argentina was
too far for him. china -- not. what
the fuck is wrong with people." and she explained. "you know what it is. bitcoin went up. you're
thinking, eh, he made hundreds, what does he care. he cares -- because he mostly sold
them as he got
them, good little soviet."
mircea_popescu: well yes,
the
thing is weak in all articulations, including
that one.
mircea_popescu: cow finds out how
to walk on
two legs, extract ore, smelt metal, build helicopter, fly over
to californy come back with another bushel of oats ? what is
this, supercow al rescate ?
mircea_popescu: conceivably someone in
the eg donner party went over
to
the cattle,
to
tell
them
that
they're fucked, feed's running out, etc. if
they did,
there was certainly no observable change in cattle behaviour.
the fuck were
they gonna do ?
mircea_popescu: the result of making all possible change, even
the most dismal and unimportant, mindboggling expensive is a large set of cows.
they dun care. why shouyld
they care ? while
the oats & hay lasts
they eat and foal ; once it ends it ends.
that's all.
mircea_popescu: can't even argue with it. in
their environment, it dun pay
to care. what's gonna happen, gunman shows up massacres
the lot ? hurr, not like ~anything
their brains could come up with'd help in
that situation. what other environmental pressure do
they encounter ? nothing surmountable. if
the corp
trough has pepsi
that day,
they can stand on fuckiong head won't get coke. "company policy".
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure
that's right,
they literally don't give a shit about anything
that's further out
than lunch break /
takes more
thought
than lulzpic etc.

the actual lolz are fluffyponzi ignoring "hey, gonna make
that 'monero blockchain integrity scan' reproducible?" in favor of "we had
to keep it secret because other cryptonotes were vulnerable"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: has
to come out of a script at
this point
a111: Logged on 2016-05-24 13:14 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "I’m all for filth but on my
terms, bucko." <<
they can't quite figure it out lol.
the ~only~ "on my
terms" woman gets is if her
terms happen
to (silently!) coincide. otherwise... it's
the dogs. << Seriously

☟︎ ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: just
the
typical "inflate inflate!" if you remember
that guy
mircea_popescu: just what perpetually lazy greeks & co need --- bout
time for another "marshall plan".
ben_vulpes: well it
took months, but
the shannonizers have finally figured out
that #bitcoin-assets doesn't have a voice model
mircea_popescu: basically,
they're not afraid.
this bodes well for fiat o.O
mircea_popescu: (but, worry not -- "climate change" activism is
there!)
mircea_popescu: otherwise, inside given cultural space, shit catches on. but no dominant one in us like
there was in su (yes,
the aspie 14% keeps
trying
to pretend, but ain't nearly
the same
thing).
mircea_popescu: soviet jokes also "didn't catch on", which became a joke in itself --
teh georgians dun understand all
these muscovy joeks!
mircea_popescu: no culture. nothing can "catch on" in any meaningful sense. romania is a nation,
the us is a sort of india.
mircea_popescu: it has no culture, no history ; it has no business class, no anything. what exactly would
they say ? compared
to whom.
mircea_popescu: they kept calling him
that. possibly on some grounds, but i never fucked him myself so...
mircea_popescu: well,
there was
this ro version of le canard enchaine ; it was really good. for half a decade or so, absolutely mandatory reading. some shit in
there i laughed at for days.
mircea_popescu: there's all sorts of losers who imagine
these objects are a sort of holy amulet, and
the only reason
they dun do anything is because "they don't want
to", but if "one day"
they "decided"
to "use
them"
then WHAM!
mircea_popescu: eh, he's a pasty. wtf does he know about guns or shooting
them.
mircea_popescu: which is why i even bothered pointing it out
to him, "you fucking idiot, you're STILL defending "the state" wtf is wrong with you."
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- was a major victory for
the us dept of nuland, because
thsi was
the first
time local aristocracy actrually got
the black
treatment. guy
took it verypersonal,
tried
to shoot self, had a hole in jaw for a while.
mircea_popescu: in
this specific case, for
taking a bribe in
the form of some electoral campaign materials some other dudes gave some other dudes in exchange for what some other dudes did.
mircea_popescu: what for ? well, for being a contemptible low life. plenty of shit
to convict her of, if you actually were
to apply you know, "the iron hand of
teh law"
that black dudes with a nickle bag keep running into.
mircea_popescu: this question allows multiple answers. but basically, suppose
trump actually was
traian basescu.
then clinton WOULD be in jail.
mircea_popescu: it is perhaps
the definitive difference between genders,
that man would love nothing more
than for woman
to do something useful while he fucks her.
phf: the
three witches from macbeth! i always imagine
them cackling. so you're walking around
the street, hear cackling, which is a kind of call of inevitability, you shake it off like "begone, chimera, must be some weird beard, nothing else" but you ~know~
mircea_popescu: i have no idea about
this whole
thing! wut is it phf ?
phf: you know,
the weird sisters, hand in hand, posters of
the sea and land
mircea_popescu: nah,
that was ion iliescu, president.
they
teaqmed up for a while
though.\
shinohai: Perhaps
the macho can be balanced with a dose of `rico suave`
mircea_popescu: dude!
the ro guy, ex-con ex-pm ? actually published my comment. color me impressed.
phf: you sure it's not one of
them wayward sisters?
mircea_popescu: there's also a bird
that cackles, literally. so we'd be fucking or
talking or w/e, and
the bird is a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
mircea_popescu: there's also an insect
that sounds EXACTLY like a dying fan
mircea_popescu: phf costa rica has a bird, does
the EXACT FUCNING NOISE
phf: it's when certain kinds of harddrive clicks permanently
trigger a sense of dread in you
mircea_popescu: remember
those
things ? more steel on
them
than on
today's
toyota.
mircea_popescu: my most frustrating experience in
this vein was back in dos dies, one of
those maxtor 40mb, dick-tall drives. which i
thought properly immortal, at
the
time.
phf: nope, recompiled
the binary from different file, new name, etc. same result. it's something about how cmucl packs an executable
phf: no,
theoretically
there shouldn't be any kind of difference at all
mircea_popescu: do you need diff permission sets
to run global vs directly ?
phf: asciilifeform:
that would be
the first guess, but `which` disagrees
