mircea_popescu: danielpbarron watch the guy being like 112 lbs and really awkward too
mircea_popescu: i bet the "controversial" ceo now uses his vast wealth to fucking hang the entire troop of assholes, including the da involved.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: actually 365 to 370k some of the messiest blocks in all of the chain
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that's kinda the thing with the earlier "oh, they'll get out of the pen, fat is compressible"
mircea_popescu: i know i've not seen nearly enough of it yet to suit my tastes.
mircea_popescu: you know, like there's relatively little research on the true benefits of hanging us academitards above a smoldering pit of hot peppers.
mircea_popescu: "there is relatively little research on the true impact of merit scholarships. "
mircea_popescu: marxism went from an overgrown cult/self help weirdo club to this sort of implicit agreed upon mantra.
mircea_popescu: "Critics have said that merit scholarships may help institutions, but don’t truly help students (most recipients of merit scholarships have many options) or broad social needs in higher education (the merit awards divert attention and funds from the needs of low-income students)."
mircea_popescu: in the us, i am deeply unsurprised it would do nothing.
mircea_popescu: and the people who know they don't read because omfg, that'd be giving in.
mircea_popescu: fragmentation of the masses! for gleat gloly & justic!!1
mircea_popescu: so now there's going to be three-four meaningless forums + reddits + whatever else.
mircea_popescu: kinda lulzy outcome, the stupid got left behind and then decided to give away their remaining asset and split up!
mircea_popescu: anyway, the angry jealous poor club should take solace in the knowledge that i've shed more dollar value this calendar year than they will ever manage to see.
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see the only salient points re isis are that a) has own agency ; b) percepibly unalligned to usg.
mircea_popescu: the definition of inputs into the army camp is "plunder".
mircea_popescu: the very definition of army includes two points : a) that it does not support itself (if it did it'd be a stampede) ; b) that it makes up the difference through plunder.
mircea_popescu: ("our tanks photosynthesize now!!11 SUPPORTS ITSELF!!1")
mircea_popescu: that is not an answer which can be made into a question.
mircea_popescu: political choices are in the end nude exercises in narrative fiction.
mircea_popescu: so i guess the real story here is, mujahedeen cultivated usg to provide them with apples.
mircea_popescu: "usg spent some items to addresses it didn't have the key for. isis cracked the keys."
mircea_popescu: so it did exactrly nothing. the men i nthat relationship are non-us
mircea_popescu: (hint : you can't donate to a mouse. it steals all it ever gets.)
mircea_popescu: your gambit is to administratively suspend isis' agency, because you're too enamoured with the usg and that requires you (also administratively) assign all agency to it.
mircea_popescu: because that's the thing with fiction : it's nonsensical, which means you absolutely need a carefully curated set of sentences be considered
mircea_popescu: you have no better reason to pretend "x has arms because y" than to pretend "x has 12yo hooker because y". the choice of which of these to emphasize is the liberty of the scriptwriter in works of fiction.
mircea_popescu: "The [Washington] Post lied to its readers by printing stories it knew were false," mmmkay.
mircea_popescu: yeah, totally. and if i go buy a twelve year old hooker in the DC, it's also the usg that supplied her right ?
mircea_popescu: "no, you can only make them do things they were gonna do anyway"
mircea_popescu: the missing part of this "textbook" is how come there's no equivalent in say artic circle.
mircea_popescu: 'oh but germany couldn't, oinly us could" "how come ?" "it's part of my scenography for this bit of fan fiction"
mircea_popescu: last i heard germany is not levelling new york with tactical nukes either.
mircea_popescu: quite. "a kind of quasi-autonomous golem." === "" these classifications that sorta are adaptable to suit history."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ascii_field has these classifications that sorta are adaptable to suit history.
mircea_popescu: so if you know nobody what are you going to verify it against.
mircea_popescu: jurov from what i've seen, it's a certain river + sandy dune thing they like.
mircea_popescu: jurov dragonflies only trhive in particular desert climate.
mircea_popescu: so he gets two years (plus two from the original, suspended sentence)
mircea_popescu: guy fucks 15 yo daughter of his gf. child results. is convicted, but suspended sentence.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's these fluorescent + static things to murder flying bugs outside, at least those do something.
mircea_popescu: unsustainable and provably-won't-solve-the-problem but hey, it has a nice package!
mircea_popescu: i guess the problems in the ustard head are actually there. same sort of thinking that creates "war on drugs" creates this thing, too.
