mircea_popescu: then again, these are the same people who couldn'
t produce a count of suines in the country
diana_coman: mircea_popescu Bucharest is also some 6 times if not more the size of next town in ro, isn'
t it? not sure if that says much though in itself
mircea_popescu: typical idiot can'
t get in here much like typical lamb can'
t eat tatched roofing.
mircea_popescu: but the similarity is there : we don'
t yet get that many rss links to need to build a more complicated pipe ; just as we don'
t yet get that many new speakers so as to need to build a skirt there either.
mircea_popescu: pay, as numerously discussed in teh forum, ain'
t the pill.
mircea_popescu: where the only incentive is to be an idiot, aged 16 to maybe 19, as you won'
t live to 30 anyway.
mircea_popescu: well it wouldn'
t be visible to teh naked eye of civillian in a day.
mircea_popescu: now, this worked fine in the 90s, when the statal motherly "please don'
t do it" was backed by my "motherfucker if i see you again ima use you for fish bait".
mircea_popescu: the thing with romania is that essentially there isn'
t a penalty for anything. just please don'
t fucking do it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the situation is not stable, in the sense usg can'
t administer all this immense government with huge industrial interests in everything. which is why even china is giving it a run for its money.
mircea_popescu: ld performers are not your users, and "your" users aren'
t either performers or yours.
mircea_popescu:
t space", in the hope they'll achieve usg agency status. which went nowhere, but then again there's no such thing as a buried corpse in socialism. it's not just craig wright that's still perambulating ; the original founder of webvan is still about. his business idea ? WEB POWERED DELIVERY OF GROCERIES! yes, 20 years later. no such thing as a burian in socialism.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the bait and switch thing. reddit started life as a sort of 4chan with a jump, ie the little girl's not on the page, but you have to click. this wasn'
t accidental, because their phase 2 ("growth phase" eh) consisted of the exact value proposition : add your crap to reddit, watch people click on it. once growth stopped they dropped the bait, switched to "we will control the conversation in this ever-so-importan
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i have very much noticed they can'
t talk to girls at all these days, wherein a coupla decades ago couldn'
t without a coupla shots.
diana_coman: he can'
t probably stab you either for that matter
diana_coman: basically the northerner can'
t hug you if he feels like it unless drunk
mircea_popescu: these people REALLY need a crutch. they don'
t manage to ever lose it.
diana_coman: maybe; the other part of it (which I don'
t know if it's just my sample bias or what) is that in the north drink is a sort of crutch: southerners I know can act crazy without drinking ; northerners...can'
t ; so when want-to-crazy-need-to-drink
diana_coman: and well, they don'
t know how to drink either - no surprise since no practice with sane people
diana_coman: so they don'
t drink AT ALL during the week
diana_coman: eh, that was still everywhere; and yeah, I even got approached when with child: he's too cold! he's too hot! why is he /isn'
t he...
mircea_popescu: this is a large matter ; people don'
t generally realise it, but there's a large push, socially, towards things. for instance, in transylvania, my girls got REGULARILY approached, by EVERYONE, all the time. "not to sit on concrete -- won'
t be able to have children ; not to go barefoot -- won'
t be able to" and so on and so forth. woman gotta be henpecked!
diana_coman: sure, they weren'
t getting drunk at *same time* as males basically
mircea_popescu: diana_coman ah, cvas as the rusian notion wasn'
t contemplated.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i expect the reason drunks aren'
t as bothered by puke as the normal human is that they're so used to it. so a direct link might be that the women that habitually drink aren'
t nearly as likely to clean it up.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729211 << reddit didn'
t exist at the time we're discussing in any practical sense above "this obscure website some pedos gathered on to exchange their trading cards". it was something in the vein of metafilter i guess, or else something in the vein of digg, or else you know, one of the first sites making the transition from myspace/tripod/facebook to the latter style reddit/facebook/etcetera.
☝︎ diana_coman: well, approximations can make or kill a thing, but otherwise I guess you can call it that then (though by this token I'm not sure one won'
t be able to approximate almost any online thing to "a reddit")
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I wouldn'
t say Fain was mechanised really, can'
t quite see how that would fit
BingoBoingo: Well, you aren'
t operating on their schedule
BingoBoingo: Well, smoking and fat aren'
t very correlated. Food want usually only signaled through 5HT, Nicotine want signaled by lighting ACH receptors on fire.
BingoBoingo: What, you don'
t keep windows open when sleeping?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They don'
t have walmarts with USian drive distances
alex__c: eh, didn'
t find one that both me and gf would find attractive
diana_coman: fwiw raw milk can be had even in the uk and no, it's not terribly expensive/commando mission sort of thing; still, I wouldn'
t list that as some proof of sanity or anything
diana_coman: asciilifeform, if you don'
t mind me asking: where else in Europe have you been for longer than few days?
mircea_popescu: similarily asked damsel if she'll lay herself in the mud so i don'
t have to stain myself fucking her.
mircea_popescu: that isn'
t made. that hasn'
t been unmade yet, and there's no actual walls.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so the point would seem to be that no, they don'
t make anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reason is those folks don'
t have anything anyone wants.
pete_dushenski: "bn" also pop-famous after justin timberlake / mark zuckerberg facebook movie line "a million dollars isn'
t cool. y'know what's cool ? a billion" and then they all do shots and blow. but this was 2004 or w/e so 10x today and you're there.
pete_dushenski: speaking of fine artz, wasn'
t the only privately held da vinci painting about to go up for auction ? 1/15 "legit" works. pre-auction estimate $100mn but i dun see how it doesn'
t go for twice that.
mircea_popescu: of course they do this to the locals ; it's just that the locals aren'
t interesting by default, by virtue of being orc monkeys worth $400 with clothes on.
mircea_popescu: hey, didn'
t i personally take you to teh naked girlies club of ba ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, why not. Passports don'
t expire for 10 years. Not like there's seekrit transnational marriage police if you aren'
t Catholic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, if you're not staying a full year, you don'
t need any of this ; if you are, that's plenty of time to marry-and-divorce.
mircea_popescu: as a general rule you don'
t want personal property registered with the fiatistans.
☟︎ alex__c: can'
t find any further explanation on what investing means, and how to prove it
mircea_popescu: but as a general rule of thumb, whenever a fiat govt is involved, sensible isn'
t.
mircea_popescu: the "legal" approach will take longer and require more work, you're just new in this world and don'
t understand how the state works yet.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t right off recall what the rules for the lazy were. get local lawyer ask him
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform were you looking for cheap or weren'
t you ?
mircea_popescu: even if you impregnate her out of sheer perversity the result won'
t cost 100k.
mircea_popescu: it can'
t be had. why the fuck do you think it's dead as a going concern ?
mircea_popescu: jessie_ the obvious approach is to see if playing bottom isn'
t very satisfying. as orson scott card well points out, the only way to survive temptation is to yield to it.
mircea_popescu: lobbes daily is the key of human activity. if you're not doing something daily, you can'
t properly say you're doing it.
BingoBoingo: Ah, well it doesn'
t help Spanish's cause that Portugues consonants are much easier for my lazy middle western tongue
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 01:15 hanbot: i don'
t know what the actual time threshold is tbh. clearly longer than 15 mins tho.
BingoBoingo: Can'
t let the girl smells escape and excite or disgust the menfolk depending on age and condition of girl floor
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course too many words. They can'
t be direct. Violates pantsuit principal of alway covering girl floor with fabric.
mircea_popescu: jew coverage as to how this is concerning but doesn'
t matter and people still give a shit about them abundent enough ?
mircea_popescu: hopefully he has younger brothers, i can'
t imagine what possible use he can still be the usg turkfucker department.
mircea_popescu: the robotzi "sa te ghetzalesc pe limba???" item is a tongue in cheek reference of exactly this. the word doesn'
t exist, but if you're a civilised romanian which means born in transylvania and aware enough of hungarian to know how they say sperm,
mircea_popescu: very heavily dependent on russian support to continue existing, and ro sure as fuck doesn'
t want ANOTHER moldavia on its budget
mircea_popescu: anyway. moldavia doesn'
t stand a fucking chance, on its own. it's a sort of argentina, no industry whatsoever, no young people left to slave on the farms, it ain'
t got jack.
mircea_popescu: because if you do that, there sure as fuck won'
t be any new ones either.
mircea_popescu: uk "extreme right" "fascists" are derping on about... how there shouldn'
t be... NEW immigrants.
mircea_popescu: this is because russian isn'
t as slavic as it used to be.
mircea_popescu: "oh, wanna-be mps over at ycombinator can'
t compete with mp though they really really want to ? I KNOW!!! we'll make all the bars suck and then suddenly the shit-ass parties ycombinator throws won'
t look quite as shitty anymore!!1"
mircea_popescu: translation more a work of "this very talented youngster can'
t grammar properly, but here's a normal transcription" than anything.
davout: becoming a professional airline pilot is on the list, and if I don'
t do it now I'll soon be too old
diana_coman: I'd subscribe to that, yes; I don'
t claim I'm an expert though
