mircea_popescu: it's not practical
to keep gold in
the middle of fucking new york. you ever saw
the wtc
traffic ?
mircea_popescu: nevermind
this
tangent. what do you expect was in wtc safe ? paper.
mircea_popescu: this whole "nefarious AND COMPETENT lizard usg"
theory would fare a lot better if it weren;t
the case
that during ~WELL EXPECTED~ hurricane hit about 500bn in negotiable paper got ruined.

totally should have just checked
that
the version alignment on
the
thing. It was weird because simple
things would compile.... like really simple
things. But when it came
to
the more complex, ffa for example, was getting weird error messages. But at least, hey, it's out
there, it has some sharp edges.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 14:26 shinohai: I don't
think I've ever used Cpanel at any point in my internet life.
mircea_popescu: it's
the far peripheral vision
that gets
the vagal system all fucked up
mircea_popescu: there's certain advantages
to using
the grown up version of items
mircea_popescu: this shit isn't in any sense rational. it's not properly speaking belief, like some believe jesus gives a shit about
them or whatever, moses
turned piss
to vinegar.
this is more like fatlogic, a convenient and
therefore self-perpetuating earworm. whatever
the problem,
they'll just pretend like it's caused by you know, something somewhere being left behind, like
they're playing old sierra quest games.
mircea_popescu: some strange fyrefestival math like, eating 4 cupcakes = 2400 calories, eating 5 cupcakes = 3500 calories and eating ALL
the six cupcakes > 9000 calories. because ALL!
mircea_popescu: they genuinely imagined, and
to
this day still hold on
to
the impacted, unverbalised and unverbalizable belief
that "educating" 100% of
the horde is like... 2x better
than educating 98.8% of it.
mircea_popescu: "no child left behind" wasn't supposed
to lead
to direct, immediate and precipitous
tankage of
the basic education system.
mircea_popescu: then
they go hole
themselves up in "exclusive" cul de sacs with bollards and shit.
mircea_popescu: this is
the ~only belief of
the idiot church : more is better.
mircea_popescu: socialist paradise of
the future
to be enacted
through having more people involved. just like
they
think
the country will fare better, politically, by having more low information voters added
to
the rolls, and just like clinton genuinely
thought
the economy will gain by having more black morons with "home ownership". even if it was a purely scriptural matter.
ben_vulpes: taking as a given
that more insured ===== better
ben_vulpes: in particular i find
the "number of insured will decline" line amusing
BingoBoingo: This is because it is constantly
trying
to "self level", no standouts among idiots after all
BingoBoingo: Idiocy is like water, it doesn't have a firm peak. Sometime it floods, but
the high point is a "crest" not a peak.
mats: appeals
to emotion for opposition
to
trumpcare are peaking
BingoBoingo: Anyways local interstate highways have spent
time closed
this week because of water, fuck
that's a lot of water, OMG is
the river changing its course?, and
TREE!
Tree happened when ground became
too wet
to support continued rooting

thoughts?
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6: i
think it's grand << aha. ok sounds good

BingoBoingo: And
the lower house of US congress passed healthcare reform-reform
mircea_popescu: it's
the story of some laundress (kate pizdets) who speaks with a minor character la salle or de sale or w/e like she's hius wife
phf: this is as heavy handed as soviet propaganda used
to be. photographer dies during
training accident, "heroic womens dies in war, we salute all
the heroic womens in war, and call a photography honor after heroic womens!1"
mircea_popescu: "human cost of war" my foot. a mortar shell blew up during a
training exercise. what fucking war ?
the human cost of
the continuance of
the usg criminal organisation.
BingoBoingo: Progress in medical
technolotit and all
that
mircea_popescu: now
these schmucks expect dentistry work be done under anesthesia ?
mircea_popescu: half
the
trench foot sufferers of 1917 got no morphine for amputations because no morphine avaialble, and
the sky didn't fall over.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> why would you give 50yo kid
trying
to make a life/career out of singing into mom's hairspray
tube in his underwear opiates ? << Because muh hips, muh knees, muh condishuns!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you'd expect pop icon of
the 80s can afford nuclear grade pure samples. << Nah,
they all hired fiduciaries who
told
them
to "invest" in building
their own "Neverland Ranch" by 1990
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 13:18 mircea_popescu: anyone got a
theory ?
BingoBoingo: <lobbes>
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-04#1651737 << probably follows standard path of percocet abuse (around $30 per pill on black market iirc)
to eventual (much cheaper) heroin << You mean under $1 a pop at Walgreens
to street price sticker shock
to "One
trick
the drug companies don't want you
to know"
☝︎ shinohai: Also, am I delusional or did s.qntr price increase
this round
mircea_popescu: why would you give 50yo kid
trying
to make a life/career out of singing into mom's hairspray
tube in his underwear opiates ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> wtf is with all
these obnoxious 80s media items doing heroin anyway ? <<
Their doctors have been scared by
the DEA gang into not giving
them pharmaceutical opiates
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the next helping out of
the ever fertile well of
these idiots' imagination is you know, "bitcoin is money because we've been acting like it were for long enough and everyone really cares what we act like!!!"
mircea_popescu: "nobody ruled on nobody in particular's sophomoric argument with nobody else involving
things and matters, please care!"
shinohai: And
that
the "celebrities" involved are actual people.
mircea_popescu: so basically
this entire "legal proceeding" is about
trying
to enact
the pretense
that "E!" is a
tv station and "WAGS Miami" is some sort of show and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: "Both Voigt and "YesJulz" are big names on social media. Voigt is a fitness model and Instagram celebrity who starred last fall on "WAGS Miami," an E! reality
TV show about
the wives and girlfriends of sports figures in South Beach."
trinque: funny enough
this was exactly what I was
thinking about in
the shower
trinque: Framedragger: it's depersonalizing and
that can maybe give you some room in your skull
to
think for a while if you're otherwise
too neurotic
to calm down
mircea_popescu: if anything should be
the international, universal and enduring symbol of socialism / stupidity, it'd be a koi fish in a plastic bag.
mircea_popescu: what is wrong with
the fucking soviet, it always builds
these shits, roadways without parking spaces, brothel;s without bathrooms, raves without
the requisite
terarium scl etc ad infinitum.
Framedragger: trinque: yeah,
that was
too optimistic, i agree
trinque: totally untrue re: lsd gives you all
the data
mircea_popescu: it is
the place where you go
to lie down and have your body
temperature fixed passively.
Framedragger: too young / out-of-loop
to have seen
this. guess not. is it like a place you go
to for dancing breaks? sounds nice
Framedragger: sounds like a good idea :) i
think "3 months" is a nice bare-minimum, but
there's actually not enough data. controlled studies are with mice etc., and field observations have
too many confounding variables (alcohol, weed, etc.; also, *body
temperature* (most important catalyst of deprivation of antioxidants it seems, many fall prey
to
this, underhydrated, etc.))
lobbes: Oh god, I couldn't imagine
that.
Talk about brain frying
