mircea_popescu: not that rms doesn't display plenty of it. myst be something in unix that makes people go "hey, i can just ignore the classes i don't want to use right now" or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: there's this borderline autistic hypocrisy behaviour that somehow's really represented in my head by the oss folks.
mircea_popescu: "i was an integral part of the gnu sellout, and i feel kinda bad about it so i'll just pretend i didn't do anything and hey, the communitards are too dumb to know shit from their face."
mircea_popescu: bitcoin does. usd does not. kinda why we don't like it./
mircea_popescu: still, it's not their god damned car. and so no, not rich. merely posing with opr.
mircea_popescu: teenaged kids with whoremongering fathers often borrow the cars those drive in an attempt to cargo-cult the whores they bang into existence. perhaps they could be embodied out of their classmates or something.
mircea_popescu: the other important point is, "whether you get to actually hold it". riches subject to riders like "you may only use this to inflate real estate bubble" aren't much yours anyway.
mircea_popescu: but i'm not getting too far with alf on this line either, so.
mircea_popescu: proving once more that the fetish of wealth is a very poor compass for one's life.
mircea_popescu: yeah. the subset in discussion : that follows twitter, shoiws up for conferences and derps at yshittynator events.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: who the fuck even came up with the idea the concept of "career" is meaningful in a space which mostly aims to hire 20yos.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the lolcows. gavin and co, and it's a shitty career in unintentional comedy at that.
mircea_popescu: seinfeld ~had~ a career. it lasted a decade, and he quit while ahead. who the fuck in software has a career ?
mircea_popescu: kdomanski the deep reason is that you folk can't eat on your own. obviously there's going to be a code of conduct : he who lives in his parents house observes the fucking rules neh .
mircea_popescu: then bubble's back on and they hire any shaved monkey with a pulse.
mircea_popescu: bubble's going out and everyone's out on their ass, career or no career. this isn't showbiz, it's computer slavery.
mircea_popescu: and ftrr, what is a "career" ? who do you know that has "a career" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's the land of freakarama over there, what do you think an example's gonna do ?
mircea_popescu: remember the guy who got shot by a cop on a bike, because the cop had inferiority complex for not having a car so he stuck his head and torso through the ghuy's window ?
mircea_popescu: so be good if you don't wantthe bugaboo to get you too! like it got those other kids.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: im sure sometimes the bugaboo got some kids. not in this case, nor in this neighbourhood, nor you know.
mircea_popescu: (that said, i very much doubt any fallout whatsoever can ever occur. so he lost a job ? gets another one. or gets welfare. big whoop.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: he's approximately the male equivalent of thew usian stripper with an attitude.
mircea_popescu: the mighty may be right, or then again may well be wrong. but the weak are always and unexcusably in the wrong.
mircea_popescu: but you're right, a lot of perfectly avoidable, self constructed problems are patently traceable to that misimpression being perhaps deliberately induced in children.
mircea_popescu: science isn't a present day version of "my older brother's in the navy seals" / "we are god's chosen people" where somehow it gives you a magic golen ticket to things.
mircea_popescu: you'll end up with "actors aren'ty human" and other avatars of medieval thoughtmire.
mircea_popescu: some people progress from there, some don't, and that's it.
mircea_popescu: people aren't born with the right to like and dislike and opine and so forth. people are born "women and children", which is to say with the obligation to adapt to others likes and dislikes. we call these others "their betters".
mircea_popescu: but it's deeper, really. "your impression you may have oppinions MUST be predicated on your certainty you can in fact back them up."
mircea_popescu: if the people you talk about may have opinions, then this doesn't affect them. if it does, then they should have gotten their head out of their ass, understood their situation as slaves and put more effort into massaging the cock of their owners more betterer.
mircea_popescu: which is kinda my point here. some shit's being conflated. like that ancient ditty, "si quis, inquis, dives est, tum cenare potest cum cupit. si pauper, tum cenare debet cum potest."
mircea_popescu: moreover, software "employees" should be fired. if they're any good that's the best thing that could ever happen to them, and if they suck why would anyone keep em.
mircea_popescu: people who depend on welfare should learn to suck the cock of their patrons better.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <trinque> davout: ruby is objectively butts. rebuttal? <<< bwahahaha. unrebutt able objectibutts language!
mircea_popescu: i'm sure there's an "airforce expert pilots" club somewhere in djbouti, made out of people who agree among themselves on djbotardit and twidji. meanwhile djbouti's only airplane is a boat.
mircea_popescu: <kdomanski> popcorn advised << nobody really gives a shit. the countless fucktards trying to parlay their "issues" and "political awareness" and so forth into actual subject matter relevancy only succeed in their own estimation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for that matter, is it safe to shut down now ? you have backups and everything ?
mircea_popescu: and if it stays open till early oct, nosuchlabs won't have a server until it gets resolved.
mircea_popescu: as jurov's not actually said anything re his theoretically present but upon examination inexistent connection or w/e it was, this leaves the problem of where to host open.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell Belxjander you haven't actually fixed your connection.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> unsurprising that scum wipes his arse with the money. << that's one angle, and valid. the other angle, perhaps equally valid, is that prisoner kept in prison since birth has imagination of life outside, is let out, in a world much akin the prison inside, goes berserk.
mircea_popescu: nah. see problem there wasd, they destroyed more stuff than killed people.
mircea_popescu: but that's all gone now. people aren't willing to kill each other so they'll get packed.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i expect this will be the permanent normal mode of living from noiw on anyway.
mircea_popescu: makes the collegiate campus a winner. especially at arizona state.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, my place in timisoara was ~5k sqft on two levels.
mircea_popescu: isn't "Found extra rooms in house" kinda like "found extra procedures in code" ?
