mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo pod sucked for a long time

mircea_popescu: intending it as a sort of compliment i guess ?)

mircea_popescu: (true story, gave one to woman, she's like "oh this is so nice, i've never read a book before!"

mircea_popescu: i mean as a product. the thing itself.

mircea_popescu: things that can be easy already are. things that aren't easy can't be made "easier". if you can't afford a house, taking credit doesn't make the house easier. etc.

mircea_popescu: basically, everywhere guis are a racket.

mircea_popescu: o nm, it's not a book, it's a poster.

mircea_popescu: a bureaucracy is history-less, in that it is incapable of learning from its mistakes, just like amoeba is incapable of learning writing.

mircea_popescu: More targets meant more bombing, and more bombing meant a bigger role for the USAF. The result was more budget, more planes, and career advancement for all concerned.

mircea_popescu: As far as I am aware, the phrase came into usage among knowing observers of the Vietnam War. A self-licking ice cream cone is a programme or policy that costs money and resources, generating a great deal of activity; produces indicators of its own success, preferably quantitative; but does not actually achieve its announced goals.

mircea_popescu: she's too horny to go to bed so she fucks a coupla passing bums, with disastrous effects.

mircea_popescu: something like that. woman previously married to some hard drinking bozo meets a phthisc young man who's a "student" whatever that may mean. the three quarrel, the kid ends up killing the man, talks the woman up a storm then... leaves ?

mircea_popescu: icecream has been a part of rations since vietnam

mircea_popescu: it's already "desertion means leaving a world that you don't understand" and move to "desertion means joining a world you easily do"

mircea_popescu: notice that in a group of 100k idiots, you may end up with a subgroup of 100 or 10 idiots of any particular braindamage you wish.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure. think about it : be the gods of their age group ? instead of going home to hear a stupid bitchfest, stay with the people where rape is something you're supposed to do ?

mircea_popescu: undata women are principally distinguished by a preference for the shit they know.

mircea_popescu: happened to the late romans a whole heck of a lot more than they ever cared to admit

mircea_popescu: wouldn't that come with a "no bibles please" ?

mircea_popescu: anyway, if anyone has a direct interest in the welfare of the poor grunts involved, like loved ones or w/e :

mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah, it's a fake name.

mircea_popescu: i bet you you can't pikc out butt virgins in a line-up.

mircea_popescu: that's a myth.

mircea_popescu: there could be a new disease, the derpes...

mircea_popescu: jurov sample code for mailx in the help file would help a great deal.

mircea_popescu: and similarly, signatures get a "sig notes" following them, like signed by 01ABFFC7(n) 02ABFFC7(n) etc

mircea_popescu: jurov seems the site needs the extension of a "patch notes" clickable field ?

mircea_popescu: so basically, the correct approach here would have been for ascii to make a patch for each individual diff ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that anything needs a 1st signature to even be sumitted is not abad design decision

mircea_popescu: i have a lot of sympathy for kids trying to piece together some shard of understanding out of isaiah berlin, rory mcilroy and ronald mcdonald.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's one for ya : a google for McIlroy produces a solid pages of derpage about some random kid playing golf.

mircea_popescu: you know, back when the euro "didn't have a chance", and like the canadian dollar, traded under the usd.

mircea_popescu recalls the eu space agency early on, such a risible attempt.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i linked a youtube of a pirvulescu attack on ceausescu.

mircea_popescu: he ran his government exactly like you'd expect a lifetime anarchist war hero to run a government.

mircea_popescu: does this sound a lot like socialism to you ?

mircea_popescu: "i know better than you lot, you lot are stupid, not least of all for being a lot in the first place".

mircea_popescu: wait a second. what part of the "you folks are like blind kittens" is socialist, iyo ?

mircea_popescu: joecool on what grounds would you identify pre-1930 stalin as a socialist ?

mircea_popescu: the purpose of trees, to hear the bromeliaceae tell it, is to one day support one! and in fact all life on earth evolves towards that peak of creation, a parasite plant of little notice.

mircea_popescu: it's funny, this particular bromilliad, sometimes catches root on a tree, then proceds to derp all about how you know, the purpose of the tree is it!

mircea_popescu: for that matter, the us was quite a different beast before being coopted by the socialists to.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i;ll tell you how that went. dudes for some reason perceive the need to "sell" it, and since it's obvious that you can't sell something to someone that the someone;d perceive as a "worse" alternative, then necessarily it must be made so that anarchy is not more painful to the average derp than you know, the 1980s in the us.

mircea_popescu: if i recall there was a lengthy thread of naked women in star wars paraphenalia

mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski which webiste ? dtng was basically... a chan. you know, random people posting whatever.

mircea_popescu: can some dude owning a road require me anything.
