mircea_popescu: all these complex (wholly self-contained) mind games to hack the girls panties from offa her fanny
mircea_popescu: because it's dunning-kruger all through. the dumbass who sucks at life can't correctly evaluate wqhat the people better than him are doing so they ARE better than him. and so he doesn't understand why they get promoted and laid.
mircea_popescu: anyway. have you happened to at any point notice the similarity between the "companies promoite the wrong people - not me!" and the usual complaint trhe same people make about women "they fuck jerks instead of seeing how much of a great sense of humor i have" ?
mircea_popescu: this is almost like trying to understand whether alf is a programmer by asking his girlfriend whether he likes the eggs runny.
mircea_popescu: wait a second. you're not seriously trying to understand "what executives do" by reading bloggers' commentary on tv shows ?!
mircea_popescu: it's not a crime by any means. as they say, there's a blessing for everything
mircea_popescu: gernika are you like, the most well read of us on the people we don't like ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, review of various wallets etc shows that most of my bitcoin are over 500 days old. holy shit i need larger blocks imminently!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: whatever the fuck happened there is still an open question.
mircea_popescu: not only was the man part of a b-a of his time, but they actually took power.
mircea_popescu: except apparently doesn't stand too well to the reading of barely literate goats bereft of the time to comprehend context.
mircea_popescu: he was making a point. which point incidentally stands,
mircea_popescu: he was "being ironic", in current pop-parlance. had plato in fact and earnestly "bemoaned progress" played straight, he'd have complained about the innovation of allowing teen boys not be raped (mostly championed by socrates, for that matter).
mircea_popescu: really, that's what he got out of whatever summary he read, that plato lamented writing. probably because "he despised poor people"
mircea_popescu: in other news - ima point out to our esteemed us smoking colleagues that actual habanero montecristos are about a dime a dozen here.
mircea_popescu: and you wanted to be my side of the street bicycle powered knife sharpener!
mircea_popescu: i don't think you were that unmessy to begin with anyway.
mircea_popescu: ask anyone if what you're doing is programming and let me knopw what they say.
mircea_popescu: in the case of avicenna it's not that bad, and a ton has been done to try and figure out his context.
mircea_popescu: you're model of how these guys' lives worked is really very bad you know.
mircea_popescu: shinohai but you're the only one wioth mesa < 10. so that'd likely be it.
mircea_popescu: shinohai : buncha other people are running eulora with gallium 4.0, incl on llvmpipe. that wouldn't likely be it.
mircea_popescu: (to understand why it's dumb - imagine your prize for rescuing drowning damsel is the damsel. what if you don't want damsels, just enjoy swimming ?)
mircea_popescu: it's also a dumb system, for the record. tho perhaps less dumb and certainly dumb for different reasons.
mircea_popescu: nah. if "blue blood" i nthe sense of, willing to put up a fucking banner.
mircea_popescu: something like that, but really this looks more like butthurt noob "with connections"
mircea_popescu: sorta like the situation of a spy, really - the enemy is willing to spend millions to nail him, whereas his own team has to be fought for a 10k allocation sort of deal.
mircea_popescu: i'm quite flattered, honestly. to think someone hates my shit enough that he's willing to spend to mess with it for part of a day likely more than what people paid to read it in its entire history...
mircea_popescu: seriosly, i'd like to point out the pattern of it. clearly the guy is buying tailings, ie, overflow traffic/whatever's available to fit his budget. ends up with what overflows.
mircea_popescu: and because who at the time is going to be your ossasepia.
mircea_popescu: obama has a reputation for bringing nobel peace, and paracelsus had a reputation for curing spiritual warts.
mircea_popescu: and yes, sure there were folks who made a reputation. then as now.
mircea_popescu: gernika also all usians dipped their cock in pussy juice in college. afaik not done anymore.
mircea_popescu: fucking country was full to the brim of bad pink collar places like that badly run by inept cocklets who had somehow imagined they run themselves.
mircea_popescu: romanian fucktarded kids did this to death. went to work abroad - sucked septuagenarian cock on cruise ships, manned boats off alaska, whatever, came back with a 20-50-70k and then... OPENED A RESTAURANT
☟︎ mircea_popescu: gernika is it a patently retarded idea to buy "restaurant". a restaurant is not a box of candies. if you haven't spent a decade working in one, you have no business OWNING one.
mircea_popescu: also - programmer is not a craftsman. "programmer" is the boy equivalent of the "artsy" chick. one does stupid shit and "sells it" on etsy, the other does stupid shit and "sells it" on github
mircea_popescu: the only work they're capable of is reddit shitslinging, and there's a ton of dudes doin that cheaper and better already. easily 100x what's needed anyway.
mircea_popescu: not capable of intellectual work because not smart enough.
mircea_popescu: decimation they';re not capable of it. there's this very insistently nursed delusion among white useless usians that somehow some types of work are "below" them in the sense that OF COURSE they could do it. not so. alf has it : fuck you for "being able to" put the fries in the frier once. do it every day forever.
mircea_popescu: actually i would guess currently the earned income this way is about 12-15kish a year.
mircea_popescu: talk to someone who's ever done any time. there's a ton of mexicans doing time in us prisons to make money for their family bacvk home.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr, everyone worth talking to is in point of fact +ev in prisno.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's quite obvious that the b-a conversations consist of both spoken and silent dialogue
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you've reconstructed the discussion into a strawman and are getting the results you expected from it.
mircea_popescu: why are atheltes poor if the stench of cunt bothers you, same argument.
