a reason leonard cohen's t-shirts cost more than his albums
nubbins`: "music as
a product" and "music actual humans with taste listen to" are two completely different things

a very vibrant music scene here locally as well as nationally. i can listen to this country's best music without ever listening to anything that's signed to
a major label
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves nah listen, these promotion things, are their own promotion thing. take inna, some romanian ex-highschool ho. got promoted for
a summer.
mircea_popescu: that's your future.
a million people all doing
a million weird things like ancient inuit "revivals" and so on.
mircea_popescu: it's
a social behaviour, music. technology gets removed out of the equation all the damned time.
thickasthieves: so youre just commenting on that the pie isnt something you can even take
a slice of
mircea_popescu: so what exact problem do you figure "ipoing" will solve ? apple needs your ipo like i need
a beard implant.
mircea_popescu: apple sells 25bn songs and if you put one for sale it suddenly gets five views and
a candian quarter.
mircea_popescu: like, say, couple next door does
A LOT OF FUCKING. so i go over, let's see. well, they're shy now.
nubbins`: did you know i can jam
a dirty needle into the crook of my elbow, rub hobo cum in it, wrap it in plastic for
a month, and the hospital will fix it FOR FREE?
nubbins`:
a raise in minimum wage is
a boon for small businesses that aren't too fucking stupid or poorly managed to take advantage of it

a chick in the crowd to fuck.
nubbins`: min wage was raised to $10.25 here
a week or two ago

nubbins`: "given that the american senator had pornography on his computer, the glorious kingdom of saudi arabia hacked into his computers without compunction, as any such 'hack' would simply have constituted
a search of foreign property known to contain criminal evidence, for which
a warrant was not necessary"
nubbins`: "Given that the SR Server was hosting
a blatantly criminal website, it would have been reasonable for the FBI to 'hack' into it in order to search it, as any such 'hack' would simply have constituted
a search of foreign property known to contain criminal evidence, for which
a warrant was not necessary."
nubbins`: heavens ripped open, etc etc, john had
a bit of concern over it all
mircea_popescu: nubbins` what's with this canadian preoccupation with death in
a fucking context.
Vexual: since when did no or yes need
a qualifier
mircea_popescu: imo that's great precedent. hopefully people start attacking muslims for being muslims, it's
a fucking ridoinculous religion and it needs some public mockery.
mircea_popescu: Scalia cuts him off: “Well, religious beliefs aren’t reasonable. I mean, religious beliefs are categorical. You know, it’s … God tells you. It’s not
a matter of being reasonable.” He looks amazed. “God, be reasonable?”
