mircea_popescu: they
think
this is a country!
that
they should get rents! and salaries! and be paid! holy shit ?
mircea_popescu: orc mechanics DO ATTEMPT
TO CHARGE WHAT ACTUAL MECHANICS DO!
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 20:49 mircea_popescu: it was long a low level puzzle
this, "seriously, 2010
toyota sounds LIKE
THAT ?!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it most pointedly it's not. see
the noise discussion, where was it
hanbot was also harassed by uppity old women while
trying
to feed actual salmon scraps
to local feline. it's enlightening, inasmuch as one realizes places
that kinda suck for humans really suck for animals. you'd kinda hope cat > zombie but it just doesn't work out
that way.
mircea_popescu: they're all white, but without exception
the stupidest people i ever met.
mircea_popescu: the ivy league of argentina is not qualified
to populate san quentin.
mircea_popescu: anyone seriously looking for practical proof re
the whole race-intelligence nonsense is invited
to spend some
time in buenos aires doing anything. start a bakery, i don't care.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think
the depths of argentina imbecility can either be comprehended or described withouy a multi-year commitment. it's just a different planet down here.
mircea_popescu: no development in sight, 100 feet
to a highway.
they put
the fucking highway by
the ~best land in
town.
mircea_popescu: you should see
the riverfront here. miles of what anywhere else would be primo waterfront real estate, covered in old garbage.
mircea_popescu: will waddle
through
the characteristic ocre brown of sewage. soberania, argentina no es un pais pobre, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: here's a pro
tip :
the "vida de noche" etc fashionable resort is "mar del plata". from reports it's a) all fambly beach, very densely populated, NO PARTIES and b) deeply contaminated with sewage.
they don't care.
mircea_popescu: lol pobrecitamo is quite an apt
to describe
the local retard.
hanbot: asciilifeform's feral cat appreciation nodule would prolly enjoy
the pobrecitamos shore here (found only recently because super labyrinthine/unmarked pedestrian access). penniless 'fishermen' sit on concrete stumps and occasionally pull up ~minnow, cats abound, waiting for 'might as well
throw it
to
the cats'. nevertheless
they manage
to be very skinny, and fairly confused.

trinque: started with math, said "what if we didn't have any order of operations except
those explicitly stated, and also "wtf re: infix anyway?"
Framedragger:
https://archive.is/Z6JDu << gabriel_laddel_p's "A Realistic Solution
to
the Education Problem", finally found
time
to read
through it, not bad. guess it's been discussed before
tho
mircea_popescu: "this grana padano slice is
the "pizza" with highest cheese per portion content ever : 100%"
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck, why not buy some cheese if
that's
the criteria.
mircea_popescu graced
the subte (subway)
today.
the advertising is something else! "pizza #1 por cantidad
the queso por porcion".
trinque: not
to mention
that socialist education was a net loss
trinque: also left with your own hands, and whatever you've done with
them
thestringpuller: In Aldous Huxely's dystopia misinformation
takes over real education. What are you left with when all
the real people die off?
thestringpuller: It would be snore for me
too if he wasn't a professor
teaching our kids nonsense.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: so.
the more I read from people like Emin (a "respected" academic)
the more sad I become
that education is now a scam. maybe its
true. can't beat stupid.
mircea_popescu: o look,
the uterine / viteline
thing dun work in english. aaanyway. "any other bovine" i guess.
mircea_popescu: "Step 2.
The state will maintain a fund for buying 18yo females for
the puporse of populating
the breeder farms - "
mircea_popescu: it's altogether woman in question is going
to eat anything. she's just as uterinely productive as any other viteline ;
that she chooses
to "have problems" is ultimately uninteresting.
mircea_popescu: you know, every guy in kresty dreams of one day becoming basically like us, with enough money
to buy a round for everyone. and
they
think
that if
they did get
the money,
that's how
they used it.
mircea_popescu: thereby you know you're asleep and dreaming. because
the machinery
that'd allow
the item know its dna precludes it being ant-shaped ; and
the culture it requires
to know morse precludes it being ant-substance.
mircea_popescu: suppose you met an ant one day, and
this and
told you in morse code its whole genome.

thestringpuller: mats: yea.
that's so people could mod
the interface for raids and shit.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "I am a female incel. In 3 weeks I will be a 25 year old virgin. A socially anxious, insecure, overweight, suicidal, complete failure. I'm going
to die a kissless virgin. I will always be poor, always lack
traditional beauty, always be an obtuse person. Intelligence and grace will never come naturally. And despite years of positivity about myself and with some idea
that I was unique and beautiful in my own way, I realize--
th
pete_dushenski: these 5% yoy prop
tax increases will come
to an end, and when
they do
the budgets will start getting
trimmed from above and replaced from below.
pete_dushenski: ya, i just happen
to be in
that spot. skews perspective.
mircea_popescu: aite
then, i guess
there must be some nooks and crannies where
the 1k machine makes sense.
pete_dushenski: cops
think
they're carrying on
the rcmp legacy. might bang some hookers or move some drugs but not shaking down small businesses.
pete_dushenski: really,
the prairies are bizarelly,
truly insanely above boards.
mircea_popescu: well yes depends where. if you put
the bitcoin
thing in your shed in mississiauga nobody'll bother you. literally.
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me canada is special and you don't have a police ransom racket somehow.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: never heard of police
taking pause with bitcoin atms around here
pete_dushenski: can't speak
to insurance premiums, but one of
the other quiet costs is dealing with noobtards wanting
to buy/sell $20 of coin and can't figure out how
to
tie
their shoelaces much less work slot machine
mircea_popescu: police departments with machine in
their precinct, etcetera.
pete_dushenski: machine owners ? landlords with machines in
their buildings ?
mircea_popescu can't imagine anyone prices/treats
these any differently from slot machines.
mircea_popescu: all you do is watch insurance premiums soar ; and all sorts of little inconveniences of
that nature.
pete_dushenski: all you have
to do is refill cash and coins for $5k/mo. have half a dozen machines around a city and you're doing well.
mircea_popescu: nah, iirc
they
threw
the machines out if
they dropped under 2-3k, and
thgat was years ago
pete_dushenski: given
that
the machines are $5-10k if you avoid
the robocoin scamzors, and
that commissions are ~8%,
that's none
too shabby if you can keep it up.
pete_dushenski: swapping
tires isn't such a pain if you have
them mounted on rims. but another whole big expense for
that obv.
the socks look neat. expensive ?
ben_vulpes: eh i don't really fancy swapping
tires every season, 'tis a 1-week
twice-a-year sort of
thing.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: afraid not. never had a problem with good ol' fashioned winter
tires. or pick-up
truck if need be. honestly not even sure what you'd use socks or chains for outside of
the acreage.
mod6: oh yah. lol, could hardly walk down
the driveway.
mod6: warmed up, now its raining and freezing. slicker
than a minnow's dick out
there.
