mircea_popescu: in all sense
they're
the same
thing. once one's
too poor for art, his house will be exactly like his neighbour's
mircea_popescu: which is
to say it is
the shape of
the hole in which it fell, naught else.
mircea_popescu: you'll find a mini-empire, like
that woman who left her infant daughter
to sun on
the porch and came back
to discover
the child covered in fireants.
mircea_popescu: (which,
truly, is what most engineers are doing with
their lives,
the engineering being just a pretext)
mircea_popescu: much like if a boy's mating strategy consists of seeking out
the places where no other boys go and waiting for girls
to straggle in.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: here'\s
the
thing : if inhospitability
to aircraft is a win, you have serious problems in other places
that you should attend
to.
mircea_popescu: by now it's cheaper
to lure vagrants in and suck
their blood./
mircea_popescu: yes, because afterwards
the ash settled on naive settler's water sources.
mircea_popescu: you're ready
to drink all
the sulphur
the earth has in store for you ?
mircea_popescu: few years ago a quarter of all flights had
to be grounded because some volcano spit out ash in
the upper atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: then we wonder why
the most famous indians are
the gypsies.
mircea_popescu: jurov look into it,
there's nothing sane. somehoiw
the whole fucking continent manages
to be 35 degrees
jurov: i once met a indian lady in germany, i asked her how she's fine with german climate, and she explained me
this
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know california has had rolling blackouts since
the 80s.
mircea_popescu: sooo
this morning's definitive breakfast is homemade bread, sliced, atop which spread avocado, on which
thinly sliced roast beef, on which brie slices, on which kimchi.
phf: since
then, cash shortages, protests,
the usual stuff.
the obvious solution "make it illegal", what a bunch of babus
phf: i
think
they got replaced with "new series" of 500 and 2000. also
there's certainly no confusion.
the whole
transition was a clusterfuck.
they introduced new series like
two months ago
jurov: everyone check your drawers
to be sure
mircea_popescu: by winter of 2017 - or even
the summer if another katrina hits -
the regime will need
to make moves and
the populace will be well hungry and angry enough.
mircea_popescu: kinda wherefore impeachment. only way
to castrate
the construct.
BingoBoingo: Hussein as a political construct *needed* enshrined on court, preferably in Scalia's seat.
Twas why
there was no big push
to vacancy fill.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (such as
the supreme court if
the dems get
the presidency again) << Well
that's why he was cool with Hillary in 2016 but not 2008 or 2012, next job 4lyfe

to spend
the funds. At first
that seems expensive and wasteful, but it's a key part of our security model: you can
trust a sealed Opendime, and it's obvious when it's been opened.' etc. is a lie.
mircea_popescu: will durst raided a
thesaurus, nobody complained. apparently back in 2006
this was ok.
mircea_popescu: anyway, whether
they manage
to eat
this particular potato or not,
the fact remains : obama as a political construct is more valuable impeached
than not impeached.
that's pretty much
the whole story, not like
there's an actual human behind
the construct.
mircea_popescu: aka "a parliament is
that body of men
that while in session guarantees noone's property, dignity or life are secure."
mircea_popescu: congress shall make no law limiting
the laws congress can make later on.
mircea_popescu: "first black president" was "a great victory for
the progressives",
then "only nigger ever lost in
the white house was impeached!" will be "a great victory for
the patriots",
this is how politics works - everyone gets
the maximal great victories possible.
mircea_popescu: trump has a healthy majority and plenty of people hate
the dems. even
themselves,
these days.

there's some
talk of impeaching him next year just so he doesn't get
to run for any office ever again
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the female mind, having betrayed
the faith she owes
the male, is
taking refuge in
teary-eyed imaginations of "sacrifices" ; in a defensive paleocortex process veheheheery well known by
the survivors of
the communist countries. "oh,
those were
the
times, I HAD
TO SACRIFICE" says every despicable old quisling whore. mno bitch, you didn't have
to sacrifice anything, you're just a blob of fat. blobs of fat don't "sacrif
mircea_popescu: "JUST
THE <fill in> SHE <fill in>
THAT ONE
TIME WHEN EVERYONE <fill in>" is 100% of
the moral/ethical mental process of every usian under 30.
that's
the whole
thing. just
the
thought
they have one
time when everyone's looking down at
them.
thassit.
mircea_popescu: dude has it, clearly. ben_vulpes will produce one gem per article, he's got a geological process going on in his skull and
the result is
these geodes of an article whereby among
the silt
there's gems.
mircea_popescu: "Arrival is an excruciating ode
to
the holy mother's spring sacrifice. Instead of dazzling with feats of shoostment, punching, swordplay, or skillful maneuvering of ICEmobiles, Arrival wallops one incessantly with
the great sacrifice of parenthood and just how far woman will go for her babies, especially if
that baby is everyone and
the sacrifice just
the guy she hooked up with

mircea_popescu: obviously cinema has a strong escapism vein, but historically
the escapism is directed
towards poverty and individual restrictions. you need a septicemic soviet union for it
to be "a source of hope for
the aparatchicks"
mircea_popescu: trinque btw,
the cinematic productions of
teh empire in
the past 3-5 years are showing very specific distress. ~everything is really a redo of "black mirror", it's shockingly
this very specifig
thing : politico-ideological refuge.

☟︎ trinque: "towards purpose" being disembowled, it
tries
to put
the guts back in with paradoxical
time
travel stories
trinque: ^ I'm gonna spoil
the shit out of
this one. It ends with
the chick learning
the magic words SHE KNEW ALL ALONG because aliens fly
their heptafold asses across
the cosmos
to make her
the god-snowflake she is in her
true self.
This SO
THAT humans can help
teh alienz in 3000 years.
mircea_popescu: watch
that he
typed a
three line
thing before dcing each
time
too
mircea_popescu: the fuckgoats part seems easier. so where's
this address of yours and are what deal are we looking at here ? machines for fuckgoats ?
gabriel_laddel_p: Indeed. And why not bundle w/eurola? You've wanted an 'emacs' interface for a while. CLIM is
the logical conclusion of
the emacs modality married
