mircea_popescu: !!rate spyked 9 his lordship the lord crypto-alchemist
mircea_popescu: it'll benefit the nooblets immensely if they seriously spend some time groking the "
turn" thing. there's a time for everything ; and for most things that time isn't NOW.
mircea_popescu: there lolz, now you don't have to regret etcetera keks
mircea_popescu: !!rate lobbes 9 his lordship the lord of the auction house
mircea_popescu: !!rate trinque 9 his lordship the master of the rolls.
mircea_popescu: of course, this could readily also bear the alternative interepretation of "there is nothing the rater WISHES TO SAY".
mircea_popescu: it's philosophically fraught, because as per
the spec a rating of 0 should convey that the rater deems he can answer NO questions about the ratee. in which case... why is it a rating.
mircea_popescu: this is so ; but for the sake of sanity im not gonna spec significant changes in the middle of implementing a differen tspec.
mircea_popescu: i suppose, retrospectively, this is implementation of folly, there's no possible usecase for ACTUALLY ever unsetting a rating.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, traditionally setting it to 0 is how you unset it.
mircea_popescu: "mp, you can't negrate him, we can't sell to him if you do" "fuck. i don't wanna 0 it either, it'll disappear from the lists" "well..." "fuuuuck"
mircea_popescu: i suppose another side effect of all this is that it turns 1 ratings into a sorta morgue.
mircea_popescu: hey, who knew, my little gimmick with the titles years ago makes this way the fuck easier now. win.
mircea_popescu: !!rate diana_coman 9 her ladyship the marquess eulora.
mircea_popescu: fucking chinesium, everything;s just a name now. "oh, gigabyte". really, sucker ? why not hagen daasz! ITS DANISH ICECREAM
mircea_popescu: billymg, did you ever find the trilema article re how to re-do your missed pingbacks ?
mircea_popescu: every time a new article is posted, there's some subroutine that goes through all the links and sends the pingbacks. the idea is to hijack that so it re-does the entire db
mircea_popescu: billymg, the removal part is easy, just delete * from comments where trackback
mircea_popescu: pretty lulzy shit. meanwhile dousing 12yos in gasoline pre-gangrape all halal still.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, this recent comments thing is immensely helpfull, now i can follow wtf
mircea_popescu: well, the brits being a laughingstock surprises nobody.
mircea_popescu: just like all the other idiots ever, starting with every 4 year old. no, the chair isn't alive and didn't willingly trip you up.
mircea_popescu: they did it by themselves, for themselves, ~through being themselves~. JUST LIKE the other idiots.
mircea_popescu: except THESE idiots have no "greater enemy" to "blame" for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, qntra piece brings a great point to the fore, incidentally : the usg managed to implode its colonial posessions / colonial "influence sphere" in the new world JUST EXACTLY like the soviets managed three decades prior.
mircea_popescu: plenty of horror stories from the early 90s, kinda similar to ye olde early-Ttank stories.
mircea_popescu: anyway, will replace the system during this week ; if it's an emergency/not that important re-encrypt to mp_en_viaje ; if not i'll see then.
mircea_popescu: mod6, the machine hosting that keyset magically died earlier -- just as i was about to read your thing, imagine that. seems the mobo went, though tbh it's a little weird, will have it cut up later.
mircea_popescu: dude it's such a pleasure, waking up to like THREE republican blog articles ; me shall get to it after breakfasts.
mircea_popescu: but at least he wasn't parading the niggers on a leash downtown, amirite ?
mircea_popescu: twas a moment of renascentist reaction in the periphery
mircea_popescu: ~same time london managed to give itself apprentice riots.
mircea_popescu: i expect these were mostly the eastern gypsies. much like the jews, gypsies come in a spectrum, the southern arab-owned oens were mostly metalworkers, the northern rus' owned ones were mostly bear / acrobatics / horse riding / circus and such ; the middle set mostly thieves and whores.
mircea_popescu: i can barely remember 2 in 3 of the modern, english ones.
mircea_popescu: btw diana_coman you still feel like hungary ? have a cuppa this weekend ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, no, see, it's a matroska doll of travel, vacations within vacations with vacation subcompartments of their own!
mircea_popescu: next week will go for a budapest salzburg/linz vienna munchen frankfurt berlin etc.
mircea_popescu: ah. well, we're doing this europe thing. did a 8-9 week budapest oslo warsaw minsk kiev etc etc
mircea_popescu: yet all the items involved were standard issue. dog leashes bought in the fucking mall (and guess what, i tried them on there ALSO, week ago). women produced through the usual process some years ago.
mircea_popescu: but in practice, i'm well satisfied it isn't going to be.
mircea_popescu hasn't actually read any of the links (nor do i intend to), so in theory this may be entirely baseless hatemongering on very comme il faut goodfolk who totally see the length of their nose.
mircea_popescu: i would propose that the true and proper as well as only possible epitaph for romania is exactly this "shithole had exactly one billionaire, and no fucking idea who he was".
mircea_popescu: and, of course, "i wonder who this is", because TEN YEARS have fucking passed in vain. back in 2009 BOTH
mircea badeas were like "hurr durr, who is mircea popeescu", meanwhikle a decade passed, nobody STILL ever fucking heard of either copy of them.
mircea_popescu: he's gonna get very far in life pretending to equality with his betters ; as the facts perceptible well confirm. /sarcasm
mircea_popescu: apparently saying "last night i met some really cool people, they fucking blew me out of the water THUS AND FOLLOWING" is forbidden by god or some such.
mircea_popescu: took like three orbitings to process, and the fucktard STILL didn't put it in, i'm sure.
mircea_popescu: "this is me sitting and you talking to people you don't know. leave it at that." was the ~actual~ answer.
mircea_popescu: you should have seen that dork, he creeped up to us while we were watching some locals zumba and all schmoozey "what is this ?"
mircea_popescu: it's like if evanston, wyoming thought itself the center of intergalactic trade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, timisoara dorks, they're very self important. can you imagine this glorified rural shithole actually imagines itself "the european culture capital 2019" ?
