mircea_popescu: they actually say
this, "i'm a dog lover".
then you meet
the dog, and
the general effect is "i love kids" guy with a fridge full of kid parts.
mircea_popescu: and
this nation,
that
to my knowledge has furthest perfected
the art of pointlessly but with extreme callous cruelty
torturing man's oldest and best friend, nevertheless considers itself full of dog lovers.
phf: somehow makes
total sense from all
the other argentina points
mircea_popescu: not quite, lots of dogs being
tortured on small
terraces, apartments, 3sq feet of concrete behind bars (srsly, pair of dogs, COULDNT EVEN STRETCH OUT!).
phf: look,
the margins are
thin and
the fish gotta go, you buying or what
pete_dushenski: or sign on car rotting on mechanic's lot : "needs work
to get running but a smooth driver!"
mircea_popescu: like "fish, delicious and healthy!" label on a caserole in
the discount yesterday's icebox.
phf: well, i suspect he's got his facts right, but
the commentary is dodgy
mircea_popescu: lol! dat "he got everything wrong but
the subject is interesting".
BingoBoingo: In other customer complaints: "Bought a weed and grass killer. Used it according
to instructions and it killed a linden
tree and many plants. Ace does not seem
to be responsible and
turned me over
to a David at spectrum who admitted
that
their product does damage."
phf: "Sure it might
take
ten years and only work on a quarter of
the new hires but
that’s why we employ you for 45 years and hire a hundred at once!"
phf: "The company will mold you
to
their exacting specifications
to do whatever form of service
they require. You will happily comply, in
this as in all
things. For example, if your company needs a Java-speaking systems engineer and you have a degree in Art History,
this is not a problem because you can be fixed."
trinque: As Iraqi forces advanced
toward
the al-Salam hospital in Mosul earlier
this week, encountering only light resistance from Islamic State fighters, commanders decided
to seize
the facility instead of sweeping
the neighborhoods along
the road leading
to it.
trinque charitably assumes it was a chick blowing kisses at
the Republic
mats: merp. friendo
typed in my window
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: i guess
the dude was just "getting his identity confirmed" or w/e KYC stuff.
mircea_popescu: yes but i guess
they can't be arsed
to deal with stuck in
traffic peon / having
to physically go
to
the peon pen etc
mircea_popescu: dude i have nfi. because
they're used
to hiring camwhores ?
mircea_popescu: they usually don't walk
the streets, being selected for a sort of pretentious lazyness, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: how would i elaborate, you'e
the one who's stumped. you elaborate.
mircea_popescu: as in, picked off
the streets because anybody can anything and selected for certain attributes.
mircea_popescu: or if
they don't because society broke down, i guess my guardpeople shoot her and
throw
the body
to
the dogs. either way.
mircea_popescu: so she burns down some apartment.
the firepeople will put it out,
the insurance people will pay for it and i guess
the police people will
take her
to
the doctorpeople or w/e.
mircea_popescu: why would
there be a
THE HOUSE ? i don't subscribne
to "let's all go
to
the same shitty island and make a georepublic" ima have a
the house ?
mircea_popescu: what exactly is
the cost of failure ? is it some sort of "oh, i can't go
talk
to
the girl in
the bar" sort of crazy ?
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine
that whoever wanted
to get in couldn't at least
try.
mircea_popescu: the point is,
that "i would suck at fucking dudes" is a very poor excuse and entirely rotten pillar of identity.
mircea_popescu: it's not like preference's forbidden or anything. i'm sure i'd be great at fucking dudes,
too, i never fucked any nevertheless.
mircea_popescu: but by all means, if you,
trinque or anyone else feels like running su airpilot style court, your right and priviledge. i'm sure it'll work just fine.
mircea_popescu: if you feel like anything good ; and if you feel like nothing in particular reddit's
that way.
mircea_popescu: i personally prefer
the "here's
the book pile, go read whatever ; do something"
mircea_popescu: now
THAT easy-seeking habituation is what
the hot irons are used for.
mircea_popescu: and no, i have no argument - it is EASIER
to
think of yourself as "i am good at x" raqther
than "brain works or doesn't work."
mircea_popescu: of course,
this was in a
time of general conscription and so forth. obviously
things have changed - it is easier after all.
mircea_popescu: the "nfl picks" usian system seemed very alien, and quite frankly wasteful,
to
the general mind. "americans will never amount
to anything in sports"
therefore.
mircea_popescu: there was entirely no "picking" in romania,
the romania
that produced
the first full 10 olympic gymnasts. hundreds of
thousands of kids ran into
thousands of pe
teachers who very pointedly "body works
to it - now make it work
to jump!"
mircea_popescu: laugh, but
they very pointedly picked former approach.
trinque: and
that a brain works does not mean
that
the requisite information for a particular has yet been jammed in.
mircea_popescu: i also didn't see meat airplane borne out of
the soviet maternity circuit.
this proves something ?
mircea_popescu: there's no "good at math" anymore
than
there is "white dicks cunt"
mircea_popescu: either your brain works or doesn't. if it does, you can use it for all brain
things, much like either your cunt works or doesn't, and if it does it does for all dicks.
mircea_popescu: and i am entirely unconvinced by
this "good at x" bs. nobody's "good at x".
the "good at x" is nonsense of
the ilk and period of "blind love",
to
try and help
the wedge of who-equivalency into
the
trunk of reality.
mircea_popescu: still,
the question was "how who" not "how non-who".
that your milk contains fat and water is not a valid objection
to "how do you get fat from
the cow ?" "you milk it"
mircea_popescu: eulora, with its steep learning curve and well engineered intake manifolds is actually a muchly improved bitcoin from
THIS perspective.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-08 14:44 mircea_popescu has
the pleasure
to introduce EDLionX , who's chinese, lives in brunei and looks altogether like a great kid (though he isn't a kid!)
mircea_popescu: (arguably
this is also in
the past - not like i'm actually forbidding redditards
to reddit, even as i am squeezing
the cream from
the
thing)
mircea_popescu: nobody is going
to forbid modernism.
they who wish
to feel equal will have a place where
this is how
things works.
mircea_popescu: (o look!
the separation of
the fat from
the water in
the sense of leaving
the who-equivalent modernists behind in
the gutter is actually quite
the viscerally ferocious
thing!)
mircea_popescu: which reduces
to and is in fact equivalent with
the "no economic future for average human" above, and with
the "there's nothing one can do on
the simple basis of being one" even further above.
mircea_popescu: the WHO is
the major consideration ;
the what is relatively equivalent.
mircea_popescu: anyway -
the original point was how
the environment changed, and modernism is strictly no longer possible because exogenous reasons, not opened
to consensusing electoralizing etc.
mircea_popescu: once
that becomes old,
they'll become dead, in a very starved and cold sense of
the
term.
mircea_popescu: for as long as we still feel like entertaining ourselves by providing
them with food and board,
the derpage will last. and
they'll "put women back into history at
the call of bbc wikipedia.
mircea_popescu: there's no economic future for
the average human, quite literally.
mircea_popescu: sure, but
tell you what :
the headaches of managing herd would be a lot closer in your mind had you i dunno, been a mcdonalds manager in your late
teens.
mircea_popescu: do you know how many longshoremen work for amazon ? o wait ...
the name is entirely antiquated.
mircea_popescu: yes,
there isn't a beep-boop
thing going around your livingroom. but it might as well be -
the warehouse is entirely robotized ;
the production line mostly ; etcetera. even driving is going away.
