☟︎ mircea_popescu: and no, it isn'
t some sort of brilliant idea to "you know, like swiss army knife, for sports handhelds!"
Framedragger is content with politness-instrumental-role in this context, but not certain if even that helps (being more confrontational (if that's the word) from the get-go ain'
t a bad thing, etc...)
mircea_popescu: can'
t ask other boys to talk to the girls that interest you, it's just not how this whole talking business works.
Framedragger: ok then will, can'
t hurt. but expect same success rate (0)...
mircea_popescu: but yes, costa rica mostly "colonial" style. which i like, myself, but i can see the "if it ain'
t small streets and vienese palaces everywhere it ain'
t the old country". guess not.

mircea_popescu: is it that you don'

a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 21:04 asciilifeform: asciilifeform doesn'
t win ~anything from 'to the moon', but is happy for pete_dushenski et al
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: anyways, i get the distinct impression that you don'
t want to be particularly rich and see no obvious merit or advantage to wealth. so what else is there to say.
pete_dushenski: means you're in a irc channel and someone says 'i'll give anyone here 10k btc for pizza or 5000eth/btc' and you raise your hand or don'
t.
danielpbarron: don'
t feel too bad; it's very difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God anyway
danielpbarron: maybe it doesn'
t work for any substantial amount of money. but a few k here and there..
trinque: ben_vulpes: you didn'
t wink enough.
pete_dushenski: probably won'
t hit $JOOYEAR on this run but there's always next one (5777 currently)
pete_dushenski: this is asciilifeform's problem with his understanding of blogs. 'i don'
t talk about traveling on my blog because that's not the theme' isn'
t how contravex works. i talk about whatever the fuck i'm interested in or thinking about or want to remember for later, regardless of whether or not the same 10 ppl are glued to their monitors adoring every word.
pete_dushenski: if you heard 'nice' 60k times a day in conversation you'd make a cheatsheet too. my teeth can'
t take much more grinding.
mircea_popescu: it's a sad day indeed for ourdemocracy when the panstuit clown can'
t even get away with her extrajudicial murders anymore
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check out the dividends of intelligence. discussion with random brat was not worth having, until i had it, and then recounted it, and now it's worth it -- plenty of people who want to be writers or bloggers or whatever but the head doesn'
t help them would gladly pay moneyz for such "Content" as idle chatter hath produced.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the whole tjhing with the "bretton woods agreement" / "our democracy peace and un" is an attempt to predicate the meaning on an authority predicated on the meaning, through the avenue of "we hate war". nice and good but can'
t work, and so it surprisingly does not work.
trinque might be a dumb guy, but can'
t remember the last time I lied.
trinque: clearly so. and behold, phf and I can'
t seem to parse messages, probably both wondering what the fuck the other intends by the character
mircea_popescu: "when trade stops war starts" is just an heuristic in this same vein. obviously if you can'
t negotiate prices you no longer have a meaningful basis.
mircea_popescu: anyway. so now imagine ~half of all the chicks her age are also blessed with her mentality and it should be plain obvious there's NO POSSIBILITY of satisfying them in any other way than through netflix. because, even if you bougth them all ferraris, through buying half a billion of the thing they wouldn'
t be veblen goods anymore and so no longer serve the purpose. because they don'
t want all this shit for itself ; they just w
mircea_popescu: i don'
t mean, "read and comprehend and allign mental space to it", no way. just the comprehend would be extra, in the sense of i dunno, a fucking ferrari. no, just you know, clicking on it and then forgetting about the tab. something like that.
mircea_popescu: yes. in so many words, exactly, and i also bet you that not only she didn'
t read the link, but she imagines that if she had read it she'd be doing me a favour, and more properly speaking she should be paid to read it.
mircea_popescu: the mtgox idiots frankly don'
t see why their situation should be any different from the situation of those fyre festival idiots. why are THOSE getting refunds and free tickets "next time" ?
trinque: you don'
t understand. there should be, so there is.
mircea_popescu: no, no, they don'
t care about the physical reality. the mental articulation is "1. i have claim ; 2. mommy makes good".
mircea_popescu: basically, what's going on here is, the STORY of life wouldn'
t make sense, ~as a story~, ie it wouldn'
t be put on tv, if there wasn'
t a twist here.
mircea_popescu: what fucking part of "usg stole all bitcoin you gave to mtgox long ago" isn'
t quite plain.
mircea_popescu: the internet really made it obvious i actually don'
t like people.
mircea_popescu: it's not so surprising that people who can'
t fix toilet buy intel chips. "Everyone else does!!1"
mircea_popescu: or w/e, let's phrase it in ourdemocracy terms, "you don'
t need computers if you did nothing wrong" or however it went.
mircea_popescu: what fucking fix. they can'
t open it anymore than they can fuck the woman on the deserted island. "nobody to introduce us!!1"

mircea_popescu: actual alcohol couldn'
t have gotten them, caucasians are used to it.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don'
t "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the retrospective correct analysis is, 1. you get a bunch of elite people get together (everyone who made the trip was elite -- else they couldn'
t afford the significant proceedings ; this includes the slaves, for the same reason -- if they weren'
t 10s nobody'd have taken them across and that's what in africa cca then it meant to be elite) ; 2. they have no way to communicate, for lack of language (because language

t, and *entirely their fault*
mircea_popescu suspects "looking european" is simply a placeholder for "looking like your entire fambly didn'
t starve since the day it was invented"
mircea_popescu: the only problem with such improvement is that the notion that "we shouldn'
t hafta die" becomes universal and then therefore...
mircea_popescu: only known similar example being soviet union. stalin - also elected. except rosas didn'
t actually behead his own lieutenants or all thje rest of the nonsense associated with stalinism. which is why they never fucking mention him.
diana_coman: in denial of what? they are happy because they are on the road to where they need to be; they don'
t know it/acknowledge it,so what difference does that make?
mircea_popescu: anyway, working great for them, soberania & argentina no es un pais pobre ftw. meanwhile they ain'
t got two empanadas to rub together and uni profs are buying socks on credit.
trinque: I can'

mircea_popescu: it's so fucking amusing to me, how derps always pretend like they got all the optionality and all the time in the world. hurr durr i'm some random chick, almost hot, almost smart ? clearly i don'
t have to jump on this guy the moment i see him. nah, let time pass, let me "figure things out", he'll still be here. then get all butthurt when "that slut" did EXACTLY what subs shopuld be doing. "omg she just jumped on him started

BingoBoingo: kid likely didn'

danielpbarron: they were investigating a drug ring in ivy league colleges; this guy was selling to some guy who was distributing on campus. i don'
t recall ever hearing of someone getting busted who just bought for personal use and chatted about it online.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell MKULTRA2 Who are you? I don'
t talk to strangers in pseudo-private
mircea_popescu: the operation of burning the instruments was always done in view of the patient. this because the doctors had noticed that in a 10-15% of cases, the sight alone produced delivery, and they weren'
t gonna fucking argue with anything that avoided the usage of the thing that left you know, scars on the baby sometimes carried into adulthood, not to mention dead mothers everywhere.
mircea_popescu: in the 19th century, childbirth was a lot more difficult an affair than these days. for one thing, there was no epidural. for another thing, none of this c-section bs ; most people didn'
t even do it. for the third, most women delivered assisted by an older woman without a doctor present. and so following.
mircea_popescu: "oh, parallel construction". really ? why, because someone's gonna believe this that wouldn'
t have believed anything else anyway ?
mircea_popescu: religion for as long as it doesn'
t actually get in the way of what i'm trying to do right now".
mircea_popescu: his position was ~same : this shit makes no sense to me, shouldn'
t make any sense to you, and in any case should have no temples (ie, public expenditure).
