Mocky: ha, "However, the new decree stipulates that if a permanent resident leaves Qatar for more than six months, the interior minister could withdraw from the residency" ☟︎
Mocky: seems like a play at keeping those who are already 'lifers', but unofficially so
asciilifeform: 'those born abroad would need to have lived there 20 years' << bit of a downer
asciilifeform: i recall a subj thrd
asciilifeform: i imagine a maggot's idea of heaven, this, the fresh meat with no prev maggot crew. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( whether could have won, or not, whoknows, usg 'court' is approx a bank balance contest. but did not even TRY ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: then again, for all i know, d00d is already trooly and properly dead, and the surrender was penned for him. ( btw anybody located a signed copy ? and what's the most recent signed linus material anyway ? )
asciilifeform: and ftr i dun buy mircea_popescu's 'was always a shit' hypothesis. d00d by any possible measure 'by the fruits' was NOT always-shit. ☟︎
asciilifeform: it is interesting to consider diff b/w esr and linus. esr judased a thing he had 0 part in baking, and wanked for 20y on the periphery of. linus on oher hand merrily fucked not only the folx who were dumb enuff to invest 25y into baking with him, but... own life's work ☟︎
asciilifeform: i expect either a) whole thing is made to silently evaporate , via the usual means b) gpl is formally unwound by usg 'courts', so rathead et al can carry along. i dun see a c) ...
asciilifeform: 'Contributors: You were promised something, you laboured for that promise, and now the promise has become a lie. You have remedies available to you now, as-well as in the close future .' etc
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 00:10 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-17#1835536 << such a fucking injun. how, just HOW does one get so fucking stupid. "jwz" amirite, "he only wanted to". this existence is too burdensome for the likes of special cunthead.
Mocky: i have a bag to check, but not even sure at this point if it will be half full.
asciilifeform: ( with tower it is much easier to dispense with this, you can bolt an ordinary desk drawer steel handle to most of'em in a few min )
asciilifeform: made the chore quite a bit lighter
Mocky: unless ur a hunchback i suppose
Mocky: lappy screen is 4k. overkill honestly for a 15 inch
asciilifeform: Mocky: hey, at least you dun have the pain of mircea_popescu , who left a whole trinitron behind in old world
Mocky: yeah, laptop in a laptop bag. has been my primary workstation for some years now. except not packing the 43in monitor!
asciilifeform: d00d also had a number of items re islamic theology, schisms, etc. but none of it locatable from my perch
asciilifeform: Mocky: the item in $thread, btw, was by one a. s. tritton , 1943
Mocky: among a few others
Mocky: asciilifeform, a brit book, but prolly less vintage: J.R. Smart '86
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Remember if you have any questions that I did live in a travel accomodation for more than half a year.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 16:14 asciilifeform: i'm going from a very vintage brit b00k, with very flavourful examples, e.g. 'donkey is poor man's horse', 'i killed the man whose uncle killed my father', 'to be killed is the noblest death', etc in this spirit
Mocky: feels like a mad dash with only two weeks before lift off BingoBoingo. new luggage arrived today.
asciilifeform: spread like a lolcat meme, and mostly vanished away as the old students died away, perestroika 'modernity' took hold and brought manufactured dopes
asciilifeform: in '80s su, there was a period when undergrads 'rediscovered' meth, on own power, as ephedrine was openly sold by the litre 'for asthmatic'
Mocky: i wanted to try it. was dealing with a weight problem
BingoBoingo: That's pseudoephedrine, but yeah. A bit slow in USG
BingoBoingo: Well, its a big family of chemicals
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's a 'diet pill' anyway ? is it simply euphemism for ??? synthetic dope 'not banned in usgreich yet'
BingoBoingo: That's what the current 80's Party Groping fight generating all the noise right now is about. Pantsuit stretching to beat/delay a Trump nominee on parlimentary procedure.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at this rate i fully expect that he, clitler, and the rest, will succumb to old age long before they see so much as a fine
asciilifeform: ( wonder, does saudi subject lose his head if it gets out that he went to london and had a whiskey ? )
asciilifeform: i dun see how the exact constant makes a practical diff tho
asciilifeform: phunphakt, this is one of those 'national seekoority' things they claim extraterritoriality on -- fuck a 17.99999yo in paris, bang, you're assange
trinque suspects the ritual is about avoiding sexual imprinting at a critical age
asciilifeform: i actually have a d00d, at the outer foggy reaches of my l2, who did 5y for 17yo.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's the 1 thing ameritards all seem to agree on. gun, dope, 'illegal' finance, etc cases, sometimes jury nullifies. but 'fucked 17yo? 20 to life' seems to be solidly a-ok by typical ameri-idjit
asciilifeform: there's a reason they try to set up 'fucked 17yo' for these, it is a kind of gold standard, rather like the old 'trotskyite counter-revolutionary activity', tends to put a cork in all discussion in derposphere by harnessing the healthy hatred for podesta-style pedo, insta-alchemizes accusation into 'guilt', etc ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the usual reddit-idjit red herring. ( as if he ~had~ to fuck a 17.9 y.o. whore, to be put on assange list, and would somehow not have sufficed that he wore leather shoes, or maybe said unkind word re j00z, or torrented 'star wars ixxxv' or whatever )
BingoBoingo: Well, the derps who figured the pedo thing justified their demographic objections to Milo tend to be referring to Wilson's entrapmant as a such
asciilifeform: ( quite likely even what got him nominated for woodchipper, i can't picture anybody on either side giving half a shit re umpteenth micro-cnc )
asciilifeform: or, moar recent example, the (gassed yet?) wilson d00d. apparently on top of the cnc thing, also made a 'hatreon', 'nazi' clone of patreon pantsuitism
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I mean as in the guy took acting classes, Hollywood didn't call back, decided to do the irony schtick for a buck. Only sligtly less human view.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in so far as i can tell, d00d was actually dumb enuff to believe that 'reddit right is a political force to be reckoned with' or somesuch
asciilifeform: prolly good candidate for a fyootoor pill
asciilifeform: in mostly unrelated lulz, there are apparently noads who shove a couple 100 MB (!) of bastard blox into a connected trb, prior to the latter throwing the ban switch ( because of the idjit shitoshi networking routine, actual disconnect happens a good 10-20sec after ban ) ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( there was a related mircea_popescu piece re paulgraham et al, in re how they tried to cargocult-revive orig 'dotcom' bacchanalia )
mircea_popescu: anyway, leaving behind the point -- there's a lot of frustration among "community organizers" (as the niggers prefer to call themselves) when they DO manage to community-organize and nothing fucking happens still.
mircea_popescu: meh can't fucking find it. some pantsuit-in-alt-colors prop derping about how unfair it is that his followers don't follow, and how much he spent having a security detail to eat sushi
a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 17:18 weevlos: trinque: we are a media publication. our power and capital comes from the number of visitors we have to the site. we aim to transform through culture. if normal people cannot visit our site we are not accomplishing our goal
asciilifeform: literacy is the only working defense against the http://btcbase.org/log/2014-02-01#472242 thing, and is 'only a terrorist'(tm) 'would make logs' ☝︎
asciilifeform: literacy, it's a thing, aha
mircea_popescu: whereas the thing with pedos is that they're one step further on the path -- "we have a BROTHERHOOD". pedophilia in the modern sense is a deeply communal activity -- the more people jacking off to the same videos of beheaded children, the more sustainable the activity of beheading childrten.
mircea_popescu: notreally. there's a "secret brotherhood", see ?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about the cool hackers on the internet, but only the assholes with prestigious positions." this has been a widely known complaint for a long time
mircea_popescu: speaking of monstrosities like http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-31#999165 -- i suppose the deep driver of their unhappiness is precisely this, "1990s pedos made wikipedia seem like it's a big deal, and 2000s pedos made reddit seem like it's a big deal. why can't we 2010s pedos make lesswrong/whatever pedo trading post seem like it's a big deal ?!!? god only knows we're the gays of a century ago, god-gifted with the only creativ ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'charlie was a chemist, but charlie is no moar, for what he thought was h2o, was h2so4'(tm)(r)
mircea_popescu: sadly what he thought was the republic was the previous decade's reddit, "outgrowth of a pedo picture trading club"
asciilifeform: dunno if that, or if simple failure of imagination, 'hmm, what text will folx read on a b&w lcd ? iknow, pediwikia'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now thing for a moment --- "random day of logs". suddenly...
mircea_popescu: and if the latter was wortth maybe a few mn all told, the ENTREI instagram ~culture~ (again -- not just the site) is barely worth 10k.
asciilifeform: lol i still have that thing. lulzily, they were designed and built by a sort of lone wolf craftsman, thing actually runs a forth interpreter.
mircea_popescu: the original reason encyclopedists were even a thing, in the 1800s, was that their product ~was worth reading~ in all cases. the ~entire use of an encyclopedia is for kids to open it randomly and read interesting things regardless.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-13 16:54 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: about a decade ago, i bought, on a lark, a keychain thing that claimed to contain all of the text of the then-pediwikia, and had 'random' button. ~99+% of presses of this button, resulted in 'flyshit, montana'-type nowhere-village article.
mircea_popescu: the fact that ~every~ item you look at will turn out to have been ~worth~ looking at is overpowering -- because it makes a life of the mind accessible to much more people.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 14:27 mircea_popescu: there is no, strictly speaking, reason that iron MUST be provided on the surface of a planet just like the earth. it ~could~, very well, have simply gone through a place poor in planetoids and ended up entirely iron free on the surface. but it did not.
mircea_popescu: this is a much more fucking important consideration that ever considered, specifically because of the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-28#1759568 line. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ... and prolly a necessary pre-req to stripping support for dynamic linkage entirely
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 19:31 phf: ave1: thank you for investigation, i've gotten as far myself. there's an implicit global isystem that gets placed ahead of whatever isystem's you pass on command line. i've tried a variety of flags (e.g. --nostdinc), but didn't find the right combination yet. (the other way to discover it instead of using strace is to run the cpp -v command instead with most of the same arguments)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1853138 << the chix threaded onto a kitchen faucet -- is genius ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1853137 << this reminds me of an item i had on chalkboard but never had a chance to actually bake -- a running log of where/when (ip, remote ver, time) noad got each incoming candidate block . ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: dude was in point of fact doing the whole instagram scene, by himself, AND BETTER, a decade earlier.
mircea_popescu: https://threequestionmarks.com/the-photo-thing%3F%3F%3F << pretty great fucking sendoff, too. "Merkley??? spent a little over a decade with photoshop, naked people, pets and groceries and this is part of what came of it all. When the Kardashians and instagram hit the scene, he sorta lost interest in superficial physical beauty. I think you know what that's all about."
phf: ave1: thank you for investigation, i've gotten as far myself. there's an implicit global isystem that gets placed ahead of whatever isystem's you pass on command line. i've tried a variety of flags (e.g. --nostdinc), but didn't find the right combination yet.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not only remember, but there was a 2nd part, 'adult woman'
asciilifeform: ( some folx never got the memo, that if you imagine world but dun lift a finger to build, the folx in white coats show up eventually )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very insidious, this "you can imagine a world for yourself to live in". will take just as much as you got to give. i suppose it should be the fourth rider of apocalypse -- junkies, pleabargains, husbands and tulpas.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1852953 << hard out there for a pimp, when he trynna make his naive notions stick... ☝︎
ave1: I'll work on a fix this week
ave1: phf, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1852924, I've tried on debian and I can reproduce the problem, Unfortunately I have no solution yet (it will probably be a patch). It seems the default/internal gcc spec defines "-isystem /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu ☝︎
mircea_popescu: junkie != addict. the term denotes a specific thing.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the junkie's like the "pleabargained" felon or the married man : refuse, used up. he's got his children to take care of and a certain investment, no longer apt of being part of human society. http://trilema.com/2012/cine-se-casatoreste/ problem.
mircea_popescu: and years without a girl, still pined also. what's pinery to do with anything
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, all addicts get a fix now and again or else cold turkey out of it.
mircea_popescu: no, junkie is definitionally... actually, there's a great film, in which al pacino is "about to quit, he's jsut chippin' anyway" and his brother tells his gf he ain't chippin, he's a user.
mircea_popescu: i guess. from observation, it is somewhat difficult to distinguish specific talent in girls. i do this professionally, so to speak, and spend a lot of time/resources on it.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-25 03:08 asciilifeform: busy as a bee << funny that they show an idiot sow scrubbing, and not, e.g, paul erdos crapping out theorems
mircea_popescu: (downtown san jose is very much what'd count as lafond's baltimore in the states -- very cheap flophouses, very cheap bars, unattended garbage, girls sleeping six to a bed, all that good stuff)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1852944 << pretty much what they do downtown here also. it discourages the drunks/junkies from grabbing purses/pestering the ever-dwindling rich white people seeking a little thrill. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: to wind down this lengthy story : i can fucking see why there's a market for cocksleeves.
mircea_popescu: a few retirees on evidently fixed incomes. i can't imagine who the fuck would let them in, they want to nurse a beer while some hottie holds their thigh, it looks WAY too much like retirement home services for comfort.
mircea_popescu: then, at the brothel, a hundred or so chicks you wouldn't fuck, on parade. "why is everyone here speaking english ?!"
mircea_popescu: more disinterested girls you never saw, even at starbucks ; eventually the pit boss had to send a couple of the perfunctory shitheads to sit at our table, whom i waved off to their great excitement (how wonderful! now we can just say we checked the tickbox and don't have to do anything! there's nothing anyone can do, we tried!).
mircea_popescu: in which lulz : took new girl to strip club and then brothel yest. strip club charged me $75 in cover, notwithstanding i brought the hottest girl there, by a fat margin. so while we sit and drink through our included drinks, i see, wonders of wonders, a girl's feet off the ground for once. first time in this country. she even did a bit of floor work! totally, for cr standards tango india vip is utterly happening.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have nfi. but if the problem isn't that the site's just broken, and cuts off subjects as a token of "great web ux", but rather they're just universally TOO FUCKING STUPID TO FLIP THEIR PHONES....
trinque often to staff, "lets flap food holes for a while on this" to prompt switch to phone
mircea_popescu: that's the amusing part of the human body : if you can tickle her, she's not aroused, same pathway serves both and it'd be blocked. lots and lots and LOTS of this multi-use, switched single wiring in the human body. as a for instance, the "not all that tingles" signal for "don't end up with a loser" and "not all that tingles" signal for "downregulate libido in general" is the same pathway in womenz.
