mircea_popescu: where the fuck do these idiots go to school ? clearly it must be a special venue.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-02-2015#1031922 << this is fucking insane. "federal employees are not overpaid because federal govt is a business except it's not a business, and other businesses that are businesses skew the business average data!!!! federal employees are not overpaid by comparison to federal employees, in fact thjere's a perfect 1:1 correspondence"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "In any business, including the Federal Government" << check it out ?! it's a business now ?
mircea_popescu: honestly, it looked more like a private concern of the guy's.
mircea_popescu: i guess this qualifies in the same line. but at least it was fucking customs, not the airline.
mircea_popescu: a decade or w/e ago i last visited the us, they wanted to know if i have any real clothes.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski "it wasn't a diary kibbutz, it was a bombs and explosives kibbutz. DIE GREAT SATAN!!!"
mircea_popescu: such nuts. "wtf dude it's not your business how much money i got"
mircea_popescu: or else you have partially unmonetized cool, and then there's different cools vying. like, las vegas is the cool for people like liz blakely. however, san diego is the cool for people like leah mcfuckface, what's her name
mircea_popescu: problem is, it's like money : either you have fully monetized cool, and then it's cool and that's that, suck it.
mircea_popescu: because hey, why should you get blamed for doing something stupid ? force others to do it for you!
mircea_popescu: not really, not anymore. not since hughes bought the cool people out.
mircea_popescu: i don't think it ever reached the level. i mean it's been trying, ever since the 80s winter games etc. but...
mircea_popescu: how awful it is has no bearing on how cool it is. new york sucked at all points.
mircea_popescu: somehow "cuntslime on every rock" makes a place want you to stay. which is exactly why las vegas exists.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski incredibly enough, it's not how that works.
mircea_popescu: you just opened yourself for a pile of rocks thrown eh.
mircea_popescu: generally, it's the "bare cunts dancing" district that makes or breaks a city's cool.
mircea_popescu: back when new york was cool, it was principally broadstreet.
mircea_popescu: uni being cool don't enter into it. florida and arizona party schools are very cool, i would visit, i would not ever stay lmao
mircea_popescu: nubbins` how did you get the idea twodogs is cool as in, someone'd want to move there as a thing to do, rather than "whatever, they are giving out money here"
mircea_popescu: im curious too, vicariously. if you figure it out say.
mircea_popescu: have "toss the feminist" festivals, people (that aren't retards) may wanna come.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski the only thing that can work is making the place be cool. merely "not suck" is not good enough.
mircea_popescu: if you want to fix it, what you do is, you pick a pimp, give him legal immunity for a decade, let him build cabaret street.
mircea_popescu: anyway. this is kind-of how it worked in all teh warsaw pact. except back then people actually had nothing better to do with their time, (LIKE IN A PRISON, ALF!) so they studied.
mircea_popescu: naked woman just bent to pick up my garbage. i forget, what were we saying ?
mircea_popescu: heh. greece, the least rich eu country, adheres to nubbins` ideals!
mircea_popescu: no but i mean, do you qualify for free degree irrespective of any exam, grades, etc ?
mircea_popescu: this is exactly like suicide : the people who succeed we want. the people who fail should have succeeded.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile, things that exist because thery're beautiful may get a pass.
mircea_popescu: because the only reason it exists is that it's useful. if useful can't pay useful can go hang.
mircea_popescu: nah, that i can see paying for. what i can't see ever paying for is "social studies", "womens studies" etc.
mircea_popescu: same reason women don't have to pay to go to a club, especially if they go naked.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` generally you don't have to pay if you're very very good. at least the ones i'm familiar with.
mircea_popescu: so they did go from under 20% to over 20% in the interval.
mircea_popescu: that article of course was in 2013. meanwhile it's no longer 18`219 spam comments out of 96`421 total, it's 29`704 out of 112`367 total.
mircea_popescu: (what the bots do these days is crib facebook for textual content, hack it together and use it as spam filler to fool bayesian filters. which are STILL a stupid fucking idea)
mircea_popescu: he played the most fucktarded names too. deke. vince. etc
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i may be like, the first owner in human slavery history to actually discourage drug use by teh chattel.
mircea_popescu: he has all the sexual projection of a highschool retard.
mircea_popescu: elvis was dumb as rocks, if reports are to be trusted.
