pete_dushenski: canada has a strong moat of homegrown
talent
to further dissuade hollyrubes from entering, eg. celine dion, drake, bieber
mircea_popescu: you're
telling me
they're practically
the establishment cocksucker, not worth a name much like
the spittoon by
the corner of
the bar ain't worth a name ?!
mircea_popescu: you're
telling me all
the derpy pop starlets aren't bachs and mozarts and liszts of
their own self ?!
mircea_popescu: you are now
telling me
that nobody gives a shit,
that
these ITEMS grow like mushrooms past money rain, and
that if she leaves sbhe'll be forgotten in 5 minutes under a sea of nirvana-copycats ?
mircea_popescu: no really ? i
thought "empty eyes what's her face" (check out
the indian names lol) got worth and value in and of herself, and you know, she'll just leave and her fans will follow.

there going
to be a bunch of retarded "famous people" and other "stars" moving

mircea_popescu: "
Think of how wrong
the entire national media conversation wasand yes, I contributed my fair shareabout how
the Republicans were being
torn apart as a party."
mircea_popescu: "The ace ground game,
the brilliant ad-makers,
the
top Hollywood
talent, and
the best analytics operation ever assembled?
This was all a joke."
mircea_popescu: "The voters of
the party got
taken for a ride by
the people who controlled it,
the ones who promised
they had everything figured out and sneeringly dismissed anyone who suggested otherwise.
They promised
that Hillary Clinton had a lock on
the Electoral College.
These people didnt know what
they were
talking about, and
too many of us in
the media
thought
they did." and so on.
mircea_popescu: bahamas' ineptitude, and
the aparat's incompetence also helped, of course.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this just in : democratic party has ~same level of political clout / practical control as
the libertarians
traditionally do ; and significantly less cachet
than
the
tea party at its peak.
they're going
to be content with... municipal politics, for
the next 4+ years.
mircea_popescu: on
the strength of
their actually measured record, scored via brier or any other method you choose, lockin === silver, both of
them somewhere in
the morass of loud, potentially dangerous, practically useless idiots.

to find his proper station in life as an opinionated
taxi driver,
this clown is unfortunately likely
to be with us for years
to come, bringing shame on
the profession of quantitative analysis of data. We’ll be watching, Nate.'
mircea_popescu: one doesn't need
to look far ; just going by
the daily precedent
there's about 5k or so counts clinton can go
to jail for,
totalling about 1mn years or so.
mircea_popescu: "I believe
that if President
Trump instructs his special prosecutor Chris Christie or Rudy Giuliani
to find a way
to lock Hillary Clinton up, he would do so, gleefully, and
that many millions of people will look on and feel
that justicewhatever
that means going forwardwas done." << well nto
those named, but yes, absolutely, and yes, absolutely.
mircea_popescu: so are

mircea_popescu: plow cca 1800, one farmer could support
two-five soldiers

to keltic
time.
mircea_popescu: but "major extinction event" here means, >99% of pop is exterminated in short
time, such as a year or a decade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform intrinsic in
that proposition is
the core of socialism, which is
to say
that walkers have value by presence alone. i doubt
this is ever coming back. maybe in case of major extinction event
mircea_popescu: o look at
that, clinton sendoff most read
trilema article
this month.
this
thing barely happens once a year.
mircea_popescu: well... he does mean a specific
thing, by
that "blood and earth"
thing, which is a pre-modern notion of
the value of money.
PeterL: mircea_popescu
the Krugman quote I was kinda
trying
to
turn into a joke about

that

phf: PeterL: he's saying
that PA went red, but it's blue on

the strange electoral college, go
