mircea_popescu: prolly before.
the way
these
things work
there's definite events
that make it obvious and indisputable, but
the
thing was prolly rotten before.
mircea_popescu: eh. london's not been
the center of
the world's finances since soros raped it at
the latest.
mircea_popescu: the only story worth
telling in financial, and so obv
the only story you won't ever read, is
that
this election already has been
the last straw - new york is no longer
the world's financial center.
mircea_popescu: they're so delightfully idiotic,
these people. "oh, major power is looking
to influence elections in shithole.
THIS IS SO UNPRECEDENTED!!1"
mircea_popescu: i
think it's a decent meme. "don't make me make you suffer
the."
BingoBoingo: fxd even
though looking back at
typo Soylent could be gravely suffering from "the"
mircea_popescu: "food replacement start up Soylent is suffering
the in wake a a severe" << is it suffering
the ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform going right back
to
the "mempool != blockpool" issue
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sorry,
the spirit of
the
TrumpReich was
too strong at
that moment, has been fxd
Framedragger: probably multiple valid ways of interpreting
that sentence anyway :)
BingoBoingo: It's a weird
thing because plants and proteins. It a slural
Framedragger: (modern english is not an inflected language; latin is more inflected. "phenomenon" is a latin word. suffix "on" here denotes singular; "a" denotes plural. but
this is probably known, apologies if patronizing
tone)
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: "Digestive intolerance of unfamiliar plant proteins is not an uncommon phenomena" -> phenomena, i
thought, refers
to
the subject, i.e. "digestive intolerance", which is a singular (not many phenomena, but a single: intolerance)
BingoBoingo: Framedragger: Plural or what? Everyone hates
the same protein folded
the same way?
ben_vulpes: we
throw parties, drink, argue over every single seat and pencil
the boxes in on our mail-in ballots
a111: Logged on 2016-11-08 15:37 asciilifeform: lel, asciilifeform is standing in queue
to stuff 'paper ballot' into... diebold scanner.
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: s/is not an uncommon phenomena/is not an uncommon phenomenon/ (singular, not plural) i
think?
BingoBoingo: ^ Far more future influence
than
Trump-Clinton vs. Rodham-Clinton
a111: Logged on 2016-11-08 17:38 mircea_popescu: back
to
the lulzpocalypse,
there's exactly 0 reporting on early voting / outside-the-booth polls / etc from
the pantsuit media.
shinohai: "Votes from Guam, however, don’t count, as
the island has no representation in
the Electoral College. "
mircea_popescu: back
to
the lulzpocalypse,
there's exactly 0 reporting on early voting / outside-the-booth polls / etc from
the pantsuit media.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well any of
the aspiring young'uns looking for stuff
to do works.
mircea_popescu: amusingly,
the internets never heard of
this mohan nirala before.
mircea_popescu: because why,
todd richman is magically able
to read and comprehend data at
that rate ?
mircea_popescu: consequently, public defendant
todd richman will
take over.
mircea_popescu: lol. defendant's counsel is unable
to review 1tb of data in a foreign language + 36k individual records also in a foreign language made available by prosecution a week before
trial date.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Naturally.
They prolly count
the undead ballots where you are
BingoBoingo: Likely hypothesis is "blue" areas suck because of all
the rigging
that has
to be navigated around without
tripping.
Thus adventures
the good shit socialism on
the sulphur sea of lies.
trinque: same,
though I went last week. only lulz were some old guy yelling at staff about how he's been voting for 40 years and so on.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> lol. but why, aren't you in a blue state ? << "Blue" areas for some reason have shit voting infrastructure
though "Blue" Politicians
talk of making voting easier. Meanwhile in "Red" areas voting just works.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and holy fuck, hour+ queue for ONE (yes, one) ballotron. << It
took
two minutes
to check in and
take myself
to one one
the many booths. Even with pollig place crowded.
mircea_popescu: how do you reconcile
this with
the grand lizzard plan ?
mircea_popescu: traditionally
the arab horde fought west first, east 2nd.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-20 20:33 mircea_popescu: and what's worse,
the "wiki" style is proven not
to work. even something originally as promising as
tvtropes has over
the years decayed into
this unfunny collection of
tiresome goop.
mircea_popescu: much like black mold,
they
took advantage of a dirty environment and spread.
PeterL: ^ WTF, why does
this derp
think we want
to hear about
their sinus infection? What is wrong with
these people?
mircea_popescu: make it illegal
to medicalize convenience, of all kinds. i get it
that it'd be convenient for
the politicians if
the doctors distributed social payola
to
the poor under
the pretense of "health". dun work
that way regardless.
mircea_popescu: once
that's done, 98
to 99.9% of all "costs" suddenly vanish, and suddenly you get a sane health system.
mircea_popescu: the us health care problem has only one solution, and it's compressive not expansive. a) shoot all
the malades imaginaires (such as, fine example,
https://archive.is/yyQny). these literally have
to be shot, no possible
two ways about it ; b) make it impossible for doctors
to give
the patient benefits. no days off from work ; no financial payments dependent on what doctor says on paper. nothing. no more painkillers of any kind
PeterL: I
thought
that was one of
the
things obummercare was supposed
to fix, but it seems
the only options offered are hyperexpensive
trinque: has nothing
to do with health
PeterL: I don't expect car insurance
to be covered by my employer, why is health insurance different?
