mircea_popescu: ah ah
mircea_popescu: hm ?
mircea_popescu: wut do ? wut do ? http://trilema.com/2017/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom/ ; specifically : for as long as every moron thinks he can make his own decisions, ugs's the necessary end result.
mircea_popescu: because this is what the shit even exists FOR ; getting everyone to be a moron, only some with a positive and some with a negative inca outline is perfectly fine "getting everyone to be a moron" outcome, as far as inca's concerned.
mircea_popescu: #1841508 because "that's hard" right, and instead fucking about with unicode to destroy the usual imperial http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-27#1491698 approach. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "<AlwaysHigh11> Ꮃⅰtһ оᥙr ІᖇᏟ ɑⅾ ѕᥱrⅴⅰⅽᥱ уo∪ саᥒ rеaϲһ a gⅼоbaⅼ audⅰᥱᥒϲᥱ ⲟf ᥱntrеⲣrеᥒе∪rѕ and fеntaᥒуⅼ ɑⅾⅾⅰctѕ witһ ᥱxtrɑοrdіnаrỿ еngaɡeⅿᥱnt rateѕⵑ httⲣs፡᜵/wⅰⅼlіɑmpіtсⲟⅽk.сοⅿ/" << meanwhile in dilbertism, the spamming moron club DIDN'T http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-14 ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this is a terrible arrangmeent, recall the onset of the (meanwhile, botched) pizarro wire/auction was a month ago, and waited for the same thing ?
mircea_popescu: lobbes well so wait, working log delayed until (close, hopefully) completing bot rewrite ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathy
mircea_popescu: (for the curious : there's also a dilbert-for-women, there to make usg.womanhood palatable in the sense dilbert makes usg.corporatelife palatable. i suspect it might be a lot better illustration of wtf's wrong with "impotent cvasi-opposition" for boys, as they're not similarily conditioned and so lacking the pivots might even understand the workings of THAT hidden hand) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the overarching point being that neither #trilema nor tmsr is a sort of dilbert-larping-zone, here for the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845588 "salaried zek" element to gather after hours, smoke, and predictably if circularly discuss how-stupid-everyone-but-us-is. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: if i end up negrating you because i have nfi what you're doing, it's not strictly "mp is a meanie head" ; it can very well also be "i'm fucking terrible at communicating my position, end up run over by heavy machinery".
mircea_popescu: an' finally, to be explicit rather than implicit : dear mats, while it's perfectly fine to be working with whichever lord you prefer to be working, if you don't enjoy working with me, but the place for that is in the respective castle. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: what are you working on, these days ? why do i have to ask this ? etc.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of this, let's try an' resync with ben_vulpes also. after http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831355 and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-25#1837688 haven't heard much. is this different from "i've found myself obscure rural church, much better republic for my needs than the genuine article" and if so, how ? ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: does it load the log for today or the log for the 27th ?
mircea_popescu: get back to me, will ye ? what happened here ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: !!seen lobbes
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-22#1843763 << i've not even checked this, because seems http://logs.minigame.biz/latest.log.html died on the 27th ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re " She also tries to get me to give running a try" << it is a shameful state for an adult male to not be able to outrun&overtake ~any female of sexual interest age.
mircea_popescu: " At somepoint escalating incidents of being called her adorable hog while getting my belly lovingly jiggled" AAAAAhahahaha!!1
mircea_popescu: "Once the shockwave passes over you, you need to find shelter immediately and stay sheltered under as much concrete and steel as possible for 48 hours—this is critical" << this is terrible advice lol. metal cover for shelter more dangerous than the explosion itself. Bremsstrahlung ftw.
mircea_popescu: i like the "If you see someone wearing a motorcycle helmet have an accident, DO NOT pull their helmet off for any reason. By all means, loosen the chin strap, but leave the helmet on and let the paramedics or doctors deal with it. You don’t know what that helmet is holding together"
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how i thought scrub is a daytime tv drama franchise, wtf, it's a shop now too ?! here's what "see also" imgur recommends for me : https://imgur.com/gallery/z1TSZ6D
mircea_popescu: blame, also.
mircea_popescu: I VLAME 70S AMERICA!
mircea_popescu just watched "the ice storm", is slightly pissy nobody in there made cristina ricci take off her top.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845760 << good thing you and the other dads got together, pooled your house mortgages or w/e, and lent him 100k to go to college. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yes "stalin industrialized" ; but much like "napoleon reformed", he didn't follow upon an empty lot. lotta mazarin work for the king went into the preparatory phase.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845690 and to continue http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713741 : the russian economy was actually just about larger than that of france and england COMBINED in the first portion of the 19th century. ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: they even have strass.com!
mircea_popescu: (mostly because what's known (because marketed, duh) as "swarovski" today was bohemian crystal back in the days of my childhood, when 5-10lb fruit bowls of the stuff were commonly gifted ; but before that... it was strass
mircea_popescu: fun fact : strass is how you say "cheap fake", even today, even in romanian.
mircea_popescu: even when applied to something as campbell-soup-can as strasser's nonsense.
mircea_popescu: but consider the german of https://8ch.net/fascist/res/185.html#185 "I feel like my German translation is shit today. It's been a year since I've been in Europe and approaching six months plus of no classes"
mircea_popescu would count girl born in china chinese, if she lived there, sure.
mircea_popescu: meh, 2nd hand. never works. i didn't learn sicilian from "italian government girl from rome working in palermo" either.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, in my case problem greatly compounded by failure to find sexually interesting chinese girl.
mircea_popescu: i suspect i might be too stupid to appreciate chinese "lang".
mircea_popescu: "language barrier" is another word for stupid.
mircea_popescu: yet somehow can't find a SINGLE chick smart enough to figure out gpg.
mircea_popescu: think, we could buy china's entire production of abducted baby for like... a decade
mircea_popescu: that's ~1 btc lol.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in the fanfic/fake news, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2989404/Child-snatchers-abducting-200-000-boys-girls-openly-selling-online-10-000-kidnapping-epidemic-destroying-families-China.html
mircea_popescu: hmm, fuck me, i'm wrong. they only make about 17mn or so a year, both genders. for some reason i tought moar like 25.
mircea_popescu: >10mn 15 years ago also. and 17 and 19 and so forth.
mircea_popescu: sadly fits in the box of "managed to produce >10mn hussies 16 years ago, none of which are sharp enough to pick up easy money here"
mircea_popescu: this ant theory doesn't stand ; they found the symmetries, much like arabs and french.
mircea_popescu: note that for all the "free money!!!" the usg doesn't get any GOOD SHIT. it just gets the plasticars that they don't really want or need anyway, but not http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-28#1845236 ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: well, maybe the cn dun wanna provide the same pressure, as a free service.
mircea_popescu: not really prior or hence.
mircea_popescu: if it ever worked that way, it was back in the 50s, when under pressure from soviet union free housing and moreover http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-04#1831653 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: economy means some trings, strictly. if it's not substitutable it's not economical.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, if you suspect it's an actual economic transaction, fill your own empty box with nothing, go see if it works.
mircea_popescu: well who the fuck knows. nobody understands chinese -- not even the speakers.
mircea_popescu: "borrow". chinese ppls give them freebies. what, i know a guy named shaun who has a girl who's not a whore who he lends money to now and again.
mircea_popescu: and so onnnnn.
mircea_popescu: we do this cyclical "i don't understand why figment of my imagination is something i imagine" "because you do" "but what sort of worship do i owe figment of my imagination ?" "none" "what about waking every morning at 5 and saying figment don't exist in a hoarse voice ?" "nope"
mircea_popescu: just saying, the value of showing negatives is very much jealous wife interest.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform specifically http://trilema.com/2011/jaful-si-economia/#selection-67.0-69.357
mircea_popescu: (if it's not worth 0 to you, you just got a fix of your value to the usg! that's how much zek tack you're carrying)
mircea_popescu: 10% of nothing is...
mircea_popescu: secret someone has something is worth the finder's fee, which is why it's called that. 10%.
mircea_popescu: 0.
mircea_popescu: moreover, whether it cost more in guarding than it was worth, since it's been a while ?
mircea_popescu: citizen means he who can lynch and annul court cases, not he who's just tryna make it.
mircea_popescu: kinda useless dweebs.
mircea_popescu: noncitizen soldiery. which is why all the "usarmy provided training and logistical support" etc.
mircea_popescu: which is how the 10k is arrived at,
mircea_popescu: and THIS is why : average zek can't, because average zek not person, inhuman, can't do anything like ghosts can't do anything.
mircea_popescu: can always make your own.
mircea_popescu: very adequate, imo.
mircea_popescu: zeks don't need gravestones.
mircea_popescu: and i don't mean no "sentimental" bullshit, either. casa quantu stai e tirrinu quantu viri.
mircea_popescu: but parents who leave behind no owned slice of the world don't deserve a grave, and merit to spend eternity in shameland.
mircea_popescu: hey, let them buy bitcoin, i don't care how they go about it.
mircea_popescu: in other shocking news today, pissing more effectual than wishing in all fields and applications!
mircea_popescu: "wish in your left hand and piss in your right ; stop when one fills up and check out to see which it was!"
mircea_popescu: !Q later tell hanbot http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/lQzIk/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: hey*. lol.
mircea_popescu: hay.
mircea_popescu: this fucking matters ; having shit parents makes one shittier than the alternative, and the fact that "There's nothing he can do about that" doesn't EXCUSE anything.
mircea_popescu: it's not fucking lottery. have better parents.
mircea_popescu: like the celebrated case of http://trilema.com/2018/the-principal-agent-problem-or-how-america-went-away/#selection-131.79-131.97
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i mean ~east~ coast only.
mircea_popescu: this is all long gone.
mircea_popescu: had a brief career in the us, but west coast only, and limited to post-gilded age dweebs only.
mircea_popescu: so no, the "wait for parents to die", traditional euro-french strategy of the "age of enlightenment" as it were, nevertheless long in the tooth.
mircea_popescu: maybe in the sense of, "currently solvent". but wealthy is not experimentally encountered.
mircea_popescu: i don't actually know any girls whose parents are cash-positive.
mircea_popescu: gotta keep up with the costs of the spanis-american war!
mircea_popescu: i'm sure the "not a tax" tax however DIDNT get fucking cancelled. much like the spanish-american war DID get cancelled, but the tax on phone introduced "for" it is still there.
mircea_popescu: straight from whorse's mouth : "i thought doctor visits were free on obamacare. it doesn't even do that ?" "affordable care act got cancelled"
mircea_popescu: that's long past. parents mostly rent. and then there's medicare.
mircea_popescu: and yes the trend is agravating, 2000s born set will certainly "owe" more than 1995-2000 set which in turn about 100% more than 1990-1995 set and so fucking following.
mircea_popescu: "oh, calculus isn't fgor everyone" "money -- also not for everyone. i'll take all yours now."
mircea_popescu: i have a good mind to start billing trump. "25 yo can't calculus"
mircea_popescu: mats 100% of my us-"educated" slaves are in default. and will fucking stay in default.
mircea_popescu: (chinese, reportedly still fucking horrible; but then again maybe in time, it's not so far from prepubescent girly olympi-perisexual displays, and they sure mastered that)
