mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it can't become oakland, because these are whiny white nerds.
mircea_popescu: the homeostasis is otherwise build out of circulating materials that get endlessly recyucled.

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller> it's not a true reputation system just and aggregator << actually, it's a repackaging of an ancient idea in the words du jour. tucker max also made a "itsuptoyou" website that was essentially... yet another (meanwhile failed) blog.
mircea_popescu: <PeterL> not saying I trust them, but the idea has merit << the idea has merit in your eyes on the unwarranted assumption that it is being implementred by people in the wot.
mircea_popescu: not in any sense comparable.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> no css << to quote myself, you're thinking actual dollars, someone saved. these however are not that, they're fictitious dollars yellen printed.

Standard procedure. Tillotson knew what wa
mircea_popescu: video included.
mircea_popescu: For “resisting arrest,” even though her response to being threatened with arrest was “please do,” followed by immediate submission. If “please do” has become the new standard for resisting, we can set the Doomsday clock to 1 minute to 1984."
