mircea_popescu: i am starting to suspect civ was
a lot more influential than previously realised --
a whole generation of morons literally imagine "the nation of africa" was spawned forh by shaka the bahamas.
mircea_popescu: all through computer age subnormals derped about with plastics, as
a substitute (look baby! it's so colorful! almost like
a real computer!)
mircea_popescu: well, two! there's one that came from the jenissary music, as
a brass instrument (goaran) and there's one that came from the thessaly/macedonian pastoral tradition earlier, as
a wooden shepher's whistle (caval)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's me on the radio, like
a decade or so ago.
mircea_popescu: lettuce offer
a mn ECus to whoever of the rotaku club that produces the correct notation of that thing. hanbot diana_coman an' spyked are kindly asked to stay out of it!
mircea_popescu: haha. i suspect genetically engineered repeater bug
a ways off yet.
mircea_popescu: having / as
a magical character should be
a execution squad offence.
mircea_popescu: what sort of morons are these, who
a. pick
a FIXED magic character which then they make equal to b. THE MOST COMMON FUCKING PUNCTUATION IN THE UNIVERSE
mircea_popescu: in today's wonderment, why the FUCK is it i can say sed 's%x%y%g' or sed 's^p^q^g' but can NOT say awk '%
a%,%b%' ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i expect they get
a "pew pew pew!" audio attachment next.

a million hits anything these days ?! never has the quarry/bullet relationship been this tenuous.
mircea_popescu: "what happens when cinema warband encounters man who didn't take
A-team shooting class"
mircea_popescu: fellow who was ambushed by
a bunch of "hardened criminals", killed seven out of two revolvers and four more with his knife. the rest took to flight.
mircea_popescu: "I am not to be common, Kyle, ok? I am
a creature like no other. I know that. I am
a creature like no other. And I will not -- I willnot be common. "
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you know for
a fact pantsuited hilarity traded in children. the part where it was run from
a pizzeria in wash dc... well...
mircea_popescu: it'd seem self-evident that if
a buncha doods carrying an L etched on their forehead go banging their heads on
a chunk of concrete insistently enough in large enough groups, the L will eventually to some degree and under some lights transfer.
mircea_popescu: billing was this fellow who famously sued
a bunch of establishment faggots over his theory that faggot conspiracy is the cause of ww1 failure.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he said it is
a ~business~. it's not
a business. if tomorrow civilisation ends scavenging its remais will be
a large activity, but still not
a business. "business" means something!
mircea_popescu: well ? "don't attack enemy lest he attacks back" localized peace somehow sums up to
a war over the interval ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's terrible advice. "recovering data from damaged hard disks" is
a "business" in the sense "painting and decorating boobies" is
a business. nobody gets boobies anymore on account of bacterial diseases being exticnt.
mircea_popescu: if i were
a snail, i suppose i also would want to be paid for leaving slime trails.
mircea_popescu: kids that grow up like c.s.lewis, ie forsaken, end up with
a sorely overgrown notion of the importance of the self.
mircea_popescu: at
a time if you put the whole population in
a shaking machine you wouldn't have likely shaken
a million loose.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly enough, i knew
a chick like that ; she was going to get her big break in poetry IN CLUJ
diana_coman: this reminds of that time when they had
a "drama taster" at nursery and I asked him whether he liked it: "I liked it;
a bit; not as much as playing with the hammer!"
hanbot: lol diana_coman ! kiddo's expertly-annunciated "
a bit!" lives on in daily interjection here.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-08 14:34 mircea_popescu: the cab driver with
a leningrad doctorate, gone to new york to "this is america!" is almost endearing ; the iowa farm girl gone to new york to "i r become
a writer" is just...

☟︎ mircea_popescu: to
a large degree for the same fgucking reason, i suppose : that it only ever existed in the mind of
a very select few, who however didn't have the excuse of poverty, or of distance, or of so very many other things that protect the rusophone moron from the full brunt of his wilful stupidity.
mircea_popescu: vhs america might be ridoinculous enough, in its evanescent existence in the mind of
a very selected few (principally, sovblok immigrants) ; but "cultural marxism" america is holy shit hysterical.
mircea_popescu: it really should be watched side to side with
http://trilema.com/2015/very-bad-things/ (
a deeply religious piece about how whores aren't all thart cool and die for it whereas worthless "good" girlie's
a very unique being that every male gotta worship!!!)
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 18:05 mircea_popescu: aand in other items of entomological interest, the wikipedia take on politicized pseudo-literary criticism is something else. aphra behn is lionized, because they're ever-so-desperate to discover, invent or if need be entirely hallucinate "remarkable" cuntbearers of the shakespeare period that some random jailbird is
A HEROINE OF FEMINISM!!!
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 23:41 asciilifeform: one possible path could be to start with google's crapola 'depthcharge' booter src, but it won't build (tried) with standard tooling, and currently i haven't
a box where to put their horror show
rain2: you've spent
a lot of lines insulting me so if I may respond? you seem to have made totally false assumption about me. I just thought it was an interesting topic and that people would be interested here. I stopped talking about it when they said it was uninteresting. No need to paint me like some adversary.. I just wanted to talk to fun people.
BingoBoingo: lol, the no talking to stangers thing has been
a standard for at least
a couple years now
mircea_popescu: well, you never know, world's not exactly
a lab. but it seems to me the beating is at the core of it.
mircea_popescu: it wasn't
a "moral" or ethical concern that did it, either. it was sheer disinterest.
mircea_popescu: stage 2 : the french grasp that the end of feudalism is not "progress", but literal "the end", proceed to huge party called napoleon ; the brits copy them some half century later, except their idea of
a party is victorian england
diana_coman: I must say that I read lewis' narnia very late, mainly to see what the whole buzz was all about but it seemed
a very poor and sorry thing to me so I still don't know what is supposed to be amazing about it
mircea_popescu: "At Queen's College he had
a distinguished academic career, graduating (in July, 1868) with 1st class honours in English, History and Metaphysics."
diana_coman: that's what it sounded to me too although I'd have thought there was more than "they know stuff" to whatever reputation there might be there; then again, sorrying one's way out of answering
a question is the same pick and choose approach so not surprising
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i suppose we have
a "reputation" among the script kiddies ahem i mean "hackers" etcetera.
diana_coman: the name faintly sounded
a bell and he had actually been in here before but just like this time failed to have any real reason for having voice; anyways, it was still older habit at work, no longer appropriate
mircea_popescu: the implication of upping someone is that you've been personally training them, and they've been personally serving you, for some strech sufficient enough so that either
a) you can answer my questions about them to my satisfaction or else b) fail
a you judge your unrating them is sufficient undoing for their sins.
rain1: someone did
a trick where they put some text in the filename, kinda like how you get novelty bitcoin addresses. and i was wondering how to do it
rain1: I wanted to ask if anybody knew how twitter image filenames were derived from the file content. there's
a bit of info about the url structure but no explanation which hash algorithm is used
mircea_popescu imagines
a proportional armament, "swat teams" equipped with plastic reproductions of Pumhart von Steyr, very Brasil-like visual.
BingoBoingo: Construction site in question was on the Rambla so
a bunch of one way streets were direction reversed to great confusion
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> cheap negress & mulato whores dancing naked in the streets because why the hell not is one thing. but "organization" and pantsuitism-- never. << I have heard these places still exist in Brazil, but not from people who live there or who spend more than
a couple days at
a time.
BingoBoingo: They apparently have
a lot of blue/pink haired fattys now
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, Argentine peso is solidly worse than Uruguayo peso now and keeps diving. 60 pesos Argentinos to buy
a USD
mircea_popescu: well, my recipient for this stuff is well empty, and i suspect it takes
a while to refill.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:31 mircea_popescu: there's
a bit in the piece i am working right now which i'd like to reference ehre.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it seems to have replaced "rr" with "nn"? "innelevant" and "annives" , it gets arroying after
a while
Mocky: was shooting for half
a dozen trades, but got an introduction to local trader via meat wot and I mentioned the total I'm selling
