mircea_popescu: it all depends whether you're waspivorous or shitflyvorous
mircea_popescu: i can see the point anyway. the wasps are a compliment to the grapes and the flies to the dead donkey.
mircea_popescu: the balls are a complement to your cock ; the wow's you hear are compliments to your cock.
mircea_popescu: adlai meets girl at party. she drags him to upstairs bedroom. they go at it. after a while, she's "adlai, this fucking sucks!" and he retorts calmly
mircea_popescu: it produced ~400 clicks in 24 hours. which i imagine it's about 100% of everyone that set eyes on it.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : because somethingawful forums keeps driving people to trilema, i started a banner campaign there.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: he's still here, paybase/hashnest logo everywhere, giving out free polo shirts at their booth, kickoff party had a giant paybase logo on the side of the hotel << because "advertisin fixes everything" "we're creating awareness".
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski of course, they might not like you anymore.
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: TomServo: care to play monopoly? we can use our own boards and everyone gets to be the car << i always play the hat!
mircea_popescu: kinda why it's the job of parents to send the popular girl to live naked with the pigs for a summer , and respectively force the acne boy to dance naked in gay bars the same summer.
mircea_popescu: there's this ancient observation that bright young lads do not "choose their field of research", they merely go with the first direction where they happen to have some success.
mircea_popescu: too many people dislike them, so they'd never make it.
mircea_popescu: actually i guess it's mostly "pr" now. same deal, "you need css for your website, you need tanga slips for your barbie"
mircea_popescu: which is why teenaged girls with little sex experience but nice tits and barbiedoll face tend to go into "fashion design", whereas fat dudes with an acne problem tend to flock to busienss school.
mircea_popescu: all it takes there is one. one jobs for everyone from samsung to chinaxxx to make ipads
mircea_popescu: in hierarchical situations, once ford decides to order his lieutenant to mine a hill because he sees rust on it,
mircea_popescu: note obviously that all this applies to flat, ie, non hierarchical situations, like what to wear.
mircea_popescu: 15 boys like this. if 9 girls hate it, it'll become a "civil rights" issue, but happen anyway.
mircea_popescu: consider how it works. take an island of 100 people, of which 5 boys and 6 girls under 30, 10 boys and 11 girls under 40. now, one day the fashion is for girls to wear clothes with a hole over left nipple, so it's always exposed.
mircea_popescu: right, but the headcount that'll NEVER wear them is large enough
mircea_popescu: which is why the notion that social discussion is argument driven is just so much rubbish. which is why conde nast wants reddit and the new york times moved to publishing pics and tweets.
mircea_popescu: if the fashion looks like it doesn't have the steam, backlash prevails.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't understand how social works work. so : if anyone can get one, it's ok. if it becomes apparent not everyone will have one, it's not.
mircea_popescu: i guess once bitcoin fails i'll run a slavegirl harem / art collective.
mircea_popescu: shoot a bullet hole through mirror, take your pic, title the result "glasshole through looking glass with hole"
mircea_popescu: you could prolly also say hi in #eulora (s.mg's mmorp in development irc room)
mircea_popescu: Zarathul: I'm developing a lightweight MMORPG with crypto economy. and I'm looking for some feedback and alpha testers << ever heard of s.mg ? also, iirc DreadKnight is doing something similar.
mircea_popescu: *: Adlai actually got to use it once, since it's useless for selfies, which the glasshole required << all you need's a mirror neh ?
mircea_popescu: to use the "on terrorism" apparatus, obviously a state can try to support itself on both process of law and terrorism. some, like stalin's , actually succeeded. it's dubious one can succeed without a stalin to o it tho. i dun see bureaucrats were ever born able to pull it off.
mircea_popescu: and if you recall, i'm actually against "free drugs". but that doesn't change they don't have much of a logical standpoint.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it is the government that lives in their house, not vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: sgornick tbh, it's kind of how it goes, that various social media heads put up on whatever social media thing bits and pieces of what they've read in year-old logs here.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony there's a lot of challenges to the quaint notions of what the state has the authority to do to be brought through deploying the much more widely avaialble powers of math. situation somewhat similar to, while currently a government may claim for itself the right to legislate as to the albedo of undiscovered stars, once they're discovered that's gone.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: so basically when breaking the law, just claim that it's "art" << you will notice that they merely bought random items. this illustrates the solid point that the notion that buying items can be made illegal implies buying itself was made illegal, through this randomness device.
mircea_popescu: “On the morning of January 12, the day after the three-month exhibition was closed, the public prosecutor's office of St. Gallen seized and sealed our work. It seems, the purpose of the confiscation is to impede an endangerment of third parties through the drugs exhibited by destroying them. This is what we know at present. We believe that the confiscation is an unjustified intervention into freedom of art.”
mircea_popescu: ms has not become a different beast. what used to be foss has decayed to the level one can't distinguish it from microsoft anymore.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: microsoft_moves_major_projects_to_github/ << heh. github as-is is actually precisely fit for microsoft.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: what are you running, windows on ferrari? << bwahahaha these two. should be cuffed together, endrunkened to 115% and dropped on a sound stage.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: "not until you've murdered your romans and finished your greens, benny" << hahahaha
mircea_popescu: (women that spent their adolescent years being fucked with their backs on the same car = bonnet sisters)
mircea_popescu: and they both get killed. one tries to live off it tho. the other's just dumb.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes sure. one's mentally retarded. the other's nefarious.
mircea_popescu: also all that talk about unsheating your own conscience / not constructing your mental process as a reaction to bs / etc.
