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 ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the inane shit occupying my time instead of republican efforts is embarrassingly trivial, but since you ask: i'm moving to texas, and so now must wrap fence that was supposed to be
a two-season relaxed affair by mid september; throw out
a decade+ of crap that i shouldn't have been so lax as to let stick around in the first place, pack my whole existence into transpocubes, get it moved to the

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)

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845577 << usg.mortgage is
a device for separating salaried zeks (engineers, law, etc) from their 'excess' fat. not for millenial pauper to borrow against... what, exactly. (maybe organs?)
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".
mod6: asciilifeform: plz to take
a look at hanbot's question in #p
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: 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"

a 45, but also (as seen when I finally passed him) had mirrors *taped* on, and not even with duck tape but with medical tape

☟︎ Mocky: tiny blue 'my little pony' car pulled into the spot next to me, damn these things are small. I've seen before, i suppose many times but this one even had
a gnome hop out and scurry off to the market.
BingoBoingo: Eh, if you go to live anywhere
a new language is spoken your accent can outrun acquiring finess in the language.
BingoBoingo: Hard to tell if that's
a very complete Chinese language though.
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: 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: well, maybe the cn dun wanna provide the same pressure, as
a free service.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-04 16:24 mircea_popescu: as far as uneducated, "hard" ustardian kids were concerned, the dilemma stood between stories of killing injuns and "building
a civilisation out of
a wilderness" by then two generations expired, or else ~kids just like them actually doing it~, driving motorcycles through the endless dusts of the middle earth and erecting oil pumping metropolises across the siberia.
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: 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: (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: moreover, whether it cost more in guarding than it was worth, since it's been
a while ?
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.
Mocky: well not like
a bunch of black dudes sayin 'wish my parents were white'... then some white kid would have been the son
mircea_popescu: had
a brief career in the us, but west coast only, and limited to post-gilded age dweebs only.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-29 17:49 Mocky: then they will promptly take out
a mortgage, lol
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.
Mocky: then they will promptly take out
a mortgage, lol
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i have
a good mind to start billing trump. "25 yo can't calculus"
mircea_popescu: folk are broken in the fucking head ; just look at current mad max remake :
a hot chick THAT IS NOT NAKED driving
A TRUCK.
mircea_popescu: so no, the "current" problems aren't current but fucking sturctural. always was
a conclave of cowards.
mircea_popescu: and since then, gimme
a break ? for one thing ro destroyed the entire nato force back 9in when was it, 2015 exercise. and for the other, soviets were always better ; and after
a brief gap ru is certainly supreme over the usg's rust buckets, since at least 2010s
mircea_popescu: anyway ; there was never actually
a time us pilots were remarkable. during the war raf dominated the east and by VERY far japan dominated the east (in fact, the "biologically unfit to fly" jap pilots were the best pilots of the war, hands down). even romania's royal air force had better pilots than fucking usaf, wtf. but anyway, it was mostly brits and germans.
mircea_popescu: but yes, if one's contemplating
a cartman career in somalia, coast guard works.
BingoBoingo: Doing an alt-history retrospective I am starting to think that if I would have enlisted... Coast Guard would have been the way to go. Practice useful skills like boarding ships, they do that all the time. When's the last time the Marines boarded
a shipp in anger?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This was back when college degree still was
a somewhat useful gatekeeper
mats: since E1-4 and O1-3 are time gated ‘you’re not
a fuckup here’s
a promotion’ ranks
BingoBoingo: It's ok, they got Tome Cruise to make
a sequel to Top Gun, never mind that is character would have hit the ceiling on career length and been forced out last decade
trinque: fortunately disappointing enough that I didn't end up stomping around the desert or flying drones for
a living
trinque: certainly. most obvious example was they'd hit ya, make you do pushups in mud, etc., but there was
a tacit "don't spoil things and cry to mother, who cries to superintendent"
trinque: it was all perverse, had two sergeants and
a colonel (retired) trying to make
a proper boys academy in
a public school
mircea_popescu: nah, you do what the washing machine does, by hand. your surfactant's prolly going to be
a grease.
mircea_popescu: warm enough lead to be workable is not such
a big deal, can hold i nhand with leather strap.
trinque: somebody oughta tell the kids next time there's
a priceless artifact of the old south to defend
trinque: jrotc drill team; we had
a particularly traditional sergeant, wasn't going to have any of that plastic gun pussy shit
mircea_popescu: by VOLUME, i don't mean by fucking mass, that'd be
a total blowout.
mircea_popescu has recently seen "the untouchables",
a typically idiotic nonsenseyarn (with pre-america ending prettyboy costner). sean connery gets it well and good, and then proceeds to scramble about, his lungs 50% lead.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless -- it also produced in excess of
a quarter bn base value of minerals for me!
mircea_popescu: it sometimes fails for me too, but i've not yet been able to get enough of
a fix on it to report something useful.
mircea_popescu: (ah, note also the greedily opening butthole. this happens, in girls that regularily take it up the ass, because sexuality, as
a subjective psychological construct, as well as sexual function, as
a matter of physiology, are both TRAINED BEHAVIOURS, and absolutely nothing else ; certainly not some kind of "path to truth" or "deeply genuine and unfalsifiable expression of the self" or any of that 1900s "reformist" protestant ov
mircea_popescu: vagina ain't the fucking vaginal opening. it's not
a hole anymore the colon's
a hole.
mats: ha,
a bent quartermaster
mod6: That's the thought, yeah. I think
a while ago ben_vulpes knocked the price down
a bit to make it more appleaing. ( ben_vulpes, plz to correct me if I'm wrong here ). And I didn't know that this had happened.
mod6: Thought you guys might like these. I'll throw up
a blog post with the specs and stuff if there is interest.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should have
a log histogram done and then create
a "unicode log keyboard". top 102 words get to go on the keys.
mircea_popescu: check it out asciilifeform ; he's working towards
a new kbd standard.
a111: Logged on 2015-05-13 06:10 mircea_popescu: cazalla hey, wanna make
a list of trilema articles that fit with 8chan ? and qntra idem.
mircea_popescu: and so, if upon seeing noob in #trilema person thinks "hey, this might've been someone interested in #pizarro", what person is really thinking is "shit, we're doing
a terrible job of communicating #pizarro". because in any other case, they should've known ~already~ whether wanderer is or isn't interested.
mircea_popescu: management in the end very much like medicine : if person leaks from the belly upon taking
a drink of water, odds are person's belly got an extra hole. if urine is sweet were should be salty, odds are too much sweets somewhere. etcetera.
mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more than
a bunch of these from logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro !
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-28 12:32 Mocky: I read an article about eulora being
a bitcoin mmo. I'm wondering if it's actually
a thing.
mircea_popescu: that's all i'm saying, not that pizarro's no good or anything in the vein, but that the flow flows like it flows. republic mgiht pick some people from pizarro rooster for enoblement, not pizarro might pick some people from lordship for making
a sale.
mircea_popescu: sure, in principle. but different doors, the set of considerations for "can be in #trilema" can't possibly include "pizarro might want to sell him something". it's like proposing people wandering into the white house shouldn't be kicked out because what if obama wants to give them
a shoeshine ?
mod6: I gotta do
a few things here, but I'll be back to sort the rest of the pricing fiasco out.
mod6: aside from that there is
a on-going debate about the pricing for the service.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-16 19:09 mircea_popescu: 3. darwin fish spent
a decade, up until macarthur was ~50, in that church (after some other wrangling, mormons, whatever). then suddenly, as he himself reached 30, there was
a major "time for my own church" moment. except, of course, nobody gave HIM the bn-dollar moneymaker. any they even told him why : he's way the fuck too cool for it, or as joe pesci put it, "that was the last fucking time...."
mircea_popescu: when phuctor came about, we spent
a short while with the whole "oh, whoever wants can put in his key" and
a comparatively much longer whole with the "will get all keys in existence not asking anyone anything". this is an important lesson, and it is 20-fucking-14 or some shit.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-15 15:05 mircea_popescu: but you will have hell on wheel in your hands trying to get more money as
a palliative solution to "i don't feel like building sales today".
