thestringpuller: When did Pump and Dump become a viable business strategy? It's like 1990's albania up in here.
mircea_popescu: though it goes well with his complete disinterest in you know, a brothel. i suspect even if he had had a "hot sexy girlfriend", she wouldn't have necessarily known it. prolly more hand-in-handwalks
than handjobs on his menu.
mircea_popescu: yeah, very ridiculous
that he left, it seems
to me definite
they'd have paired him forcibly.
diana_coman: bet in morroco he would have had all
the caves
to "gather" in and saved
the shiny paint on
that bmw
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform , is georgy gapon
the first case of russian autoerotic asphyxiation ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ie, all
the bitchez go
to
the same
three dudes. FOR NO REASON
mircea_popescu: if you do
that,
they'll jsut gather in some cave / internet forum and bitch and whine about "hypergamy"
diana_coman: yes, it is common;
that still doesn't mean
that
they shouldn't be kicked
to deal with it
themselves; but clearly something
to be started way before he was 20,
there is
that
mircea_popescu: male shyness is actually quite common, in all mammal species, and also with womans. if i had a satoshi for every historical case where
the poor mother in law had
to stick her worthless son's penis into some girl by hand, i wouldn't even be poor.
diana_coman: uhm, by
the looks of it so
that she can have a shit for a kid
diana_coman: I'm still waiting
to get
to his view of how
they called
the police/why
mircea_popescu: but you know
this is how it worked, and still how it mostly works.
diana_coman: and he even directly says
that she should put out with whatever because ..him; and she just...refuses; nothing else; wtf
diana_coman: he begs his mother
to get married
to a rich guy
to ...save his (elliot's) life
mircea_popescu: the minor
tragedy of
this major
tragedy is
that he would really have been very happy with james.
☟︎ diana_coman: I suspect he would find *that*
too much
too
diana_coman: what change? he finds it
too much
to actually be in
this nasty "unfair" world, he wants someone
to make him a little bubble at least
to keep it all away
diana_coman: I don't
think it has
to do with changing him
mircea_popescu: mayhap only a woman would see
that in
there. i can't readily discern what part is in
the painting and what part is in
the natural "i'll change him" eye of
the beholderess.
diana_coman: he actually keeps saying he wants someone
to
take care of
things, of him etc
diana_coman: well,
that is what he would have answered if you asked him, certainly; but in practice it seems more like what
to do: get back with daddy, go
to
that college etc
mircea_popescu: i dun see
that. you mean, "what
to do" as in, how
to arrange
the curl on forehead so girls finally behave properly ?
diana_coman: he certainly wanted
the money (well, any money) but
to me he sounded more like he was in fact searching very much for someone
to finally
tell him what
to do
mircea_popescu: actually, by and large men are very much like fizz in soda. which is why
the practice of keeping reserves in military conflict. after
the first wave, fresh fighters can utterly wreak havoc on
the other side.
diana_coman: similarly one second he is supposedly
totally and absolutely disgusted with his father (ftr I don't know who wouldn't by
the sounds of it) and
the next second he makes friends again because... he has been asked
to by his nan
mircea_popescu: nah,
this is how undisciplined boy behaves. he has about
three seconds of bravery until norepinephrine is metabolised.
diana_coman: and for all his supposed knife, all he does is
to pour coffee or juice on people, I mean seriously
diana_coman: still,
there are in fact inconsistencies in elliot's narrative: one second he's fighting off
those boys in
the
truck (even with a knife!) and
the next second he flees because one (ONE) boy...shouted at him
mircea_popescu: and very right and proper of a historical aristocrat, at
that. like you know,
the charge of whatever brigade.
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
the guy with
the crate seems
to miss
the "but I was SO worthy, how did
the winning
ticket DARE
to choose someone else"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was
the man personally insulted when he didn't win ?
the crate isn't
the criteria here.
mircea_popescu: they
take money
that was
thrown at
them by idiot barbarians in foreign lands, and wisely expend it exactly
thusly.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you'll be pleased
to find no doubt
that
the enitre population of
that part of
the world spends all its
time doing exactly
this :
diana_coman: ftr what I find more mind boggling is
the degree
to which nobody around him actually has anything
to do really and I mean first his parents; at least from his account all
they do is
to
throw at him money above what he can in fact handle; in one view I could almost frame
this as poor kid got
thrown into a station so much above himself
that
the difference between what he *knows* he is worth (nothing) and what he has been forced
t mircea_popescu: he may be
the last case of an intellect genuinely baffled at
the process of lottery.
mircea_popescu: the process is evident
throughout, "lottery exists,
therefore it must have a winner. i am great,
therefore i must win it."
mircea_popescu: maybe. my interpretation is
that he
took a very strict view of my earlier stand in our dispute re corectness. it was simply not possible for any sort of result
to be obtained
through example.
mircea_popescu: more like "recognize", like
they were retina scanners
that ceased working.
diana_coman: ah,
there is
that indeed, he uses
to choose in a certain way
mircea_popescu: which explains
the complete disinterest in any sort of inductive approach (which is also how he didn't end up one of
those long
term abduction rapists)
mircea_popescu: note
that
they don't get agency, he still knows how
they ~should~ have chosen ; and
the objection is
they're malfunctioning in
their alloted destiny.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman not more
than
the idea of
the sword in
the stone breaks old monarchy.
diana_coman: hmm, doesn't it break
this view of his right at
the core when he expects
then items
to "choose" him?
mircea_popescu: (enormity also means "monstruous nonsense", for
the record. even if it's a secondary meaning forgotten on
the web.)
mircea_popescu: yeah, but
this leaves a pretty serious hole for
the rest of us, who you know, have pleasant relations with women and don't quite grok
this "not person" immensity.
mircea_popescu: suppose we run a simpler
tiered system : people with his killcount or more may speak against him. seems a pretty reasonable implementation of your "in
the arena, with retiarii" idea of adjudication. and he doesn't come out
too bruised from it, either.
mircea_popescu: well what sort of contest is
this, where you get
to decide
the goalposts.
mircea_popescu: so he says women are items ; and you say women are persons. how do you resolve
this dispute ? "obviously" ?
mircea_popescu: not
to mention
that impungning
those
terms is a much more difficult
task
than average vanilla derp intuits.
mircea_popescu: the beauty of
the guy's work is
that it is, in fact, quite reasonable in its own
terms.
mircea_popescu: ftr, if
this happened
to you for a decade straight you'd be pissed off
too.
mircea_popescu: his objection is
that for some reason
the
toilet in his bathroom keeps overflowing, while it seems
to work fine for everyone else.
mircea_popescu: to quote
that usg official, "what
the azn wants are loose shoes, cheap lattes and a
tight pussy
to shit in"

these dubious e!-like productions...
mircea_popescu: though
tbh, since
there's bluetooth, i'd do it with butt bullets.
BingoBoingo: "a crowd of pathetic fans who reminded me of sheep cheered from
the other side" << Aka hired from craigslist. Beats McDonalds where burgers actually are not flipped, but "cooked" on both sides at once.
BingoBoingo: The perfect post-pre-post modern leading
teenage girl played by a late something
mircea_popescu: and both groups are idiotic enough
to actually imagine
this relates
to power.
BingoBoingo: She's got an average face
that is disproportionately chubby compared
to
the rest of her body. Perfect synergy of girls in
the audience feel pretty and
teenage boys can still get off
to
the leaked n00dz
mircea_popescu: just looking
through
the publicists going
to
town with
this jennifer lawrence chick. she's... marginally not ugly. best
that can be said about her. dudes got her into fucking forbes, "most influential woman" etc blablabla. reheheheally ?
BingoBoingo: And
this is how an aristocracy comes
to necessarily be selected by GPG and IRC,
the new one was
too broken in its broken

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but anyway, with
this opportunistic opportunity i now found out one alexander ludwig exists.
mircea_popescu: sunt atitea meserii frumoase... si
trebuie-ncercate...
BingoBoingo: Just
think, if
the late an hero only would have followed
the path of other failed sk8er kids and went punk and heroin.
BingoBoingo: " I saw obnoxious slobs who dressed in basketball shorts and
T-shirts walking with hot girls. And
there I was, decked out in Armani, all by myself. It was preposterous!" << SHoulda dressed in carhart coveralls soaked in either mud or used oil
