asciilifeform: dun seem like he was dragged, hog-tied, to usa tho.
mircea_popescu: lol nice story though, guy worth 1/4bn is going to bother with 15k piddly us dollahs. this is almost as good as "we found a street hooker who's willing to swear she was a hotel maid and the european central bank prresident did vague things to her. honest!"
mircea_popescu: doesn't seem like the uk is declaring anything but "i'll hold her for you"
mircea_popescu: recall the days the british navy pressed rando usians into 10 year ship washing terms ?
mircea_popescu: re danielpbarron 's thing : yes, the texts do not support the reading of leviathan as demon. it is beast ; a sort of cow, or hippo or what have you.
pete_dushenski: kim was harped on for being hairy ? this is nooz to me. i thought she just got sassed for being, as chappelle would say, a nigger-lover.
mircea_popescu: image is everything ; substance dun count in this discussion.
pete_dushenski: jlo's sorta sandy-haired, shakira hit the bleach bottle
mircea_popescu: (to go quite into the depths of this : /me has always suspected all the "upsetting" stories about how hairy kim is were i nfact strategic plants from her media strategist. to make her acceptable, for being ~jewish)
mircea_popescu: very much like the obama trick, actually.
mircea_popescu: so that cvasi-jew may one day be accepted queen in their stead
mircea_popescu: blondies ? dun think so.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 13:38 mircea_popescu: phf and this because kim totally fucking won the assculture war.
mircea_popescu: oh danielpbarron doth not approve of thiel heresies ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: tlp obviously went after this aspirational angle, even if he tripped over the patek philippe price points, as per http://www.contravex.com/2015/11/10/the-danger-of-unchecked-assumptions-or-the-surprising-depths-of-inequality/
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Maybe if they didn't want oppressed they would have kept the Ras Tafari Haille Sellaise alive?
mircea_popescu: the switch from representational to aspirational advertising is quite the direct reflection of the turning point.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 20:29 asciilifeform: even the ads. in particular, the ads.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Nah, I just caught that downthread you were talking about dudes.
mircea_popescu: kinda why the clinton ticket is such nonsense to anyone not-a-pleb. the one thing obvious is things can't continue - how to let steam out, where etc are debatable, but her utterly mccain-ish notion of "all is well" smacks of such senile delusion as can scarcely be put into words.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 20:06 asciilifeform: trinque: i know this. but am interested presently in where it interfaces with physical reality.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519893 << other than cunt already mentioned, "criminal behaviour", ie, male systematic intolerance. hence all the "terrorists" etc. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: that was in the pool
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> asciilifeform: there's no one better than chinese gymnasts atm. just watch the olympics.<< I thought black american hobbits were winning?
mircea_popescu: possibly the largest case of wastage in the history of humanity.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 20:11 trinque: I wonder if it's truly that the USA was *that* wealthy that it had this far to fall, that there is not yet starvation.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519897 << yes, the us was inconceivably wealthy. i nthat 1985-1990 half decade / 5yrplan it could have literally convinced the globe to do anything. this is ultimate wealth. sadly they decided to use that capital to convince the globe "saddam had nuclear weapons" and "green energy/blabla ecolotardisms and assorted danquayleisms" instead. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: maybe next pass you know, come 2019 or w/e, when i gotta move it from 0.02 to 0.001 or w/e
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo seems kinda marginal tbh.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 20:06 trinque: so really the interest rate diddles the margins of how fast the flood of money occurs
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519892 << nah, the central bank interest rate is the loss of the circuit. like, what s.mg takes out of eulora would be it. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I was tempted to write about the falling value of tits.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Well with some rewording that it failed you can self republish
shinohai: Even scammers are starting to recycle scams, like PayCon.
mircea_popescu: kinda how this goes yeah
shinohai: Yeah, kinda weird. I started two submissions, then realized how dumb they sounded and canned 'em.
shinohai: I haven't found *a single thing* to qntra this week
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: That thing your submission discusses was already withdrawn. Otherwise it would have been in the News Roundup Xtend
mircea_popescu: as per the quote, "sfondami tutta! prendi mia figlia! te la faccio sverginare!"
mircea_popescu: by and large if you wanted to start a cunt you pretty much had to have her mother spread her out for you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh, egypt all teh time.
mircea_popescu: girl that age would rather be caught sucking off pigs than sharing an intimate moment with her mother.
mircea_popescu: i don't think i've ever seen this in romania. or for that matter the states.
asciilifeform: when idiocy ray is turned off, people tend to go back to some approximation of sanity.
mircea_popescu: you should see this fucking place - 19yos going around WITH THEIR MOTHERS
asciilifeform: well as per start of this subthread, nobody needs the ad, they just need the psychotronic weapon that makes them spread for idiots, removed.
asciilifeform: Just Say No to tolerasty, kiddlez.
asciilifeform: (do engl.-speaking folks even KNOW about tolerasty? well, they do now!)
asciilifeform: at any rate 'tolerasts' ~ALWAYS~ get their arse handed to them.
mircea_popescu: which sunk the arabs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, and spain IS because at some point the extremadura hos were putting out ~for the arabs~
mircea_popescu: and then they got owned by the dutch. the DUTCH of all people!
asciilifeform: eh, there was spain.
mircea_popescu: history of england is quite interesting under this aspect.
mircea_popescu: hence the whole protestantism thing. it delivered - they wiped the catholic tolerants.
mircea_popescu: ukr chicks put out, ukr is the lol of all orcs, even the muscovi losers.
asciilifeform: used to be the swede - went.
mircea_popescu: bitchez dun put out, beta male goes to get pomodori, spices and whatnot, maybe it gets her hot ; or otherwise arab boi goes to fucking sweden, where it's cold and it sucks, to rape the swede horsewomen.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to midi, sicily, holy roman empire etc.
mircea_popescu: the nonsensical myth of the "pure" knight is specific of what, england, northern france/belgium/luxemburg, and northern italy.
mircea_popescu: which is precisely why, widely speaking, economic progress happened in the west, with the sandyvagina'd women that didn't marry and didn't have kids, rather than i nthe east, or in china, with the loving and tolerant she-rabbits.
mircea_popescu: cunt is a major transaction medium, in point of fact ; seeing how sexual competition is the driver of economic move.
asciilifeform: 'make luser attractive deal to stupid female'
asciilifeform: we have same thing here in north argentina, it is produced via other means ('401k' gargle, etc) but otherwise similar.
mircea_popescu: thatg's what that's all about.
mircea_popescu: because they need so much and it's not naturally occuring - hasta be produced. hence all the luchamos gargle.
mircea_popescu: that's the thing - female patience with ar loser IS fucking scarce
asciilifeform: ah in that sense.
mircea_popescu: the moment they have sexual competition the whole thing comes apart.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what scarce resource would it exhaust in ar to have working clubs ? molybdenum ?
pete_dushenski: japanese men were close last time, but iirc chinese still took gold.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: there's no one better than chinese gymnasts atm. just watch the olympics.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 19:58 asciilifeform: i am quite interested in the mechanisms whereby 1) goldmansachs usd are prevented from transmuting into turkey usd 2) plebes wielding turkey usd are restrained from putting unendurable pressure on supplies of limited resources, of the sort which lead to shortages and visible collapse.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519869 << the latter part you can see in my doomed efforts to get to a fucking club in buenos aires. exact same fucking mechanisms. ☝︎
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it will be fascinating to watch the gymnastics of chinese shills answerable to 'no one' on official paper, but to handlers in actual flesh, doing their 'independent' thing.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 19:46 asciilifeform: but it is not clear, at least to me, that debased currency is a ~cause~ rather than ~symptom~ of cultural decay.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519864 << i don't think it was ever contemplated in these here logs as anything but symptom. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: vancouver is a prime example of this macro manoeuvre. recently announced 15% tax on foreign (read: chinese) buyers to boot.
mircea_popescu: kinda the nature of ideal social systems : they force this sort of mistake.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if you start on one end you're stuck starting on the other too.
asciilifeform: aha, quite the klein bottle here.
asciilifeform: (because they already own usa)
mircea_popescu: yeah well, nobody said you can build escherian trestlework.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: their pile of zeros elongates at least as quickly as the price tag's
mircea_popescu: after the very sad experinece of japanese re speculation in new york, this is a reasonable manoeuver, macro speakling.
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: wd on the latest blog post. made me realise i missed the last couple too!
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 19:27 asciilifeform: which in practical terms simply means that now plebe has to indenture himself for 50, not 20, years, when 'buying' his cardboard boxhouse
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519848 << mno, you're missing the chief significance : in practice it means "todos juntos defendiendo la soberania", ie, chinese have to pay more to buy it. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: sort of what i gathered from the logs during bbet auction day. cheers.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski a guy by that name was active back in 2011-2012 ; he made some corrections to mpex faq verbiage ; we've not kept in touch hence nor have i heard anything of him for a few years.
pete_dushenski: sort of like valet taking ferrari to pick up gf while hustler is in the 'sino
pete_dushenski: i recall the thread. it was persuasive as to the difficulty of the cut. in the end, 'scammer' is probably an accurate tag for bitbet's new owner.
asciilifeform: whether znort wants you to find out, or not.
asciilifeform: incidentally, pete_dushenski , it may well be physically possible to determine if bbet deposits went to shitfinex.
asciilifeform: CHOOSE to.
asciilifeform: IF it was a close friend, who stiffed you, you MAY choose to write off the debt, forgive him.
asciilifeform: iirc we already had nearly this thread. no constructive cut can ever be made between an accidental and deliberate betrayal of trust.
asciilifeform: well when pete_dushenski is done being curious and puts in the bullet, i'll sit and listen.
asciilifeform: 'did the rape? do the ape.' otherwise exercise in excuse-crafting.
asciilifeform: 'i put escrowed coin up my arse and then went to visit white house, where anal computer was confiscated and emptied' == scamming.
