diana_coman: well, giggles make perfect sense;
that's what kid does when confronted with never-heard-of stuff
that is however not entirely (though closely) incomprehensible
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, apparently. cuz
the menu is like
the limit of existence now or something,
the "company policy". wanna queue for cabs ?
diana_coman: o.O you can't order
things not on
the menu??
mircea_popescu: and
then i say "yes, but i'm rich, i don't care what you
think of anything" and she giggles. and "you can't order
things not on
the menu" and "don't you need a
ticket ?" and "you have
to stay here,
there's nowhere else" and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: from under
the well worn
tshirt, washed more
times
than i dipped my cock in woman, from under
the "cut up" jeans
to mask
the wear and
tear, from inside
the
tentsheet shoes only
the poorest of
the poro kids wore during
the LEAN communist years, holding
the smashed smartphone ("where did you drop
that ?" "which
time ?"),
they sprout forth
the
tenents of
the idiocy
that fucked
them.
diana_coman: esp
the no-cash part is really hard *not*
to notice since every goddamned shopkeeper/waiter/whatever forever shoves
that machine in but poverty is effectively built on purposeful "short-term memory" anyway
mircea_popescu: and for
this obvious sadness,
they still go about pretending about "rights" and "no
truth exists" and whatnot
tenets of
the idiocy
that got
them
there, slaves on
the continent
their forefathers fought etc.
mircea_popescu: the average girly
that a) looks like anything you'd fuck and b) isn't already outright working
the streets has never in her life had in her hand, as discretionary funds,
the cost of a decent meal.
this is europe, EXACTLY like africa. minus
the infrastructure,
they're exactly
the same place. exactly
the same people anyway.
mircea_popescu: that's
the funny
thing. for all
the pretense,
they are ALREADY
the rats living among
the ruins of a "distopian future". what fucking distopian ? in
the rare cases i'm not
the only one in
the restaurant, i'm
the only one who can afford
to pay
the bill. everyone else's
there with mechanised ious and mommy allowances etc.
diana_coman: ah,
there is no possible competition no,
the infinite points and all
that (and in
this case just moving on
to next idiocy
that pays well); at most attrition I had in mind
mircea_popescu: to be honest, i also much prefer
the killing of idiots over
their redemption. i'd much rather built a machine gun nest in a village
than a school.
mircea_popescu: dumbest
thing in
the world, entering into paywell-ing competitions with idiots.
mircea_popescu: it'll continue
to "pay" forever. back when
the brits were machine gunning
the zulu "warriors", zulu warrioridiocy was also "paying
too well"
diana_coman: idiocy pays apparently way
too well atm for anyone
to want
to drop it
mircea_popescu: so as
to actually do something with
themselves, as opposed
to continuing with idiocy ad idem.
mircea_popescu: the idea was
that all
the idle fuckwits making up some portion of
the 10 billion bipedal cows befouling god's green earth for no purpose and
to no benefit will drop
their idiotic ways and present
themselves for service.
diana_coman: hm, did qntra ever
try specifically
to get new writers (and I do mean from outside #trilema really)? or was
the idea
that some will emerge out of
the readers? for
that matter I have no idea if/how much is qntra read outside here.
mircea_popescu: in other unexpected sideways minutia, i'm drinking from
this bottle of... jurajska. woda z glebi jury. jurov want a picture ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, would you say
the share system of compensation is rather a help or rather a hindrance in acquiring new writers for
the qntra ?
☟︎ diana_coman: not
that I know of/aware of so it seems you are right and it *should* work in here
too
mircea_popescu: the many blessings of
travel, you get
to debug a random pile of strange every short
time interval with arbitrarily limited
toolsets. and people enjoy
this! people who don't even get
to play with
the bodies of
the local choicer bits. incomprehensible.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker,
this
terminal is eating
the final portion of my lines, when
they break in
two parts.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-22 15:31 mircea_popescu: jurov is smart kid, gotta have some ankle weights of stupid and loud noises in inner ear lest he doesn't fit in with
the idiots he originally originated with anymore.
mircea_popescu: there's
two ways
to organize human activity : either you sit and
think about right and wrong, or else you pick
the next-easiest
thing.
the former produces
the republic,
the latter produces
the empire, with its sorted "market" of "bids" of easiness.
these flow NECESSARILY from
that choice.
that's all,
the economic underpinning of
the divide is simply and wholly
there.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how
to get
this point across moreso
than
this, and
the previous installment, and
the ones before
that. but somehow it's gotta be gotten across, because apparently it's
the one place everything hangs from.
a111: Logged on 2015-08-21 23:21 mircea_popescu: "Welcome, kiddo,
to how
the real world works. You go ahead and place your crazy protest bids way off in
the bottom of
the sociological order book and scream
that someday, SOMEDAY,
the market will come down
to meet you, and you will be vindicated.
mircea_popescu: you realise, do you,
that
thing exists EXACTLY as ~teh default lifeflow for minds incapable of examining
their lifeflow~.
that's what it fucking IS,
that is
the definition, "the empire is what happens
to cattle, incapable of reflection".
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 17:54 lobbes: I've been doing some hard
thinking lately, about what I want in life, and about how I'm way
too content with my current living situation in
the reich.
The problem is
that man can indeed be content ~anywhere. Nevertheless, I find myself being sucked closer and closer
to
the intake of
the mass chumpatron. My
time, my money, my sanity, slowly but surely slipping away with each day
a111: Logged on 2019-07-01 00:30 lobbes: mainly, Ima
try
the weekly "this is what I want
to accomplish
this week" reports
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-01#1921150 << even if you do
them monthly, or quarterly, or whatever works well for you,
they're just as good.
the sticking point isn't
that omg, gotta be every half hour.
the sticking point's
that you, you first and foremost, WANT
the fucking written record so you can reason about your own history meaningfully. rather
than
treat it as an inestimable, unevaluable and otherwordly gift from

BingoBoingo: In still other election lulz,
television crew is
tailing
the now National Party Presidential Candidate Luis Lacalle Pou and his entourage's
Toyata Hilux on its way from
the campaign's "bunker"
to
the party's "casa central"
lobbes: mainly, Ima
try
the weekly "this is what I want

☟︎ lobbes: speaking of, I will have a blog post out
tonight addressing my own communication problems
lobbes: though, I no longer see
this as such;
this is (as diana_coman, Bingo_Boingo point out) a communications problem

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-17#1784318 << ah damn, sir. Why are you playing with knives here. It was obvious a long
time ago
that mircea_popescu just wanted you
to submit. You can't block
the king from intervening in lordly affairs in his own kingdom.
BingoBoingo to
take an overdue walk now
that
the wind is properly biting and "ballots" (fliers printed by
the candidates) are being counted.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 20:10 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm all for constructive actions. but if
the script calls 'beg for mercy'
then it's
through, asciilifeform is not into s&m and is grown man rather
than pet chix, will not beg anyone for anyffin.
mircea_popescu: now can we be done
taxiing in a circle and start
taking off already.

the outlined mips + irons plan. if mp goes home, however, and cancels his irons, even slimmer.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 19:46 BingoBoingo: I brought up
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921054 because it epitmoizes
the Republican communication problem where despite ample examples, keeping everything "sooper
top seekrit" until its absolutely "done" is
the most losing strategy.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921064 << Let us
try
to fix
this part.
This is
the opening
to get your hours and boners back from Microshit. I find
the saltmining forever assumption
troubling. Digging for
the manticore reference yesterday I got struck pretty hard with
the melancholoy counting
the years.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921072 << you know ?
that chick was manticoring back before ~most everyone ever bitcoined, and exactly zero rubbed off. instead we're having "how dumb is hanbot!!!" festivals, because god forbid learn something from
the one woman
that knows shit none of us do. how about instead be so impressed with
this one weird
trick!
☝︎ mircea_popescu: we're watching
tv, in
the sense i'm
to sit here and nod my head while he does
the voices and jumps up and down
through
the livingroom.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921070 << ever been on a date with one of
those weird fucks who want
to drive you
there, cook
the meal, feed it
to you while holding
the glass and
then perhaps even fuck you (while you're passed out, preferably, so
they get
to move your legs and maybe even your lips for you with
their own hand) ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: god fucking forbid you look at
the damned
things in
the face, you might die or something.
mircea_popescu: you're all sitting on
the exact same piles of self-righteousness,
too, it's something beyond parody. one dude's got
the "suave exclusive" pile of veblens and is snickering at you other
two, while
the other dude's got his "truly
truthful" pile o' divines an' is snickering a
tyou other
two, and you've got your single-path-impredictable-and-unreviewable
theorems and snickering at
them
two. cuz nobody really understands
the real
mircea_popescu: there's exactly no difference, you understand
this, between an overgrown child who's
tying polished stones
to his wrist/ankle/whatever, an overgrown child who's spending all his
time in bound fascination over his own erections, and an overgrown child who simply can not fucking organize, predict and review his own activity.,
mircea_popescu: this being
the fundamental point here : if you're gonna stay
the same, no need
to even wait for me
to rate whatever. just fucking walk away.
the point of republican life is meaningful change, not herpderp, my own insanity is so much better
than pete_d's or whoevers, notwithstanding
they're both made of exactly same infantile substance.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 18:30 asciilifeform: i gotta go and do a meat chore for 2h or so. if mircea_popescu et al have specific q for asciilifeform , will answer when come back. if mircea_popescu says 'instead do x', i'ma see if i have with what. else would prefer
to skip
the 2017 ' mircea_popescu plays with his food ' and
take
the -10 sooner rather
than later-and-wasted-errybodys-time .
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921068 << it's
the same
thing as
two years ago, and i fear
two years from now
too : 1. write "i am going
to X" ;
then either 2a. do x or else 2b-1. explain why you didn't do x AND 2b-2 explain what you're going
to do differently, ie, CHANGE, about yourself, so as not
to be in
the b branch again ; and
then later 3. review how well 2b-2 has been working out for you and CHANGE SOME MORE.
☝︎ BingoBoingo: We've had
tremendous buildout of
tools, and
that needs
to continue. At some point we gotta use
the
tools.
BingoBoingo: At some point
the ratio of conversations about "grandfather's pistols"
to "our missile batteries" is going
to have
to improve.
BingoBoingo: Or we can
try
to get you acting in a way
that'll give you some legs
BingoBoingo: Which makes
the fishing all
the more important.
BingoBoingo: Appears
to be exactly
the sort of bright crackpottery
that might hook "thinking man" out in
the wild.
BingoBoingo: Well, if you sketch it out in
the blog it'll be easier
to ask strangers if
they want it.
BingoBoingo: It's a
thing
to shove in people's faces. Do you want
this, Y/n?
BingoBoingo: Do you
think you can
take an hour
this upcoming week
to publish an outline of
the MIPS
thing and where you see it going on your blog?
BingoBoingo: Well, lets
try
to make Pizarro
the
thing
that gets you out.
BingoBoingo: The evidence is mounting
that any amount of salt mine is
too much, gotta make
the aim getting out.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, break even may seem far away, but it is pointedly not
the end. Break alf out of saltmines at some point needs
to be on
the
table.
BingoBoingo: Script pointedly does not call for mercy begging. Calls for you drawing some
tea,
taking a walk, and reflecting on how
to maximize
the return on your
time outside
the saltmines.
BingoBoingo: There's one way
to keep mircea_popescu from going home and
that is action. Blades spin, clock
ticks, can't walk backwards in
time, etc... gotta start acting.
