mircea_popescu: i would propose that the surgeon drawing a distinction between toe gangrene and finger gangrene is a dubious surgeon indeed.
asciilifeform: but in practice, they are not interchangeable.
asciilifeform: my fingers are in that sense same as my toes
a111: Logged on 2016-07-07 18:09 mircea_popescu: here's something for the historian in alf! there's ancient statement of the principle, recorded in 1970 milwaukee journal : "You make yourself ridiculous by thinking you can do anything. The word is divided in two. The Russians and the Americans, no one else. What are we? Americans. Behind me there is the government, behind the government is NATO, behind NATO is the US. You can't fight us, we are Americans."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-07#1498863 << they all live atop the same printing press, yes ? what difference ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: turns out there's an island right in heart of mordor ?
mircea_popescu: how does this work, i thought nothing was indepenent ?
asciilifeform: just that it is not a reliable part of the octopus. and is being brought into line.
mircea_popescu: well you know, your hand and your skull are quite different items in 1001 ways, but the argument "the bad hand hit you" might at most convince a pitbull

asciilifeform: i'll wear the shoe from the swift thread, though, sure.
mircea_popescu: splitting is common in adolescents, and supposedly healthy to a degree.
asciilifeform: where's the alternation ?
mircea_popescu: in the most typical case, the teenager's mother is PERFECT ALL GOOD, when she satisfies whatever impulse currently holds the attention of the kid ; and EVIL ALL BAD when she frustrates idem
mircea_popescu: splitting is a term from psychology, denoting a tendency (seen mostly in borderline cases, but a variant is central to narcissists of both types also) to resolve contrasts through alternating pure views.
asciilifeform: local cops - yes. because they are in the way.
mircea_popescu: but i will say this "hey, getting beaten into a pulp WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG" only goes so far
asciilifeform: 'The GRU's tactics toward terrorists are simple: never give them any orders, never tell them what to do. They are destroying Western civilisation: they know how to do it, the argument goes, so let them get on with it unfettered by petty supervision. Among them there are idealists ready to die for their own ideas. So let them die for them. The most important thing is to preserve their illusion that they are completely free and indepen
mircea_popescu: too vague to bother digging for it though
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall vaguely some debates cca 2013, prior to the gendarmerie fallback, with me saying the us police is going to get butchered and you saying wake me up when.

"Today I will give myself the space to grieve for Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and every other black person that has been executed and all those that will be executed by the police, until we finally say enough is enough and put an end to the terrorism that we call modern day policing," '
asciilifeform: 'Calling in black is essentially an excuse for a day of self care, wrote Slack engineer Erica Baker in a Medium post called "Processing." The move comes in the wake of the murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, two black men who died at the hands of police officers just this week. Their deaths aren't anomalies by any stretch: Eric Garner, Freddie Gray and Tamir Rice are just a few of the names that have made headlines in the
phf: "the victim proceeded to repeatedly trip and fall on knife 37 times"
asciilifeform: 'Officers said Murdock banged his own head against the metal cage inside the police car. '
asciilifeform: 'The autopsy records also note his body was covered in bruises -- on his chest, abdomen, back, arms and legs.' << much suicide. surprised that no nailgun holes.
phf: asciilifeform: lobste.rs uses iching symbols for some unknown internal reasons which i don't have inclination of investigating. somewhere on par with calling a currency "etherium" and a corporation "dao". way to corner those timeless symbols gaiz
mircea_popescu: ~all mentioned titles are worth watching, i'd say.
phf: su prison system managed to preserve and cook up a special kind of culture
phf: they don't have enough bratki for that

phf: american movies don't do geniuses very well, unless it's "odd" characters, like the aviator
asciilifeform: some language made up on the spot
mircea_popescu: they should stick to forrest gump ; touchy feely nobody on a stick works better.
mircea_popescu: that thing was offensive
asciilifeform: or try another american film, 'beautiful mind', about crazy mathematician john nash
mircea_popescu: but yes, as a narrative it barely holds together in a thousand places. still, ahead of class.
asciilifeform: (see the intro title credits to the film, it is there)
asciilifeform: using someone who learned the language from... a dictionary?
mircea_popescu: the fact that they at fucking least got the tattoos ~right (and no, it's absolutely not out of place that a bunch of dudes in suits gather on fine leather upholstery to drink aged cognac while one of them takes apart a sorry set of 1920 shaver turned into tattoo machine and proceeds.)
asciilifeform: they felt it necessary to MAKE UP a naval anthem
asciilifeform: for instance, the iconic tub o'shit 'red october'
mircea_popescu: phf too much material. us-audience film is a 2kb affair.
