mircea_popescu: i dunno, drama fountain, we kinda covered
the basics,
they just rehash, shanonize and markov
the same stuff endlessly.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-08 12:57 mircea_popescu: o hey look at
that, ethereum actually up 2.5%.
mircea_popescu: beetle
therein depicted made it
to 1yo! gets party butt-hat.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding
they really needed
the rotweiller ; and much better deal anyway
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eu has a small penis. greeks are 10mn,
turks 80. not
to go into details of how lazy pretentious people fit much better, or into how
they're also not much of a
threat.
mircea_popescu: country's basically
the equivalent of shannen doherty. was hot briefly in its youth, by now it's a great way
to pour money down
the drain.
mircea_popescu: certainly not a sort of meal
ticket for
the accursed lot.
mircea_popescu: ie, something for
the other greeks/romanians etc
to ASPIRE
to.
mircea_popescu: notrly greek in
that sense. onassis is greek like i'm romanian.
mircea_popescu: internet demolished books,
then printing. cable caries many million mile-tons of substitute goods per second
mircea_popescu: lol. you know how many unneeded ships
there are
today ?
mircea_popescu: hardly interesting.
there's what, 10mn of
them ? on a peninsula ?
mircea_popescu: otherwise
this quickly becomes
the greek argument, "we borrowed and spent but shouldn't have
to repay because hey, new government!"
mircea_popescu: once he did, it's committed, he did it as
the legitimate representative at
the
time, his shit no matter how dumb is binding.
mircea_popescu: notrly how
this works. if
they were so high and mighty, should have shot him BEFORE he committed ~the country~
mircea_popescu: point in case : if parents of useless redditard shoot him,
they STILL owe on his college debt
mircea_popescu: nobody asks you
to come, but once you're
there you leave once
the show's done.
mircea_popescu: prior
to
that - very friendly. after
that, and especially owing
to stalin's low birth behaviours, hallucinating ownership over ro gold and ro bukovina, it went downhill.
mircea_popescu: in fact
thinking about it -
the ro-ru bad blood starts with
the revolutionary derps deserting
the front. cela ne se fait pas.
mircea_popescu: hence
the "2k people signed up for deportation" lulz yest.
mircea_popescu: in
that sense russland uber alles, uber alles in der welt wtf
mircea_popescu: course...
there IS
that epic
tale of sobieski's siege of piatra neamt, anyone know it ?
mircea_popescu: kinda went both ways, between
the suceava and krakow courts.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo eh, pre 1800s
the russians hadn't yet been invented in europe. was all polish.
mircea_popescu: and in ww1,
there was proper ro army alright.
there wasn't proper ru army,
though, lenin's idea was
to a) abandon
the allies front and b) go "wee wee please don't beat us up mr european powers sir"
mircea_popescu: mno,
there's also
that little one in
the 1880s when
tarevich wrote desperately
to plox come
to
turkey and save our asses we're dying here.
mircea_popescu: ru didn't stand up so well
to ro army for most of war.
shinohai: i was
thinking of writing a piece on welfarecoin, but it is in recycle bin atm
shinohai: I forgot
to
tweet it at victoria
BingoBoingo: venmo is basically a
tool
that puts a 1 cent price
tag on spamming
the shit out of anyone with a venmo coin client
a111: Logged on 2016-07-08 06:09 mircea_popescu: also re
tiny : ro is 15% of ru or somesuch ; ru is 35% or so of eu or somesuch.
tiny country is monaco, diff story. otherwise, germany's a
third of brazil and saudi arabia a 15% of pakistan naimean ?
shinohai: Venmo always seemed =
to changtip
to me
mircea_popescu lolz at
the shitcoins. bitcoin cap 10bn, yest
trade 1/4 bn (2.5%) ; ethereum "cap" 800mn, yest
trade 11mn (1.2%) ; ripple "cap" 250mn (hey, recall when it was 1bn+, above ethereum ?), yest
trade 500k (0.2%).
mircea_popescu: sure nadja can keep up with me, but
that's only because i suck ; she can't keep up with boris from her hometown.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller women,
too, because fucking equalitards omit
to mention
to girls how
they really can't keep up with dudes.
thestringpuller: Man
thinking about all
the parties I've been
to where
there was some girl puking her brains out in her "night gear" (the kinda clothes you wear
to work
the corner), crying
their eyes out with someone annoyed holding
their hair back.
mircea_popescu: should be a misdemeanor, "you puke in public you spend
that night in jail. no judge, no exceptions."
thestringpuller: Another good one is as a freshman, one of my friends lived in a dorm with a lot of sorority pledges. So when she was getting up for her 8am class, she'd see girls stumble in go
to
the
toilets. Puke. Put on makeup, and go
to class...
thestringpuller: Funny story. My last semester in school, I was walking
to my goto pub.
These chicks are crossing
the street right? One of
them pukes on
the light post. Her friends help her stand a little.
Then after
the light changes she continues walking as if nothing ever happened.
mircea_popescu: jesus christ when did
that become socially acceptable.
mircea_popescu: oh and
the OTHER obnoxious
thing about us college
towns is
they fucking puke.
thestringpuller: and
this is why
the current game I'm playing is 20 years old...
thestringpuller: Like when EA bought PopCap cause Plants vs Zombies could be remade 4mn
times like
the sims and still sell.
mircea_popescu: o look at
that, activision bought king.com back in feb. guess what - "blizzard family". world of warcraft and candy crush, same
thing!
mircea_popescu: it's one
thing
to put a 50 ft
tall poster of a nude woman kissing a campari olive on a drab gray wall across from
the campus enclosure.
thestringpuller: Yea.
The college club scene is very akin
to herding. Actually similar
to high school.
mircea_popescu: and
the problem with
this
theory is
that us media, unlike everyone else who's sane, won't carry nudity.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yeah,
that's
the obnoxious part about us college
towns.
thestringpuller: So all
the "advertisement" is in relation
to 1) showing guys
there are hot girls
there 2) getting hot girls
there
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller club scene is fundamentally pimp scene. it'd better be,
the alternative is what, highschool cafeteria + prep
talks ?
thestringpuller: The plebs for college students usually is just "get as many girls here as possible
to attract frat dudes
to buy
them drinks"
thestringpuller: That's how
the higher end clubs operate.
The ones
that have ~actual~ vip rooms.
mircea_popescu: that gives you a steady stream of
those in
the 100s, and
then all
the aspie schmucks pay
to get in and rub... elbows.
mircea_popescu: nah.
the way
this works is you open a 10k seater club, have 50-100 girls
to go
to all
the CEO
types in
that city,
tell
them "if you agree
to come
to X club
this weekend i'll
take all my clothes off and you can fingerfuck me right here on yoru desk"
thestringpuller: Yea. I used
to work
that scene. Honestly
the club scene in america is very much
turning into "the pimp scene" or maybe it always was
taht.
mircea_popescu: that guy picks his pub not by "closest
to home" but by facebook ? rly ?
thestringpuller: Aha. I was
talking more about
the pub-esque "regulars". You know
the drunk who spends 2k a month on booze.
mircea_popescu: clubs DO work like
this, in
the larger
towns. but
the lists are maintained by a loose network of associated strippers/whores/pr girls, who do
the promotion footwork.
