mircea_popescu: there's no need to even dress them. cows live in shit up to their udders on an antibiotic diet, that's where the overton window is, in this negotiation.
mircea_popescu: the only problem is that the minority of women for whom their intellectual value exceeds their reproductive value, this collective bargaining is a miserable life
mircea_popescu: yes it's true that 100% of females being fertile, and indeed the species either reproduces or ends, it then follows that they could "organize" in the way of "labour organizing" and "demand" things.
mircea_popescu: ie, the female worldview : a) isn't she the goddess-ordained womb ? b) don't i need kids ? therefore c) i'd better give her all the moneys she says, what.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, apparently it also goes by the "i don't like anything about you!!!" name.
mircea_popescu: but... yeah irc was also unemployed and otherwise dependopotamus item.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure when originally introduced the striking aspect of the woman was this orca-like quality ustardian females get, where the head seems fused to the neck and the mouth promises to open wide enough to take in a live veal.
mircea_popescu: long con open tender, because what's online for. ubuntu amirite.
mircea_popescu: ie, she's going to try and get money ~before~ the flying in.
mircea_popescu: this is what drives the length difference : unspecific can't last.
mircea_popescu: a long con misdirects the victim towards a specific point ; a short con misdirects the victim without a specific point.

mircea_popescu: something to do with the habit of catfish to bury in mud.

mircea_popescu: a catfisher is a fat woman that tries to manipulate the camera angle and crop tools in post-edit to seem less fat.

mircea_popescu: they adapted the falx for a siege weapon, but the original thing deployed against them / used by the dacians was a 2-3 m pole with a 30-60 cm blade cutting inside.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform jp item not halberd variant. jp item ~falx~ variant, as in the dacian weapon. very practical according to romans, either, feared the future romanians like no one else.
mircea_popescu: the only actual field aplication where it was state of art was disposing of armored folk fallen off horse.
mircea_popescu: that said, it was never very practical, not even in its heyday.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform halberds you mean ? that's a particularly satisfying item to use. dunno if you ever held one, but it's a mainstay for purely meritous reasons. best weapon to stand guard with, for instance, it's satisfying in the way of warm tea.
mircea_popescu: apparently sanity is a ~behaviour~, dependent in actual expression upon the a) presence and b) understandment of proper, sanity-inducing tools.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but these are the replacement zulu, hallucinated by autistic white boys to porn up the girl next door in their own imagination.
mircea_popescu: Ubuntu (Zulu pronunciation: [ùɓúntʼù]) is a Nguni Bantu term meaning "humanity". It is often translated as "I am because we are," and also "humanity towards others", but is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity".")
mircea_popescu: (anyone ever looked into the deep piles of pantsuiticy surrounding that btw ? not just "Ubuntu - The leading operating system for PCs, IoT devices ..." on precisely 0% market share, but rather "Ubuntu philosophy - Wikipedia
mircea_popescu: incidentally... i can't fucking believe the 2010s failed to produce a pornstar named justine beaver.
mircea_popescu: truth be told ssh pipes are fragile ; the interwebs aren't that great and well... add on top of that the usg.nsa ineptitude.

mircea_popescu: "and jerry has to go sit on the bean bag right over there"
mircea_popescu: i think this is actually a great tie-in for "corpoate events". drive people from mission district to eugene for "axing party". when they find out who got laid off.
mircea_popescu: what, they'll "provide consultancy" to "chinese insurgents" ?
mircea_popescu: it's better to cut it lean, but after doing it for so long you forget.
mircea_popescu: i would be much surprised if the current trend continues, where the chinese keep making the pacis for the ustards.

mircea_popescu: the whole history of "technology" 1992 - 2018 readily reduces to "hey wouldn't x be cool ? let's do it! oops it totally sucks who the fuck came up with this" for values of x taken out of a set with a cardinality comparable to the cardinal of all sets.
mircea_popescu: from ers to who have you, ALL WRONG, 100% certifiably fucktarded, clueless and entirely extraneous to this world.
mircea_popescu: an entire generation intellectually bankrupt on the cluelessness of "the tech sector leaders".
mircea_popescu: the "intellectual leadership" lead no one nowhere. all their "ideas" turned out to be shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the important point ~everyone~ (and i don't mean in pantsuitland, at all. it's not the "gender wars" people, it's the "scientists" and "engineers" and whatnot) avoids like snails avoid salt is that THEY WERE WRONG.
mircea_popescu: guess what, the nude bios female will "rediscover" "love" every generation\
mircea_popescu: it's funny, though, i spent the 90s thinking "oh, man, videoconfereincing will be SO COOL!!!" and then the 2010s going "fuck you and your stupid camera, get on irc like normal people. i really don't need to see you sweat."

mircea_popescu: i'm like ye olde admirality, comissioning maps of the seven seas.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform youtube is not mostly lolcats. youtube is mostly male dweebs in a shitsty talking in an annoying voice way too close to the mic. and picking their nose "discreetely" while they nasalize.
mircea_popescu: it's not like "author of guillotine", but rather "the guy who came up with the trick of telling jews the gaschamber's for showering".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't dignify that shitshow with a mention, from the engineering pov. everyone involved i know of is deeply ashamed of their participation.
mircea_popescu: in practical terms, "youtube video" is an url, like p.bvulpes.com/paste/<code>.
