asciilifeform: phf: somebody's gotta issue them parking ticketz!11
phf: they have city court, district court and state court, and a police building. i've not seen this many police cars patrollin in my life. even in russia
mircea_popescu: fucking buffallo, will stampede, nothing you can do. felides and canides have better shit to do than get themselves killed over bothering you.
asciilifeform: lel i lived there for more than decade
phf: gabriel_laddel: rockville, md. they had a crime here once, a black guy jaywalked.
gabriel_laddel: sorry, safest city in the us is?
phf: girl was complaining in ghetto from time to time "man, i'm tired of these black guys hooting and hollering after me, nigga i'm just trying to make it to the store". so we moved to "safest city in united states" and she ~hates~ it. "men here smell of desperation, frankly i'm more terrified of them then i was of ghetto guys"
asciilifeform: i dunno that i've ever been inside of a 'gated komyoonity'
asciilifeform: some of them folk have iron doors that'd be the envy of any bank, etc
mircea_popescu: most of the girls can't either.
mircea_popescu: anyway. /me has always lived in ghetto. i can't fucking stand "gated communities" and in general the stench of fear.
asciilifeform: 'bitch dontcha know yer job is to die and make soap'
mircea_popescu: "bitch, you got a free pass because your white boy ass can't jump, an' now you go an' kill the homeboy ?!?!?!?"
mircea_popescu: phf kinda why the black criminal world was so indignant over that trayvon martin thing.
phf: i used to live in dodgy part of west philadelphia, and as i would make my way to civilization you'd start encountering campus police on patrol, which i realized is exactly like medieval sentries. these chubby, mostly ineffective guys and girls doing their rounds at 2am. "2 PAST MIIIDNIGHT. ALL IS SAFE"
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel legal immunity. as they say in civ, "our words are backed with nuclear weapons".
mircea_popescu: anyway. mass rape of, to quote, "many of the most beautiful Jewesses" is never an accident. everything conspires to get the lambs slaugthered.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: sorry, you want to live in/near ganglang why exactly?
asciilifeform: yes, the jhu that has armed escorts from lecture hall to garage
asciilifeform: http://www.jameslafond.com/btg << the blue zone in top center of lafond's map
mircea_popescu: aha. i am evidently not the only one with this plan.
mircea_popescu: you want extensive gangland few miles away from large school where idiot middleclass / helimoms send their precious, isolated offspring.
mircea_popescu: phf nah, that's no good.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but i believe you to be the sort who would have also believed romanian state to exist in 1992.
phf: "A small university located in Orangeburg, SC where ghetto kids with low GPA's go so that they are able to say that they attended college. Drug and otherwise criminal activity on campus make the school experience here quite similar to living in the projects."
asciilifeform: pretty sure that one's still cluckin' along
mircea_popescu likes his chicken cooked to death.
mircea_popescu: phf there's options, just, not sure the chicken's cooked yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im thinking next stop will probably be us gangland conveniently placed close to large campus.
phf: "backpack or death". that's gotta be lamest gangsta motto i've heard. reminds me of the russian gop stop in the 90s, one tactic was "do you have (cellphone|money|magic the gathering card)?" and if you said no the next gambit always cracked me up "if i found them they will be mine?" like oh shit they're on to me
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you could get entire street for less than your diesel cost
asciilifeform: i'ma be lookin' at 2 boxes tonight
mircea_popescu: do you know old women here have the unmitigated gall to sit in cafes ? LIKE THEY WERE PEOPLE ?!?!
mircea_popescu: the choices are practically various sorts of socialism, and female-led argentina is WAY the fuck worse than female-led us.
mircea_popescu: nowhere that i know.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it's true. if the us napalmed this place into the ground i'd be the first to applaud. it's an insult to humanity.
mircea_popescu: it is an absurd situation, to hate the usg and propose "independent people" are the solution, then look at what "soberania y patria bla bla" idiots make and decide you'd rather see a slave empire in its place.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you'd prefer ted turner's latifundias to the current fauna ?
mircea_popescu: phf yeah. "sacate la mochilla", which ll = y they mispronounce as sh because mountaineous gits, means "take off your backpack"
asciilifeform: 'he wears his heart safety-pinned to his backpack, his backpack is all that he knows!' (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is an idea i love. these idiots should not exist.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the issue : the flow was "ship to montevideo ferry to ba", but this changed recently, and likely to change more in the future. current president is usg tool and pretty firmly set on raping the locals
mircea_popescu: except cooking, but that's morel like ritualized activity than labour in any sense.
mircea_popescu: but it does get their attention, and the whip does the rest, provided you don't need them for any skilled purpose.
mircea_popescu: they don't understand words, in the sense that the meaning may form but the idea that there's a relation between action and meaning is as foreign to them as tentacles are to mammal reproductory system.
mircea_popescu: in general, the correct pattern of interaction with argentines, and i suspect south americans in general, is to talk loudly and carry a whip.
gabriel_laddel: I spoke too soon re mustard gas in sa
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's what being an argentine is like.
mircea_popescu: anyway, they opened the 2nd counter and i was out of there in five minutes.
mircea_popescu: rations decided he'd cut in and pretend he's the manager, so i asked him his name, at which point the entire fucking sky fell on his head. he didn't see that one coming, he honestly imagined he's going to be the anonymous responsible & in charge.
phf: mochila is like the guy who мочит
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i was sick, recently. wanted supplies. idiots were running one single counter (of the two in the place) and the local women were doing their local womanly bullshit : bagfull of 100+ different 10gram items individually wrapped, to be paid with "credit card". so i asked the girl to call the manager over, and she was like "he's that way" and i was i dun give a shit, call him over. at which point some kid with aspi
gabriel_laddel: "did i tell you about the one time when i took over management of a grocery store for 10 minutes ?" < do tell
phf: who wants a dead american on their hands for couple a hundred bucks?
gabriel_laddel: and the guy failed to use the gun
asciilifeform: did the robber get stabbed? hard to tell from the clip exactly what
mircea_popescu: anyway. ba is safer than a retirement home.
gabriel_laddel: my ex-gf was/is stronger than I
gabriel_laddel: physically I am a twink, anyone trying to rob me with a gun is a threat
mircea_popescu: for over half the encounter, he was wide the fuck open to a head-to-chin, and the fact that the croc totting ustard DIDNT lay him flat on his ass is an insult to humanity.
shinohai: Yup, those same fucktards. Now "Please Fbeeeeeeeeeeeye save us!!!!!"
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel incidentally, if you think that fucktard was "a threat", you have serious issues.
mircea_popescu: shinohai gaw fallout innit ? the same fucktards who were importantly commenting on websites, rettardit, tardstalk, what have you and "feeling like a trader/investor/capitalist" for a year or so.
gabriel_laddel: ^ anyways, if that occurs I'd like to be able to stuff a backpack full of explosives, let the guy run off with it and then detonate without being bothered by the feds
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when the proprietor went for a smoke ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform economically ? did i tell you about the one time when i took over management of a grocery store for 10 minutes ?
shinohai: http://archive.is/kx8Gj <<< I may be asshole, but I think ppl like this deserve to lose whatever sums of Bitcoin they had.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I've been reading the reports.. hence my interest.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still question that anybody with two legs, anywhere, is dumber than the folx here in good ol' phreeeeeeedomlande
gabriel_laddel: the video of a motorbike robbery from reddit a year or two ago
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel VERY, VERY different in SA. you have no fucking idea, and apparently you've not been following my field reports. these people are retarded. economically speaking, they're dumber than a gecko.
mircea_popescu: back when they actually had capital controls in place i imported what must amount to one metric ton in us bills via ferry on montevideo.
gabriel_laddel: remeber the BA guy on a motorbike?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I don't really want to gas anyone, but must be able to respond to threats in a reasonable manner
mircea_popescu: you could liberally do the ferry bit, but it wouldn't net you the (very cheap) ticket cost.
phf: hmm i think a111 returns message references in reverse order..
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel computers do not cost 2x, except hte locals are 2x as idiotic. the home shopping network demographic pays 20 bux for a plastic "earring organizer", but this is not because "plastic is expensive in the us".
gabriel_laddel would like to live in Kr, but it is an ethnostate in which non-koreans cannot own anything.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: who would you like to gas in ~south~ america ?
asciilifeform: hoodrats are the loyal servants of feds
gabriel_laddel: Oh oh, my point is more along the lines of - you can't cook mustard gas, use it on the hoodrats and then make use of the large industrial zone near oakland.
asciilifeform: armanent business is a well-colonized thing, the power players know who they are.
asciilifeform: re the turrets
gabriel_laddel: I've already sold 'stuff' here in the states, and don't see how it could possibly be different in SA?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 14:39 gabriel_laddel: What I had intended to say was: I'm on the hunt for products that are difficult to create in the ussa because of the supergay laws, or the interactions between the supergay laws and the situation in the field (ie, why one cannot make automated turrets to defend one's $100/month flat in the hood == the feds).
a111: Logged on 2016-05-11 19:33 mircea_popescu: fwiw, young males that aren't entirely dumb go almost universally through this phase of "fantasy busienss" where they keep doing various coups in their heads, start a carwash then buy a shoestore with the proceeds then trade that in for a chain fo restaurants etc etc etc.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-02#1495076 << yer still thinking like a young fella, i.e. http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-11#1465891 ☝︎☝︎
gabriel_laddel: (am assuming I'd be able to ship in parts to BA, assemble them into machines and then take a ferry and sell in MTV)
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Speaking of which, why is it so difficult to get 'stuff' into BA? If I wanted to ship in a bunch of computer parts and undercut the Uruguay competition (computers reportedly cost 2x what they do in the states because ??) the issues would be what exactly?
gabriel_laddel: What I had intended to say was: I'm on the hunt for products that are difficult to create in the ussa because of the supergay laws, or the interactions between the supergay laws and the situation in the field (ie, why one cannot make automated turrets to defend one's $100/month flat in the hood == the feds). ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-02-18 22:21 gabriel_laddel: I have a few obligations to take care of here in the US first.
asciilifeform: and had pretty obvious 'purpose' - 'wouldntcha like to go faster on this set of horse'
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 13:58 mircea_popescu: the train example is very much illustrative. there is no purpose to trains! trains exist because of the following conversation : "hey, this steam engine is pretty neat, but is it always stationary ?" "i guess you could add a rail to it..." "hmmmm".
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-02#1495045 << can't resist this invitation: first railroads were horse-drawn ☝︎
mircea_popescu: women are by their nature stupid, there's no way to argue with the data. they'll do great on confucian-style government exams and nowhere else. especially nowhere it matters, such as you know, "the carpet has just been pulled from under clinton and it's not coming back, you know who pulled it ?"
mircea_popescu: and speaking of jennifers : i can report partial data on a multi-year research project. of the "internet demographic" (under 30, poor, intelligent, educated, ambitious - the sort that supplies the seo experts, hackers, camwhores etc), 93% (of 2274) males and 2% (of 741) females actually heard of bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: apparently a bare tits floor cleanner / anthropologist named jennifer latson actually believes what "the press at the time" said is a source of truth ; and worth the mention other than derisively.
mircea_popescu: http://time.com/3546215/laika-1957/ << also interested for idiotologists, because of the references to imbecile ustardian press of the 50s, and exact unchanged restatement half a century later. truly nothing has changed in our colonies on the indian plains.
mircea_popescu: ( http://change.com/int/leika-2.html the dog in question, for they unfamiliar with 20th century history)
mircea_popescu: so no, no "correct for x". there is a "correct of y" and that's the whole of the law.
