asciilifeform: per the traditional story, alex let'im go with a bag o'gold
mp_en_viaje: whereas the reality contains no such, but in fact a shocking equality of intellectual means, and modes, and mores, between the pirate calling himself alexander and all other pirates.
mp_en_viaje: the problem here is that the posturing contains some element of intellectual superiority. "you rob one ship -- dumbly, because dumb. i ''''rob''' a thousand, so well they beg me to keep on robbing and weep when i give it all up and leave."
asciilifeform: 'i rob with one ship, you -- with thousand' or how did it go.
asciilifeform: recall the famous convo b/w alexander the macedonian & the pirate.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-26#1920140 << was this ever not happening ? e.g. what exactly is the diff b/w 'his majesty's tax collector' and 'highwayman' . ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: so i turn on the tv, first channel is vox music, ace of base, "all that she wants"
diana_coman: where "one of us" is really "us", there is no such thing as "one"
diana_coman: i.e. right/wrong is all about whether it's "one of us" or not, nothing to do with anything else.
diana_coman: what can I say, to me it reads over-and-over again like all the group-thinking ever did: if we do it, it's all right because we are ALL doing it, if s/he does it, it is wrong because it's outside the group ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: actually come to think of it... that's EXACTLY what they believe.
mp_en_viaje: it's almost as if the pantsuit honestly believe they found the holy grail of scamming, everyone else is doing it wrong (tm)
diana_coman: "not the right sort of scammers111!"
mp_en_viaje: it's pretty bloodcurdling, this brave new world as examined through the lifting of the smallest of rocks hiding its wormy pullulation from the sun.
diana_coman: I suppose it makes sense as moving on from pretending to learn to pretending to do /serve as there's nothing else apparently.
mp_en_viaje: they "serve customers food", theoretically.
mp_en_viaje: ~same everyrthing else is. what's kfc ? a random jumble of unwashed negros and white trash "students" ie vagabonds meeting occasionally through their phones' social media apps.
mp_en_viaje: the quality, let alone quantity of cognitive dissonance involved in the day-to-day operations of femstate agents is unparalleled in nature.
mp_en_viaje: internally to a small number of Monitor / Trustee representatives who require access to the Platform to administer these proceedings." aka "we do not like what these people did [because it was these people doing it] therefore we have proceeded to doing THE EXACT SAME THING they did and self-importantly act like it's all better now -- because it's us doing it, not them!"
mp_en_viaje: "KYC User information, where available, supplied to Quadriga has been saved directly within the Platform. The data is not masked in any way. Administrative access such as the access previously utilized by the independent consultants and Mr. Cotten and the access granted to the Monitor allows access to view KYC information for any User. Given the sensitivity of this personal information, the Monitor has restricted Platform access
mp_en_viaje: and the similarity lulz are not just one coincidental spot of comedy, they're everywhere!
mp_en_viaje: e this fixed idiocy in the world, you're no longer an unwashed urchin because the goat was the unwashed urchin and the goat was killed therefore you're now clean and respectable.
mp_en_viaje: "legal" proceedings in the reich are strictly indistinguishable from the ancient practice of playing with the scape goat. first you feed it. then you put ribbons in its hair. then you kill it and pretend lik
mp_en_viaje: github-retardation/][github] or usg the topnode itself. these don't equally represent themselves, spuriously if ridiculously, as "serving users" that don't exist (and they don't serve), as having money they don't have (or for that matter understand) and so following. no, not them, just this one, exceptionally.
mp_en_viaje: . QUADRINGA, you see, not ~everyone~, but this one ~particular~ femstate agent specifically, represented itself. it's not EXACTLY IDENTICAL to the case of usg.okcupid or usg.fetlife or usg.airbnb or usg.[http://trilema.com/2013/the-poster-child-for-
mp_en_viaje: "Quadriga represented itself as being one of Canada’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges serving over 360,000 registered Users. Notwithstanding the size of the operation in terms of transactional values and volumes processed, specifically during 2017 and 2018, Quadriga was effectively a small operation with what appears to be limited corporate infrastructure and limited controls in respect of its operations." << gotta love the rich pretense there
mp_en_viaje: and btw, why doesn't the qntra select work, i have to use archive / ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, so did that "bitcoin financier" in his own mind kill himself for having "traded" opm into nothingness ? his "unaccessible wallets" totalling ~100 btc dun really match the ~300mn figure in claims. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( i noticed e.g. that old world oak, with the correct!1111 'long' acorn, is not found in new world. and doubt that it is because no one tried to plant.. )
asciilifeform: even tree, not quite anywhere.
mp_en_viaje: well then...
asciilifeform: not long ago went and saw what the 'students' do ~here~, wasn't so diff
mp_en_viaje: i expect you;d notice cutting up cardboard is what "students" do there. by the time "technology" is an oil drum sawed in half for "parilla"...
mp_en_viaje: i expect you'd notice the sudden absence of a technical world.
asciilifeform: ( unlike e.g. mp_en_viaje , wouldn't notice the broken clubs etc )
a111: Logged on 2019-01-30 01:02 asciilifeform: 'ru-ar' d00d described 'month -- euphoria, then reality sets in when so happens you want a faucet fixed, or tooth capped, or to buy power brick for lappy' etc
asciilifeform: the 'ru-ar' d00d described typical 'month' of endurance of typical ru emigre there. asciilifeform idly wonders how long it'd take him to barf. ☝︎
asciilifeform: prolly cheaper (and more interesting) to build dome under ocean, than to terraform derpistan fulla orcs
mp_en_viaje: can't even get to the end of they begging on hands and knees in ten lives, what terraformic.
mp_en_viaje: i'm also not that into rape. for the exact same reasons, too. who the fuck can be bothered ?
mp_en_viaje: i'm not that into terraforming tbh.
asciilifeform: rright but that's, what, 1% of what's needed to terraform
mp_en_viaje: helped plenty, old whore went from presidency to jail cell.
asciilifeform: iirc mp_en_viaje showed up in argentinistan with railcar of green, didn't help any moar than in any other sovok
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-25#1920065 << literally, giving people the gift of "cab", socialist version. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Anyways, brb going to route my way to Cordon.
asciilifeform: the net is ~entirely from duct tape, it's sorta surprising it even worx at all on most days.
asciilifeform: considering that the table per se is sourced via 'kindness of strangers'...
BingoBoingo: Regional backbone is a bit ambiguous. TMSR router at Pizarro by definition is just about going to have to be "regional backbone"
BingoBoingo: Holding less than the full table increases dependence on the kindness of strangers
asciilifeform: if it's somewhere other than regional backbone
BingoBoingo: Depends where the router is on the topology.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Anyways, this is a part of why router facing the world needs at least 8 gigs of RAM. Gotta hold ALL the IPv4 routing tables
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: usg ministry of lulz is trying to push usgtronic 'pki' bgp. so, 1st gotta 'make weather', vandalize a bit, drum up interest.
BingoBoingo: Anyways if it isn't one thing with the internet of shit it is another. Packet weather's one thing. But for all the derp about encrypting the DNS... routers routinely eat unsigned route batches
BingoBoingo: Seems like another miss though apropos the Nordic System http://trilema.com/2013/regulation-for-our-lord-regulos/
asciilifeform: appears to be the complete set .
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 17:45 mp_en_viaje will not go asking google to pretty please discharge some nibblets from the usenet archives it stole, in its own judgement.

mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, nor either of those two
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: pretty sure you had a piece re how handing out payola to lumpens results in $25 bottle of soda etc
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, the stock warrant thing, though interesting, not at all it.
asciilifeform: the oddity in panama was that they allocated neither space nor time for the thing, they set up ad hoc xray an' queue right where the shops are; and the procedure subtracted from the time to next plane
mp_en_viaje: usians are getting reamed pretty hard throughout yurp fwis, these days. way easier time being somali or something.
asciilifeform: sumthing that i never before saw
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: my last pass through panama was esp. outrageous, they set up an impromptu baggage & pocket search queue ~on arrival from usa~ for no detectable reason
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-25#1919994 << nah that's not it ; earlier piece, quite specifically discussing hospital economics. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 21:26 mircea_popescu: phf you can also book with a day+ layover in panama on your way back. for one thing you get to see the place and despise panama for good reason rather than by hearsay ; for the other flight over here is ~1hr ~every hour.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-25#1919991 << o yeah, panama is a celebrated shithole, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779900 and all that. ☝︎☝︎
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i also have been toying with the idea of doing a http://trilema.com/2012/filozoful-blogomirea-editie-revazuta-adaugita-si-completata/#selection-123.0-125.52 for a few years myself. "what'd happen to trilema if it reviewed itself ???"
asciilifeform has had 'do 2nd pass through the naggum bones ' on conveyor backlog for nearly decade nao
mp_en_viaje: not gonna do a fucking novel, i tell you that. i might put up the details re the bait & switch "hotel" / scam, but atm waiting to see what the police say and for report on list of various authorities that could be induced to inspect the shithole.
BingoBoingo awaits more chapters of "Nordic System" materializing on Trilema in the coming months http://trilema.com/the-nordic-system-a-new-novel-by-mircea-popescu
mp_en_viaje will not go asking google to pretty please discharge some nibblets from the usenet archives it stole, in its own judgement. ☟︎
asciilifeform: dunthinkso. but might be in the old archive, will look
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i never read that part. is it on your site ?
asciilifeform: naggum actually described, in ~exactly mp_en_viaje's terms
BingoBoingo: Both Argeis and Norgies seem to be heavy on the "Indoorsmanship"
BingoBoingo: The heat could still play a role in that Norgies get the heat for "Phree"
mp_en_viaje: however, THIS they both had in common : circumstantial windfall, unearned wealth. the argentines with the ww2 debacle / the germans petting them throughout 19th century, and the nortards with the oil, obv.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, i suspect you might be very right re the oil. we used to think the problem ruining argentina was you know, heat. "it never freezes here, of course they're all bums". but norway freezes plenty -- so i kinda don't see the heat theory anymore.
mp_en_viaje: incidentally : one should absolutely not trust any norwegian. assholes scam like they breathe ; i dunno why various africans have a bad reputation, i have literally never been scammed by a hotel before, ever.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 15:01 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-25#1919971 << lol, can't resist to ask, didja file complaint against whole city, for being fulla criminally insane lolcows ?
BingoBoingo: Probably still top 5 on either side by your description. Place sounds like the oil was, like Qatar's... a serious misfortune
mp_en_viaje: in other lulz : they have reindeer pelts for sale in one of these revolting "souvenirs" to take home so as to pretend like norway isn't a complete shithole thatshould be glassed.. costs ~two pelts to pay for a cab ride to the airport.
mp_en_viaje: just my luck it'd be the shittiest place this side of the equator
mp_en_viaje: anyway : my flight got delayed ; this marks the longest i ever spent in an airport
BingoBoingo: Here you only gotta register with the local prefectura if you lack a place to live and wanna claim a corner
mp_en_viaje: well, the soviet part of chinese. sure.
mp_en_viaje: you have to register PHONE with polizei. literally, can get sim but will not work in any phone not sold in norway and can't have mobile in norway other than like typewriters in ye olde soviet lands.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 14:56 asciilifeform wonders if they have 'прописка' in norway. i.e. where must Officially register place of residence with polizei erry time changing flats
BingoBoingo: Puffy shirts all the way down
