mircea_popescu: then again, i suppose with per capita consumption in the us at the lowest levels in the place's history, way below ww2 levels and only commensurate with the economic puritanism of the 1600s... banning tourism might not even be an outrage.
mircea_popescu: doesn't take much, either -- be unemployed, as most grads are.
mircea_popescu: not student loans tho, at least as it stands. for one thing, they're mostly commercial paper ; for the other thing, such a ban'd be pretty much equivalent to banning youth from travelling, afaik most are in some kind of default.
mircea_popescu isn't specifically any kind of usgistani expert, hasn't visited in nigh on two decades by now, hasn't cared to for same interval also.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, i wasn' taware indigence is a bar to re-entry in the zone (i'm putting this here rather than in a comment for visibility, so moar informed folk can see an' comment)
mircea_popescu: also, comparison with iliterate peasant / highwaty robber's bound to break down at SOME fucking point.
mircea_popescu is now going to compose a castle grant template for deeding later
mircea_popescu: #metoo and all that is merely contemporaneous expression of ~same eternal thing.
mircea_popescu: that's the big problem with "helping", teenagers especially, but not just : they dun wanna be helped, they just wanna be insulated from the consequences of their idiocy.
mircea_popescu: this ain't a proper need ; and will get no support. it's what the "need" in there denotes, rather than the plain need.
mircea_popescu: the quote in particular is misleading -- it discusses a stupidity of young women, whereby they very much as discussed above misrepresent their "needs" as "support for escaping the consequence of their idiocy without needing to substantially review theyr cunthead".
mircea_popescu: entirely and quite precisely opposite of any kinda written off.
mircea_popescu: then how do they get voice ? oh, you don't intend to put it in yet ?
mircea_popescu: and i can see the "hey diana_coman if you dun wanna rate johnny 9 then don't knight'him" ?
mircea_popescu: i guess it can be revised, like all conventions / indirection layers.
mircea_popescu: will run into the usual problem, when will want to insert thing between 4 and 5 and there';s no number there.'
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong in principle with giving numbers names, i guess. at least, human practice to date hasn't found it so far.
mircea_popescu: is there actual substantial meaning translated thereby ? /me shall have to meditate
mircea_popescu: i mean, i see the merit, but isn't this rather tcp-style overloading of adhocisms ?
mircea_popescu: that scary moment when one notices the TWO most recent items in trilema comments queue are trackbacks from other people's blogs.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, might still have to make soem kind of two-tiered system, because im not going to either unrate most everyone i have rated now nor let any and all talk. so i guess ima have two keysets ? nfi.
mircea_popescu: where the fuck's that lobbes comment re calling girls/sluts/etc ? not on blog not in log wtf, it was lik last week
mircea_popescu: kinda the importance of beatings in the harem -- it sweats the women out of the little girls.
mircea_popescu: this way the ad-interim imaginaria of a bot's wot can be put back on the shelf where it belongs.
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly : hey trinque, now that there's actually multiple functional castles the time's prolly come to update the deedbot voice model into awareness of this situation. so how about a patch making voice in #trilema dependent on ~my~ wot, rather than deedbot's own ; and similarily in any castles that ask for it / you come to an understanding with the lords thereof, so they can use the voice model there if they wanna.
mircea_popescu: because duh, "nobody ever got hanged for being a stupid cunt", the foundational myth of the inca state.
mircea_popescu: and it's self-perpetuating, too. if i take the trouble to actually write a trilema piece for his dumb ass, something absolutely nobody's entitled to expect, the result's more elaborate disavowal and general cuntery, rather than an awakening to sense.
mircea_popescu: and THIS is what's meant by "if you hang out with retards you'll become retarded" : dude spent so much time with the ustards, he is now behaving like a stupid cunt. his discovery of having fucked up doesn't lead to "omfg, i fucked up SO BAD". it leads to "oh, republic is abusive".
mircea_popescu: as a sure-fire heuristic, only dumb cunts discover "they were abused" as a disavowed result misrepresented as driving cause of contemplating how they fucked up.
mircea_popescu: dood to this fucking day imagines himself a "basically decent" fellow who "was oppressed" by the meanies of this world for "his bad luck". because
idiocy comes in layers, lucifer went straight to hell thinking himself i nthe right on the same exact process also. it's a thing.
mircea_popescu: which of these two would you propose was followed here ?
mircea_popescu: in any case, let's just say that trigger avoidance is a comparatively poorer strategy
mircea_popescu: it doesnt' even understand what the fuck's happening to it when it passes out, seems rather like a ~momentary~ inexplainable nonsense / witchcraft best not ever considered past the moment, forgotten as soon as it passed as part and parcel of what being a dog even is ; there's no anxious dogs because dogs have no memory in this reflexive sense.
mircea_popescu: it's a dog, though, it has no fucking idea it's walking about looking for that final trigger.
mircea_popescu: it's how large dogs die, as this one'll die. and when it dies, whatever the fuck will have been ~the trigger~. whatever the fuck inconsequential event, a car honking, a cat jumping, a bad dream, things that happen daily to other dogs to no ill effect.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-11#1935581 << of course the trigger was the trigger. what's in a trigger ? my neighbour has this eight year old dog. it's a large dog, and in large dogs eight is pretty much the end of the line. it's coming for her, too, three or four times already she passed out running / fell over, sat there squirming in desperation. heart's giving out.
mircea_popescu: not that very many manage even as it is -- but i'll be fucked with thistlestalks before i make that 9/10ths 19/20ths, holy hell, i'll need spare wrists.
mircea_popescu: come to think about it ... yo asciilifeform , do you realise about 9/10ths of trilema the blog by mass is spurious introduction, which i could very well "do without" by employing a similar tironian process, except then nobody in the whole fucking world could follow what the fuck's being said anymore ?
mircea_popescu: i don't expect anyone can actually talk to alf who isn't both very intellectualyl lively and has a lot of experience talking to alfs. which technically is the definition of autism, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it is also terse, missing out on about 2/3 of the introductions does save some space.
mircea_popescu: that's why he's the lord of over there : so you don't have to be.
mircea_popescu: and if he doesn't, yes, very much exactly beheaded in the same way for the same reasons.
mircea_popescu: Yes, obviously, as per long standing republican doctrine (and standing as such since long before this particular republic was even declared) the lord can get away with bloody murder. Of course he can. But this doesn't mean it's not murder, or not bloody."
mircea_popescu: the only law is this : that if you don't want to have to write 3600 digits, don't fucking start with 1337!
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-11#1935554 << it's not like it's fucking arbitrary, might as well ask sums to "moderate themselves", why not, write letter to factorial, "dear factorial, your results are computationalyl challenging, and it is unfair to most numbers above 10 or so that they can never feel safe in being followed up by an exclamation point like their single-digit bretheren. why won't you moderat
mircea_popescu: negative fucking space ffs, it used to be called thinking back when my grandfather could barely read ; now that all everyone does all day is "read"
facebook somehow magically nobody can think anymore ?
mircea_popescu: not "do i want a jetski" but "what will i do with a jetski in akron, ohio" and "how will i pay the cc bill or why should i have to".
mircea_popescu: wtf, how hard is it and how the fuck could it not be obvious.
mircea_popescu: man, generally speaking, WILL THINK OF THE NEGATIVE SPACE.
mircea_popescu: and like this in everything -- man will say "i can't fucking sit on all this, people will spit on grave IF ONE DAY IT HAPPENS i'm incapacitated".
mircea_popescu: man will consider, "oh nice, there's nine pies here, i'm still going to have ONE SLICE".
mircea_popescu: to continue "publication-phobic folks" thread : difference between mouse and man is that moue will eat itself into overweight to the point where can't, famously, get back out through the hole it came in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, standard wasn't ~properly~ described. standard was described at fucking all, i don't need to explain the difference between your logger which diana_coman 's running now and phf's alleged logger which, for all anyone knows, consists of one mechanical turk who meanwhile got sad / ran away.
mircea_popescu: correct thinking consists of thinking ~about the negative space~. not about the positive space. not "oh hurr durr it works", ffs.
mircea_popescu: whatever, just as soon as it was even vaguely possible one might've had some use for it. and this is ~deeply unsexy~, mind, i ain't publishing boihood-conventional "cool stuff & frank zappa" here. i'm publishing the most shameful thing known to the wankastery collective, and then end up having to "battle" nonsense of "oh, mp is intellectually stunted, can't install linux" because of it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, didactica aside, i dunno any of his production was even vaguely visible. i mean, you realise trilema still runs to this very fucking day on code published in what was it, 2015,
