mircea_popescu: money was meaningless
throughout
the socialist empire, sure.
mircea_popescu: and "marriage" means "living
toghether" already anyway, which can mean anything
the fuck anyone pleases anyway, so...
mircea_popescu: there's ~no way for slave
to avoid slavetax.
that's
the point of having a) slave and b) slavetax.
BingoBoingo: "A 34-year-old woman seduces a 15-year-old boy and becomes pregnant. She gives birth
to a daughter and
thereafter applies for Aid
to Families with Dependent Children. Is
the child's father obligated
to pay child support even
though he is a victim of statutory rape? (Pen. Code, ? 261.5, subd. (d).) We conclude he is liable for child support."
BingoBoingo: Without calling GAW jizz moppers in October 2014 who would
think
to
take Qntra seriously on...
BingoBoingo: Sure.
The greatest accomplishment of early Qntra was doing lots while making it look like we weren't doing anything at all. Everything from
the site's
theme
to
the
tone of
that first indictment against GAW was done with
this in mind.
BingoBoingo: Much booze was had in
these discussions of actual internet marketing and SEO.
BingoBoingo: Working
the longlines and seeing what bites.
BingoBoingo: No, not
trolling in
that sense.
Trolling as in fishing, as in doing
the actual work of SEO.
mircea_popescu: it's only
trolling if you're not backed by
the righteous word of
teh lord.
BingoBoingo: Cazalla's
trolling was Qntra's original and most important SEO campaign
BingoBoingo: And GAW was
the story
that cazalla used
to hammer Qntra into being a
thing
that made our asperzoring competitors feel shame
BingoBoingo: Because 2014 was
the year of our lord cazalla
mircea_popescu: iirc it was mentioned in logs mr fraser won't be able
to disentangle himself last year
mircea_popescu: in
the sense a luxury car is "100k" or a cellphone "1500". yeah, right, read
the maintenance contracts.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in fairness marine creatures are supposed
to be portly.
BingoBoingo: These are
the mysteries of
the Los Angeles desert
BingoBoingo: Or mebbe weather is just right for cigarette butts
to light
the brush
today?
BingoBoingo: Mebbe some ISIS kid in California decided if he went firebug he could get a higher score
than if he went an hero?
Bugpowder: Hmm… Now 4 fires started in
the last 3 hours in LA… Arson?
Bugpowder: Wind blowing it up mountains not down
tho so OK for now…
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, romanian redditards found out
that mp was also born
there,
think
that "hey, wtf, i don;'t
think it can be him. if it were he would be starting a revolution"
Bugpowder: Not sure about streaming
to
to wherever you are, but
the HD video is pretty amazing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lulziest
thing is
the VERY expensive "business jet" (embraer phenom)
that was made by javascript engineers (won't work at all without gps signal).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah,
they "didn't know" which is how romania went from an agrarian economy in 1935
to
the world's petroengineering superpwoer in 1965.
mircea_popescu: the false etymology
to roman lat vir is particularly endearing.
mircea_popescu: very different (in
the sense of being opposite)
to pragmatism as a current in anglosaxon
thought. which is more like, "keep all doors and windows shut and only open something once you're sure
there's nothing
there".
mircea_popescu: well, it seems
to me
to be a very apt summary of
the
type of pragmatism prevalent here. a sort of "keep horizon maximally open" flavour of pragmatism
phf: right, i mean i'm being dense as far as how
that maps
to
the mini rant
mircea_popescu: phf "a house enough
to sit in and land as far as your eye can see"
phf: mircea_popescu: hmm, i'm not groking
that "casa ..."
thing
mircea_popescu: yeah, discussion may well continue, but it does altogether not seem likely
there's going
to be a "chosen respirator"
phf: i honestly
though
thestringpuller was just being
tongue-in-cheek :o
trinque will not fall back
to abacus until
tmsr-fpga exists
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:55 asciilifeform:
thestringpuller: in ru prison,
this position, once detected, gets you assigned
to pederasty immediately.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:49 phf: Framedragger: despite
the rhetoric people here are extremely pragmatic. but when you
think about
these
things
there's no reason
to allow sloppy
thinking.
the question is "how much of a dick up your ass is
too much dick", and
the healthy answer is "none at all". llvm is good
technology (it gives you same kind of layering
that a decent common lisp compiler does, but for languages
that are not used
to
that kind of richnes
trinque: asciilifeform: does ppc have
the mysterymeat cores?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah. i just meant
the vidcard gnarl could maybe be excised in a politically defensible manner. historically it was ~60
to 70% of all
the mess.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:49 asciilifeform: i'm personally riding
two dozen untanks.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:42 asciilifeform: for so long as 'you can't buy
this video board any moar' is a
thing, at ALL,
there neither is nor can be such a
thing as sane driver set.
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
this is not
terribly related. "whether it's a collie or a
terrier it still bit me"
mircea_popescu: so
the drones "make
the decision"
to "buy" one with "their" "money" aka corp scrip on loan from
the corp.
mircea_popescu: take modems. who buys
them ?
telcos.
take say smartphones. who buys
them ? corporations. literally, not just because
they "issue"
the drones one, but because
they decide which is
the "in" one
to have.
mircea_popescu: i have doubts, as an anthropologist i mean,
that
this was EVER actually
the case. it seems altogether plausible
that
the ~idea~ of
turdmarket driving
things was perceived as "likely
to occur" in general and perhaps circumstantially occuring in some spots, but
the
trends are separating not joining
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems altogether improbable
that as of
today
the
turdmarket is
the driver of anything.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:35 Framedragger:
these abstract rebuttals always confuse me
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:34 asciilifeform: Framedragger: freebsd fell
to rot long ago
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we have
the power
to standardize
the iron, maybe,
through
the process of selection.
mircea_popescu: if it is linux, it probably is more like debian sarge or gentoo whatever from 2003
than anything visible in
the wild. fuck, it probably should be more like ibm-dos really.
mircea_popescu: the path
to bitcoinfs intersects a
tmsr-os/loper-os/whatever-we-end-up-calling-it-os, just...
