mircea_popescu: jdanks> (: I love chickens, they are pretty hilarious to watch sometimes. They do create drama for themselves haha << now this is true.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Still better than risperidone which makes me produce dairy like a moo cow while trembling liek micheal J fox. << wait you actually were speaking out of experience ?!
mircea_popescu: i suppose i wouldn't be in his shoes in the first place,. not having a tendency to get involved with scummy shit.
mircea_popescu: i still don't see what i could contribute, were i in the guy;s shoes and some third parties having had a bet
mircea_popescu: punkman is this the same matonis that got kicked out a while back and then went back in ?
mircea_popescu: which is unclear who'd be. vesseneess is an asshole i wouldn't take the word of anyway, and nobody else is in charge there.
mircea_popescu: im just saying, generally to find an individuals position with an organisation, you need anyone but him
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> The problem is the foundation is as solid as coco butter << quite.
mircea_popescu: what in the actual fuck, that's possibly the worst pr0n name i ever heard.
mircea_popescu: (beef here is still the best in the world, no arguments possible - and yes i've lived in texas etc)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well let's see. argentine beef is world famous. they managed to lose most of their exporting contracts on the purely economic grounds of not managing to meet their minimal quotas.
mircea_popescu: gernika im not so sure that colonialism -> tech transfer thing is worth anything.
mircea_popescu: nowadays... one wants to get on the board and this is presumed to make them a "director". over what ? heh.
mircea_popescu: well... the problem is deeper than that. they're already combating sense by changing labels. take the board of directors : one used to have tro be a director first to be on that board.
mircea_popescu: im not buying this "so they suddenly became greenhorns" argument.
mircea_popescu: "The three pilots in the cockpit had a combined 10,000 hours of flying time in the C-5, and were backed by two flight engineers with a combined 12,000 hours in the air. "
mircea_popescu: cazalla i am actually seeing a lot of merit in your position.
mircea_popescu: for all the retarded nitpicks that make their way into bitbet comments...
mircea_popescu: cazalla i find it distinctly riodiculous that nobody pointed this out prior.
mircea_popescu: maybe the result ios a "this website is merely informational" disclaimer. as if lol.
mircea_popescu: there wasn't a massive chicano diaspora at isabelle's court. how did mexico look /
mircea_popescu: imagiune there wasn't a massive african diaspora in the us. how would rhodesia have looked ?
mircea_popescu: gernika land in africa is just as valuable as land in the midwest, as far as land goes.
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah. right. so many punks grow up to be shadowlords.
mircea_popescu: (and by any measures it WAS a great nation. greater than say, that-time italy)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo interesting poin tre appleos stuff. i never followed it any so i had no clue.
mircea_popescu: that the only point at which anyone notices this is when a bitbet mod tries to close a bitbet bet.
mircea_popescu: s a funny testament to both his and their relative importance
mircea_popescu: im going to have that as a yes, sometime tomorrow. if anyone wants to make an argument... you got about a day.
mircea_popescu: and what did they do ? they went to reddit to call him names!
mircea_popescu: the women - which, by that time, were mostly prostitutes - all hated him for it,
mircea_popescu: he was a censor, and as a censor he had the authority to forbid luxury expenditures. which he did, by forbiding some types of textile, which were very expensive, all imported, and wore quickly.
mircea_popescu: decimation re heirloom items. anyone know who cato porcius was, and why he got that name ?
mircea_popescu: decimation point being the vultures in question'd have made good money out of it.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> don't forget the machines and their vendors. various parts with high-threes or low-fours 'MTBF', periodic mandatory maintenance, etc. - churn inventory. <<< would seem to contradict asciilifeform> u.s. presidential car is an infamous laughing-stock - broke down recently in england (?) and they had one hell of a time finding a shop that would attempt repair
mircea_popescu: meanwhile over here, i ran into a chamber minority leader (they have like six) in a coffee shop by the courthouse.
mircea_popescu: said no roman emperor after caracalla, for the very reason that made charlemagne great : he was nothing much outside of the chief of the guards.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> and even though the president has very little personal authority his underlings are more than happy to throw this security party because they each get a part << quite.
mircea_popescu: supposedly this is the most striking quality of a functioning harem.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` that's not it. a buncha fuctards have to be hosted somewhere, and they don't carry tents to camp in.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo oh but i am aware. and the reason i wake up so chipper & cheerful i nthe mornings is quite a large pile of this, where the oppressed have the key to their freedom in their hand and somehow omitted to going to school the day its use was taught.
mircea_popescu: (such as, the worst thing a contemporary president can do for a disaster area ? travel there.)
mircea_popescu: decimation the point is valid, and people with a clue ocasionaly make it
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why people keep thinking of it in terms of a sort of older us without tablets. it's so reactionary in fact it'd put medieval england to shame.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, rome did not have income tax, or consumption tax. it had a capitation, and some trade licensing fees.
mircea_popescu: (he once or twice got beat up pretty bad on account of it, too)
mircea_popescu: doesn't this much unknowing throw a hole in your rome model ?
mircea_popescu: this was predicated on them not knowing who he was, and furthermore, on him not knowing who they were.
mircea_popescu: i think this may be a flaw of modelling. consider this point : one of the ways nero got a bad reputation was through going out at night and assaulting random people in the street.
mircea_popescu: ie, more context of what you plan to use that definition for.
mircea_popescu: which means you're quite stuck. but perhaps if you had a question or some statement that could be tested or something ?
