thestringpuller: Another good one is

thestringpuller: Funny story. My last semester in school, I was walking to my goto pub. These chicks are crossing the street right? One of them pukes on the light post. Her friends help her stand a little. Then after the light changes she continues walking

mircea_popescu: anyway, i gotta admit the "democracy" drivel is nothing if not incredibly flexible. can be spread on bread
as "science not cults!!11", can be spread on bread
as "say no to silly (orly?) power games and ~~~sycophancy~~~" because if you call male independence the bad word it'll totally stick, men are really just a bunch of women that deeply care about labels like that. can obviously be spread

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the "restrict mining market" thing,

☝︎ mircea_popescu: ~ darker than the gypsies (slaves, at the time), you spent years begging around here, you, well received yet failed to profer
as much
as thanks. we fed you bread and salt (i dunno, it's a romanian thing) and wine from our ample cave, but when the morn came you took a shit in the flowerbed, laughing. then through thousand year old forests walked to no apparent benefit (literally, for love of the ho), and so there you see : no

as much surface area of c/c in the matrix
thestringpuller:
As chappelle once said, "You can't just choke all your problems away. It takes hard work."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, my point was more along the lines of - books being dead. grant

as a succession of gpg-signed promises.
mircea_popescu: incidentally : someone writing a tex processor for serenity (ex mp-wp) themes that shinohai can then just import
