BingoBoingo: The USG defense industry marketers have been getting right fucked by the Turks since they decided Turkey was good enough to make new things, but not buy old things
mircea_popescu: the problem being, of course, usg.blue then gets caught with pants down regularly, and well, such lulz ensue. "you want us to help you save your nukes now ? suck on this cock, dorks."
mircea_popescu: "conviction" of public person / functionary / official in orclands 100% "usg.blue interference" by now. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Then there's the whole S-400 versus Patriot Missile air defense decision the USG forced on Turkey and is still trying to do take backsies on.
asciilifeform found entertaining rumour, that usg has hurriedly moved nuke warehouse from turks to ro
mircea_popescu: if anyone recalls, at that time the intended republic-sponsored kegger party at the site of some anti-usg rebellion died over portland's apparent failure to produce beer & sluts under ben_vulpes 's direction. ☟︎
asciilifeform: if you had a non-usg-blessed wideband tuner, would hear'em
BingoBoingo: Well someone who wants a reich is easy to put on a USG.lolcow watchlist. Someone who identifies Obama as an animal risks getting sympathy from the folks employed reading USG watchlists.

mircea_popescu: speakinbg of which, anyone remember the set of "anti-bitcoin" tards grouped around usg.pantsuit office over at "something awful" going about talking of "bit-coin" as fucking if that did something ?
mircea_popescu: i guess usg got copy-right or some shit ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-14#1902498 << usg 'war of imagination' started looong before 2001. arguably in 1918 'prohibition'. ☝︎
asciilifeform: somehow, somehow! south kr did not turn into a mcd paraside of fast cars an' suburban picket fence, despite spreading legs for usg in '50s

asciilifeform: i wonder whether usg even bothers to ask ro 'democratic' apparatus when it feels like moving the 'aegis' batteries from place to place ☟︎
asciilifeform: no warheads -> not only no red carpet, but you get orders from washington transmitted through a leiah at usg dept of state , and not by going into white house.
nicoleci: true, im trying to get over my bitterness of all of the stolen time by the usg.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-15 00:29 mircea_popescu: pretty fine example of exactly why warren was so vocal (item was strictly a barony created so elizabeth warren could be barron OF SOMETHING). this cfpb item spent 55mn on "renovations" of its hq, ie more than the gsa spent that year on everything the usg owns ; spent immensely on travel (which is not something they do). the chairman is supposed to not be removable by the president except "for cause" (meanwhile that got strick
asciilifeform: prior to usg-engineered 'international' blockage, ~north~ was the industrial kr.
mircea_popescu: this is the truth pantsuit vehehehery carefully tiptoes around every time they're "discussing" usg's foreign policy outlay : usg is a chinese vassal, it has to ask for permission. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i expect it'll go approx like the at&t phone tap lawsuit -- usg invokes 'sovereign immunity' and that's it
BingoBoingo: And in this case the USG is decidedly handicapped when it comes to the "exhaust wallet with waiting" litigation strategy

asciilifeform: meanwhile, today's trilemalotto yields forth : http://trilema.com/2016/usg-in-btc-a-history-of-constant-failure/
mircea_popescu: which is how usg "prosecutor" doesn't have to explain why his office has lied ten thousand times in ten thousand courts.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i wonder what battle will the usg.gnu tards pick to fight us over. confiscation of gnat ? not yet ?
asciilifeform: ( iirc we had thread, re how ~100% of usg.psychopharma 100y consists of 'let's reimplement 2000 y.o. plant dopes in patentable form' )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: today. ( but naturally not classic opium, given as it cannot be patented, but usg.strange, and 'prescription' )
mircea_popescu: wouldn't it be ironic if that's the future, chinese-sponsored usg-"law"-immune extrateritorial teahouses in every county.
mircea_popescu: usg ~still~ has issues in pakistan over that doctor chick.
mircea_popescu: basically, the difference between you asciilifeform and chinese bureaucracy is that you're psychologically very dependent on teh usg.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-02#1900087 << possibly i'm thick, but i dunget why beijing doesn't catch a coupla dozen usg daughters and send'em to washington 1 finger at a time until the matter's resolved. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: ">USG uses printed money to dump Bitcoin" never mind that does the other thing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not enough age out cannon fodder left. They are filling up the USG tech jobs with their clearances.
asciilifeform: it's the traditional work for aged-out usg cannon fodder tho, for decades nao
asciilifeform: ^ re 'fyootoor of usg.polizei'
asciilifeform: 'no one has yet created body armor with air conditioning built in' << iirc this was actually commissioned during usg's iraq adventure. ( or at the very least, a golden toilet contract was issued for it, i have nfi what the accompanying theatrical prop looked like, and whether anyone bothered to produce )
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at mini-usg, "LordMPofTMSR Think of it as an intelligence test. That you're failing." JessicaShadow 24F Switch "That of itself is hilarious, considering I know exactly how smart I am, and how high my IQ is.
mircea_popescu: how does one distinguish the usg from this fat ugly but stupid older woman strutting about as if she's gonna decide how the money's spent ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the lulziest thing is how all these born-in-65-foss-blabla tards end up ALWAYS on the fucking forefront and speartip of usg.blue isms.
mircea_popescu: i can't recall the last time the eventual outcome had much to do with the us, tbh. i mean, syria obviously entirely unrelated to any usg claim to agency. but it's not clear their last victory did anything meaningful to iraq ; certainly never budged either korea or vietnam. the euros are exactly where they'd have been had germany won ww2. and so following.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: supposedly whole usg orchestra, inc rooftop sniper brigade, already in colombia waiting for marching order

mircea_popescu: though if memory serves intel mkt dept had internal proposal to "usg pronounces pentium right, everyone changes bookeeping to suit it"
mircea_popescu: apparently if you sign up to star in one usg.blue production, you're stuck doing all the sequels also.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo found it http://trilema.com/2016/usg-in-btc-a-history-of-constant-failure/#selection-39.0-39.51 << ☟︎
asciilifeform: usg as early as in 1980s very muchly disliked the existence of multi-vendor high-perf cpu. was too hard to keep from being sold to untermenschen, see.
asciilifeform: usg.dept-of-microshit systematically exterminated all the sane archs in late '90s. arm was introduced (from pile of shit 'acorn' in uk) as an 'unprincipled exception' , for pnojeism, which -- try as one might -- dunwork so much on x86 w/ any battery anybody's yet devised
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in lulz http://trilema.com/2016/sad-times-in-the-fiat-empire-apparently-you-cant-give-the-dollar-away-these-days/ : bitcoin's still capped at 21mn (pantsuit still claiming this is bad) ; usg's confetti just passed 22... quadrillion or some shit (pantsuit still claiming that 1. it is capped and 2. nothing to be worried about -- not even self-contradiction). http://www.usdebtclock.org/ has some tickers.
asciilifeform: arguably intra-reich lateral move tho, jp is sad usg colony for many yrs nao.
mircea_popescu: and so various execs in nominally "private" usg state entreprises.
mircea_popescu: and so on, this constant up AND DOWN the tree calling paradigm recreates c++, java and usg necessarily.
mircea_popescu: it very well fucking is not. it's not even remotely as important. having usg.cmu or usg.anything-else spew on actual literature is nothing short of vandalism. i don't want their grafitti, and i don't care why they think they're owed it.
BingoBoingo: In undergrad when Bush 2 was President my roommates and myself experimented with all sorts of "not torture" USG tech
mircea_popescu: very much the unifying thread of http://trilema.com/2018/hey-women-did-you-know-that-before-the-pantsuited-hilarity-gave-you-your-civil-rights-you-were-living-in-slavery/ and tlp's "hey x people, did you know you hate y people ?" usg.media model.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-08 18:39 mircea_popescu: actually, thinking about it : there was a hysterical poster of 1990s vintage, produced of romanians mocking the blown away reaction of ameritards on contact with romanian workplace mat. because yes, in ro the way to discuss the boss among workers is "that cocksucker", and the customers are very much "those insufferable morons" and so following. but in usg, the manner to address systematic problems is trhough minutia, and so i

asciilifeform: it is even rumoured that usg is pouring printolade into fischer-tropsch , a la the ~prev~ reich
asciilifeform: i suppose in 1 sense 'succeeded', iirc principal eater of nd magnet was ye olde mech hdd. tho i dunthink the rise of ssd had any to do with usg idjicy, only w/ korean coolies slaving in 4 shifts
mircea_popescu: the sheer unmitigated gall to announce "they identified and sponsored". what the fuck's it supposed to do, i identified a need for more sluts and sponsored the creation thereof at two bits a titpair. what, usg,dea is better than me or something, is the hallucination here ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the usg.'youth' eagerly and w/out much massage swallow the 'you have Great Ideas!11' idjicy ( where reality is 'yer a not-yet-dry lemon to squeeze' )
asciilifeform: i get away with it here, mostly, but usg.prof prolly not .
mircea_popescu: then again, 0 apparent awareness of the tmsr -> usg relationship is as fine a symptom as can be had, to the best of my knowledge.
asciilifeform: presumably not so seekrit that it being perma-hosted by usg loc blows it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ftr i quite like the ancient pre-trilema, if you still have whole thing somewhere would be pretty great to read it off proper www, rather than usg's archive
asciilifeform: ( as if ~any~ db belonging to a usg.corp were or could be anyffin other than a usg.db )
asciilifeform: funnily enuff, this one is (standing next to the others) ~honest~ : immediately admits 'we're usg front an' proud, heil clitler' vs the competing shops who pretend, thinly , to somehow not
mircea_popescu: russkis bothered with it ~specifically~ to exploit usg's shocking cuntitude as a superlative of weakness and for no other imaginable reason.
asciilifeform: it's 1 of those brit-empire algos the current derps 'inherited' (brits packed it in india but left behind a pakistan; usg , then, in germany (standing), korea (standing), vietnam (oops), taiwan (standing), etc
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 07:34 mircea_popescu: the problem is, cartels not particularly impressed with usg these days. all was needed to keep assad in power was russia, but a colombia-venezuela-mexico wondertriangle is a lot easier defended.

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> lol what die. i dunget the whiners, either, what sorta office inmate wouldn't kill for month of vacation ( even unpaid ) << Maduro's Venezuela has some pretty sweet beaches now forbidden to USG.blue according to intel.
mircea_popescu: looking into the intro/outro derpitudes, it looks like the nobus-encryption afficionados in usg.blue that survived the clinton era are looking to build "scientific basis" for ulterior nonsense.
asciilifeform: recall that huawei was usg.fatwa'd for konsoomer pnoje also ( presumably logic is, 'ohnoez, even tards no longer want to buy ipnoje with 0 buttons and $2k price -- wat do? let's try banning all competition' )
BingoBoingo: Anyways, US-Vzla diplomatic relations have been cut. USG.BLUE has 72 hours to get out.
mircea_popescu: poor usg.blue with its inept http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767545 "experts" ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the recent history of Vzla is informative with respect to the US's future, competing with Argentina. As recently as the 1990's Vzla was a rich Germany. Chavez cut it down into a starving Ukraine. Maduro heard the people asking for more socialism and is giving them exactly what they want. Now USG is set to make a Somalia.

BingoBoingo: Not to mention Columbia.Nato.USG is a pop song, Vzla is south america, and Paraguay of all fucks is Mexico's competition for dubious honor of #1 weed exporter
mircea_popescu: the problem is, cartels not particularly impressed with usg these days. all was needed to keep assad in power was russia, but a colombia-venezuela-mexico wondertriangle is a lot easier defended. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: And yes, every contact still in Vzla has been warned shit can go from sucking to really sucking if NATO columbia and new empire Brasil halps USG.Blue in the triple team after Maduro sinks arecraft carriers with missile he bought not feeding losers
