to replace with founding member of GOP establishment.

there now, anyways.
mats: i grew up with a number of folks
that work
there

the actuality and
the pretense of it.
mats: idk what you're
talking about, certainly not a pervasive phenomenon
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that also yeah, but i kept it lowball. i guess 1.75+ counts for A+++ in
there.

the obnoxious habit of whining and no-no-no-ing etc.

this was pretty much
the only
thing keeping china from demographic collapse except in 1100 not in 1900 like barbarian europe.

the us sooner
mats: i've never been able
to wrap my head around
these
things, looks purely -ev but what do i know about economy anyways

there are a lot more 'confucius institutes' since i last checked

they wanna put random nobody on 20 dollar bill because female and black ? mkay.
mircea_popescu: punkman last i saw ~50% of pop made ~500 euros, but w/e,

the oppressor even on our money' and
the rest is 'why a black woman, now, and what happened
to
the refresh of
the $10 first?'
mircea_popescu: not necessarily surprising
they wouldn't print a lot
tho, what's most peopel
to do with
their salary in a single bill ?

to have a bank bitch when ordered
to deliver

the noise is from my network
that is like 5% white and weren't born in us
