phf: she did the vampire chronicles, with the most famous one being interview with the vampire
mircea_popescu: which one is that again ?
mircea_popescu: older derps go for crapolade a la "bridges of madison country" ; socially awkward derps go for a spectrum between "ER" and "sex in the city" ; younguns watch ineptitudes more varied.
mircea_popescu: anything with kirsten wiig , enjoy. you'll thank me later :D
mircea_popescu: chick lit : "romance" g-g-b type settings, where the bff g is entirely castrated ; procedurals of various types ; "romance" of the fish-out-of-water and other exotica type ; "suffering" type.
asciilifeform: i realize now that i have never actually seen a chicklit.
mircea_popescu: yeah, minus the industry. they only kept the "jobs", which anyone has and as best as anyone can discern, consist entirely of paychecks. ☟︎
asciilifeform: minus the industry
asciilifeform: it was a thing.
mircea_popescu: of course, they have chick lit, which is pretty much the same thinger.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-24 20:44 mircea_popescu: i kinda got a hankering for the old "young female is sent to be nurse/teacher/whatever at remote village, discovers and falls in love with local tractor driver" films.
phf: or for that matter trying to power through ars amatoria in search of wisdom relevant to talking to girls :D
phf: kids with their internets will never find the joy of finding racy chapters in the "The Great Library of Foreign Literature (unabridged special edition)"
phf: other one was exchanged amongst latin reading classmates in the original
phf: i feel like that one resonates in some ru translation, тебе, смиритель рейна
mircea_popescu: what about tibi summe rheni domnitor ?
phf: hehe, i remember that one because of the refrain, "ole, quid ad te"
mircea_popescu: "pedicatur eros, fellat linus ; centenis futuit matho, milibus. ole, quid ad te ?"
mircea_popescu: martial ftw, owns both their asses.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, Pete prolly would have archived the old bets by nao. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: pretty odd if you think about it.
BingoBoingo: And the new ownership still has yet to do anything with BitBet
ben_vulpes: proxy for all sorts of thing, but the entertainment comes from contrasting that bit of information with public comportment
ben_vulpes: relatedly, i get a kick out of learning which 'business owners' keep seperate books for tax and internal accounting and which do not.
mircea_popescu: [incidentally, saying that some vory ACTUALLY ENJOYS fucking some mary in the ass would have been a pretty serious insult]
mircea_popescu: they do, but their relations are about sensuality rather than power.
phf: (i was amused because i thought you were saying that usians don't even have a bitch-track in prison)
mircea_popescu: lafond's entire blog is all about this, "look one and all, come and gaze upon the incredibru frozen shitball - the more you work it, the soft it gets!"
mircea_popescu: thugs and muggings, at the hand of either white dudes dressed in blue or black dudes dressed in those weird ankle pants they wear.
ben_vulpes: what has been "working" the ustards?
mircea_popescu: numbers can win any contest, provided work-hardening is on the table. but if the material doesn't work-harden, there's no hope in numbers. au contraire.
mircea_popescu: obviously, softer material than their persecutors
mircea_popescu: phf by suka i meant specifically, the set of stalin-pardoned thieves
phf: which after a while was adopted into argot as a term for a passive homosexual
phf: but my specific use in text comes from the fact that su thieves were using that kind of forms of popular girl names to address their male bitches
mircea_popescu: and since we're on it... tachanka... tanklet. ☟︎
phf: right, that's basically enough to explain images
mircea_popescu: romanian does the same thing, through a wide array of diminutives.
mircea_popescu: the reason the images are so lulzy (mostly in the dumb blonde line) is because without further explanation, it can readily be "dumb girl mary"
phf: Man'ka is a form of Man'ya is a form of the name Maria
phf: ben_vulpes: russian has a way to modify words from more formal to less formal using more or less standard rules for changing the root and adding suffixes
deedbot: [Daniel P. Barron] On the killing of children. - http://danielpbarron.com/2016/on-the-killing-of-children/
phf: google images produces all kinds of amazing pictures if you search for that wor
mircea_popescu: but no, dumb as bricks these people.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, think from the other perspective : if you were a moderately powerful producer, what the fuck ELSE would you do than exactly this, trying to cash in some holywood clout for some underworld connections ?
mircea_popescu: i know, factually, they exist. they aren't depicted. why not ? "they wouldn't sell ?" gimme a break ?
mircea_popescu: consider, where are all the hollywood movies depicting in painstaking detail the lives of the poor tynisha ysais and her boyfriend(s) who offer her sexual services to friends as a matter of course ? where's the dom com about this set of social security cowsies kept by ex highschool footbal kid ? etc ?
phf: hah, they can't can they. su thieves maintained that support infrastructures of манька's for own purposes, but that's not really a feature of u.s. prison system. i've not actually thought of that
shinohai: Says he was offered a job by spooks to do blockchain analysis
mircea_popescu: mind issuing short summaries for the ... most everyone whop's not gonna click on twitter ?
shinohai: https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/724346457696907264 <<< lulz, Peter TOdd
mircea_popescu: not like they can cut themselves a path anywhere. today's jews, like 1930s' jews, are headed where the jews go.
mircea_popescu: not like they can cut themselves a path in jail, suka-style.
mircea_popescu: but yes the fundamental truth behind the propaganda is exactly this cold reality : "nobody wants you, middle class america." tis true, too.
mircea_popescu: a once-in-a-culture thing
mircea_popescu: i honestly expected he'll blow off the charts, he was incredibly talented as a young man
phf: i knew a handful of skinheads in russia through sambo and while i don't share their views i find the movie preposterous. an urban intelligentisa play-believes a tough guy, gets raped, cries and repents.
phf: i liked norton until american history x, and i'm glad you wrote a teardown. what a shitty movie.
phf: probably why inglorious basteds degenerated into slapstick, tarantino was trying to say something about cinema, propaganda and art and couldn't get the conclusion he wanted
mircea_popescu: (also the compete explanation offered privately as to why say pacino is an actor, and norton is a nobody : showed up at wrong time.)
mircea_popescu: this being also the argument as to cinema not being art.
phf: it's like best periods in cinema are also effective propaganda, and whatever continues is made by directors who honed their art during propaganda period or else it's унылое говно
phf: come to think of it american 80s movies
mircea_popescu: the italians had a very similar thing going in the 50s as a result of the state planned "cinecita" in rome. il uomo delle stelle, famously, or stuff like cari fottutissimi amici more obscurely.
BingoBoingo: China still reacting MP's joke about moving there from last year http://chinalawtranslate.com/nsed/
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure more moscow children were born in the ural as a result of that cinema push than for any other reason.
mircea_popescu: phf yeah, those were mostly the glory days of soviet cinema, truck caravans with projectors embedded touring the country like a sort of circus act on steroids. the latter "tour bus" / "cocksucker blues" us star worship stuff but a pale copy.
mircea_popescu: i've not been able to locate it, perhaps because i can't remember any words.
mircea_popescu: does anyone happen to remember that [chinese i think it was ?] one where the culmination was some sort of productive inefficiency at a truck depot driven by gate congestion, so The Rebel backed up his truck into the compound wall tearing it down like straw (apparently back then the chinese trucks weren\t made out of tin foil) and making a new gate ?
phf: my great grandmother called those movies агитка
mircea_popescu: at the time they were of course insufferable, but in the current context they're some of the better parodies available.
mircea_popescu: i kinda got a hankering for the old "young female is sent to be nurse/teacher/whatever at remote village, discovers and falls in love with local tractor driver" films. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo> Cucking on Steroids https://archive.is/wxoti <<< "my wife and i are anything we wish to pretend like we are. here's why we are currently pretending to be 'white evangelicals' while still transparently being redditard lefties : we're too dumb to realise a world outside of our head exists, and are perfectly happy to live on words."
jurov: if i did that... i would not be doing anything anymore quickly
jurov: and no, i can't release assets to users every time mpex order vanishes without reason
asciilifeform: see mega-p4p3r 'How to find smooth parts of integers' (Bernstein) .
asciilifeform: gotta wait for the lot.

a111: Logged on 2016-04-22 16:38 asciilifeform: it is to be a massive batch factor thing.
BingoBoingo: "When we met with the NEDC, we were again faced with the question of what ethnicity we would choose for our adopted embryos. We wanted additional siblings to feel connected to our first two children racially, and asked the team at the NEDC if we could be matched with African-American embryos."
mircea_popescu: whatever you call the non-us people these days, i think it's not niggers anymore, maybe.
mircea_popescu: no it's good like fluoride, strengthens teeth
BingoBoingo: ^re: dreamer tanks
deedbot: [Qntra] Failing Radioactive Waste Tanks At Hanford Site Put Pacific Coast On Edge - http://qntra.net/2016/04/failing-radioactive-waste-tanks-at-hanford-site-put-pacific-coast-on-edge/

mircea_popescu: mackensen was staying in bucharest at the time.
mircea_popescu: letter to mackensen, part of romanian folklore.
phf: is that same interview or elsewhere?
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, this wilhelm being the original architect of the holocaust - not only by proposing that the correct response to "the nuisance" would be an all-worlds (ie, new and old) pogrom "a la Russe", but even by indicating gas!)
mircea_popescu: oh i forgot, the irish slaves don't count, it's only congo that's on the vip list.
phf: have to be this shade percentage to qualify
mircea_popescu: alf's picture on the cover ?
phf: first hit for "telegraph archive umd" gives http://lib.guides.umd.edu/c.php?g=326561&p=2197286 "slavery in maryland" since you guys appreciate that sort of snark
asciilifeform: copyrast back-catalogues have ~same relation to the actuality as 'winamp' playlists had to '90s w4r3z.
mircea_popescu: phf to me that seems very much bait-and-switchy. if i were to judge, it'd make me guess they do not have it.
phf: i think google newspapers archive comes from their library digitizing project, so quite possible that the copy is not easily accessible. this telegraph archive gives the bit as "highlight" so they are perhaps aware of their position
asciilifeform: actually simpler than you think. most of the microfilm in american libs was supplied from just a few reproduction houses, and they in turn, from the orig publisher
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol, yeah, maybe someone cut a hole in that day's edition all over the world. suddenly we have a whole mystery novel on our hands
mircea_popescu: "oh no, it is so valuable FOR HUMAN THOUGHT!!!1!!1 what will we do if it goes away"
