mircea_popescu: i think it's a decent meme. "don't make me make you suffer the."
mircea_popescu: trinque yes but those weren't classified.
asciilifeform: it didn't ocr.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> lol. but why, aren't you in a blue state ? << "Blue" areas for some reason have shit voting infrastructure though "Blue" Politicians talk of making voting easier. Meanwhile in "Red" areas voting just works.
mircea_popescu: lol. but why, aren't you in a blue state ?
mircea_popescu: (if you don't understand who "alexandra erin" is, see http://archive.is/km1CJ <--> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-20#1469868 ). ☝︎
PeterL: I don't expect car insurance to be covered by my employer, why is health insurance different?
mircea_popescu: they can't hire more doctors, because they're already hiring all the doctors that exist.
Framedragger: (re. putin, can't see how one could disagree there)
mircea_popescu: lol. and what else, putin just didn't understand how the world works ?
mircea_popescu: so a) all their friends will think they're fucking a submarine AND b) they won't actually get torn cunts.
PeterL: right, those lean republican so they don't matter because they were already baked into the polls that they would swing trump
mircea_popescu: "oh, those don't count because trump won"
PeterL: prog: puts hands over ears "la la la I can't hear you, you racist!"
PeterL: but at least he hasn't had any sexual scandals come to light! (yet)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dun worry about it, they'll fix it later if the counts don't come out right
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i can't bridge the parallel in my mind.
mircea_popescu: college works exactly like greenspun memorialized : "the reason you are having trouble with this problem is because you aren't very smart and aren't woking very hard."
adlai: but iiuc combustion is a pretty total obliteration of chains. co2 isn't often referred to as 1,1-methandione, is it?
adlai: er that's not quite right either. confirming that i didn't spew nonsense into the internet reveals that, while cracking does describe part of the process of turning heterogenous crude into several homogenous smaller-chain hydrocarbons, it typically does involve breaking bonds
adlai would not object to the latter, given time and space to work; but doesn't think they make'em like that anymore?
ben_vulpes: "baby, we're well beyond 'middle class'. d'you remember how 'middle class' for our parents went? the 2 cars outside would be new, and we'd not be pent up in 800ft^2. parts of the country can't drink well water because 'fraking'. when is bad bad enough?"
mircea_popescu: don't worry ben_vulpes by the time you're as poor as mark twain's nigger called jerry, you'll be just as energetic and passionate i'm sure!
mircea_popescu: they STILL can't say "we blew it" can they.
mircea_popescu: not that there isn't a ton of these. but "mary elizabeth williams" lol. to quote, http://trilema.com/2013/queers/#selection-135.0-135.108
mircea_popescu: the reason blacks back then weren't intelligent and well spoken as now has to do with the cruel conditions in which they lived. back then, unlike now.
trinque: meanwhile every other search result was some barista crowing about what a man of the people to see such wisdom in a slave, and isn't this such an insight into the nature of *humans*
mircea_popescu: trinque that piece is particularly scandalous. imagine, the only writer worth two shits to ever crawl out of that god forsaken hole, not only a living testament to how smoking twenty cigars a day doesn't give you cancer ; but even daring to represent black slavery as a carefree life of exact equivalency to the shenanigans of today's barristas and waitresses with jezbel aspirations!
mircea_popescu: freedom of thought is indeed a luxury isn't it.
asciilifeform: dunno, if mr t on the throne, i could swallow the 'they got unplugged from control'
asciilifeform: now i dun work at diebold, but it is hard to picture that a mr t win is not regarded as 'societal seekoority threat' and as such not any more permissible than , e.g., 'pirate party' senator.
mircea_popescu: they can't cunt their toes.
asciilifeform: afaik, dead worlds aren't kept around anywhere else.
asciilifeform still does not fully grasp why the 'real americans' won't build concentration camps and put the folks who did this to them, inside.
phf: ben_vulpes: i don't know what you mean by "city water taxi", but this is what i imagine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDohpjD1jvA
a111: Logged on 2016-11-05 10:06 diana_coman: contest anyway; considering however that it was set for Halloween, I guess I'd go with "goriest" and therefore BingoBoingo should win; as a side, I must say I don't quite follow the point of "all possible positions expressed" since they were quite clear/obvious anyway;
BingoBoingo: Can't tell
asciilifeform: certainly not on lcd, which doesn't have phosphor decay
phf: asciilifeform: that was the case since forever, but they not only ensure that you can't apple from outside, they also ensure that you have to be on the upgrades bandwagon. with my 10.9.5 i'm running into things that "require newever version"
mircea_popescu: (kinda a large part of what is propelling the idiot parade - by now they've realised that in point of fact a fork is inevitable, what varies is the when. we can't carry the satoshi warts forward forever.)
mircea_popescu: anyway. if we were to bother with this we'd best fix all the other problems too, so the current miners wouldn't be able to mine trb anyway.
mircea_popescu: it isn't true, for one thing ; if it is true, however, the the separation is there.
mircea_popescu: it's really just building prb complexity for no benefit. i can directly pay to them, they can't pay to me without adding an intermediate step where they desegwit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's rather simple : i won't upgrade, this means i'm not recognizing segwit txn until they are bridged over.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure this isn't true.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you were right, dork didn't publish mah racist&divisive comment. a well!
mircea_popescu: amusingly, a 51% attack doesn't even have to skin the lamb. it can just fleece it (respend all the segwit coins up to point x, retroactively invalidating any txn that ever rely on their proceeds) AND THEN agree to "never to process counter txn" for the future.
asciilifeform: other than this, it is an elementary, kindergarten 'you can't eat money' observation
mircea_popescu: ah yes. if only state had a dozen whores on the ground in stevastopol in 2006, they wouldn't have been humiliated in 2014. or at any rate wouldn't have wasted bn trying to grow a child in nine weeks.
mircea_popescu: this is then a systematic reason, which a certain sort of esl anthropologist would call "cultural", but which can be readily brought back to money : because the only dollars they have can be used to pay rents, but they don't have the kind of bill that pays for engineers.
asciilifeform: same reason they don't hire competent, e.g., jet pilot, for sv startup
mircea_popescu: to some degree because some tasks are so idiotic the sane people wouldn't accept them for all the money in the workd. but then why do the tasks have to be that idiotic ?
mircea_popescu: so why didn't they ?
mircea_popescu: but really, they... couldn't ? obviously, in point of fact they didn't, and the assumption that didn't because couldn't is sound, but nevertheless, you can actually hire competent engineers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a complicated point that you bring. just how equal are the 7 77 and 777 ? consider - for all their money, rando "tech start-up" couldn't afford an engineer that didn't suck to do their w/e, database, sysadmining, w/e.
asciilifeform: because real-life market is more analogous to those old strategy games where you don't just need gold, but also 'mana' etc.
mircea_popescu: company's 50 bux can not buy a democrat posters, your 50 bux can, but they can't buy you a goat in afghanistan.
mircea_popescu: obviously it depends what you mean by "actual". if you mean nude object, then sure, any dollars that made their way to venus may be appreciated aesthetically by the venusians, and therefore they weren't really intrinsically chumpatronic. but in the system as it is, defined historically and therefore enclosed, it can be said the zil-buying ability is a paritcular property of rubles q rubles.
mircea_popescu: PeterL wouldn't he just move over to the next station for prolly more money ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile dollars as profits... can't be spent. they gotta be "realized" first ; which is a sterilizing gate (the sterilisation is called taxation for no sane reason, it's not a tax)
mircea_popescu: of course, most of this "money" isn't much more substantial than the imaginary fortunes of adolescents cycling through their fantasy business career after fapping and pre falling asleep. ☟︎☟︎
shinohai: I have forgotten the number of gospels that weren't accepted into the canon
mircea_popescu: (ie, soviets saw themselves as a national state, not as a mongrel empire. consequently population must be produced, can't be imported. consequently, all women must marry and bear 2.x children. consequently etc all the way down)
a111: Logged on 2016-11-05 15:22 mircea_popescu: epstein is one of many such squires, let's call them. the squire's estate consists of a brothel, which may be obv multiple physical locations but generally arranged in a star pattern, a harvesting operation, his connections to the democrat party (in this case via abedin-clinton-obama). he doesn't do his own marketing, the people running the whole thing do.
trinque: clitler was only ever going to be prosecuted if the hairdo gets into office. that hasn't changed.
mircea_popescu: then again, they mostly don't, just as soon as stole enough to take off they take off.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't, but then again what did they ever do that actually made their lives better ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose the point here is that it's insanely hard for system men to come to terms with the realisation that the system is doing more harm than good. after all if they believed that they wouldn't be in it in the first place. so they're bound, by the insane logic that castrates them,. to also believe that proclaiming clinton innocent actually helps her.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 15:34 mircea_popescu: i wouldn't hire a 70yo sales manager, why the fuck would i tolerate a 70yo politician ? go home.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't hire a 70yo sales manager, why the fuck would i tolerate a 70yo politician ? go home. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this "i can't fucking read" problem is getting worse ;/
mircea_popescu: right. why they don't use the actual words that exist for the purpose of describing the situation, "it's a kernel module", even should it be qualified with "ubiquitous" or whatever i haven't the slightest idea.
mircea_popescu: i ain't about to stand for it. the politicos get to pay per line for their existence. everyone else is free to say whatever the fuck. which is exactly why i'm not counting your snr, but i am counting his.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger lemme spell this out ; without prejudice to you personally, here's how things go : communication is either enligthening the inferiors or beseeching the superiors. there IS NO SUCH THING AS EQUALITY. not in nature, ain't found. it's true that people may opt to abstractly, exactly in the way of any other ~delusion~, deem each other equals, perhaps on the basis that look, yesterday i was the superior he was beseechi
trinque: diana_coman: "you don't do anything" -> "your mother is a whore"
mircea_popescu: i couldn't give less of a shit. the linked article is actually pretty good ; your categorical judgements don't interest me in the slightest, because in the five or so years you've been hanging around you did exactly nothing i can recall. anyone here can write a script to be you in an evening and that'd be the end of the matter.
Framedragger: unless it wasn't 'sudden' in the first place
Framedragger: i personally don't see how he is doing any worse in terms of snr as compared so some others. (e.g., myself; that's probably not an argument that is very favourable to me, but anyway). don't see why you are suddenly so fussed.
BingoBoingo: This must be the eye of the lulztorm. I can't wait until the wall hits.
trinque: next time link me something I haven't already seen!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-06#1563231 << if mr t were serious, he'd have a 'night of long knives' for these folks. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: apparently someone reading the logs got nervous as to whether they can or can't pull it off in a pinch.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes holy shit i didn't realise the retards are THAT dysfunctional.
mircea_popescu: so he fucked her to pregnancy, after which he tried to recall the husband, figurting he'd fuck her too and never know the difference. except the guy was having too much of a fun time with the other boys over in the barracks so he wouldn't come. so david had him killed (classical "behead the bearer of this letter" sorta thing) and married the woman.
mircea_popescu: and in today biblical study : david, the ever so wise king of the jews, got up one night with an itch. he walked around on his roof, and spied the poor wife of one of his soldiers, who was taking a bath in the middle of the night because with those nuts and their door manners it wasn't fucking safe to bathe in the daytime like normal people.
ben_vulpes: !~later tell pete_dushenski can't recall when you asked about my shitball, but 3.7 M so far
a111: Logged on 2016-11-05 13:32 mircea_popescu: "suciders" don't you know. that's totally how i'm going to list the dead usg agents if/when they actually get their balls in order and try a move : "here's a list of usg suiciders".
trinque: asciilifeform: aren't young adults better for organ harvesting?
phf: i suspect they are not necessarily framed as whores, there are layers of deniability there. k street parties will have girls, sourced from local sororities by enterprising promoters. it could be factored in the "price" of admission and if you're there it's for you. but you can also say that "oh i was there discussing business, i didn't much mind the semi naked drunk supermodels staggering about, for i'm a married man"
mats: i don't know that bill patronized whores, or his particular place in this scheme
mircea_popescu: because rarely they get to skim as much as 10% of a public works contract, this is from an economic perspective a much better deal. unfortunately it doesn't scale - but in the end days of the empire scale is the last of the concern of the scurrying rats.
mircea_popescu: and also the reason the local police don't much care for it. so they're (reluctantly) pushing back.
mircea_popescu: generally they don't maintain their own muscle, but rely on the krysha to force the local police depts into acting as muscle for them, which is a major centralizing effect of the scheme (historically this worked under the hand of the local police, providing THEM the revenues - as seen even today in eg argentina)
mircea_popescu: epstein is one of many such squires, let's call them. the squire's estate consists of a brothel, which may be obv multiple physical locations but generally arranged in a star pattern, a harvesting operation, his connections to the democrat party (in this case via abedin-clinton-obama). he doesn't do his own marketing, the people running the whole thing do. ☟︎☟︎
hanbot: "S.NSA is expected to realise operating revenue next period." << exciting bonbon in this month's s.nsa report. if FUCKGOATS didn't knock one's tongue out, anyway. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (and no i don't think this is a coincidence, i think they simply imported the serbian apparatus, physically when feasible, or else rebuilt from recipe the missing parts.)
mats: i don't even know what to make of this jeffrey epstein business
mircea_popescu: "suciders" don't you know. that's totally how i'm going to list the dead usg agents if/when they actually get their balls in order and try a move : "here's a list of usg suiciders". ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I don't think mine was that gory. All I did was create the necessary space for Elliot to die a bloody but natural death while also becoming a hero a Britain.
diana_coman: contest anyway; considering however that it was set for Halloween, I guess I'd go with "goriest" and therefore BingoBoingo should win; as a side, I must say I don't quite follow the point of "all possible positions expressed" since they were quite clear/obvious anyway; ☟︎
