they can lowball applicants because
they believe
there is still a surplus of qualified candidates.
mircea_popescu: dude... fuck delusional "courts bans". no court has
the power
to prevent public communication OF ANYTHING.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i can only speak here
to clarify certain misgivings about my friend. or i will violate
the publication ban as it all links
together."
mircea_popescu: and i barely see
the point of
this discussion as we are not allowed by operation of law
to discuss many relevant points
to
the story. i
think you could discuss much without including any name. but it does not show
the why of allan filing and
trying
the way he does. if i was him i would have no faith in
the courts at all.
mircea_popescu: nge
that. i was actually
there. i will say i have seen no judge, crown, or family services member with
the best interest of
the children in mind (in
this case). and
that is a hard fact.
mircea_popescu: "i can only say so much for a few reasons. first allan is my friend. we dont agree on many points but
this does not mean i care
to make any assumptions about his beliefs on law and governance or his personal life. second
there is a publication ban on

there is nothing anyone will write here
that will cha
mircea_popescu: sorta like in
the early colonies it was ok
to say "tomatoes are poisonous" and nobody was supposed
to notice
that "Eating off lead plates because you wanna be as cool as

mircea_popescu: but somehow it is ok
to say "the presence of whores promotes disease", but conventionally not ok
to say "the presence of courts promotes vexation".
mircea_popescu: OF FUCKING COURSE
the courts created
the vexatious. what else created it, basil plants ?
mircea_popescu: he even
tried
the lawyer route for
the sake of
the children but
the families could not afford it for long."
mircea_popescu: "agreed. i like allan as a friend.
to meet him you would probably like him
too. he isnt nuts in general like many are. i have sat in on a few court dates
that cant be brought up on here. allan and his family got shafted.
that put al in a hard spot and drove his
theories
to what we have now.
there was no reason for his kids
to be
taken. if
there was i would gladly say so. in a way
the courts created allan
the vexatious.

they all had billions in ipad poker money and got some sort of bonus or whatever for inviting new players.

the same problem as catan : bad rng
mircea_popescu: so we all sat

danielpbarron: what is
the unit of account here? argentine funny money?
danielpbarron: i squeaked out a victory against 2 people and a bot last night; came down
to dueling knight cards, and I had more :D
danielpbarron: and on

the 'Catan' app after my brother showed me
this board game. It's notbad.jpg

the soviet equivalent, "oh, so you got kicked out of your party commission
thing ? no, you can't have a job. because fuck you,
that's why"
mircea_popescu: this whole "overqualified"
thing is a very peculiar usg instrument of lizardlet punishment.
mircea_popescu: "After more
than 20 years as an electronics engineer, Pete Edwards reached
the low six-figure pay level. Now, as he looks for a job following a layoff, he finds

the notion of "pvp" has been perverted into "pick a
