mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, well, certainly the first pretentious. lots and lots of stone soups in the history of human poverty.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you're aware, but such a thing isn't even supposed to be possible, and certainly not likely. so what do you do for a living ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, in ro it's approx "papier mache" in the direct. ie, indistinct glue and crap used to make cheap theatrical decors.
mircea_popescu: and since we're doing words, might also propose the great "butaforie" (ru бyтaфopия).
mircea_popescu: ie, i didn't ~invent~ it, i simply went through my lateral vocabulary picked something.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i hadn't even noticed that. i dun think i ever actually watched it that far in. srsly Mocky, it's a somewhat common term in hacker culture. esp the ru set.
mircea_popescu: the problem with it is how very fucking feminine it is. IT IS THE GIRLS!!!! that are supposed to spend hours in the mirror with the colored things, "getting ready", all the while mulling over in their mind how they're getting raped later on and how it'll go and so on.
mircea_popescu: not sure why, not like i specifically expected her to be successful. they're where they are because not very intelligent, not for other reasons.
mircea_popescu: actually, she got excited, was gonna help the boys get out of idiocy, but then she didn't manage and never came back.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the ~idea~ was to name it something that'll make it impossible for the idiots to ~even think about it~.
mircea_popescu: was it mine ? in that case absolutely not related, i definitely only heard of the alfred thing after you said something.
mircea_popescu: much like europe nearly drowned in the mongol invasion ; but europe very much wasn't inca, but polar opposite.
mircea_popescu: but yes, they thought they're the bees' knees', got wiped by the ~marginal~ elements of an onslaught. they weren't even fucking central.
mircea_popescu: look up its history sometime, it's instructively amusing. (no, "progress" and "change" and blablabla avatars of rooseveltian socialism aren't in any sense NOVEL. they're fucking ancient, reversion to pre-literate society.)
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815470 << inca was the first slave empire. (here, "slave" is the republican term of art, not the imperial term of art. it denotes something akin to "everyone living in socialism" or "the products of a bureaucratic state", the guys populating 1984.)
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815467 << kalash, short for the ak-47, denotes a cheap and effective weapon. it is specifically designed for effective mass production ; and to whitstand intensive field use in burst mode. whenever an item has the "task at hand and no shits given" spirit, it stands the kalash metaphore.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: unting+of+their+foul+acts+and+opinions+before+the+world+must+stop%22 ploy, ie, "pick a mommy among our number, and we'll produce where she says you're notgood.jpg" ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, btw, i'm curious : has your fish friend figured out the "He admits he cannot name one other Christian leader outside his own little band of followers—anyone who has lived in the two millennia between the death of the last apostle and the advent of Darwin Fish—who has remained faithful to the truth." bla bla bla "criticism" is very strictly a
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22there+was+a+limit+where+the+fla ☟︎ mircea_popescu: "This is not a guide to a correct Eulora build on Windows. It’s the story of how someone did it while knowing virtually nothing about the tools, language or project. For all I know, it’s the worst way to do it that ends up working. " << i really like how this dood's mind is organized.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and i'm pretty sure the realization is spreading faster than they are. why would anyone bother to "keep the populace content" in 2018 ? to what exactly, get type A twitter storms ?
mircea_popescu: it's not so much that "the shelves are empty". it's that the shelves aren't worth filling. not for these dorks.
mircea_popescu: the sooner the spare fucktards understand nobody wants them, the better for everyone.
mircea_popescu: unlike me, dogs generally think it's worth their time to eat shit.
mircea_popescu: but in general, the surest way to ensure the deepest level of hatred that can be summoned in any situation is to pretend to things outside purview. dumbos claiming to be "presidents" etc just about do it.
mircea_popescu: you're too nice, yo. the 2nd line in the "trust, but verify" cuneiform manual is "answer the door, answer, but with nailed club."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, approximately ha-xā-ma-ni-š. "friendly minded"
mircea_popescu: might be an idea to use a trace of the dood's face. he has an epic "wut ?" face imo.
mircea_popescu: pretty interesting device in light of how the current empire works. it's a wonder they didn't discover "it wasn't hillary that lost, but a different hydra of the same name"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, i ended up with a lot of cuneiform syllabusing because check this out : the principal trick of darius was to pretend the person he deposed ~wasn't~, actually, the person they claimed to be. ie, nebuchadnezzar morphed to an impostor (Nedintu-something), bardiya (brother of legitimate persian king) was really "gaumata" etc etc.
mircea_popescu: (original name of ye olde persian empire, the thing the greeks fought/emulated, cyrus' creation.)
mircea_popescu: kinda how google showed "free inbox space" on gmail for a while.
mircea_popescu: be sure to make a point of pointing out this is true allocated fs space, as most everyone sells a number but delivers a best effort
mircea_popescu: if one thing can be done with machine-powered text classifiers, is discovering just how utterly uninteresting 10`000 articles on feminist-daily nonsense outlet actually are.
mircea_popescu: well, still is. that's the part the dweebs rarely understand : trilema is 10k articles that are as interesting today as they ever were. they imagine just because nobody looks for 2015 huffington post in 2018 and no other sites have the sort of size trilema does besides "news" outlets, that such a thing dun exist. but it does exist -- the bugs luv the blackbody radiations.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall exactly how it was done ; but all trilema was google indexed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you could of course put in ye olde mp-wp page limiter, and give all the boecks a very sad surprise.
mircea_popescu: not everything has to be monetized. though of course considering how you'd do it is just about mandatory.
mircea_popescu: i thought he was just done explaining how he didn't like surprises. wanna go for a round yourself ?
mircea_popescu: imo the former is a bad move. the 2nd is nb, but meh. someone will go steal someone's popsicle and random posturing dork will go "conspiracy!!!" and i won't care but you'll have to either shoot a "judge" or talk to him.
mircea_popescu: if only artists weren't thoroughly illiterate, we could like, have one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, phuctor is kinda deliberately designed to not be a "only us" item. so what can you do.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mod6, we were talkign about the cocks being sucked in corners bdsm club thing.
mircea_popescu: but generally it's not "things you couldn't do at home" ; but "things you can't be arsed to do at home"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the ssh key thing. "pay some dough, have the capacity to add ssh keys"
mircea_popescu: ie, don't discover that a guy who's there at your pleasure is sitting on arms all day long contemplating roaches climb the walls because ~i point it out~, don't be surprised by the attentand morale issues.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815103 << understand though that the only reason they're surprising is because they weren't handled either properly or in time. there's a lot of leeway in how surprising the sort of predictable surprises are, by being what's called "proactive"
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, "but i think 20 shell accounts and 100 lower-end ftp-only accounts is probably the max" << on what basis ? deductive approach from lack of experience ?
mircea_popescu: well, so they'll fuck people's public_html for them, it's how "don;'t take over box plox" works.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815082 << i was able to find (after A LOT of expert searching, it is true) furnished apts conveniently located for all the girls ; didn't end up paying much of anything upfrtont either (they wanted a month's rent, i was paying quarterly anyway, so it sorta went away). gotta talk to "the people" (=dueno) though, "agencies" aren't so useful. but there's a 5% of the population that makes ends m
