mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don'
t get it, so like, "electric car recharging" ? in the sense that i'd whitelabel it off him ?
mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:158/to:158#158 << it's not clear to me what "clim support" does for a website ; i am certainly not going to expend marketing resources on some item i don'
t own. this last bit is particularly pernicious, incidentally - is this clim thing even breaking the law ? why the fuck am i supposed to confuse a bunch of usg-tools for my own men ?
gabriel_laddel: The tardstalks who put the "commercial support" section on the McCLIM website at the very end of a page for developers (lol:
https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/involve) will probably take several months to organize. They don'
t english very well, and someone who does will have quite the advantage.
mircea_popescu: to clarify mod6 : the boiling in tomato juice is a joke/throwback to the old days, when this was the way to dispose of flexible disks (esp the 5 inch ones), where the magnetic zone stands on some cheapo plastic. hard drives haven'
t used that style of platter for many years now, it's usually doped glass these days. boiling that doesn'
t do much of anything, but you can just crack the platters with a hammer/wrench whatever.
mircea_popescu: laugh all you want at the lamp shitstack, but you can'
t take down qtra via wget
mircea_popescu: they don'
t wash, fine, but she can'
t believe they don'
t own any ming hats!
mircea_popescu: bonus points, what got her mind blown wasn'
t the team of dorks with nary a clue, but that "no one had a whiteboard session". cuz gotta be chinese, what.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: last point (for now): if you skim the comments you'll also notice the softening of libtard revulsion to wealth and an acceptance of their lowly station in life. before our very eyes we're seeing an increased appreciation for the 'my mother isn'
t your mother' reality. the libtard dream of 'every trainflake can do anything' is dissolving in broad daylight. it's pretty glorious.
pete_dushenski: namely in that even if it's an investment for ~you~, you also recognise that the market probably doesn'
t agree with your sentiment, nor could it, nor do you care if it does.
mircea_popescu: honeslty i was expecting the same thing. the fuck do i care about w/e that was, i can'
t even recall. some athlete ?
pete_dushenski: it would be easy. For once the good guys won. The hellholes will remain hellholes without Olympic glory, at least for another four years. That’s good enough for me." << can'
t have too much calling out of vain, vapid sandnigs.
mircea_popescu: because she exists, therefore she has a voice. because she has a voice, therefore she has something to say. don'
t blame the victim!
mircea_popescu: woman "is liberated" so she should get job, right ? she should be respected, right ? he's a liberal, don'
t forget. he thinks the girls should flock to him because he exists, and because he "never agreed to" they not flocking to him. and similarly buildings - once he decided they should fall down, THEY SHOULD FALL DOWN.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think you understand how the cruel world works.
mod6: my little host isn'
t very fast, either. which could be the main bottleneck.
mircea_popescu: "the palestinians" don'
t want to level tel aviv anymore than temper tantrum child wants to stop breathing. they just like to pretend this want to get mommy-intl community to want to spring for a new bmw.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo if he could show his wee wee to people he wouldn'
t have the problem in the first place.
BingoBoingo: "We somehow weren'
t reading the same text or somesuch, I don'
t seem to recall any bullying going on at Taft. Elliot is hereby docked one bullying claim." << Similarly he referred to his ass kicking as bullying when it was merely the result of little bitch drinking above his station.
mircea_popescu: what you';re stuck doing in those places is what happened to eg poor lawsky, and others : you are stuck proving to the tools that their state can'
t protect them. which is why the mexican cartels spent a while beheading "high ranking police officials".
mircea_popescu: the behaviour is universally called "corruption" in the state-owned press. because they loathe it. but whenever you close an economic circle with the tools of the state against or in spite of the state, you win. which is why i always bribe trafic cops, and don'
t even live in places where people generally don'
t.
mircea_popescu: and finally : your acts as described build towards that future. you HELPED the state gain larger control over the cops at that small preceinct. because now, whenever the state compes up with some dumb shit, the middle cop will be "we ain'
t gonna do this are we ?" and the older cop, thinking of you sad lot, will say "yeah we gotta, otherwise there'll be some ipad kids in here complaining".
Framedragger: besides, the cops as force decoupled from very shitty state != the cops as they currently exist. i don'
t trust the fucking state to manage them, and next time i write about how shit it is i don'
t want to expect a buncha these dudes to break in and "teach me a lesson in being putin spy by criticizing our great country".
mircea_popescu: the other is that it is the job of the police to distribute violence. if you don'
t let them beat up thieves, and cover them in red tape, they'll just get frustrated ; that frustration will keep boiling and boiling and eventually you'll end up with the us situation, which is to say no real cops (a cop is always and everywhere a BEAT cop! that's police work. naught else.) and a bunch of derps hoping to be SWAT. and again you ge
mircea_popescu: one that submission ~shouldn'
t~ be encouraged. so what if he didn'
t resist ? fuck him. if you make a difference by "did he resist", the life lesson you teach thieves (ie, everyone poor, which is how this goes) is that submission is a valuable trait. then you get unfucked women and usg-style government.
mircea_popescu: yet this kid fails at the fail! he can'
t even do the thing you're not supposed to be doing because "it's easy, you'll do it later, got better things to do now"
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: "Here" being the good 'ol USG and it's tentacles. Isn'
t the pop culture start up nothing but pump and dump? Founder talks up a big idea. Gets lots of money for it. Pumps up the bubble as big as possible then exits and lets bagholders deal with "profitibility" etc. <<
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-28#1530787 ☝︎ mircea_popescu: as to first, i don'
t think anyone can seriously argue that present day us has anything to do with the historical item that won ww2. as to second, now is flexible, 5 years,
Framedragger: god damn it. i wanted to check how limnoria does irc reconnect, and it starts out with a nice SupyReconnectingFactory(ReconnectingClientFactory, drivers.ServersMixin). which doesn'
t necessarily mean a bad thing, but is in sharp contrast to trinque's short code. lol.
mircea_popescu: and don'
t even fucking "oh i'll v them later". the whole point of v is to teach you how to code like a sane person.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: wait, you mean rewriting references to log lines in your (e.g.) blog? understand, i didn'
t retrospectively import *past* logs into the viewer yet. (but i will, now.)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger ok, don'
t bother, i'll just re-redo the fucking references. and you'll have to re-redo them in the log itself also. but that'll be it.
mircea_popescu: god damned it. so really, aliasing won'
t fucking work here no matter what.
Framedragger: you mean permalinks to any given irc line? no. i don'
t know how phf's numbers work but can probably dig it out
mircea_popescu: i assumed so, but i've had it with this "oh, you can'
t process the logs when you have time to process the logs because logviewer software is made by argentina."
mircea_popescu: the point is, do you have any self-respect or don'
t you ?
Framedragger: god damn it. i shouldn'
t have said "hack". should have said "elegant in its simplicity". 'cause it's simple. and i do fix bug reports. o well
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i won'
t try yours, because i just said i'm not interested in this "it works, no promises though" approach to anything. it's not a way to live. i'm not committing downstream to your napkin doodle.
mircea_popescu: are you aware that this inane behaviour is why everything you don'
t like about the world ? this is why you don'
t get the same tax breaks as actual professionals. this is why the entire field is dominated by "management" that pisses on your heads. this is ALL OF IT, here. right fucking here.
mircea_popescu: and i can try to breach it any way i want. trilema is full of it. there's a "oh, you'e in online marketing ? here's how i got millions of ''clicks'' worth whatever you pay for them, free". mayn'
t notice. "can'
t say nigger ? here." mayn'
t!!11 "oh you think so and so about education/rape/whatever ?" MAYNT!!111
Framedragger: (in unrelated lol, a remittance solution / bank transfer service just emailed me with the words "Yeah! We’ve just sent your money!" in the subject line. i dunno, something about the tone resembling "fuck yah bro i just finished the vodka!!" doesn'
t inspire confidence)
mircea_popescu: take the general "entrepreneur", take paul biggar as a much better example. the kid is definitely intelligent. he wants to be an entrepreneur. which is a word, which has a meaning. he proceeds to usianize. this FAILS TO DELIVER, but a decade later he is STILL doing it. and apparently hasn'
t noticed ANYTHING about any of this. why not ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then her future comes to pass. and she's still too busy with the pretense to notice. because the one thing usianism does is give people something to be busy with. it's not particularly effectual at the direct effect, you know, doing something for them. but it is damned effective at KEEPING THEM BUSY so they don'
t notice. which is... just as good ?
Framedragger: ;;later tell phf you may consider
https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ instead of digitalocean, or at least give it a try as one of them "bot mirrors" that you'd mentioned. there "BareMetal" (didn'
t try) and VPS (down below - works as advertised, no formal benchmarks tho). cheap.
Framedragger: meanwhile the fella in question starts saying "he was too *tame*", and (sic) "in soviet times the guy would have had it so much worse!!" (with glee, etc.) (i don'
t know, this is kinda kusturica-like to me)
Framedragger: no we don'
t, this is a separate matter, [interjections with drunken shouts], the guy was arrested after all [interjections], the arrest was improper, etc.
BingoBoingo: "Imagine if he actually had sex, somehow, and thereby discovered that most young girls could comfortably fit his sex as well as a friend's. It wouldn'
t even be stretching. Then what!" << Then she demands his whole hand inside her and he hecomes Eliot Slippyfist, and James lives happily ever after.
BingoBoingo: Then don'
t spray it on the trees. And if it gets on the trunk you can rinse it off. You are doing a folliar application. Not a basal application, for that you'r use the triclopyr that mixes with kerosene as a carrier oil. Not water!
ben_vulpes: "you don'
t understand how irc works!!1"
mircea_popescu: take your time. hurry up. the choice is yours, but don'
t be latte..."
a111: Logged on 2016-08-28 06:57 mircea_popescu: "but your penis doesn'
t work" "LIFE IS SO CRUEL!!!"
mircea_popescu: though it goes well with his complete disinterest in you know, a brothel. i suspect even if he had had a "hot sexy girlfriend", she wouldn'
t have necessarily known it. prolly more hand-in-handwalks than handjobs on his menu.
diana_coman: yes, it is common; that still doesn'
t mean that they shouldn'
t be kicked to deal with it themselves; but clearly something to be started way before he was 20, there is that
mircea_popescu: male shyness is actually quite common, in all mammal species, and also with womans. if i had a satoshi for every historical case where the poor mother in law had to stick her worthless son's penis into some girl by hand, i wouldn'
t even be poor.
diana_coman: I don'
t think it has to do with changing him
mircea_popescu: mayhap only a woman would see that in there. i can'
t readily discern what part is in the painting and what part is in the natural "i'll change him" eye of the beholderess.
diana_coman: similarly one second he is supposedly totally and absolutely disgusted with his father (ftr I don'
t know who wouldn'
t by the sounds of it) and the next second he makes friends again because... he has been asked to by his nan
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was the man personally insulted when he didn'
t win ? the crate isn'
t the criteria here.
diana_coman: ftr what I find more mind boggling is the degree to which nobody around him actually has anything to do really and I mean first his parents; at least from his account all they do is to throw at him money above what he can in fact handle; in one view I could almost frame this as poor kid got thrown into a station so much above himself that the difference between what he *knows* he is worth (nothing) and what he has been forced
t mircea_popescu: which explains the complete disinterest in any sort of inductive approach (which is also how he didn'
t end up one of those long term abduction rapists)
mircea_popescu: note that they don'
t get agency, he still knows how they ~should~ have chosen ; and the objection is they're malfunctioning in their alloted destiny.
diana_coman: hmm, doesn'
t it break this view of his right at the core when he expects then items to "choose" him?
mircea_popescu: yeah, but this leaves a pretty serious hole for the rest of us, who you know, have pleasant relations with women and don'
t quite grok this "not person" immensity.
mircea_popescu: suppose we run a simpler tiered system : people with his killcount or more may speak against him. seems a pretty reasonable implementation of your "in the arena, with retiarii" idea of adjudication. and he doesn'
t come out too bruised from it, either.
BingoBoingo: " I saw obnoxious slobs who dressed in basketball shorts and
T-shirts walking with hot girls. And there I was, decked out in Armani, all by myself. It was preposterous!" << SHoulda dressed in carhart coveralls soaked in either mud or used oil
BingoBoingo: If gabriel_laddel's stimulant habits didn'
t seem so threatening to the sobriety there might be an offer, but I doubt he'd approve of my rural spider hole.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: yes. You don'
t drink out of toilet do you? Lead should be no concern.
mircea_popescu: ie, theguardian. sure, "because we saw chinese people there once", if you prefer this because. and if you'd like another, he got others. what ain'
t changing is teh fucking guardian.
mircea_popescu: but for everyone else, identity is a deductive result, which is why there can'
t be such a thing as "an example of you"
mircea_popescu: if identity is in fact "a set of deep habits" then you are a woman in the greek sense of that term ; and moreover i have nfi why you wouldn'
t be happy in the inca state.
mircea_popescu: you can'
t prefer among a set with cardinality less than two, that's why. sure, your identity may require you to not do x. this is fine, BUT IT IS ALSO NOT A PREFERENCE. it's your identity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a man who is a plumber is not by this measure "a plague victim". yes, the man works in shit all day. but : he does the work in shit with shit tools, and then he presumably eats with eat tools. he doesn'
t mix the two.
