asciilifeform: (repl langs are more or less trivial to emacsize)
asciilifeform: hence the difficulty.
ben_vulpes had to beat emacs into supporting ruby this week, company-mode served well
asciilifeform: after that, went back to actual wurk and haven't really stopped for long enough to try any more
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: got as far as actually building the llvm toolchain on one box
ben_vulpes: i'm also expecting he-who-knows-all-about-raising-children-without-ever-having-had-any to chime in
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: well yes, that was the nucleating input
asciilifeform: but don't expect to hear that one from the quacks
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there's always hrdy's hypothesis.
ben_vulpes: the whole SIDS thing reeks of idiopathic "we don't know what's going on but here try these things so that you feel in control"

danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-12-2015#1342473 << heh. that's the thing i use to manage my eulorian accounts. The stupid thing mangles my urls to chatlogs, I learned yesterday. Adds a '?' after a '#' ☝︎
whaack: ben_vulpes: Sure I'll try.
Bingoboingo: changed the second one to "then"
whaack: BingoBoingo: At the time, this amounted to approximately .290 Bitcoins per student. With roughly 4,500 undergraduates, this was MIT's way of showing that they were in a position to easily let go of about 1,300 Bitcoins at the time. << I think the double "at the time" reads weird, but not too big a deal.
Bingoboingo: You're welcome. Thank you for submitting.
whaack: BingoBoingo: looks great, thanks

mircea_popescu: the notion that teenager kid that beat up some fatty in his class needs therapy, but this nutjob with sirens and perimeter fence does not strikes me as outright self-parodic.
punkman: "In fact, I was (and am) a GOLD STAR GAY ie a gay man who's never had sex with a woman" except all these persons with vaginas
punkman: it's only bad if you "hope nobody thinks I'm gay"

punkman: so there's a Mr Sleeve in the neighborhood, and apparently he makes shirts
punkman: not yet at least, not really opposed to gmo food in principle
punkman: asciilifeform: [...] << makes EXACTLY the same amount of sense as the 'oh noez gmo!111' thing. << dunno, I'd rather not eat DowDuPont for breakfast
mircea_popescu: dun forget the salt.
asciilifeform off to chop
asciilifeform: getting to be a bother.
asciilifeform: on a not-unrelated note, i neglected the grounds for so long that an OAK actually grew INTO my front gate.
assbot: Logged on 13-12-2015 17:04:29; mircea_popescu: this is why dudes hang out with bitches (hey, she might not be pliable to me, but she sure as fuck ain't pliable to anyone else - so that's 50%. spreading, works.)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-12-2015#1342422 << this goes way back, to legends of 'and he had a sword that no other bloke could even motherfucknig LIFT!11111' etc ☝︎
mircea_popescu: fractal reality, it really doesn't have that many tropes.
mircea_popescu: this is why anal sex being painful to teh woman is actually THE REASON it's practiced and so on
asciilifeform: everybody wants an everything 'pliable to no one but me.' 'i want a meat edible to me but not flies.' 'grain for me but not mice.' 'unix box for me but not usg.' etc
mircea_popescu: this is why dudes hang out with bitches (hey, she might not be pliable to me, but she sure as fuck ain't pliable to anyone else - so that's 50%. spreading, works.) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: note how this also happens to be exactly the male expectations of females, generally. "she should be pliable to no one but me", which then gets repackaged in weird things like madonna/whore compelx by sick societies, which is how "slut" works : to indicate that she's exactly the antiwoman (ie, pliable to all but me) and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: and so... we industriously retrain their youth. it's slow and unrewarding, but then again what else is the human condition, idem since forever.
mircea_popescu: what else is the job of human industry since forever, but to separate the wires.
mircea_popescu: they're drastically incapable of making themselves useful.
mircea_popescu: and it's a miserable state of affairs, when i say argentines are too dumb to live i mean exactly this :
asciilifeform: brick is even better 'undomesticated', then! as there have been trained mice, but never brick.
mircea_popescu: it's, as the polite expression goes, "uncivilised".
mircea_popescu: or to bring the captive mouse back into all of this, whether it succeeds or not at chewing its way through plain steel and glass, and whether it has any chance at succeeding or not aren't considerations. it simply lacks any capacity of being my puppet, and for this reason it can't be, and that's that.
mircea_popescu: sure, back then white didn't yet mean castrated.
asciilifeform: iirc the peace pipe folks went to meet quetzalcoatl first. followed by the rape-the-wife ones.
mircea_popescu: that red indians wanted to sit around and smoke peace pipe, whereby these guys wanted to rape your wife.
asciilifeform: (who were also quite the set of 'active tribes')
asciilifeform: let's say usg had not supplied the goat fuckers with modern rockets, infinite ammo, food, etc. then what, precisely, would've distinguished them from the red indians ?
mircea_popescu: course, not the same as greece's two, but nevertheless.
mircea_popescu: and i would know, because this is what romania's been doing for about a millenium.
mircea_popescu: the empire goes to get them diamond rings.
mircea_popescu: this is the relationship of actual active tribes with soi-dissant empires.
mircea_popescu: but, to be perfectly clear, the man who goes to work hard so he can buy a diamond ring so he can "muppet" a woman into staying put for sex is not some sort of mastermind.
asciilifeform: muppet can put on a good show of, e.g., biting the puppetteer
mircea_popescu: and im not sure what the diff between m and p is here.
mircea_popescu: ru and su were the actual puppets in this discussion.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, in afghanistan the only NOT puppets were the afghanis.
mircea_popescu: the fallacy here is that you wish to attribute action to "ownership" because this is a fundamental pillar of your otherwise broken "action is not the measure of phenomena". if only it were possible that the mujahedeen were "a puppet" then so many things you wish to be true would also perhaps be attainable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dawg get the hell out with this "everything is an arm of the meta-hittite empire"

"they've commited a billion they'd never pay and i'll do things i'm never actually doing". мы делаем вид что работаем а государство делает вид что платит нам зарплату for the new soviet generation.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-12-2015#1342327 << you mean the attack by the arab auxiliary arm of usg on the idiot euro auxiliary arm of usg ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: so that victim 'spies' on himself.

mircea_popescu: funny thing, apropos : pharisees used to be a nation. you know, like the ustards used to be a nation. today they only thing they're remembered for is their manner of living, they're a byword for hypocrisy and a delusional magical belief in empty ritual and naming things.
mircea_popescu: and as the de-turdification process continue, expect more and more of these "highly principled" shitheads crawling out of the woodwork. because this is what ethics means to the present crop of retarded kids, it's just a word, and it ain't got jack shit to do with what one does. just as long as the pharisee does his ablutions right all's good.
