pete_dushenski: aha. i attended french immersion through to grade 5, which really isn't much, but my mother also grew up on montreal and we spoke a bit of french at home. i've also visited montreal at least once a year since i was born, so i've always had a bit of a refresher when out in public. lastly, i joined a french-catholic choir last year and they speak and write in french exclusively.
pete_dushenski: this french ? like my french or the quote ?
brg444: I was always curious, where did you pick up this french from?
BingoBoingo: You win getting to type "fxd" in chan

brg444: btw pete_dushenski was reading your last article on contravex. great stuff as usual but noticed a typo, if you care: 2nd "exclusivity" should be "exclusive"?
brg444: tbf I'm certainly not complaining, last winter was around coldest on record so can't say I'm too anxious to revisit this
BingoBoingo: kelvin for the next few hundred thousand years is too outlier to troll people by using it to describe weather

BingoBoingo: Yeah, but any news is good news for the cause.

BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> BingoBoingo: this would make a great scene for alfdog the movie << I kinda though alf identified more as a cat.
BingoBoingo: <PeterL> If you pull up the source of a qntra page, it's about 150 lines. Yesterday I was on another news site, the source was over 4000 lines long. I am calling scam, qntra is cheating us on the lines per page! << It used to be more until recently.

mircea_popescu: more of the same and less of everything, the socialist-democrat platform everywhere&para siempre!
mircea_popescu: “My plan would make Wall Street banks, profitable corporations, millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share of taxes. My plan would provide living wages for working people and ensure equal pay for women,” Mr. Sanders says, ticking off his plans to raise taxes by $1 trillion and spend it on infrastructure, guarantee free tuition at public colleges and universities, raise the minimum wage, raise Social Securit
mircea_popescu: on the apparently safe assumption that nobody has anything to say to anybody anywya

pete_dushenski: ~$12/day buys you top-notch domestic bodyguard in colombia. seems awfully reasonable.
pete_dushenski: "[mercs] stay largely because of the money, receiving salaries ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 a month, compared with approximately $400 a month they would make in Colombia. Those troops who deploy to Yemen will receive an additional $1,000 per week"

asciilifeform: just for so long as you aren't the one falling through the riddled floorboards.
asciilifeform: aha, to non-entomologist, what's ant, what's termite.
asciilifeform: idk, not much talk of 'hyoooman rightz!!1111' these days, it's all colour-specific
mircea_popescu: and argentines are technologically gifted.
asciilifeform: (as observed in earlier thread)
asciilifeform: 'cause i don't breathe the liquid ammonia atmosphere of the planet where x lives

mircea_popescu: if you wanna sleep till x, go right ahead.
asciilifeform: (you may need advanced necromancy, i intend to be quite dead then)

asciilifeform: hence the link to mircea_popescu's 'tallest building' essay
mircea_popescu: fuck a number of DIFFERENT women ; do a number of DIFFERENT things. eat variedly. die happily.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform devoting your "whole life" to anything, be it some dumbass woman (hey - for every woman that you're willing to die for!!11 there is a dude somewhere who's sick of her dumb ass), or ideas, behaviours and whatnot is stupid writ large.
asciilifeform: (try to forget, for this example, the moral colour of word 'steal' - think of the sense in which we 'steal' milk from the cow, or samurai steals his XXXX koku of rice / yr. from the peasant)
asciilifeform: sometimes they steal it with own hands, sometimes a friend helps.
asciilifeform: see, back to what mircea_popescu referred to as my 'temple of nonsense', intellectualism is this thing where some folk devote their whole lives to -ev folly like writing poetry or proving theorems
trinque: a bear does not assimilate the practices and knowledge of his meal!
asciilifeform: trinque: no more than, say, a bear is.
trinque: were the mongols - with their cultural assimilation technology - anti-intellectual?
