mircea_popescu: now she's 25 and it
takes a shitload of beatings and
tears
to achieve
the same effect.
mircea_popescu: she wouldn't be, ironically, if anyone had
told her off when she was 12 and it was easy
to change
mircea_popescu: wealth insulates from
the perception of problems, which is how you end up with
the jewish princess.
mircea_popescu: you haven't just said "by definition" without actually having a definition in mind have you ?
tsk
tsk.
phf: it's poor
turn of phrase, but in
this case i meant
that wealth lets you find solutions
to logistical problems
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: btw i checked
the golf course irrigation math and did some more data digging : 1.2 metres of 'rainfall' is simulated in
the ~average~ southwest u.s. golf course. so 2.0 metres+ in, say, palm springs is well within reason.
phf: that's just silly, wealthy people by definition have an easy access
to a wider range of experiences. i'm sure
there are pathological cases of "mother would be displeased", but in my experience downward mobile ivy have easy
time integrating
themselves into whatever cultures.
mircea_popescu: especially
the most endearing part of it all,
their deeply imprinted conviction
that
they're special, different, experiencing
the world privately and personally.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: adorable watching
them grow up, isn't it !
mircea_popescu: check it out, next
thing you know "hogwash" is going
to
turn into
the sound of a cane, and "You, on
the other hand, come
to my classes fresh from a culture with different values, one
that finds academic ways strange and hard
to understand." is going
to become "drop
the stupid,
this isn't
the place for it".
BingoBoingo: Isn't
this what easy internet viagra is for?
pete_dushenski: don't
think 'ghb' (aka. date rape drug, but
taken voluntarily!!!!) has same flaccidifying effect
shinohai: pete_dushenski: ever seen
that film Go ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: very few rapes at raves. mucho amor para
todos. easy lovin'.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Nah, but neither have Yale kids. Only one letter away from rape, much
triggers.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: But
they will KNOW
that
they aren't partying very hard
assbot: Logged on 20-11-2015 16:01:25; BingoBoingo: Because why live in a residence hall called a "college" with a surgeon calling himself "master" when you can go
to West Fucking Virginia and burn couches?
mircea_popescu: (ftr, me went
to a highschool
that had a spa across
the road. summertime,
the better
tail was across
teh street)
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: perhaps, but still, never
the
twain shall meet.
they're different sorts of kidz. yale kidz might want
to party hard, but
they'll do m/blow/raves, not couch burning and fist-fighting.
BingoBoingo: The look at Arizona State students and are
totes jelly
that
they can't bikini spring break at
the lake every weekend.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> hotter
tail, better parties, and less crushing pressure
to be
their own grandparents a few decades
too early <<
the latter. yes.
they're regressed
to mean and expected
to outperform exceptional
talent selected by exceptional luck.
pete_dushenski: (who knew
this was becoming my area of anthropological expertise)
pete_dushenski: yale strata are middle class, yes, imprisoned, yes, but look upwards and behave as
they
THINK
they would if
they were upper classmen
pete_dushenski: why do so many want
to leave
their rat maze
to "become writers" << because kool kids flirt with writers and lend
them
the air of importance
they so desperately desire
BingoBoingo: Because
they already
think
themselves rich and not very good at it
BingoBoingo: The Yale strata of
the USian population wants exactly
the life of being poor, but without
the continentcy of actually being poor
BingoBoingo: Then why do so many want
to leave
their rat maze
to "become writers" or "urban homestead"
pete_dushenski: these 'lower party members' know not where else
to look for 'social mobility'
pete_dushenski: being an idiot slave
to what you perceive is a worthwhile master can perfectly compensate for
the lack of freedom.
BingoBoingo: Necessary. Being beyond
that resentment if for upper party members who pointedly do not go
to Yale
BingoBoingo: It's because
the lower party members at Yale can and MUST envy
the relative freedom of
the proles
pete_dushenski: or because you get
to hang out with a buncha other 20 yo who are also 12 yo boys who
think fire is "neat" and "dangerous" ?
phf: pete_dushenski: you don't get it, it's real life, man, not
those yale faggits
phf: if i were
to
take an issuing certificate (say, google's GIAG2), convert it from der
to pem, and
then feed
the pem
to openssl s_client -CAfile,
then assuming
that whatever i'm connecting
to has been issued by
the ca, everything should just work?
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: and
these couch fires make non-yale skools more attractive how again ?
BingoBoingo: comes out
to 50 per home football game, excluding
that ones
that don't get caught
assbot: Logged on 20-11-2015 05:41:35; Naphex: mircea_popescu: i haven't disappeared anywhere.. got a bad case of pneumonia; Working on setting
things back on
track
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: You can't count every day
though. Just
the six fall days with home games.
BingoBoingo: "West Virginia has become infamous for couch burning.
The Morgantown City Council is attempting
to put a stop
to it. A new city ordinance will ban upholstered furniture from being kept outdoors.
The city claims
there have been more
than 3,000 such fires in
the last decade."
BingoBoingo: Because why live in a residence hall called a "college" with a surgeon calling himself "master" when you can go
to West Fucking Virginia and burn couches?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: hotter
tail, better parties, and less crushing pressure
to be
their own grandparents a few decades
too early
BingoBoingo: The
truth of
the matter is
that
the Yale kids wish
they were cool enough
to go
to LSU or Alabama
pete_dushenski: but yale kidz ARE scared,
they ARE idiots. but even still, even if
they weren't, why does
the (slightly retarded) hawk have
to prove anything
to
the fox ?
BingoBoingo: And
to prove
that
their use of "summer" as a verb doesn't make
them idiots
BingoBoingo: To prove
that
they really aren't scared of
those "urban" kids who go
to state schools
pete_dushenski: why would softies want
to bash heads with
tried and
true orcs again ?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Yale can start mattering when it plays in an actual footbal conference instead of
that bullshit poof Ivy League shit
mircea_popescu: "This is not about creating an intellectual space! Do you get
that ? It’s about creating a home here!"
pete_dushenski: "They have failed
to acknowledge
the hurt and pain
that such a large part of our community feel.
They have again and again shown
that
they are committed
to an ideal of free speech, not
to
the Silliman community."
pete_dushenski: "But, in his
ten weeks as a leader of
the college, Master Christakis has not fostered
this sense of community. He seems
to lack
the ability, quite frankly,
to put aside his opinions long enough
to listen
to
the very real hurt
that
the community feels. He doesn’t get it. And I don’t want
to debate. I want
to
talk about my pain."
pete_dushenski: "We are supposed
to feel encouraged
to go
to our Master and Associate Master with our concerns and feel
that our opinions will be respected and heard."
BingoBoingo: Should be able
to dig it up soon.
The prof's name was "Click"
mircea_popescu: in
the recent missouri rebellion of
the lazy and
the stupid against work.
mircea_popescu: some orc screamed at some prof something
to
the effect of "this is not about intellectual freedom,
this is about making a home, do you get
that"
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Now'd probably be a safe
time
to move
to Argentina
trinque: let
the record state
that
the white students can piss
their pants better, longer, wetter
than
the black students, lest anyone be confused.
BingoBoingo: "for white students of University of Illinois
to be able
to form a community and discuss our own issues as well as be able
to organize against
the
terrorism we have been facing from Black Lives Matter activists on campus,"
punkman: he's
the bad guy in beauty and
the beast
mircea_popescu: that was originally one of
the boring disney chicks neh ?
jurov: you'd need robots
to autonomously hunt and extract suspects, etc.
