the fandom and
the actual profession is always, absolutely always and without exception one of extraction. Specifically, resources are sucked out of
the fandom for
the benefit of
the profession."
ben_vulpes would love
to see
them both verify and anything show up in
the diff
lobbes: ascii_field: I *was* able
to verify mpi-genesis.tar.gz.sig (downloaded from IE); yet
to diff with wget version

the past
that you have
to ditch... binary. if you want
to be rid of
the 'floating point' abomination.
ben_vulpes: any
time I see
these "oversaw/responsible for revenue of blablablah" all sorts of alarms go off.
assbot: Logged on 09-05-2014 20:30:36; bitcoinpete: hashfast vp of engineering: Amy most recently came from Engine Yard, where in less
than
two years she went from Senior Developer
to Director of Engineering. She oversaw
the development of
the flagship product, EY Cloud, growing revenue by over 60% in one year.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo she was brought
to me as an offering, she is now a stock character for 1970s/1980s born
too ugly
to be a slut
too lazy
to cheerlead i know i wanna-be a writer i-m-going-to-new-york
to be discovered if it worked for horseface whatshername why not me!"
assbot: Logged on 02-11-2015 14:52:37; mircea_popescu: inexplicably,
tlp doesn't
think Kristen Wiig is funny
mircea_popescu: "Also, who gives a shit about what you buy? Everyone buys all
the same
things all
the
time;
that's why
those items are always stocked. You're not special. Nobody cares."
lobbes: haven't
tried verifying anything yet
ascii_field: lobbes: didja diff it with
the wget'ed copy ?
ascii_field: ;;later
tell mod6 feature request for your 'v' - degrade gracefully if
the graphing lib
thing is absent plz
lobbes: ascii_field: I can confirm
the same behavior on my graphical winblowz browsers (Firefox, Chrome). On Firefox, I get additional message of 'MrTAHIXE.sig.part could not be saved, because
the source file could not be read.'
mircea_popescu: hopefully she leaves him money, it's a lot better when
the cuck also "owns"
the place
thestringpuller: Samuel: "mommy why can't humans work
together like ants?" - good question. <<
the actual fuck?
mircea_popescu: if only men had
the unyielding dedication of cockroaches.
thestringpuller: interestingly,
the goths burned down a hot
topic
to get rid of
the
teeny boppers in south park, but 3 more popped up.
thestringpuller: trinque: quite depressing how
the majority has
the same mindset as
the
teeny boppers.
ben_vulpes: oh come now, didn't macsyma do
the same
thing?
ben_vulpes: well what is an expert system but a
tidy formalization of bizlawgic?
ben_vulpes: but it looks like some sort of prolog/cl-y saas
thinger?
trinque: "only" is perhaps not
the best
term
to use
to describe
the majority
☟︎ thestringpuller: only retarded
teeny bopper girls and 40 year old housewives actually
take Hunger Games/Twilight seriously...
mircea_popescu: now go out and make sure
there's enough men, forget climate fucking change.
mircea_popescu: im sure it was going
to have been different
that
time.
mircea_popescu: what, ustards are amazed
that
they applied
the principles of 1950s soviet feminism, got
the results of 1970s soviet society and WHOA WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED ?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: heh, fucktarded douchery. soviet romania had female everythings, and
they all beelined
to home where
they cooked for
the family anyway.
mircea_popescu: The real question is why it's popular among 15 year old girls? 15 year old girls should, in
theory, have grown up without 1970s sexism. Schools are hypervigilant about fostering girls development, and
there are enough female everythings
that it's not remarkable
that
there are female anythings."
mircea_popescu: "Deconstuctionists like
to ask easy questions like, "why is a story for 15 year old girls so popular among middle aged women?"
They asked
this about
Twilight,
too, but it's not at all surprising
that
these books are popular among middle aged women who still secretly believe women are second behind men. Not in
terms of
theoretical potential, perhaps, but
they've grown up in a world with enough experiences
that
they ca
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: confederated
tribes of grande rhonde is a convenient political box for a myriad of small
tribes along
the length of
the willamette and parts of
the columbia.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "repatriation schemes" would be "kiss
the ring and
the usg will pressure holders of your holy artifacts
to return
them"
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "curation standards" would be "lock all of your holy relics up in slidy climate controlled shelving units and never let anyone
touch
them"
ben_vulpes: /they/ regularly circulate ancestors about
the
tribe.
ben_vulpes: in other nyooz, i learned
that
the confederated
tribes of
the grande rhonde very intentionally do not meet curation standards or participate in
the repatriation scemes.
ben_vulpes: of course it will. she was just flailing in
the presence of apparently
the first rigid cock she'd seen in a decade.
ben_vulpes: well nothing specific you see just uh statistics
that she couldnt understand much less explain.

thestringpuller: i also asked him what a kolhoz, and he looked at me funny and said, "Those haven't existed in a long
time. Although we are probably in one right now."
mircea_popescu: for
the wall
to be covered in wax drip so you can attach candles
to it so
they drip in
the bath!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not
that i imagine i can keep up with
the vulpes, but - i ok'd remodelling of a bathroom. in wax.
mircea_popescu: how about fucking athena,
to
this day
the avatar of agency - stupid bitch came out of her father's head pointy end first
mircea_popescu: and psyche is supposed
to be a fucking object.
that is
THE POINT of
that particular story (fuck you myth legend bs words you don't even comprehend. story is good enough for pedestrians).
ben_vulpes: i am also going
to have
to redo al of my keybindings for single handed use
mircea_popescu: you fail at comprehending wtf anything is, anon derpy female comentator on
tlp site.
mircea_popescu: god damned it... "this is better
than
the greek myth because i like it more"
mircea_popescu: make choices and
take risks along
the way,
though.)
There are also loads of Native American fairy
tales with women who have agency."
mircea_popescu: in other news, "There are, in fact, fairy
tales about women with agency, and your article would have been even stronger if you knew
them (but it's understandable
that you don't). "The Girl Without Hands" for one, and a fairy
tale retelling of
the Psyche and Eros legend, "East of
the Sun and West of
the Moon". (The retelling is better
than
the Greek legend, where Psyche is deus ex machina'd at
the end. She does at least
ben_vulpes: and yeah moet schmoet, but i want
to *see* my friends
ben_vulpes: entrance fee
to casita vulpes has evolved into "hot meal, diapers, and a bottle of moet"
mircea_popescu: maybe if
the piston was
tungsten
tipped or some nutty shit.
ascii_field: did math it. it is vaguely possible ~if and only if~
the user drops into
the chair
mircea_popescu: supposedly
the failing chamber pierced
that ? with what.
mircea_popescu: tbh i have no idea how
these accidents are supposed
to occur - every air cusjopm i ever saw had
this 2mm steel plate protecting
the butthole.
phf: fuck
this i'm moving
tostanding desk
ascii_field: (typical failure mode of a chinese office chair - converts
to stake.)
phf: "he knows english better
then any american i know" well,
that says something about ~americans you know~
mircea_popescu: the problem is he isn't fucking applying it
to himself!
mircea_popescu: n as customary.... who
they are. America is a branded-identity nation, which means hearing yourself speak in not-your accent, with not-your vocabulary sounds very not-you, which is why when an American
tries
to speak French he feels self-conscious, but
the Frenchman hearing it feels you aren't even
trying. He'd be wrong, you are
trying:
trying not
to become French."
mircea_popescu: he CIA learn as adults, are
they all using different science? An American describes another American who is fluent in French as "oh my God, he's so smart, he speaks French and everything" but
this statement is easily unmasked as a defense by getting him
to describe a Frenchman who speaks English: "well,
they all speak English over
there."
The bilingualism is robbed of
the "intelligence" signification because it's see
mircea_popescu: makes shit like "Short of cauterizing your own genitals, nothing seems like it would change who you are like speaking in an-other's language. Blech, I'd rather wear someone else's underwear, no
thanks, I'll
take
the 12 credits but no way am I retaining anything. "Well, science says you lose
the ability
to learn languages as you get older." Oh, did NPR just interview
TED? Dummies in other countries and dummies in
