Namworld: There's no share, just a stake in %. No share dilution
as of now. Dilution could appear in the form of allowing investments on the site like other dice site where you can stake the bankroll. Although this would in no way be absolute/permanent.
pete_dushenski: "Magnets keep all your computer equipment in place, and it moves with you
as you change positions. So even while you recline, your monitor and keyboard are proportionally placed for you to continue working." << re: altwork thingie. fuck magnets. give me screws and anchors !

For instance Miss Porter's School in 1843 advertised itself

mircea_popescu: "George Bush was one of these people
as well. An intimate of his machine once described his public behavior to me, the long and short of which is that the man is excellent at regurgitating that which had been said to him or that he'd heard, and to stitch together a pastiche that can pass for creative conversation, but largely unable to cook up his own output." << sounds like ivy league.

fluffypony: "32 people died (and a lot more in critical condition) because of a fire in a club last Friday. The problem is that the the local authorities allowed that club to function without even the most basic fire-precaution measures, which essentially led to the fire and that many victims (150 injured and
as i said before quite a few in critical condition). With a bit of a bribe you can do anything in Romania."
solrodar: I think the only fair response would be to cancel the whole bet and refund the other side

as a perception mechanism.

as mcdonalds manager to pretend like he's an intellectual, that scruffy kid could have been an excellet poolboy, but no, he has to pretend like political clout and whatnot.

☟︎ pete_dushenski: it's self-correcting. the 'good investor' will come to see himself
as having been fortunate THAT ONCE
pete_dushenski: "The worst thing that can happen to a man is for him to invest speculatively
as a sideline and for it to work. He then runs the risk of considering himself a good investor." << hardly the worst thing that can happen to a man. depends entirely on what he does with his self-confidence

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> here's a bit of truth for one bb : "Note that when scienticians talk about, say, the increase in alcoholism, they never go back before WWII, otherwise they'd have to label most ancient Greeks, all Vikings and everyone in colonial America
as alcoholics. "Well," they'll explain, "it wasn't until then we started rigorously treating people
as data points." " << Or the society is broken

mircea_popescu: "Before, the experience of addiction was entirely subjective, is it messing up your life? Now, it's been objectified, the subject's relationship with the drug is is no longer relevant, it is the fact of the drug that is relevant. The obvious example of this sleight of hand is that there's alcohol use and alcohol abuse, but there's no such category

mircea_popescu: After graduating from Libertyville High School, Tom Morello was the first student in Libertyville’s history to be admitted to Harvard University. Yet when he graduated with a degree in political science, Tom Morello asserts that he was “unemployable.” He then turned up in Hollywood
as an exotic male stripper.
mircea_popescu: obi, Kenya. Mary Morello had travelled to Kenya
as well
as Germany, Spain, Japan under a clandestine veil
as an English language teacher between 1957 and 1963.
mircea_popescu: "Tom Morello was born on May 30, 1964, in Harlem, New York to Ngethe Njoroge and Mary Morello. Njoroge was Kikuyu Kenyan and a Mau Mau guerrilla. Jomo Kenyatta, the revolutionary leader of the Mau Mau, was his uncle. Njoroge served
as liberated Kenya’s first ambassador to the U.N. In August 1963, Njoroge and Mary met at a pro democracy protest in Nairobi, Kenya. In November 1963 after discovering her pregnancy, Mary

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

as sex addict-- women over 35, i.e. the demo for Shame-- sex addiction needs to be seen
as terrible because it is terrible for them. It may also be terrible for the sex addict, but fuck you, we have a society to run."
mircea_popescu: "Take a look at Brandon. When media wants to depict a sex addict they depict the wealthy, the good looking, the powerful, the well hung. There are plenty of slimy basement dwelling janitor sex addicts out there, but they are represented
as sex offenders. There are also plenty of gay sex addicts out there, but they are represented
as gay. Both of you are dismissed, the world has no time for your nonsense. The sex a
