BingoBoingo: Oklahomo isn't easy to flee... Toll roads and lpr cameras everywhere ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: (incidentally, didn't i predict the return of door-to-door tax collector ?! a few yrs ago.)
asciilifeform: didn't really carch on until that time.
BingoBoingo: Anyways in the 40's all the drug products weren't on the counter next to the bubble gum. You had to talk to the pharmacist because otherwise he got lonely.
asciilifeform: for non-us folk: today you can't buy a few milligram of pseudoephedrine against running nose, without filling out a form.
asciilifeform: wasn't a 'can't display this, will be stolen 5min later' situation.
trinque: myup, the grandchildren of the generation that knew how to do that spends their time getting fat on walmart groceries and posting on facebook about "freedom ain't free" ☟︎
asciilifeform: ~actual~ rural folk, who grow own food, make own tools, and don't need the mega-state for anything, were recognized as a thread and mostly bugsprayed eons ago.
asciilifeform: american rural doesn't even have much to do with pastoral/village life etc.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Oklahomo isn't even rural. Rural has farms and the pastoral life. Oklohomo is just a drive thru obstacle with its fucking toll roads and meth heads.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-29 14:42 mircea_popescu: how is this stance different from "the nazi military police can't find as many gypos as they used to, so therefore flaying alive of gypsies for fun should be regarded as aperfectly normal passtime, and in no sense wrong, even if it was rare before"
shinohai: Jerry Seinfeld doing an AMA tonite. If it wasn't on reddit ...
shinohai: I personally don't know anyone there.
BingoBoingo: *anyone with such a vehicle that isn't making better money burning down houses to steal the brick*
asciilifeform: the way i read pg's thing, it was reasonably sane, hypothesis being that bad investment is more like pouring petron into a leaky tank, you don't ~think~ you've destroyed it
asciilifeform: 'In most people's minds, spending money on luxuries sets off alarms that making investments doesn't. Luxuries seem self-indulgent. And unless you got the money by inheriting it or winning a lottery, you've already been thoroughly trained that self-indulgence leads to trouble. Investing bypasses those alarms. You're not spending the money; you're just moving it from one asset to another. Which is why
mircea_popescu: funny how this works, with inept kids. first it's all "but i wouldn't shoot without a cause, i'd gun nobody down"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile they're all poor like church mice, and somehow they can't afford the paper to publish the retraction.
asciilifeform: where he grabs a bunch and can't get hand out, and then hunter comes
a111: Logged on 2016-06-08 16:21 phf: i think there are different levels and roles within the system, but i know for a fact that sci people are effective at bureaucrat, there's a number of them at capitol hill, doing internships with senators... (if we haven't before, t-a is now definitely suppresive)
mircea_popescu: phf what's t-a ?
mircea_popescu: i equally can't explain the hair.
mircea_popescu: so for some reason, argentina envelopes don't have any glue. so they fucking staple them shut.
phf: i think there are different levels and roles within the system, but i know for a fact that sci people are effective at bureaucrat, there's a number of them at capitol hill, doing internships with senators... (if we haven't before, t-a is now definitely suppresive) ☟︎
trinque: can't really judge scientology by its slaves
asciilifeform: that aren't necessarily usable elsewhere.
asciilifeform: it wouldn't surprise me if they had a nuke.
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu once said that even he still owned something in usa, and can't even be arsed to liquidate
phf: but you can't take a piss without paperwork, cop and social worker
a111: Logged on 2016-06-08 14:44 mircea_popescu: we were discussing young men ; you can't "be" fat, it's just a sign you've not been whipped enough.
mircea_popescu: we were discussing young men ; you can't "be" fat, it's just a sign you've not been whipped enough. ☟︎
asciilifeform: if you think about it, she pretty much has to charge x < ($usual_earth_fee + $cost_of_flight), or gurlz who aren't working as stewardesses could compete
phf: asciilifeform: that's a specialty service though, girl wouldn't be able to make as much on the ground
asciilifeform: i.e. heavy and won't help if they get the drop on you etc
mircea_popescu: i also can't mathematicaly prove that "no more bugs will get in", nor is this a consideration when i fumigate.
asciilifeform: thing also is, it isn't as if wordpress posts are signed
mircea_popescu: consider the obvious example of the natural ring. yes you can sort the numbers as you like, such as for instance by digit count. but this doesn't mean you're then allowed to declare "mathematical properties" for the various categories you came up with.
mircea_popescu: but the jwz shit can't really be taken out of the jwz shithead.
asciilifeform: didn't nisman have a guard, who 'stepped out for a smoke' or what was it.
mircea_popescu: also - idiot had no actual power. i can already see a jwz in the making when someone is "on twitter". bitch, you don't own twitter, and when you'll want to embarass the handler they'll just mothball it.
asciilifeform: it isn't wholly obvious to me, what he was.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-08 13:13 mircea_popescu: which, should be pointed out, is the fate of ALL JWZ's. whoever doesn't get butchered at the hands of the accursed state they so promoted, will be butchered at my hands once i'm done raping the state.
mircea_popescu: oh oh, right. the thing we do, that they don't like. i remember now.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not these castrated fucks. they don't want to anything, they "just want to".
mircea_popescu: which, should be pointed out, is the fate of ALL JWZ's. whoever doesn't get butchered at the hands of the accursed state they so promoted, will be butchered at my hands once i'm done raping the state. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes west coast didn't suck balls 10-15 years ago, you sayin' ?!?!?!
a111: Logged on 2016-06-08 12:58 mircea_popescu: i don't get it. not like he was an employee or anything.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. not like he was an employee or anything. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ still doesn't tell us WHY he was sacked. the attached thing is standard american boilerplate. ^
deedbot: [Recent Phuctorings.] Phuctored: 45 divides RSA Moduli belonging to 'Timo Halbesma <T.L.R.Halbesma@uva.nl>; ' - http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/EA3020CDCD4CECB547E320E46FF6F6686F397656E19A4C437143EF9D6B0DAC28
trinque: doesn't do the directives like "site:"
trinque: and I guess this google custom search doesn't do related searches?
trinque: asciilifeform: yeah that one doesn't shit anything out in google proper either
trinque: site doesn't work with the google search API
shinohai: Hey BingoBoingo ... wasn't Boelens a former associate/employee of TF ?
BingoBoingo: Come on this is politics, you can't believe anything being said by anybody involved other than blowing stuff up is fun.
shinohai: " BUT could stay same role w an assist, in co-ED role, advisor, rebrand or ^ funding" <<< meaning "Imma quit if you don't give me monies"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They are hard up. Their radio advertising has definitely fallen off these past few weeks. Likely can't afford it.
asciilifeform: well he ain't here! is derping in some parliament instead.
mircea_popescu: it is wholly unreasonable to discuss things you don't understand ; it is disqualifying to not understand certain things.
asciilifeform: but the 'bitcoin == scam' isn't even wholly unreasonable for aboriginal whose entire experience of 'electronic money' has been chumpatronic
asciilifeform: waiwut didn't they already..?
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a major factor in the "i can't explain why the fuck this guy went all usgtronic".
asciilifeform: small corp in usa almost always has a cc, for roughly same reason as humans do, it can dispute charges stemming from cc scamz, pay vendors which won't take american cheques, etc.
asciilifeform: incidentally -$8k of cc doesn't conclusively prove this scheme, it is common for us corp to pump purchases through a cc for bureaucratic reasons
mircea_popescu: that catamite pointedly isn't yudk derp.
asciilifeform: and iirc phoundation didn't even have a shill audit so this'd be classier, neh ?
asciilifeform: had links to something claiming to be detailed audit dumps but i can't be arsed.
mircea_popescu: anyway : the numbers don't match ; total assets in 2014 ~2mn.
asciilifeform: wasn't he the fella who robbed mtgox ?
mircea_popescu: weren't we making "rogue ai" ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: filter on real cigarettes provides opportunity for smoke to cool pleasantly. They didn't become the standard for health reasons...
shinohai: Fake smoke machine just doesn't do it.
asciilifeform: or what, it ain't proper honest sm0k3 unless yer gasenwagening yerself ?
shinohai: Don't want to become a vapefag though
BingoBoingo: shinohai: I'm making runs at just pulling the bandaid off and learning a lot about physiological processes nicotine involves itself in that they don't really teach the kids about in school. For example: Nicotine causes causes stored sugahs to be released into the blood stream which means a substantial portion of the pain of acute nicotine withdrawal is related to the Beetus.
gabriel_laddel: No laptop, currently on a public box so can't get any work done.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: I don't know / use rsync. What should I have done?
mircea_popescu: and accepted his offer to hint to a guy I like that this is the case; I hit on someone at a party right in front of my primary. I haven't suffered a hiccup of drama or a twinge of jealousy to speak of and all evidence (including verbal confirmation) indicates that I've been managing my primary's feelings satisfactorily too.</bragging> Does this sort of thing appeal to you? Cross your fingers and hope your brain works enoug
asciilifeform prolly wasn't here for that one
mircea_popescu: "Mike Blume, gadabout and preterist, has grown bolder and bolder against Apostolic holiness traditions which he calls legalism. He has denied several of our ..." apparently the other priest dudes don't think so much of him.
BingoBoingo: ;tldr sorry pete, Jews can't be pimps
mircea_popescu: "They both go way out of their way to make the other happy, and although part of this is just that they’re both very nice people who go out of their way to make everybody happy, I think there’s got to be some love involved there too. They are engaged, working on the “getting married” thing, and have every intention of having lots of children and staying together for at least one lifetime." << california can't grow eno
trinque: also wouldn't surprise me that anyone in amerika with a functioning nervous system has a strong instinct of "this place is done for" going off
asciilifeform: properly-configured petz don't cost much
mircea_popescu: i've known even more folk who wouldn't deflower a girl, myself included. etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand, a major part of the appeal of prostitutes for many people is that they already have a pimp. contrary to what polite society likes to believe, men don't generally want THAT much to do with women.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wouldn't it depend on who 'wins' ?
mircea_popescu: if it isn't... hm. you saying basically they only visit with performance gas mask on ?
mircea_popescu: well that one didn't work.
mircea_popescu: much like the "bitcoin corrupts" argument - harem heals. if you actually get one, you can't be "yourself".
asciilifeform: maybe if derp finds The Ring of Popescuinity in the mud, and cleans it up, and wields some of its powers, he still isn't mircea_popescu ?
asciilifeform: big fat surprise he won't engage.
asciilifeform: pet reads it, i can't be arsed
asciilifeform: yudkowsky successfully bootstrapped his inner cult to the next level, of being a properly institutionalized and usgized org, and he didn't need the public www any moar.
mircea_popescu: that's a new one, i didn't know any other cause is even possibru. wha happened ?
mircea_popescu: for as long as that article stands "less wrong" seriously can't exist intellectually.
mircea_popescu: uh i don't recall where specifically. tardstalk prolly. or reddit/twitter/whatever.
mircea_popescu: buncha fuctards, can't speak in public, opine as to consummate public speaker's performance ; never as much as owned a suit of clothes, comment the suits of dude that's been wearing one since highschool. on it goes.
asciilifeform: and if you think i will use scrolls that don't respond to mouse wheel, EVER, think again.
