t know; fwiw I was (I think it's still there even) arguing against the original article in Romanian along your current lines really
diana_coman: asciilifeform, that is broadly "just as *you* never knew ancient greek, don'
t come and tell *me* that you still read books" - with the very clear point that the author can and might read books just as they can and might read ancient Greek, but that's not to say anything about the general public who won'
t read one just as they can'
t/won'
t read the other

t know that it somes to anything beyond him almost getting to somewhere
mircea_popescu: somehow the realisation that "proposing a subset could exist IS ALREADY PREDICATING you can fix things you can'
t actually fix, so you're begging the question something massive".
mircea_popescu: (though honestly it - esp the m4 - looked to me more like a hastily copied
t-34 than anything)
mircea_popescu: still, stuff like the raufoss mk211 is the exact pill for "oh, we're armored". orly ? well done, so the round won'
t blow clear through you! enjoy zirconium fire in your spleen!
☟︎ shinohai: I couldn'
t agree more. What's a degree gonna get you? You'll be a straight-up prostitute anyway in a few years or less so go ahead and embrace it.

t know.
mircea_popescu: "Because I don'

a111: Logged on 2016-05-29 14:43 mircea_popescu: how about being consistent and arguing for "remove laws from the books until the number of male prison inmates === the number of female prison inmates" and "if you can'
t get married, beg your girlfriends to join you! if one of you cooks, one washes, one sees after the kids and one learns to pole dance, 4 millenian shitheads may just about cover the traditional role of womanhood"
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"
mircea_popescu: let this be a lesson to all kids watching at home : don'
t follow your fucking dreams. your dreams are shit. follow your principles. just as long as they're correct, you can'
t lose.

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: gotta love the logic, "can'
t get dudes to marry, so the solution is to make the few that do even more burdened." isn'
t this exactly opposite oif the usual socialist "share everything into the ground" mantra ?

BingoBoingo: DC Zoo has less real bears. Panda cows don'
t count.

t shot
shinohai: Anywho, please don'
t think I'm evil because I suggest a varmit gun. I do love my cat because no other good reading companion.
mod6: one cat that used to be an "outdoor" cat in my radius would bring me mice like everyday. i felt bad because i couldn'
t bring him one. :/
shinohai: This is Nigeria. If I don'
t get new 1 Trillion bill I'm going home.
BingoBoingo: mod6: You don'
t do seeds? You let big greenhouse start your plants? :(
gribble: Error: You haven'
t asked me a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the letters in a circle were very important to have as glyphs because some people can'
t think otherwise.
mircea_popescu: basically, imagine a future where everyone who wants to (or doesn'
t care/know enough to not want to) runs the tmsr-bot, which registers its prices with deedbot, and then i can go !bot <order> and deedbot parcels it out to the bots it knows, and reports the rersults when done.
phf: does word boundaries too, though since i don'
t know how to do it properly word boundaries are an explicit set of characters from ASCII.
mod6: so I think, hopefully sometime today, i'll send out
t.pl to the ML as is - however i don'
t really expect anyone to use
t.pl themselves. sending it to the ML for more of posterity purposes.

t see that.
mod6: anyone wanna help me test the cmd line version of
t.pl?
BingoBoingo can'
t wait until alf visits non-Chicago middle West
BingoBoingo: Well don'
t live there. Maybe try asking Chicago cop which where you get the best hotdogs in town? Throw out how you think this just might be the Cubs year to win it all. Chances are he'll talk like a person and leak intel.

t the misfortune of his compatriots being around ?
mircea_popescu: god damned it, writing piece for qntra, can'
t link to btcalpha profiles because well... it dun exist.
mircea_popescu: much like when they want obama to win, they propose a contest between obama and another identical fucktard, rather than between obama and someone who isn'
t a system fucktard.
Framedragger: yeah. i mean one day i'll grow balls and get out of my comfort zone of sorta-pseudo-anonymity. your points are valid here, even though i think it's possible to do useful/productive work under pseudo/anonymity. this doesn'

t survive.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you're important enough then sentimentalities of sysadmins will be ignored. << this, incidentally, isn'
t a matter of neglect ; it is a matter of design. consider it works exactly as a sort of "training for unimportance".
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i honestly don'
t give a shit what small national governments think they're doing or not doing or whatever. "lithuania" the subject of law is as unrecognized as usg is. no relation to anything, no power to anything, they can write bluntman and chronic comics about how "it is" an' "keep it real" if they so wish.
Framedragger: i think i once contacted them about running a tor exit node there, they had said well if you put in your own reverse dns info for the ip block we give you then we 100% don'
