mircea_popescu: what's wrong with just introducing yourself as "domestic slave" ? oh, i saw that in a film once. better call it "housewife"
mircea_popescu: because "raceysm" is the shorthand for a social convention, that's on one hand nonsensical, and on the other precludes people who are slaves from addressing their slavery as such. it must be called something else. because lo and behold, a person who does work for no pay at the behest of her masters is now "in a job" hurr durr.
BingoBoingo: This season as a whole I think so far matches their best single episodes in the bast
BingoBoingo: "Pierre Eymard and friends were studying novel antieplieptics, and used dipropylacetic acid (a solvent) as both an intravenous vehicle for the drug, and as placebo. They observed that the placebo worked, too, preventing seizures at the higher concentrations. If this had been a phenotype without visible effects, it would have been a perfectly ordinary conclusion that drug was not better than dipropylacetic acid-- aka Depakote"
BingoBoingo: Then again Romanian education presented to mircea_popescu the blowjob slut bonobo as the "chimp" and cannibal violence machine is presented in Anglophone culture as the chimp.
mircea_popescu: sure, they have some value as rat substitutes for biological/biochemistry research. not much from what i can tell, rats are cheaper and faster.
BingoBoingo: 3. do you know what zyprexa is ? "antidepressant", aka a sedative that fattens you. << Only a thing, because the tend is nao labeling "depression" as "bipolar depression" when patients are a pain so this a the excuse to stick them on an anti-manic/anti-psychotic like zyprexa. Get them outta the civilized clinic and into the medicaid one
BingoBoingo: An extra inch and a half of height and he'd probably be as crippled as the former running backs his age. Even if he till he's that beat to retire still likely got more left in his head than fucking Altman.
pete_dushenski: ftr the only 'mrs. dushenski' in this city is one of my aunts. not even in meatwot as i rarely see her.
BingoBoingo still hopes to be around in five years when pete_dushenski decides on boarding school as the appropriate course for young Pantagruel's Kindergarten
BingoBoingo: Because citigroups has as little to do against buttcoin as it can Bitcoin
BingoBoingo: For now, easy come easy go, as the line says
hanbot: Patron has written industry-leading research on the opportunities and implications which come from cryptocurrency such as his recently published book Bitcoin: An Internet of Money which has been one of the most positively-received publications in the cryptocurrency space, garnering 5,000+ downloads to date as an educational and open-sourced research compilation.
asciilifeform: idk if mircea_popescu ever tried this. but, just as i expected, it failed. minimal focus distance of the lens was not met.
mircea_popescu: copying what works is so high up on the "never EVER do" list it might as well be racism.
mircea_popescu: as you say, wake me up when inept woman is stripped, whipped and left tied to the office door over the weekend.
ascii_field: but, as i understand, they come in, and soon come out of the other end.
mircea_popescu: but also, you shouldn't take this as a bad light on yourself, i think you did a reasonable job, just, the requirements are insanely tight.
gabrielradio: i guess i should tackle that one as well
mircea_popescu: for as long as you're happy with it you can keep it.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes prolly best wait a bit for that, as bitcoin isp mainstreamizes will be easier.
mircea_popescu: heck, actually you could run the whole affair as a "clothes free zone".
mircea_popescu: this is how this thing works : always better than you expect it to, and the inconvenience is never quite as significant as you imagined.
punkman: "Neighbors reported seeing a bleeding woman screaming for help as she tried to scale an 8-foot-high wall that surrounds the property at the end of a cul-de-sac"
pete_dushenski: as monopoly on force ?
mircea_popescu: the way these things work is that they try to cover as much as possible.
asciilifeform misread above as 'will never eat'
mircea_popescu: bout the same as everywhere else.
mircea_popescu: i might as well ask what 12 yo virgins think of handling households.
asciilifeform: for so much as setting foot there.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2015#1304411 << nope. handled same way as viagra spam. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2015#1304392 << 'gmo' == monsanto/roundup in precisely the same sense as 'pc' == winblowz. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: As regular army does
asciilifeform: (the machine is loud, as in vacuum cleaner, so idea was that it lives in its own room, console - in a quiet, distant one.)
asciilifeform: as in, if it breaks, it cannot be meaningfully repaired (unlike the vase!) and certainly not replaced
phf: might as well transport drugs
asciilifeform: and did anyone so much as bother to consider it?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-10-2015#1304077 << this was an obscene - in the sense of serving as conclusive proof that everyone who parroted the story in the fishwrap, etc. is long overdue to be boiled for soap - because - think about it... ☝︎
asciilifeform: as in, 24/7
asciilifeform: especially now that dks has run short of parts (as, by all indications, he has, or we wouldn't be having this conversation..)
mircea_popescu: I think Rita Owens meant the statement "more Caucasian men stepping up" as a jab at blacks to get them movitated, but if it is factually accurate then these Caucasians are idiots. Really? Big Brothers? That's the call you heard? Whites seem particularly prone to manic devotions to faddish volunteerism inspired by celebrity that are transparently self-aggrandizing. And temporary-- they inevitably quit when the nex

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu qatar is 'not exactly pakistan' for as long as it can fend off isis. so what, a few years ? a decade ?
mircea_popescu: as alf pointed out, with the power chord still attached, it looks like one of those retard constructions
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-10-2015#1303942 << i recall this aversion as well. when i was 12 ;p ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "What happened is that Wolf was in the middle of a story some people suspected was a hoax, but was still being reported as a "thank god he was hiding in the garage" drama. So he tried to protect the story. He tried to pretend he missed the comment so that everyone could go on with the story as it was being told.
mircea_popescu: "here's my very expensive excuse as to why i'm not going out of the house. it's not that im borderline autistic, it's that i save the environment. from myself."
mircea_popescu: phf> i suspect that failures in this case are seen as being on bleeding edge, sort of meta-meta-maker << maybe the truth is, the people who buy teslas don't have anywhere to go anyway.
pete_dushenski: but mechanical components are always readily at hand. can only imagine tesla ownership in backwaters such as these
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo honestly, my merc is the same story. actually machines. plenty of parts and parts cars. even if, on short notice, clean body panels sometimes come from very, very far afield as seen in http://www.contravex.com/2015/10/20/hey-edmonton-police-service-what-part-of-private-property-dont-you-understand/#footnote_1_5675
phf: i suspect that failures in this case are seen as being on bleeding edge, sort of meta-meta-maker
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo that's the mark of an actual car, as opposed to a 'smartphone'
BingoBoingo: "The brake rotors tend to warp. And the door handles often fail to “present” themselves as drivers approach their cars."
phf: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-COMPUTER-SYMBOLICS-3600-LISP-MACHINE-KEYBOARD/321810769726 << was trying to buy this one, got as high as $1100 on best offer, guy wouldn't go any lower then $1400 ☟︎
pete_dushenski: phf almost as good as bitcoin, that. just harder to ship.
pete_dushenski: much as tlp is finding new life here, with fresher, more mature eyes
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-10-2015#1303087 << elizabeth banks is painful to watch. obnoxious as all hell, insufficiently sexy, and now getting long in the tooth. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: https://bitbet.us/ << from which we find that the twinklederps are about half as interesting as nascarface derp.
mircea_popescu: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2009/10/the_neurobiology_of_wisdom.html << this shit's epic. "Note that they dropped the "Saint." Meanwhile, there's no problem referring, a few sentences later, to Gandhi as "Mahatma." That's okay, because no educated person actually thinks Gandhi is a saint, but there are still plenty of numbskulls who need to be reminded that Aquinas isn't."
ascii_field: in the same shangri-la as the little vs big-endian debates.
mircea_popescu: but as he points out, "we've agreed, it's just what's done".
mircea_popescu: No they weren't. Leaving aside morality, cheating on your wife means that you haven't fully connected to her, or have lost some of that connection. You don't have to be Don Draper to pull that off. "Well, I want to be as suave as he is, I want to pick up girls like he can." It's the same disconnectedness. You could do it, too, then you'll lose the ability to be deeply connected to someone. You can't do both sim
funkenstein_: as to the youtube vid stuff, who knows maybe Mark Dice has some worthwhile stuff
mircea_popescu: oh, i didn;t eat it there. i was just mixing it as we had the discussion.
ascii_field: thestringpuller: if i had to guess - he nails'em to the wall, as i do
shinohai: Your enemy sure as hell cheats.
mircea_popescu: as a result, no amount of pain suffering or violence could have matured the individual. on the contrary - it drove infantilization.
mircea_popescu: what franklin spoke of was a different time. a time when adulthood was unavoidable, and as such lazy people simply succumbed to the hollow form. "hey, if no kid can tell me from any other adult, why bother."
mircea_popescu: this could, apparently, be misinterpreted as a reduction of individuality. but it'd take a teen to make the mistake.
ascii_field: (although limonov is prolly not the metric here, as he was almost entirely the same animal as orwell - complete with 'ritual' visit to a war, even got to fire a rifle, yes! cummed in his pants)
ascii_field: a good number of people were there for identical reason as mr o
ascii_field: d the detail of our lives is just as sordid and degrading as it could be in prison, let alone in a bourgeois army.’ Many other things reinforced this impression later; for instance, the boredom and animal hunger of trench life, the squalid intrigues over scraps of food, the mean, nagging quarrels which people exhausted by lack of sleep indulge in.'
mircea_popescu: it is there to JUSTIFY one's own lassitude, even as that becomes socially inacceptable.
ascii_field: see, i am at a loss here as to the logic.
ascii_field: and as if this were not enough,
mircea_popescu: in line with the "sane measure to be applied just as soon as all alternatives exhausted"
ascii_field: instituted by the school to begin with, as i understand
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell funkenstein_ what is your definition of "nothing" ? be the careful you wish to see in this world. for instance as an exercise : compare the "nothing" you falsely claimed with the "something" that was actually there, see if the conclusions ACTUALLY DRAWN by the people you read were in fact commensurate with the something that there was, IRRESPECTIVE of what your kneejerk [based on nothing] interpretation of
assbot: Logged on 19-10-2015 20:03:53; Xplosionist: I mean, I'm very glad we have people that do it. Most of whom are actually nice and do a good job. But, wow, I would never want to deal with as much crap as you have to put up with fore that job.
shinohai: "An increase in violence was reported as Jews begam kidnapping Arabs just to obtain the discount."
assbot: GAW Miners Revealed As The Jizz Moppers Supreme | Qntra ... ( http://bit.ly/1VWjEwn )
BingoBoingo: 2nd article, canonical by nao http://qntra.net/2014/10/gaw-miners-revealed-as-the-jizz-moppers-supreme/
BingoBoingo: Kind why qntra works like BitBet as a truth finding mechanism, also time weighted
mircea_popescu: the probolem with THAT is that it only works for as long as the press is firmly attached to the public mind, but the more it works the more tenouous it makes that attachment. so... notrly.
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna go, might as well go whatever way it happens
BingoBoingo: The point people are chemically engineering themselves routinely to be better at the sport in school is the point where the sport had went beyond what makes sense as a school sport.
asciilifeform: but how is the fungus man 'smooth' ? as far as i can see, he is one gigantic wrinkle, like a von koch snowflake
mircea_popescu: priscilla lane snubs eddie bartlett in the roaring twenties, and this is perceived as a visceral crime by the audience. why ?
mircea_popescu: he could as well not drink.
mircea_popescu: it never, to my knowledge, EVER worked on the silver screen as such. but the idea, even if never passibly implemented, still is valid
mircea_popescu: yes, deeply coherent people APPEAR to be narcissists, and then it's easy to mistake THAT as driving the whole show. but it is not. narcissism is merely a defense mechanism.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck ? WHAT would a woman fall in love with ? the guy is as vacuous as an ipad. he "does a good job" programming .net crap and tans.
ben_vulpes: they exist however as entirely seperate things.
ben_vulpes: cocaine and heroin only have brands insofar as the usg propaganda machine defines them to.
kakobrekla: phreedom as an app. sells well.
mircea_popescu: so politician has to resign because he "cheated" on his wife ? as if fucking is now a crime ? but the thing is... SHE WAS THERE ?
ascii_field: http://as-e.com/products-solutions/cargo-vehicle-inspection/mobile/product/zbv-with-tx-view << standard, not just backscatter, xray
ascii_field: claims, 'Its easy-to-read image quickly and clearly reveals threats like explosives, drugs, currency, and trade-fraud items such as alcohol and cigarettes—even in high-throughput environments like border crossings and security checkpoints.'
ascii_field: http://as-e.com/products-solutions/cargo-vehicle-inspection/mobile/product/zbv << go, buy! product!
ascii_field: and more pertinent re: illicit (in nyc - just about any) small arms, as well as benjie briefcases, etc
