mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the only problem is
that it
takes me ~20 minutes
to
translate one. it maybe
takes me 15 minutes
to read and fix his, except i'll also get angry. so it's a sort of economical problem.
mircea_popescu: gabrielradio
trilema
text is very fucking
tense, so it needs
this intensive approach
to work. ya know ?
mircea_popescu: this is broken in at least
two places. one of
the most x nonsense is bad grammar.
the X and otherwyse Y z's is bad style
mircea_popescu: "One of
the most ridiculous nonsense passed with pious self-importance by
the neophytes and likewise unwarranted people"
mircea_popescu: it's like "radical left" arguing with obama voters. "WE NEED
TO MOVE AWAY FROM PROPUDCERIST DARAPIGM!!1" "WHERE IS MY MORE FOOTSTAMPS!!!1"
mircea_popescu: WHAE
THINGS DUN JUS WORK I WAS BORN OF WHYTE CUNT IN AMUYRKA
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 22:07:28; mircea_popescu: i never knew i could equally hate both sides of a "debate"
to
the degree.
mircea_popescu: are
these people off
their rocker ? you can't name yourself a hedge fund with under 1 bn just like you can't call a
thing a car if it's under 1 meter long.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck is a "hedge fund" issuing stock and who
the fuck heard of a 10 mn "hedge fund"
davout: yeah,
the whole
thing materializes a government grant
punkman: not rly, I was just wondering about
the prize
davout: or "opining on"? (folks who actually speak english are more
than welcome
to correct me!)
davout: asciilifeform: is it really
that noteworthy
that a sub-minister of some sort opines on something she has really no business opining about?

to Gawker Media
they will
treat you like
trash until and past your natural death
https://archive.is/wvcwZ assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 04:36:41; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently
the freaks with super natural muscle were on
to something, and
that something was male birth control. I feel lied and cheated
to.
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 04:06:28; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently male bc, is just liek woman bc, up
the hormones
punkman: one case it doesn't mention is
that clueless client demands
to use AWS and mongodb and hadoop, because "I heard
these were popular and next week when I am a big multinational I'll need
to hire 10k developers and
they'll only know how
to use
those"
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 11:25:15; funkenstein_: i'm not sure if
this was
the goal but at
this point general USian populace won't believe
there's a shooting until
the bullets hit
them directly
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 05:29:18; Duffer1: does he say what
the injuries were
that lead him
to change? "2. Submission
to
the pigs is no longer an option. Any
time I put myself at
the mercy of a law officer
this may result in me being jailed or imprisoned.
These are options
that,
to me, are now infinitely less desirable
than death by cop."

diana_coman: fwiw I have been following
Trilema from pretty much its beginning so I'm quite familiar with most of it (not
that I wouldn't benefit from re-reading a lot of it) and I
think
there are many articles
that would be worth
translating
diana_coman: alternatively it might simply be
that I just hate
translating - I'd much rather rewrite
the
thing in my own words as an exercise in understanding it
diana_coman: he he davout
that is
true in general of course, but it's a matter of personal efficiency in a field or another
☟︎ davout: diana_coman:
that's a problem with work in general
diana_coman: I must admit
that I kind of hate doing
translation work as I find it horribly
time consuming
diana_coman: jurov, I
think gabrielradio means
that he is interested in doing
the
translation
jurov: i doubt very much mircea_popescu will
translate someone else's articles
TheNewDeal: Just wanted
to say
that I am revoking my license as of
today. I was a little sloppy with my key. I'll be back later
gabrielradio: If you're a native Romanian speaker with a very good grasp of English, I am interested
to work out an arrangement for your
translation of my older Romanian articles. Don't hesitate
to make contact for
this purpose. << mircea_popescu , is
this still of interest
to you?
nubbins`: i could kiss drew brown for including
that paragraph verbatim
davout: "Sucks, but I don't want
to sterilize perfectly good satire just so people don't have
to worry or
think." <<<
the world would be a much better place if
this stance was more common
nubbins`: this election is seriously
the most fun i've had since i don't know when
nubbins`: only media outlet
that actually bothered
to publish my
thoughts beyond
the superficial ones
nubbins`: davout i've been on cbc, yahoo news, huffington post, several local rags... vice article is
the best one
☟︎ nubbins`: ^ in which a single photograph and a facebook event allowed nubs
to spread his views on civil liberties from one coast of
this fine country
to
the other
two

☟︎☟︎ funkenstein_: i'm not sure if

the goal but at
this point general USian populace won't believe
there's a shooting until

☟︎ funkenstein_: a good old lecture on
the
topic is "Dead doctors don't lie" - joel wallach
assbot: Logged on 09-10-2015 01:49:22; mircea_popescu:
the notion
that people may read "newpspaers" made by people
they don't know.
funkenstein_: this enables one
to get free fuel behind any chinese restaurant
funkenstein_: re: diesel
thread, at one point i drove a friends retro-fitted diesel. retrofit consisted of an extra
tank and a switch
to select fuel line
funkenstein_: if you understand
this you'll see
there's no
time
to be anxious

thestringpuller: for people with anxiety disorders: what works for you other
than drugz?
jurov: wyrdmantis hw do you mean correctly? if you want hardened gentoo,
this one is right
BingoBoingo: There are pieces he has where he chronicals getting hit in
the nuts more
than any person should.
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: He has a long chronicle of past injuries.
This sudden decline is new
though and he ofers no new injury. I may be a combination of age and
the past injuries.
Duffer1: does he say what
the injuries were
that lead him
to change? "2. Submission
to
the pigs is no longer an option. Any
time I put myself at
the mercy of a law officer
this may result in me being jailed or imprisoned.

that,

than death by cop."
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Duffer1:
Try his older shit. Up until a couple weeks ago he wrote as
though he were some sort of white ape from
the Congo.
This is a precipitous decline
BingoBoingo: Who doesn't, far more
to be learned
than from
the winners?
Duffer1: i'd be impressed if
they could find a way, who wants
to read
the story of
the games losers?
BingoBoingo: May
take a while, but do you really want anyone
trying
to outdo your baptism by fire narrative?
Duffer1: ah ya man
that would be nice hehe
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Cool, keep a look out. Gotta make
those losses up somewhere.
Duffer1: alright, if i can
think of an angle i'll submit something
BingoBoingo: This is like I'd like you
to with you experience spot and write up some shit for qntra. You have
the history
to carry it
