pete_dushenski: and i'll
take your word for it on nicholson. strangely, i've only seen him in 'batman', 'anger management', and 'the departed', which were all when he was older. past his prime clearly.
pete_dushenski: but harper (conservative incumbent) is essentially correct, so no huge shock
that he's increased his lead in polls. it's his
to lose and he hasn't
tripped up yet. not bad after a decade in power, really.
phf: pete_dushenski: i don't know how successful kesey was at capturing
the mind of a schizophrenic, but he certainly was good at relaying an inner state of an acid head.
the movie is something else entirely, but still great, since it's basically jack nicholson playing his only role at his best.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: i should say, 'one of
the commies',
there are
two main commie parties in canada : 'new democratic party' and 'liberal party'
pete_dushenski: the commie pretty much hung himself last week in saying
that he'd defend niqabists.
the incumbent conservative
told
the pakis
to pack
their bags, essentially affirming
that
this is a christian country with christian values

the 1900s
pete_dushenski: still haven't seen
the movie with nicholson et al. but it's supposed
to be a decent flick, if not
the most accurate of
transpositions
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 20:07:23; asciilifeform: intimidation of chumps, as in 'lie detector', will
take care of
two
thirds of
the 'patients'
pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell ben_vulpes keep
the blog posts acomin' please !
BingoBoingo: What
they don't
tell people about
the pipe dream is what really goes
through
the pipe
mircea_popescu: where's
the "and
then i harassed some nurses" chapter in
the man's own rendering of his saga ?
mircea_popescu: ustardian so far lost in
this "telling your own story" pipe dream, can't even
tell a story anymore.
mircea_popescu: just like bums drag around broken iphones.
they might not work, but fuck, he's practically like almost one step removed from actual humanity.
those great fabulous half-god creatures
that actually use iphones and actually have professions.
mircea_popescu: the irony being
that
they exactly got it :
these fucktards actually believe gonzalez@gmail.com is "moar professional".
mircea_popescu: "Gmail Para
Tu Negocio Ahora podés verte más profesional con un e-mail personalizado."
mircea_popescu: loo kwhat
the chinese coolie earned in singapore in
the same
times.
mircea_popescu: the people in
those various
times were supported by earnest empire.
mircea_popescu: and
that was a rather direct result of "freedom
to experiment".
mircea_popescu: i dunnop
that
there existed anything more offensive
than
the jewish ghetto of eastern europe cca 1920.
mircea_popescu: maybe part of why
they got fucking exterminated like cows was
that
they LIVED LIKE FUCKING COWS ?????
mircea_popescu: all
the coats were gray from all
the home heating expwerimentation, and 40% of
the population lived off processing garbage.\
mircea_popescu: that was a place where very much such freedom
to experiment.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile if you're curious and bored, read
the coupla excellent mongraphs re life in london cca 1800.
mircea_popescu: so yeah, if only we could experiment with height i could fuck
throats standing.
mircea_popescu: a
tall guy
that has visible parkinson and a short guy happen in
the same restroom
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, you know
the joke with
the short guy in
the public restroom ?
mircea_popescu: and since we're picking on
the structure of reality, why not
the freedom
to be a different height. maybe if you could experiment with height you'd have more pleasant urinatory experiences or who knows what.
mircea_popescu: yeah. except
the absence of
this freedom is no proof
that
the freedom would benefit, and your hypotheses as presented are unpersuasive.
mircea_popescu: and in yet another branch off
this
tree, im not even sure your ideas of selection would be a net positive.
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 00:18:24; asciilifeform: cabbie: 'this ford is a piece of shit. stalled again.' mircea_popescu: 'i have a solution!' cabbie: 'oh???111' mircea_popescu: 'here, have
this broomstick.' cabbie: 'how do i drive customers on
that, feed my family' mircea_popescu: 'you misunderstand, my good man. you stuff it in your arse.' cabbie: 'and... how does
this feed by family?' mircea_popescu: 'no, you sit
there with it in.'
mircea_popescu: you're still free
to associate. buy a building, let your own slavegirls populate it frere of charge.
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, also wheree you live, anything but oxygen respiration is forbidden by biology.
mircea_popescu: but it does not automatically make
the emplaced system unoptimal.
mircea_popescu: problem is,
they distinguish him by how he doesn't fuck goats like
they all doi.
mircea_popescu: a la cecens.
they can distinguish non-worthy dogfucker, yes.
mircea_popescu: but at
the massive cost of not doing anything worth
the mention ever.
mircea_popescu: people like
the orcs
themselves are eversoslighty better at it\
mircea_popescu: while designing a rocket factory
that also produces jam.
mircea_popescu: and
this is not even fucking paramount or nlc ; and
those are jack shit, basically
they produce footage, big whoop.
try making an atomic dirigible next.
mircea_popescu: modest studio = 6 camera people + 9 or so
trainees ; about
two dozen fluffers + administrative assistants ; about 2-300 models ; cleanning and maintenance crew ; execs and other suits.
mircea_popescu: even something as
tiny as a porn studio will not be served by
the model.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> in
the old-fashioned, meatspace, dunbar sense. <<
the OTHER problem with
this is
that
there isn't eno9ugh space in
the dunbar-based graph
to cram everything you need.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty much
the only
thing working
to starve reddit into submission.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i hear
that not-breeding-them-in-the-first-place also worked great <<< how
the fuck are you gonna manage
this wonder. so you select a woman. and her spawn will... regress
to
the mean. of course. and she'll love it anwyay. of course. and now what ?
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that given a facebook friendlist of 50k imbecile 20something females who, if asked "like
to read" and
then if pressed are apparently unaware
that books EVEN HAVE AUTHORS
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the problem is not identification in
the sense of
this x =
the x we know
to be ok.
mircea_popescu: your working projector intended for a home was 1k new,
their "cinema multiplexo!11" projector was prolly 2k and
they bought it on
time, so paid 5k or w/e.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'dlp' (mems array) with laser illumination. less
than 1k usd when it was new. << un minimo respeto por el imbeciliator! argentina no es un pais pobre porque es rico en recursos umanos.
