trinque: they can pick on
teenagers for
their normal sexuality, and so
they do
trinque: I don't know
that it's anything as centrally organized as Orwell's
thing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Hanbot includes
the news where he now plea guilty, also hard
to pass up her particular style of condemnation of evil
trinque: and you know, knocked around by
the legal system a bit
trinque: maybe
the cops just enjoy
their fap material young.
trinque: re: qntra what of
the police officer's actively seeking
to collect naked
teen pix
mircea_popescu: all education is an exercise in rape.
that it's done by
the state just improves
the odds of it being unpleasant,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the su had
the exact same, exactly equally conscious goal.

thestringpuller:
to change running process and storage in way
that bitcoin client is validating invalid blocks...
mircea_popescu: it's a sort of misery
that masquerades as "good enough".
pete_dushenski: i wish 21 could be relied upon
to publish sales data, which
they aren't, or else i'd
try
to short
the
tards
mircea_popescu: and i gotta learn
to form my ideas in subsecond rather
than subminute intervals, or else i just repeat
the damned log!
mircea_popescu: yeah, doubt
the 1k a pop scenario is possible, amd never had good mb support.
pete_dushenski: which makes sense given
that
their parents are breathing down
their necks 2' from
the court
pete_dushenski: phf: after watching a bit more of
that u19 boys doubles vid, both sides are awfully nervous
phf: pete_dushenski: right, according
the wikipedia it's a series of lobs, followed by drop shot
phf: one side is doing
the whole jump and direct hit, where's
the other side counters equally strong, but
then sneak lower energy response
to
the net. in
the video chinese guy doesn't clear it
though
pete_dushenski: phf: maybe you're refering
to full court 'lobs' ?
these'd be called 'clears' en anglais
phf: pete_dushenski: i don't know any of
the proper english
terminology, but your video precisely illustrates my point
pete_dushenski: and yes, hitting
the net is loss of point, but other
than
that, sounds legal/legit
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 15:28:09; pete_dushenski: "AMD's
top microprocessor architect Jim Keller has walked from
the chip vendor, just months after
the company unveiled a shift in strategy
to reinvest in high-end FX CPUs. Keller quit on Friday, having returned
to AMD in 2012 after most recently working at Apple."
cazalla: i guess handball is as ambiguous as football
the world over
then
mircea_popescu: actually
the wall
thing didn't have a [single] name but it was perfectly acceptable passtime for getting
the players
together for a game o' football.
cazalla: no ace king queen jack dunce
then i guess as we did here
mircea_popescu: cazalla it's
that
thing where you're supposed
to shoot at a small goal gate from no closer
than 7 meters
cazalla: mircea_popescu,
the romanian handball is 5-6 squares with no wall or
the shitty 1v1 or 2v2 players hit against
the wall
type of hand ball?
phf: the height of chic was
to get an opponent into a dunking game, and
then do a light drop right by
the net. perfectly execute resulted in shuttle skirting
the edge and dropping on
the other side. not sure if
that's properly legal
though. many a games have been lost because somebody wanted
to show off and ended up hitting
the net on own side
mircea_popescu: drinking games mostly consist of "guess what article of clothing
the boys are
thinking about - if you guess right you gotta show it, if not
take it off!"
trinque: this is what I
thought badminton was for as well; something absurd
to do while drinking socially
trinque: bocce is in my mind
the essential old people's backyard drinking game
phf: pete_dushenski: doubles look weak
though, like
they are playing
tennis, wouldn't fly with our
teachers, since you were going
to get one at
the net, once you started camping so far back
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so did americans, but it's not really sustainable for
them ALL
to get
that pension
they were promised. so
they won't
mircea_popescu: in
today's fun exotism, curling means "ass I lick" in romanian.
phf: pete_dushenski:
those videos make me itch, lol
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 14:57:28; pete_dushenski: ' mean
to
the people ?
pete_dushenski: but really it's mostly
the former, old ppl and small
town folk
pete_dushenski: in canada,
the equivalent
to
the 'sport for old ppl and chicks of
third gender' is curling
cazalla: handball was boys only down under, cant ever recall seeing girls play but many competitive boys matches amongst all
the grades
mircea_popescu: and
the proper phraseology for a challenge, "hey, can you do
this ?"
mircea_popescu: literally,
the most common dismissal in kid circles was, "anyone could do
that".
mats: its accessible
to
the infirm and
therefore, what...?
mats: i don't get
the basis for
this 'old people and chicks of
the
third gender' shtick.
mircea_popescu: (i am not seriously proposing
there's objective hierarchy
to
the respectability of sports, if
that's not obvious. merely recording lived history)
mircea_popescu: honestly, most everyone was more open minded
than romanians
throughout forever. most hardline soviets in soviet union, would have hung nikita if possible after
that
thing. heck, ceausescu was
trying
to convince gorbacev of
the errors of
the past in 1987
phf: well, i didn't know anyone else playing badminton except our group, purely on account said father and his wife being some sort of ranked competing amateur level at some point of
their lives. but i've never encountered
the whole "badminton is not real sport" until i came
to u.s.
phf: mircea_popescu: huh,
that's really odd, not much of
that in su
mircea_popescu: (this is what you get when
the state embraces sports and you get mandatory sport in school and whatnot)
mircea_popescu: right, so volleyball and handball were
the faggoty sports in
that it's what
the girls (and some guys) did. whereas you were supposed
to play football like god intended, or MAYBE basketball. badminton was literally, healthclub fare, for old people and chicks of
the
third gender.
mircea_popescu: as far as anyone could imagine, russia was going
the way of ex euro colonies in africa.
mircea_popescu: phf well
they weren't priceless antiques yet. and i doubt many people seriously saw a putin future back
then.
mircea_popescu: it wasn't even gay, like volley or what's
that other
thing, minisoccer with hands ?
pete_dushenski: the backyard sorta game
that most everyone knows is exactly
this
phf: i've not seen a chinese export, until
the first wave of chelnok came back with bag full of stuff from
turkey (traded as i recently discovered for priceless pre-soviet antiques for pennies)
pete_dushenski: i guarantee
that
there were private clubs in soviet russia
that had feather shuttles
pete_dushenski: when i was in china,
the giant stadiums full of badminton players, all of whom i coulda mopped
the floor with, used... plastic.
mircea_popescu: romania was awash in chinese exports. including
the "drawing sets" and whatnot.
