assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 23:38:34; diana_coman: gotta say
though
that I can (and did) get him
to freeze by using a certain
tone
nubbins`: 50 randomly generated boards, with increasingly difficult enemies,
two hits and you're dead
nubbins`: man,
the final level in
this captain
toad is a worthy challenge
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 22:42:29; anton_osika: But I will go on in my venture
to find a way
to verify my identity.
mircea_popescu: anton_osika i don't understand what you
think pgp sigs have
to do with phuctor ?
mircea_popescu: it's like, soviet citizen goes
to paris, ahs a decent meal,
then is like... "ima sneak
these steaks back into leningrad"
nubbins`: modern smugglers: middle-aged women sneaking sealskin
tennis shoes back home in
their luggage
nubbins`: "One lady, she bought a pair of
the sealskin sneakers. She said, 'I'm
taking my chance. I really want
them and I'm going
to
take my chance.'"
nubbins`: "Most
tourists from
the United States have no idea
they're not permitted
to
take sealskin products back into
their country. When Prince explains
the situation, she said
they're flabbergasted."
mircea_popescu: the rest... fuck it, you got your own life
to fuck up.
mircea_popescu: trinque imo it's much better
to let kids play
their little mmorpg of reality. just explain
to
them how
to level, and how
to distinguish paladins from necromancers and lower level from high
nubbins`: thinking of a few
things
to make w/ it
trinque: mircea_popescu: hm yeah, even
that is euphemistically skirting
the issue of "was commanded A, did B"
mircea_popescu: btw, had some spledid kimchi with my sushi at
this local japanese guy's place
nubbins`: i found a jar of kimchi
that i made april 11 in
the back of
the fridge
today
nubbins`: altho
tbf
the north eats kimchi
too.
nubbins`: south korean cuisine, on
the other hand
mircea_popescu: and who
the fuck decided you even GET
to have "expectations". and if you do, why can't it ? it expects
the government
to fix his bed wetting now!
mircea_popescu: maybe
that's what happens for doing so much less [in school]
than what was EXPECTED of him.
mircea_popescu: suppose your wife dies in a car crash next year. which can happen, as it happens
thousands of
times each year. was it
the kid's failurew
that did it ? no ? how do you know ?
mircea_popescu: and
then b) supposing
the kid is dumb enough
to actually buy it, how
the fuck is it going
to balance anxiety
throughout his life ?
mircea_popescu: *
trinque [...] a very angry man about why what I did was below what was expected of me << for
the record, i don't
think very much of
this entire "expectations" verbiage/bs. if you
think a little about it, so would you. a) what sort of fucking powerless vulnerable schmuck lets himself get into
the position of DEPENDING on a kid ?
that's what you're saying. don't say
that, not only is it not
true it's also very stupid.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <diana_coman> you mean you get a
teaspoon of honey whenever he has a
tantrum ? :))) << ehehehe see,
this is why women are stuck with raising kids.
cazalla: gets
the empty
toilet paper roll and goes around
the skirting boards pretending
to vacuum
too
cazalla: yeah
that's interesting eh, my son even copies
the way i walk, gets behind me and
tries
to
time
the footsteps and all
diana_coman: and
they do nothing else
than watch; intently
trinque: that's perfectly healthy
too
trinque: oh, nothing's going
to stop a screaming baby
trinque: I
think it's perfectly normal for
the desires of
the kid and parent
to be completely at odds
diana_coman: at one point I got him
to another room,
told him
to call me when he's done with it
trinque: and not as if
this was all
the
time; I didn't like it, you see :P
trinque got a kick in
the ass, and a conversation with a very angry man about why what I did was below what was expected of me
cazalla: not whenever nor everytime, just when it gets so bad
that i'm about
to have a
tantrum myself
trinque: boy did I grow up in a
time of cultural
transition, lol
diana_coman: you mean you get a
teaspoon of honey whenever he has a
tantrum ? :)))
cazalla: prob hanging myself by reinforcing such behaviour with sweetness
though eh
cazalla: teaspoon of honey goes over well when it comes
to foot stamping :P
diana_coman: gotta say
though
that I can (and did) get him
to freeze by using a certain
tone
☟︎ diana_coman: ahahah cazalla gotta
try
that with mine (almost 3yo) next
time
cazalla: and i've made
the war face and had staring competition with
the kid when having a
tantrum, he doesn't budge so quickly

trinque: god yes, lets project our weakness as far as possible into space
mircea_popescu: "how come all
they ever do is break more of
their neighbour's shit!"
mircea_popescu: expecting "the citizenry"
to "rebel" and "fix
the politics" is not unlike expecting
the bearing balls in your busted wheel
to rebel and fix your planetary.
mircea_popescu: they just do what's dopne and
that's all
there is
to it.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 21:04:22; cazalla: goes beyond
the parents
these days
though, kids are seen as owned by
the community and all
that shit, i expect
to meet a lot of opposition and resistance in
the years ahead
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1272772 << it's very funny
to me
that all sorts of social media derps
take
total umbrage
to my stating
things like "your sexual parts are collectively owned by
the otyher gender", but
then
the community-ownership oif
the product
thereof is fairly uncontroversial.
this is best proof if one needs proof
that no, people don't do anything because.
☝︎ trinque: if
they're wired for anything else how not
that?
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 20:51:27; cazalla: not at 20 months, maybe 6-7 years of age.. but who knows, maybe i've grown soft having not had a fight or been punched in some
time
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 20:47:22; cazalla:
trinque, i really don't
think
they'd understand or be able
to make a connection between
their behaviour and your reaction
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 20:45:19;
trinque: because reason is something you fall out of
the womb with, not something carved into your haphazard mess of a brain
trinque will have
to load
the
thing up in dosbox one day and finally defeat it
trinque: mircea_popescu: looked up
the levels; I must've stopped at 29, as I recall
the water
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 20:28:52; danielpbarron: level starts with dominoes set up, and you have
to move
them around so
that you can push one and have
them all fall over. And
there are different
types
that react different ways
mircea_popescu: "american" is not a
thing,
to begin with. he just lives
there.
☟︎ thestringpuller: I would assume American who goes
to Bob's Burgers everyday for lunch would be less inclined
to
throw molotov and bricks in Bob's windows during "revolt/riot" but doesn't seem
to be case.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 20:25:04;
trinque: ah I loved playing lemmings on DOS
mircea_popescu: well at
the
time
the romanians considered
they owned
the place. ie,
the shops.
thestringpuller: Black kid gets killed by white cop, people start
throwing molotovs at cars and storefronts and shit.
mircea_popescu: the secret police broke a dozen display windows down on
the main street.
that was most of it.
thestringpuller: the revolution in Romania during
the late 80's didn't involve rioting?
mircea_popescu: where
the fuck is
that picture i had of
the FOOTBALL FANS packed quietly and safely 10x in
the stadium cca 80s
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 19:58:20; nubbins`: mp can probably relate
tales of .ro folk going apeshit in streets in late 80s, early 90s, and
they weren't muslim
thestringpuller: rioting doesn't do anything
tho except
tear down your neighbor's business.
mircea_popescu: "people" don't do anything for any other reason
than because "that's what's done".
thestringpuller: lol. or how black people responded
to
the Rodney King verdict (or
the cops who beat him)
mircea_popescu: which is why
the french strike every week and japanese never did. what
treatment ?
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 19:57:55; nubbins`: going apeshit in
the streets is generally a direct result of
treatment, either by other citizens or government
mircea_popescu: the people who immigrated into
the us ~back when
the us was a shithole~ made it great.
the people who immigrated after it was great made it a shithole again.
thestringpuller: this convo reminds me of
that old sci-fi show "Alien Nation"
mircea_popescu: that's
the big
thing.
the upwards mobile refugee is
the prototype of
the scumbag.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 19:49:58;
trinque: europe cannot maintain
the political myth
that people are equal, fungible, interchangable without accepting
these refugees.
