asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the court thing happens if there is dispute (normally there is) about payment
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: It certainly does, just yesterday I heard a girl maybe a few years older myself bragging (in a thick western accent) about her mother doing Cocaine and Ecstasy while heavily pregnant, and how "she turned out alright"

asciilifeform: but disobeying a written order is one of the few simple ways.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform afaik the way usg works, the check shows up no matter what

mircea_popescu: it's HOW THE WORLD WORX!11
assbot: Sex workers at risk of violence as the internet cuts demand for their services ... ( http://bit.ly/1Q9M6DF )
cazalla: http://www.theage.com.au/national/sex-workers-at-risk-of-violence-as-the-internet-cuts-demand-for-their-services-20150909-gjj54s.html "They say violence is a daily part of their life. The most common forms are biting, slapping, pinching, hair pulling, verbal abuse and rough sex, which they say is present in almost every interaction." sounds like sex to me
mircea_popescu: woman may not agree to fucking and usian may not tell the politruk to get lost.
asciilifeform: one? two?
asciilifeform: how many dead evicting sheriffs total
mircea_popescu: they're like retarded women, these people. fucking is bad, and may only be done if "overcome".
ben_vulpes cannot wait for the reprise
mircea_popescu: yet nobody seems to have learned from the experience.
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny how the 2008 festival bought TONS of "not making mortgage - get fucked" folks
mircea_popescu: in the street, dancing for nickles ?
mircea_popescu: he... he had to make the rent.
mircea_popescu: oh, really. i'm sure that's what it was yes.
asciilifeform: generally, folks who need to MAKE THE FUCKING RENT eventually 'taci si suge.'
mircea_popescu: so did he slap the bouncer ?
ben_vulpes: was it going to go on his PERMANENT RECORD!?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's when the bouncer shows you the door, aha. they had (i was told) some of these, also.
mircea_popescu: apparently the magic words of "i don't recall asking you anything" weren't invented in the us yet or something.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: sometimes he ~is~ around the corner.
ben_vulpes: you're too wrapped up in this su/germanic "omg the inquistor is right around the corner" routine
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at least one fella didn't, was threatened - in writing - with sacking for breach of protocol if he were ever found outside of his assigned cattle stall again.
mircea_popescu: you probably also sit around and wait to "be seated" in restaurants ?
ben_vulpes: you got bought, ergo there was value.
ben_vulpes: that just speaks to the incompetence of your own managerial staff.
mircea_popescu: so wait, you actually listened to him ?
asciilifeform: the walls, the doors - were built. but dominance games.
mircea_popescu: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/34181/34181-h/34181-h.htm << must read, by the way. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: when i worked, briefly, for a megacorp (it bought the little outfit i was in at the time) we were moved to a virtually EMPTY building, placed - all two dozen of us - in the middle of an EMPTY floor, having forty or so proper door-closey offices, and a flunkie was sent JUST TO WATCH THAT NO ONE MOVED INTO THEM
ben_vulpes: doors are costly because 'entrepreneurs' cannot afford the space burn on walls.
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 19:20:34; asciilifeform: if you ask for a closing door, or to work remotely, it is usually seen as a demand to play tetris instead of work.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271589 << no, you just don't understand how actually impoverished even your nominal 'masters of the universe' actually are ☝︎

mircea_popescu: clearly the internet has so much helped ☟︎
mircea_popescu: fucking ridiculous, we're reduced to oral history.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i had the distinct notion that he was beheaded.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if i hadn't set up a fresh gentoo box a year ago, from vacuum, i would not be certain that it is possible to do so today
mircea_popescu: there was an efim pavlovich slavsky working for the "medium machine building" soviet nuke programme.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271451 << and this, my tragedy. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 17:36:44; asciilifeform: funkenstein_: since you apparently missed the whole thread, the reason is TO HAVE A PORTABLE UNIX BOX THAT EVEN SORT-OF WORKS

mircea_popescu: da fuck is this man talking about
mircea_popescu: actually... who the fuck was "slavski" ?!
asciilifeform vaguely recalls that slansky was one of the last to be ~guillotined~ in cz
mircea_popescu: got slavski > slanski ; malenko > beria, abakumov, > hruschiov etc. not bad tbh

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg0JshvRxfE << you ever heard this one ?

mircea_popescu: zee germans still haven't dug their way out from under the deluge of "nordic system"
asciilifeform: turns out queinnec was never there, it seems,
mircea_popescu: arguably in the same circumstances : usg derpiong finally crashed a local power sturcture, waves of ro/bg/polish/east german etc came crashing down
asciilifeform: btw i take back 'inria was once useful'
mircea_popescu: coincidentally - since the previous wave of orcs hit yurp.
asciilifeform: just have the right shade of skin.
mircea_popescu: i don't know what the fuck they do, past "nothing usable or useful since 1990s"
asciilifeform: point being that these folks do not need to be interested in inriaism to get fat sinecures there
asciilifeform: you think they pascal at mit ?!
mircea_popescu: unless they add rape to the meaning of "automatique" i don't see the immigrants that interested in derping pascal.
asciilifeform: in this sense.
mircea_popescu: mit has ~800 of those.
mircea_popescu: this thing is like an endowment in stuff and things chairdom.
ben_vulpes: wait, is it /their/ MIT or the USG MIT?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: inria is sorta like their mit.
trinque: tsipras was the greek minister of used to work at valve or something
ben_vulpes: over my head, asciilifeform. as though i were five, please?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in the exact way that, to borrow a mircea_popescuism, tsipras is greek.
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 23:14:41; mircea_popescu: (the other thing is that while the audience is struggly to follow [some appear to merely struggle to appear to be struggling to follow], or to even see, brin has this very clearly cut disapproving disappointment on his face, like a major stupidity was just uttered and well... they'll never know.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271992 << he had this expression more or less permanently affixed, aha. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: sounds perfectly yidish, like, "bitch you gotta jlop for tonite" or "what's she all jlop't up for"
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> meh seemed preddy obvious i was responding to your question and not what random nig nogs do on twitter << srsly. "Black digital inteligentsia" ? can we get back to not caring about rihanna spears or w/e it was.
asciilifeform: but somehow i doubt this is what kakobrekla's friend does.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: thing is, i would happily take the 10k for 'make sure this box stays up and does x, we don't care what you do otherwise'
kakobrekla: things you dont love with all your heart. sys admin, pythoning, stuff like that
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 23:49:09; kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271589 < actually i know of a few slovenians remoting to work for mericans pulling north of 10k/mo (which is 5 times what they would get here)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1272014 << what do they do ? and for how long ? ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 23:03:50; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271551 << there is, actually. harem. the romans you mentioned did this deliberately, it was called "veteran settlement".
cazalla: meh seemed preddy obvious i was responding to your question and not what random nig nogs do on twitter
pete_dushenski: next time : specify 'that' and s/right/correct and i won't be so cofuzed
pete_dushenski: cazalla: aha. that. yes, looks to be fixed from my end. thx!
pete_dushenski: "a cohort of what I would like to call the “black digital intelligentsia” has emerged. They wrestle with ideas, stake out political territory, and lead, very much in the same way that my generation did, only without needing, or necessarily wanting, a home in the Ivy League—and by making their name online."
