mircea_popescu: the whole fucking
thing was whether
they get
to follow
the other sheep down
the precipice or have
to sit in
the rancho.
mircea_popescu: in other obscura : meanwhile i located
the clou of
the issue. in april 1960, at cluj, gh gh dej stated
the party recognizes
the right of writers
to express
themselves "în limbajul epocii noastre" ("in
the language of our
times"). WHOLE fucking dispute is EXACTLY over whether
the ro pantsuits get
to
the-dreamers or don't get
to
the-dreamers ; and protestations of unawareness and "vhs america" are suddewnly extrehehehehemely w
mircea_popescu always answers comments (so will refrain from pointing
this out on case by case basis) as well as sees new comments via feedbot rss (so
there';s nothing gained by pointing one out
to him)
BingoBoingo: Policeman White see fellow on Nazi watchlist "I've killed
those fuckers in xBawks game", Policeman Brown sees fellow on Obama is an animal watchlist "I ought
to buy
the man a beer and compare notes"
BingoBoingo: Well someone who wants a reich is easy
to put on a USG.lolcow watchlist. Someone who identifies Obama as an animal risks getting sympathy from
the folks employed reading USG watchlists.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-15#1902744 -> I never understood why can't
the new ones be *trained* ; esp since it's not like
they are sososo busy
that
they can't use
the
time and learn something at work.
mircea_popescu: and
this before we even discuss capacity factors (high drop like
there necessarily has low capacity factors, low drop like here
the opposite)
mircea_popescu: (at
the
time
this was completed, early 70s, it was pretty much
the largest hydro plant in
the world). hoover dam, for instance, had <2MW installed capacity, vs
the >2MW here.
mircea_popescu: whence
the difference ?
they're halves, aren't
they ? here's
the lulz : romania bought newer, nominally more efficient generating equipment.
mircea_popescu: the romanian side produces ~5.2
TWh per year.
the serbian side, ~5.7
TWh.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, since hydro was mentioned yest : one of
the largest hydro development in europe is
the "iron gates" complex, partnership between romania and serbia,
taking advantage of danube.
BingoBoingo: In
the limited
time I do remember it exists, I simply
try
to drive up crime and weapon ownership per capita
BingoBoingo: The fallout from
the decisions has degraded in sensibility over
time.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo my interest didn't survive
the hour.
turns out it's yet another by-morons for-morons
thingee.
mircea_popescu: perhaps
time
to start
talking of copy-right and demo-cracy etc.
mircea_popescu: speakinbg of which, anyone remember
the set of "anti-bitcoin"
tards grouped around usg.pantsuit office over at "something awful" going about
talking of "bit-coin" as fucking if
that did something ?
mircea_popescu: imagine
these fucktards! i can't call my imaginary nation's imaginary animal
the same as
that other imaginary nation's equally imaginary animal!
mircea_popescu: Please familiarize yourself with
the site rules on acceptable content. Restoring a mod-deleted custom field may result in your nation's deletion."

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think 256 is perfectly defensible. should be obvious what knob
to
twiddle for less or more anyway, admitting either one's
trying
to make ffa fit into
tiny embed or use it for who knows what unforeseen purpose on large machines.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
the west states << obv i mean east states, penn, ny, mass & co
mircea_popescu: who's
to say it wouldn't have been better,
tbh. note how
the "equal
to capitol" german colony
they ended up ~is very much reverting~.
they got
the matriarchy back,
they got
the stupid-lazy-itsok back, hard
to distinguish
today's "american" from yesterday's cherokee.
mircea_popescu: aha. and french period mags for kids are fulla "indian-sympathy" pieces (the french had a very unique
take
to
the gibbering nations among colonial powers,
they wanted
to make america a sorta africa, "continue
traditions undisturbed")
mircea_popescu: this said,
the french (and somewhat italian, hence all
their lolwesterns) 50s/60s "wild west" fixation did in fact produce an abstract (and not much related
to any reality) euro-cowboy, sure.
mircea_popescu: in ~this sense~ us cowboy started wearing ~a little~ denim as
the west states
textile industry developped. originally it was miner garb.
then it was extended
to make
tent sheet for army.
THEN it was
taken by cowboy
to replace
the much more expensive LEATHER
the spanish were wearing.
mircea_popescu: re
the "cowboy stuff" : all
the us "wild west" stuff is a cheap and quick daghuerotype after spanish
traditions of
the
time.
this is visible if one studies say
the horse working (this is a
term of art) as practiced in spanish-speaking lands comparatively
to english-speaking lands. everything is visibly a model
to scale, and
to
this day
the cultural overwhelm of spanish lands in all fields related is overwhelming.
diana_coman: not as if it's specific romanian
this, sadly.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I'm quite sure it's clearly visible in
today's western socialism
too.
mircea_popescu: fuck,
the exact process is visible both among a subset of
trilema commenters during
the romanian years and superset of other-romanian-bloggers,
then as now.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-14 09:56 spyked: diana_coman, I suspect
this was mostly a case of "revision is well-received, but don't change anything"; which is why iliescu/fsn had so much support and average derp saw
the
taranisti as "way
too mean" (no idea precisely what "mean" means,
that's what I've been
told)
mircea_popescu: the important part,
to my eyes, is
to underscore
that
the "being clever" was NOT, as
the "clever" in question silently ie implicitly misrepresent, a case of "choice", ie, "seeing how little i get paid i react
thusly".
the "clever" in question was very much what such "clever" ever is : "seeing what a fucktard i am,
this is what i could pretend is '''really''' going on
to not have
to confront it".
mircea_popescu: well, not you, lol. just
tryina put
the implicit explicitly for
the innocent reader.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, note
that I worded it precisely in *that* order, starting with "noi ne" . I don't know what/who you are arguing
there, lol.
mircea_popescu: so no, it's not "ei se X, noi ne Y". it's very much
the other way around : noi ne Z (=ne cacam pe noi), ei fac ce pot sa se prefaca ca de fapt nu.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, instead of saying "the party is ~exactly
truthful~ in what we ~falsely~ call propaganda, and we are making here WAY
the fuck more
than we could anywhere else, and without it we'd be exactly like zaire",
they came up with bs.
mircea_popescu: in ACTUAL FACT, romanian worker of
the 80s got ~120%
the value of his labour, by an over-welfarist government, wrote himself hallucinated options
to consider
this "insufficient"
to an entirely ridiculous standard, and proceeded from
there with a web of lies.
diana_coman: ah, it wasn't
that
they could do work, no; it was
that
they knew
they did not it
mircea_popescu: this "i could do work ~if i wanted
to~" is
the unconvincing bullshit spewing quite naturally out of any inept narcissist since before
the invention of
the word.
diana_coman: ftr in my experience it's not only a lack of practical experience but literally,
they have no real idea re what
they are supposedly selling, it's all
the same
to
them, what.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-15 02:31 mircea_popescu: i have doubts it'll survive
the passing of
the current generation,
the girlies in
the shop are utterly confused at proceedings
that seem only natural
to her and me, but what can you do.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-15 02:00 mircea_popescu: yes, romanians
thought "theyt're working".
they were playing, 9 cases out of 10.
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-15#1902641 -> "noi ne facem ca muncim, ei se fac ca ne platesc" (we pretend we work,
they pretend
they pay us); so I'd say it was more
the case
that
there were a few actually working and all
the rest being clever; just like now in a different socialism.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: was it
the prolegomene ? no such wonder
there. was it
then
the kritik, ~only book anyone can even name anyway ? mnope. WHAT COULD IT BE!!!
mircea_popescu: then
they wonder why sokal had ~0 measurable impact. duh.
mircea_popescu: whole internet fulla references
to a purely imaginary object,
that ironically enough discusses... ITSELF.
mircea_popescu: plete annihilation of all
these fanciful achievements could not possibly be as harmful as
this fictitious science with its accursed fertility.") and have
them source
teh original german.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in
today's installment of "how
to fuck over internet scholars" :
take
the chunk popper attributes
to kant ("I do not wish
to hide
the fact
that I can only look with repugnance . . upon
the puffed-up pretentiousness of all

a111: Logged on 2019-03-14 23:42 mircea_popescu: ault.
this is what
the mass-romanian is and does, nobody is needed
to "do it
to him", much like nobody's needed
to drag shit into lelea saveta's cunt. she does it, by herself, every
time she wipes.
mircea_popescu: recall
that scammy fuckwit graham's piece about how "talking is
too much
trouble" ?
mircea_popescu: in any case,
the one
thing contemporary
tard is
trained for, is
to NOT make decisions and NOT decide investments.
BingoBoingo: Here it's
torta frita. I'd go for some pork rinds. Like in old country
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> somehow, have working
taste buds, or seem
to <<
The Peruana is much better at composing flavors into food
than I am, but... her sense of smell just might be weaker
