mircea_popescu: "the culture of clubsluts and sorority girls" beats any other female culture so far out of the field it can't even be discussed, wtf. you can take one of those and make her a fat borderline sleeve in six weeks. try the fucking other way around
mircea_popescu: (intromission in marine mammals doesn't work as in terrestrials. you'd prolly call it... milking.)
mircea_popescu: odds are he won't find the popular girls sexy or even interesting, and so on.
danielpbarron wouldn't, ew.
phf: yeah, seriously that part of my brain hasn't worked in 20 some years
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron> just like Obama can't be that powerful if he can't publicly have a harem << the excuse here would be that "he could if he wanted to - doesn't want to".
danielpbarron: just like Obama can't be that powerful if he can't publicly have a harem
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron doesn't matter because lemonde.fr isn't going around pretending like what you say matters!!!1eleventeen
danielpbarron: gavin can't say the things that i can say, and in that sense he is much less free than I am
asciilifeform: Mar 31 09:31:56 <mircea_popescu>he has his idiosyncratic criteria, which fit the events. and change with teh events. << this is unfounded. all i ever said on subj is 'gavin is exempt from arbeit macht frei, doesn't commute, doesn't punch clock'. turns out - true. (unless mircea_popescu has intel suggesting otherwise ?)
phf: i can also see why it would have a 7/10 rating, because it won't be seen as a satire, the characters are also the audience, words like "poignant" "reconnecting" "estranged" will be used, but of course there all kinds of things to nit pick for connoisseurs of independent movies which are better than hollywood, but are easy to apply npr-speak while completely missing the point, and the meta circularity makes my head heart. hence-- painful
shinohai: Aren't there kabbalists that look for such hashes in Scripture?
shinohai: +asciilifeform ^ answers the old riddle, 'does gavin have to rot in an office' <<< a cage is a cage still, isn't it?
PeterL: shinohai hipster don't shit in the road
PeterL: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i still can't fathom why bicycle is permitted but not horse. << horses leave piles of stinky shit lying everywhere, nobody wants their roads covered in shit
phf: well, i think in this case it's an attempt to throw sand, like "other early scholarly texts i read that you idiots didn't have wholly different words in there"
danielpbarron: right, I don't mind going back to original greek if that's what's actually being done
mircea_popescu: "oh wait... i don't want anyone to fuck me... so... how about holding hands ?"
danielpbarron: apparently there's even a "silver rule" which changes the "do unto" into "don't do unto"
phf: i didn't get that far :)
phf: mircea_popescu: i can't argue the substance, but in weizenbaum's case he was saying therapy requires empathy, where's therapists were talking up eliza
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron isn't that sorta witchcraft sinful ?
phf: alf recommended it, but i haven't gotten through it yet
BingoBoingo: phf: I haven't read it, but I don't see anything wrong with the idea
BingoBoingo needs to find a new therapist. Emacs just hasn't been cutting it since I sobered up. Anyone know a better chatbot for this. Preferably one I can run in emacs?
phf: but couldn't you give it to charity?
asciilifeform: 'we didn't burn any bread!'
phf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6q4n5TQnpA via jwz, an old interview with klf after they burned million pounds, for the amusement of #t-a ☟︎
mircea_popescu: teh frenchwoman : "ah, it was fabulous, the first day i was the wife of pierre and jean-luc was my secret lover and autre-pierre was my autre-secret lover and then next day stephen was my husband but he didn't know i was secretly married to lucien and also..."
mircea_popescu: teh english rose : "oh, had a lovely time, went for long walks on the beach..." "but what about the men ?" "oh, i did see some gentlemen, but we weren't introduced."
pete_dushenski: can't bring myself to calculate how [much] rich[er] i'd be at such rates.
mircea_popescu: i used to do the same thing, but meanwhile moved in a country where everyone pisses in the govt's face. (seriously, teh unions are actually putting up ads going "ganancia no es ingreso", ie, they don't have fucking income tax here)
pete_dushenski: i don't think my lavishly publicised expenditures on eizos and lexuses are going to help that effort.
pete_dushenski: so i largely avoid expenses that i can't bill to a company in one manner or another.
pete_dushenski: you pretty much can't crash 'investment car' hard enough that you'd lose every penny you ever sunk into it.
mircea_popescu: by and large, if you can't shoot it yourself, the land is shitland.
mircea_popescu: i'm arguing with a composite of people i don't know.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i still can't fathom why bicycle is permitted but not horse.
mircea_popescu: if they get a power and don't use that power they don't hang for failure to use.
asciilifeform: hey apparently it wasn't obvious ?
mircea_popescu: that one can't find the string he's looking for in the algebra is, at most, an indictment of the one.
mircea_popescu: hey, don't take this the wrong way, i understand why there isn't one, which is why ~i~ haven't said anything about it.
mircea_popescu: it means something about structures of meaning, and that's about all. it doesn't even insist you don't go "lalala i cant' hear".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo> "She wanted the buoy," he recalled. "I said: 'There's been some damage done, due to the loss of days, and time,' and she said she's not authorized to relinquish any money. At that point, she said: 'Don't you know we're the US government?'" <<< bwahahaha
pete_dushenski: hm, don't recall atm
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: if you don't care for the answer, i won't bother to try and convince you. i believe that we already had good thread about this in the old logz, with davout even (who is stuck with the actual surgery)
trinque: ben_vulpes: many things called themselves republic throughout history, but I don't see how there being a court precludes there being a republic.
pete_dushenski: in other news, i managed to [absent-mindedly] get a 0txfee tx broadcast, and am now waiting to see if any miners are going to snap it up. doesn't look like there are many 0txfees being incorporated into blocks atm, so i'm not holding my breath on a quickee
BingoBoingo: "She wanted the buoy," he recalled. "I said: 'There's been some damage done, due to the loss of days, and time,' and she said she's not authorized to relinquish any money. At that point, she said: 'Don't you know we're the US government?'"
phf: two types of references that are fairly easy to produce are back links (that's the one working) and << refs that aren't quite there yet
mircea_popescu: historically, romanian army conquered the city, derps as they are moved straight into the previous high command. which the soviets had mined. and the romanians didn't bother to check. so it blew up.
mircea_popescu: for srs. an as best anyone can discern, it really wasn't even intentional.
mircea_popescu: you don't mean the one where they display king carol ist of romania's approval, do you ?
mircea_popescu: hey, you didn't want kings, you got no kings!
mircea_popescu: i haven't really been following hence.
mircea_popescu: when i first left romania, "everyone" was pretty sure that ain't never happening. even had driver carry distraught damsel all the way to airport, 400 miles, and then carry her bawwing earthly coil back to cluj.
asciilifeform: PeterL: aaaactually i can't move because wurk
PeterL: asciilifeform arn't you the one who is always complaining you can't move because you need "real food"? yet now you say you have none where you are?
phf: there was that "if i were an evil overlord thing i will and won't do" list, which ranted on that point
mircea_popescu: sweet innocent girl sitting next to me watching the apcs storm past the sewer was like "don't they know where the sewer is ?"
asciilifeform: Mar 30 10:07:22 <shinohai>tl;dr USer puts 43 BTC on a paper wallet he doesn't understand. << wtf is a 'piper wallet' ?
shinohai: tl;dr USer puts 43 BTC on a paper wallet he doesn't understand.
mats: shit their pants and didn't even get inside city limits yet
mats: history repeats itself -- iraqis are evidently clever enough to know they can't win
asciilifeform: but can't ~link~ to this.
mircea_popescu: didn't you say you wanted it to work like grep ?
mircea_popescu: phf quite exactly. which is why i don't use the term nor think much of reasonings employing it as a rule.
mircea_popescu: this definition was obtained through negotiation in class ; teacher had speech mania of saying "obvious", we protested, eventually the poor guy couldn't be needled into the ground with it so this solution was agreed upon and upheld by all parties.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, illustrations abound. from "the ratio of circumference to diameter" plouffe doesn't actually follow.
phf: mircea_popescu: i didn't understand that last question
asciilifeform: 'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.' (tm) (r)
trinque: nah, didn't see any gods in there myself.
phf: well, danielpbarron believes in god, i (for sake of conversation) don't. that's a non-transferable prior, though of course both can be transferred through various involved mechanisms. indoctrination, dialogues, sudden insight
phf: right, when i say non-sharable, i don't mean, can't be verbalized
phf: i don't understand it and it matches my construct of other person's framing
asciilifeform: generally i in particular don't 'this is crazy' unless 'this' pattern-matches known types of insanity in my buffer
mircea_popescu: so "whatever i don't understand is crazy" ?
mircea_popescu: what's "crazy" ? and plox don't tell me "that which diverges from the consensus of average derps", if possible.
trinque: I don't see the crazy myself, but perhaps "we're all mad here!"
phf: danielpbarron expressed some concern that the following part of yesterdays #b-a log was an accusation made by me against mircea_popescu. i don't see it, but perhaps i'm missing something? http://paste.lisp.org/display/311820/raw
PeterL: meh, a couple people poked their heads in, no more than any other time in #b-a, I don't see any corpse-munching yet
pete_dushenski: the 'mp as b/t-cell' theory is holding water is it
asciilifeform: 'why an ant can't eat you... already in use' and 'kelvin death ... door lock'
mircea_popescu: by which i mean that a) all use is already in use - sure, an ant can't eat you, because of it - but you kinda already both know and use this and b) all uses not already in use are monstrously cataclysmic and temporally unapproachable. so the kelvin death, really ? oooo, neat, lemme make that into a doorlock!
mircea_popescu: he works for the republic even as he doesn't know it. and the eu printing press is paying for it. wonder of wonders.
asciilifeform: you don't, it's a sc4m
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you didn't miss much
mircea_popescu: if the dumbass thing weren't a pdf, i might have made a trilema blast piece. which perhaps explains why it is pdf.
DianaComan: I don't get what you are on really; I said: to see if I am positive or negative, not even comparing to you, just very crude: today my eulora account is worth 1btc, tomorrow it is worth 1.5btc or 0.5btc
mircea_popescu: isn't it meaningless ?
asciilifeform: but then my demo ran out and i got booted, and haven't played since)
asciilifeform: it takes time in the sense that i can't do it on the stake
mircea_popescu: it doesn't take much time to play. bots.
asciilifeform: i haven't a 3d card. or a 4:3 display. or time.
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder you don't play eulora, for these reasons.
mircea_popescu: phf don't forget crystal space.
mircea_popescu: but this isn't addition's fault is it!
phf: asciilifeform: well, you don't have to go to that extreme, you can just import a symbol from own package and shadow cl:+ but that's not to be confused with builtin mechanism of "this function dispatches on many types"
phf: common lisp doesn't let you redefine +, it does have somewhat sane numeric tower
mircea_popescu: i don't mean circumcision. i mean the split that usually happens in uncircumcised males once they get into their own and vigurously fuck a damsel.
