mircea_popescu: about 50% of romania's foreign investment in
the early 90s came from young colorful men plying
that
trade abroad.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, who
the fuck can eat
them. it literally looks like 10x my daily meat intake, and im a consummate carnivore.
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 00:26:41; mircea_popescu: ahahaha wouldn't
they like
to "bring democracy"
to china
too
mircea_popescu: meanwhile everywhere kfc is going crazy advertising a ... 5 meat patty
thing
mircea_popescu is stuffed with
TWO!!! homemade round breads + argentine milanesa (schnitzel really). fucking delicious.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and
then, salary will be, for 50% of
the population, based on
the going sprice.
mircea_popescu: and now salary is, for 50% of
the population, based on
the mcdonalds mchappyshit
☟︎ mod6: it boggles
the mind. i always look at other peoples carts at
the grocery store.
mircea_popescu: and it's EXACTLY like, junkies COULD do something else with
their
time
mircea_popescu: mod6 not like
the fatsos couldn't buy cheap shit and cook at home.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if drugs were legal,
the only ones left standing would be idem.
mod6: democracy for everyone! we will send you
the diebold machines!
mircea_popescu: "us democracy has provedly brought
the absolute worst solutions
to all conceivable problems for
the past 50 years. why would anyone not want it in
their country!"
trinque: mod6: don't get
that close
to Gargantua
mod6: speaking of fat people. when I was at
the statefair on monday,
there was some
time-dialation from
the sheer increase
to like 29 Solar Masses.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> fedex all
the people! << haha
mircea_popescu: it works for cats, right ? so
there is even science behind it!
mod6: they have
these bus benches with
them now. partly so you can't encroach on someone else, and partly
to keep bums from sleeping on
them.
mod6: i
think
that's next, bars between seats.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so instead of steel bars limiting access
to subway
to only people
that can fit
through
mircea_popescu: which is
to say, yes she's fat because she won't stop eating junk
mircea_popescu: mod6 amusingly enough,
the itnernal logic of all
this is
that sitting lkike a man IS A BEHAVIOUR, see. up
to you. whereas being fat like a woman is NOT
to
the same degree a behaviour.
☟︎ mod6: if some vagina on
the
train
told me
to "watch my man spreding, i'd be like. ``fuck off, dickhead''" it's
the only reasonable response you hvae left any more.
mircea_popescu: mod6 fuck you maybe not
the proper form, but "i want
those season
tickets back and after you've dropped
them off do not say hi
to me anymore."
shinohai: That's what *I* would like
to know.
shinohai: Simple, GAvin says merchants will mine
to help pay
tx fees.
mircea_popescu: how is coinbase going
to pay for big blocks. more
tax money ? more fees ? what ?
mod6: the fact
that
the one guy didn't outright say
to
the other "fuck you." is
totally limpdick pansy-ass bullshit.
mircea_popescu: somehow nobody ever
thought
to ask
the self-proclaimed "bitcoin businesses"
that nevertheless have 0 bitcoin income signing whatever ridicuolous proclamation HOW DO
TYHEY INTEND
TO PAY FOR IT.
mircea_popescu: "here's your flier advertising cheaper mass
transit in lieu of
taxes
this year. fuck off."
mircea_popescu: and if in facvt it is cheaper,
that's only proof
the government is
taking in
too much
tax.
mircea_popescu: well how about fuck
that. no "bigger blocks", no mass
transit, no government anything.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and
that's exactly how govt ploys work, ever since forever. in all cases.
mircea_popescu: to be noted, of course,
that
this "if you're poor enough
to need
to use our mnass
transit, here is how you must sit" nonsense follows
twenty-thirty years of "oh using cars is bad for
the environment, when mass
transit is just as good"
mod6: mircea_popescu can scarcely believe all
the ustards have
to
talk about is whether men sit like
this or like
that << ikr! i heard some lawyer say
to another lawyer on
the
train, "mind your man spread bro".
☟︎ mod6: i only like camping in
the desert or in
the west in general. "back east" sucks,
too humid.
mod6: shinohai
takes mod6 camping, gets neg
trust rating. << haha, wat?
mats: mebbe i could move back
to san jose and hope it survives as meta-cn
mats: i rather like living in
the US northeast and would like
to put off my migration into cn for as long as possible
mircea_popescu: (my own interpretation of reality being
that china has decided
there is no need of a us in
the future, which would be implemented
through a slow divestment so as
to extract
the maximal value possible out of
their holdings. now
that
they've actually moved on it,
they're not going
to change course. which means 2010s are
the last decade for
the us.)
mircea_popescu has redominated all his real estate leases
throughout
the world into usd during
the past ~year, so
this should be fun indeed.
mircea_popescu: CHINA DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW CHINA SHOULD WORK SO
THE WORLD CAN WORK LIKE WE WANT IT
TO BECAUSE WE'RE IMPORTANT!111
shinohai takes mod6 camping, gets neg
trust rating.
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 20:52:46; mats: waco victims were hardly defenseless. i follow what you're saying, particularly re: historical context, but i'm not convinced
this is practicable in usa
mircea_popescu can scarcely believe all
the ustards have
to
talk about is whether men sit like
this or like
that
mircea_popescu: i am unconvinced by any explanation of decline
that reads different from "success brought abundance which made people complacent.
the end."
mircea_popescu: and i don't care how "raceis", "rapey" or whatever else
the understanding of women as people is.
mircea_popescu: therre is no such
thing as "creativity" in
tech, and
there's certainly no place for "women in
tech" understood as monkeys.
mircea_popescu: reality may surprise and remain valid.
thoughts may not. surprising
thoughts are ipso facto invalid. which is why
the destruction of engineering as an intellectual activity is covered in "creativity"
mircea_popescu: if you also know,
the same way, why do you want it ? if you do not, why do you aim
to be involved in
this ?
mircea_popescu: who made
the standard ? how did
they know what
to put into it ?
mircea_popescu: let me put
this question in its proper framing, harking back
to
the scholastic disputes of a millenium ago.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck does anyone need "best business practices" ? and what do
they need
them FOR ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see, if i were
to say "the appearance of best business practices is proof positive business as a going concern is dead" you'd see what i mean
mircea_popescu: you could run
the entire "vc software industry" off of half a brain
