mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what, all languages can bear shakespeare ? jamaican y compris ?
mircea_popescu: amusingly, lcd languages forced by the needs of commerce end up ~same.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they just like it for the usual exam-taking reasons, it's possibly the least different from english thing out there.
mircea_popescu: that's the other thing : if they're so fucking enamoured with it, why the fuck are they torturing it with latin notation ?!
mircea_popescu: whole lotta "france got me! i'm a phrancophone! i only eat at French's diner in wisconsin."
mircea_popescu: why the fuck are all the wiggers so enamoured with swahili anyway ? there's actual languages in africa.
mircea_popescu: so now he's a scumbag who's trying to eat out of getting people to be colors ?
mircea_popescu: all that carefully crafted tower of narcisism and self-absorbtion (they prefer to call it "intellectual property")! how cruel and unfair that the world doesn't give a damn!
mircea_popescu: it won't load ; and archive fails with "assertion failed"
mircea_popescu: then again the only black rapper i could name is the real slim shady.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz from the nursery, "stereotypes are bad" "isn't that a stereotype ?"
mircea_popescu: could just stack kitchen appliances into fuckable shape...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the most pantsuit part of this story is what they left out. WHERE is it teleported TO ? does the ship leave droppings, like mice ?
mircea_popescu: i expect it's where it's headed. already produced vast herds of dependent idiots who 100% couldn't feed self without the empire.
mircea_popescu: might even have anus removed, make some really great futurecitizens
mircea_popescu: lmao why wait for the shitting, why not selectively teleport out of colon ?
mircea_popescu: much like in the case of say showgirls, the pantsuit "public oppinion" panned the wicked lady, speaking of course with the usual pretense of ex-cathedra "everyone agrees" and
http://trilema.com/2018/memoranda-of-congress/#selection-159.15-161.0 nonsense. nevertheless it's an infinitely better movie than all the retarded crap they gush over. i'd take it every time over crap like "mandy" (aka "clash of silence", the 1952 waste
mircea_popescu: anyway. if there ever is to be any progress, boston is to be cleaved from its support structures.
mircea_popescu: worse waste of human potential can scarcely be devised, ffs.
mircea_popescu: which is how come a) "oh, we have the dumb flickering plastic from star trek!!!" is somehow supposed to be a pillar of faith supporting the pantsuit money printing press ; while b) nobody fucking notices that the ~only item of any value whatsoever in the whole franchise was marina sirtis' ass, and they still don't get to see that, much like there's no jane russell porn.
mircea_popescu: anyway. boston managed to make "the defining question" be "what does america want to see ?" and then managed to convince the midwest that what california people think is hip is bostonolade ; then took those numbers and showed california that "what america wants to see!!" is bostonolade.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then there's that heyman faggot with the harry potter crapolade... there's seriously not a fucking human being among them.
mircea_popescu: (and they're complete pushovers, too -- take neal moritz adopting the vin diesel look for chrissakes. these are people ?!)
mircea_popescu: #3 is do i need to go on ? bruckheimer, the fucktard behind pirates of the whatever. at least he's an alcoholic.
mircea_popescu: just look at the top gross, it's a fine indicator. #1 is kevin feige. iron man and urolagnia of the sort.
mircea_popescu: it starts with "i don't drink alcohol." once you hear that, you know what you're dealing with pretty much.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, they're already there. have been, for decade+. you should see the shitheads doing the "mega franchises", jesus fuck i wouldn't have the misery in my house.
mircea_popescu: imagine the absurdity, a producer losing his job for fucking women unasked!
mircea_popescu: somehow, notwithstanding how san fernando valley dominated hollywood for half of the 80s and most of the 90s, the mpaa still reflects "the movie industry" views of state st, rather than either hollywood or porn valley.
mircea_popescu: (obviously i was using a metaphore, i don't actually do the watching as such.)
mircea_popescu: the principle is not without merit. if you convert sufficient gb of firefox cache into avi and watch them, eventually you end up with something that convincingly argues to you it's a clue.
mircea_popescu: you recall our discussion re the mechanical dragonfly, and how you proposed the eye may simply have a low pass filter find the flies ?
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet any of the us aspie class who aren't firmly head-based on state st.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how familiar you are at all with cultural trends in that uneasy federal empire of entirely uncommunicating groups, but does eg greenspun sound cali to you AT ALL ?
mircea_popescu: they are made in sf-istan by the "we are the premiere" idiots.
mircea_popescu: whole ideology was altogether vehehery boston methodist.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, it's a complex matter. but my read on the whole shebang was "hey, californian dumb beach babes, this is what's good and proper, isn't it what you believe ?" "duh".
mircea_popescu: but you'd have met a lot more tru believers going 500 miles north than 5k miles west.
mircea_popescu: pantsuit is actually more like boston than cali. imo it's an interesting case of parasitosis.
mircea_popescu: but you also aren't sexually promiscuous with teenagers and young adults.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ("ever" is, obviously, an overstatement -- idiocy aint' about to go away. but in our lifetimes, that utopia's not showing up again.)
mircea_popescu: there was a time, a decade or two, when pantsuit actually thought the kingdom of their father's upon us. remember that ?
mircea_popescu: that whole 2000s pantsuit "hopes and dreams" pie in the sky / end of history scenario took the bath of all time, and it ain't ever coming back.
mircea_popescu: anyway, whole point of the idiocy was "JUST LIEK STARTREK!!!" cachet.
mircea_popescu: luserdom had no business touching computer at any sense. it's as dead today as it was in 1818.
mircea_popescu: should be a pretty decent uni application / tech employment interview question. "explain the difference between bash and perl."
mircea_popescu: you know, i think i published A NUMBER OF bashens that never crash. or is bash not perl ?
mircea_popescu: what the fuck could a browser do with gb's worth of "cache", system has a swap. what's the swap for, so that redditards reimplement the fs in js ?
mircea_popescu considers converting it to avi and just watching the five hours' worth.
mircea_popescu: aaand in other batshit, i am dissecting this system whose .mozilla directory is... 1.7GB. THREE CDS. what the fuck intricacy of prophylactic detail could possibly be stored there!
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if a preoccupation with the self becomes an escapist technique to deal with frustration borne of lack of experience.
mircea_popescu: anything BUT the useful. what "united states", call it grandstanding pointlessness and be done.
mircea_popescu: cuz that's how fucking decadence goes, you get to the "dozen girls hanging from the light fixture" WAY WAY WAAAAY before you get to topless.
mircea_popescu: i rewatched gents prefer blondes, earlier. it's "holywood takes out all stops", but amusingly in their quest for "over the top decadence" and other delicious salamis, they have uberdressed girls tied to a spurious spinning chandelier RATHER THAN taking anyone's top off.
mircea_popescu: how is it, that they'll go to all the trouble but only just as long as it's not doing anything useful ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, "every shop must have a website (with ssl everywhere!!!)" and "every customer must have a loyalty card" trends of useless nonsense somehow haven't converged to the most basic sanity of, "give us your rsa pubkey, then download your data from our website whenever you want to, just go to shop.com/yourname"
mircea_popescu: is it at least ascii alphabetical, or do they do javaturd unicode alphabetical ?
