mircea_popescu: and no,
the us didn't make shipping cheap, china did (srsly - look at what
they did
to
that market if you wanna get scared).
mircea_popescu: the pakis are
there because between fifty of
them
they have more balls
than
the collected population of britons.
mircea_popescu: so no, people aren't
these magical snowflakes made out of independent
thought and closely held principle.
that view is chiefly an economical surplus phenomena, people
tend
to form
that view if
they live for
too long unchallenged. otherwise, people are lazy and small. some smaller
than lazy, some lazier
than small. but by and large not worth
the mention.
williamdunne: That sounds more like it went well for
the one pouring
the gas,
than her
mircea_popescu: those dudes are going
to be out before next year's out,
they probably just wanted a break.
mircea_popescu: how about
the references where hundreds of people were involved in raping
thousands of preteens for a decade + and all
the ridiculous queen's got are five convictions for less
than five years a head ?
mircea_popescu: how about
the references where
they withdrew complaints / ran off from
the da
the day of
testimony / etc ?
williamdunne: Well
the only references I'm seeing
to it are describing it as a
traumatic experience. While
traumatic can be a force for good I can't see anything suggesting it did her any particular favours
williamdunne: From what I can see
they may contend
that point
mircea_popescu: but
the one
time you'll know
this, apparently hasn't come yet.
mircea_popescu: now, sure, maybe you personally are different from a few
thousand pubescent girlies.
mircea_popescu: so
they DO change
their mind, and go
take
their place in
the line of plainly wrapped, bipedal fuckmeat.
mircea_popescu: next
thing you know, one's doused in gasoline begging for no lights and
the other's staring at
text messages in her cellphone about her sister and so forth.
mircea_popescu: and actualised
this delusion by bitching at who knows what.
mircea_popescu: so in
that
town,
there once were a bunch of girlies, which for whatever reason grew up with
the impression
that
they're not plainly wrapped fuckmeat for some dudes.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne i don't expect
this is something
that can be verbally communicated, and jesus fuck have i wasted some
time if
that's actually not so. but perhaps it'll be easier
to understand when you
take yourself out of
there.
mircea_popescu: ;;google "i've never been punched! black and white are
the same color! a yellow apple on a yellow cab!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "i've never been punched! black and white are
the same color! a yellow apple on a yellow cab!"
williamdunne: For example, when one person
tried
to get a few
to jump me,
they were forced
to keep a fairly large distance between
themselves and I
punkman: asciilifeform:
there are folks who were never beaten? not even a bit ? << lots of em
mircea_popescu: obviouisly an amicable bout between friends & equals is a great community building
tool.
williamdunne: Purely in my head, I'm not certain I'd fear any individual in a group of 8
that beat me
mircea_popescu: well so
then on what grounds do you disagree of anything
there lol.
williamdunne: Sure, but I was always on
the smaller/equal side
williamdunne: I'd disagree
that a gang-beating is particularly dominating
mircea_popescu: williamdunne what's your
theory of homosexual rape in prison ? what drives it ?
williamdunne: Never understood
the usage of gang-beatings
to show strength. I can understand it
to create fear.. but strength
mircea_popescu: nothing better illustrates
the fundamentally maggoty quality of
the human race
than being in
the position of, approximately speaking, a highschool disciplinarian.
mircea_popescu: not
that people weren't
tempted, especially after a fucking while.
mircea_popescu: (which was generally resolved by beating
the shit out of
them in group - apparently
teenaged boys benefit from
the shared experience).
mircea_popescu: then you had
the practical choice of either killing a bunch of 16 yos or complete disorder
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, looky here. when i was younger, we had
this constant problem where kids watched who knows what on
the (recently available)
tv and decided
they're gonna be MOBSTERERS!!11 LIEK IRL!!
punkman: "if nobody else is doing it,
there's no money in
this scam"
mircea_popescu: most scamzors live
their entire life replicating what actually successful people do.
williamdunne: If
they outlaw breathing, you should not break
the social contract by fighting for life
williamdunne: I'd happily give
them some silly putty, but I'd rather not be forced
to waste my own
time and resources for something
that should be easy like opening a bank account. Bitcoin has spoiled me.
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2015 02:12:41; asciilifeform: how long has it been since sc4mz0rz quit doing
the most elementary homework
to see if other, larger and better-connected sc4mz0rz are pulling
the same scam already ?
mircea_popescu: "noble and honorable" since when is
this part of
the discourse.
mircea_popescu: "The business model associated with
the Sabr.io service is noble and honorable, as
the company wants
to eliminate any criminal activity associated with virtual currencies."
mircea_popescu: williamdunne people wanna matter. whenever a vote comes
to whether
they wanna matter more or less,
they vote
they wanna matter more. meanwhile
they keep mattering less. what's one
to do.
williamdunne: yeah, mine came over
to my house as well
to deal with all
the paperwork because she gave me some other pricks passport.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne> 50 shades of derp <<
they have
the same nonsense here. /me had cute notary clerk over for biscuits, problem solved.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I, mr government official, confirm
that mrs notary, did in fact agree
that
the documents were correct
that he brought on
the day. She said so and she signed it.
punkman: also,
there are worse
things
than having
to apostille a document
mircea_popescu: <williamdunne> punkman: you can send and receive encrypted and signed emails
to and from your relationship manager. << who keeps all of
them plaintext in his internet-connected excel.
mircea_popescu: <williamdunne>
The whole apostille
thing is fuckheaded as well << yeah srsly.
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> I see change.org as simply an outlet for
the masses
to feel as if
they are inspiring social change. << well mostly it's an obama
thing. guy made his own reddit, somewhat more dysfunctional.
mircea_popescu: "85% voted
to implement a
trivial change
that was both needed and uncontroversial.
they didn't implement it and bitcoin forked. lesson learned! 44% "vote"
to implement a change
that mp said he will attack. WHATCOULDGOWRONG!111"
mircea_popescu: <assbot> ~44% of Bitcoin mining hash power is currently voting
to support 8 MB blocks. << jesus fuck look at
these idiots, didn't skip a beat
mircea_popescu: not entirely inconceivable. and if you
take
the other half and pretend materials are free and you get billed for construction work at 50 an hour,
that's about six weeks worth of a 12 man
team's work.
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2015 08:59:59; cazalla: looking at
tassie property.. come across all but abandoned laboratory in
the middle of nowhere in
the middle of
tasmania, maybe perfect for asciilifeform
types?
shinohai: hilarious. Whining about censorship when
theymos censored nothing.
assbot: evoorhees comments on [bitcoin-dev] Significant losses by double-spending unconfirmed
transactions ... (

kakobrekla: Guess who else
they invested in? Shapeshift.
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2015 02:10:46; assbot: SABR.io wants
to unmask Bitcoin
transactions and has raised $1 million in funding. : Bitcoin ... (

shinohai: Gotta give williamdunne props for navigating it all
tho. You make jeffery smith look like an amateur
shinohai: When in Rome, you gotta do as
the Romans do I guess.
williamdunne: Use a bank statement with
the other bank,
to open account with
the bank who wants
to work with us
williamdunne: Open account with another bank,
that will literally send someone
to
the building
to check it is where we say we are
williamdunne: UNless I can sort out proof of address somehow,
the process is:
williamdunne: "You need proof of address, like a utility bill or bank statement
to open an account in
the company name"
williamdunne: And
then
there is
the lulz with South Africa
too. "We need proof of address for
the company"
williamdunne: Of course,
this process had
to be completed on each copy..
williamdunne: And
then
the final page had
to have seven (yes seven) stamps
