mircea_popescu: i'm not in the business of understandingly strangling the enemy.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mircea_popescu doesn't give a shit about that.

mircea_popescu: that's how they started, i recall the shit they proudly made in the 80s

mircea_popescu: somehow the crappleheads took deliberate bugs for features throughout the lifetime of that scam.

mircea_popescu remembers the days last decade when apple was making money by including a two inch cable for chargers and selling a normal length one.

mircea_popescu: which is suppose is technically better than it catching fire, but this is only from the pov of anyone but tesla.

mircea_popescu: their "home battery" thing isn't catching on.

mircea_popescu: and were stuck and didn't know hjow to fix it.

mircea_popescu: i would guess their costs balooned unexpectedly after they had the marketing discussion and fixed a price point

mircea_popescu: if a car costs more to make than it retails for, it costs more to make than it should by about 50%. you think volksvagen spends 20k to make a car they sell for 30 ? they don't.

mircea_popescu: so what's the idea, "i'm making a loss on every sale but hope to make it up on volume" ?

mircea_popescu: because yeah, doubling down against mp ever fucking worked. so maryland uni really wants to "win" at internets, right ? digs itself deeper, alf thinks hey, they're home free. i say it won't last, he says nothing ever lasts, we're at a standoff.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-08-2015#1232173 << sad, but true. imbeciles. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: because what do the kiddies watching know.

mircea_popescu: in fact im pretty sure he's just doing a stewart repackaging, but with more "support the government!" spam in it.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/parody-is-not-there-for-you-cancerous-fags-to-try-and-hide-your-cancer-behind-it/ < this one.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-08-2015#1232108 << i never watched any of the first or much of the second, but it is painfully obvious even from five minutes no matter how chosen that the principal function of the stewart twerp is exactly the same thing as with that other one what's his face. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: how's that for a "basics of relationships" guide.

mircea_popescu: of a girlfriend of hers rather than a man she'll tell you.

mircea_popescu: whereas if you do not, she ~might~, maybe, manage to maintain superior brain function control over the rest of herself, and be some sort of a first approximation of the above. maybe. or maybe she won't, and go seek to be assuaged in the arms of other men, more inclined to provide the need - for it is a need. the surogates may work or not, but generally dont, and you'll know about it because if she thinks you're enough

mircea_popescu: and in all this rests a lesson for practical everyday use, too. if you are actually man enough to let your girl know you'll beat the shit out of her if need be, which you generally won't even need to do after an initial stage of infantile testing of the theory as proposed, she'll be the most loving, loyal and internally happy woman that she could ever be.

mircea_popescu: i'm sure "the commerce clause" allows one to invade and try rotherdam just as well as it allows one to put the silkroad derp in prison and try miloshevich. why the fuck not, after all.

mircea_popescu: seems odd. if you want it, that legitimacy and that position, boys and girls, this is what you do. and that you don't do it is why people, such as myself, mostly point and laugh at your untenable pretenses of "regulating" bitcoin or online whatever.

mircea_popescu: how come the us schmucks ranting on about their endless and universal jurisdiction over everything to the degree that they seek the extradition of random people derping on the internet have yet failed to seek the extradition of the i dunno, 10k or whatever pakis from england that did the child porn one better ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: and the sheriff never made it yet to the territory.

mircea_popescu: the fucking township in question has to pay independent experts to come and inquire, because it's fucking 1600 iowa over there in rotherdam.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the fucking ~times~ has to do its own investigation because the reps of the crown are completely lost in their pipe dreams to the point they're covering themselves in the mud of publicly ridicule eagery and with both hands.

mircea_popescu: ttocks and generally bloodied existence. that's how her choice plays out, and in her age and in her anonimity i believe she stands representative.

mircea_popescu: the entire fancy with western society and emancipation and freedom and have you rests on the reserve, no matter how muted, that "it's either this or we rape you". it needs to sit there like the nuclear option needs to sit on the table, for once it goes away, twelve fucking year olds choose, of their own fucking free will, to join the pakis for an all night / all weekend / all the years to come anal stretching, caned bu

mircea_popescu: that's the discussion. there is not now, nor was ever, nor will ever be invented a manner, stratagem or device to circumvent activity, or to make the passive on par with the active.

mircea_popescu: offered the simple choice of A. stick with the alleged representatives of the schmucks that trade pictures of your rape and jack off in "online anonymity" and joining the raping party, she chooses to join the raping party.

mircea_popescu: the alternative, where he texts a chick "hey, we got our sister, we're torturing her, come join" just as the chick in question was giving testimony to the supposed government of the uk - a more illegitimate contrivance never having been known to man, incidentally, they have all the legitimacy to govern kim jong il's favourite dog does.

mircea_popescu: this is the whole thing. what'd you tell a guy who wants to rape twelve year olds ? that it's bad ? he did not ask you that. and you can tell him to you know, wait around on social media untill the cute teenie across the street douses herself in gasoline and invites him over.

mircea_popescu: we don't really know what the paki people who want this do, chiefly because we don't want to. but if we do : in pakistan, they go right the fuck ahead and rape the lot. and in rotherdam, england, they do the exact same.

mircea_popescu: the white people who want this generally sit around the internet "being cypherpunks" and exchanging... depictions of the act. and often enough being "caught" and "prosecuted", on the very untenable rationale that their engagement in the victimless "crime" of exchanging bits somehow promotes and empowers the actual people doing the actual crime of you know, raping preteens.

mircea_popescu: some people, for reasons nobody really grasps in spite of trying for millenia (yes, it's a thing since forever) and in spite of having maybe some decent theories, want to fuck twelve year olds.

mircea_popescu: total cuckold, the govt.

mircea_popescu: to have what to pay for.

mircea_popescu: so funny that they collect all this data
