decimation: TheNewDeal: I have no problem with catholics, but what's not obvious from what I pasted is that moldbug is making a point about being submerged in a particular point of view from birth
williamdunne: Trying to work out why a translation is so poor
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: In Romanian is new and first the same word?
TheNewDeal: decimation I had a friend convice me quite shortly after being confirmed as a Catholic. Just need to be open-minded. Tough for a large majority of sheeple

ben_vulpes to numb the family-in-law with more booze
TheNewDeal: and for the record punkman, the 10 crack commandments shouldn't be grouped with the liberal buzzfeed nonsense, because that's legitmate knowledge passed down by a semi-respectable ruffian
TheNewDeal: who's those yarvin character?
decimation: "How do you convince this guy or gal that the answer to all the world's problems is not "more Catholicism"? How do you say, um, dude, this Trinity thing - the virgin birth - transsubstantiation... ya know...
TheNewDeal: just pay someone here to do it
decimation: early yarvin had a point about this: "You are a Catholic. Your parents were Catholics. You were educated by Catholics. You are governed by Catholics. All your friends are Catholics. All the books you've ever read were written by Catholics.
ag3nt_zer0: so think I am done as I don't know what the hell I am doing ☟︎

punkman: do they still make english butlers?
mircea_popescu: anyways. off to look for slithy toves.
TheNewDeal: it's a land of servants, and the alleged elites are house-negros
mircea_popescu: elite comes a century thereafter.
mircea_popescu: or more importantly, that there IS such a thing as servants, and such a thing as a line for them to keep to.
mircea_popescu: here we sit discussing "elites" in a space that doesn't even know how to keep the servants in line
mircea_popescu: and yes, anyone else contemplating the same position'd better get in their skulls that no, they don't get to fuck around on the job.
mircea_popescu: someone "paid to be nice^H^H^H^H be my servant who fucks up his DUTIES is going to be called to task. before a sound beating.
mircea_popescu: " Snapping, clapping, yelling, whistling or just general rudeness to someone waiting on you are a sure sign to anyone in your company that if they spend enough time around you, you’ll eventually treat them with the same selfish nonchalance and disdain that you treat those who are paid to be nice to you."
TheNewDeal: update the PC
TheNewDeal: 60 lines, what kind of piss-ass function is this? takes that many to clear the registers and program counter

mircea_popescu: da fuck is this respect
assbot: The Ten Native American Commandments ... ( http://bit.ly/1J6jLhh )
TheNewDeal: It can be something cheesy along the lines of the native american 10 commandments http://www.nativevillage.org/Inspiration-/ten_native_american_commandments.htm
mircea_popescu: i don't believe in the prescriptive approach.
TheNewDeal: a person's wife is obviously their property. This material vs sexual is getting to intermingled
mircea_popescu: may be a false friend, it comes from a time when wives were just another kind of chattel.
TheNewDeal: that's the ticket
gribble: wn: covet v 1: wish, long, or crave for (something, especially the property of another person); "She covets her sister's house"
mircea_popescu: "make sure they're always pregnant" ?
TheNewDeal: whats that one commandment about neighbor's wives?
danielpbarron: i thought it was that you're jealous of your own things and envious of other people's things
mircea_popescu: but apparently that's not widely known in english.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jealous | For instance, envious/jealous behavior such as a friend has a nice new car and instead of being truly happy for them you badmouth them or the car or make up ...
mircea_popescu: i ask because this is a fine example of english being a pigdin, where dictionaries don't define and nothing means anything specific
TheNewDeal: I was thinking jealous should be the superlative
gribble: wn: jealousy n 1: a feeling of jealous envy (especially of a rival) [syn: {jealousy}, {green-eyed monster}] 2: zealous vigilance; "cherish their official political freedom with fierce jealousy"-Paul Blanshard
gribble: wn: envy n 1: a feeling of grudging admiration and desire to have something that is possessed by another [syn: {envy}, {enviousness}] 2: spite and resentment at seeing the success of another (personified as one of the deadly sins) [syn: {envy}, {invidia}] v 1: feel envious towards; admire enviously 2: be envious of; set one's heart on [syn: {envy}, {begrudge}]
TheNewDeal: you know. Seeing pencilneck prick drive a jaguar down the road. Slober at him, then go home and watch tv to forget
TheNewDeal: an envious lot, I think jealousy goes to far... implies too much work
decimation: in this sense, the us is like a jealous mob - always keeping one eye out for the unforgivable crime of trying to clamour above the others
mircea_popescu: but it can never BE a fox, while living. nor can these pencilnecks be elite.
decimation: I doubt there was a blank on the permit form that allowed one to declare one's superiority
mircea_popescu: elite works the same way.
mircea_popescu: you gotta ask the girl out to be a man. that's the bar. you don't ask, you're not a man. you hint at her you might like to, you're a lesbian trapped in a transsexual's body, not a man.
decimation: he kinda implied he was better than 'little people', does that make him elite?
mircea_popescu: and to think 99% odds are all these shenanigans is because the sexually deprived twerp was trying to get laid with some marginally fuckable middle aged woman.
decimation: the powerpoint even demanded that the thing be called 'blue pit'
decimation: yeah it was burning man when usg agent demanded royal tent serviced by servants
mircea_popescu: that the residents may not use
mircea_popescu: decimation adding that nonsense to the porcfest nonsense (or was it burning man ?) i'll lol once every house in the us has to have a special bathroom for any visiting cops
decimation: " If you do stop and talk to Jim, you'll discover that the hardest work in the whole project was fending off all kinds of attacks on him and his work coming from the federal government and the National Forest Service: he's on private property but he's surrounded by National Forest and the feds want complete control of everything. In Jim's words: the only thing they haven't done is they haven't shot him, yet."
TheNewDeal: mp, I've got a talented phocomelus that can man your wizard tower. 5 star techie
decimation: some places in rural bumfuck you can do it though: http://www.sangres.com/colorado/national-forests/sanisabel/bishopcastle.htm
mircea_popescu: i guess neartly all locales in the us are fortunate i don't give a shiot about building anything there.
decimation: especially if the plans are unapproved
decimation: ^ that's highly illegal in nearly all locales in the us
mircea_popescu: ima build a fucking wizard tower on my own land if i feel so inclined, and if anyone doesn't like it ima add cannons to it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the notion of "approved" for construction is foreign to my mental universe.
decimation: http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/con-certificate-of-need-state-laws.aspx "In 1964, New York became the first state to enact a statute granting the state government power to determine whether there was a need for any new hospital or nursing home before it was approved for construction."
decimation: it's more complicated than you might think. in many us states it is against the law to build a hospital unless you 'prove' that there's a 'need' for one
mircea_popescu: if anyone wonders what "lich" in that pic is, http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/albany/2015/06/8570923/lich-act-passes-assembly

phf: decimation: "we like to listen to tchaikovsky. incidently alexander berzshinkiy is playing our favorite tchaikovsky works at kennedy center next month."
decimation: phf: yes, the same ones who staff usg bureaucracies and corporations
phf: i thought in u.s. liberal elite is a keyboard for professorial types with feminist wives, who go to opera and listen to npr

mircea_popescu: i imagine the sentiment is mutual.
decimation: mats: the Kochs are universally reviled by the east coast set
mircea_popescu: gernika possibly the psoriasis banker guy
