this shikrashka
thing alf keeps mentioning ?
mircea_popescu: romania's not been much of
this for at least 10 years by noiw.
mircea_popescu: anyway, doing violence
to
the poorly secured chumpnet is a rite of passage for most of
the not-dumb youth of
the
third world, you must appreciate. in luxor, a
tiny
town on
the valley of
the nile,
the intellectual elite of boyhood gathered around
two beat up dexktops and an acoustic modem
trying
the same
thing.

to write about it wrote
that, and well, ever since it's been some sort of english language accepted
truth.

town?
mircea_popescu would not actually want
to be saddled with one of
those idiots.
mircea_popescu: how did
the
theory go, "bureaucrats are genetically inferior and morally stunted, and so
the best
thing for
their sake is having
them live out
their lives as slaves for actual humans"
mircea_popescu: "lone wolf
terrorists" have a pretty decent claim
to getting an ex-usg civil servant as chattel slave once
the
thing's done.
☟︎ decimation: "lone wolf
terrorists" are just another lame excuse for "keep funding us or else"
mircea_popescu: the us dept of derp is short on money and understaffed, so it figures hey, what's
this shikrashka
thing alf keeps mentioning ?

the
trainwheels of normal life
than under anything else.

that moves: 'for piiigleet!'
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: simple people miss
their funerals because some workshop boss didn't let
them off. way
the world works.

to let him go
to
THE STATIUM
mircea_popescu: so he had an immense sum
to pick up, and he was scheduled
to do so a friday evening.
mircea_popescu: so
this one guy, working in a furniture shop, had played
this romanian ponzi scheme. early. and kept putting it all in.
trinque: asciilifeform: at least among my meatwot
the building being empty played much better
mircea_popescu: did i ever
tell you
the story about
the blue collar guy who had caritas
tickets ?
mircea_popescu: revolutionaries are generally like
that in
their writing.
mircea_popescu: what,
this is an item accidentally shaped like a
tree
that coincidentally drops plantains
to
the ground, but not for
this reason a plantain
tree ?
mod6: so i create gentoo via stage3 whole process in an instance,
then have
to create snapshot & make image from snapshot. deploy new instance from image.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the proposition
that joe stack is not revolutionary seems alike
the proposition
that you're innocent of math.
mod6: finally. new AMI created.
that only
took ... you don't wanna know.
trinque: sure, I just see 'em all as
things which increase
the load average of
the state
trinque: just
that
them doing so might open doors for others
trinque: I wouldn't expect
that any rival political
thing would form among
the orcs going apeshit
trinque: and sometime after
that occurs
they'll realize
this is
the case
trinque: there are eventually not going
to be enough cops
to deal with
the number of people
tired of
their shitty lives.
mircea_popescu: what now asciilifeform ? lizards lying about how fucked
they are ?
mircea_popescu: “There are more of
these guys
to follow
than we can possibly follow,” Sen. Lindsey Graham
told us. “It’s just a matter of
time before one of
them penetrates
the net.”
mircea_popescu: that's ok. it'll be a lot worse next year. and
the next and
the next, and who knows, maybe it makes it
till 2020 even.
mircea_popescu: His comments
track with
those of his House counterpart Devin Nunes, who said earlier
this week
that
the country is at a higher risk of
terrorism
than ever before.
mircea_popescu: The recent arrests are “an indication
that
the increased number of
threads of
threats … is at
the highest level
that most of us have seen since 9/11,” Chairman Richard Burr of

told us in an interview.

the wolf's own mouth.
mircea_popescu: "The FBI has been rounding up more potential “lone wolf”
terrorists, congressional leaders and
the Justice Department say, in response
to
the perception of a mounting
threat of domestic attacks inspired by
the Islamic State."
trinque: so
this is NSA wiretapping plus FBI parallel construction plus arresting based on
thoughtcrime alone
shinohai: @ cazalla so
they can attempt
to
turn
them into
their own assets
kakobrekla: Russian bride < who gets paid in

shinohai: @ mircea_popescu if I find a Russian bride in
the form of
that pic you just posted, I would be a very happy person indeed.
mircea_popescu: "In addition
to
the embarrassment of having
their bro-y, bitchin’ orgy leaked online—you can view uncensored portions below—Pearson (who is also
the manager’s son), Hopper and Smith can be heard making at least one racially insensitive remark
toward
the
three
Thai girls involved with
the players."

the stars on
the current banner with little watermelons, repatern
the stripes like a KFC bucket

the imperial gold with whatever schmuck's escutcheon (i suppose fried chicken and watermelon for
the current holder ?) or else
the guelph red, or white, or blue, with
the horse,
the
tower,
the you name it.
