pete_dushenski: "Management “wanted a creative building MMO [massively multiplayer online-game] with a promise of zero penises seen,”
tweeted Megan Fox, a developer who worked on
the project,"
☟︎ jurov: you were able
to build penis in eulora? how?
pete_dushenski: "In 2010, LEGO unleashed LEGO Universe, a massive, multiplayer game where builders of all ages could create whatever
they wanted on
their own digital plots. Well, almost anything: LEGO didn’t want any of
the players
to endow its online world with penises. After all, it was meant
to be a kid-friendly place in which phalluses had no role—even its mini-fig citizens were dickless."
punkman: I guess you just rename your .tar
to .ico
punkman: "Weird 64MB favicon.ico
turning out
to be a
TAR backup of
the whole WP site, downloaded by every browser passing by... "
☟︎☟︎ jurov: access
to golden
toilet vs. anal probing clearance
jurov: ppl will do anything for 'good' job. i'm fully expecting
to see alf grappling with
this someday
☟︎ pete_dushenski: only solution is
to put landwhale deskjockeys into
the field !
pete_dushenski: "I’m also worried
they are going
to identify agents in law enforcement." << exactly
the plot of 'spy',
this.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: seriously, what are
the chances of
this NOT happening.
pete_dushenski: turns out
that when you spill
the beans
to a piece of paper in a drawer, someone can go in and read
that piece of paper !
☟︎ pete_dushenski: ""It's kind of scary
that somebody could know
that much about us," said a former senior U.S. diplomat, pointing out
the ability
to use such data
to impersonate an American official online, obtain passwords and plunder bank accounts."
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "
The man had kept
the affair secret from his wife for
two decades before disclosing it on
the government's innocuously named Standard Form 86 (SF 86), filled out by millions of Americans seeking security clearances. "
pete_dushenski: what on earth would possess one
to disclose such a
thing on a fucking application form, in
triplicate...
pete_dushenski: " When a retired 51-year-old military man disclosed in a U.S. security clearance application
that he had a 20-year affair with his former college roommate's wife, it was supposed
to remain a secret between him and
the government."
☟︎ pete_dushenski: ;;later

cazalla: it pretty much
tastes like olives
punkman: don't
think I've
tried
that one
cazalla: i don't mind a bit of holy flax

assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 06:54:38; punkman: punkman's salad suggestion: purslane, rocket, cherry
tomatos and grilled haloumi
cazalla: i'm feeling so good i even banged
the missus
twice and here i
thought it was cause i long ago grew
tired of her, must've been
the booze after all
BingoBoingo: Last weekend banged up my knee and wrist pretty bad in a unknown incident while drunk, which lead
to a slowdown last week but not a cessation of activities
cazalla: i had another sober weekend so half way
there
to a sober month of June
☟︎ cazalla: still
training BingoBoingo?
Vexual: failing
that ill buy a snapper
punkman: "The .tar file must be encrypted with
the static key /tmp/.charlie. Yes,
that's
the actual key -
the software passes
the wrong argument
to OpenSSL. -K is used
to pass
the keyfile instead of -kfile, meaning
that
the key is
the path of
the keyfile rather
than
the contents"
Vexual: ok im salivating,
thanks for
the recipies, im off
to raid a southerners letterbox
punkman: gotta give
them a scrub, and check for casualties
Vexual: or does
the slime go into
the sauce?
Vexual: id rather a box of ducks
to be hosnest, but id eat it
punkman: no
the box gets pretty gross
Vexual: do
they prefer dampper, or just flour?
Vexual: what do
they eat? old lettuce?
Vexual: i dont
think
theyd grow here, never see wild ones
punkman: fry
them with garlic and rosemary
punkman: not
too often, I got a box of
them fattening up
though
Vexual: snapper is in season
too
Vexual: ill ask
the asians for a
tropicaal quqivalent
Vexual: what would you serve
that with?
punkman: punkman's salad suggestion: purslane, rocket, cherry
tomatos and grilled haloumi
☟︎ punkman: don't fry it
though, better
toasted/grilled
funkenstein_: yhwh wasn't interested in
this new
testament stuff
trinque: funkenstein_:
things are what
they are,
though we may be forced
to call
them otherwise
funkenstein_: in practical use,
the state is whatever
the guy with
the gun
tells you it is
trinque: might be nice
to give
that one it's own word
trinque: so
then going back
to
the "state", if
the "state" is
this,
then a "state" is *not*
the aggregate of agreements made by free men
trinque: decimation: I've heard it called "stealing your stolen from" around here, and it's exactly on
the mark
trinque: the destruction of
the language in order
to convince slaves
they are not slaves costs far
too much
trinque: wouldn't it be nice for a man
to call a command a command, so you know what freedom you actually have
decimation: trinque: note
that many people would replace orthodox Christianity with some kind of warmed-over socialism,
that doesn't make
their socialism Christianity (as loudly as
they might protest otherwise)
☟︎ trinque: though
the "I" in
the sentence may not be
the speaker
trinque: I might revise
that further
to "I shall force you
to behave as
though
there were such a
thing as a social contract."
trinque: when someone says "there is a social contract"
that's just a backdoor way of saying "you shall accept
the implications of
there being a social contract"
decimation: indeed. yet, you were born, fed,
taught, and you will die.
trinque: that doesn't mean
that I acknowledge it
decimation: if your point is
that your salvation is involuntary, I don't
think
that is correct, but Christians do disagree on
this point
trinque: so I'm his bondslave for life according
to
this or
that interpretation of folk legends
decimation: trinque: but in
that case Paul is referring
to
those who believe in Jesus
Vexual: oysters cost 0 if you find
them
funkenstein_: I'm not sure what
the social contract is. As you point out, I didn't sign it
funkenstein_: to quote noone you are likely
to consider sane, you signed up when you chose
to be born
☟︎ trinque: if you presuppose my involvement in some agreement between other people, you've presupposed me right out of
the conversation in both cases!
decimation: I would probably setting for a 'modern state'
that did its best
to cultivate
the quality of its human potential, rather
than
treating it like an infinite resource
decimation: sure, but
that's a distinction between 'a state' and 'the modern structure' (as moldbug would put it)
trinque: the WoT allows for *varying* standards of interaction based on
the relationships involved
trinque: decimation: one important distinction may be
that whereas
the modern state seeks
to make humans fungible,
to normalize
them according
to some standard
funkenstein_: true indeed. people
talk about "the government" as if
that meant something specific.. so many out
there
trinque: anyhow. it's
true
that anywhere humans gather and interact structures will emerge
trinque: thought of
that all by himself, did he?
funkenstein_: his proposal was
that
the bullet was more powerful
than
the ballot
funkenstein_: malcolm x says
the state becomes necessary when one needs
to separate
those who have from
those who have not
☟︎ decimation: but it seems
to me
that nearly all qualifying solutions meet some definition of 'state'
trinque: perhaps something eventually emerges which is
the aggregate of contracts within
the WoT
decimation: note
that
this doesn't imply 'modern state' is
the only possibly solution
decimation: trinque: no doubt, I can imagine lots of other structures, but I just don't see how groups of people who need
to do business
together can get away from some kind of central coordinating mechanism for certain
tasks
trinque: I'd be happy
to see it go if
the rest were also in
the bathwater
trinque: decimation: or in other words... if only
the fire dept was
the most of our worries
trinque: this monstrous, bureaucratic "modern state" which infiltrates every aspect of life is
to whom I refer
