to realize one has
the option
to starve and be homeless, which one should
take over some jobs

them have been fooled by
this whole "work is for

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 03:57:50; asciilifeform: no one ever
talks about
the 'up side' of being a bureaucrat, but i
think it is necessary. otherwise you are stuck believing
that
these people are clinically insane (they are not.)
mircea_popescu: these are not even "bright and brightest" of
the 20th percentile.
mircea_popescu: a salary is for
the office cocksucker and for
that
twerp who actually sat
through ALL FOUR YEARS of computer school.
mircea_popescu: they'll fly off once
the attention whores off social media get
technically competent enough, which, barring any unemployed 40yo
taxi drivers in fuckheadistan, pretty much means never.
mircea_popescu: the only reason
the nukes haven't wandered off is
that a)
they're not actually flight worthy and b)
they're not actually strategically useful.
mircea_popescu: all connected machines - respond. as
they shouldn't, myriad ways.
mircea_popescu: the only
thing silence means on
this network is
that
there's actually no machine
there.

the same way as my house, or mircea_popescu's
mircea_popescu: i guess

this guy's kid's nose or something
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 03:46:32; asciilifeform: plus
the mega-benefits of guaranteed employment for life, fat pensions, health 'insurances', etc.
mircea_popescu: not a very good list
this. a collection of derps (middle school
teacher, seriously ?!) and reasonably known people who had little
to nothing
to do.
mircea_popescu: 29-MAY-2002: Michel Houellebecq charged with inciting racial hatred for stating, in an interview,

mircea_popescu: except he gets nabbed for child pr0nz and perhaps underage rape. so organization goes back
to schmuck #1, who now quits, because he had just married a stripper and "needs
to spend
time with his family", presumably servicing
the black cock she's bringing home.
mircea_popescu: by
the way,
the history of
the "national alliance" is one of
the
top keks in kook history. so, nazi-like
thing created in
the 70s by a physics prof. he died cca 2000. appointed successor some random schmuck, who managed
to lose pretty much everyone's support over
the ensuing decade. some other schmuck eventualy staged a coop. schmuck #1 declares fuhrerprinzip refuses
to yield. most of
the membership follows schmuck #2,
mircea_popescu: "As of 11-JAN-2015,
this post has now been read by over 30,000 people." << wrong metric, i guess.
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 13:07:45; mircea_popescu: i will also observe
that s.mg launches much awaited bitcoin's mmorpg, usg.agitprop is silent ; "blockstream" launches "much awaited" (by whom ?) nothing at all,
the wsj seems compelled
to write it up within
the hour.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 03:06:53; asciilifeform: eff lobbyist who
tells us
that 'wassenar is a done deal, all
that can be done is
to litigate some of
the edges off'
