funkenstein_: anyway, i don't
think
they will be able
to make lying about your age a violation.
funkenstein_: but some people either
think deception is part and parcel of courtship, or perhaps just get off on it.
funkenstein_: the guy would have done better using
the money for legal fees at
the local puterie
mircea_popescu: how about she is affixed
to a whipping post in front of
the
town church for
two weeks, for being a disgusting nag and a
total stereotypist ?
mircea_popescu: davout anyway, nothing in
that piece makes me
think
this is anything but a very sad drama, of an old man who is being rejected merely for being old, and is forced
to live in a society where random woman (who is no spring chicken either, "une
trentaine my foot") can send him
to prison arbitrarily.
mats: additionally,
the yuan is
the unit, and renminbi is
the currency, so it would not be correct
to use
that construction "every dollar, every renminbi, ..."
mircea_popescu: hopefully i get
to drink champagne off a chick's
tits at
the ceremony where an 80yo gets a major prize for
this advance.
mircea_popescu: certainly your model is a lot better
than anything keynes spit out, or hence.
mircea_popescu: but
the idea
that any fiat-oriented economics is essentially studying fart flow is sound, and yes it's all a matter of diffusion.
danielpbarron: funkenstein_, "why not place
the Earth at
the exact center of a set of large mechanical spheres with seem
to move at arbitrary unexplained speeds?" spheres which* seem
mircea_popescu: well if you intend
to it can go into
the list. but do you ?
mircea_popescu: "Bob: Don't worry, we factored
that into our budget after
they upped Avagadro's number in China last year."
mircea_popescu: they couldn't really
tell, between bubonic plague and malaria and everything else
the "better" social arrangements blessed
them with.
mircea_popescu: but
this aside, yes scurvy - and
to a much larger degree pellagra - were endemic and major qol reducers up until very recently. one of
the many "blessings" of agrarian settlement.
mircea_popescu: if you
think about it -
they could have used say dried figs, if it was ~fruitness~ specifically.
mircea_popescu: the problem with sailing was
that
they had no fresh stuff
mircea_popescu: just like maize was not part of
the diet until
the aztecs invented it.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ for
the record, no fruit was part of
the human diet for
the longest
time (until
the persians actually invented fruit - which is exactly what
they did)
funkenstein_: it's hard
to
tell how rapidly we are changing in
this context as well
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_
that's kind-oif
the point here. all sorts of fraud available
to people
trying
to push pseudo-anthropology agendas. like for instance people don't readily understand just how huge
the genetic and paleohistoric gap between us and chimps is.
mircea_popescu: same is
true of humans, and like in
the case of
those rats (and most other mammals),
the alternatives are extinct
funkenstein_: wow,
that is not
that long ago. crocodiles didn't change much over
that
time.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, re
the 10mn years
thing :
the oldest split
that created
the rat (murines) as different from other rodents is about 13mn years ago.
funkenstein_: but lets not go down
that route, we eat what we can and what we please and enjoy it :D
funkenstein_: it's a good point, all species have evolved
the same amount of
time
mircea_popescu: you will have
to bear in mind
that all hominid species other
than us are extinct.
this isn't some sort of direct lineage, as
the layman often imagines.
funkenstein_: anyway how are
things asseteers? sorry i've been out of
touch, a lot of logs
to go
through ;)
funkenstein_: mircea_popescu: no matter what happens, it's still not going
to be relevant
to
the human behaviour. <-- I may not be a monkey but I am a primate
mircea_popescu: "It is still unhealthy
to breathe in – and smells very bad!" dude srsly, sweden is on euro 4. you can't even
tell it exhausts something.
mircea_popescu: " How much does it cost
to fill up at home," << are
these people fucking retarded ?
mircea_popescu: "We asked if
the constant sound of
the engine -that frankly disturbed us from being able
to listen
to
the radio- could be
turned off. But it couldn’t. Very distracting."
pete_dushenski: "Avoiding
that one hundred kilo iron lump in
the front of
the car makes it so much easier
to build safe cars." << yes, because road-going zeppelins are
the pinnacle of automotive safety. lol.
mircea_popescu: (you hafta add c after
the number if you mean bytes. because
that's logically neither
the default nor is anything wrong with ignoring b silently)
mircea_popescu: because not only is 1258 not equal
to 1258, it is also smaller
than 64.
mircea_popescu: in "the glory of linux", chapter eleventy billion : find . -size 1258 finds nothing. find . -size 1267 finds nothing. find . -size -64 finds all
the 1258 and 1267 byte files
the previous
two didn't find.
mircea_popescu: that she's even got
the nerve
to set foot outof
the house is very reminiscent of
that horvath character.
pete_dushenski: "Police in
Texas killed
two men who opened fire on a security officer outside a contest
to draw cartoons of
the Prophet Muhammad,
the Associated Press reported." << hahaha a muhammad drawing *contest* !! you just know
that's going
to lead
to fireworks.
pete_dushenski: or
the woman
that was
thrown in
the fire when it was clear
that
the building was going down and
the firefighters were no longer of any use
pete_dushenski: both were sacrificial lambs
to appease sjwesque monkeys, and are now but dust.
pete_dushenski: of course, neither fembot made it
to
this upcoming election, which just so happens
to be
tomorrow.
pete_dushenski: this exact same fembot v. fembot routine played out in alberta over
the last 3 years.
assbot: A swimming pool of idle
tears won’t spare
the affirmative action fallguy. She’s still
the canary. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (
http://bit.ly/1dI7TW9 )
pete_dushenski: hell, come
to
think of it, she inspired
the whole damned piece.
pete_dushenski: somehow carla didn't end up mentioned in
this article 2014/12/17/a-swimming-pool-of-idle-tears-wont-spare-the-affirmative-action-fallguy-shes-still-the-canary/ but she was definitely in mind when writing it.
pete_dushenski: "As
the only woman likely
to run for president as a Republican, Carly Fiorina, who officially announced her candidacy Monday, is
the GOP’s counterweight
to Hillary Clinton." << o hey look what
the dead dog of silicon valley dragged in.
mircea_popescu: iirc
the pr bit specifically disclaimed any gs investment in bitcoin
mike_c: i guess
they haven't read mp's "you're
too late" post
mike_c: "it looks like Goldman Sachs wants
to get in on
the ground floor."
mircea_popescu: i know when russel
told me
that fairness was invented during
the crusades, i fucking quoted him by
the name on my blog.
mircea_popescu: then you can
talk
to it about "anthropologists" and not name any.
mircea_popescu: and
that reason being
that when you're stupid, you really need an audience
that doesn't know better.
mircea_popescu: maybe you know, random idiots who failed in academia and
took
to
the internet with
their dog and pony "scientific" show did
this FOR A REASON,
mircea_popescu: and
the monkey is going "fuck you bitch" quite literally at
the experimenter, whom it (wrongly) perceives as a monkey of
the same age and sex.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: maybe eating
the lesser food is how
they enact group hierarchy
davout: i'd
tend
to
think
that if
this was envy,
the first monkey would eat
the cucumber, and
then express some sort of anger at
the experimenter, but yeah, what do i know, i'm not a monkey, at least, most of
the
time
mircea_popescu: how do you know god didn't mean for you
to be a woman ?
mircea_popescu: for all you know snakes are wise and
the world rests on
turtles.
davout: how'd you know it doesn't go "you know bob,
this is un-sjw!!1, also fuck you bitch!"
mircea_popescu: the animal doesn't go "you know bob,
this is un-sjw!!1". it goes "fuck you bitch!"
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, envy is what's at work
there, not "fairness".
mircea_popescu: yeah. we also
thought
the color red was unique
to staplers, perhaps.
mircea_popescu: if it is, it's his job
to explain it. not unnamed "philosophers'"
davout: or as in "fairness as we
thought was unique
to humans"
mircea_popescu: and inasmuch as a "animal fairness" is not in common use, calling
that fairness is really not unlike calling
the guy cunthead.
davout: maybe fairness is meant in a broader sense
than "the human notion of fairness"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, regexp is not
the basis for research, or knowledge.
mircea_popescu: yes, i understand
that cunts run perl and people on
the internet posing as scientists with
their "experiment" consisting of a
two monkey show use cunts for brains
mircea_popescu: no matter what happens, it's still not going
to be relevant
to
the human behaviour.
mircea_popescu: animals fuck,
that doesn't mean animals display "the human notion of love".
they display
the animal notion of love.
davout: "fairness, invented during
the french revolution"
punkman: davout, is
that his pickup-artistry book?
davout: you can't invent
that shit
davout: 60 year-old ugly dude seduced women over
the internet using fake profile pictures, has sex with lots of
them by inviting
them
to get laid in
the dark while blindfolded
pete_dushenski: maybe a better suggestion
than
the one above will materialise in my dreams. off
to find out!
mircea_popescu: when's
the last
time
the bulk of
the news about a major find consists of various scams ?
mircea_popescu: for
the record
the british vulcan is one of
the shittiest bombers in history.
mircea_popescu: re
that 3,658 views youtube :
them riots aren't as notable as a minor football game.
mircea_popescu: "we're gonna pretend like we got oil because it's
the next best
thing
to actually going
to work"
