shinohai: One good thing about teh South, I used to go out back behind the cotton mills and get tons of free soft cotton rags.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it is only 'great for dusting' when new. but i've found that lens cleaner cloth is ~disposable, it dun 'micro-' no moar after 1st wash.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, the thing i liked most about it was that chick now speaks... exactly like me.

mircea_popescu: I AM SO RELIEFED

mircea_popescu: jesus fuck i was waiting to pop that one since i met him.\

mircea_popescu: "if i want to wear shredded bottlecaps i'll just make my own, dorks"

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749890 << this is actually so clever i think ima add it to the standard mp ops manual. << In another caveat to this... Here is the first place I have been to with meetings of such epic lengths. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: in similar lulz, from gal on cali mission recently : "in other news i saw a $7000 bathrobe yesterday. the moment anything says boutique i know it's gonna be like car-prices-for-decorative-knick-knacks sorta deal".

shinohai: So far deviantart search is ..... fruitless. I can't get too many to talk to me yet, its like a sjw site. "Bitcoin is cool, but you trilema people are transphobic"

mircea_popescu: and i mean go like the latinos read it, "ho".

mircea_popescu: but i mean, REMARKABLY fucking idiotic. dude's idea was that rando movie star is important, on the basis of i dunno, all he ever read was vanity fair i guess

asciilifeform: as it is, i haven't even mustered the givingashit to go there as pure tourist

asciilifeform many times offered work in ca, equally many times refused. 'tell me why i should take the double pay , so as to pay 3x for flat, and it will have roaches , why ? '

gabriel_laddel: I was computing so they stuck me into mental.. no charge

mircea_popescu: i think this takes the cake. yo why TRIPLE on/off login wtf is this

mircea_popescu: i guess actually this'd be the best approximation for tmsr currently, at that.

mircea_popescu: if they had a kickbacks scheme with eg stanford bs i would be utterly unsuirprised.

mircea_popescu: ~every chinese mba i ever met however remotely wants to work for three-white-names-you-never-heard-of financfial firm.

asciilifeform: fwiw ( and supposing the item is true as written ) i dun get why usg would say no to an idjit willing to pay $mil to move to usgistan

mircea_popescu: since i'm supposed to believe that "quotas are exceeded" is some kind of argument.

mircea_popescu: in other "lottery winning", for the past half hour while taking shower i've been mulling over the dilemma of whether i can be arsed to go over to fine restaurant have their absolutely fabulous porterhouse or not really.

mircea_popescu: the "lottery" theory is very much in the vein of "when one is born male, one gets advantages", ie, statistical retrofitting. the past 30 years have well proven that there's no causality there -- yes people who were born male i nthe past also coincidentally later developped into enviable positions. but the maleness was not germane, as proven by the sad scum that is just as biologically male born these days, and holds all the p

asciilifeform: 'Eventually I was able to meet the chief financial officer of my favorite company, Costco. He told me that they don’t hire any MBAs. Everyone starts by pushing trolleys. (I have seriously thought about doing just that. But my wife is strongly against it.) Maybe, I thought, that is why the company is so successful—no MBAs!'

asciilifeform: 'We talked about microaggressions and feelings and empathy and listening. Sometimes in class the professor would say things to me like “Puzhong, when Mary said that, I could see you were really feeling something,” or “Puzhong, I could see in your eyes that Peter’s story affected you.” And I would tell them I didn’t feel anything. I was quite confused.' << lol

mircea_popescu: "Holy shit Freud is spelled with an e not an a ? I had been spelling it wrong all these years and had no idea!"

shinohai: I hadn't heard the term "Pink Elephant" in years ... last time was when I got a bunch of bennies to make sobering up from 3 day binge easier.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo a painted elephant ? i have not really been literally everywhere already, cmon.

BingoBoingo: When I saw it and the zoo I wondered if maybe they'd been trilema'd

asciilifeform: pretend-i-am-a-disk-drive ?

mircea_popescu: then again i guess a good third of all trilema convos are about that.

mircea_popescu: but slavegirl is safe in that "tell you what, how about i crack your skull open ?" is very... relaxing.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i wouldn't avise "free agents" to try, that's for damn sure.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i was always suspicious of this "could not" business. really, you can't ? << Well advised not to. Once started who knows when stopping happens

mircea_popescu: well... kinda the whole point of smoking, neh ? "it just... relaxes me, man" "and how do yo uthink it does that ?" "i don't know, there's some like brain receptors or something"

asciilifeform: loldunlookatme, i dun like developing dope tolerances at all

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749890 << this is actually so clever i think ima add it to the standard mp ops manual. << Funny how incidental self care part of the plan becomes lynch pin. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: eventually once there's no hidey hole for "i just can't help myself" and no fucking benefit to binging whatsoever... they can./

mircea_popescu: i was always suspicious of this "could not" business. really, you can't ?

asciilifeform: 'Kraft knew a lot more than I did about wines, and he often brought home cobwebby treasures to go with a meal. But, even though Kraft always had a filled glass before him when we sat down to eat, the wine was all for me. Kraft was an alcoholic. He could not take so much as a sip of wine without starting on a bender that could last a month. That much of what he told me about himself was true. He was a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, h

mircea_popescu: anyway, i expect there's a market.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749901 << considering i made ~the item artisanally... o hey check that out, anally! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749890 << this is actually so clever i think ima add it to the standard mp ops manual. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i suppose this reduces the discussion to "there's two kinds of bipedals, the monkey and the human. the monkey dedicates itself to building wail groups, and the human to not needing to." ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749871 << https as entirely worthless as ever ; though evidently i don't expect smartypants a la eg http://trilema.com/2017/lets-revisit-the-google-is-irrelevant-discussion/#comment-123821 to perceive THEIR DUTY to now mourn / worship in compensation. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mine are going into the boxes proper. q is whether it is worth turning into a catalogue item. << I see it hard to imagine how people could want to vacation here without such a contrivance in the box they leave behind to colocate

pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-11#1749327 << BingoBoingo not sure i properly congratulated you on pulling the chute! digging the reportage thus far. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i can't conceive how this'd happen in times square

mircea_popescu: "i can scarcely apprehend the confusion of ideas" etc.

mircea_popescu: "she was a (((journalist))) (((working))) in irak, the dumb fucking bitch. man that wet thud of her brain on concrete was fucking satisfying, i went back into the foxhole and rubbed myself raw"

asciilifeform: i'm still not convinced that spamism is anything but 'fat-powered' item . likely, the chumpers dun have a hundy between them, collectively

mircea_popescu: in fact, it works so well i expect even idiocy a la http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749817 delivers. the quality of the chumps is so fucken low... ☝︎

mircea_popescu: pretty sure i'd have said something.

asciilifeform: for a sec i thought they did a formal surrender.

mircea_popescu: in other sads, fetlife profile now getting >100 pieces of mail a day. da fuck am i gonna do, assign slave to manage it ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun know yet, gotta see what BingoBoingo comes up with.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile, in other productive discussions that never were, i expect NOT A SINGLE ONE of the various "experts" in their own mind, economists, political theorists, whatnot will actually engage http://trilema.com/2017/the-ecu/ ; much like buffett "couldn't find shorts" back in the days of http://trilema.com/2014/an-era-ends-today-a-new-era-starts-today/ and just as http://trilema.com/2015/the-harry-potter-challenge/ never happe

asciilifeform: and incidentally i oughta ask the folx tuned in, whether there is demand for mass-produced mounting kit for FG-in-1U , that'd include this item + mechanical dildo for hanging from a pci slot bracket.

mircea_popescu: i suspect actual item orc wants is a land where there's no smart people.

mircea_popescu: i dunno.

asciilifeform: i dun see the 'life was so inconceivably sweet before the fr rev' d00d as so different.

mircea_popescu: but i am convinced that strictly, very and absolutely strictly the only reason why mr adrian crisan is spending his afternoon writing up that and then xeroxing it in preference of say "editing wikipedia" or "working for google" as a "moderator" is that he does not perceive how the later would deliver him more usg empire per unit effort than the former.

asciilifeform: i imagine 1 simple litmus would be to learn whether d00d in the end did buy a crapple.

mircea_popescu: i eschew buying fucking apple laptop. he eschews nothing.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am laughing at him because of many other things ; included among them that he DIDNT eschew buying comp, simply did not understand what it was.

asciilifeform: and so i won't laugh at him simply because he eschewed buying a comp.

mircea_popescu: i doubt it's that. i suspect orc simply did not know what this wordprocessor thing is.

mircea_popescu: anyway, i had no fucking idea, back in 2010, what a big deal a random photograph of mailboix spam will become in not even a decade. but it IS a huge deal. consider -- that guy, who IS NOT the proponent, WROTE!!! by hand!!! ie just like http://trilema.com/2017/of-ducks-and-lameness/ !! so as to stuff my mailbox with xerocopies.

a111: Logged on 2016-01-28 12:46 asciilifeform: i do wonder, do the 'basic income' folks simply not understand the hierarchical role of money? or think that it can be magicked away? or do not, but lie about it ?

mircea_popescu: HOW exactly they do this is incomprehensible. but consider : guy who was 3rd echelon politruk under shoemaker ; guy who was too dumb / poorly connected to make anything of the 90s, resurfaces in 2010! with a "proposal" which consists of "here's this adaptation of usg-isms as i understand them".

asciilifeform: aaaa i recall this was mentioned

asciilifeform: i suppose this story went the same way ?

a111: Logged on 2017-12-12 16:32 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749788 << this is a pretty interesting item, and i suspect a very similar problem in what'll remain of usa.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749875 << i imagined you'll enjoy. possibly also teh original to some reference in latest, http://trilema.com/2010/cum-am-ras-astazi/ ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-10-03 03:05 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719979 << gotta appreciate this peculiar fact : asciilifeform used nfs co. service since 2007. not misprint : a decade sharp as of a few mo. ago. with ZERO MAINTENANCE and ZERO hassle and ~zero downtime and laughed at GB/s ddoses and do i have to go on ?

asciilifeform: could've sworn i described it here

asciilifeform: i suspect these get sucked out of google's image finder thing automagically

BingoBoingo: <mats> i keep seeing 'traumatic brain injury' in your statements, BingoBoingo << Well, got anybetter short forms for "The Boingo ISP"?

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749779 << but I don't oppose this, would be more convenient at no apparent cost. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-12-12 03:27 asciilifeform: often the link pops up hour or moar after the invocation, and i end up clicking, expecting traditional (i.e. plaintext) deedbot material

a111: Logged on 2017-12-12 03:27 asciilifeform: trinque: i've wondered for some time , is the thing where your walletron throws pgpciphered matter into the greater void, as in e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749739 , without the addressee's name in the line -- deliberate design choice ?

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749758 << nope, though I dunno where you saw http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749761 happen ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: lol i think i deposited a btc back when it was a few hundy

trinque: yep, I approve so far. no bullshit, very straightforward.

ben_vulpes: i kid, i kid

mod6: asciilifeform: ok I got it working with gnat-2016. somehow i had a corrupted install i believe. http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/AOIKx/?raw=true

mircea_popescu: i suspect twice may be an understatement

lobbes: word. I'm in no real rush either way (and I think I only had around 0.001 on there)

mircea_popescu: i guess his is shorter

a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 21:13 lobbes: and yeah, I overlooked that I apparently had to also remove expiration on the sub -explicitly- (via gpg --edit-key). Even though it was showing the sub as 'expiration: none' after I had removed expiration on the pub way back when

lobbes: I wonder if this has to do with: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-08#1734399 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: so i re-watched la grande belezza for like the twelfth time. it's possibly the greatest film ever made. or maybe i'm just slow -- for instance, only now did it finally occur to me that the giulio moneta, "uno dei dieci latitanti piu ricercati del mondo" was in fact a straight reference to m m denaro.
