mircea_popescu: monkeys do not, either.
they eventually learn
to, but if you watch it specifically,
the difference is striking.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu
that's general enough
that i can't argue with
that
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it doesn't. if something makes sense
to only one gender, specifically, it's probably stupid.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this "natural"
thing... shitting in
the bed is also natural. something being natural offers little ethical indication.
ascii_lander: what is
the 'value' of being dragged behind a
truck until nothing remains on
the rope but a small flap of skin ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i guess i'm still wondering why
the 'making sense' equation has women leading and men following
ascii_lander: how do you even comment on
the 'value' of something which pretty much no one has anything like a reasonable reason
to want.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: whatchatalkingabout, works great. just like
the 'noncomputers' running my knives, forks, shoes work great.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu
towards
the value of a child, particularly if handicapped
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander notrly how
this works. cheapest computer is not "no computer".
that's cheapest noncomputer.
ascii_lander: cheapest infanticide is simpy: not making'em in
the first place
BingoBoingo: Anything younger
than 10 is probably
too early
to cull anyways
pete_dushenski: how so ? are
there not differing perspectives ? differing inclinations between
the sexes ?
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't make sense
to women, it doesn't make sense
to men, either. whether
they're poorly equipped
to figure it out or not, notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu: point being,
the strong push weak pull device drives all performance, but performance is a byproduct.
mircea_popescu: unrelated. it's a false bridge between
the
two example cases.
pete_dushenski: deep
throating being when
the father doesn't wish his offspring
to perish strongly enough ? or
too strongly ?
mircea_popescu: as a result, coriolis storms, rainbows, deep
throating and daisies.
mircea_popescu: the sun wants particles strongly energized,
thermodynamics wants particles weakly de-energized.
mircea_popescu: females strongly wish
the offspring
to survive. males weakly wish
the offspring
to perish.
pete_dushenski: females want
their children
to survive, males want
their children
to perform
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i don't
think any woman is going
to score
the male propensity
to infanticide positively.
BingoBoingo: California cheese pretty shitty, dunno why
they are burning so much water on
that and Alfalfa
pete_dushenski: not sure
that being in favour of baby killin' makes one more or less attractive
to opposite sex, but would guess
the latter
ascii_lander: 400.gif << somebody isn't eager
to
take in
the american cheese emitter
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i'd have
to figure
that everywhere has at least some variant of edible, even enjoyable cheese.
ascii_lander: the only answer is something like
total cultural dismantlement (see carthage) and
the proverbial 1000 years of colonial ball-crusher.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it's actually not bad. well,m
the better stuff anyway
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Yeah, but it's also an avenue for contagion. US badgov goes
to Canada
through Green Bay
ascii_lander: 'And she realized, “Every aspect of my life is in
their hands. And
they hate me.”'
pete_dushenski: is wisconsin cheese actually decent? not sure i've
tried any
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo well
then wisconsin has been part of canada longer
than (half) my family!
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander meanwhile i'm like, "yeah
totally, go read
trilema
tomorrow."
ascii_lander: '… next came ominous warnings. Don’t call your lawyer. Don’t
tell anyone about
this raid. Not even your mother, your father, or your closest friends.' << l0l
BingoBoingo: As soon as
there were enough people
there
to commune with yall
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Wisconsin's basically been Canadian since...
the 1920's
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Wisconsin has culturally been
the land of you fuckers forever.
The new stuff is all
things
that should concern you
pete_dushenski: now us border guards can patrol canadian rail stations and airports and if
they kill someone, be subject only
to us law
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo apparently
the border is increasingly blurry
mircea_popescu: and
then start shooting at any groups of cops larger
than one.
BingoBoingo: Wisconsin was
too polite, It's almost pete_dushenski land
mircea_popescu: put up signs "groups of police not allowed on
this property. come alone or get shot."
pete_dushenski: they probably enjoyed
the entertainment before busting in
mircea_popescu: "She got
the dogs safely out of
the house, just as multiple armed agents rushed inside. Some even barged into
the bathroom, where her partner was in
the shower."
ascii_lander: 'We are worms, we're
the best, and we've come
to win
the war. / We'll stand, we'll never run; stay until it's done.' (™) (R)
BingoBoingo: Maybe earthworms are wired
to like living in
the shit?
mircea_popescu: and if earthworms knew what
their fate is
they'd miss being
the emperors of china, and
the
throne.
BingoBoingo: When I make it out I'd like
to avoid
that part. Probably not stay in hardware B-A
too long first visit, but definitely
temped
to spend decade+ outsid of Illinois.
ascii_lander: i'm convinced
that if most u.s. folks knew what kind of jail
they live in,
they would go full bore apeshit.

ascii_lander: BingoBoingo: re: earlier
thread: you would, i
think, like
this place.
pete_dushenski: i can see it. savvy basically meaning
that you can make
the machine do what you want
mircea_popescu: i used
to read diskedit printouts looking for Stoned B as a kid, i CAN do it.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: idk but i still remember when
that -meant- - if meant anything -
that one could program
mircea_popescu: so is
the consensus
that one can't be
tech savvy without being a programmer ?
BingoBoingo: ascii_lander seems
to be lingering longer
this
time
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu so how did
the first conference in bsas stack up with
the romanian editions ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander yes but like jourdain speaking in prose, he might not realise
that's what it is.
pete_dushenski: and he can sync it
to itunes. his grandma cannot do
this.
ascii_lander: 'Or any recommendations in general for someone who is quite
tech savvy, but whose programming skills and experience don't go beyond writing some basic scripts.' << what does 'tech savvy' mean?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu
that commenter sounds pretty... simple.
ascii_lander just noticed
the steady drip of derpcomments on
trilema re:
the fetlife
thing
ascii_lander: might as well go straight
to 'epidemiological hazard, nominated for glassing'
mircea_popescu: i was speaking of
the proper
term, illegal as deemed by
the most serene republic.
ascii_lander: it does not apply
to anything usg or its
tentacles might do.
ascii_lander: l0l, 'illegal' is a concept only meaningful
to commoners, in usa
