mircea_popescu:
diana_coman the reason they "didn't notice" / "didn't take action" is that they're "modern democracy liberal civilised people" which is to say that strange sect of neopuritanism which believes from is both necessary and sufficient ; don't curse and you'll go to heaven ; don't say nigger and you'll get promoted ; don't meaningfully talk or actually interact with your children and they'll go to college.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, that
diana_coman , otherwise the soul of benevolence and peacibility, is talking of smushing and killing keenly reminds me of an older trilema article ;
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman it's really not much of a general interest piece ; amateur and professional entomologists only.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman the way it goes in my head reading it is something like "why doesn't this fucking spider walk away. o wait, ITS A SPIDER."
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman he died in 2014 ; killed a buncha girls at uc santa barbara
phf:
diana_coman: i think i didn't say enough on the subject. the core of what i did in order to get it to build on mac os x is fix autoconf scripts, if i revisit mac os x build in a couple of weeks, i'll try and provide a portable patch
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman did we eat that up or what happened do you recall ?
phf: by changes i mean the homebrew build patches. pretty sure i said something about "please look at them patches" in #eulora, probably to jurov or
diana_coman. i highly doubt it was done, so more suffering on their part :>
mod6: <+
diana_coman> hi mod6 how's that eulora-box thing going? :D << hi!! it's not going exactly yet. been kinda caught up. i need to get a box for that. will do, soonish.
mircea_popescu: hm. im guessing we'll get together with
diana_coman and write a spec ? unless you want to propose one ?
mircea_popescu: it was a painless ~10 minute compile for everyone who tried it so far, but
diana_coman 's kinda curious if that holds out in win or not.
mod6: i'm kindof an asshole right now - I told
diana_coman that I'd play more this year, just need to get a new box first. that was... months ago. :/
phf:
diana_coman: perfectly fit for proper and good life as defined by tolkien, somehow magically fit for all the necessary tasks of the quest. even fighting, like pippin and merry after they are split from fellowship. they are literally only unfit for things that are bad, and even there frodo eventually at the last moment gets corrupted, Let That Be A Warning To You All
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman finer, i will wager, than anything to be found in the 50k lop (lines of pablum) here under consideration.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman take the story of the whore who wanted to fuck the patriarch. it's a fine story.

diana_coman: I'll add only the message that considered to be "what Tolkien had to say" (even though he did it through "not-real-life universe") namely that all and everyone (yeah, the ordinary and no, they are not made anything by gandalf quite pointedly not made anything by him) is in some way responsible /called to do something when shit hits the fan; that is all I guess

diana_coman you know that medieval "for lack of a nail" thing ?
mircea_popescu: when i was a child i wore blue, and
diana_coman wore pink. thanks god they didn't mix up the colors, lest i'd have grown tits ?
BingoBoingo:
diana_coman: Well butthurt does tend to fade. If it persists longer than two weeks they have to see a doctor
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman methinks you just explained what you asked of me.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman you familiar with bouvard & pecuchet, the dicitonary readers ?
mircea_popescu: what doth surprise me however,
diana_coman , is that the allergy i presume in you for the works of "socialist realism" does not somehow extend to... this here OTHER, exactly the same, socialist realism.
BingoBoingo:
diana_coman: It is the manifestation of the Obeast's character defects amplified by their access to butter.
BingoBoingo: <
diana_coman> exactly because they are not special << And then they take a shit on national borders et al. Reading this sort of immersive universe is exactly how awkward teens become bornies/aspies/et al because they can wait for Gandalf to make them different and interesting.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman you know that medieval "for lack of a nail" thing ?
☟︎ BingoBoingo:
diana_coman: What, wizards don't get to count?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman was mostly directed at teh boys, who never read literary criticism in their lyf.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman this is not true, for i am not people. i am a scholar, and when i spit an error the problem's the code not the compiler.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman not merely. but that he never tackled any problems.
mod6:
diana_coman: congrats on eulora release!
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman most likely plaesi, other side of mountain from piatra neamt.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman lol what a mess. a) wasn't built by teutons ; b) cantemir the elder was king, not stephen omfg.

diana_coman: me: I do NOT WANT TO GET USED TO IT

diana_coman: this is what i was trying to get across with the 'bad flying only kills a busful, bad program - potentially everyone' example
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman bad code has much more staying power than good code.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman certainly not a cake. but it also has this passive "don't touch the instruments" educative value. womenz particularly vulnerable to this crap.
mircea_popescu: but to the more general point, Framedragger : the master's job is mostly to encourage and support the young woman TO ACTUALLY MAKE CHOICES. which is to say, exactly to distance herself from learned helplessness of the nature of
diana_coman 's above mentioned " don't change anything or it might all fall down"
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman likely, which is the irony here. you can either have schooling for boys, or for girls.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman and the answer is obvious : something else dun menstruate.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman more importantly : they are tools, programmed as tools, expected to deliver untool likethings.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman i can't stand his conventional bullshit. he dared criticise (young) caraqiale for "poor morals" in plays ? the schmuck borrowed on his income months in advance to dress up and bullshit like that. he has a massive vein of "never got over mom" that i loathe in writers.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman this is a dubious assertion, in the same vein we could say "ian murdock did the work, rest did gui" or w/e.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman irl it worked as, to quote famous wilde tidbit, "i leave it to you to to fix the here's and there's".
diana_coman: <mircea_popescu> damn i mean,
diana_coman how many students can you fail. <- myeah, I know; thing is also: they shouldn't have gotten that high to fail basically, not that many
mircea_popescu: damn i mean,
diana_coman how many students can you fail.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman the little bitches here are whining that "costs - by the sky, presupuestos (ie, "conditii"), under the floors". you should see the fucking place, i nearly wept for 1970s nostalgia.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman that's good in case your high heels aren't even.
ascii_deadfiber:
diana_coman: 'toilet door' being the front door? or the stall doors
phf: i prefer to just loosen the requirements a bit. a failure in a vpatch doesn't need to result in public disgrace, shaming or execution. that might be one of reasons why work came to utter stand still, nobody wants to "sign off" on this or that like it's going to end in the style of
diana_coman's story
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman i'm pretty much convinced by now that what the ro crowds actually meant in 1989 by "wanting western democracy" was "we want italian tv"
mircea_popescu: darn i keep highlighting poor diametric when i want to say
diana_coman mircea_popescu:
diana_coman they also make excellent women in the south, but...
deedbot:
diana_coman rated vtheimpaler 1 << New to Eulora.
deedbot:
diana_coman has not rated vtheimpaler_.

diana_coman: life costs quite a lot in itself and the more elaborate you make it basically, the higher the cost, of course
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:48
diana_coman: well, a pgp message at this point quite serves as that letter I guess
mircea_popescu: ironically, this whole thing is also discussed on trilema. lemme fish it out, mostly for
diana_coman 's interest mebbe.

diana_coman: dunno, maybe it all even started with the printing press then along those lines

diana_coman: the medium is intrinsically unfriendly on account of every-derp-can-modify.

diana_coman: + tbh I find it all of a sudden terribly annoying that one would have to go back to *necessarily* write on paper (why not parchment? why not stone?) *because* of...rats
