down the entire politico-juridistical establishment of the entire faux-free world, i ain't signing any paper with you."
mircea_popescu: "But Chill is not the opposite of uptight. It is the opposite of demanding accountability. Chill is a sinister refashioning of “Calm
down!” from an enraging and highly gendered command into an admirable attitude. Chill suggests that young love is best expressed as competitive ambivalence. Chill demands that you see a Read receipt followed by a “Hey, was asleep” text three hours later and not proceed to throw yo

down-payment, pay it off quickly, then not have to worry about a monthly rent payment

down, i tell you

down ?
pete_dushenski: "Hard forking changes require that ultimately every participant in the system adopts the new rules. I find it immoral and dangerous to merge such a change without extremely widespread agreement. I am personally fine with a short-term small block size bump to kick the can
down the road if that is what the ecosystem desires, but I can only agree with merging it in Core if I'm convinced that there is no strong oppositio
BingoBoingo: “We’re not opposed to the solar farm itself, just that particular location,” Lane said. “We wanted to make sure they didn’t overtake the town.” << Translation: 3 in our backyard already, stop forcing them

Down mircea_popescu: the notion that "uppity ustard talking out of line" is correctly represented as "fellow human taking on too much risk" is a core example of this problem, actually. what, we're all sitting at a table in mutual equality deciding how much to put
down on red ? gtfo, you're not even allowed in the parking lot.
mircea_popescu: "Unfortunately, having failed to execute on our original vision, we recently made the decision to wind
down the company."
nubbins`: we knew we'd run out of gas, but bobby steered and lisa worked the accelerator and we got as far
down that road as we could. unfortunately we just couldn't pull over to the shoulder.
mircea_popescu: Each member of our now pared-
down team knew exactly how much runway the company had remaining, the status of our strategic talks, and the acknowledged long odds we faced as a going concern. To their credit, they remained focused, productive and on-task until our final day — a remarkable expression of dedication to the mission and to each other. Sadly, and in spite of the achievements, we simply ran out of time and ca

down on state sponsored medications and they aren't doing a thing

pete_dushenski: heh. bringing in a whackload of non-yurapeans into your country without also forcing them to submit to the rules and regulations of the dominant resident culture is asking to be mowed

assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 23:17:54; danielpbarron: having to raise a child with
down syndrome is not a waste of a life, especially in light of the fact that when fed a special diet these children can actually thrive

danielpbarron: isn't
down syndrome more like obesity, in that it is one step removed from whatever the bad thing is?
mircea_popescu: point remains, if you're going to "ban smoking" because "smoking is bad" you gotta ban
down syndrome births.

mircea_popescu: "ltv" being one of the lulziest snakeoil products the marketing scambunch has been pushing
down the throats of public cos
pete_dushenski: "This isn’t just bad manners, it’s destructive. Taleb is intentionally tearing
down the kind of back-and-forth conversations that are critical to helping laypeople (like himself) form educated opinions about the safety of GMOs and other scientific subjects. And he’s doing with ugly, personal insults that demonize the other side of the debate, just because it’s fun. It’s a terrible, foolish strategy." <
mircea_popescu: anyway. the saudi's have russia's backing, which is what the whole oil glut and cutting bahamas
down at the knees was all about. they did their part and the russkis can't afford to sell them out. nor does anyone exist who could make a decent offer, bahamas' is dead broke and the eu is a joke.
