mircea_popescu: "what if the northern part of new world was actually important and like, events happened here and shit ?~!?!?"
mircea_popescu: btw, you are aware the canticle is just history-of-cluny with the serials (and most of the good stuff) shaved off ?
mircea_popescu: the paste idea is pretty good, in that it takes the (unavoidable, btw) line issue away entirely.
mircea_popescu: there;s this whole pile of 2nd world "Cinema" made by 30second ad people.
mircea_popescu: !A .F00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000A.F00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000B-[=]#
mircea_popescu: nice. will make a great tool i expect, can reference bot in examples etc.
mircea_popescu: and is it getting updated in step with the ffa publishings ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform !A help would be nice once you get around to it.
mircea_popescu: sure, i'll be happy to look up what the thing should be in preference of your doing it. lessee.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform other than the wrong control sequence / your utter ignoring of that whole mechanism, the bot is compliant, spits out one line per command, can sit forever.
mircea_popescu is willing to bet chuck moore is too dumb to figure this out.

mircea_popescu: where the fuck is that piece commenting on how soviet citizens all sooner or later wake up to the disney quality of their state ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: one item is stated ; the other item is not stated. does this belie anything about the relative situations of beliefs ?
mircea_popescu: you understand statement is the first process in the dissolution of taboo and the de-fanging of belief ?
mircea_popescu: how come the arcane "you're missing the includes" need not be mentioned in one piece but was mentioned in the other and this gives you no pause in the "that's how i'd have done" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how come your above item fails to point out the obvious, "he was dedicated to the supremacy of white man, and his enslavement of the entire world and nature itself to his own tastes and inclinations" ?
mircea_popescu: it should perhaps be pointed out that while things like grocery lists, love letters, blog articles, ransom notes at all one might "should" write, it is the obituary which stands alone among all the literary forms as the only piece man must, eventually but absolutely MUST write.
mircea_popescu: am i actually the only one to have written any obituaries, incidentally ?
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to say "if i were writing it i'd have written the same" when you wrote a few and considered how you'd write even more. but on the nude... ?
mircea_popescu: but you spoke like one who had considered the matter of writing obits quite well ?!
mircea_popescu: well now i wanna see this. pretend i'm dead and let's see three paragraphs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so then there's no substance to your disagreement, nor is the reading martian after all ?!
mircea_popescu: god knows nobody has YET written a piece for the usg faux news outlets that survived braindamaging at time of packaging (and some truly eminent examples documented by various parties)
mircea_popescu: the other direct avenue, of course, is to say "text was a lot better as author submitted it, before forbes"ru" chiseled it into visible shape". which for all i know might even be true,
mircea_popescu: well, so it's martian, happens. not like it's mandatory or anything ; but might be informative. or not.
mircea_popescu: what, fellow could not have used his language to say what he meant, i am to reconstruct the dinosaur out of half tooth ?
mircea_popescu: as i said, i can see this reading ; but it is entirely not what the text says.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless! the "genuine similarity" as one might in sufficient analysis passes unearth, is spurious when compared to the evident construction and its evident goals.
mircea_popescu: at the very least because, obviously, no two things man-made can be entirely disjunct thereby.
mircea_popescu: the argument is not that usian socialism is utterly and entirely disjunct from soviet socialism
mircea_popescu: the story would work just as well but better with the coffee/tea switched, but i did it this way in memory of the master nikolay pushkin.
mircea_popescu: at the inspector's puzzled query, asciilifeform responded "it's clear he meant tea rather than coffee by that request".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was once director of insane asylum. moscow inspectors came to examine ivan bonapartii napoleonovich, a celebrated nutcase. ivan said "einstein is a jew, because his theories privilege the speed of light in preference of other speeds that are much more important to us" and asciilifeform brought ivan a cup of tea.
