shinohai: Don'

mircea_popescu: is it because i eat the tainted food of argentines, who are the sort of people who don'
t fly, and probably for a reason ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: unless your intel folks told you something i don'
t know about tlp - his life is a pisspot because he lives and works in usaschwitz being veterinarian to the cattle, rather than because he fails to properly grasp the mechanics of 16 y.o. gurlz...
mircea_popescu: omaigerd anyone who would invite a 16yo into life is a psychopath!!1. which really masks "omaygerd being 16 is so fucking scary!111" which he can'

pete_dushenski: can'

davout: and note that i'm extremely unqualified to speak on the subject, but it seems to me that as long as you behave, you don'

pete_dushenski: no one's saying that there isn'

davout: that doesn'

pete_dushenski: ascii_field: never said you weren'

pete_dushenski: davout: lol commenter dood can'
t even imagine such a thing !
ascii_field: since pete_dushenski is awake, i suppose i ought to try to explain to him whatever it is that he doesn'
t seem to grasp re: my being a slave.
pete_dushenski: davout: as long as we don'

assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 09:59:49; mircea_popescu: wherein tlp sides with alf in the alf-mp debate over assange/wikileaks etc, but wherein tlp also SHOWS (do, don'
t tell!) the fundamental weakness of that position. "oh truth without context isn'
t truth [and let's not mention how this is only because our science isn'
t actually science - if it were this problem wouldn'

assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 09:39:35; mircea_popescu: i got a perfectly fine thinkpad, asciilifeform doesn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: table: yes, you're hot, but you don'

mircea_popescu: they CAN. and they should. the reason they don'
t has a lot to do with that peerless question of "what would tlp do if he individuated".
mircea_popescu: and if they won'
t not let you, if they won'
t be EAGERLY complicit in your control of "their" codes, you punish them.
mircea_popescu: this is, incidentally, a fundamental point to be considered for those inclined to interact with the scum (aka, non-qntra reporters), a point which that seduction expert (i don'
t recall which one but was in the logs - something about how he went on a "live" show where the 5 dollar audience bood him on cue) : you do want to control their codes. because you must project your own ownership of reality, and of their sorry pe
☟︎ mircea_popescu: " They don'
t give his age, they give a physical description. Media-- and The New Yorker is probably the wost offender of this-- offers a physical description of their subject as a code about their character in exactly the way the media would never allow a regular person to do." <<< right, because it's not about anythihng but trying to misrepresent themselves as powerful. the only reason random derp can'
t say "nigger"
mircea_popescu: And some are, I guess, there's got to be an Admissions Dean in the building somewhere. But the average applicant is writing an essay that he thinks an adult with a suit and three kids would want to read. Instead, it's probably being read by someone who can'
t wait for the new iphone and still bites their nails. Ten grand says they think Jon Stewart is "a freakin' political genius.""
mircea_popescu: In every college admissions website, they are referred to as "Admissions Officers." While I didn'
t assume they were in the military, I suppose I did assume they were... old. er.
mircea_popescu: vulpes_a_hopital those don'
t exist. if she goes over 42.5 or so the doctors usually go in.
vulpes_a_hopital: thestringpuller: howdja get to france if you couldn'

mircea_popescu: "if he were ~~~truely~~~ conscientious he'd take better care of himself. plus he wouldn'

BingoBoingo: Oh, so it wasn'

phf: one of the quoted studies only looks at consciousness (for pair programming in class setting), and finds correlation. shouldn'
t that be removed from the metastudy stats on account of scewing one variable.
mircea_popescu: and I don'
t know any guy in the world who has an extra pack of socks available "just in case." << now you do. chicks (that don'
t even wear underwear!) carry spare socks and similar stuff around for my convenience. so there!
mircea_popescu: "Real Men Don'
t Buy Girls" pretends to be a PSA against child sex slavery. What it really is an effort in rebranding. In this clip, you see Ashton Kutcher. If you had to find 300M Americans to be on a list of "Real Men," and every person in America except for Ashton Kutcher had been eaten by a giant squid, Ashton Kutcher would still not make that list, ever.
pete_dushenski: "But how can the author will a meta-analysis to show what he wants it to show? Maybe he could manipulate an individual study, wouldn'
t a "study of studies" be immune to his dark sorcery? Imagine a study of Prozac vs. placebo in 10000 patients, and Prozac is awesome. Imagine two more studies, each with 6 patients, and Prozac doesn'

mircea_popescu: don'

pete_dushenski: 'they don'

mircea_popescu: meanwhile
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=28-10-2015#1309798 is a much deeper problem than realised. yes, it's true that the adolescents see themselves as peers to the adults. NOT IT IS NOT TRUE THEY ARE. yes it is this false, unfounded identification that drives both DK and the insane notions of the adolescents as to the failures of both "the world" and adults (these two aren'
t even really different).
☝︎ mircea_popescu: before that happens there necessarily isn'

ascii_field: recent ones don'

punkman: otherwise, I don'

jurov: mircea_popescu: you don'

mircea_popescu: <davout> i can'

BingoBoingo: But seriously steam, the power transmission medium doesn'

mircea_popescu: heh. "But now all sorts of well-established, multiply confirmed findings have started to look increasingly uncertain. It's as if our facts were losing their truth: claims that have been enshrined in textbooks are suddenly unprovable. This phenomenon doesn'
t yet have an official name, but it's occurring across a wide range of fields, from psychology to ecology."
mircea_popescu: often the correct solution is the one daphna waxman met ; invent an exquisite, heretofore ~inimaginable~ EVEN MORE humiliating retreat, and let them chose the shameful retreat they weren'
t originally going to choose, and be thankful for it.
mircea_popescu: sometimes people just don'
t get what they want. and in THEIR case, it's all the time anyway, so best be well used to it.
mircea_popescu: "Finally, in every conflict, the ones you can win and the ones you can'
t, unless you really want to fight you must always give the other person a saving-face way to back down. No one, especially nowadays, wants to walk away in shame, they'd rather die, or kill you.

mircea_popescu: "An observation: Sheen went publicly insane early last week. It wasn'

mircea_popescu: "Anyone on the outside should be able to see this for what it is: a mafia style protection racket. Pay us. If you pay us, we will protect you from those who... don'
t pay us."
mircea_popescu: "Why are you hearing about this story, in this way: "oh my god, those bastards won'
t even cut a break to a poor black woman?" Because that story simultaneously delivers the government's message: "we don'
t squander taxpayer resources; we'll fight to protect every dime we can get." The symbiosis between media and politics: the media gets their readers, and the government gets their message relayed to the public. Ther

T on the cl-irc end << cl-irc is a thin layer on top of irc protocol, so connection state is something you have to handle yourself. connectedp simply queries underlying stream for whether it's still formally open. you have to setup mechanism (say a separate thread) to send PING to the server at a regular
