mircea_popescu: "asciilifeform: 'Assange and Snowden are cold or actively insulting and hostile << mp has insulted women, gays, black people and social workers. clearly he's a fake cia mp pretending to be the real mp.
asciilifeform: http://www.carlbernstein.com << that one
asciilifeform: he's talking about carl bernstein
mircea_popescu: a claim that's tested in a restated from should be divorced from the original.
asciilifeform: but claim - testable
mircea_popescu: "those jews are so obvious! after killing christ, they're now blabla"
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 16:14:42; asciilifeform: 'As they say, 'you cannot make these things up', the Americans are so ridiculously obvious as they conduct criminal deceptions. The CIA's 'Watergate' scheme to destroy Richard Nixon 40 years ago, was so successfully with the fake 'brave reporter' Woodward, that the CIA even decided to use Woodward's junior partner as a fake 'brave reporter' along with Greenwald in 'Operation Fake Dissident Snowden'.'
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072601 << i am especially suspicious of this sort of claim. it's essentially a stereotype and an appeal to ignorance rolled into a mcdonald nugget.
mircea_popescu: you know that accent mobsters / kids in poor neighbourhood have in 30s, 40s and some 50s movies ?
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=boid | Boid is an anagram for the phrase "blacked out in a ditch." The last two letters can be substituted for any number of different things, such as boib or boor (blacked ...
jurov: myeah nubs did the book too "dogs of newfoundland and labrador" or such
nubbins`: why are all these people spamming the blockchain with bitcoin transactions?
nubbins`: mcdonald's sues the humble potato after it is revealed it's just a bunch of goddamn fries all stuck together
mircea_popescu: because it naturally infringes the kfc ip.
mircea_popescu: we dub it The Infringer
nubbins`: "why is this bird made out of KFC?"
assbot: Logged on 04-02-2014 20:36:16; dub: why is part of canukistan named after two dogs?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-02-2014#479584 << i think it all started here. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 10-09-2014 13:22:53; mircea_popescu: you mean Two Dogs isn't originally populated by dogs ?
nubbins`: wow i really ran with that hey
nubbins`: !s twodogland
nubbins`: i thought it was you!
BingoBoingo: Two more stories from Stluz today http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/prosecutor-brooklyn-ill-police-mishandled-evidence-and-towed-cars-for/article_09f92780-0e39-5cba-a677-9f02529ab047.html http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/man-whose-death-was-ruled-a-suicide-was-actually-killed/article_a95cfc4a-9f96-5ab3-9f0c-00c105ad3569.html
nubbins`: noway dude, do you even log? no monsanto in twodogland
nubbins`: w/e, it'll get picked up in the monthly roundup :D
mircea_popescu: jurov notice the very heavy bias for she-stuff in b-a ? womanly job gets shares, manly job gets bupkiss
jurov: nubbins`: yup, there
asciilifeform: they do it to russians all the time
mircea_popescu: not how this works.
mircea_popescu: not because she went to a club and got herself stiff drunk to be fucked.
nubbins`: yeah gmail is mangling it, even in plain text ☟︎
mircea_popescu: these all are the why in the exact sense girl you picked up in a club stiff drunk is havin sex with you because she liked your record collection and loves your hair
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't see the fear component ? recall teh discussion re buses and the fate of war in afghanistan ?
asciilifeform: they aren't rolling out the robots because they fear. but to save cost of a few stormtroopers' life insurance
mircea_popescu: oft evaluates to zero.
mircea_popescu: or in another approach, "asciilifeform:'The laughable CIA story we are asked to swallow, is that the US regime is doing zero against Omidyar, " << we are similarly asked to believe the cia story that the us is doing zero against saudi arabia, which... you know ? or whoever else off a long list. they're not doing zero, they're doing "their best", which is what it is.
asciilifeform: i don't see the fear component here
jurov: nubbins`: a) send to yourself, check. b) leave text aempty and attach known good clearsigned stuff as .txt
mircea_popescu: that the enemy starts suddenly firing like mad is not indicative of his strength. for one thing, bullets are scarce. for the other thing, fear is the end of this game.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's approach this in perhaps a more comprehensible set of terms. end of the world situation, you're behind a wall of sand sacks, enemy behind another. you got two guys left with you, was a full regiment at some point. enemy, unknown.
nubbins`: wat! "plain text mode"
nubbins`: i think they're making a movie about him now.
nubbins`: makes the province spend countless tens of thousands
nubbins`: anyway the guy then fires like 5 public defenders, goes on to represent himself
nubbins`: guy escapes out window during a shift change and hitchhikes back to town undetected.
nubbins`: he shoots at robot, cops try smoke bombs, then thousands of gallons of water from fire hoses (!!!)
mircea_popescu: just like the cataphract is a logical step to the escalation of ... THE END OF FEUDALISM!
asciilifeform: used to be they'd politely ask you to come to the station
asciilifeform: the robot is a logical step to the escalation of usg police practice
nubbins`: cops, having dealt with (and been embarassed by) the guy in the past, descend
mircea_popescu: we discussed some time ago the problem with decimation, re shot cops.
nubbins`: there's this famous guy here, leo crockwell. put a gun to his sister's head a few years ago
mircea_popescu: it sends exactly the opposite message.
nubbins`: ehh they used the robot because enough of the cops were scared enough
mircea_popescu: the notion that "sucidal resistence" is deterring anyone has had so much debunking recently...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: really it is done to make the idea of meaningful (as opposed to merely suicidal; so they hose off the pavement & everybody goes back to work) resistance less and less thinkable
jurov: ;;later tell nubbins` key added
mircea_popescu: note how it follows quite exactly the cure blueprint discussed above.
trinque: yes exactly that
mircea_popescu: trinque honestly, this is why i believe the arming of police units with military stock is even done. it makes sense from a "after the end" perspective : you want two mostly balanced forces, because that's your best chance at more or less peaceful stability.
mircea_popescu: the stripping is something we agreed aforehand to do just to see what her reaction is ?
mircea_popescu: so, i am a famously grandiose master of women. and a junior girl aspiring one day to the grandiose status of being my slave goes with me and some of the girls to the opera. lights go off, the girls take off their tops all matter-of-course like. she follows suit. why ? and then, afterwards, we discuss it over coffee and cookies. they are enamoured with it. so is she. why ? her "tabs" haven't been leaked, right ? what if
trinque: not sure what happens after that
trinque: what admittedly worries me is an event where the military side detaches from the braindead side entirely
trinque: seems the whole military side can't be considered in absence of the side which can't form one coherent thought
asciilifeform: nubbins`: that's because u-boot sets it a'blinking by default
nubbins`: but that's what a bricked pogo does as well
trinque: not trying to derail what's an excellent convo without me; is for example the ease with which us politicians are bought by *any* paying interest relevant here?
nubbins`: what's the LED gonna do for two weeks while the thing downloads and indexes blocks? 8)
asciilifeform: there is not a public display of this. ergo 'pwner' did not see it fit to do this.
mircea_popescu: but this strawman is in no case how it'd work is it.
asciilifeform: let's say herr buffet's winblows machine, where he keeps tabs with his lizard commander, was owned.
asciilifeform: but some with better grounding than others
mircea_popescu: but not this ?
asciilifeform: well admittedly, i suspect many things
mircea_popescu: the fact that you don't is perhaps one of the most perplexing characteristics of your otherwise amply perplexing persona.
asciilifeform: if it didn't in the same sense of 'didn't' as elsewhere in usg, i would know
mircea_popescu: the german public didn't know about the enigma leaks.
asciilifeform: it 'works' for them in the sense that no nsa-crypto directorate leaks. no meaningful cia leaks. perhaps they use 'underwood' typewriters instead of microshit ?
mircea_popescu: and yet... what can they do ?
mircea_popescu: and they go to work... and there it is. MICROSOFT BOOTING NAO.
mircea_popescu: and i can send them pizza, and they have to wonder how i know.
mircea_popescu: what can any one do to fix this ?
mircea_popescu: take a simple thing : they all know ms is shit.
mircea_popescu: what can they do ?
mircea_popescu: they know they suck, now.
mircea_popescu: what does their knowledge matter ?
asciilifeform: in the way that gorby didn't
asciilifeform: the buggers know that 'it'll be their necks'
asciilifeform: nobody is playing that role for usg
mircea_popescu: but that aside, it all boils down to the ancient (here and iirc on trilema too) "what's the devil have to pay you to love him" thing. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this amused the russian to no end.
mircea_popescu: trying to finesse himself into a senior adviser role for gorby
mircea_popescu: if anyone is curious enough, please to read the gorbachev diaries after his 87 visit in romania.
asciilifeform: trinque: judging by the results
asciilifeform: trinque: the 'militia' thing is solid usg provocateurism from day one
mircea_popescu: trinque no particular kind of thing.
trinque: that kind of thing?
trinque: mircea_popescu: there are militia groups around calling themselves "three percenters"
asciilifeform: rock solid support from the cattle
