mircea_popescu: are we talking of the same obese cops ? the same sloppy idiots who can'
t get their own paper work in order 50% of the time so pretty much everything that goes to a judge gets thrown out ?
assbot: Logged on 19-10-2015 16:35:18; mircea_popescu: the question is, why don'
t the prisoners kill some cops ?
mircea_popescu: 20yo chicks mostly go to the gym to take sweatpants selfies for facebook, don'
t they.
mircea_popescu: and didn'
t even ask for the receipt. which is good, as he hadn'
t given me one.
mircea_popescu: i bought it first. then it didn'
t work, so i returned it. lol.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between "i could read the code but i'm lazy" and "you can'
t read the code" also.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: but tax collector doesn'
t have own branch office
☟︎ ascii_field: be the main factor. Germans could see it the post, Americans couldn'
t.'
mircea_popescu: you can'
t actually pay your taxes in cash. so cash is not actually legal tender. so why bother ?
pete_dushenski: usgavin wouldn'
t suffer any from hosting fillies in mehico for a private concert, meet + greet (+bang) like these kids
davout: and the 404 wasn'
t obvious using curl
punkman: davout: you need the whole bundle, can'
t verify individual deeds
mircea_popescu: <punkman> although I don'
t see how online makes sense << i expect they expect you to amazon the bottles.
punkman: although I don'
t see how online makes sense
shinohai: There weren'
t any "wine appreciation classes" that I could find, but hey sommeliers know wine.
shinohai: Mine certainly didn'
t force me to go. My grandparents pushed me more than my parents did.
wyrdmantis: yeah, it's not a real, school, it's a course... like a master. Maybe you don'
t know that i'm in italy... we have courses for everything
Duffer1: ah didn'
t realize there was a last time
BingoBoingo: For those who aren'
t familiar Frist was the "hero" of the US Capital shooting where he saved the shooter, but not the other people who were shot.
PeterL: I find it interesting Bitbet still has both Bush and Rubio favored as winning the nomination. They can'
t both win.
mircea_popescu: but yes, it's reasonably persuasive. the west is broken because "the women". specifically, because the women would like to help and the men can'
t be helped by them.
mircea_popescu: "Girlfriends are another. Girlfriends say: I pretend to believe you when you say you know kung fu, because I love you. The boyfriend says, not hearing anything she said: I'll stay with you until either I know kung fu; or you realize I don'
t really know kung fu, and my shame makes me hate you. What does it matter? None of this is the real thing anyway."
mircea_popescu: I have spent the last ten years of my life putting a normal-sized American family in crackerboxes and apartments, living with roommates, not going on vacation, cooking and buying secondhand and making do and doing all the rest of the normal things that normal people used to understand you had to do if you couldn'
t afford to do different."
mircea_popescu: "look honey, you're the size of a cow. and i don'
t mean the cow's udder. i mean the whole enchicowada."
assbot: Hey, stupid women ? We need to talk. Smart women don'
t want to be with you anymore. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

mircea_popescu: They were completely fabricating incidents in order to make it look like I not only belonged there, but needed to be there quite a bit longer. Of course, every report ended with them swooping in to save the day and resolve things in-house. For those that don'
t see why they'd do such a thing, most (yes, sadly it's most) foster parents do it for the MONEY. I ended up staying in 3 different homes. #1) I slept in a storage
mircea_popescu: When I was 15-17 I was in DCFS custody for (honestly) "insubordinance". Don'
t ever underestimate the power of a sociopathic mom and a corrupt juvenile system. Eventually I found myself placed in a foster home under the pretext that I'd be on my way back home as soon as I "straightened up" and flew right. Among the many dozens of pathetic failings of the system I was now privy to, this post reminded me of one in particu
mircea_popescu: the solution is retarded in that it doesn'
t solute anything, but the MECHANISM is in fact exposed.
mircea_popescu: "I feel like I am playing a part, that I'm in a role. It doesn'
t feel real."
mircea_popescu: is anything that doesn'
t admit a technological approach (such as say, random number generation) obscurantist claptrap ?
mircea_popescu: "i fear not my own death for when it is, i am no longer, and while i am, it isn'
t."
mircea_popescu: we kinda don'
t laugh when the only result of the stupid brain is more stupid.
mircea_popescu: also happens to be how various nuts end up at the doctor. "what i do doesn'
t work" "don'
t do that" "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!??!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with diseased mental states is not that they don'
t have their own, often very well drawn out, self-consistent "logic".
mircea_popescu: here's the thing : at the time the sale completed you didn'
t know who is pulling the dud. they thought they got equal value.
mircea_popescu: or moreover, perhaps, but i don'
t think you have the right idea.
HeySteve: pete_dushenski well I agree, it has made things clearer. helps me when approaching people who won'
t speak their mind, knowing how they will might it.
HeySteve: so you can say if damages or dirtiness occur and tenant loses fair cost to fix that, or landlord is trying to pull a fast one and doesn'
t get to keep deposit
mircea_popescu: what do you do when the landlord and the tenant each upload a video and they don'
t even look like they come from the same place ?
HeySteve: but I wouldn'
t recommend it as a carry trade destination
mircea_popescu: so let me get this straight, you want to give people too poor to litigate, too stupid / desocialized to talk to the landlord and too scared to act the option "you can either pay 100 to the landlord as deposit or 300 to me and unlike the landlord I PROMISE to give it back (maybe), except im not anywhere near you and you can'
t burn my house down" ?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: just cuz they legalised weed doesn'
t mean anyone wants to live there
HeySteve:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-10-2015#1301624 << there's nothing outside the paper rental contract at the end of the day. but i guess i'm still about foggy about what 'this' is < haven'
t reached clarity yet myself but this discussion is helping a lot. basically a multiple of the rental deposit normally paid to the landlord gets escrowed in cryptocurrency.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: yeah. evne if you don'
t have a crt, 6300k is better than 9
HeySteve: well maybe for marijuana growers but I mean just regular 60W bulbs, shouldn'
t be more than $5 here
mircea_popescu: well, if you don'
t know where it goes maybe it's legitimate ? maybe they actually spend ~1.1k after each tenant leaves, on average.
HeySteve: I don'
t know where the money goes but they are raking in all these deposits
mircea_popescu: so you're saying a tenant taking a property with a market value of 120k for a year at the usual ~10% ie 1k a month is being gypped for the fabulous sum of 60 bux ? this can'
t quite be right can it ?
mircea_popescu: not really. you're offering them the opportunity to push up your venture for free on their own influence/dime. which they won'
t take - if they were the sort of derp to fall for that they'd be on reddit complaining about how they have no money and the landlord's scamming them.
mircea_popescu: seems dubious landlords compete for passive-agressive tenants with no options. they do compete for rich tenants, but you don'
t have a value proposition for those guys.
mircea_popescu: and the dispute isn'
t whether "You have them" or not, the dispute is whether you are one. because that's fundamentally what you're trying to do here, redistribute resources "for fairness" is how the government calls it, but you're neither a government nor have the option to be come one. at the level where you go into business, the thing is not a government but a gang.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve the point is there's a big demand for such a service << yes, but the demand is from people who aren'
t willing to take any steps to enforce it. and it's for you to magically oppress property holders on their behalf. this isn'
t how property works, the fact that the landlords hold that property "free and clear" specifically means that they are immune from a guy named heysteve and his plans for the future. this is

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300279 << so a) you'll spend your life driving between bickering nuts. this is a worse deal than what psychs get, at least there you gotta drive to his office. ; b) the blockchain and everything else is entirely superfluous here. your entire idea is "hey, make me the mp of renting in south africa". maybe they will or maybe they won'

assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 13:19:58; mircea_popescu: and if he doesn'
t, well, twice the deposit worth of damage + whatever it costs him to break in should be just about fair.
HeySteve:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300458 < it's true that tenants can threaten to withhold keys and/or trash the place but if this was common practice then this type of deposit fraud wouldn'
t be such a widespread problem. what many tenants do is refuse to pay the last month's rent but this is only viable if the deposit is set at 1x month's rent. many places it's at 2x or
☝︎ mircea_popescu: sure, it can be good, but it leaves you with some things you don'
t know what to do with
mircea_popescu: once you buy into the theory that "the state isn'
t the CAUSE of criminality but the protection from it", you'll necessarily swallow the "science is the path to knowledge" string all the way into "paradigm good".
mircea_popescu: he just understands some stuff exceptionally well, but it didn'
t seem to have percolated through.
assbot: Logged on 18-10-2015 01:21:28; mircea_popescu: "the end which is so obvious and predictable but at the same time the only one that would speak to this generation of narcissists: when we need a hero, heroes are obligated to rise up and serve, but please have the decency to die afterwards so we can go back to second guessing the ethics of your actions. " >> and when "we" need a monkey that knows how to push the levers one has the moral obligation
t mircea_popescu: We got a brief moment of the possibility of 1980s style black and white American might with George Bush after 9/11, when half the country went, "hell yeah, let's go kick some ass!" and the other half went, "wait a second, don'
t you guys know we suck?" That being the full extent of our national dialogue. You see the results.
mircea_popescu: Well, the possibilities never came true, so heroes can all go to hell. And God, too, while we're at it, he didn'
t deliver either.
mircea_popescu: ided of course he doesn'
t expect and in any case doesn'
t get any actual power over the derps through this.
mircea_popescu: but seriously, the libtards/hipsers actually need " People aren'
t seeing Eastwood play Walt; they are seeing The Man With No Name now aged 70 and living alone, still clinging to his horse, I mean gun, I mean car. That's the guy they want to see "grow," that's the guy they want to see admit he was wrong. " ?
mircea_popescu: "She can'
t understand why the ideal isn'
t the same as the average. So she wants to create reasons why the average is the ideal. " <<< Elizabeth Cashdan, woman in science.
ben_vulpes: a yeah well apple machines don'
t really come with anything
mircea_popescu: you don'
t even have to boither with anything, keeps its own logs, they get awked and gnuplot.
mircea_popescu: it's ten minutes to set up and ten minutes of use to make itself indispensable. the chick can code, i don'
t remember a tool becoming THIS FUCKING NEEDED in recent times.
mod6: ben_vulpes: yeah, i couldn'
t imagine trying to do the same with a tablet or something. but i like the desktops that I have at home for stuff too.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just because he's richer than you doesn'
t automatically make him not poor you know :D
mod6: lol, we didn'
t see one, just a lot of books that probably never get read.
mod6: naw. didn'
t say much to her. just let her dance on me.
mircea_popescu: also, my nirvana inducing anal pole doesn'
t have to work
ben_vulpes: yes, crack propagation under vibratory load is a thing, but shouldn'
t this shit be deforming instead of chipping?
mircea_popescu: ALUMINUM DOESN'
T CHIP << yes it does ben_vulpes ; poorly formulated aluminium's major problem is chipping. that's why it wasn'
t used in airframe fabrication from the get-go.
pete_dushenski: this might seem like a loss for the lonely business traveler, but until hyatt offers 'safe' internet with the 5 'safest' websites and those alone, i wouldn'
t worry about it too much
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_> <-- perhaps you'd also like to have girlfriends, but never see or fuck them << you don'
t understand what the internets is for, or what the mobile revolution all about.
mircea_popescu: how about "i don'
t feel like wasting any of the women i can stand enough to fuck on this fool's errand" ?
gabrielradio: so i for one don'
t find that many drawbacks to parenthood
mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t raise them myself anyway, what do they have mothers for ?
mircea_popescu: yet another reason i don'
t feel inclined to procreate : i don'
t actually know of a group for whose sake i'd be willing to lie to eventual daughters.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the point : unless you actually spend the inordinate amount of effort and make-believe into getting boys appear (to themselves, and to others) actually worth the effort, they won'
t be. and from there on the whole shebang unravels.
mircea_popescu: not for all of them, but you don'
t need to, and it doesn'
t work reliably either, but you don'
t need it to, either.
mircea_popescu: e girls. So the problem isn'
t simply that boys mature slower than girls, it is that they are required to perform the same exact skills at the same exact time. Any surprise boys hate school more, "ADHD" is more prevalent, etc? And there is more anxiety and thus pressure about the potential ineptitude of sons than daughters.
