cazalla: an anecdote from living where no-one knows me.. you don'
t have to contend with people you know who want to stop and chat, i like it that way
ag3nt_zer0: cazalla yes I reckon i could... i have allowed myself to develop a complex I guess - used to say I want to go somewhere where I don'
t understand the language at all and where no one knows my name, so as not to be reminded or dragged back into the language muck and the friendship (we know who you are) imprisonment complex - so the logos can come in again
mircea_popescu: also complains that some other time the first mile fee wasn'
t "rounded down". one peso is, again, like six cents.
cazalla: ag3nt_zer0, can'
t you do almost all of that at home
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu I am employed as a substitute in 2 other local districts so for the time being I will continue to do that - I guess keeping my mouth shut a bit more - just trying to save some money get out of this fallen intellectual hellhole for a bit... I know it's everywhere, but not nearly as bad as here I don'
t think - I just want to travel 2 yrs and record music and play music, read poetry and literature and engage i
cazalla: BingoBoingo, apparently that isn'
t him, just some dude called eggman they are trolling cnn with
jurov: people with working idiot killing instinct don'
t code
mircea_popescu: <jurov> sane people either don'
t give a fuck or avoid engaging idiots <<< loser people. the lack of an idiot killing instinct is a larger character flaw than stupidity could ever be.
ag3nt_zer0: how could I have been so naive to have dedicated my time and energy to an ideal instead of just saying it was fucked, declaring it fucked like I knew it was, etc... I couldn'
t. At the base of my soul seemed to be choosing to "care" or "not care" way back when I decided against oblivian as a mentality... but, and I guess you guys know, it's so fucked
jurov: sane people either don'
t give a fuck or avoid engaging idiots
mircea_popescu: well they don'
t need any gremlins to make their tits sag.
mircea_popescu: it's an accident they even manage to meet. if it weren'
t fixed by tradition they gotta groan in the swamps of washington they'd prolly take two decades to get the damned senate in session.
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: i am, btw, at a loss as to why that box isn'
t responding.
ascii_field: '...The Secretary of the Authors' Union / Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee / Which said that the people / Had forfeited the government's confidence / ... ... / Wouldn'
t it Be simpler in that case if the government / Dissolved the people and / Elected another?' (tm) (r) (brecht)
mircea_popescu: maybe, at age 16, you imagine this is an idea. otherwise, it isn'
t. it's much better to have at least a few dozen dudes you can go drinking with.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you're a woman << LOL. well played. I just don'
t want to deal with the whole process of baby-momma birthing child from my end.
mircea_popescu: these aren'
t the same thing. rarely the same person, too.
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> I couldn'
t deal with the anxiety related to pregnancy and child birth. << you're a woman ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c i could but meh. i know you like it, but i can'
t stand the post 1980 ny.
mike_c: bitmain.. isn'
t that the antminer guys?
thestringpuller: I couldn'
t deal with the anxiety related to pregnancy and child birth.
pete_dushenski: mike_c i could survive a trip to nyc, couldn'
t be worst than my last. closer too.
mircea_popescu can'
t believe that he just had a discussion about the statistics of childbirth with a woman that has kids and is otherwise a statistician and survived untussled.
mircea_popescu: wasn'
t the guy retired because lyf treats or something ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, iirc plenty of hospitals won'
t even consider it, because the cost/effort of emergency c section is too high
diana_coman: it didn'
t use to be the practice/allowed so kind of hard to tell (as far as I know in Romania for instance you'd still be directly set up for a c-section) so kind of biased numbers as to what the body can/cannot
mircea_popescu: diana_coman generally you can'
t deliver normally after one.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> pete_dushenski it doesn'
t heal as in, restore function <- uhm, what do you mean?
pete_dushenski: the victims can'
t lift a teacup for several weeks, limited to one flight of stairs per day, etc.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it doesn'
t heal as in, restore function. but it does heal in the sense, you won'tfucking die from it.
assbot: Logged on 01-10-2015 14:13:22; diana_coman: well, it was post emergency cesarian, so I thought that might hurt (turned out that I didn'
t need it hence chucked it away but...)
assbot: Logged on 01-10-2015 13:55:17; pete_dushenski: Julia Cordray and Nicole McCullough, ftr, you both suck. that you've raised $350k is a testament to the problem of too much money, not the worth of your unoriginal ideas. don'
t quit your dayjobs and/or give your rich husband's feet a big smooch when you get home.
assbot: Logged on 01-10-2015 13:51:19; pete_dushenski: "Can I start someone else's profile? Yes. You will need their cell phone number to start their profile and they will receive a text that you were the person to start their profile and that they should check out what you said about them on our app." << surely, this can'
t be gamed! it's 100% certified fresh dummyproof!
mircea_popescu: or alternatively, like it wouldn'
t make for a great fucking story, "and then i said hey if i weren'
t leaving for this uberimportant reason i'd totally marry you while coming all over him, and then he said the hell with reason, marry me, and that's when i said yes"
mircea_popescu: ya know ? if i weren'
t typing right now i'd be sipping on my cooler.
mircea_popescu: like right now i'm typing. and im telling you im typing, in case you didn'
t know. maybe you were curious.
diana_coman: well, it was post emergency cesarian, so I thought that might hurt (turned out that I didn'

Interesting semi-related factoid. de Gaulle when he gave his famous (in Canada) speech "vive le Quebec! vive le Quebec LIBRE!" and the camera cuts to uproariously jubilant crowd, that's an edit by a separatiste
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2014 07:45:49; mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: it's completely wild to see how much the bitcoin network hashrate fluctuates. << you understand those aren'
t directly measured, but more like calculated after the fact ? it's normal variance, you're trying to guess how many times a coin is tossed by how many heads you see. well...
mircea_popescu had a nasal endoscopy recently, doc wanted to give me lidocaine for it, i didn'
t want it, he was like, "i don'
t understand why anyone would want to be unable to speak/chew and drool all over themselves for three hours to avoid the minimal disconfort of a half minute procedure, but you're the first one to turn it down in so long i forget"
mircea_popescu: (and the disruption eulora brings to the table doesn'
t end here, incidentally. the above requirements as to change are why while i'm in generall all for open source, i will never share the fucking server code. it's not just that easy copying of the "exam rule book" so to speak makes the exam unworthy of taking, and therefore the game more boring. it's more importantly that i have to conserve for myself the space of mov
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t a definitive fixed form eulora that is the answer to a putative "eulora problem". there's going to permanently be changes to it, known in the parlance as "expansions".
mircea_popescu: so 1) eulora is a computer game. this makes it software, yes, but because it is not actually trying to solve a problem/set of problems but to CREATE a set of problems (which is the very nature of games, after all - the people running 100m aren'
t in a hurry and the people doing relay aren'
t actually you know, passing important messages in that stick or w/e, it's just makework for the enjoyment of the process) it has to
davout: I wouldn'
t be surprised if it actually tasted like hair from ya balls
mircea_popescu: eh bs, current democratic party freed no one, also didn'
t exist.
mircea_popescu: people in africa don'
t have any jizz, what do you say to that!
cazalla: i can'
t say i've ever had the idea
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> o wait... i wasn;
t going to anyway ? mmkay, carry on! << You would be missing little
cazalla: you know i can'
t read that, least not without le google
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Best part in my digging is that people held in 'civil" or normal contempt of court don'
t have to be listed as inmates, and aren'
t on the federal level
mircea_popescu: as proven by the fact that when i take a nude chick out, whether i fuck her or not, other dudes (the few who don'
t try to ignore) MIGHT try to photograph but sure as well won'
t try to fuck her too.
mircea_popescu: wait... you won'
t... piss ?! as the anonymous guy said to the great tom green, "you should look into that. that could turn into a debilitating condition."
cazalla: and i won'
t even shit/piss in a public toilet let alone fuck
cazalla: mircea_popescu, doesn'
t everyone?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you familiar with the fact that if one is starved for long enough, eventually one appears alive and can move but WILL die of starvation and can'
t eat ?
mircea_popescu: but a) those are limited ; b) muscular activity doesn'
t magically turn oxalate-whatever into glucose and water ; c) in plenty of cases the fixed requirements of muscles actually further deplete already depleted stores of various nutrients.
mircea_popescu: but not giving scooters to fat people won'
t help them be less fat.
BingoBoingo: The hamplanet problem isn'
t helped by calorie depots offering scooty puffs so a planet need only walk from their car into the store, to restock on calories
mircea_popescu: the reason that fat doesn'
t go away is that the liver knows what's in it, and doesn'
t feel itself equal to the task of opening that nuclear casket.
mircea_popescu: anywya, to get back to the original thing. there are two components to being a hamplanet. one is the heavy calorie intake in a very poorly balance diet. lacking sufficient long tail nutrients, the body finds itself stuck and unable to handle the food intake, much like a builder that gets fifty barges of bricks but no mortar, no rebar, no nothing can'
t really make houses, just brickpiles.
mircea_popescu: (pisses them the shit off, the "even more for a woman" part. i got some reasonable biceps, nothing athletic, just, healthy male human sort of thing. and well... woman can'
t get it. six months later, gained 1/4 inch, i never work out, cue the ragenvy)
mircea_popescu: i actually don'
t let teh womenz lift lest they get too big.
cazalla: muscle turns to fat is right in line with women don'
t wanna lift because they'll get too big, least is my experience hearing similar stories from people
mircea_popescu: because if you aren'
t going to actually use these forever, shut up and sit down.
midnightmagic: And unfortunately, once you get the attention of an educated couple of families with nothing better to do with its time in the far north than make a hobby out of reading lawbooks, it didn'
t stop with the court case.
midnightmagic: The contract they were trying to sue us under was held invalid by the British Columbia Court of Appeals because they didn'
t have the right to lease the premises of an unabandoned railway depot for other purposes.
☟︎ midnightmagic: Ah. That was a statement I *would* use to deny seditionist conspiracy charges because I don'
t want to leave here, but would direly hate to find some enterprising law enforcement investigator pinning a false narrative on me because by not speaking, it could be argued I am tacitly agreeing and/or sympathetic to it, which would in my view be enough to pin conspiracy on me.
midnightmagic: Oh. Okay. That might take a while longer. History texts usually don'
t include the last few decades.
midnightmagic: It's not revisionism: historical documents and eyewitnesses were pretty clear on it. Additionally, the footage doesn'
t match.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: The Fils de Liberte were likely guilty of it. I don'
t know if they were actually charged. Yes, a pile of people have been charged, and convicted, of sedition in Canada.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ah. you did yeah but actually lots of other ppl did too. eventually i was like... lazy won'
t solvethis one. << /me pretty sure he suggested letting the number of English articles catch up as a solution
mircea_popescu: ah. you did yeah but actually lots of other ppl did too. eventually i was like... lazy won'
t solvethis one.
BingoBoingo: And Bernie Sanders is just on a field trip from the "Memory Care" home (because Old Folks Home isn'

cazalla: BingoBoingo, aren'
