a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 13:47 diana_coman: asciilifeform, I'm not very knowledgeable on reddit but I thought it was something where people asked questions and then their comments were voted up/down ?
mircea_popescu: i have very much noticed they can't talk to girls at all these days, wherein a coupla decades ago couldn't without a coupla shots.
mircea_popescu: i dunno. in other counterexamples, all the finns i know are actually pacified by vodka. all fucking irritable otherwise.
diana_coman: maybe; the other part of it (which I don't know if it's just my sample bias or what) is that in the north drink is a sort of crutch: southerners I know can act crazy without drinking ; northerners...can't ; so when want-to-crazy-need-to-drink
mircea_popescu: "i think they slipped me a mickey"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman in this vein was lulzy thing at lesbian club, chick is "i have no idea why i'm getting so drunk ?!?" "you keep drinking" "what ?! it suddenly hit me like... wtf." "you keep drinking." "what do you mean ?" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: alternatively urban hostility i suppose could be the culprit. there's some trilema pointing out how "this projects dweller dude is taking time out of his time off to fix a bench in the little sandy park in front of his concrete matchbox ; baltimore projects dude would just sit by pole glaring at traffic".
diana_coman: as I said: lack of balance overall really
diana_coman: when he was too little to talk I would just say he's fine, thank you or shrug mainly; now I can let him reply and usually he innocently floors them anyway so win
diana_coman: eh, that was still everywhere; and yeah, I even got approached when with child: he's too cold! he's too hot! why is he /isn't he...
diana_coman: but in any case: I've never seen barfing in the street until I got to the west
diana_coman: not encouraged in public I'd say, as such; fwiw I did not actually drink almost at all while I was in Ro ; possibly because I saw those, who knows
diana_coman: as I said: they were gathering at one's home, women only and...drink
mircea_popescu: man... where the hell was this ? not even in teh viseu have i seen drunk ladies, and those bitches drank.
diana_coman: when males away/snoring/whatever; I should have said not same place+time I guess
mircea_popescu: at the time they still had the draft ; i was dodging it. people were like ... "hey, there's this special military unit, we get whores and liquor delivered by the truck weekly, you gotta come man."
diana_coman: uhm, I've seen rural all-sexes drunk unable to walk
mircea_popescu: diana_coman well i had seen numerous rural middle aged males unable to walk. heck, it was the principal activity in the communism's abandoned factories by 94.
mircea_popescu: prior to that, i think i had seen a drunk woman, in the sense of unable to stand, like twice ? if that. who the fuck drank like the brits, nfi.
mircea_popescu: but perhaps one of the most striking things from my first visit in london, cca 1994, striking enough that i still remember them,
diana_coman: I don't see it
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i expect the reason drunks aren't as bothered by puke as the normal human is that they're so used to it. so a direct link might be that the women that habitually drink aren't nearly as likely to clean it up.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729211 << reddit didn't exist at the time we're discussing in any practical sense above "this obscure website some pedos gathered on to exchange their trading cards". it was something in the vein of metafilter i guess, or else something in the vein of digg, or else you know, one of the first sites making the transition from myspace/tripod/facebook to the latter style reddit/facebook/etcetera. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i hope they give him the chair.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 13:26 asciilifeform: tho i did finally see cops arresting a d00d. seemed as if for: double-parking
diana_coman: well, approximations can make or kill a thing, but otherwise I guess you can call it that then (though by this token I'm not sure one won't be able to approximate almost any online thing to "a reddit")
diana_coman: hm; and does the system rate people/accounts basically? I think that was a crucial part of it like anywhere: if one is useful then one can do as much and what they like; if not,then ...no
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I'm not very knowledgeable on reddit but I thought it was something where people asked questions and then their comments were voted up/down ? ☟︎
diana_coman: I guess the "mechanised" part about Fain could be the automated grading of *people* based on their activity aka the "karma" points that had quite direct implications re what one could do (even whether they could comment at all)
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I wouldn't say Fain was mechanised really, can't quite see how that would fit
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729160 << for perhaps first time in life i have real shoes nao ☝︎☟︎

ben_vulpes: i ~cannot read AHA in caps like that without seeing alf gesture and say it anymore, even this far past c3
trinque: I would not rule out traveling with alf and yelling at things.

asciilifeform: usa is pile of dead horses, long decayed to bone, covered pile of rusty tractors, long fused solid and brown. i point to healthy stallion, mircea_popescu reminds 'it, too, will die, turn to dust'. yes, it will.

asciilifeform: i had nfi
asciilifeform: they aren't extraordinary, diana_coman , i lived first 9y of life with'em

asciilifeform: and no i have no remaining desire to go to wahabistan.
diana_coman: fwiw raw milk can be had even in the uk and no, it's not terribly expensive/commando mission sort of thing; still, I wouldn't list that as some proof of sanity or anything

asciilifeform: actually it was being fixed as i watched

mircea_popescu: i agree with you the anyone has serious problems understanding food, architecture, etcetera. but that's about as far as it goes.
pete_dushenski: speaking of fine artz, wasn't the only privately held da vinci painting about to go up for auction ? 1/15 "legit" works. pre-auction estimate $100mn but i dun see how it doesn't go for twice that.
