t when it comes to kicking Bingo's ass

t a Soros lottery
mircea_popescu: and the people who know they don'
t read because omfg, that'd be giving in.

t think Mizzou can and survive their non-divisional conference games without sever embarassment. Our big problem is Mauk lost the only recievers who can catch his passes and our elite running back sprained his ankle against Southeast Missouri...
PeterL: I don'
t think a win over a FCS school should count on the record (but a loss should count as 2)
PeterL: My Spartans got ranked #2, and the #1 OSU is looking pretty shaky, I don'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: volunteer corps or whatever the fuck it's called made a lot more sense 20 yeasrs ago, back when kids COULD actually do architecture by hand. at least thye idea that hey, you don'

mircea_popescu: "i sent my piece of fuckmeat to africa - they don'
t know this about her there. yet."
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, "boko haram" simply means - "you suck". it's deliberately named this way, in the same sort of joke vein in which /. was named that way - to get stupid old ladies confused by the metasyntaxis problem. so stop calling it this if you donm'
t actually agree the west is the suck.)

phf: asciilifeform: i didn'
t intentionally skip for the purposes of "чайные ложечки" rhetoric, just talking about how the things are now
mircea_popescu: the eldest didn'
t inherit naught but the tears of the non-elders, and their butthurt.
mircea_popescu: (think of blair's own personal history - "england is great except for 2nd borns" "maybe you get lucky" "what if i don'
