mircea_popescu: did some countwork at some point irrc. lotta "kitten" (spoiler : generally fatties), lotta stuff like
that.
mircea_popescu: (the first
time around, decade or so prior,
turkey ss guy intercepted me. like on
the street. asked if i'm from
the us, i said romania, he said no fucking way, what are you selling me here. was pretty lulzy.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's
testament
to my famous capacity of fitting in -- comes from
the fact i use as main profile pic a shot hanbot
took in
turkey, where i was being INCREDIBLY fucking fit-in.
mircea_popescu: lol nope. i said goats are cute but not
to
the point of fucking one.
mircea_popescu: or,
to quote from fetgirl, "mistey25 19F Switch Also an intelegence
test? What makes you
think you have what it
takes
to judge if someone is smart or not.
There’s a quote from Albert Einstein “if you judge a fish by its ability
to climb a
tree it will live its whole life believing it’s an idiot”. And you’re judging me based off of
things you’re pulling out of your ass. Why don’t I give you a bit of judgement. Yo
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is an eastern power, what can i
tell you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oars are not merely painful, but also
train biceps. mp is not so keep in bicep-y slavegirls,
THEREFORE has not oars.
mircea_popescu: (and, for completeness & rounding off [kek kek] of
the "dating" reference yesterday :
the ~other~ locus of man, other
than "doing very well on a date", is sitting on a couch [of power] and pointing at which fancy fanciula he intends
to sozomize next. just sayin'.)
mircea_popescu: there's
two solutions
to "x is painful" : a) make x', just-like-x-but-not-painful ; and b) use it in
training, where pain is both desirable, useful and necessary.
mircea_popescu: i mean, if it ~speaks~ it, it could be cooler in
the intended market ; but honestly speaking is inferior
tech
to reading.
Mocky: electric, what,
to pull itself out of your pocket?
mircea_popescu: pretty cool item, if i do say so myself.
the face of all
the people who've since got one... worth erry penny.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo are
these
tynisha ysais relatives ? any bits missing ?
Mocky: I had
the most vivid dream last night
that I met mp and hanbot. I shook mp's hand and
then I
turned and shook hanbot's hand and when I
turned back mp was gone but left me a note with his signature and "kek"
then I
turned and habot was gone
too

to break doors, gates; one
to
threaten bystanders, if any, with 'accidental' fire; one
to shoot; and perhaps one with a cage
that arrestee -might- be permitted
to surrender into, if
the bot's voice-recognition system works and if orders included a possible live capture
mircea_popescu: maybe until
the unionized cops who still know how
to work a lock-and-key last, who knows.

the handcuffs are now zip
ties.
mircea_popescu: if i had
to
take a blind wager, it'd be ye olde "information differential" -- jp knew and usg didn't.
mircea_popescu: remember
the famous
tito-stalin "leave yugo alone" exhange ? keks.
a111: Logged on 2015-01-30 05:51 mircea_popescu: which is why i am not ever giving it up.
the freedom
to
threaten is not merely my fundamental, unassailable sovereign property, but moreover essential for
the construction of effectual instruments
to squash
the socialists and
their golums.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, you own
this-and-so company
that got specific safe harbour /legal extemption/ whatever precisely fitting "berth" definition item from x/y/z posturer
to authority". "yes, i did ; and i can,
too. but it is a) not ever obtained
through
the avenue here contemplated and, importantly, MUCH more importantly, b) a dodge. it is strictly
there
to mask from
the dangerous
the fundamental state of affairs."
mircea_popescu: now
then : all
these fantasies, "i'll worship so purely i'll never die", "i'll get a paycheck so huge i won't have
to go on dates anymore", "i'll be
that kurchatov" rely on something specific :
there's gotta be a stalin.
there's no stalin of long living, nor is
there a stalin of rooseveltian socialism --
the
thing's built ~specifically~ (and ~purposefully~, deliberately) as a "stalinism without any stalin".
mircea_popescu: well yes.
the socialist
trade is always a case of "substitute vinyl siding for brick wall".

the gulag folx chalked it up
to 'lack of vodka' for
the most part
tho )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the reason
there were
three religions in
the mediteranean was
that specifically all
three delivered
this.
mircea_popescu: as rational inquiry divorced longevity from religiosity,
the claim lost its meaning, but it is ever present in strangeola like "smoking is a sin".
mircea_popescu: as
the life habits [they stole from "those pagans"
the stoics] promoted longevity, it was a
trivial observation (for
they inclined
to observe, of course)
that xtians ~live longer~
than non-xtians.
THIS was
the substance of
the entirety of
the supernatural claim, for a
thousand years or so, and yes,
to
the orc mind it makes sense
that
the bearded dood in
the sky who makes
these weirdos die 70s not 50s perhaps has more of
the s
mircea_popescu: the (batshit insane, in modern
terminology) claim of
the xtians
that
their fsb controls "life everlasting" was ~meaningful~ in
times past, and built out of
the following articulation of logic :
mircea_popescu: for as long starvation / being eaten alive by wild animals while very fucking cold is not on
the
table, little slut rosa has other shit
to attend
to ; outside of deliberate and constructed exclusion of
the stupid poor from
the workings of society,
the stupid poor have no incentive
to respect same. and so on.
mircea_popescu: yes, it was an extremely popular delusion in
the 90s even, which is
to say "within living memory", hence "entrepreneurial culture" and all
that wank. nevertheless, delusions, howsoever popular (and
therefore osmotically persuasive)
they may get, stay delusions.
mircea_popescu: there ~isn't~ a way
to be good ~at your chosen field~ such
that you're a successful chowdry in incadom.
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's
the (heavily promoted, of course) fantasy of
the "geek" in mainstream ustard culture, "oh, i'll be SO GOOD IN CLASS little slut rosa's defo gonna get wet for me". as cameron diaz well points out : never gonna fucking happen.
mircea_popescu: and no, you can't ressurect a dead argument on
the
tail end of having been hammered into
the ground.
there's nobody alive ;
there's no berths ; you can pursue
this fantasy at a
terrible cost anyway.

to
the extent
the props of
the reich are working physical artifacts, and
they haven't yet descended
to shaking pointed sticks and 'ook ook' sounds,
they're made by somebody. and
that's largely who, folx given -- yes -- some sorta berth.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-07 20:25 asciilifeform: if
they knew how
to do biz ~only~ with one another, and not heathens, i suspect -- would.
mircea_popescu: it does work as a closed system : gotta be

the
tailor who made mircea_popescu's shirt is also not (afaik) in wot yet.
mircea_popescu: i doubt it was anywhere near any biz, seeing how
the warthog withdrawal happened prior.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the warthog got withdrawn. ~for lack of
that fab~.
mircea_popescu: spawn, what. between
tom cruise "accomplishments" and kirsten wiig accomplishments, more or less michael cera.

there's a fab in usa where, believe or not,
they still make 2um classics like cdp1802 for usg. but
