nubbins`: asciilifeform so
the cocaine sold in usa would now have
to be 30-40% pure instead of 20%?
mircea_popescu: "So far,
the arguments against it seem
to have been "major numebr
assbot: Logged on 23-02-2015 13:00:01; punkman: "
the numbers renouncing U.S. citizenship jumped 14%
to a new record last year. While
the official number is “only” 3,400,
that number is apparently understated, and surveys suggest
the number who may follow suit is in
the millions."
mircea_popescu: PeterL fortunately body's smarter
than you, won't
take.
mircea_popescu: such as i dunno, a bush an enemy pissed on sometime
this week
PeterL: creating immune response
to small molecules would be hard
to controll, you would just end up allergic
to everything
mircea_popescu: how often would you say an us army / marine / etc fights within visual range of anything
that'd even remotely qualify as an enemy ?
mircea_popescu: punkman: I
thought
the principle was
to
trigger immune response against cocaine molecule, not reward centre <<< you don't understand how immune works! you can only
target particular proteins, which coke is not.
thestringpuller: nubbins`: 22yo college grad, now
there's a
thing you see less and less <<
took me 7 years
to get
through GATech. Failed Calculus like 9
times.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
traditional ru draft << plenty of derppathologies << yes. but
they're pathologies rather
than
the fucking core.
nubbins`: well, looking like a slob was a lot less acceptable in
the 50s-60s
too
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly, you could make some pretty epic uniforms for
the drone flying division
nubbins`: double-button jacket w/ gold
trim on
the cuffs
mircea_popescu: nubbins` what's
that like, elk horn hat, maple syrup pants ?
mircea_popescu: all
the kids
that were 10
then musta noticed
the flurry of panties
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well,
that was calculated. what happened in 1945-49 ?
mircea_popescu: they're not even allowing
those wisconsin and indiana poofters in.
mircea_popescu: mike_c apparently reading comprehension on
the downtrend huh ?
mircea_popescu: aww,
they missed out on
the obvious neuroticism ? "be all you can be. and more." ???
mircea_popescu: "army'll make men out of you. dead or alive -
that's up
to you."
mircea_popescu: imagine, you sign up for
the military, you get
the guarantee
that you'll be pushing shit uphill for a coupla decades,
then when you're fortysomething you get a farm and an ethnic bride.
mike_c: he said when you conquer,
the prince has got
to go live
there
to make
the locals happy. and it sounds right
to me.
mircea_popescu: hey, i wouldn't have any problem living with
these dudes.
mike_c: machiavelli would say
that obama should go live
there awhile.
mircea_popescu: the ONLY way i'd have
them fighting overseas is if congress approves
this plan whereby a) all
territory we step on gets granted
territory status ; b) soldiers once veteranized are rewarded in homesteads
there, and HAVE
TO marry local
☟︎ nubbins`: i'm
talking about
the "you"
that doesn't exist, but in
this alternate world where you'd be ostensibly an american in charge of american
troops
nubbins`: mircea_popescu you most certainly wouldn't. you'd have
them fighting overseas!
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i meant "resources" as in warcraft2. whatever, vespene gas and
the othe rone
Adlai: "paint rocks." <<
there's
this idf saying: "if it moves, salute it; if it doesn't, pick it up; if you can't, paint it"
mircea_popescu: but i
think it's
the one derived from old warcraft 2, except you get a single hero and no "resources" per se, get wood/gold
to level
them by killing npcs
nubbins`: you
think if
the american military suddenly is awash in bodies,
they won't start sending
them places for
the sake of doing it?
nubbins`: once everyone's in
the military,
they gotta /do something/ with all
these soldiers!
mircea_popescu: nubbins` 9 months with gunnery sargeant hartman, on
the understanding
that if you fail you get your balls chopped off and spend
the rest of your life =
the next few years chained
to a wall in a brothel for arab fags.
nubbins`: a universal draft would fix
the west?
mircea_popescu: i don't believe it's a bad idea. if shiva
tasked me with fixing west, it's one of
the first
things i'd do.
nubbins`: upside of
this is
that every korean male, at least ostensibly, earned a blackbelt in
taekwondo
nubbins`: second-best korea still has
this, btw
nubbins`: a lot can happen in 6 months in
the armed forces
mircea_popescu: nubbins` let me put it
this way : romania had mandatory universal male draft.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> cuz you liked
teh woman, foo. << i see
this coming
nubbins`: i'm not sure what romania was like in
the late 70s but i feel like
the average age of post-secondary graduation directly correlates
to how soft
things are in
that place
mircea_popescu: everyone
thought
this is werdly late, but fucken intellectuals, nutty.
mircea_popescu: anyway, my dad was 23 (army). and nofcuking body
thought
this is young.
mircea_popescu: it was fucking shameful
then
to not have a degree by 22.
nubbins`: ^ why not just be honest
to yourself ;/
nubbins`: "i'm
taking a year
to find myself"
nubbins`: 22yo college grad, now
there's a
thing you see less and less
mircea_popescu: you know back before
the world went nuts, my mother was in
the maternity ward about
to deliver me, as a 22 yo college grad.
nubbins`: better middle lane
than middling pain
nubbins`: dota 5? /me cuts off dick,
throws in
trash
nubbins`: this
TLP blog is fun
to read but i feel like reading it makes me feel like i understand
things better
than i actually do

to a new record last year. While

the millions."// its very simply a new sort of 'wall'
punkman: "Because
the people have spoken, and while most of it was complete gibberish, numbers don't lie. People preferred 4.0, and 4.0 it shall be. Unless somebody can come up with a good argument against it."

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mats> 5:44:43 <+punkman> asciilifeform: ditto for
the opiate 'vaccine' << from what I've read on
the internets, suboxone is not such a bad
thing << Suboxone is not vaccine, merely partial agonist, does not
trigger immune response
mats: and from all reports it seems
thats preferable
to beating withdrawal
punkman: mats, is it any better
than methadone?
punkman: (also nothing
to do with vaccine)
