BingoBoingo: Anyways, it's about
time
to update
the Political snapshot. Looking like
the Sartori fellow with
the Russian bride worth more
than
this country is going
to so
the "surprising" Great Again win.
BingoBoingo: Every year less people keep
their job, and employment fell 20-30 percent between 2009 and 2015
mircea_popescu: and
treasury more
than happy
to provide
them
the dollars.
mircea_popescu: the dolarization of economies is simply orcs following washington agenda.
they sell dollars
to push
this angle whereby dollar is even remotely something like a reserve currency.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it's a wonder anyone gets
to keep a job for a whole damned year. << Increasingly
they don't
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's
this retard
thing where Uruguay imagine it can have a central bank. Looking at all of
the possible
things it could control it decides
to do inflation as a structural
thing and
try
to keep
the country solvent by chasing
this moving
target
they made.
THE CENTRAL BANK SELLS DOLLARS
TO KEEP USD FROM FALLING VERSUS
THE PESO!!! sort of insanity follows.
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder anyone gets
to keep a job for a whole damned year.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck is
the figuring go, "all
the kids are healthy and fine, spend all
time in school, and as a result every year i'm worth more" ?! more
the fuck what, obviously
there's more and more people who can do his job by virtue of women spawning and fewer and fewer people who need his job done, by virtue of his having been at work.
mircea_popescu: the only situations
that result in
that, plague, war and indiscriminate carnage --
those
they hate.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what
the fuck is
this baked in expectation of "aumento" anyway ? what, schmuck sat an ass a whole year, he expects somehow
though
the magic of planet's powers alligned he is now worth MORE ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman just
tryna help you figure out what's going on. [allowed]
tags should nest correctly etc,
there's some breakage afoot somewhere.
diana_coman: funnily enough you can actually even do
that if absolutely must: inside blockquote
diana_coman: the links are anyway with own style applied, hence yes, nothing
to see if you want
to overwrite
the
theme's style for links
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ugh, you want strong on
top of link? wtf
diana_coman: I can see
the strong in mine; what did you put in
there exactly?
mircea_popescu opened a
thing of imported leberwurst, made one breadslice with dijon mustard, one slice with black pepper and fasskraut, one slice with sliced pickled gerkins.
bvt: BingoBoingo:
thanks, everything works fine
BingoBoingo: bvt: ran
the chown, let me know if
there are any issues or if
there is anything else I can help with
mircea_popescu: (i did have
to fish it out of spam, not right off sure what combination of what exactly
triggered it, but anyway)

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-26#1883106 << honestly,
this is a better "decorative artwork" plan
than i ~ever~ heard. and i heard girls with nice
tits sitting on multi-mn budgets all over "teh civilised world".
bvt: hello. BingoBoingo: applied and
tested
the changes from your first message, everything works.
ty!
mod6: Awesome Sir. I'll check back later
then.
Thanks all.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know you can do multiple recipients in
the same item, yes ?
mod6: Oh while I'm at it,
thanks for helping mats
the other day while I was afk. I appreciate it.

mircea_popescu: so
there you go, alf
takes
the crown for home decorating, becomes
the new goodbye girl!
a111: Logged on 2018-12-26 14:53 asciilifeform: plan with
the mega-photo, is
that -- when i figure out how
to stitch'em -- will make metre-sized poster for wall,
to scribble on as i reverse
the
thing...
mod6: BingoBoingo: sounds great!
Thank you.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-25#1882987 -> my
tests show
that you can rely on <strong> </strong> for it
to show in bold (b, em seem
to be eaten); in further infuriating
things, <blockquote> works but ONLY if used on separate line (i.e.
this is a <blockquote>bbw </blockquote> will do nothing but
this is a \n <blockquote>biegw</blockquote ...works
BingoBoingo: I'm about
to send
the dispatches
to current customers
mircea_popescu: mod6 BingoBoingo was saying something about getting a closer
to original
thing on pizarro
mod6: BingoBoingo: Can I get a wp-mp @ pizarro when you have some
time, feel free
to invoice me or whatever is right and proper.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-26 13:02 diana_coman: at any rate,
the fact
that
the summaries seem
to elicit further discussion and clarification of
the original
topics is further benefit (I did not expect it /
think of it at all initially)
a111: Logged on 2018-12-26 12:58 diana_coman: perhaps unsurprisingly,
the relative lengths of logs are not quite enough
to predict relative lengths of summaries, ofc;
the 10-16 dec summary is a whopping 5.1k compared
to 3.7k 26-2Dec despite logs being 31.3k vs 54.4k respectively; anyways, I'm rather relieved it
turns out
that
the summary IS at least shorter
than
the logs!
mod6: Anyway, I just stopped in as I've been resting, reflecting, doing a spot of work on
these forthcoming blog posts over
the month.
mod6: Cool, yeah, I hear ya
there. We smoked a ham, was pretty great actually.
mircea_popescu: mod6 fine, actually,
trying
to emerge out of xmas food coma.
mircea_popescu: well,
the paste was deliberate, but i'd have deliberated otherwise if i realised it's multiline
mod6: Tryin'
to be me 'eh?
mircea_popescu: ow shit. sorry for
that, didn't realise it'll be
THAT long.
mircea_popescu: kcHPKqv4Vh/wXr/joKFYa/Bv70RS24WUUiqsq3Ta50XXY/9/wlOW9zLTx4NGGR2XDbTJXl0XF4LTkQMc8DHw1Fq2b6AxvQRmdjKg= << in other news, reach
the core is a fun little game.
mircea_popescu: though
there's about as many ro.vampires as us.cosplayers.
mircea_popescu: thus
therefore,
the romanian "vampire" is ~the us mall rat hanging out by hot
topic ; not
the cosplayer.
mircea_popescu: romania is a small country, and it is incorrect
to identify groups by
their rarity. a 10k demographic in romania is NOT "the same" as a 10k demographic in
the us ; it's
the same as
the 100k one.
mircea_popescu: it's actually a different demographic. ~these~,
the moron you saw in romania, advertise
themselves in
the us as "having a hobby" in
their corporate cv.
they go race rc boats every
third weekend or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: possibly runs ubuntu
tho. or w/e, android, same
thing.
mircea_popescu: ie,
the orc pantsuit are just as pantsuit as
the empire pantsuit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guarantee you
that schmuck had a large debt load
to maintain his illusion of being "in civilised world" along with occasional participation at "color revolutions" and various idiotic conversations with similarily inane "friends".
mircea_popescu: (the study of masks, btw, is a very large part of anthropology, for very good reasons. not much
to study
these days, but what can you do.)\
mircea_popescu: if one day
they discovered orange paint one cent per
ton cheaper
than w/e sorta-like sickly white man pallor pigment currently in use...
mircea_popescu: but
there's ~economic interest~ in ~actually maintaining
the divide~. not like guyfawkes foundation is out
there buying ads.
mircea_popescu: and
they're known for a strict incapacity
to maintain multiple loci of interest. so if indeed orangemanguyfawkes masks would be available,
then #orangemanguyfawkes would have 1mn users ; but as
they aren't,
thereofe #orangeman has 800k users and #guyfawkes 200k users.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other stray
thoughts : isn't it a wonder
the "orange man" and
the "guy fawkes" memes aren't merging ? <<
There was some overlap with people wearing gray bodysuits
to play NPCs
mircea_popescu: this historical character, who happened
to win a presidential election IN SPITE of
the wishes of
the media machinery and
the expectations of
their vat-dwelling retards, was re-interpreted for
their minor intellectual needs as "orange man" by
the same mechanisms.
mircea_popescu: this is a history, whether you know it or not, whether you rubbed shoulders with
the chicago outfit back when
they were inventing las vegas and
the new york set and so on.
mircea_popescu: um.
trump is an actual physical person, an old guy, son of a magnate, bankrupt a coupla
times, very entertaining
town fool in
the 70s, etc.
mircea_popescu: entirely unrelated
to historical anything, much like car advertisings unrelated
to car, related
to viewer.
mircea_popescu: trump also exists from hollywood media for
the "orange man" crowd.
