diana_coman: lolz, I guess if I am, then I will, won'
t I?
mircea_popescu: and they don'
t have to learn about santa and the guy in the sky. they will, sure, if that's what you wanna tell me.
mircea_popescu: exactly. you don'
t have to grow fat and stupid now that you have kids. but if you expect to, sure, you will.
diana_coman: but that doesn'
t mean that you *have* to speak gibberish to them
diana_coman: yes, but more than that, they are actually curious (as far as I can tell and not only based on mine) and enjoy something new - they don'
t care about the level really, so it's more a matter of what the other people can "feed" them really
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 15:24:37; mircea_popescu: rearing children is perhaps not so unlike going to reeducation camp for a few years. it "didn'
t work" on a. solzhenitsyn. it DID work, obviously, on all the schmucks he knows by name but you do not. so...

☟︎ diana_coman: and no, I don'
t spend my whole day in a room with small children (and even when I do play with the lo, I find myself quickly ending up basically explaining graph theory on his train set/track or something other - not out of some idea that it will make him a genius, but out of boredom, yes)
diana_coman: asciilifeform> don'
t discount the iq hit apparently imposed by spawning <- interesting theory, as a mother of a 3yo I can say that the only way I can see that work is mainly due perhaps to sleep deprivation
mircea_popescu: i write the occasional bit of poetry/literature, and i don'
t either regard it as some sort of gain or myself as insane (for it)
mircea_popescu: not that i'm persuaded, but one can'
t not notice the coincidence.
mircea_popescu: fucking monkeys already. so he fucks up, once by getting involved in a piece of shit scam, the other for sucking at math. and what he wants to know ain'
t "i wonder how i could be less fucktarded" at any point.
phf: biggest disappointment of my schools years, turns out that "flea balloon" idea doesn'
t quite work
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dulap may be the latest piece of software in actual use that doesn'
t actually benefit from periodic rebooting
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i think the latter kids don'
t really grok this "don'
t reboot machine " thing
☟︎ trinque: moonpunter: that invention... you didn'
t make that
mircea_popescu: you can contrast it with ontology, or gnoseology for that matter. and obviously you can build other quite clever sturctures. but yours didn'
t mean anything is all.
trinque: I don'
t know that the relationships need be between things which would be considered to be in the same set
cazalla: BingoBoingo, yeah i understand the numbers thing only has value to you, so i am sure you will not be offended that i don'
t rate higher than a 4-5 for anyone i've yet to share a meal with.
BingoBoingo: Sober, my weekend doesn'
t start for a few more hours
BingoBoingo: cazalla: We share a business. It's survived nearly a year. Also the particular numbers next to ratings don'
t exactly mean much.
ascii_field: aha you can'
t 'homo homini lupus est' (tm) in english
mircea_popescu: and yes, about half the population doesn'
t get them right on the first try.
mircea_popescu: but just because english makes a mess of vocative case / demonstrative pronoun / possesives etc doesn'
t mean much.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, guy didn'
t come out of nowhere. he was prepping for it longer than it'd have take to do 5 bootcamps.
danielpbarron: a lock to keep out the people who wouldn'
t have tried anyway
trinque: depends on the chick, but if you're not fat, have all your teeth, and so on, I find it hard to believe a girl couldn'
t find a lay on such a thing
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2015 18:35:36; thestringpuller: trinque: read an article in wired recently about how this girl couldn'
t get laid after college so she signed up for tinder and she is quoted as saying, "I was more promiscuous than I ever could be in college."

☟︎ trinque: speaking of which, ey yo jurov, friendly reminder that I can'
t change mailman settings
trinque: and yeah, Tinder's the one. I couldn'
t be less interested.
trinque: I'm pretty amused by Trump. We can'
t even do the angry-demagogue phase of the thing right.
mircea_popescu: "it is a right of the citizens to do away with the taxman if they don'
t like what he does"
mircea_popescu: why do people think whosoever they don'
t grasp is inspired by satan himself ?
mircea_popescu: "why can'
t you be more like plants, said the sheep to the wolf"
trinque: doesn'
t twitter have an HR-department style "don'
t be mean" policy now?
kakobrekla: >It doesn'
t seem to be one you use often. Personally, being on lists has never been a good thing for me. < now you are on the list of people not being on the list!
punkman: ascii_field: and who doesn'
t have one!
trinque: see, you don'
t have to be good at your "passion", it's just this vague focal point off in the glorious future somewhere
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t matter. look around. it's what white middle class twerps say when they're trying to talk their way out of shit.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i don'
t know enough about torvalds, but i suspect that his bargain with satan, from which he sleeps ad libitum, involves putting up with this crud
mircea_popescu: why don'
t they come fuck the girls too, therefore saving me the trouble of washing my cock afterwards.
cazalla: wasn'
t adlai jewish? (just sayin')
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2014 18:35:25; asciilifeform: i can'
t claim to have a handle on what ails pankkake et. al.
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2015 07:03:34; mircea_popescu: i guess us research facilities don'
t hold the actual scientists, us civil service doesn'
t hold the actual politicians and us prisons don'
t hold the actual prisoners. they're all in meta-usa, the meta-nsa, meta-criminals and generally an entire country-equivalent of actually competewnt dopplegangers.
fluffypony: cazalla: check the placard on the right of the picture, protesters can'
t spell :)

☟︎ mircea_popescu: bwahahaha. in what lalaland is this going on. fuck you, you want it done, do it yourself. you're here to work for me, that's why you get paid. i don'
t get paid to be here. logic 101.
punkman: hope Gavin doesn'
t read this and buys a hat
trinque: it's quite a thing; I've worked under guys that demanded minimalism and it didn'
t hold a candle to this.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t remember what exact "bitcoin jesus" nonsense he had in his schedule, but i do recall i made the judgement the person can not possibly be intellectually respectable.
moonpunter: i signed a contract with the landlord, he violated it in several ways and attempted to violate it in more. he was disappointed when he figured out i didn'
t need his apartment, and most definitely stole some of my property left there before the move-out date, then lied to police about it. we don'
t need anymore laws protecting landlords where i live.
trinque: can'
t really talk in terms of rights without some theory on how they'd be enforced
BingoBoingo: Well, in most rural places it isn'
t just the money. It's whether you're the sort who should have money or not.
trinque: and admittedly as a white male, it doesn'
t apply to me much there.
moonpunter: cops don'
t even know what laws they're enforcing, most of them act on emotion, professionalism lacking, institutional racism, extortionist tactics at the jail - $3.00 per minute for a phone call in 2014
moonpunter: 25c or d, don'
t remember. radios. you'll never convince me to wrok in a military IT department.
moonpunter: i don'
t know about any artillery or most of the vehicles; i did maintain my humvee and i was the only truck in the platoon to never break down b/c i didn'
t mind annoying the mechanics
mats: i vaguely remember reading a field manual (M2?) where it is possible to adjust which side spits out the rounds but don'
t recall details, if moonpunter figures out gpg maybe he can tell me
mircea_popescu: there are known and amply documented cases of mechanical sight misalignment that can'
t be detected with one eye
williamdunne: For a good laugh, a socialist using words they don'

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2015#1253717 << fair enough... though this reaction of mine is likely related to the fact that I was once fired from a school district while subbing because a student reported that I called her an "idiot" - wasn'
t true; I was speaking of the classroom behavior as a whole, but mattered not to the spineless principle nor to my "mentor" (I was sub for him) - this was with 10 days to
☝︎ mircea_popescu recalls the lulzy instance when "big deal" silicon valley firm wanted to talk but a) principals "didn'
t have the time" to come visit and b) they really didn'
t see "why i'd need" three first class tickets + hotel of "pick from this list" + the rest of the rider.
mircea_popescu: this because the usg is a great expert at making claims and putting forth pretense, but can'
t generally pay a cup of coffee if it comes to it.
