mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> so how does
titling an article "the problems of stupid people" circumvent
this
term of art ? << which
term ? and nah, it doesn't.
mircea_popescu: myeah. "frantic exertion as a decoy for impotence", as
teh
tlp guy likes
to say
mircea_popescu: anyway, back
to
the problems of
the stereotypical jew : same problem as shared by all middle eastern cultures, from bulgaria
to iran :
that
the woman is overimportant in
the culture. unlike
the other eastern cultures however,
the jew has very little means
to address
this problem. can't quite start stoning innocent girls in
the road.
pete_dushenski: i guess i just
think
that people would actually read such a
thing
pete_dushenski: so how does
titling an article "the problems of stupid people" circumvent
this
term of art ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, stereotypy's mostly a literary device.
the poor man's
term of art, if you will.
mircea_popescu: she dun has
to be surrounded by friends, heck, she's often alone, protected by
the magic of her idiot ball
mircea_popescu: there's a lot more
to it
than
that. big boobs,
tall, a certain mouth shape...
mircea_popescu: even if
they're both meaningful constructions,
they're not both stereotypical constructions. a good
test being, of course,
translation.
pete_dushenski: the stereotype of
the hot blonde is
that she's out of your league
mircea_popescu: see,
there's a stereotype of a dumb blonde,
there isn't a stereotype of a hot blonde.
pete_dushenski: even if
the specific vices
thereof are a matter of perspective
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
that's a point i suppose. but "stupid people" are subject
to
the same
mircea_popescu: how
the hell are you going
to discuss "jews" unstereotypically.
mircea_popescu: well first off, you introduced a stereotype by discussing jews, so we're going
to do stereotypes.
pete_dushenski: but
that doesn't mean author x is going
to stake his claim on a stereotype
Vexual: im entirely adverese
to ruinin git with music
Vexual: so where drowned is
the same as drowning, we might ise 1/30 s and
the smallest apeture, an da neutral filer
to suit
Vexual: reddit also says hashie is
tradefortress
mircea_popescu: no
time
to cook dinner anymore, mcd's gotta do. "i ordered
takeout. what ?! it's still effort!"
pete_dushenski: i mean it's one
thing
to keep an old lady company for a few years,
take her
to dinner,
to
the doctor's, end up in her will
mircea_popescu: then completely insane commanding officers fail
to sack
them and completely insane judges fail
to
throw
the
thing out and hold
the idiots in contempt for a few years at a stretch.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
this scam pops up now and again,
the sort of salesmen
that poach on old ladies selling
them 55's years worth of
toilet paper supplies and 19 organs join
the fbi and proceed
to "catch" old / mentally disabled / minorities and other vulnerable people at you know,
trying
to buy badbombium
pete_dushenski: Pedro Leonardo Mascheroni, 79, a physicist and naturalized citizen from Argentina, pleaded guilty in 2013
to espionage-related offenses stemming from a sting in which he
told an undercover agent
that he could help
the Caracas government obtain an atomic bomb, according
to
the F.B.I. and court records.
pete_dushenski: aok so basically random no one is being charged for
trespassing on campus property
punkman: re: kendra sunderland, she's just being
topless
pete_dushenski: it's where
the brain is bigger, not just
that it's bigger,
that's differentiating
pete_dushenski: it's not at all clear
that larger brains are
the function of a social behaviour, nor why
they should be
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, brain size per se is not well related
to energetic consumption, nor
to cognitive function for
that matter. whales have some of
the largest brains in
the animalia kingdom, and somehow
they're not writing stupid papers about 15yo virgin prisses.
mircea_popescu: so...
this guy is discussing interesting and otherwise important matters with all
the astuteness of a virgin 15 yo girl from nantucket.
mircea_popescu: actually i've not paid any
tax dollars, but i appreciate
teh intent.
pete_dushenski: Because of monogamy, Dr. Opie said, “This could be how humans were able
to push
through a ceiling in
terms of brain size.”
pete_dushenski: Brains are hungry organs, demanding 20
times more calories
than a similar piece of muscle. Only with a steady supply of energy-rich meat, Dr. Opie suggests, were we able
to evolve big brains — and all
the mental capacities
that come with it.
mircea_popescu: as far as
the fabled 17% strictly monogamous cultures go... i very much doubt
this ever happened. no culture in history was strictly monogamous for a strict definition of strictly.
pete_dushenski: The extra supply of protein and calories
that human children started
to receive is widely considered a watershed moment in our evolution. It could explain why we have brains far bigger
than other mammals.
pete_dushenski: In our own lineage, however, fathers went further.
They had evolved
the ability
to hunt and scavenge meat, and
they were supplying some of
that food
to
their children. “They may have gone beyond what is normal for monogamous primates,” said Dr. Opie.
pete_dushenski: Once a monogamous primate father starts
to stick around, he has
the opportunity
to raise
the odds
that his offspring will survive. He can carry
them, groom
their fur and protect
them from attacks.
pete_dushenski: “Once monogamy has evolved,
then male care is far more likely,” Dr. Opie said.
pete_dushenski: lol but of course,
the retardosearchers go on
to make unwarranted conclusions:
mircea_popescu: there's probably a population somewhere in history
that actually reproduced by flies carring sperm from splooge puddles into fetid snatches.
pete_dushenski: “The human mating system is extremely flexible,” Bernard Chapais of
the University of Montreal wrote in a recent review in Evolutionary Anthropology. Only 17 percent of human cultures are strictly monogamous.
The vast majority of human societies embrace a mix of marriage
types, with some people practicing monogamy and others polygamy.
mircea_popescu: that's pretty much
the list of
things
the us has uncontributed
to.
mircea_popescu: is now
the problem,
to be definitivel solved by inflation and loose money.
mircea_popescu: austerity,
the definitive solution
to all
the problems caused by inflation and loose money
mircea_popescu: meanwhile "economy", another us pseudoscience, has made shocking progress
the past 20 years :
mircea_popescu: "The astonishing
truth is
that despite millions of dollars and hundreds of academic careers psychiatry has made no progress in almost 20 years, let alone
ten, a claim no other medical specialty can make, and
the
truth which cannot be spoken out loud. Hence an exam."
BingoBoingo: Perlboy: Yeah,
that's some bullshit. My Money's on Sharapova now, just enough
to wipe
the previous loss if wins.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: just noticed
that serena is
through
to
the finals
mircea_popescu: just
the lulzof "you are finished".
the unintentional open mouth insert foot style of prose.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> lmao
this is
the eve online "protection" scam irl ?! by
teenagers with about
the same linguistic ability ? << wHERE?
mircea_popescu: lmao
this is
the eve online "protection" scam irl ?! by
teenagers with about
the same linguistic ability ?
mircea_popescu: "6. You are finished. Breath easy, and live your life in peace knowing you will never have
to deal with us again."
pete_dushenski: but clearly
the supermagickuserfriendly core is a
turd so i might as well just go for
the real deal
pete_dushenski: i
thought
this would be a good
training wheels program before
tackling 0.5.3 ...
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2015 03:13:36; mircea_popescu: something simple like, "whenever a parentless block is handed over
the retaining of which would cause memory pool for holding parentless blocks
to be overrun, a) drop
the handed block ; b) close
the connection and ban
that peer for half hour ; c) discard all chains of parentless blocks longer
than six items ; d) connect again"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you feel like
testing a 3rd approach, can you look
through orphanage for % of blocks more
than 10% off
the difficulty ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski well
the nuclear solution is wipe chain start sync over.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
the resolution
to safe mode being ... ?
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: apologies
to you for my uncivil language.
pete_dushenski: still loading
the chain actually. 2 days later at block : 322082
pete_dushenski: that was
the error msg from my
toy vps node running 0.9.0.3
mircea_popescu: davout: kakobrekla: dat
true << yeh namechanging sucks.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> a sent you an email or something? <<
They indeed did
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Only listened because
they were straight forward and not passive aggressive
this
time.
cazalla: for anyone not in
the know, BingoBoingo's work was born of google complaining about our mobile site
pete_dushenski: "errors" : "Warning:
The network does not appear
to fully agree! Some miners appear
to be experiencing issues." << huh
cazalla: mircea_popescu, lol
trolled hard
