ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yeah
turns out some source mindlessly subbed "dollars" for "pesos"
mircea_popescu: hanbot hey, what's
tampons cost ? inquiring male minds wish
to know
cazalla: ben_vulpes: also hey qntra would you drop gravatar for
the "here's my domain, please serve domain/avatar.png" icon model? <<< done
ben_vulpes: hey mircea_popescu what's
the going rate for a box of
tampons in bsas?
the "tampon shortage" is making
the rounds on jezebe
mircea_popescu: someone should
take a yearling dromedary
to a skating rink
mircea_popescu: dude what do
they have against bielorussians! it's always
them getting fingers caught in doors.
mircea_popescu: "During WWII, a Belarusian boy is
thrust into
the atrocities of war, fighting with a hopelessly unequipped Soviet resistance movement against ruthless German forces. Witnessing scenes of abject
terror and surviving horrifying situations, he loses his innocence and
then his mind."
mircea_popescu: kinda surprised
there's not more art dedicated
to her. i'm unaware of more remarkable women in
the xxth century.
mircea_popescu: generally i
think of
the girl
that poisoned her brood.
mircea_popescu: is it
that wikipedia has found
the bewst way
to do
this ? or is it
that once
they did it everyone can follow in
that wake ?
mircea_popescu: obviously it will have
to, it's a non profit. no issue with
the substance.
the form struck me
tho.
mircea_popescu: sleeker
than wikipedia's
tho.
the definitely web 1.0 look of gnu.org helps.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so i follow your link
to gnu.org,
top of
the page ? a very wikipedia-ish request for donations.
mircea_popescu: that's how he fucking confuses
thiel and kelly.
they're all digested, right ? same
thing!
mircea_popescu: no, it's simply looking at
the life of one evgheny morozov. for you see stan, little zenja was a country boy
that got himself mixed up in
the high stakes game of anglo propaganda and intenrational diplomacy!
mircea_popescu: here's a question, btw : what's better,
to be running
the proverbial
taxi in new york ? or
to be in a later generation, playing exactly
the role of pocahontas
to various ngos, "look at
this nigger injun, how like our own kids he is, and how pretty in
that dress!" ?
mircea_popescu: and ironically, it seems
the old hands were right. it went
to shit since
then.
mircea_popescu: as late as 1880 it was held
that such option is not on
the
table
mircea_popescu: but actually, as it was, with a view
to its own self coherence.
mircea_popescu: not re-narrated with a view
to make contemporary institutions meaningful and appear sensible.
mircea_popescu: s perhaps
the most informative avenue into
the ACTUAL history of
this sphere.
mircea_popescu: may you have now anal sex ? provided you both agree
to it ?
mircea_popescu: if you get married, which is
to say, BORROW a woman from her father, and swear an oath
mircea_popescu: so let's go further in
the fertile soil (hint hint) of female simile
mircea_popescu: not
that i
think fsf's bad or anything. merely observing
that peanuts aren't aeroplanes does not imply a hatred of peanuts.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for whatever reason,
things still are what
they are.
mircea_popescu: pretending
the contrary is fine, if one so prefers, but it's still mere pretense.
mircea_popescu: your " without gestapo suddenly breaking down
the door and demanding
to see if you've multiplied unauthorized numbers" is exactly equivalent i suspect
to what i call who are you again ? fuck off, I don't give a shit" sort of approach
to
third parties of any man owning a computer
mircea_popescu: suppose i make computers, and decide
to not sell
them. what now ?
mircea_popescu: state
the rms "ethical consideration" w/e it is. "nobody may forbid anyone's access
to written strings" ?
mircea_popescu: yes.
that if i write something on my slave's
thigh, it's none of your damned business.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in one aspect. now make an ethical distinction / moral rule (really nfi why
they keep derping about ethics, its all a moral consideration)
that resolves
that while preserving my slave's
thigh.
ben_vulpes: also hey qntra would you drop gravatar for
the "here's my domain, please serve domain/avatar.png" icon model?
mircea_popescu: if i write something on my slavew's
thigh it's none of your damned business wtf.
mircea_popescu: and in
the end it killed ms, but
then... google was born, and apple was reborn, and here we are.
mircea_popescu: the situation was microsoft or go hang yourself,
to which a lot of people who didn't particularly wish
to hang
themselves reacted as best
they could,
mircea_popescu: i don't propose
that rms "shouldn't have" or
that fsf shouldn't have been or anything of
the sort. but really,
the pretense
that at some point
the situation seriously was, red pill vs blue pill and o'reilly of all people
tricked everyone into getting
the wrong pill...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i guess "important" is not
the best word, as im discussing size-importance.
mircea_popescu: yeah,
tellingly no mention of gates makes into morozov's
thinking.
