danielpbarron: the truth of the Bible is universally known; to call it uninteresting is to make a fool of yourself
mircea_popescu: any of that make sense to you ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile some hurr about moses or abraham or whatever... these aren't somebodies. they're nobodies, did nothing, contributed nothing, i care about as much as to what abraham spawned out of which women as i care whether obama's ugly mother spit him out a week before or a week after they left kenya city harbor.
mircea_popescu: and not even gossip is all made the same. when i drop http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-04#1878182 it falls like a bomb because biographic minutia and "then he said"s of newton and taylor are still interesting -- these are somebodies, people who described actual, verifiable properties of defined abstracts, and so people marginally care whether they took showers or baths and so on. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose the problem could be stated as "yes, sex is universally interesting, being a fundamental human behaviour ; whereas religion is universally uninteresting, being fundamentally indistinguishable from gossip."
mircea_popescu: or the phonebook.
danielpbarron: is it really so much different than sending messages on kinky dating sites?
danielpbarron: the Word is to be preached in all places, be it on the street or on twitter. And afterwards, it makes for blog content.
danielpbarron: or died, and gone to the kingdom of God
danielpbarron: i would be taken up in the rapture before then, hopefully
trinque: pats danielpbarron on the back for his twitter posts?
danielpbarron: next would be, Christ rules the earth for one thousand years
trinque: danielpbarron: here's a question. on the glorious day after everyone on twitter agrees, falls before lord jesus, etc., what next?
trinque: any projects other than getting blocked by derps on twitter?
danielpbarron: for one, it shows how "offensive language" can be a barrier to spreading the truth. additionally, it exposes that guy in particular as being a false christian
trinque: couple of old women talking about who said the bad?
trinque: on the subject of struggles to emulate stupid, danielpbarron I can't imagine what this post is meant to convey.

nicoleci: not always great to do the unbelievable
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, no sorry just taking it all in
mircea_popescu: nicoleci cat got your tongue ?
asciilifeform bbl, petting pet, then moar maffs
asciilifeform: also annoying triangular pixels, i have nfi who thought that was good idea
asciilifeform: apparently those went to shit while asciilifeform slept in his cave
asciilifeform: the joystick that came with the thing suxxx tho
asciilifeform: i spat at the idea, but was pleasantly surprised when actually tried.
mircea_popescu: in fact, vice-versa, been trying to hire artists for half a decade.
asciilifeform: it's entertaining in strictly 'oh hey they threw brick and i can watch it hit my face' etc visceral thing.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean, it's not like i have tons of art looking for ways to ease public consumption thereof.
asciilifeform: orthogonal to the thoughts
mircea_popescu: eulora very thought-based, there's bots there's things.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: meanwhile in world of... games -- asciilifeform recently had chance to put on 1 of those '3d' welding-mask display things. surprisingly good optics nao. would be interesting in eulora perhaps
mircea_popescu: in fact, if trilema the blog is dedicated to anything as a literary exercise, it would be very plainly "there's no such thing as gists".
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as a "gist" anyway, not anymore than "niche" or "equality" or any other of a grosse pantsuit manic moronicities.
mircea_popescu: this is a very broken approach to writing -- thoughts have to flow from one another, in a constructed, harmonious whole. you're supposed to delineate the relations as well as the "gists".
mircea_popescu: and thank the good fellows, they've saved me! it turns out your problem is that you're trying to "select the gist" of your thoughts, and paste it in.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-10 00:39 mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the chick's something else. she loses like 40-50 iq points in writing. orally she's almost promising ; then she decides she's gonna write up an article, has a pretty decent idea for one, gets to work and what comes out is barely fit for jr high. i've never seen anything like this before.
asciilifeform was deep in the midst of an algebraic headache for 48+ hrs, only nao getting out
danielpbarron: i commented on the article
asciilifeform: and waiwat wat was this re danielpbarron 'saving', i missed a thread ?!
mircea_popescu: thank you two, i had nfi what was going on.
trinque: thing's full of the 'gist' of whichever thoughts she had all lined up in head
trinque: sure, typing
mircea_popescu: still takes words ooooohhh
mircea_popescu: trinque all they fucking do all day is write, you kidding me ? they work in an office, what else is there to do in an office besides writing ?
asciilifeform: trinque: iirc this one was a bureaucrat even, somewhere
trinque: asciilifeform: can find girl who was never forced to write anything in any city in USA
mircea_popescu: from anything there is.
trinque: danielpbarron: don't you have nothing to do over a case of coors somewhere?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i went to chicago coupla times in recent yrz on snoring saecular biz, it was astonishingly fulla ragged bums ( and a++ gilged age bldgs, in pretty sad states of decay )
mircea_popescu: boys nothing, there's this 40something moron with a collection of "slaves" ie confused girlies on xanax, and so on. heck, danielpbarron is saving her also, apparently.
asciilifeform: trinque: mircea_popescu must've lured away the 1 gurl in that nowhere town or sumthing close
trinque: mircea_popescu: this really adds to the lulz re chorus of bois begging her to say they aren't inadequate.
asciilifeform: but only will believe cuz mircea_popescu aint in the habit of making'em up
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the chick's something else. she loses like 40-50 iq points in writing. orally she's almost promising ; then she decides she's gonna write up an article, has a pretty decent idea for one, gets to work and what comes out is barely fit for jr high. i've never seen anything like this before. ☟︎
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo iirc you were the one who set up nicoleci's mp-wp, plox to take look ?
asciilifeform: nicoleci dun seem to have the mp's highlight plugin installed at al
asciilifeform: ooooh that was archiver's js
mircea_popescu: they resolve to footnotes.
mircea_popescu: it should not be possible for a mp-wp correctly installed to display the (()) part
asciilifeform: mp-wp on shared machine is a per-user install, tho, so it is possible that somebody's is broken. that one seems to work tho
asciilifeform: ( shows a properly-blued '"hi, let's try ((This is how they work.)) footnotes"1' )
mircea_popescu: hey BingoBoingo, is the mp-wp on pizarro's shared server broken or what ? i don't understand how http://archive.is/Bihzo#selection-111.0-115.1 is possible otherwise ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's these unicorns, "liberal professions". supposedly exist in some circumstances that nobody yet encountered.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform chick doesn't read code or understand anything. she just sed 's/x/y/g' 's and that's it.
mircea_popescu: ro has this habit of recycling the apparatus under diff names, ~same bs as in us but gets a new name every 5ish years.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform psd and pdl, the two major political parties at the time
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-09#1879175 << tell'em, nicoleci, that it is too late nao : that you have already grown the horn. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-12-09 06:01 mircea_popescu: yes, he can apply to boss man to be moved from silverware detail to apendicitis tickling, or vice-versa, to cotton pickin'. but as long as there's the three ring binder, servile profession stays servile profession, and not calling it slavery's exactly like calling the guatemalan sinkhole in your livingroom "my girlfriend". the calling dun change nothing.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-09#1879133 << i can't resist to ask, wtf is a 'nonservile profession' ? 'fuhrer' aint a profession imho ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-12-09 05:47 mircea_popescu: (cursory examination failed to turn up the actual item, was maybe 2016 vintage ; meanwhile snowed in by >9000 inconsequential tidbits a la https://elaineou.com/2018/12/01/dont-hate-her-because-she-commissioned-opposition-research-on-george-soros/ https://elaineou.com/2018/11/27/a-bitcoin-is-forever/ etc. spoiler : 2 out of past 3 offerings, rewritten "in own words" tlp articles, pete dushenski style.)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-09#1879123 << astonishing levels of snoar. tho will point out, the 'btc is 4evah' part is lulzy -- not even speaking of hypothetical crypto breaks -- there's, e.g., a built-in sad-fixint-overflow boojum due in < 20yr . ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-12-08 16:22 mircea_popescu: possibly it's the actual substance of gender identity, "when girls do x i find it tolerable, when bois do it i find it unbearable" "so you're male ?"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-08#1879048 << i turn these up erry coupla months, some rando derp claims to tmsr etc ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-08#1879088 << i have not read. but attempted to when eating log, and found that i dun have enuff of recent ro wank loaded into head, to make sense of it ☝︎
trinque: ah right, no worries. thanks for your testing.
diana_coman: but speedup option is actually good to know anyway
diana_coman: it's more that I'll be away in a few hours anyway and then it's night here so it may as well just run fully until tomorrow morning
trinque: can speed things up by copying /cuntoo/packages/* to the packages folder in the bootstrapper dir
diana_coman: will do and report back when it finishes - probably I get to see it in ~12 hours from now though ☟︎
diana_coman: I'll re-run it with that, no problem
diana_coman: trinque, yes, I seem to have a bootable drive at the end of it but empty .vpatch file; where exactly should I add the -x?
trinque: looks like you did receive a bootable drive though, just no vpatch?
trinque: I'll re-run on my end as well and confirm that I get the same results I did last time.
trinque: the empty dirs are weird indeed. I think -x at the top of that script will tell us more, if you would be so kind.
trinque: I roll through all other block devices but the target one and explicitly tell lilo not to fuck with them.
trinque: diana_coman: it's saying that lilo was instructed *not* to write to sda
diana_coman: also, why does it try to write to read-only stuff on /dev/sda or what am I failing to understand there?
diana_coman: so I think it wasn't just a warning really
a111: Logged on 2018-12-09 09:36 diana_coman: trinque, running the cuntoo script as root on Gentoo laptop with ./bootstrap.sh -k config/4.9.95-apu2 -d /dev/sdb where the laptop's own system is on /dev/sda and that /dev/sdb is an external drive connected via USB; all the partitioning+compilations seem to work fine but at the end the make_portage_tree script fails for lack of stuff and looking a bit higher up in the output I get this: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Mbkqu/?raw=true
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-09#1879137 << the warnings from cp are expected. I'm copying just files, not dirs (perhaps there's a way to suppress this warning?). If the script stopped at this point for you, I'd be curious what adding -x to the shebang at top tells us. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: Mr. Beam Friday, 25 November 2016 '"Used on blogging sites, mostly Tumblr, is an expression that denotes so many emotional responses that the user can’t even comprehend what has been said or seen. " << Wrong. Intel first introduced a line of Pentriums that couldn't even.' Mircea Popescu 'I thought the Intels couldn't odd.'
BingoBoingo: I can't recall the beam fellow
mircea_popescu: ahahah teh fucking comments. who was mr beam anyways ?!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do you perchance recall which trilema piece explained why and wherefore politeness is a social bad (inflates away the value system) ?
BingoBoingo: Really, its a whole pile of WTFs all the way down
mircea_popescu: they're so lulzy, these schmucks. srsly now, if i wanted to play with six year old girls i'd have stayed six years old. who the fuck ever does ?!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo keks, may now wants to stick with eu ?
