BingoBoingo getting clean air before making one last dive into
the corral of mediocrity
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 ☟︎ lobbes: ^^ lemme know if you end up needing
the post-by-post history and I can shoot
that over
too
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.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: um south" slave who'll pick cotton, exactly as much and not an iota more or less as
there's cotton
to be picked, and will brush silverware exactly as much and not an iota more or less as
there's silverware
to brush.
mircea_popescu: the difference is
that some do what
they will and
the rest do what
they can.
that's it, and
there's no
talking out of it available,
the surgeon will operate a case of apendicitis every single
time a case of apendicits walks in
the er door. not a single
time less nor a single
time more. "nobody asks him" in
this exact sense, he'll do what
there's
to be done according
to
the book of his slavery, much EXACRTLY like
the "antebell
mircea_popescu: the question is not "whether slave has some leeway". all living
things always have some leway.
the question is, in romanian, "desteptu' face bani din ce doreste, prostu' din ce poate" ; and in latin, "si quis, inquis, dives est,
tum cenare potest cum cupit. si pauper,
tum cenare debet cum potest."
mircea_popescu: nor can
this be dispelled by anecdotal example. ~of fucking course~
there's 90yos you'd love
to have dinner with. few and fart between.
mircea_popescu: being old sucks, and
this isn't going
to change by how you package
the old folks. it's not "serenity cedars" or whatever stupid name's fault
that
there's no great 90yo strippers, or wrestlers, or whatever
the fuck. no reforming of retirement homes is gonna make senior citizens a pleasure
to drive behind. and so on.
mircea_popescu: much like
the fact
that old people will either be found loitering in old people homes or else loitering in parks and
train stations isn't possibly an indictment of old people homes ; but of old age.
mircea_popescu: ment of slavery as an institution, but
to an indictment of blackness as an ethnicity.
mircea_popescu: to sum up : "antebellum slaves" weren't "some people with absolutely no options".
they were "some people whose continued existence depends on ~others~ maintaining an ecosystem for
them".
their "freed" descendants replicated
the original situation exactly,
they're came up with "the rap industry"
to "tryna make it in", an' when clinton gave
them free houses
they failed
to keep up with
the payments.
this doesn't sum
to an indict
mircea_popescu: there's exactly no difference between scarlet o'hara's mammy and
that elaineou chick';s story about how she didn't get subtype x of brand y of packaged "food" at office because she got it at home and she wanted ~some way~
to distinguish between
the
two.
mircea_popescu: sure, and slaves can decide whether
they're gonna wear rag A or rag B.
mats: if you're actually good at what you do, you can have some limited control over decisions
that affect you
mats: i understand
the pedagogical purpose of what you're saying
mats: doctors are asked
to decide what
their specialization will be, what grants
they are looking
to pursue in order
to undertake some research
mats: its normal for lieutenants
to be asked whether
they're looking
to go command
track, staff; what
their
top 3 stations are; ncos can volunteer for special billets like recruiting, babysitting privates as instructors, embassy duty, going
through various schools under jsoc, ...
mircea_popescu: when's
the last
time you ever heard anyone ask a sailor/doctor/starlet/best grip/screenwriter/whatever what ~they~ would want
to do ?
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 23:32 mircea_popescu:
to restate in
these
terms, "two young males, fractional '''girlfriend'''
they'd have
to pay
to get rid of, living with parents, hoping
to be one day paid by inca for
the useless '''work'''
they want
to do" etc.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1875076 discussion very much apropos.
there's either domestic slave, or domestic liability. "wife" "girlfriend" "significant other" bla bla bla sad if
transparent attempts at confounding
the issue
through labels. "oh, it's not directly evident if i mean she's
the head of
the household or
the drain in
the balance sheet". "no, actually, i
think i can
tell".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: contrary
to what overexicted emotards like
to pretend,
there ~isn't~ a
third.
mircea_popescu: in any case,
the best possible
thing you can be is property.
the alternative is being a liability.
mircea_popescu: humans generally work
terribly poorly on
the 2nd perspective.
mircea_popescu: slavery is "do what you're fucking
told
to do".
the only available alternative is "figure out something for you
to do".
mats: perhaps a definition of
terms is in order - i consider slavery
the keeping of humans as property, distinct from slavery in
teh manner of
the old
testament, indentured servitude with
timed expiry, 'jubilee'
mats: is
this second bit a political or economic argument
mircea_popescu: many
things can ONLY be done by slave labour. such as, making a film worth watching. or running a hospital, or a ship at sea, etc.
mats: keeping slaves in usa was problematic in
the antebellum period, due
to
the increasingly common, unpredictable and malignant uprisings
mats: to expound on
that more, i'm not able
to readily wrap my brain around how keeping slaves as property can be a +ev activity with low variance
mats: according
to frankopan, anyway.
mats: astonished by how early successes of
teh venetians and rus, were singularly driven by willingness
to sell future generations of
their enemies, neighbors, children into captivity, and later, protection rackets
mircea_popescu: aha! and in romanian, "harap", literally slave,
transliterates "arab".
mats: also learned
that
the arabic word for eunuch (siqlabi) comes from
the ethnic label referring
to slavs (saqalibi)
mircea_popescu: survived in english and french up
to 1800s or so, but usually in formal private epistolary, "i remain..." etc.
mircea_popescu: the
transylvanian most common greeting ("servus") literally means "servant" and is a contraction of
the upper clas overpolite "i am your most humble servant" expression.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of
this in 16th century courtly southern yurp behaviour
mats: i learned
today
that ciao, from
the venetian dialect 'schiavo', means 'i am your slave'
mircea_popescu: what's left is
the question of whether
they do in fact do
the same
thing, cuz it dun seem so
to me.
BingoBoingo: Kinda like adult woman response
to pedophiles
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 ?"
☟︎ BingoBoingo: They just want
their rock
to crawl under and die quietly
BingoBoingo: Some boys stumble into
the door of
the reshaping
the world room here, and intensly nope
the fuck out
BingoBoingo: The boys are just slowly dying of nothing in particular and lashing out in ways
that carefully avoid
the masculine imperative
to reshape
the world for fun and profit
BingoBoingo: I'm probably somewhat off, but it seems
there is something almost adorable in
the way girls will cherish
their articles of poverty into a protective insulating bubble. And generally
they can get by on
their little whatever.
They've got
the hardware
to hold
the cognitive dissonance without completely self destructing.
BingoBoingo: Sure,
the girles might not have much, but
they cherish
their not
that much.
The boys hallucinate
their optionality out of straight up nothing.
mircea_popescu: what
the FUCK "boyfriend" can some 20yo moron from
the us have ?
they go on fucking dates, and if he sees me crossing
the street once he browns his pants slightly ?
mircea_popescu: fresh delivery : --zzz-- 23F sub 40m "How about I bet my boy frend
to abduct you and rape you Not even kidding :)"

the subject box I can't see so I have no idea what " intelligence

mircea_popescu: i
tell you
truthfully, no case of femtarded "oh i make choices, have oppinions blablabla" out of
thousands in
the same interval infuriate nearly anywhere near
the level of a zx2c4 or a l0de or whatever other such example.
mircea_popescu: see, my fetlife morons are WAY
THE FUCK SMARTER, in
their bovine idiocy & petriferous lassitude,
than
these utter fucktards.

these additional notes: Disingenuous at best. One of
the large group of everyday nitwits
that wandered into Bitcoin early on enough so as
to end up with a much larger momentary fortune
than
their limited brainpower could support. After squandering it
through
the usual means,
they prefer
to pretend
their funciar stupidity is someone else's fault..
mircea_popescu: spyked not so much a bug,
traditional behaviour on adding ~new~ feeds, because people generally want
to see a few articles from a new source. however, "old" feeds so
to speak don't need it. so maybe have just a knob for you, doesn'teven need
to be exposed
to general public,
to make
the distinction between normal (hey, new guy added) and exceptional (importing other bot's feeds) regimes.
spyked: this is a good point
tho:
the spam-on-first-subscription behaviour sounds like bug and I'll add in
the hopper for fixing.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-07#1878913 <<
this may work;
there's only ~5 feeds iirc. Question is: would using
the !1subscribe method flood
the channel with old blog posts, or would it just grab
the new ones?
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-08#1879046 <-- hm. feedbot sends rss entries
that aren't previously in
the db, so it'll spam on
the first !1subscribe. so in
this case it's better
to send me a list of
the feeds and I'll add
them manually.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: OleanderBloom 21F Exploring 3m "I do apologize for seeming unintelligent, and I must also politely decline
the offer. I am not polyamourous. I do however hope you find another new edition
to your existing relationships. :)"
a111: Logged on 2018-12-07 16:15 spyked: lobbes, if
there aren't more
than a couple of feeds, I could also have it join #eulora and you can !1 subscribe feed at your convenience.
mircea_popescu: Князь Потёмкин Таврический, you know,
the silent film.
mircea_popescu: yes,
traditionally in english "the army" means
the army, as opposed
to navy, airforce or marines etc.
mircea_popescu: and "why not applied" never separate or separable question. always delivered in a package with all other answers : "because
there wasn't who".
mircea_popescu: right. because, again, 'while(cops willing
to larp) kill()'.
mircea_popescu: or what, magically "palestine never
turned
tide" and ALSO "never heard of
this afghanistan place-where-empires-go-to-die" simultaneously now !?
mircea_popescu: experimentally, dozen doods with box cutters > usg "intelligence ocmmunity",
two decades ago.
mircea_popescu: in
the specific case of weimar, it was sailors, specifically kiel sailors. ie, "not army". and so on, whoever it will have been it'll always have been
the men present.
mircea_popescu: "oh, but briefly previously
this very same H was labeled ''planet x''." so what
the fuck ?
mircea_popescu: holy shit man, star is made out of H.
that's what H is, starmaker.
mircea_popescu: there is no such
thing!
think for a second : "i don't know of a case of a star created out of either foreign material or accreted local material"
mircea_popescu: coming back with a "oh, but people died of rock crushing in ancient egypt more
than now" is a very weird approach.
