mircea_popescu: but i didn't realise at
the
time it's what it was, i
thought it genuinely actually used it
to keep you out if underage
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i had
the one with
the "ken sent me" password.
fluffypony: and
then Space Quest 3 or 4,
the one where he
travels
through
time, you needed
the game manual
to complete parts of
the game
fluffypony: so you had
to copy
the game AND photocopy
the manual
fluffypony: Leisure Suit Larry required you
to put in a word from
the manual at a particular point
mircea_popescu: i remember hearing about such a
thing in
the mid 90s, and being both incredulous
fluffypony: remember
the copy protection on old games
thestringpuller: that's by
the dude who made Black and White, all his games are simulation based I
thought.
thestringpuller: lots of neat sim games. SimAnt was an Ant simulator, but a lot of people are squeamish so it never
took off.
mircea_popescu: if
two of you do
that's not a loss,
that's a gain. go for it.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell asciilifeform here's a decent putin joke : "All Vovocika jokes are political jokes."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yeah,
the places everyone
tries
to sell
tourists on. as
the only people clueless enough
to not realise
that... wait a minute!
mircea_popescu: porn is a marginal business everywhere, and so...
they'd be better off filming in ohio.
mircea_popescu: the only
thing a foreign porn company "rending in puerto madero" does is send
the local whores (perfectly happy
to swallow for 200 pesos, otherwise)
the message
that
they should overcharge. which
they will.
mircea_popescu: which makes
them completely uninteresting
to actual renters.
mircea_popescu: which makes
the people involved more interested in supporting an image
than providing a service
mircea_popescu: which makes most of
the income arrive not from renters, but from
the state
adlai for a moment was wondering what #b-a had
to do with seattle
mircea_popescu: so instead of
the judge selling
them by courthouse auction,
they keep having lifelines extended
mircea_popescu: they're not actually closed out, because argentina is still very far away from a working market economy.
these people'd be humiliated by
the market,
they're politically and socialy connected, can't have
that.
mircea_popescu: as a result, all
those developers are
today bankrupt, but...
mircea_popescu: ba failed
to be seattle, and
the costs of credit rose fantastically.
mircea_popescu: for
the bystander : puerto madero is
this overdeveloped zone
that cost a lot of money, financed years ago on
the
theory
that whatever, b-a is going
to be seattle.
adlai: "He wrapped himself in quotations, as a beggar would enfold himself in
the purple of Emperors." Rudyard Kipling
mircea_popescu: it's
that people, by and large, prefer
to just pass
things along
mircea_popescu: it's not exactly
that evil lizard WANTS people
to not contribute.
adlai: it must obstruct
the flow of bad qi up
the shaoyin meridian
mircea_popescu: clearly
the pressure spot for good behaviour is on
the ankle.
mircea_popescu: so
today i made
the discovery
that after sleeping in a half foot long ankle hobble, girl is much more respectful, obedient an' restrained generally.
adlai: mircea_popescu:
this is lame/overstretched joke, explaining
trilema's popularity in india by analogy
to
the parody article.
tl;dr:
this is dog
Anduck: i mean
the 2nd sentence of yours, it's got a point
Anduck: hanbot: please carefully review
the original "discussion" and
think
Anduck: hanbot: what
the fuck?
mircea_popescu: (the "AKA Satoshi Nakamoto, founder of
the Bitcoin" part is lulziest. have you founded
the bitcoin, sir ?)
mircea_popescu: mike_c: BingoBoingo: I'll write
that up once
the snsa statement hits
the wire. <<< it's skipping
this period.
ben_vulpes: Y'ALL ARE BEING MEAN I'M GOING
TO MUCK OUT
THE STABLES AND
THEN CALL REDDIT POLICE
hanbot: ben_vulpes maybe
they saved
the good coffee
to fuel
the
tractor?
mod6: return
the favor: leave
them a 2lb. of
tripe and an xmas card on
their doorstep
ben_vulpes: either
that or
the whole
team just really hates
their customers.
ben_vulpes: i suspect its
the 19yo queer girl who "doesn't put substances in her body"
that ordered
this miserable filth delivered
to my door.
ben_vulpes: <punkman> mircea_popescu: well
the racks are closed at least <<
these aren't
the racks you're looking for
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes :
today in b-a, "best jabs are
the completely impredictable, entirely baseless shit nobody expects".
ben_vulpes is still reeling from
the "rural america jab"
mircea_popescu: (yeah,
trilema actually does get
these
types of searches. in romanian.)
mircea_popescu: ;;google population size of where ben_vulpes works/lives, how many
time smaller
than buenos aires it is.
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2014 15:32:41; Anduck: why
the fuck all mircea-popescu followers here have
to
talk like he does
ben_vulpes: but why rural america? i don't live in
the boonies and
the company office is fifteen blocks north
ben_vulpes: i've *been* in
the leasing company's office.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you're being hit on, by a bunch of bored chicks stuck in a beancounter job in rural america and
the social skills of a box of liverjournals.
ben_vulpes: the best part was
the awful awful awful christmas card signed by
the office staff with nothing but signatures inside.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i suspek
the guy's
trying
to be fringe & controversial rather
than anything unsavory.
hanbot: “FBI agents just stormed
the building, came in here without a search warrant or anything,” Fappy
The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin, a mascot for
the group,
told CNN. << lol
mike_c: BingoBoingo: I'll write
that up once
the snsa statement hits
the wire.
mike_c: Monthly roundup
though, sounds like a good idea.
hanbot: Anduck: why so hostile? << stop interpreting gracious attempts
to refine your idiocy into something usable as "hostile". people who don't make
things as easy as possible for you aren't your enemies,
they're your
teachers. refusing
to engage in
the lesson ensures you'll stay comfortably stupid.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell bingoboingo mike_c "here's how november went for mpex stocks" piece for qntra ? can has ? << NSA statement?
punkman: kakobrekla: I'll
tell you how
that works. You scan faq quickly, read 99%
twice, so 1+1= 2%
kakobrekla: also not sure on
this one but whichparteism might come from kako
Anduck: as said, everyone
tries
to be as cunty as mp
kakobrekla: i was just genuinely interested where you brain farted
that you came up with 2%
Anduck: why
the fuck all mircea-popescu followers here have
to
talk like he does
