mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there's a lot of room between "highly functioning mental case" and "socially pleasant normal person"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, give it till the end of today to figure out what we're doing here, but in principl yes.
mircea_popescu: i was thinking copies of extant, so as to give them to pizarro in exchange, see ? this way i don't have to move hdds
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i've not been in cr for months ; no, the idea was to get you to buy them for me :)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, would you be amenable to carry 2 replacement boxes on yoru trip over, that i buy, and give them to pizarro in lieu of these two, convert them to colo only ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: diana_coman, do we actually need/use both as such and ~permanently ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: jeez i like #trilema, at 12:12 ask question, at 12:28 have answer.
mircea_popescu: obviously if "society" overloads sexual relationship with "civilisational meaning" then they wanna "treat female hysteria", which is now "a condition" -- the condition of societal overload not working out in practice.
mircea_popescu: there's also a type III that's not really a type -- sexually frustrated humans get crabby. this is perfectly healthy, and evolutionarily necessary. "if in unhappy relationship, push it till it either fixes or breaks".
mircea_popescu: this is why freud mostrly "treats" stutterers and anxious-maniacal folk. cuz they're not type-I broken in the head, they're type-II, they got "dysphoria", they thing "
maybe they're gay" and such nonsense.
mircea_popescu: and this is the justification for medicating them, such as it is.
mircea_popescu: this ~last type~ is perhaps amenable to treatment. because if you give the kid-thats-a-blur something to fix him the fuck down for five minutes he might have the breather to figure out which way the shoes go on ; and if you don't... well, esp at that age, it's perfectly possible the brain window closes, and he never the fuck will. because this is how the brain works, either learn language by ~5 or forget about LANGUAGE. al
mircea_popescu: similarily, the overanxious stutterer, and so in this vein.
mircea_popescu: there's also a II) dataflow control failure. these are all the "add" (kids so aggitated they're saying something, the WHAT they're saying gets lost in dribbles). these are the manic-depressives, people so concerned with their "
status" they fail to actually produce anything, like a robot that's 99% sensors and 0% servos.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: quick mp likbez on mental health : other than mentally healthy people (which is very vast indeed, and well varied, and almost universal), there I) an organic malfunction type, which sometimes ends up spontaneously organized -- much like "cancer" is "that tiny % of broken cells that end up broken in such a specific way they stay organized".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, as per tradition (sadly, the WRONG tradition, of common law title-deed), can i has logline re this or anything ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, /me shall be going to egypt for a coupla weeks starting prolly this weekend. mwahahaha!
mircea_popescu: that's precisely what a slavegirl is, a woman that from outside seems a whole fucking blue chip corporation all by herself. much like a car is, to the zulu mind, "a whole herd of oxen".
mircea_popescu: i guess ima have to have this dug up on my own side also, to get back to sanity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i'm well confused now. so i'm pying .40 a year for colocation ?!
mircea_popescu: i'm not trying to eat your lunch here, you should be paid a fair amount ; but note you that "sin" was ongoing for as long as i didn't say anything ? this is just not how things can possibly work.
mircea_popescu: if my net didn't churn 1 gb / minute i dunno wtf i'd be doing here. or rather... i do know.
mircea_popescu: but at least this deeply foss process is asking me for my password every 5 minutes, so how bad can it be.
mircea_popescu: and then of course the moment you actually try to install a game, steam needs at least 2-300mb of further updates.
mircea_popescu: remarkable just how useless computers are these days. so first, i chugged in 2gb of ubuntu. the moment it came up it wanted to get a further 450mb of "updates". then it turns out ~every game out there has pretty much outsourced its distribution (and, i suspect, debugging, such as it is) to steam (with a minor gog presence as well). so you gotta install steam. that's only 50mb or so, but a third layer by now.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: old, can be used as well as always" ; "Since thursday the visa rules for ticos were changed by Donald Trump so as to require the social media platforms they use (without password)".
mircea_popescu: ie "Behaviours such as sending messages with sexual content to a student or proferring macho comments in class go unpunished in the public universities [of Costa Rica] because of the weakness of administrative sanctions imposed by the rules on sexual aggression" ; "Huawei Costa Rica calls for calm and assures all its products can be used without concern. They assure the smartphones and tables already sold and those to be s
mircea_popescu: good thing #ubuntu has >1k users tho. it'd get boring if the same exact names logged on and off all the time.
mircea_popescu: and in ongoing other-half lulzsaga : ubuntu installer dies, drops to busybox ash because initramfs can't find a live filesystem
mircea_popescu: and if 80 of the 100 or so ever alive at one point are lost to that delusion, things like the monkey empire can exist.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the only way out is the "dude, i know you're too fucking stupid to understand WHY you have to obey, but obey nevertheless". which, sadly, is indistinguishable from their pov from the common socialist state.
mircea_popescu: 1785 days since chanserv saw anyone there. this'd be... EXACTLY the interval.
mircea_popescu: * *** Notice -- TS for #bitcoin-argentina changed from 1559482823 to 1405209446
mircea_popescu: it's one thing for habitual drunk to be sober six days ; it's quite another for him to manage forty weeks.
mircea_popescu: what gabriel ladel or the rest could accomplish requires 6-18 month stretches. they do not get those.
mircea_popescu: yes, but the problem with the intervening centuries is that the barrier to achievement rose. what newton could usefully do could be accomplished in weeklong stretches ; which is how he did manage, 5-6 weeks / year, to produce something.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, this is the problem, every generation has a small set of actual human beings, with functioning brains. and the current set's mostly fighting their tulpas.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, 3d lib is cal3d ; there's a more general lib atop it (crystal space, cs). then there's yet another one on top of that. they follow the same 2000-2010-2019 "progression"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, in fairness, you're termiting it, ie, replacing by parts.
mircea_popescu: sadwomen aka "empowered modern career woman" being the result of male withdrawal and neglect exactly in the same manner ourdemocracy is the result of smart people just checking out of reality altogether.
mircea_popescu: (of course, that sorta workforce can't be fielded, because gabriel_ladel, adlai, brendafdez etcetera type reasons ; meanwhile the sorta workforce that can be fielded, well... they're the office drone, wanna pray and future_
mircea_popescu: if i'm gonna field that sort of workforce, ima just make them make a new one.
mircea_popescu: for slightly more effort than'd have been required to outright write it.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how they didn't even have the fucking decency to 2020, they're that mememe narcissistic -- so it goes from killing to chasing to jacking off ? such progress redolent of decay!
