mp_en_viaje: if i do check it out, and in a week return, "bitch, i know five guys
that've done you" she'll ask me "so ?" and if i go "you lied" she'll leave because "you're a fucking idiot". she has a point, doesn't she.
mp_en_viaje: it is substantially
the same as
the male equivalent (which for some reason is formally opposite, "i leased 20k chicks in one year!!!". cool!
mp_en_viaje: right. one day i met a girl, we fucked,
then she
told me i am her
third.
this
happens ; what do i care ? i didn't refrain from anything until her claim checked out (nor did i bother checking), what difference does it possibly make.
dorion: I didn't mean it as how I
treat
them, but what my expectations are.
mp_en_viaje: why should you be impolite, especially
to prospects.
mp_en_viaje: doesn't even have
to be as harsh as all
that. literature is not history nor history literature ; no ought yet flew from any is, in other words... you recall bacon ?
dorion: mp_en_viaje discount what
they say until
they've executed on an offer ? act as if
the check isn't going
to cash until it does.
mp_en_viaje: it's not a matter of degree, it's a matter of "does
the man
think
there's one
thing, or does
the man
think
there's
two
things ?"
mp_en_viaje: the other's illustrated in glengarry glenn ross, "I want
to show you something. It might mean nothing
to you...and it might not. I don't know. I don't know anymore. What is
that? Florida. Glengarry Highlands. Florida. "Florida. Bullshit." And maybe
that's
true; and
that's what I said: but look here: what is
this?
This is a piece of land. Listen
to what I'm going
to
tell you now:"
mp_en_viaje: dorion, but
there's a difference between
the jokes
they
tell and
the offer sheets
they carry.
the first is illustrated in la grande belezza, "Se non prendo sul serio Proust, che ci prendo sul serio ?" "Ma niente. Niente non devi prendere sul serio, acceti il menu, naturalmente."
dorion: in
this case in particular, a friend made
the intro and brought me
to
the guys' office. later we went for drinks, watched a fight,
talked about non-business
things. a week or
two passed and he came back wanting another meeting
to discuss how we work with
them.
dorion: how I judge what
they say is I look
them up, ask around, etc.
dorion: in my mind, I
talk
to people
to see who'd be a good fit. based on what
they say, I decide if I want
to continue
talking
to
them. part of
dorion: mp_en_viaje hm, not sure I do see. you're baiting
to see
the degree
to which I remain ustardian painted into
the corner ? ftr, I for sure want
to be aware.
diana_coman clears up a pile of paper notes as
the write-up is finally done.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-02-19 21:23:42 mircea_popescu: "literate" veals, very capable of scribbling
their own name in an alphabet of
their choice (somehow nobody notices "using an alphabet of your own choice" is
THE OPPOSITE OF SPELLING, and
the exact definition of illiteracy -- all
the fucking farmhands who can't read or write COULD scribble something down, anyone can screech random squgg;lies, with a shovel in a pile of dirt, with
their own piss on driven snow, f
mp_en_viaje: aaand in "other questions nobody [was smart enough
to have]
asked of me" : "hey mp, why do you always cat file | awk ? isn't it awkward ? don't you know awk can load its own file directly by itself ?"
mp_en_viaje: you asking me how
to verify an anecdote,
the very substance of social banter, denotes you miss
the point ; and it paints my observation in its
true colors : i'm baiting, because i suspect you might.
mp_en_viaje: back at reality, however,
things stand a little differently : ustardians have, for some ungodly reason, painted
themselves in such a corner of insecurity, anxiety and inferiority selfcomplexation, ALL
their social banter consists of
these lame as fuck self-anecdotes, like a bunch of neoprotestant farmers discussing nothing but
their crops, and how well
they've done ploughing. goldarn an' blue blazes!!!
mp_en_viaje: this is, perhaps, a weird
thing
to say ;
then again i'm a weird sort of guy.
to retort
that "well... how would i go about verifying it" is pretty good repartee in
the fancied context i just described.
mp_en_viaje: and i say "you know, from experience
these never actually occured".
mp_en_viaje: upon you return, you recount how it went. one of
the
things you say is "hey, do you know
the one with
the
two nuns and
the...", on
the basis of a fellow latex salesman unknown
to us having
told you a dirty joke over drinks one night in
the hotel lobby, after coming back from
the business and before going up
to
the personal assistants in
the rooms.
mp_en_viaje: suppose you were a latex salesman ; suppose we both and with
these other fellows worked for a latex mfg co. suppose you were sent
to a latex convention sometime. suppose
there you met some fellows, did some business, had some drinks, maybe a local secretary up
to your hotel room, whatever.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-03-02 16:06:09 dorion: aok. we sent him
the proposal
today, so we'll soon find out.
mp_en_viaje: maybe
the bimbo, i'm old and lazy. but
ty!
whaack: mp_en_viaje: cool, if you do a beach
trip nearby and would like
to surf I'll
take care of
the boards etc.
mp_en_viaje: whaack, i usually beach central rather
than north, but maybe we drive up
there one day, check it out
whaack: mp_en_viaje:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-03-01#1958708 Apologies, I had responded
to
this without having +v and didn't realize
the message didn't go
through. (thankfully jfw pointed out I had missed
the msg) I'm in Playa Junquillal, a beach in Guanacaste (the nearest city is Santa Cruz) . It's pretty close
to billymg's location. I am game for
the 28th.
billymg: anytime after
tuesday should work, just so i can rest after
the flight over
billymg: ah cool, yeah
that would be good
too
mp_en_viaje: not
that, but i figured we actually go have a cup of coffee
this week
billymg: mp_en_viaje: i didn't mean
to invite myself
to anything
though, if it was meant
to be only for a smaller group i'm happy
to wait until called upon
billymg: mp_en_viaje: yup, i'll be
there permanently as of next monday. just figured i'd doubly confirm
that i'll be around
that weekend
billymg: count me in for
the 28th as well
dorion: mp_en_viaje , jfw I'm game for
the weekend of
the 28th.
mp_en_viaje: so, yes, rather -- only at
the finest places.
jfw: They must have
them only at
the finest places!
mp_en_viaje: cuz
they're hard
to make, you know, chinese sheet can be had for what, $3.
threadbare sheet can be had for 5-10k nights slept in, and handwashing weekly. what's
that cost, $1mn ?
mp_en_viaje: toothless 30yo women, "you get 32
teeth at birth, you can have 32 explanations in
this life", and so on.
mp_en_viaje: just, you know, ACTUALLY
threadbare sheets, something i doubt you've ever seen irl.
mp_en_viaje: nah, lifetime poor people are universally cleaner
than
the suburban priss mind gives
them credit (on
the basis of
their very limited experience of bums, who are very specifically NOT
the same
thing -- a bum is an idiot with delusions of grandeur, a poor kid from a poor family is simply bereft of means)
mp_en_viaje: of course, if you're curious you can also go live downtown, hire a room in one of
the prostitute hotels, get some very real 1950s bronx experience under your belt.
mp_en_viaje: heredia (where
the local aspie class huddles) is pretty shitty, santa ana insanely expensive, escazu full of retarded (mostly retired) gringos.
mp_en_viaje: in any case,
try and get a place on
the west side, all
the nice beaches are on
the pacific coast, it'll save you an hour or so in infernal
tico
trafic
to cross
the
town.
jfw: heh, well whaack managed
to find a beach with a commute
to
the grocery store
mp_en_viaje: costa rica is small,
there's only practically
the
town of san jose.
jfw: mp_en_viaje: what would be
the
town
to stay in?
jfw: mp_en_viaje: alright, I'll go for Saturday March 28th. If
that works for others
too, so much
the merrier.
mp_en_viaje: jfw, well, i plan on maybe going
to rio late may ; other
than
that i'll be mostly around. pick a day, i don't specifically care which and it doesn't make any sense for you
to
try and coordinate with large groups at large distances -- if indeed
there's a gathering you can
take
the hourish
trip down again, at
the considerable cost
to you of a lunch out or w/e it is.
jfw: got a
time frame in mind yet?
jfw: yeah not bad, probably more
time in waiting and ground
transport
dorion apologizes
that wasn't asked 3 weeks ago.

trinque: not
tabled, and I apologize for
the delay. I
think it needs about one more post, and
then
there'll be a whole item described. I've been digging into
that
this weekend, ought
to be able
to squeeze it out
today or
tomorrow.
mod6: mp_en_viaje: Ahhh, alright,
thanks for
the update.
BingoBoingo: Fed it into deedbot before, but it seems deedbot deeding from chan may be requiring some manual intervention on
trinque's side.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-14 08:58:52 mircea_popescu: i will want a full release ready
to go concomitantly, so if your client isn't liable
to be around
then maybe deed it prior.
mp_en_viaje: but yeah, we're still in
the original plan, should be done by end of march.
mod6: mp_en_viaje: Hey
there, Sir. Now
that you're back
to CR (glad you had a good
trip), plz
to process mpex withdrawls when you have an extra few minutes.
Thanks in advance.
dorion: aok. we sent him
the proposal
today, so we'll soon find out.
mp_en_viaje: the only way you care
to verify is whether
the check bounces.
dorion: what are
the best ways
to verify such claims in your experience ?
ossabot: Logged on 2016-09-10 09:16:45 mircea_popescu: hard
to properly word a "company not around" clause is
the problem. according
to usg, ibm and cisco are both "still around".
mp_en_viaje: trinque,
the problem with your proposal is
that
the article isn't yet loaded at
that point.
mp_en_viaje: i don't
think you understand ; costa rica is austin in march/april 12 months a year.
billymg: trinque: also, hey, i've got about a week left here in austin. if you're not
too busy let me know if you'd be up for a drink or some steaks
billymg: trinque: i haven't looked closely enough at it yet
to say but i will check out get_header and see if i can get it working
that way.
ty for
the lead on
that
trinque: if
the problem with wp is
that it was designed "for everybody", putting improvements in an optional codepath (themes) seems exactly
the wrong
thing.
trinque: billymg: what did you
think of my proposal
to suck
the quoter up into
the get_header func?
trinque: mp_en_viaje: I might be able
to
travel in summer, don't mind
the mugginess as long as
there's beach.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, i just did it, so yeah. fly avianca
though, via colombia, leaving either spain or germany. easily
the best airline over
the atlantic
today.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje:
Thank you. I've been making progress fitting more of
the
tools in my hand and building with
them. diana_coman is working me on how
to plan, re-examining my relationship with
time and how I budget it, and grounding myself in practicality. I've surrendered
to diana_coman's mastery and
the breaches in my head aren't completely closed yet, but I'm surrendered and working her program.
diana_coman: bvt: I'll have
to check closer what's going wrong with
the script on my machine as
there seems
to be some weird going on, possibly at output rather
than anything deeper.
billymg: (the roadmap article
that is)
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje:
thank you and no worries at all; I hope I didn't come across as not wanting
to visit either, it's more
the 12+ hours
travel one way
that gives me pause.
billymg: mp_en_viaje: agree. ugh, yeah, i've really been meaning
to publish a roadmap for mp-wp
that others can comment on
mp_en_viaje: billymg, with it, one gets
the great advantage
that pingbacks
to his blog also link
to
the correct place in
the article, which imo is big.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, i hope it doesn't come across as any kind of disinterest or noninviting. i very much would like
to do more steaks, but i don't want
to produce an obligation.
mp_en_viaje: mind
though
that you include
the whole shebang,
the reason i linked
to
that comment rather
than
the article plainly is
that
the ~correct~ auto-select stubs on pingback were only introduced
there
mp_en_viaje: billymg, i
think
that'd be
the salutary
thing ;
that wayy it'll at least carry over passively
through edits
billymg: at least as an interim until proper
theming in mp-wp is solved, just so
the correct select mechanism is at least included in
the package on first press
billymg: as for vpatching
the server side select mechanism, since mp-wp ships with
two base
themes a patch could at least be made
to include
the select mechanism in
those. seeing as how most people copy/paste one of
the included
theme directories
to customize/create
their own
