nubbins`: if only i can make it to terminus
asciilifeform: if there is an 'x' such that 'if only i can make it to x, i might live' - that's where they'll go.

BingoBoingo: Also look how far people travel in their last days

asciilifeform: in that, before final resting place, you get to amble about and infect.
mircea_popescu: what';s better than a large pile of symbolically meaningful items.
asciilifeform: actually it is quite like the zombie plague
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> xanthyos: that story never made sense - why would we get own coffins << it makes perfect sense if you consider it for the communicatioon exercise it actually is.
BingoBoingo: I like the people who say "come on obola isn't zombie plague" not realizing that unlike pretend zombie plague obola leaves people real dead.
asciilifeform: otherwise, where to pack them all.
asciilifeform: if they're used, it'll be 3-4 clients per.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The actual demographics of AIDS vs the history of AIDS naming

BingoBoingo: And it really is GRIDS rather than AIDS to shame the system that could not forsee that most cases would happen to hetrosexual african women.
asciilifeform: i'd like to see which one of us gets kicked off freenode first, for 'harrassing' mr spam.
BingoBoingo: But this shit doesn't work in two dimesions, because sweat can't spread GRIDS or the flu
mircea_popescu: actually it's pretty close to aids from what i gather.
BingoBoingo: The thing about ebola is that people talk about it either like it's the flu and easy to spead or GRIDS which is hard to spread when it is in the middle, but leaning closer to the flu

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I thought carnations were the way.
mircea_popescu: so, how to break up with a girl subtler than sublte ?
asciilifeform: what is even the deal with xchat. / ignore user ALL doesn't seem to work.
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> You also repeatedly mention me in a negative light, despite my not saying anything to you. Just stop.
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> You seriously need to stop with the trolling. It is extremely unprofessional. I've already apologized for hurting your feelings.
asciilifeform: if you don't have a greybeard to apprentice with.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you may have to break down and get the book.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Last time I tried that I realized I dun really know how to emax

mircea_popescu: "bingbot 0.0.0 Ben AsselstineBingbot turns you into an IRC cyborg. When someone says "uptime" to you, it answers them back with your uptime. When someone says "vi?" to you, it answers them back with the last file you opened in vim. When someone says "search: foo" to you, it gets a random link to a gif on imgur.com/r/gifs/new and shows them that. written in c++, requires glibmm, curlpp and sigc++."
asciilifeform: anyone fess up to emacs ?
asciilifeform: would be interesting to have #b-a-voiced-only pm whitelist plugin.
asciilifeform will probably have to switch to whitelist soon.
mircea_popescu: what is this, the special internets ?
mircea_popescu: "o look guise, i have an article which sais people make fun of idiots! therefore your making fun of my idiocy is rendered null and void!11"
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> this really is ridiculous. Again, straight out of http://seriouspony.com/trouble-at-the-koolaid-point --- straight harassment and trolling. Because you don't want to actually work on shipping product.
mircea_popescu: otherwise it feels just like jenifer lopez' mom winning the lottery
BingoBoingo: Well in 2016 should be able to afford the south park guys

BingoBoingo: The impression of incompetence offers tha failed agent quite a bit of plausible deniability
asciilifeform: basic case master recipe from both sides of cold war - pretend to be an unrelated animal that nevertheless merits close access to the chumper's personal guts.
BingoBoingo: Asks a lot of unanswerable questions about net worth. Derpy scammer is an angle usg has prolly tried before in tax cases.
mircea_popescu: maybe im just out of touch
mircea_popescu: not the right kind of derp.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think anyone but you really sees the usg case officer angle.
asciilifeform: my favourite hypothesis re mr. spam is that he is a scammer masquerading as an incompetent usg case officer.
BingoBoingo: It is a disease of a lot of the swiftly discountable crackpots
mircea_popescu: there is that yea
BingoBoingo: Well I dunno that ninjashogun has ever read anything. It might taint his seekrit ideas with prior art.
mircea_popescu: not like ninjashogun can come and say "hei guise, i got 6months in, that's it rite ???"
mircea_popescu: as in, does this guy show understanding comensurate with a semester's reading
mircea_popescu: well yea, but i mean, the only way to verify that part is through what the people say
