mircea_popescu: that's why getting him
there was so important for
the swedish collaborationists.
nubbins`: heaven forbid
they commit one way or
the other
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: not just usa. ask mr. assange <<< no, it;'s just
the usa
nubbins`: BingoBoingo so what's
the actual version number? 6.3?
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> don't be
the person
that you came with! << !
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> punkman: I
think
the university should just film everything, help
them pay off
that debt <<< you sound like motherfucking mp. << Upgrade
the dorms
to... STUDIOS!
mircea_popescu: hanbot: lol punkman. financial aid dorm, now with free cams. << shit, didn't i come up with
that idea like 5 years ago ?
mircea_popescu: punkman: I
think
the university should just film everything, help
them pay off
that debt <<< you sound like motherfucking mp.
nubbins`: man i'm reading
this article about cohen now and
the asshole who wrote it seriously just referred
to federico lorca as "gabriel garcia lorca"
mircea_popescu: hanbot: punkman
that good2go piece reads like advertising << duh. how do you
think
the pretense of "media" is preserved ? edvertising!
assbot: The next version of Windows will be… Windows 10 | Ars
Technica
nubbins`: just
think, all cohen wanted people
to do was light a match
mircea_popescu: punkman: "nine
technical leaders" <<< ahahaha just
this.
nubbins`: you should see
the rest of
the pictures
the guy
took. not sure if drunk or couldn't find flash button
nubbins`: bounce lives in a city without
tunnels 8)
bounce: where is
this?
they have underground buses!
nubbins`: this is a
trial run, wanted
to make sure
the guy didn't suck before i get him
to post larger ones
nubbins`: to be fair,
that's an unusually large pole
BingoBoingo: mats_cd03: >> white last names with greatest likelihood: Yoder 98.1% Krueger 97.1% Mueller 97% Koch 96.9% schwartz 96.8% novak 96.8% schneider 96.7% schroeder 96.7% haas 96.7% << I've met 8 of
these surnames
hanbot: eh i guess
they didn't (searching
turns up some delightful headlines however, incl. "Rx Generic Viagra -
The Parrot Liberation Front"). anyway, i suppose he's free
to die
trying.
hanbot: did
the ELF never steal a cheetah?
thickasthieves: in
the end yeah, many such conservations even have
tours...
thickasthieves: we're like babies making sure
the edge of
the womb is within reach
thickasthieves: the problem i have is
that i
think it's okay
to be free enough
to do nothing all
the
time
hanbot: asciilifeform: indeed. does
thermodynamics preclude
there being moar options besides submission
to big bad or nothing,
tho?
thickasthieves: if you could do anything anytime, you might do nothing all
the
time
hanbot: so if i'm condensing
this correctly, you want
time in which
to not be
told what
to do (free
time), for which you must pay with an overarching adherence
to what you're
told
to do (living in us)?
mats_cd03: so lets cut
to
the chase. do you have a number for your 'fuck you money'?
bounce was just reading a
text about buddhism, from some
tibetan guy went and lived in
the yoosah. said it was all about freedom. and
that it's all in your mind.
that's right, freedom in your mind. -- maybe
this'll go over better if actually imprisoned in
the yoosah, maybe.
hanbot is attempting
to sort out
the
transactional mess here
danielpbarron: i like being
tired at
the end of
the day; it's
the all-year-long monotony of "conventional" jobs
that I loath
xanthyos: so now any future freeroll will be from
the rake
they've generated and
they can promote it without risking any overhead btc
hanbot: asciilifeform incidentally
this has left me wondering what free
time is worth if you don't perceive
that you're free. if you can still do all you want
to do,
though, great!
xanthyos: basically i
think
they never intended a 5 btc freeroll,
they were hoping
to sign up a lot of a ccounts in
the run-up
to a big freeroll, and hope
that some account generators would
then deposiot
xanthyos: haven't heard from stander since nitrogensports.eu opened and had a promised 5 btc freeroll on opening night,
then was conveniently ddossed, and promises a 10 btc freeroll
that has yet
to be scheduled
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin
to drop under $350 before November :: 32.73 B (58%) on Yes, 23.94 B (42%) on No | closing in 1 week 3 days | weight: 24`802 (100`000
to 1)
xanthyos: i can afford
to go bust, i'm not going all in
danielpbarron: i don't
think
the price will go much lower
than 380
xanthyos: someone on
tinychat
tried
to sell me btc, i set a price 5% under spot and was ready
to buy,
thesy stlled me out for hours,
then said
they changed
their mind
xanthyos: and only
then be able
to receive
the msg
xanthyos: omg danielpbarron is speaking
to me
hanbot: yes, but in
their own minds.
they'll contract flesh-eating muggerbugs or w/e and not be able
to find any
toilet paper.
hanbot: ah, so not an issue of "can't"
then, but of not being worth it? well
that's perfectly sound. most people i
talk
to about leaving
the us are on
the "can't" wagon.
xanthyos: ;;later
tell davidldubuc glad you dug your private key out of
that
train station dumpster.
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell mats_cd03 I'll prolly have a list soon
hanbot: which reminds me, recall mircea_popescu's bit with
the captured mouse in
the jar?
hanbot: asciilifeform well
that's cool, gotta work with what you've got and all. if what you've got is profession-dictated structure,
then sure, i can see it. it's an uncomfortable
thought but at some point it may become necessary
to weigh
the importance of
that structure against
the importance of freedom.
bounce: apparently
that's all
they need
to keep
ticking.
bounce: the state religion for domestic consumtion (the pun is mandatory, citizen).
the one for export is called "democracy". and
the motivation is "let's find us something
to make war against"
punkman: asciilifeform: what
the hell do I know, I'm far away
hanbot: well if you can and want
to use assumptions about
the space outside,
that works.
the problem is
those assumptions may well be poor given data collection capabilities from inside
the box, and for all you know you're being fed data
to make you
toil over impossible suits for
the purpose of keeping you inside.
hanbot: hehe how's one supposed
to do such rational calculations from inside a closed box?
hanbot: and it may not be
the place per se, love for a certain avenue or whatnot, but fear of what's left when x certification or y language mastery doesn't matter so much anymore.
hanbot: eh, it's hard for people not
to
take it personally. i won't eat
their sammiches, ergo i despise
them!
hanbot: kinda like getting served a bad meal at some restaurant and deciding you're not going
there anymore, whether it's
the only restaurant in
town or not, whether
that's where all your friends go, etc.
hanbot: in
terms of physical stuff i left
the us with a suitcase. more important imo was actually letting go of
the place itself and one's place within it --possibly never
to be reunited.
hanbot: well naturally varies from one person
to
the next. if
there were an omnipotent list it'd effectively remove
the likely most widespread item: fear.
hanbot: food and shelter are a lot easier
to acquire when you let go of stuff you don't need.
that latter part
tends
to be harder.
hanbot: <asciilifeform> -- also you will need
to remove little embedded shrapnel of X from inside your head.
this may be
the hardest part for some people << always a bitch.
the good kind,
tho'.
