hanbot: never been stuck in a gravity well, but i find escape from most anything hinges on ability
to recognize and part with
things
that aren't needed. escape based on what one'd rather keep/is fond of mostly consists of waiting afaik.
hanbot: why not
the debate regarding whether people drowning in puddles should be given a swat?
bounce: so, where do I pull me some new non-tainted passports out of
the passport dispenser?
hanbot: asciilifeform> unfortunately
the only pill against
the problem is: suitcase, airplane, new (non-usaschwitz) passport << which is why using app as palliative is particularly heinous (or particularly attractive depending on user sanity)
dignork: doesn't scale
to group sex
though
dignork: punkman: not sure about legality, but
there is a cypherpunk solution: video recording crypted by 3 keys (Shamir's scheme), 2 keys needed
to decode, 1 key at court, 2 other keys are of
the involved parties
bounce: "help
them"? it'll claim
the rights and fsck
the students.
punkman: I
think
the university should just film everything, help
them pay off
that debt
punkman: "The legislature is
telling state universities
to more aggressively involve
themselves in
their students' sex lives."

to Sex' iPhone App Already? - Hit & Run : Reason.com
hanbot: all while catering
to what insecure users would actually like, which is broadcasting
their conquests, real or imagined,
to
the world.
hanbot: let's leave out
the question of whether you should fuck if your decision making relies on a dumbed-down cosmo quiz and pepper
the name of
the
thing with "hot" and "trendy"
hanbot: punkman
that good2go piece reads like advertising
assbot: /bruces Nobody wants
to see Buffet naked.

punkman: "nine
technical leaders wrote a report, entitled IEEE CS 2022, surveying 23 innovative
technologies
that could change
the industry by
the year 2022" < didn't mention bitcoin, because what is a computer and how do I even use it

mircea_popescu: nobody even knew
that's how
the roman matrons dressed.
mircea_popescu: you could say
that before angie duff of derpytown, montana
thought
to dress in a sheet for her school play role as a roman matron
bounce: (which is
the only
things
that counts. provincials.)
mircea_popescu: so maybe we get
to see
the first one party system in history where people enthusiastically support
the idea.
mircea_popescu: usians are notoriously idiotic in
that
they act all smug about how
they're special
to have had an axe handle shoved up
the butt.
bounce: and it'd fsck with
the sport of brinkmanship
bounce: won't happen.
this schizophrenic one party system has a serious aversion
to
truth in politics.
mircea_popescu: maybe you get
to have some actual fun and
the same candidate is endorsed by both caucuses
bounce: yet another "yes we can"-campaign
then?
mircea_popescu: bounce nah, democrats never lose an election again, for as long as
the pretense of a usa is maintained hence.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 pretty much central europeans are
the us repository of whiteness.
bounce: on
that note, next after obamaman will be what, a republican, maybe a
tea-partier, and he'll go make war on whose asses?
mike_c: and for
the record, moving sucks.
mike_c: ;;later
tell hanbot it's working now. looks like it was a problem
talking
to bitbet server. improving
the error message is on
the
todo list.
thanks for
the bug report.
chetty: hahahaha:
tweet:
There's not much room left under
the Obama bus.
bounce: rode
to school in
the warped bus, eh
mats_cd03: oughta develop a dope addiction. balance
things out.
mats_cd03: being born a german jew would probably be equivalent
to living life on easy mode
Dimsler: lol
those are all predmoninatly german / jew
mats_cd03: i have met people with all of
those surnames
thickasthieves: yeha huff sounds like some euro name
that got chopped during immigrations
Dimsler: looks like 91 / 92 was
the ashleys

mats_cd03 trying
to evaluate likelihood of being detained over meth spoon
mats_cd03: i could not ascertain whether 'ashley huff' is a common name for whites or blacks
through research
bounce: 4 is random enough for me,
thanks
bounce: doesn't say what
the bond was set at
mircea_popescu: suppose you
tell me what number you'd like put on it and we can both go home having recreated
the entire us state in five minutes.
bounce: could even work out what's supposed
to be
the optimal speed
through
the system and so what
the size of
the various budgets like for forensic labs should be
bounce: so
the question is more of a "can we put some numbers on
this?", of about
the same accuracy as
typical economic numbers like GDP
bounce: or we could consider
that accounting seems pretty solid on
the outside but
then proceeds
to consist of lots and lots of handwaving. "what's
this worth? well, uhm... how about $thismuch?"
mircea_popescu: the uncertainity principle is exactly due
to
their being quantified
bounce: well, if you go
there I say "uncertainty principle" and energy and matter go out
the window
too
mircea_popescu: the moral of
this koan being
that nothing is quantifiable, except for
the
things which are already : energy and matter. not space, not
time, not
the chain of causality.
mircea_popescu: for instance, hand't i been a gangster when i was in my
teens, i could have gone
to school, where i'd have learned many valuable skills and in
time maybe even ended up a major revolutionary entrepreneur.
mircea_popescu: bounce
to rehash a limb of
the previous discussion, you maybe heard
that
the best way
to sink a good start-up is a bad revenue source early on. same
thing with your
thief :
the opportunity cost of being a criminal is major in
that you don't feel as much pressure
to develop more useful
traits.
chetty: (we leave out
the month she probably ought
to get for eating
that crud, but I digress)
mircea_popescu: which is a lot more
than
the statal excrescency on human society.
mircea_popescu: but
this is conventional and as such brings into question convention altgoether, as a device.
mircea_popescu: it's deeper
than
the govt legitimacy problem,
too. it's
the conventional nature of it
that's
the major destructive factor.
mircea_popescu: so why even bother with
those violin classes she was saving up for ?
mircea_popescu: it's
the fact
that she now can't plan, because lo and behold, randomly sent
to jail.
mircea_popescu: bounce it's not
the month in jail, just like
the problem with stealing isn't really
that omg, someone's going
to miss what you stole.
bounce: the fear of it and
the government losing legitimacy, yes. wasn't
thinking just
the economic side of
things.
chetty: per
trilema latest article ...insecurity
bounce: wonder if you can quantify
the damage
to society by
things like
that month in jail for essentially no reason
bounce: geddit.com, all
the jokes from reddit
mircea_popescu: fucking oneself ain't all
that it's cracked up
to be anyway.
thickasthieves: telling an asshole
to go fuck himself isnt
that expensive, but getting him
to agree and understand is
