theres also a "blockchain doha" group with 103 members, I can reach out
to
a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 20:20 Mocky: i also reached out
to local bitcoin guy.
turns out
there are
two. one sells other buys. I reached out
the
the seller but no response yet.
The buyer doesn't have contact info listed and i don't have
the bitcoin
to answer his ad so haven't contacted yet.
lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
Mocky: place i was in had 1940's newspaper in
the walls
Mocky: they say it's not concrete,
that only exterior walls are concrete. but it looks and feels like concrete
to me. i can't understand what
they are calling it, "tabukla" ?
Mocky: i dont' know what
these interior walls are made of but
they are prying nails out with hammer without damaging it. def not like back home
Mocky: they live in constant misery, mostly leaving after a short
time
Mocky: in other observations, social pantsuits stand out like a sore
thumb here.
they can't stomach
the "racism" "classism" "mistreatment" "conditions for local women". it's a constant irritant
to
them,
they can't figure out how anyone here sleeps at night being party
to such
things
BingoBoingo rarity in Uruguay, only Panavox product is
the fridge
Mocky: i feel bad for my host,
trying
to get my ac fixed while dealing with
these clowns, and
thinks i'm just being gracious by saying it's not been bothering me
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, only
the fancy stuff is Samsung. Everything else Panavox or weird Euro brands
that opted out of
the 120v nonsense.
Mocky: lol
they promised "samsung AC" but brought brandless chinesium claiming "this is
the expensive one"
lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: the pantsuited hilarity herself both knew and said as much,
their entire line during elections is "this pays better". and
their constant fretful midging on
their own "sikrit" comms was all about hiow "apparently people don't care being paid
to be stupid nets
them slightly more
than what
they could get on own not being stupid".
mircea_popescu: all
the redditards are doing
that WHILE AT WORK. if
the govt didn't pay peons
to blue, whod
the fuck would ?
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck do you
think
the hot air circus even exists?
mircea_popescu: he's rehauling
the "obamacare" health bs. which he was fucking voted in
to do. snipping all sorts of blue nonsense in
the paybook, including surgery for disphorists.
☟︎ Mocky: and upgrade from
the chair
they used
the first
time
Mocky: considering
that
they are
too short
to reach
the unit and put ladder on my bed
to reach
the install point!
Mocky: oh hey,
the 3 indians return with a new ac unit 8:30pm. now arguing with my nigerian host over having brought a different brand
mircea_popescu: a different kind -- impersonal,
they don't want
to "Escape
to
there", but still.
mircea_popescu: and
this goes
the full spectrum, from furries&trannies
to ows&bernie sandals
to "internet security"
to bridgebuilding "technologies" and other haliburtons.
mircea_popescu: the idea
that
the us has anything meaningful or important
to say
to
the world belongs exactly same place microsoft belongs, and exactly for
the same reason.
mircea_popescu: which is how all woods are cut, you understand. a metal bit with an edge attached
to a wooden bit
they can relate
to.
mircea_popescu: nah,
too much pressure. your line is "this guy i know".
Mocky: maybe if i had couple girls
to polish
the dust off my crown as i walk from
the bar
to
the pool...
mircea_popescu: hey, you've been hanging out in
there / reading
trilema, what did you
think
that class was for ?
mircea_popescu: i am not kidding -- go
to
their house, explain what bdsm is, "looky what
this guy i know does with
the white women ~he owns~".
they'll listen
to
that in preference of fucking playstation.
Mocky: mircea_popescu, yeah next chapter
titled "depeche mode at
the four seasons"
mircea_popescu: i dunno who
told you
to spend your life on fucking java of all
things.
mircea_popescu: this guy
tho... you've been
there
two weeks, you already picked up
the scent ? not bad.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 19:10 Mocky: re meeting Qataris, I found
that 30-something aged men interested in business hang out at certain places on a daily basis. if you go and hang
there and get
to know
them, if
they like you
they may invite you
to majalis. which is
the regular practice of closing off half of
the home from women in
the evening and doing man cave shit
a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 19:03 Mocky: bitcoin is also illegal for banks
to exchange in. which apparently some wanted
to do but now central bank authority has banned
mircea_popescu: find
the spruce goose in
the hangar somewhere while at it, whainot
mircea_popescu: police picking
them up, you know, "you ok sr ?" "i'm fine. i'm fine. it's ok." "did you see a huge clucking airplane coming behind you flapping its wings, hopping up and down and clucking ?!"
mircea_popescu: muttering "i saw some
things man... i can't
tell anyone
the
things i saw..."
mircea_popescu: i suspect if you drove
that on
the highway at night most people would just park
the car and go out
mircea_popescu: but getting back
to
the hinged-wing airbus
thread : you could also add a modified horn... some hydraulics...
mircea_popescu: problem was very much "what does useless son say
to city guard" "oh, it's for decor" "not for stabbing other cicisbeos ?" "well... not usually..."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well what are
the Uber
taxi-ists going
to drive?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the jewel-encrusted lolsticks still packed some bite. it's just
they packed an urban bite.
Mocky: asciilifeform, I was
told
they have gold brick atms here
Mocky: and some vw looking
toyota busses
Mocky: all
the cars here are normal models you'd find in
the us, except
there are a few
toyota models I've never heard of: "fortuner" is one
BingoBoingo: There's landrovers here
too, and
the doinky commercial
trucks... No big rigs here
Mocky: if I had my ford expedition here, I'd be
the king of
the road. land rovers are a good bit smaller
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> still broke, but it still isnt' a problem. fan blows on me and I sleep fine. 3 day of rain in
the dessert. got soaked
today waiting for
taxi for 30 minutes during downpour which stopped
the moment i got in
the cab <<
The incredible similarities
to Uruguay
mircea_popescu: fuck, put some hinges on old airbus at
the wings, drive
THAT. not only big but also fucken
tall! and it can flap its wings!
Mocky: also,
that could be good advice in general
Mocky: vehicle size seems a status symbol. "if a bigger one is speeding up from behind, get out of
the way!"
Mocky: to my eyes, uniform includes shiny watch and a landrover, or lexus suv (with which
to intimidate slave labor on
the roadway)
mircea_popescu: Mocky srsly now,
these uber-elaborate heatsink-like items made
to wear on head, out of 22 carat gold... could be a
trent.
mircea_popescu: nothing says "king of
the world" quite like wearing 20lbs of lightning rod on head.
Mocky: i'm not wise
to
the ways of watches, wouldn't recognize a rolex. "shiny watch" works for my description
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 16:08 mircea_popescu:
the ones who won out of
the "go
to
the center of businessmen, pay for dialup modem by hour, write love letters
to fat white women, get
them
to come over with money, build house at euro standards for
tourist
trade" lottery.
mircea_popescu: bitch srsly need
to
tell
time for some reason, because wherever
they're going ain't gonna just wait
till
they get
there anyway or what is it, no woman in a loose fitted
top about
to point out "hey, we should get going if we're ever going
to make X" ?
Mocky: well when everyone wears
the exact same white robes everyday, a watch is pretty much only place on
the body for bling
mircea_popescu has not worn wristwatch in like decade+ now... who still does ? why would
they ?
