chetty: normally I support
the way he does
that, it really does make people
think. But everything has limits
ThickAsThieves: he's playing
to your sensitivities, which, by nature, is bound
to be insensitive
chetty: I
think rape is a
topic he should stay off, at least until he gets raped and knows what it is
chetty: well I
think
that article is a prime example of
the confusion between sex/rape and assault/rape. he makes
the long standing point about not knowing what you dont know but
then it gets messy
pankkake: (I haven't read
the article yet, I'm 3 behind…)
pankkake: "a
test of your filters". eh, I guess
this is one of
the best descriptions so far
Mats_cd03: my poor american education
tells me you have
to be wed and spawn
to be classed so
ThickAsThieves: chetty
think of it
this way, do you believe
that mp
thinks women should literally be raped? I assume you'd answer No. In
that case, what is he really
trying
to say? Or, at worst, what point can be extracted from
the
trolling.
This is
the nature of most mp rants and provocation. Each a
test of your filters.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I was
thinking
the other 28 day cycle...
BingoBoingo: Hmmm... pankakke's masterpiece of #b-a blogs pissing on Doge seems
to be a Maybe, but it is a slow news day...

the front page longer...

punkman: "One hippo is
to blame for
the move upriver. Hippos live in harems.
The alpha male at
the Hacienda is known as El Viejo -
The Old Man - and he is very powerful"
punkman: "How much
the hippos like Colombia can be judged from how much sex
they are having. In Africa
they usually become sexually active between
the ages of seven and nine for males, and nine and 11 for females, but Pablo Escobar's hippos are becoming sexually active as young as
three."
assbot: 0881422D: Stock Quote - Winklevoss Bitcoin

ThickAsThieves: "The weakest point of my company was management," said Mr. Karpelès, who was
the sole executive of
the company.
jurov: "yes i have loads of old spreadsheets." yay,
the stuff
that makes plants grow
punkman: pankkake: also found a hack I could copy from another app. It checks window size, makes a full-sized background,
then pastes your smaller image on
the right coordinates.
pankkake: some friends
tried
to do something similar (though it was
to use existing applications), but it went nowhere
too
pankkake: right, I've seen
that one before. but as I understand it, he merged
the shell and
the
terminal emulator
pankkake: I love browsing with
the "controversial" sort
assbot: r/dogecoin is
turning into r/bitcoin : dogecoin
punkman: guess I'll have
to popup another window for graphs
punkman: I just figured out how
to do clickable
text
that opens a URL in browser
pankkake: or at least, mainly, since you can use
the mouse in some console applications…
pankkake: you might say "GUIs", but I want
them in screen, in ssh, and be keyboard driven only
pankkake: I've
trolled all week, I'm nearing
the end of my streak
BingoBoingo: pankkake: How
trollish are you feeling
today?
pankkake: if someone still doubted
this guy had serious mental
troubles
fluffypony: will put up a blog post later
today when I get a moment
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: quite nice so far, but all I've really done is arrive, have a few drinks, and
then have breakfast
mircea_popescu: ‘It’s so dark’ a still ignorant
third friend completed. Couldn’t see her complexion, probably because it was in fact so dark. She wasn’t black, but
that’d be something, right?
mircea_popescu: i never met an intelligent young man
that couldn't read it
decimation: would you say
the portion of youth in romania who speak english is equal
to argentina's portion?
assbot: Looking at
the art world over Adrian Ghenies shoulder and why I hate it or love it. Not sure.
mircea_popescu: otherwise
tgere;'s little value
to just you know, making a web url alias
mircea_popescu: well if you run your own node(s) with good peerage it'd come from
there
mircea_popescu: having a few dedicated
trusted watchers certainly cheaper
than "everyone" doing
their own watching, and certainly better
than current situation (where most everyone doesn't do any)
FabianB: hmm.. will
think about dblspent
mircea_popescu: kinda larger sort of investment
to make it go, i guess.
mircea_popescu: well it may be useful if you're into
the nitty gritty of it, merchants could always query your service if in doubt
mircea_popescu: i
think it only appears demographic because
there's allignment between
the actual causes and demographics.
FabianB: "<+mircea_popescu> FabianB what's unconfirmed do again ?" << number of unconfirmed
transactions in btc network
decimation: so it's a demographic
thing, seems
to me
decimation: people vote
the party
their parents voted generally
mircea_popescu: it's like asking me if
the median fridge user knows about
the carnot cycle
decimation: you
think
the median voter knows about committee appointments?
mircea_popescu: lol
the only reason
they get re-elected is
the seniority system
decimation: I suppose
there's a reason
that
the Washington Monument is a giant phallus, welcoming
the incoming classes of young interns
decimation: I guess
the shame of
the institution doesn't attach
to its individual members
decimation: good point, except in
the former case
they would be considered pond scum
mircea_popescu: ask anyone, would
they rather fuck a bunch of women, or would
they rather not fuck at all but be regarded by
their peers as a modern casanova ?
decimation: I'd say most democratic systems have created
this situation anyway. What kind of person wants
to be a bureaucrat who appears
to be in charge yet can affect nothing?
mircea_popescu: and
they put in padded cells
the sorts of idiots
that wish
to spend
their
time running for an office instead.
mircea_popescu: i'd be kinda curious
to see how a country worked where
the cure for insanity was 2 years in parliament.
decimation: like for instance, your brain has
the crazy
mircea_popescu: just as long as you don't
try curing
things
that don't have a cure
mircea_popescu: by
the latter criterion i'd guess medicine is mostly successful
mircea_popescu: but currently it's mostly regarded as "the health of
the population" is a
thing.
mircea_popescu: do you suppose medicine is responsible for all health ? or just for
those cases it picks up ?
decimation: why should someone in
this age have a different conceit?
decimation: the history of medicene is mostly about
trying
to heal people but failing miserably
mircea_popescu: most of
the comments are derping about
the guy's identity
mircea_popescu: maybe i should spend my money printing fliers of
this guy's blog instead.
mircea_popescu: has made no progress in almost 20 years, let alone
ten, a claim no other medical specialty can make, and
the
truth which cannot be spoken out loud. Hence an exam.
mircea_popescu: thing else? A few new medicines have come out,
though none of
them appeared on
the
test either.
There's money
to be made on
the west coast using giant magnets, (fortunately) also not on
the
test. So? Was
the ABPN worried I'd forget how
to use MAOIs? I'm never going
to use
them, I have enough problems monitoring Xanax.
The astonishing
truth is
that despite millions of dollars and hundreds of academic careers psychiatry
mircea_popescu: The logic of a 10 year MOC exam is
to keep us up
to date, so it's fair
to ask: what in psychiatry has changed in
ten years, what are
the major advances? Depakote was discovered
to be
the default maintenance mood stabilizer despite no evidence supporting
this, but
that fell into disuse at a
time oddly coinciding with its patent expiration, which is suspicious but I'm no epidemiologist. Anyway, it wasn't on
the
test. Any
mircea_popescu: i really can't see myself getting a license from anyone
to anyting.
decimation: well, why else would you be
trying
to hoard CME credits?
decimation: are you working on maintaining your medical license with
the state?
mircea_popescu: I can get 1 CME every 25-50 seconds, depending on my ability
to click "b".
decimation: what portion of humanity would commit suicide if
they were
transported
to 100 AD sans iphones?
decimation: I
think most women (quite practically) would rather die
than live in mad max land
decimation: and
the parts
that aren't are bezzle-priced
decimation: I guess my real point is
that much of DC is an uninhabitable mad max land
