asciilifeform: in this sense they 'beg' in usa likewise, lol

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730923 << it's more or less academic to asciilifeform , who is not a moneyman ☝︎

asciilifeform: the one in ro, for instance, appears to need 8 yrs of hanging around with usa shitpassport; 4 if you have 1e6 eur to sacrifice

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730566 << per asciilifeform's research, 'residency' is pretty easy to get just short of anywhere. the 1 gotcha is that you need an actual new passport if you want to be rid of usa pederasty, and those are separate and harder puzzle. ☝︎

asciilifeform: !!up cazalla

asciilifeform brb, teatime

asciilifeform: fat

asciilifeform: and from strictly the 23 crackpottery, they gave you passport ?!

asciilifeform: !!up cazalla

asciilifeform: not unless yer a famous frenchie or similar

asciilifeform: 100% su, and modern ru doesn’t give out nonresident passports.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-29#1730383 << asciilifeform just returned from ~15km grunt through bucharest ; quite the ‘neuromancer’ town ☝︎

asciilifeform: anybody who can work that thing in earnest, can’t be too deeply touched, is at least ‘functioning’ tard. ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-29#1730389 << srsly, someone still uses?! asciilifeform’s father used, in ‘80s. then asciilifeform used much laters, in usa, thing was quite gnarly, exponometer neverworked, demanded extinct sovbattery ☝︎

asciilifeform: the national bank has a gigantic glass window on the ground in front of it, into what looks like archaeological dig, deep catacomb underneath it

asciilifeform: ( i’d still rather live here than anywhere i’ve been in usa tho.. )

asciilifeform: diana_coman: almost reminds me of chicago

asciilifeform: ( though apparently worked great in timis )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu’s ‘legal to beat bums’ item is clearly failing to catch mice, so to speak, here.

asciilifeform: also i regret to inform that there are beggars and hobos in bucharest. the usual ones, and even some female ‘baba yaga’ looking specimens

asciilifeform: asciilifeform does not collect medals. though his own familymedals, pretty massive box, all ended up with collectors , helped pay for plane tickets in ‘92

asciilifeform: heh

asciilifeform: i’ll buy.

asciilifeform: ( i’ll believe him, from lack of whom else )

asciilifeform: any source other than herr pacepa for this detail ?

asciilifeform: but there are cases where a 2-3y poison would make sense, and sov chronicles are replete with insinuations that at least 1 such, existed

asciilifeform: i’d buy a ‘they’ll whack you with a hammer in alley, not with fancy scoped rifle firing poisoned dart’ angle

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: i disagree that the two are in any way similar.

asciilifeform: ‘atomic bullet’ !

asciilifeform: it was silly yea
