asciilifeform: i actually had one of those strap belt things, for carrying the thing
Mocky: and that hum, lol
asciilifeform: ( and besides, 21 in. thing was, what , 80 pounds, nuffin to write home about mass-wise )
Mocky: don't get me wrong, i loved mine back in the day
asciilifeform: not really equaled since ( tho supposedly the recent led panels just about reproduce the old crt phosphours -- but i cannot bring myself to buy, they suffer some 1980s-esque 'burn in' )
asciilifeform: Mocky: trinitron was (imho) the acme of display
Mocky: i haven't done trinitron in like 12 years.
asciilifeform: !#s trinitron
asciilifeform: Mocky: hey, at least you dun have the pain of mircea_popescu , who left a whole trinitron behind in old world
Mocky: yeah, laptop in a laptop bag. has been my primary workstation for some years now. except not packing the 43in monitor!
Mocky: BingoBoingo, thx, I'm sure i'll have questions aplenty
asciilifeform: d00d also had a number of items re islamic theology, schisms, etc. but none of it locatable from my perch
asciilifeform: Mocky: the item in $thread, btw, was by one a. s. tritton , 1943
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Remember if you have any questions that I did live in a travel accomodation for more than half a year.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 16:14 asciilifeform: i'm going from a very vintage brit b00k, with very flavourful examples, e.g. 'donkey is poor man's horse', 'i killed the man whose uncle killed my father', 'to be killed is the noblest death', etc in this spirit
Mocky: feels like a mad dash with only two weeks before lift off BingoBoingo. new luggage arrived today.
asciilifeform: spread like a lolcat meme, and mostly vanished away as the old students died away, perestroika 'modernity' took hold and brought manufactured dopes
asciilifeform: very peculiarly by ameri-lights, there was no 'dope market', 100% of the eaters made own
asciilifeform: in '80s su, there was a period when undergrads 'rediscovered' meth, on own power, as ephedrine was openly sold by the litre 'for asthmatic'
Mocky: i wanted to try it. was dealing with a weight problem
asciilifeform: sounds like one of those dopes that is 'its own punishment', like krokodil
asciilifeform: ( in usgistan proper, they even have an 'analogues act' )
BingoBoingo: In US this probably means now Caffeine + mystery kicker
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hm, i thought these long ago verboten in reich
asciilifeform: ( in the spirit of the old 'bath salts' thing )
deedbot: http://bimbo.club/?p=25 << Bimbo.Club - Time wounds all heels
BingoBoingo: Latest is the Girl testifies Thursday morning or never. Confirmation vot has to happen at arbitray time in the afternoon or the hearing have to start over because of rules wank
BingoBoingo: That's what the current 80's Party Groping fight generating all the noise right now is about. Pantsuit stretching to beat/delay a Trump nominee on parlimentary procedure.
asciilifeform: ( they have this 'confirmations' thing )
BingoBoingo: What, after packing the courts and other appointables through 2019 old clown man isn't going to hammer the re-election?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at this rate i fully expect that he, clitler, and the rest, will succumb to old age long before they see so much as a fine
BingoBoingo: Anyways, because Bush and Obama buried http://trilema.com/2013/the-pulizer-prostitute/#selection-95.0-95.405 it stands that Podesta just might get cuffed around the time of the 2020 Iowa primary
asciilifeform: ( wonder, does saudi subject lose his head if it gets out that he went to london and had a whiskey ? )
asciilifeform: i dun see how the exact constant makes a practical diff tho
mircea_popescu: you know, ftr, the case there was under 17.
asciilifeform: phunphakt, this is one of those 'national seekoority' things they claim extraterritoriality on -- fuck a 17.99999yo in paris, bang, you're assange
asciilifeform: trinque: aha, gotta clerk doj with these, they're primo material
trinque: then they can enter 20s hateful, emotionally damaged, etc
asciilifeform: considering that usg apparatus runs ~100% on them at this point
trinque: anyone who had clingy teenaged girlfriends growing up oughta have same data
asciilifeform: trinque: well yes, gotta keep up the production of nedeflorenas somewhow
trinque suspects the ritual is about avoiding sexual imprinting at a critical age
asciilifeform: ^ su had ~similar article in penal code, and was called this by typical zeks.
a111: 0 results for "cracking the furry safe", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=cracking%20the%20furry%20safe
asciilifeform: !#s cracking the furry safe
asciilifeform: i actually have a d00d, at the outer foggy reaches of my l2, who did 5y for 17yo.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's the 1 thing ameritards all seem to agree on. gun, dope, 'illegal' finance, etc cases, sometimes jury nullifies. but 'fucked 17yo? 20 to life' seems to be solidly a-ok by typical ameri-idjit
asciilifeform: ( or if you like, castration cult rose up in rome, they tried to ddt, but... ) lol
asciilifeform: castration cult rose up in old europistan, french, spanish, tried to stomp it out, failed, y'know the rest
mircea_popescu: you mean these are on social media ?
asciilifeform: 'puritan ethic' or how did they call it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who ? all the wizened derps, starting with that defrocked general, and all the way down to typical ameri-konsoomer, the one who gets to maybe see cuntlips when he's 'been good' to picket fence wife and bought her n-th house
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine who'd seriously claim fucking teen's offensive ; but i can certainly see the schadenfreunde.
asciilifeform: the unquenchable hatred of the elliots for d00d who had some sort of quasi-desirable sex somewhere , somehow , also , i suspect, helps
asciilifeform: there's a reason they try to set up 'fucked 17yo' for these, it is a kind of gold standard, rather like the old 'trotskyite counter-revolutionary activity', tends to put a cork in all discussion in derposphere by harnessing the healthy hatred for podesta-style pedo, insta-alchemizes accusation into 'guilt', etc ☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ what they called this system in the old su.
mircea_popescu: (pro tip : cunt therein depicted is attached to 15yo)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the usual reddit-idjit red herring. ( as if he ~had~ to fuck a 17.9 y.o. whore, to be put on assange list, and would somehow not have sufficed that he wore leather shoes, or maybe said unkind word re j00z, or torrented 'star wars ixxxv' or whatever )
BingoBoingo: Well, the derps who figured the pedo thing justified their demographic objections to Milo tend to be referring to Wilson's entrapmant as a such
asciilifeform: ( erry bit as snoar as it sounds, iirc . but somewhat surprised that 0 log . )
asciilifeform: or, moar recent example, the (gassed yet?) wilson d00d. apparently on top of the cnc thing, also made a 'hatreon', 'nazi' clone of patreon pantsuitism
BingoBoingo: That's what his twitter/reddit "supporters" figured too when the maybe pedo thing broke
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pretty typical, as i understand, for 'rear-wheel-drived' fellas ( btw i wonder what they're called in ro )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I mean as in the guy took acting classes, Hollywood didn't call back, decided to do the irony schtick for a buck. Only sligtly less human view.
mircea_popescu: basically, the zek's model is elliot ; but the pantsuitklatura's model is hamby.
asciilifeform: but from their own eyes, naturally, 'mystery'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: from human pov, ~all~ of what these derps do is 'purely performative' -- rather like those ruminants whose horns are set at such angle that they can never actually ding one another
asciilifeform: 'i sat and preached to this pig sty for decade, whaddayamean pigs dun win elections'
BingoBoingo: Milo was purely performative, like the Police Special Forces
mircea_popescu: see, but this is precisely what i'm saying... "why is my community organizing not doing anything".
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in so far as i can tell, d00d was actually dumb enuff to believe that 'reddit right is a political force to be reckoned with' or somesuch
asciilifeform: in mostly unrelated lulz, there are apparently noads who shove a couple 100 MB (!) of bastard blox into a connected trb, prior to the latter throwing the ban switch ( because of the idjit shitoshi networking routine, actual disconnect happens a good 10-20sec after ban ) ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> nah, some "gamergate" dood. << That was Milo, did gamergate, tried to jump on the trump train as token jewish homosexual bragging about BBC trophies, that discovery of his audience free status
mircea_popescu: o damn, the "law of attraction" magix. not to be forgotten.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> the 'right', 'nazi', 'weev', etc , types , not even reached level where can discuss 'community', they're still seated firmly in the comfortable usg.provocateur 'right bottle of pepsi' theatre << They also fall into the pulp "Laws of Power" fanfic things so every single one imagines themselves the BIGGEST, leaderest, etc
asciilifeform: ( btw prior to reading the hambly link i had nfi that 'world', what to call it, existed )
mircea_popescu: but because his ~earned~ magic, of communityorganizing, failed to deliver the result printed on box.
asciilifeform: aaa ! him! that was the item upstack
mircea_popescu: that'd be the prototypical "community organizer" who is very angry not because, as elliot, "his birthright" of tall blond nubiles was denied him
asciilifeform: the fundamental lul is that it is impossible to explain to such patient exactly why money printer spilled forth tonnes of luscious green for his predecessor but doesn't want to for him
mircea_popescu: so in short, what i'm working towards here, is that besides the elliot, who is the icon of the first pass, earnest and open, "salt of the earth" ustard, there's also http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-16#1850611 ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( there was a related mircea_popescu piece re paulgraham et al, in re how they tried to cargocult-revive orig 'dotcom' bacchanalia )
asciilifeform: 'spreading worked, but where is the eating!, reddit got to eat! we read it , on reddit'
mircea_popescu: "but teach, this is so unfair, those other guys didn't even do this much!" sorta complaints.
mircea_popescu: anyway, leaving behind the point -- there's a lot of frustration among "community organizers" (as the niggers prefer to call themselves) when they DO manage to community-organize and nothing fucking happens still.
asciilifeform: with the opposite charge, but aha same basic particle
asciilifeform: 'what do you mean i was talking to /dev/null, where is my purpose nao!'
asciilifeform: but there's, yes, 9000 laments like this
asciilifeform: hm nfi then
asciilifeform: ( did some shilling for 'new, exciting' trump, then saw what summed to and went to the bottle )
asciilifeform: iirc the milo antonopolis d00d
mircea_popescu: meh can't fucking find it. some pantsuit-in-alt-colors prop derping about how unfair it is that his followers don't follow, and how much he spent having a security detail to eat sushi
a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 17:18 weevlos: trinque: we are a media publication. our power and capital comes from the number of visitors we have to the site. we aim to transform through culture. if normal people cannot visit our site we are not accomplishing our goal
asciilifeform: y'know, the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1756992 pit. ☝︎
asciilifeform: the 'right', 'nazi', 'weev', etc , types , not even reached level where can discuss 'community', they're still seated firmly in the comfortable usg.provocateur 'right bottle of pepsi' theatre
mircea_popescu: now i have to ;/
asciilifeform: which in particular? there's '9000' ~indistinguishable ones
mircea_popescu: i'm too lazy to dig up that twittertwat's lament recently linked.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "alt right" dorks have no genuine driver for community. the pedos gotta trade the pics, there's no way out of this, they'll commune. the "nazis" don't have the driver, which is why they don't manage to amount to much, and hence plaintive lulz all around.
a111: Logged on 2014-02-01 13:03 mircea_popescu: incidentally, this is how idiots like keiser work, too. all the obscure web "financial experts", or bet picking experts, or so on work on the same business model :
