Framedragger: (it's more like them just talking in the film, i must say it is really
a nice watch)
Framedragger: another film recommendation by association - documentary: "whore's glory" - by one glawogger (who died from malaria or somesuch while filming in liberia or somewheresuch),
a bunch of interviews with whores in bangladesh, thailand etc
☟︎ Framedragger: that's
a good point. why not
a good late night chat with beautiful russian girl.
phf: the kind of people who think that the only better way to say no to
a beautiful russian sex girl is to do it over
a form
Framedragger: " The phone rang shortly after I drifted off. No more jet lag; I jumped out of bed and picked up the phone. Now I'll find out who's been calling, I thought. ``Would you like beautiful Russian sex girl?''
a woman asked. ``No, thank you,'' I said. Couldn't you just hand out forms at the front desk? I thought. I went back to sleep. "
phf: i want to believe that there's
a dusty attic somewhere on upenn campus, grandfathered in of course, with
a library and
a secret liquor store, where boys wearing ascots meet to discuss their progress at becoming men
phf: so it's
a divergent process, you have mediocrity taking over, while excellence retreating
phf: i have two or three friends who were proud of their ivy fraternities, and i checked, umd had
a chapter for one of them, stopped qualifying sometime in the 80s
phf: umd is
a public school, there's not necessarily "tradition of excellence" when it comes sororities/fraternities. it's the least common denominator herding kind of thing, with corresponding activities
phf: actually, this is pretty hilarious. because you can walk
a reasonably straight line and get: compsci, electric engineering, chemistry, math, student center, political science, cultural studies, arts, business buildings in that order
phf: right, there's
a very distinct continuum, with compsci building on one end and rhsmith of business on the other
mircea_popescu: at
a time the usian methodists etc were trying hard to resist that tide all over east coast mill towns
mircea_popescu: you don't fucking want to gain approval in the herd at the cost of diminishing herd quality. who the fuck runs
a herd like this!
mircea_popescu: somehow the idiocy of self-hat-stealing is never evident. and it's not just
a matter of politics. single-wife marriages are generally exercises in "trying to keep the woman as stupid as possible". why, exactly ? not like she's not your woman, if you make her dumb who the fuck is going to defend you when you run into
a guy with
a dozen women and
a fleet of battleships ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but it also produces
a 90% majority of people who nevertheless can't "influence the elections"
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "
A Robert Emery 2007 report found that about one-third of Washington residents are functionally illiterate, compared to
a national rate of about one in five."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody in the 250k dc residents who vote there are slaves, gtfo. it's 100% middle class jewish with unwarranted aspirations and
a drug habit.
mircea_popescu: the ~only way
a "professional" bureaucracy may survive is if it has no particular strong preference.
mircea_popescu: so as per
a) it'd be west virginia (dude got 68.63% o.o) or else the 3rd district of nebraska. as per b) i guess pennsylvania. hold it in harrisburg ftw.
mircea_popescu: why even fucking entertain
a bad restaurant where the waitresses (with singer-songwriter aspirations) and busboys (rappers!) didn't even vote for you ?
mircea_popescu: well logically, wouldn't you go hold your inauguration in either
a) the state where you got the highest % or else b) in the state where hillary got the greatest margin below what she expected ? say something like "there's some people in this country who think they're better than everyone else, and i don't want to hang out with them"
a111: Logged on 2017-01-15 15:08 mircea_popescu: "But along with the celebrations, there will be
a week of protest against
a man who insulted Mexicans and Muslims and boasted about groping women. There were demonstrations against Richard Nixon in 1973 and George W Bush in 2001, but nothing on the scale Trump faces in Washington,
a liberal bastion where he took just 4% of the vote (even Bush managed 9% in 2000). " << maybe dude moves the capital to salt lake city. wouldn't T
mircea_popescu: "Regardless of how you view Trump and his positions, his election has led to
a deep, deep sense of uncertainty and that will cast
a long shadow over Davos," said Jean-Marie Guehenno, CEO of International Crisis Group,
a conflict resolution think-tank. Moises Naim of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was even more blunt: "There is
a consensus that something huge is going on, global and in many respects unprecedent

☟︎ mircea_popescu: This is unlike any inauguration we’ve seen,” said Ben Wikler, Washington director of the progressive group MoveOn.org. “We’ve never seen
a counter-inauguration that dwarfs the crowd at the inauguration itself. It will be unmistakeable where the energy is. It will be in the broad and diverse movement to oppose the Trump agenda.” <<->>
http://trilema.com/2016/and-they-wont-fucking-yield/ mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, everyone agrees the us is
a colony now, but from that it doesn't exactly follow which bits fall into which spheres of influence does it.
mircea_popescu: and in other things you had nfi about, "Northern Light Group, LLC is
a company specializing in strategic research portals, enterprise search technology, and text analytics solutions."
mircea_popescu: mats yeah but if trump withdraws em it's basically
a two week vacation.
mircea_popescu: of having an array (which is what "archive" means, it's not
a fucking list)
mats: i suppose the one interesting thing from the confirmation hearing is the stated intention to put the National Guard and various branch Reserve components in
a state of readiness as it was in the decade following 9/11
mircea_popescu: in other news, i just got
a pingback for an article you published in 2014
mircea_popescu: ahaha that's
a right proper mess of
a page you got there
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes page is for "pages" which is
a weird concept, but stuff like my eulora shop for instance

a single.php and an index.php ; the former gets loaded when
a definite article is being viewed, the latter when trilema.com/ root is being viewed, and pulls
a random article. yours could do something else.
mircea_popescu: nah, somebody paid 100 rubles for "
a service" and in the process created
a whole fucking club of burker ging eaters droning on about THE WEB INDUSTRY IN RUSSIA
mircea_popescu: i saw
a pretty lulzy thing in this vein today, there was
a horde of zombies going by an advertising to
a tv show about zombies.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 22:14 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what's the mp-wp blessed method for
a custom root page? i've tried writing
a front-page.php (which mp-wp didn't eat, suggesting that front-page.php was
a post 2.7 introduction? their documentation doesn't do time travel, so the archaeology is tough); and twiddling home.php (but i can't get home.php to behave conditionally depending on whether it's the site root)

☝︎☟︎ shinohai: I'm gonna lol if rumors of Balaji Srinivasan getting
a Trump position are true. Just too lulzy.
BingoBoingo: corn isn't so much
a plural as it's
a bulk
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 00:23 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes ; moreover i'm talking about
a very specific "intellectual" thing. not in any sense intended for mass consumption. intended for perenity.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell indiancandy im quarter black does that make me
a sister << Traditionally yes, because black blood is stronger
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo you recall lafond's piece in which he wonders why is it women think it
a good idea to try and stick their fingers up the anus while sucking cock ? << will have to look

☟︎ pete_dushenski: really just
a point in favour of ben_vulpes' stance on such automobiles
pete_dushenski: "In reality I'm just hoping that maintenance doesn't end up costing me more then depreciation would over five years ownership of
a new minivan."
indiancandy: im quarter black does that make me
a sister
phf: if
a brother's going to run this country, i want it to be
a proper nigga
Framedragger: esp. the ending, the connection is maybe *too* blunt, even: Ed goes "You get some distance on it. And, all those twists and turns, well they’re the shape of your life . . . Seeing it whole, gives you some peace.” vs meursault getting
a kind of climax in his cell, pacing in circles, accepting 'benign indifference' of the universe, or somesuch (been long time ago too)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you recall lafond's piece in which he wonders why is it women think it

Framedragger: ah, that's
a wholly other angle for looking at the thing - interesting...
mircea_popescu: "better die in battle with untarnished honor than be
a slave again on the old homeland"
Framedragger: oh wow, that's not the worst thing to be become part of an anthem for sure! (if google translate is to be believed; the latter part is translated as "...than slaves upon the old ground" which has
a nice ring to it)
mircea_popescu: to quote
a shot guy, "mai bine mort in lupta cu glorie deplina decit sclavi iarasi pe vechiul pamint."
mircea_popescu: why land anywhere, buy
a bunch of local politicians/judges/policemen etc, make
a small stronghold.
Framedragger: worth
a visit in the summer. peninsula (Neringa) is nice, would recommend
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: the island of post-soviet (homeland) for the time being :) it has
a proper summer, friends, forests, sea and lower living costs; i don't know where i will land after that that, if anywhere. for the first time not worried, tho.
ben_vulpes: i'll take
a copy of 0.8.2 as well, why not.
phf:
a complete graph (with no trimming) ~could~ indicate missing antecedents, but only if you split vpatches by files first. so instead of having m files for n vpatches you have m*n vpatches, with one file per one vpatch. in that case
a missing link will show
a vpatch without antecedent
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-14#1602646 << actually this makes no difference if i do or if i don't. the correct solution that's sitting on my laptop is to explicitly check for exhaustive anticedents, and then render
a missing link if there's one missing
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not according to archive.is ; maybe they invented
a whole new web or something.
ben_vulpes: i went
a-hunting for an 0.8.6 binary for
a friend recently
a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 03:08 mircea_popescu: this is utterly incomprehensible. so there's this bunch of bots that keep making empty post requests, identify as googlebot. here's
a sample :
mircea_popescu: (you may be excused from thinking that's
a stupid question, as it is, but nevertheless the rust lingo is insane in this vein. "why can i not borrow
a boxed vector content as mutable" ie let's make up
a whole lingo of nonsense)
