joecool: mircea_popescu: wall builders are usually good at
that
mircea_popescu: joecool maybe.
the
thing with
them is
that
they're really good at keeping secrets.
BingoBoingo: Honestly I
think China is selling designs
to SU now
mircea_popescu: tho if we're
to apply
the old yurpean wisdom, considering how fucking scared
the russians must be
to spend so much on
their sus...
the chinese must be pretty bad.
joecool: mircea_popescu: i would guess it doesn't really matter what, but
there will be a lot of whatever what is
mircea_popescu: and
to
top it all off, we don't even know what
the chinese are flying.
joecool: BingoBoingo: and congress is old and keeps earmarking more
tanks
BingoBoingo: Well on
the news
the USN is
talking about getting more EWAR variant F/A 18's but
the pentagon wants more money for vaporware F-35's because
they can
take off and land like a helicopter
BingoBoingo: Well,
the US killed
their most capable carriet based aircraft because Iran needed spare parts...
mircea_popescu: (they did have
the jewish elecwarfare upgrades
tho, which apparently are damned good)
mircea_popescu: and
these are people who can barely afford
the fuel
to fly
the damned rust buckets.
mircea_popescu: the romanian
team downed half
the us planes, and a bunch of french and dutch
mircea_popescu: the nato exercise in 2012 consisted of a romanian
team flying migs (old migs, mind you) as "the enemy"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah.
the migs, here's a funny story about
the migs :
mircea_popescu: chetty no doubt about it,
they're
the best union builds :D
chetty: but
the US planes were all designed and built according
to standards - and union rules and all,
they must be
the best
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: US only really advertised
the MIGs as potention OPFOR... Prolly for morale reasons
BingoBoingo: B-2 can fly from western Missouri
to western Missouri
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well,
there's
the B-2... ANd
that's about it.
BingoBoingo: Well, according
to
the Hollywood liason office SU just sells knock off plans
to china.
mircea_popescu: well
the problem is... strategic bombers are useless in
this context.
the russians can airplane-intercept
tomahawks as it is.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
the latest su can actually outfly sidewinders
BingoBoingo: The US pretty much only seems
to have
the solid win on strategic bombers... and if
those are needed
the war's been lost
BingoBoingo: US wins on ONGWTFBBQ planes, but
they don'e have many of
them... Most aren't approved for flight because pilots need oxygen
mircea_popescu: turns out it's not enough
to be really firmly convinced you're cool. gotta also do homework.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Crimea was sealed in
the NATO Libya intervention when
the French Raphaels outperformed
the new US aircraft
mircea_popescu: and obviously,
the little secret nobody wants
to share in
the english language propaganda machine is
that currently russian jets are about
two classes over anything nato can fly.
BingoBoingo: At least
the Black Sea doesn't seem like
ti will be a shooting war anytime soon
joecool: putin keepin
the pimp hand strong
mircea_popescu: much like
the crimeea. you can posutre all you want, but in
the realpolitik world crimeea was gone
the moment obama got raped over syria.
BingoBoingo: They've been sliding more muslin for
two decades now
mircea_popescu: snotty eu refused
to let
them in when
they had a chance, and much
to
their detriment, as a eu member
turkey would have definitely
taken
the eu out of any crisis
mircea_popescu: curious if
they finally
turn muslim, ataturk's memory and
the military can only go so far.
joecool: got worried when i saw
the link and
thought it was about me
joecool: literally lol'd @
that post
BingoBoingo: Oh,
the miners are digging into
the ATC bid wall nao
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell decimation as far as i recall
the
theory behind carbon dating and especialyl
the "constant decay" part has been under fire for decades.
mircea_popescu: dub more like found a good angle
to humiliated people with it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can probably laser/gamma/magnetic resonance for
the ink inside huh.
ozbot: Me at its finest pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves punkman benkay it's wences' new
thing. he previously made
the same exact
thing (lemon) which apparently got sold.
BingoBoingo: 1950 was around
the
time fiat reached its maximum leverage
though.
mircea_popescu: bank vps can't afford
the same
today, with
the wife working.
mircea_popescu: kinda
the point, bank clerks cca 1950 could maintain a nice beachfront house in california, a housewife and her children
mircea_popescu: mebbe. but for whatever reason... nothing makes what it used
to make.
BingoBoingo: lawyering and s/sing are going down because
the replacement level for each sucks more.
mircea_popescu: even cocksucking, if you believe
the casino cocksuckers, is much less
than it used
to be
mircea_popescu: singer-songwriter is MUCH less of a living
than it used
to be
mircea_popescu: fucking lawyering is less of a living
than it used
to be
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah,
totally, community is everything. except
they have no idea what
that word means.
BingoBoingo: Apparently it is less of a living
than it used
to be.
mircea_popescu: that's why
the promoter makes dough. if it were easy it'd be every kid and his app situation
BingoBoingo: Eh, but getting people, especially in BTC
to bite on a line... is a challenge
mircea_popescu: this should be vig-profitable, whatever it's supposed
to make, 8% or what was it.
mircea_popescu: the way i'm
thinking, if you pick a sport you like and you actually know enough about
to make a line, you can
then make
that line, and promote it like any bookie
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: SO you get
the ATC fund's status.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo anyway, let's
talk something interesting like business
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sometimes, but
the blowjobs are above par
mircea_popescu: by
the
time yo uget her where she can defend herself at gunpoint, you also got her
to where she's slipping herself roofies
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
those women also admit
to having serious
trouble ever dating.
BingoBoingo: Most male vetrans I've seen drunk enough
to spill
the dark secrets spill
that
they didn't kill people. A majority of
the women who admit
to being in firefights admit
to shooting
to kill people because
they really don't want
to carry goat boy
to
term if
the base is over run
mircea_popescu: and as far as guns are concerned,
they're for killing not for displaying.
mircea_popescu: lnovy it's about a degree of magnitude easier for me
to get some dood
to shoot at "the enemy"
than it'd be
to get some woman
to shoot at her would-be attacker.
lnovy: I don't share
that view... homicides are not always coldblooded killing...
mircea_popescu: lnovy yes, in
the sense
that it's much easier as a solider.
mircea_popescu: A
total of 215,273 homicides were studied, 77% of which involved male victims and 23% female victims. Although women comprise more
than half
the U.S. population,
they committed only 14.7% of
the homicides noted during
the study interval.
lnovy: Are
those really comparable? It's bit different
to kill and
to kill as a soldier, no?
BingoBoingo: Female acquaintance killed a lot of people because
they were unfuckable
ozbot: Men, women, and murder: gender-specific differences... [J
Trauma. 1992] - PubMed - NCBI
BingoBoingo: And more
the killing happens less in useful soldier applications
BingoBoingo: You see mor women killing with less hesitation in 2009
than you really had before since Joan of arc
mircea_popescu: and
that's old 1970s data. by now... i'd be surprised if one kid out of
ten ever becomes a useful soldier.
mircea_popescu: it
takes six fucking months
to break down
the male blocks on killing, and even
then it only works sorta 50-50.
BingoBoingo: Might be more valuable operating
the missiles, or as officers commanding
the mine grunts
mircea_popescu: think full metal jacket. you see a bunch of women in
there with gunnery sargeant gomer pyle ?
BingoBoingo: I assume
the women who would use it would be untrainable
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo less
than you'd
think. humans are programmable, and women eminently so.
mircea_popescu: the only way
that's changing is once it becomes more productive economically
to work
than
to procreate, which is probably an euphemism for never
mircea_popescu: in most of
the world, woman chiefly still means head of cattle.
mircea_popescu: this notion
that a woman is a person is very novel and very strange, and rather limited geographically. notwithstanding what western progressives would like
to pretend.
mircea_popescu: repressive society
tho. completely different environment.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: hehe, I still
think people aren't all assholes ;)
mircea_popescu: Azelphur: yea,
that's why I
think an alarm would be better,
that at least gets
the attention of people around you << so
they can join in ?
BingoBoingo: Or she cut out
the implanon in her shoulder
that was
there
to ward off
the scammzor babies
mircea_popescu: even braindead bitcointalk scammers know enough of
the world
to be screaming
thief while stealing.
mircea_popescu: if your wife suddenly
throws a jealousy fit out of
the blue, you know she's just been cheating.
BingoBoingo: I find amazing
that in spite of a decade and a half of shitfits related
to "extremist groups" whose membership never exceeds
the hundreds, actual instability still comes from nation-states whose membership numbers in
the millions
to
the hundreds of millions
mircea_popescu: i guess
they don't
teach
that in self-affirmative-shiteater classes for womenz in
tech and other important
things huh.
