Vexual: as a prequal to treasure island it's disappointing
Vexual: decimation: i find that when i try to trade
Duffer1: not just imgur but any of those sites, regardless of browser
Duffer1: i get an error message whenever i try to upload a pic to imgur
decimation: it is my experience that there is always someone greater
Duffer1: i'm at a total loss, what could possible prevent me from uploading images to imgur or photobucket or tinypic..
mircea_popescu: and it should be, because just like with the poker table : if you live with no masters it just means you're an idiot.
mircea_popescu: B007 of interest re the boss being smarter always or not, see the mp 50-50 rule, too.
decimation: so the position of master cannot be granted by fiat
decimation: in the case where you are in an insane job situation, for example, it would be your duty to leave
mircea_popescu: decimation more like, it's your duty to live in a sane world.
mircea_popescu: you don't want to keep the job where he a) isn't smarter and b) can't cope.
decimation: so the boss has a right to ensure the slaves are in order
Vexual: its not a thing
B007: but what if you want to keep the job
mircea_popescu: so then tell him.
mircea_popescu: suddenly you have a society in which censorship is not at all absurd, but quite logically sound and flowing from what the people do.
mircea_popescu: well... in this context censorship is merely the enforcing of the obligation of coherence.
mircea_popescu: and if anyone else does, whay! THAT ASSHOLE! THAT BROWNNOSE.
mircea_popescu: not like you go to the boss and say, hey, it just dawned on me, you're so much smarter than me. thank you for taking the time to be my boss.
mircea_popescu: i mean, take the notion of censorship. you consider it unbearable to be told to shut the fuck up, keep your bitching to yourself and disperse right now. but... you DO keep your thanking to yourself as a matter of course, as if it's ordained from on high.
decimation: This is how the us has become ungovernable
mircea_popescu: it all proceeds from there.
mircea_popescu: this is how socialism starts : by encouraging the slaves to not be expressively thankful.
mircea_popescu: i get thanked on hands and knees on regular basis.
mircea_popescu: it's not thankless.
decimation: yeah, being a good master (husband, employer, etc) is hardass thankless work
mircea_popescu: this is much better than derping about "privilege"
mircea_popescu: because, turns out, keeping teh girl content is not exactly trivial. it seemed trivial back when the other guy was doing it, but it is not in fact trivial.
mircea_popescu: now, stealing her and trying to get her dressed is the best exercise a young boy could possibly attempt.
mircea_popescu: suppose a guy who is older than you, and better than you, and smarter and more connected and cultivated and powerful than you has a number of slaves, among which this absolutely breathtakingly stunning young lady.
mircea_popescu: decimation the idea isn't to "skim stuff" and try to pass it as your own. the idea is this :
mircea_popescu: i know the general opinion is that omg copying is bad or w/e, but i don't hold it. any painter worth a shit was made by copying the old masters in his own hand. it's how you become a good writer, rewrite fucking hemingway
mircea_popescu: anyway, kids about his age in romania used to do this all the time.
decimation: low SNR though
decimation: his early stuff was good, especially on the structure of power in the us and economics
decimation: heh. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Mr. Yarvin reads your blog
mircea_popescu: a rare day when what you thought mp meant is what mp actually meant.
decimation: okay that makes sense then
decimation: mircea, I liked your nigger story on trilema, but I was confused about the link on your second footnote - do you mean Yarvin's article posted Sep 2013?
Vexual: seriously, don't make me laugh too much or ill have to pay some faggot surgeon tho render me unconcious and tke a knife to my nether regions
decimation: busin' bums from the 'hood
decimation: Karpales should be arrested by the UN for being a fat fuck
mircea_popescu: how do you think obama clinched the elections ?
decimation: there are probably many actual bums who would be happy to protest for a few coins
Vexual: nor coin with witch to pay for a roof
mircea_popescu: middle class folks looking through the press always imagine that the protesters are you know, like them. house and two cars.
mircea_popescu: i mean, he'd be camping somewhere else if not there, not like he has a house or anything.
Vexual: theyre moving to paris so they an toss insolent brits into the river
mike_c: hehe. just teasing.
decimation: is that guy still camping outside of mtgox's building in tokyo?
mircea_popescu: what, srsly, passionate people can't lie ? what's this.
Bugpowder: Maybe I am seduced by the french language
Bugpowder: I watched the pie video two more times and I just can't imagine Tux being evil. So much passion for pie.
mircea_popescu: once i get to that email or w/e.
mircea_popescu: mike_c that looks less dumbfoundingly no fucking way-ish. i ordered some data extracted i'll have something in a little
Vexual: the dude from gox is fat and im on my third bottle of whisky
Bugpowder: I have taken the gospel and spread fear in the hearts of men
decimation: heh yeah it wouldn't be hard to build
Vexual: i mgiht have the bits, u want aluminum or wood?
decimation: I wonder if someone makes a decent LCD-based serial terminal
Vexual: yes i ne'r had that
kakobrekla: Vexual that is not as haxxing as amber
decimation: apparently in March 1991 IBM divested their hardware manufacturing to a company that became Lexmark
kakobrekla: hm might as well color my irc to amber-black scheme
Duffer1: i'm unable to upload an image to any file sharing site
Vexual: even just the kb
Vexual: shouldn't have thrown that out
kakobrekla: prolly some clone at that point
decimation: that's probably the guy who sells them today
decimation: Apparently the keyboards made after 1992 were made by Lexmark
decimation: cost like $1500 in the late 80's
asciilifeform: did sell. last i checked they were sold out.
decimation: clickykeyboards.com sells them for ~$95
asciilifeform: alcohol for the electricals
asciilifeform: if you're willing to clean the thing yourself, you can go as low as $10.
asciilifeform: they're still ~50 usd. on ebay and the like
kakobrekla: maybe theres still some laying around
asciilifeform: decimation: admittedly, it was ~20 yrs. old when i got to it, so i haven't any idea of what they were like when new.
kakobrekla: i also ditched about 5 of them
decimation: surely the springs on a 30 year old keyboard are starting to wear?
TomServo_: I was just going to say, I feel like such an idiot for getting rid of all those model Ms
asciilifeform: mechanical quality isn't 100% there.
decimation: ascii have you tried those 'new' model m's from the guy who bought the factory from IBM in kentucky?
Vexual: makes it difficult to talk to some things
