mircea_popescu: while
the austrians paid for
them, italy existed,
then it didn't
mircea_popescu: italy has never, ever, at any poiint in its history, been able
to pay
the bills.
nubbins`: you have a point,
they're doing it all with softsynths
benkay: "why are
these
tools so hard bawwww"
benkay: no investment of money, no investment of
time.
benkay: nubbins`: nobody buys moog modules and so
therefore has no incentive
to actually learn
them
mircea_popescu: i could but srsly... i prefer
tits and a nicely formed hip-thigh complex.
nubbins`: dubstep is essentially "i bought a bunch of Moog modules and can't be fucked
to learn how
to use any of
them"
nubbins`: and
tweak
the cutoff & peak knobs so it goes WOM WOM
nubbins`: dubstep, aka run some
techno
through a VCF

the mainstream
mircea_popescu: nubbins` dun worry, he knows i only do it
to bother him
nubbins`: (dub: don't want

benkay: i've done
too many drugs with dubstep playing
to care about it anymore
benkay: he and Vexual were wanking each other off
the nother night.
mircea_popescu: hm, maybe

the curb
thing is funny for people who don't have access
to surveillance cams,
nubbins`: mircea_popescu,
that's
the
thing.
they're not even
trying
to act
cazalla: curb is better
than seinfeld
benkay: and i
think into anime shit as well.
nubbins`: curb is funny if you
think watching adults endure horrendously awkward situations is funny
mircea_popescu: you people must have really brainrotting
tv or something.
mircea_popescu: jesus, herbi is
the proximate cause for me
trying
to rewatch
that crud, cause he also claimed it's better
than seinfeld.
benkay: and i mean
the actual fucking bound volumes.
mircea_popescu: "i know! let's give a bunch of clueless
twits
the unwarranted, indefensible idea
that what
they know and
think is universal, and
then let's have
them write it all out.
mircea_popescu: "The
term can carry a moral judgement and is viewed in
the context of a mainstream social ideal for sexual activity

the local btc irc channel
benkay: <donpdonp> i cant
tell which
mircea_popescu: like for instance
the mtgox
thing ?
totally impredictable and shocking for a few people.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah, well,
that'd be a funcrtion of you growing less retarded over
time.
benkay: maybe
the joke is on me expecting comedy
benkay: nobody on
that show can
tell a joke.
ThickAsThieves: or like how
they use almost famous actors as cameo villians
ThickAsThieves: i find
tv shows
to be increasingly predictable, i dont just mean boring
mircea_popescu: you don't realise
this on
the first pass, watching it or w/e, but just
try as a cw exercise
to improve on
them.
benkay: get with
the 2004 mang
benkay: oh yeah also while we're on
the
topic your discus implementation is fucking horrendous
too
ThickAsThieves: mp
the Like button and +1 button are missing from
trilema
mircea_popescu: all
that's missing is herbi driving a jet over his cat or something.
Mats_cd03: the garbage wine he drinks is more
than
that
Mats_cd03: well i expected him
to know
the shit gift i bought him was shit
mircea_popescu: so
therefore your odds of giving him something he doesn't
think is shit are... <0.0001% ?
Mats_cd03: dude was a huge sword buff and owned all sorts of probably illegal war
trophies
mircea_popescu: putting your friend in
the awkward position of having been vicariously scammed doesn't seem like much of a gift
benkay: the upper end of skill experience and what have ye isn't but
that's a vanishingly small slice.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 why'd you buy
things you don't know
to make gifts ?
Mats_cd03: i have no expertise in
that sort of
thing, i meant
to buy it as a gift for a colleague
benkay: thing is most humans are
totally fungible
Mats_cd03: ya i
thought so, so i picked up a carbon fibre weapon made with modern
techniques
mircea_popescu: yeah
they actually put a lot of effort into getting it right for some reason.
benkay: that's what, less
than an mpex seat?
benkay: anyways
that kind of property is kind of unique and so
therefore probably worth in excess of 5k
benkay: you can always imbue your replica with
that property,
though, Mats_cd03
Mats_cd03: although
the replica didnt kill hundreds of chinese so i guess its inferior
tbh
Mats_cd03: found a replica
that was better
than
the real
thing on ebay for $200
Mats_cd03: i
tried
to buy a .jp relic once, dealer
tried
to gouge me for $5k

the distractions roaming around

that people learn jack shit in school and everyone's lazy and stupid and wtf is
this politics conspiraci of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: the 2nd part is not about
the sultan (which is duly forgotten), but about how pissed off
the author is with
the current environment
mircea_popescu: anyway, has
the esteemed & most serene college of
the assets read my recent poem ?
mircea_popescu: imagine if he's from
the hillbilly country and his parents are Form and Mindy
