punkman: random numbers and letters is the solution, obviously
mircea_popescu: consider all the people that apparently are in some capacity part of the usg, and somehow (at least in their own mind) decision factors in various capacities.

mircea_popescu: too much shit to name.
nubbins`: well once you start making your portmanteaus cross the language barrier, all hope is lost
nubbins`: apparently all the knock-offs, netduino, miniduino, etc sound HORRIBLE in italian
mircea_popescu: this is roughly matching the luce irigaray levels of idiocy, so. i'm happy.
mircea_popescu: the fact that her drivel is nominally about how bad privilege and the respect it engenders is only adds to the humor.
jurov: The word itself is a neologism coined by Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza to describe interconnected, interacting, and self-extending systems of domination and submission, in which a single individual might be oppressed in some relationships and privileged in others.
mircea_popescu: which explains why nobody used it up until some illiterate woman decided smashing random "respectable" and "priviledged" bits together will make her drivel more... respectable and priviledged
punkman: mircea_popescu: it offends my aesthetics in some way, like when americans try to make up greek sounding words
jurov: for twins, i mean
deadweasel: oh wow, this is good, thanks kakobrekla
jurov: then the dumbmness adds or multiplies?
mircea_popescu: seems like a grand word to me.
mircea_popescu: punkman why exactly ? kyriarchy, the natural, normal, good and healthy mode of society, which a bunch of failures are claiming to be "critiquing" and "oposing" because it';s cheaper than fixing the steaming pile of shit they personally are
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves for the purpose of this bet all people are male and all twins etc are one person.
ThickAsThieves: how do you score if your brother does all the talking?
punkman: mircea_popescu: that's an awful word

mircea_popescu: give winklebois a chance to make their 75% back
ThickAsThieves: there shoulda been a bitbet whether someone says "HSBC" during these sessions
nubbins`: i'm honestly too selfish for it
deadweasel: nubbins`: it's always too soon for me to pop out kids, until it isn't. fortunately I've found my calling and I'm wrecking shop on it, currently.

nubbins`: bring a friend who fakes tourette's and you'll get on first

ThickAsThieves: Members of the Platinum, Gold, Ruby, and Mega Preferred may now board!
ThickAsThieves: another funny abomination of flying is when they announce the different boarding groups
mircea_popescu: if y schmuck is a "threat to security" could not.
mircea_popescu: yes, because on that score their determinations are unfalsyfiable.
nubbins`: hahaha, this ^
ThickAsThieves: the US does however find the time to allow citizens to pay them to do a background check so they can fly without taking their shoes off
nubbins`: while simultaneously wondering if canada even has a similar thing
mircea_popescu: by now there's no hope.
mircea_popescu: there's about 1% of the needed troop of those available, and that was pre-aml.
nubbins`: i'm pleading canada's equivalent of the fifth amendment on this one
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well you need a number of that rare beast, the risk assesment officer.
nubbins`: to fb or the bank?
nubbins`: facebook knows more about me than my bank does
nubbins`: deadweasel, popping out kids is essentially pushing a reset switch. if you haven't yet done what you feel you need to do with your life, it's too soon :D
mircea_popescu: the cleverness of the us politicos is so very refined it's just about on par with the cleverness of the entire check and card system.
ThickAsThieves: could not PayPal or Facebook do this?
mircea_popescu: o wait, an answer appears. because this way the costs of governance could be imposed upon business directly, bypassing the tax controls of congress.
mircea_popescu: and why is that provider not a govt agency paid for by the govt out of taxes, as it should be ?
ThickAsThieves: why isnt there a dominant independent AML provider?
deadweasel: to even name them all would be moot, it's just sickness.
deadweasel: exactly, more conditioning. I'm saying I'm aware of my own conditioning, to a degree, thank god. but my 'part' would be my perceived 'value' to my 'family' 'nation' etc. We have all sorts of beliefs warping our minds.
mircea_popescu: (yea, that's like three points, what can i say)
mircea_popescu: it can end up costing the president half his approval rating pretty much.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla that case will be interesting, too, if the kid somehow finds the resources to not sign a plea bargain.
deadweasel: but ti's there in the brain.
deadweasel: i still sometimes believe fi I get a wife and pop a couple kids out, and manage to keep them fed that I've done my 'part'. it's a farce of course.
kakobrekla: lol, "so what do you think about regulation of btc?", "needs no change, works as it should, you just busted shrem ya know."
deadweasel: yup, that's classic conditioning though, one of the demons that needs exercising. marriage promotion.
mircea_popescu: and she goes... "well great, we'll be abjectly poor and finally have a chance to be a family"
mircea_popescu: which you know... you kinda dread telling to the incredibly hot knockout that somehow accepted to marry you
mircea_popescu: like you know, suppose you lose your job, and that means you'll lose the house
mircea_popescu: deadweasel if you wish an optimist angle on it, you could say "well great, finally a chance to become a nation"
deadweasel: if he looks any deeper (i realize thsi is a long shot), he may see the rotten core and start the long task of expelling his american demons.
mircea_popescu: you know the thing with present moments... they're but moments, fleetingly present. the car going too fast is still, for a brief moment, on the road.
deadweasel: blight is starting to appear to the average shmo. he is starting to get angry here.
deadweasel: but we are rotting from the inside out, indeed.
deadweasel: perish*ing*, no? if we are speaking of the apple in the bag and the present moment, we have no perished.
mircea_popescu: o i mean, the us is doing great, just like yahoo, what do i know.
mircea_popescu: don't do it the other way lest you perish like the us perished.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it's great. let the world adapt it's sensitive ears to the roar of commercial and industrial reality.
punkman: mircea_popescu: contrast with companies having mandatory "social" time during work hours
ThickAsThieves: i think not always good for manager/owner to be talking

mircea_popescu: nobody may speak for the thing other than the owner, or the manager.
mircea_popescu: in any venue, under any circumstances, ever. if you can't control the communication shut it off.
mircea_popescu: never, ever, under any circumstances allow random "specialist" fuckwits to speak for your venture.
mircea_popescu: learn something from me, ye future owners of this world, if you learn anything at all :
punkman: so I went to buy some allegedly local truffles, dude tried to pass me chinese bootleg truffles

ozbot: Twitter / Namecheap: @Mircea_Popescu LOL, they're ...
mircea_popescu: https://twitter.com/Namecheap/status/428158030015107072 << cannonical exercise in "but i'm too stupid to know just how stupid i am!"
mircea_popescu: one day they'll be a fortune.
mircea_popescu: just a summary at the end, perhaps one of the two "we decided we'r too stupid to get mixed up usefully" "we're unaware we're too stupid and will mix ourselves into it"
