asciilifeform: it isn't as if the 'legit owner' is somehow not cow.
mircea_popescu: very mirvniki worldview, "land belongs to the cow"
mircea_popescu: something like that. "it's ours by right of living here". like the bedsheets in the campus dorm.
asciilifeform: and not like the other fella's usg.parents didn't give him the airline for free.
mircea_popescu: not like his parents didn't give it to him for free. or the dean did. or htat weird old guy. or someone anyway.
mircea_popescu: and he dun see why that asshole has to make such a big deal out of it
asciilifeform: as i understand, the morons didn't even have the simple lock on the ignition that a toyota has.
asciilifeform: 'ownership is power to destroy' or how it went.
asciilifeform: as for 'property', from my pov the janitor was no more or less 'proprietor' of the boeing, than the recipient of printing press largesse who paper-'owned' it.
BingoBoingo: Inca should have ate less un popped popcorn if it doesn't want to feel the turdbumps
asciilifeform: 'Andropov: Why did you decide that you are a judge and can decide with a gun in your hands? Ilyin: Because a person should live not exist.' ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( interesting case, btw, they decided that shooting's too easy for him, put in 'psihushka', reportedly still alive today, as vegetable )
asciilifeform: or take the sargeant who stole two makarovs and narrowly missed brezhnev's head. etc
asciilifeform: ( 1980s. wasn't publicized until after the final curtain call, unsurprisingly. )

asciilifeform: there were at least 2 sov mechanics who climbed into migs and took off.
asciilifeform: the moar militantly retarded inca reich becomes , the moar tcells will produce.
asciilifeform: recall solzhenitsin and his 'if erry zak took an axe to nkvd head' lemma.
asciilifeform: erry d00d who , instead of retreating into 'world of warcraft' and drink, goes out with a bang, is a nail in the inca coffin.
asciilifeform: the janitor with a pail of petrol, is a t-cell, killing off inca cancer, whether knows it or not. ☟︎
asciilifeform: upstack re 'steal a boeing', recall the http://btcbase.org/log/2014-09-07#821351 fella ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: permits one to comment, upon that scene in film "road trip", that "no black mamie ever gave a white chick looking like amy smart a vibrator for free. EVER."
mircea_popescu: and for keeping one's insanity in check, and for many things.
mircea_popescu: otherwise... i didn't even go by bus as a jr high kid, wtf is this.
mircea_popescu: most of the bussing i ever did was via greyhound trip in mid 2000s, and deliberately for to meet various such people as use the bus in the us.
asciilifeform: i can't resist to ask, if mircea_popescu will say, what he was doing on the bus. what, all 63 porches were in the shop ?
mircea_popescu: so they have odd, to put it mildly, ideas. about personal space, about power and control, about proper behaviour, etcetera.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu were to go on the bus here, he will likely be the only white face on board
mircea_popescu: i expect most of the 20something crowd is socialized in the fenceless suburbia and lulzy-ass campus.
asciilifeform: in some places ( e.g. east usa ) it is rare to see a fella who owns >1 shirt, on a bus
mircea_popescu: i wonder how such invalidates one's opinions on things and matters...\
mircea_popescu: fancy that wonder, we were going to take the bus. what, not everyone does ?!?!?!?!
a111: Logged on 2015-01-21 01:37 mircea_popescu: very common problem people have on the internet, the "everyone is as stupid as me / everyone's a goat the same gender and age as me" issue.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in random http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-21#985204 lulz, "I find it hard to believe that I could sit next to you on the bus let alone serve you". ☝︎
asciilifeform: the man who pulls a great heist, is pissing on his assigned cattle stall and makes break for it. normally gets nowhere, but this is orthogonal.
asciilifeform: not erry pickpocket, naturally, rises to leading golden horde. but basic principle same.
mircea_popescu: quite. but begging for "just turn your ass this way while talking to him" is ye oldest beggary.
mircea_popescu: there's the man, who tells the woman, "it'll hurt" and then there's the boy, who tells the girl... "it won't hurt"
mircea_popescu: if you read the "social media", 100% the approach of the dweebs would be "i won't take up much of your time, anything"
asciilifeform: hm the 'knights and knaves' trilema or where was it
mircea_popescu: premature ejaculation is meta-stable because it is actually the key tool to the mating strategy of the beta.
mircea_popescu: except -- there's two mating strategies. there's the beta strategy where it tries to stick it in her while her back is turned ot the side and the owner is distracted. that'd better be quick.
asciilifeform: ( perhaps stretching the analogy, but possibly makes sense ? )
mircea_popescu: it should be selected against, and then disappear, right ?
mircea_popescu: tell me this -- ever wondered why premature ejaculation is metastable in the population ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yet kurchatov generally understands that my women are off limits for his inferior limpdick.
mircea_popescu: how are the kids who "could do anything" and whose "education" cost literal millions [in bezzlars, but what else is there ?!?!] conceptualize that "no, fuckfaced, you're NOT GOOD ENOUGH for this usage of this item" ?
asciilifeform: problem is that this describes errybody from kurchatov to pickpocket. pretty much all human activity, really.
mircea_popescu: the elements a) he was there ; and b) was bored and c) item was also there and so d) he did something with it. monkey implemented in human genome, what.
asciilifeform: dunno, erry week the local cops here pick up a car thief, who took for joyride, i dun think it is because 'did not understand property'
mircea_popescu: it's how they do it! it's how it's done! wut do these old ppl want even!
mircea_popescu: kid was bored at work, who may tell him he's not allowed ~the use~ of ~reddit's airplane~ to ~do some cool shit~ for a break ?
mircea_popescu: they call it "terrorism" and whatever, but all i can see is wediditredditardism. dood doesn't even conceptualize property in any sense above diego rivera's "it's the people's wall!".
asciilifeform: i can think of many less entertaining methods of cashing in one's chips
mircea_popescu: anyway, but while discussing "new man" psychopathologies --- consider the dood who stole a plane to do barrel rolls on the basis of his video game experience.
mircea_popescu: really, it's the core of peasant culture.
mircea_popescu: very important that the group be small though, and stay small. must regard aliens suspiciously.
asciilifeform: it's healthy in 5yo kid ( imho, and possibly asciilifeform is not unbiased, he did it... ) but there are folx who dun grow anything on top of it..
asciilifeform: i suspect the latter is simply adult-neotenous variant of that pasttime of just about erry intelligent little boy, to take group of playmates and 'put them in regiment', march'em around with wooden muskets
mircea_popescu: or else the very narrow groupuscle thing, like moronskutsy what's his name, making "challenges" for his troop of five people AND THEM ONLY.
mircea_popescu: seems there's the two strategies - either a very low bar of individuation, as employed on 4chan's "anon" bla bla -- they're not anonymous, it's just the identity attaqinable is very simple
asciilifeform: 'hey, you read /r/nguyen!' 'mee tooo!'
mircea_popescu: well, there's subreddits...
asciilifeform: if they stuck to the ~60-strong village -- could even scratch that itch. but as it is nao, no dice.
trinque: makes one think that there's perhaps an earlier fixation than "anal", coming from the first inconvenience, the shhhlonk out of mother and into the hard light
asciilifeform: trinque: witness just how much of the homo redditus psychopathologies cluster really reduces to doomed , head-against-wall attempts at becoming individuable
trinque: the derps long for the goo tube
trinque heard a tard say exactly "mark of the beast would be so convenient; I wouldn't have to worry about losing my credit card" just the other day
asciilifeform: 'and in the shit future, the biomass will become so nguyen that will have to be branded with hot irons on forehead'
asciilifeform: i always liked that legend. tho i suspect that i read it somewhat differently from the ameri-christians.
mircea_popescu: mark of teh beast!!1
asciilifeform: at a certain point, the entomologists who still insists on distinguishing individual specimens will be stuck trying to catch'em and put numbered collars on, like on giraffes in africa, or how else to distinguish the indistinguishable..
asciilifeform: '...there exists exactly one Nicola in the entire villagevi, and the only smaller kid at the age of rumspringa is Daniel, so you've got them...' etc
asciilifeform: the closer to the http://trilema.com/2012/anonimity-or-the-urban-versus-rural-dispute period , the moar acute this problem, i suspect, and so when we will have seen 10 shitcoin scammers from the humid shitholistans, 7 will have been nguyen.
mircea_popescu: cuz they seem the same one.
asciilifeform: ( on top of this, quite possibly there are moar nguyens in vietnam than popescus in ro )
asciilifeform: i dun recall the name popping up prior
mircea_popescu: can't imagine who'd give an inkling of a shit, besides the republic's incredibly advanced entomology dept.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-22#1843595 << it seems that nguyen nobody's been trying to attention whore around the matter for years. ☝︎
mod6: Hard to complain about that :D
BingoBoingo: But I am getting soup and a free sweep out of the deal.
BingoBoingo: So there is a local holiday called "Dia de nostalgia" where the locals listen to old pop music. The Peruana is rather insistent that the holiday is today. Thusly she took me for a walk, is cooking soup, and is cleaning Casa Boingo. I am under the impression the holiday is later this week, as the busdrivers and kiosk operators appear to be as well.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-22#1843560 << possibly i'm thick, but i read mircea_popescu's puzzle statement and dun grasp how this is possible, for the value to be conserved, if every mix operation rounds down to nearest whole ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://archive.is/Nw7P3 << check it out, argentine retards squatting the words.
asciilifeform: i'll buy a 'he oughta have appeared here ~before~ strapped in the chair'.
mircea_popescu: not so impossible, from mine -- if CAMPOS were worth the cost of a decent burial, !!key CAMPOS would work.
asciilifeform: impossible to say, from my telescope.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps he dun have a tcp pipe in the cokemachine chair.
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as "the innocent zek". inca exists because the zeks exist.
mircea_popescu: i only read usg productions as literary fiction when it involves standing members ; otherwise it's liars playing liar. why would i trust CAMPOS more than the system he and his friends created ? or less, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: the only question is, why isn;'t mr campos here saying this ?
asciilifeform: fwiw i read usg indictments as works of fiction, not particularly different from e.g. trial of lavrentiy pavlovich beria, 'british, french, and japanese spy' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and they falsified the records, or do the records not even exist ?
mircea_popescu: so you think that's not factual ?
asciilifeform: where's the difficulty in producing an arbitrary 'mr chump went into usa with bag of $ x' for any desired value of x
mircea_popescu: here's a possible theory : this dood went over the border twice to who knows, five times a day for months and fucking months, and they counted his money in front of him every time
mircea_popescu: specifically, how do they know ~the dollar amount~ ?
