mircea_popescu: " Think of how wrong the entire national media conversation was—and yes, I contributed my fair share—about how the Republicans were being torn apart as a party."
mircea_popescu: "The ace ground game, the brilliant ad-makers, the top Hollywood talent, and the best analytics operation ever assembled? This was all a joke."
mircea_popescu: "The voters of the party got taken for a ride by the people who controlled it, the ones who promised they had everything figured out and sneeringly dismissed anyone who suggested otherwise. They promised that Hillary Clinton had a lock on the Electoral College. These people didn’t know what they were talking about, and too many of us in the media thought they did." and so on.
mircea_popescu: "I believe that if President Trump instructs his special prosecutor Chris Christie or Rudy Giuliani to find a way to lock Hillary Clinton up, he would do so, gleefully, and that many millions of people will look on and feel that justice—whatever that means going forward—was done." << well nto those named, but yes, absolutely, and yes, absolutely.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564876 << not likely. but the whole "iraq offensive" is going away, and possibly ru will stand down in syria (nobody really likes the cost of a war past the first few weeks). so in that sense, yes. ☝︎
asciilifeform: as a boy i was quite impressed with the stories about peter I and his beheadings, his men had to work in shifts to decap all of the derps, and he personally helped, even chopped during parties

asciilifeform: i'd sit on a bed of nails for halved rent.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the dynamics are the problem. very much like being in a walnut shell
mircea_popescu: and in places with harsh weather (such as, everywhere civilised men live, east coast, etc) you can't fly them 2 days a week
asciilifeform: i have not flown even a kite in recent years.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: here's a thought re earlier thread, i wonder if joestack-airplane would easily pay for itself in that you could live in an unpopulated shithole and commute in it...

pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-08#1564306 << 'arrested development' (fox tv show) was brought back once before, unfortunately. whereas family guy was also cancelled after a few seasons before getting the christ-on-easter treatment, cartoons don't have, actors do. and the +5yo actors on arrested development were ~the saddest reunion of hollow meatsacks since cheers. ☝︎
