trinque: question mark isn't
a valid hostname character, only [
a-zA-Z0-9][
a-zA-Z0-9-_]* iirc, or thereabouts
mircea_popescu: l, it's there, and it's
a thing. it's also
a way of life - apparently, for an entire people by now.
mircea_popescu: the indignity of adult female caught in nonsensical academic expectations on
a college campus, trying to "keep up", at least as far as appearances go, through social engineering her way through the teachers, cold reading them like the last lounge lizzard and at all times trying to scent the prevailing opinion in the wind like some sort of illiterate but desperate fox is not apparent to any who've not fucked them as such. stil
mircea_popescu: to them it's
a case of "what do most of the teachers seem to consensus" because then that's "of course" known.
mircea_popescu:
a whole whorde of "educated" kids with an interest in "science" and "technology" do not. it's not merely that they do not know what we know ; it's that they do not know HOW we know. to them knowledge isn't this multi-dimensional accounting system which sums to null on all edges.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider the case of "quantum computer", picked randomly from
a set of these. you, or i, or others here possess the math and physics needed to evaluate that thing. and so we know, as
a factual matter, it dun exist.
trinque: however, this environmental change doesn't look too hospitable to
a clinton. we'll find out.
trinque: and if I were
a fledgling Republic, all the more
trinque: USG just went from supahpowah to pedowitch infested shitland in
a few decades
trinque: when else could terabytes of evidence be dumped upon
a "Clintons"
trinque: crypto exists, bitcoin exists, leaking is
a thing, ...
mircea_popescu: not even as far as evolution. if i go to
a starving village and feed them sushi and tell them sushi is the best meal there is, their dutiful repeating of this does not even constitute an opinion.
BingoBoingo: hanbot: ty. "total lack of fear" is part of inner peace that comes from the Big Book. page 83 paragraph beginning at the bottom of the page features
a description
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it counts for something. it doesn't count for what you thought it counted - because there is such
a thing as unhomogenous medium.
trinque: is this
a cultural thing? asciilifeform sees same behavior among many, assumes there must be command/control taking place?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the "cathedral" never had any consistency outside of the pointless drivel of some redditard or other. apparently readily swallowed as fact by
a certain demographic.
mircea_popescu: woman's got
a week or so left of free range time, that's it.
trinque: maybe drugged up, dumped inside
a gay bar later
BingoBoingo: This election would have made
a great 1980's movie. KGB and FBI holding hands.
mircea_popescu: should be funny to watch
a few thousand old men and women toil to death in the southern deserts.
BingoBoingo: If diana_coman's story maintained it's quality of fiction while correctly including James and Elliot having gay sex. There's
a chance alternate universe me would be conceding.
BingoBoingo: "Our Elliot who art in Hell. What was your last name again. Our kingdom cum, no sex for you. For we are in heaven. Give us this, our daily lols. Forgive us our sex, as we forgive you for not having any. And lead us not into slaughter over craigslist, but deliver us lulz.
A Phi."
BingoBoingo: As
a revolutionary idea incapable of having sex the Bitcoin Foundation may have
a role to play as surrogate Elliot to be unfair to.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: If
a split, split must be unequal because sex havers are in heaven and Elliot is in hell.

a democratic thing here. so the recognized participants being diana_coman hanbot and BingoBoingo - agree amonst yourselves to select
a winner and let me know who it is.
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-04#1562842 <- I find myself agreeing and disagreeing with everyone on this so it's
a right mess; agreeing with mircea_popescu on it being close, quite disagreeing with him on this newly found democratic idea of passing on the hot potato; agreeing with BingoBoingo on the importance of one voting for oneself first, I'll do just that and vote for myself first; will vote for hanbot 2nd for her rectibu
☝︎ PeterL: how do you not have time to eat breakfast? Just wake up
a few minutes earlier
phf: i guess
a peace of mind during breakfast is reason enough...
phf: i believe mircea_popescu said something
a few times about women post-30 being hopeless in that respect
Framedragger: if they ask for an example tell them "well for instance if you really tried hard you could perhaps become
a great slavegirl. start with $trilema-tits-url"
Framedragger: phf should just tell them that he too is on
a board of
a small but growing grass-roots community-network which is trying to help people achieve their best in life
phf: they are doing some exciting work" "small business" "he's
a community organizer" "small business" "building communities?" "she was on the board"
phf: there's
a dodgy israeli coffee shop in the neighborhood (they make shakshuka and burek though, which are good, when the israeli guy is running the kitchen), which is
a favorite meeting spot for local "career" women. i just spent about an hour half listening to
a conversation, and for the love of me i can't figure out what it's about. "yeah should reach out to such and such i was on his board" "yeah such and such is now at such and such
☟︎ mircea_popescu: cctv on every pole etc is
a "background fact of life" in the sense 10 degrees summer temperatures and 16 hour nights were
a fact of life in 1816. there was no denying it from mt tambora mostly because nobody had the standing to fucking ask.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-04 06:42 trinque: so then, snowden, binney, et al, provide
a way to bring out the panopticon in
a deniable way. now that its existence is
a background fact of life, the next step is to make it the hero that saved the great and made it great again
trinque: say there is pairing (
A B) which represents *whether* NSA is watching us poop. opinions in democracy are arbitrary, and the thing will eventually settle around an even split. then pairing (C D) is introduced, which is *given that* NSA watches us poop, do we like that? again, since democracy is arbitrary, opinions spread evenly.

☟︎ BingoBoingo being
a selfish prick and very sick individual must naturally vote for myself. My second preference would be diana_coman's for the subtle twist, though hanbot did the right thing by fanfic law and made the sex gay.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> mircea_popescu advocating democracy O.o << Not
a democracy.
A Jury of the Peerage.
hanbot: haha cool. i suppose i'll make the offer to divert
a third of the prize to each my fellow lady & lord should i be "selected", so we have
a proper dilemma to play.
mircea_popescu: if you can't get
a decision by monday i guess ima pick myself.

pete_dushenski: you think trump'll give seagal citizenship too ? hmm. sounds
a bit far-fetched :P
pete_dushenski: that leaves rock and paper, and since chevy's like
a rock but doesn't make fork lifts, that leaves paper.
phf: actually, it reminds me of dolmabahçe in istanbul, the bulk is taken over by
a harem and there's
a small office space for the caliph
phf: i always though kensington was sort of equivalent of president's residence at the whitehouse. symbol of something or rather, but nobody really lives there. or perhaps, in the case of kensington specifically, an equivalent of
a harem, i.e.
a nursery
pete_dushenski: if she were
a horse she could handle her tranqs better
mircea_popescu: she could still win
a coating of dijon mustard for her anal impalement device.

pete_dushenski: "
A senior Trump adviser told Bloomberg Businessweek last month that the campaign is working on
a three-pronged voter suppression strategy that includes an effort to depress black turnout. Though other Trump advisers later pushed back on the report, Anglin’s partners say they are hoping to put Trump over the top by doing just that."

a lot of space, not to mention that workshop needs own exhaust, large work surface area, etc.), exercise room, entertaining

mircea_popescu: i actually got some very pretty ones, extremely large filament. less light but the tungsten evaporation over time colors the glass
a very pretty faint carmine

☟︎ phf: they don't really know what to do with "large houses" here. i've been to
a few, and i can never discern
a cause to any of the rooms. it's basically "place we sleep, place we shit and place we hang out", everything else is
a filler,
a place to put "artwork". on the other hand not even being "man worth the mention" i can put to use very large spaces. own bedroom, shared bedroom, library room, computer room, workshop (i don't have
a lathe,
mircea_popescu: 2. if you're the sort of man worth the mention in the first place, then you must have 2-4 of what's commonly named "wives", except without the annoying in permanent residence. this means they get
a bedroom, and you also need
a great bedroom to play with them in, which ideally should be separate from the hall, and they'll want 100 sqm of bathroom including complicated waterholes and whatnot. plus closets and various other hidi
mircea_popescu: 1. if you're the sort of man worth the mention in the first place, then you must be able to entertain twelve at the morning's notice. consequently you will need
a "great" hall of at least 100 sqm, more like 150-200 where to seat them around
a table, +
a kitchen half that at least + 2-3 servants so another 50 in living space for them.

a 28.8 per cent chance of victory, it’s almost unbelievable that the race could be so close, given the consequences.
A Russian puppet candidate with shady business affairs who hasn’t disclosed his tax returns, Trump has spent his campaign alienating minorities, horrifying women, offending religious and military voters, and having his career of awful business behaviour paraded in public.
