mircea_popescu: in case not found yet : "mod6.sig\n\n\nT" vs ".mod6.sig</a>\n\nT"
mircea_popescu: phf` why do you think sex doll ? common female also can get clit shield / urethra buzzer installed.
mircea_popescu: ah but mod6 baby, you can't sign html and expect to verify the text a browser outputs cmon. whole fucking thing is a substitution engine for strings, how's the clearsign gonna be preserved.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notice trilema doesn't suffer from same problem ; read mp-wp ; live happily ever after.
mircea_popescu: for all i know dood hasn't even found that clicking plate with square nubbins on it for the past eight months.
mircea_popescu: there doesn't seem to be more rhyme or reason behind their decisions / behaviours / choices / "engineering" generally speaking than behind movement of clouds.
mircea_popescu: honestly, from the past few years of involvement with "software engineers", i can squarely say i have no fucking idea what goes on in their heads, but if it came to light they're just randomly squirming like froglegs on electric plating i wouldn't be much surprised.
mircea_popescu: start giving them six months for going around dressed and obnoxious shit like that, i say.
mircea_popescu: about 2.55mn women in jail by fall, to sit there two or three decades at the latest.
mircea_popescu: i would say that in order to rectify historical injustices, there's strict need for about
mircea_popescu: this DOESN'T constitute some sort of misandrism, and it's NOT time to change the laws to you know, punish more girly shit ? how about 5 years in jail for watching netflix without a partner, speaking in a shirll tone, being fat or being obnoxious ? and striking male crimes suck as you know, fucking, from the books ?
mircea_popescu: and to continue the penitentiary discussion : i don't seem to see all the fuckwits insisting that black dudes being jailed constitutes some kind of racism etc notice that a) google will serve you the "37% non-hispanic blacks" figure on a search for "us inmate population by gender" front and center, because who cares what you're actually searching for, have some nigger figures in any case and b) there's only 12k women for 175k
mircea_popescu: did they catch the homeless dude responsible or still shopping around ?
mircea_popescu: orwell, technically, was physically present in india the dominion. similarly, failed to understand the working of the mechanical details, similarily for all the shit between the eyes : more committed to not admitting he's a shithead than to understanding anything.
mircea_popescu: the contention is that he wasn't in any position to understand the working of the mechanical details, for all the shit between his eyes.
mircea_popescu: doesn't really have much to do with either prison, or my book.
mircea_popescu: the item was not yet borne into being that'll force me to include anything. he's welcome to figure prominently in any she-anglotard "story of prison".
mircea_popescu: and for the record i've not that much respect for solzhenitsyn. yes, very accomplished child, child nevertheless. so he famously went and told mommy things and mommy really cared. good for the fucking tuna ; meanwhile what the fuck is he to know about the point in discussion.
mircea_popescu: if the dorks outside don't slosh too hard, what're you gonna get.
mircea_popescu: so you can actually end up with selected space where, to quote in translation, "with any luck i can go an entire week without drinking after an idiot"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thing is, loser jailbirds get killed in normal prison.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've known gents who genuinely preferred living in prison you understand.
mircea_popescu: reddit users were rendered obsolete by "ai" back in the days of minsky.
mircea_popescu: then again fwih ru prisons also went to shit. all hope left is i guess brazil ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. this phf` - enabled short survey through the us penitentiary culture leaves me unimpressed. not much of a culture, is it.
mircea_popescu: gimme a break, anyone who's someone can get a bottle or two of whatever they like. wtf.
mircea_popescu: "Mix a can of Cherry Dr. Pepper with instant coffee, cocoa, cappuccino mix, a carton of milk, and some leftover sugar packets to make a drink that tastes as close to cognac as you will get in prison."
mircea_popescu: ahahaha. really, chicks in female jail pretend to be butch for money ?
mircea_popescu: speaking of this, here's something to piss alf off in so many ways :
mircea_popescu: wtf is with all the ramen anyway. they've no pasta where these people live ?
mircea_popescu: he'll oppress his own tastebuds gleefully for this purpose.
mircea_popescu: see, alfie ? social behaviour. the dude will gladly state a nonsense to the outgroup (us) to gratify the ingroup. he's not even a part of it notably, but he aspires to see himself and hopes to be seen by us as if he were.
mircea_popescu: "Quite frankly some of the tastiest food I have ever eaten was cooked in the microwave by inmates." o brother.
mircea_popescu: well my experience is ancient and from outside the best korea
mircea_popescu: a steak ? can't recall. gardner's math amusements ? nope.
mircea_popescu: strangely enough, none of the people i knew in jail ever complained.
mircea_popescu: but yes, i expect prison food is a shade below rather than a shade above what they feed the cattle normally at the mall food court.
mircea_popescu: i dunno about the last point. they used to pay someone for just that, in the middle ages.
mircea_popescu: that nobody makes use of the library part seems rather a comment on the nobody.
mircea_popescu: it seems rather certain at this point that us "SHU" ~= being locked in library.
mircea_popescu: can get family visits! "o noes, it's through phone/plastic windows!!"
mircea_popescu: and no, definitely can get books. apparently no actual limit, either! mostly because... nobody ever fucking wants any.
mircea_popescu: truth be told, the human brain isn't either intented or designed to exceed 30 years of continuous abuse.
mircea_popescu: still, the boredom angle... let them prove all the theorems yes ?
mircea_popescu: it's not implemented by the batiscaphe, at least not usually.
mircea_popescu: afaik they get a book a week or some shit, i dunno, haven't followed.
mircea_popescu: if your theory of man had any feet, solitary confinment weren't regarded as the mother of all torture. physiologically, people lose their minds. maybe you or i wouldn't care, or maybe we think so in our ridiculous, adolescentine misapprehension. but this anecdote doesn't do much.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your definition of prison === human condition.
mircea_popescu: monkeys are social rather than solitary. this goes with "have two limbs and opposable thumbs". how exactly they make use of those limbs or invest that sociality is also up for grabs, but doesn't speak to the principle.
mircea_popescu: yes. and every once in a while one gets hallucinations.
mircea_popescu: us environment threats, such as you know, other civilisations, volcanoes and aliens landing is entirely up for grabs. these points make the good/bad adequate/inadequate distinction, not whether the "inmates" "like" it in their "hearts of hearts". for one thing they're not inmates, lacking the capacity of outmating ; for the other thing they can't like and for the third they've no heart of hearts.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-09#1653759 << no, no. the sad fact of the matter is that what people want is without exception stupid and harmful. not even one, both. a functional civilisation provides people with a good story as to why they're getting something other than what they want. whether what they actually get happens to also be a) what they actually need, as opposed to $random ; b) actually competitive with the vario
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in any case, a civilisation is not a sort of supermarket leaflet, to be judged by how well and how thoroughly it satisfies your perceived needs.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but this promises to be yet another pandora box. obviously and of course.
mircea_popescu: but these days, even the fine motor control of hominid ain't worth jack. and so...
