mircea_popescu: ^ speaking of, might be interesting exercise for
the curious.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-27 16:45 asciilifeform: in reich courts, facts are entirely optional, 'mens rea' suffices, 'he
thought it was a genuine death ray', 'he bought
the sugar from usg agent
thinking it was cocaine, guilty of 25 pound of cocaine, 25
to life, next' etc.
mircea_popescu: but in
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-27#1830163 : consider
that inca didn't come up with
this, but rather it is entirely supported by, and a product of,
the cultists of inutility own' busybox processes. girl says "X is A
TACTIC USED BY ABUSERS!!111" without skipping a beat ; and
the observation
that eating -- also "tactic used by abusers" doesn't ripple her smooth surfaces at any point.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyway,
the foregoing isn't some kind of major discovery -- everyone's solution
to civilisation was "gotta use orc's own forces", from
the latins
to
the 1800s folk. cuz obviously.
mircea_popescu: (however, i do not suspect
there are, for
the following reason :
the bdsm scene consists
today of 1% kinksters and 99% girls and women looking for a dechumpatron. ~all
the kids who in a normal world'd have been moving
things ended up
there, seems like, and
this is very good indicator
that
there's not other boxes available)
mircea_popescu: and as far as can be discerned,
the only chumps in an internal state compatible with de-chumpifying are in
the bdsm scene. but i'd ~love~
to hear of others.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 16:26 Mocky: ok well,
thanks. hopefully
that doesn't curse me. but also i "have" "bitcoin" in various dark markets
that i want
to actually own and I don't
trust
them
to send accurate decimal
to
trinque's walletron
mircea_popescu: so in short & in conclusion : building a dechumpatron very much open problem, precisely because (unlike chumpatrons!) it proposes
to go ~against~
thermodynamics.
mircea_popescu: (but, for having
teh blog, i am in a position
to derive a little bit of ev out of
the overabundant lulzcow, also!)
mircea_popescu: anyway : a) even when it works, ie, you have all
the (expensive! extensive!)
toolset
to convert seawater uranium into actual rods, b) you're
talking ppm at best, and c) lulzbricks come 100:1 if not 1000:1.
mircea_popescu: note
the "as an X" device, because indeed nothing's quite as juicy as self0irony
mod6: Maybe 'wants' doesn't even figure into it, for
that matter.
mod6: I don't know shit about BDSM, but I'd gather if one slut wants
to submit, she wants
to submit. Not have a debate about how someone needs
to earn
the submission.
mircea_popescu: somehow
this plain fact is not merely not obvious, but its landing hits like a mallet, "omfg, you seriously mean my own maturation is my own fucking
task before
the world ?! kids gotta learn how
to walk, it's
their job, really ?! i
thought nobody had any jobs, we just swing in
the
tide like algae blooms!"
mircea_popescu: it's difficult however
to illustrate just how deeply
the self-delusions go. i mean, by example : changed4good 21F Little "Now why would i serve you? You havent earned my submission. In fact i dont know you one bit and clearly you dont know me by your comment." LordMPofTMSR "'Earned' your submission ? Get over yourself.
The fact
that you don't know me is a) your fault of which b) you should be ashamed and c) working
to remedy
mircea_popescu: mod6 practically speaking,
the only important difference between
the "7 bn people alive!!!" and
the "n
trillion people dead" is
that
the corpses don't usually use up resources.
mircea_popescu: after all, what is
http://trilema.com/2012/la-terra-trema/ if not
the story of some guy
trying
to escape acitrezza. so i have no beef with
the idea in principle, and on
teh contrary, i do believe erryone should
try whatever sounds good. who knows, maybe we're missing something.
mircea_popescu: yet from
the other hand, as
true as
the foregoing may well be,
the question "and what's one do
to, live in
the bubble he was born and die
there also ?" stands, of course.
mircea_popescu: and we're not
talking a bunch of little viscontis running around.
they're all sorely unqualified
to direct breakfast, and
this makes exactly 0 impression on
their multifolded narcissism. because qualification doesn't even exist, wtf,
their qualification is existence, rite.
mircea_popescu: or if you prefer, douchebag or zx2c4 or kanzure or whatever.
the postmodern world consists of a bunch of "directors" (in
their own mind) who might maybe consider giving ~you~ a role in
their WoWoW
thing
they've got going -- in
their skull.
mod6: thanks for your input. perhaps,
the grass-roots
thing is
the way
to go. ``talk
to people''.
mircea_popescu: and even given
this, in order
to convert fetlife leads into utility you actually need a dungeon, and
the other slavegirls and you know, being
the guy whio actually built all
that.
mircea_popescu: consider
this comes from someone who's systematically owned okcupid&every other "dating" "platform", askfm, reddit etc -- every other "social media" platform, who was doing put-flyers-on-posts ~a decade ago~ and just as systematically and so on.
mircea_popescu: mod6 honestly, if i
thought any of
this is worth doing i'd do it. from actual experience and as far as i can myself see so far, besides fetlife
there's no utility in
the fiat bubble-makers.
mod6: anyway, was a
thought. I'd like
to perhaps continue
this line of
thinking
though ; figuring out ways
to help drive some signups.
mod6: i kinda suspect
the same
thing.
mod6: Ah, ok, so
they ~do~ have a vendors area at Defcon now. But
the registration period for defcon 26 closed April 1st.
mircea_popescu: ps.
there is no such
thing as "serbian" or "croatian" language.
they both speak
the same shitfuck.
mircea_popescu: i also recall a
time when a bunch of serb retards and a bunch of butthurt croats spent an afternoon pretending
they can't understand each other "because speaking different languages" and "need
translators". it was fucking hysterical.
mircea_popescu: i recall a
time fashionistas used
to be a californy item derrided on
the ny-london axis, and sorta-kinda patronized in paris.
phf: (for
the logs, "gas burner" in russian is "gazovaya gorelka". certain russian words have ukr equivalents where
the form modification follows a set of somewhat recognizable rules.
the president of ukrain not knowing
the correct
term of "gas burner" in ukranian attempted just such modification
transforming "gazovaya gorelka" into "gazova gorilka", which sounds ukranian and "gazova" is correct word, unfortunately for him "gorilka" only ever means "vodka"
phf: amusingly enough if you search "газова горілка"
there's a bunch of online stores
that sell... gas burners!
a111: Logged on 2018-06-28 23:25 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: amusingly enuff , even
the
troo diehard ukrs are entirely ru-speaking folx, at least when camera aint rolling. and , extra lulzily, ditto
the chechens ( witness,
their 'all
things ru suxxx!' 'official' www linked earlier -- 100% in ru )
phf: i suspect because
the 90s hackers were a lot more mainstream, i mean
they had prodigy and orbital, rollerblades and spray painted laptops. i guess wargames is from
the
time when nerds weren't "cool" at all,
though
they did have progressive rock, so i guess
that counts for something..
phf: i wonder if some decades are not really destined for a general come back, like
the 70s
phf: HOPE is very new york, it's a bunch of fashionistas pretending like 90s never ended and
The Hackers was for real
phf is actually going
to HOPE, which was always a parody of a "hacker culture", coming as it is from 2600 circles, but at it's in new york and it's an opportunity
to spend
time with my new york friends. last
time i was at HOPE
that was 2010 or so, when
the whole
theme was g.w.bush as 1984/hitler. at least hope delivers in lulz department. wozniak is going
to be
there, signing apple ii's or whatever.
phf: there was an occasional poc||gtfo speaker doing not necessarily particularly sophisticated, but at least aesthetically pleasing hacks. and of course you could meet oldfags in
the hallways. but even back
then you could see
that
the community is being replaced by martin marlinspooks with
throngs on millennial sycophants, but at least you could avoid
them if you wanted
to. i heard
that's no longer
the case.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-28 20:48 asciilifeform: mod6: a few yrs ago asciilifeform went ( or rather, was sent )
to a smaller/sadder version of said item, 'shmoocon', you wouldn't believe
the sort of snake oil
that was sold
there
a111: Logged on 2018-05-03 02:41 asciilifeform: Framedragger's 'massscan' proggy does not clog state
table
tho, it has own peculiar ip stack
that goes 'statelessly'
mircea_popescu: i still had my old z80s in a drawer somewhere well into
the 3rd millenium
mircea_popescu: still in use,
though, somehow, as someone actually loaded
trilema on one.
mircea_popescu: "represents a major upgrade of our system and is, as far as we are aware,
the only system of it's
type
that's been developed on RISC OS." << read one line, run into one spelling error.
this bodes well for
the LOC.
trinque: oughta be pretty clear gentoo's firmly in satan's hands
these days
trinque: toggled by
the rsync-verify use flag, not
that I'm excusing it.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-05 00:46 asciilifeform: i dun recall if i mentioned : as of coupla wks ago, no moar 'emerge portage' on asciilifeform's-ban-masks gentoo boxen : it now ~demands~ gpg2
turd.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
this is it for "public" gentoo
then ?
mircea_popescu: they're not supposed
to hurt, no. if
they do give it a rest.
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, after
thinking about it a bit, I don't remember seen "booths" like I was
thinking of
there. was at least 15 years ago
though.
