mp_en_viaje: prolly a good idea.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 00:41 trinque: BingoBoingo: like "someday I'll post such a great pic on instagram I'll have the likes to buy a flat in miami" or what
mp_en_viaje: the whole "bald guy with glasses used to give girls a taste of life, gave stalin some rat poison, thought he'd make phriends among some really weary people who just perceived him as a lunatic" washes with me.
mp_en_viaje: there's a list.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920651 << it was born because all the latino chicks want to go there ; and from some observation of mine re the implicit capitol of a spanish empire that still exists in the minds if not on the map and so on. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 00:27 asciilifeform: ended up. but -- and oddly to the uninitiated ear.. man was -- soft. he had a month or so to behead hrusch et al, didn't behead.
mp_en_viaje: being a heir is such a kiss of death... they almost never fucking make it, terrible thing to be, an heir.
mp_en_viaje: it is actually a much better play to tell them it's not a big deal at all and let nature take its course. deal with the teenaged mothers and whatever else, cheaper than trying to recuperate 30yo "religious" mind.
mp_en_viaje: anwyay, to briefly revisit the "you found your cock, congrats" theme : people keep telling kids sex is a big deal, esp in the us. this unites it with freud-era vienna, where similarily. it's a losing move, getting kids convinced sex is a big deal ends up with too much garbage downstream, and especially very expensive garbage.
mp_en_viaje: which is fucking beautiful, cuz it's precisely why i even made a blog in the first place, save my fucking time.
mp_en_viaje: very quick answer to all sorta questions, i can get through like 5-6 normal people "dates" in all of three minutes.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-29 15:16 asciilifeform: a++ phototour
asciilifeform: there's a sov-era animation of it somewhere
mp_en_viaje: neurosis is always this "what if" with an unsatisfied major premise. "what if my house burns down ?!" "do you have a house ?" "not yet..."
asciilifeform: the fella who sends away his harem and calmly swallows pistol is imho not thereby a neurotic. the neurotic is the one who dwells, and loses his mind long before loses body, on acct of dwelling
mp_en_viaje: consider the facts : 1. a permanent erection is a medical emergency. 2. every single female can, in fact, fuck permanently. 3. there's more than one of them as per the definition of the harem.
mp_en_viaje: is NOT NEEDED for this nightmare to be a nightmare. you can be worried that if you say x she may say y whether she;s there or not.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, indulge me. suppose you sit enthroned in your harem, and girly comes cuddling at your feet, like a cat. "master, please fuck me ?" now, your answer is gonna be no. this is a given, you simply can't keep up. and since it's a rational harem you're running there, she might inquire "but why not ?" and you say...
mp_en_viaje: telling a man with a problem "hey, your problem's not worth having" is a perfectly fine solution... for you. not for him. and so...
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920632 << you're eliding the problem though. lookit : my solution of "cunt's always on, fucking's whenever blablabla" isn't substantively better. it's different, yes, it's a helluva more fun, sure, it's overwhelmingly more productive, of course, but it is still not much of a solution, and certainly not any better. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 00:11 BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I am suspecting it is a conference joke I missed http://trilema.com/2014/ca-tot-s-a-tras-tot-s-a-fumat-tot-s-a-baut-tot-cum-e-peste-tot-la-fel-ca-peste-tot/#footnote_2_54005
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920631 << dude you're fucking right, it WAS a conference joke most everyone apparently meanwhile forgot. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: let's walk together into the oncology ward and sit ourselves down for a god damned minute and think.
mp_en_viaje: there's a succession of steps, in sovok. and one step's the peak. the difference between the step before the peak and the step that is the peak is precisely this : object went from "feeling good was easy whne stalin sang the blues" to "i'd trade all my tomorrows for one of yesterday"
asciilifeform: 'feel like a trader'(tm)(tlp)
mp_en_viaje: there's also a general choking of the future valve. but yes.
asciilifeform: plenty of idjicy to consider. e.g. there was a fixation at the time on solid-powder propellants ( for obv. icbm pluses, keeps better in storage, no need to fuel ) with repeated shoddy workmanship, pressed schedules, messy fails
mp_en_viaje: fwiw i do not believe the morons who ended up on suburbs acted purposefully. they ~ended up~ there, as the just desserts of a life spent being derpy. they didn't derpy deliberately, they just derpy.
mp_en_viaje: in the end our two explanation differ chiefly in the cognitive infrastructure you have to bolt on so it's not a case of russki idiocy
mp_en_viaje: i don't dispute they could've done a better job of it. i am saying they weren't.
mp_en_viaje: by a DYING empire.
mp_en_viaje: or put in other terms : soviet ship blew for exact same reason us ship blew, they just didn't have a feynman to chase politburo around with a beaker of iced seal rubber
mp_en_viaje: perhaps. it seems entirely unlikely it blew up through foreign agency. it seems perfectly likely it blew up through accumulation of failure. if a) you have an official error tolerance of 1% and b) your dying empire is calling 3.7% '1%" and c) you start stacking chairs more than 3 layers tall, well... it'll blow up x% of the time "inexplicably" every time, and the x is a function of the chair tallness.
mp_en_viaje: (not proposing here there's an organised thinking portion. but one day maybe they get a mp that cares and do organize, the 100% most likely to messiah place in the current world)
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-29#1920601 << iran is not "the persians". iran is the persians with a thin sliver of arabs pretending to rule them, like a sea cucumber you sprayed with latex exactly. the thinking portion hates the ruling portion, which is principally why they never get anywhere. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: it's kinda comedic to watch, tbh. "here's a people god's chasing all over the map to put things in their pockets while they drool"
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-29#1920602 << the us mostly used the oil domestically (for lack of practicable avenue of export, nobody nearby could afford to pay or had any use to it). pre-ww2 us is basically an exercise in doing the right thing by accident, like a man auditioning for the job of being the dirtiest man in the world having an accidental altercation with a garbage truck, six angry chimney sweeps and an oil slick onthe way there. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-27#1920455 << the reason i do not believe korea to be that interesting is that so much of their integration-resistence is built on deliberate blindness. if your computer is only safe if not connected to the internet, you don;t have an os of great interest. show it to be safe when online, then we'll have a talk. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-29#1920591 << the ~meaning~ of succession here is, "authority capable of predicating meaning was discontinued". it's not a matter biological, or political, but cultural. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: integration as a cultural phenomenon is catalized by communication infrastructure. always was, there's a reason medieval china collapsed in the arms of the steam-powered brits, or "multi-milenary" korea in japanese.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-29 22:35 trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-27#1920314 << too bad. the apparent mutual fixation of usg and ussg at their heights (and the echos of this in their dotage) persuades me that there was something special about both one upon a time.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-29#1920572 << the mutual fixation was a matter of convenience. way the fuck cheaper for each retard in class to pick the other as "archnemesis" than to actually confront reality. there's a reason ignatius reilly / minka minkoff or w/e her name is are writing to each other. ☝︎
asciilifeform wonders if there's a ro version. pretty sure i heard e.g. latvian variant.
trinque: asciilifeform: hypothesis is well summarized in a mircea_popescu trilema post I'll find
trinque: this isn't an implicit proposal to return to the past, just a finger pointing at the void
trinque: BingoBoingo: like "someday I'll post such a great pic on instagram I'll have the likes to buy a flat in miami" or what ☟︎
asciilifeform: it's a shared mythology made possible in part by expert propagandists in w. reich , hollywood et al, and by orc's desire to believe in an earthly paradise
trinque: the miami meme is still a little lost on me, born as I was in FL, shithole supreme.
asciilifeform: ended up. but -- and oddly to the uninitiated ear.. man was -- soft. he had a month or so to behead hrusch et al, didn't behead. ☟︎
trinque: stalin had 3 decades; that's time enough to beat on the head of a protege
trinque: you found your cock, congrats. I played a better christian dork in my teens than you've ever done.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I am suspecting it is a conference joke I missed http://trilema.com/2014/ca-tot-s-a-tras-tot-s-a-fumat-tot-s-a-baut-tot-cum-e-peste-tot-la-fel-ca-peste-tot/#footnote_2_54005 ☟︎
trinque: vikings and their spiffy gods got a great run out of it.
trinque: I would've earlier said that the ussa and ussr died quick because technology caused them to hit a complexity limit.
asciilifeform: spanish conquerors, pizarro, cortes, et al, had priests on board, exactly like sov submarine had 'polit'. and each Officially sailed in the name of jes^H^H^Hlenin etc. and priest ate and shat and with 0 to show for it. dun mean a thing.
asciilifeform: trinque: the Officially held sov-religion makes approx as much sense to innocent modern ears as, e.g. catholicism. it's imho largely a distraction from the meat.
trinque: I don't know about that. I'm meandering toward a point about narrative and the power thereof.
asciilifeform: cuz evidently no one there can design a 1970s-style computer. or even thing about why. why think, why be friends with yer head, when petropayola.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, i thought that was a reference to something prior.
asciilifeform: ( and not merely because of the obvious complication, tho it did not help -- e.g. peter also could not find a second one of himself to put in the throne ) ☝︎
trinque: do you see this as a management failure, inevitability, inferior stock, other?
trinque: it's hard to see a way this organized statal terror doesn't become self-licking-icecream-cone, and evidently it did
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-27#1920336 << I assume this means, among other things, that the statal terror (gulag etc) was a necessary part of the peasant-shithole to spacefaring transition? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 07:03 mp_en_viaje: trinque, i do not believe you will find such a thing as a useful history of rus' 20th century in this language, like you have say a useful history of the latin centuries 3-5.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-27#1920314 << too bad. the apparent mutual fixation of usg and ussg at their heights (and the echos of this in their dotage) persuades me that there was something special about both one upon a time. ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: In the saga of the worst sport, futbol. Uruguay was eliminated from the Copa America by Peru in a game where they put the ball in the goal three times during regulation play, none of which counted for various femstate reasons. Lost the 0-0 tie in a sort of coinflip dressed as a shootout.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in local news and international observers: https://archive.is/6YMHN "Una delegación de observadores internacionales que arribaron a Uruguay para las elecciones internas de los partidos políticos fueron asaltados mientras cenaban en un restaurante" "Entraron cinco o seis encapuchados rompiendo la puerta de vidrio. Todos tenían revólveres y máscaras y algunos escopetas"
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> where the fuck's the whole manticore thing coming from then ?! << During hanbot's missionary work to tardstalk, the manticore piece was one of the arts commisioned. Don't have the link on hand, but seems like a 2013 thing
asciilifeform: a++ phototour ☟︎
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/did-anyone-ever-notice-before-the-pierogi-are-shaped-like-a-twat-no-me-neither/ << Trilema -- Did anyone ever notice before the pierogi are shaped like a twat ? No ? Me neither.
mp_en_viaje: iirc that was a reference
asciilifeform if were drawn, prolly would be riding a tortoise or such
ave1: after a week of failure, a day at the beach awaits
ave1: at time like these I wish I had a store full of good remarks in my head, instead of tons of ways to program a stupid computer
mp_en_viaje: i just woke up in a roomful of passed out nude sluts
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, hahaha that's a thought
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> aint cr the land of famous rope bridges , 300m+ ? << Peruana grew up with those things. She's not a fan.
asciilifeform: naturally 'not real bridge', can't roll a train over it. i imagine the ones in cr were built by che guevara's partizans or somesuch, under cover of night
mp_en_viaje: i mean they're kinda cool as an "activity", but they're not real bridges, they're more like a niovelty.
mp_en_viaje: there's a reason there's not bridges made with no pontoons. at least not over anything you can't jump.
mp_en_viaje: yes, but they're still a scrap of textile hung from two points.
mp_en_viaje: i dunno who it's for, but incorrect weight distribution for my height, and elbow restrictive. wtf, it's like a sanitarium shirt
asciilifeform: ( it's ~no good for anyffin practical until i bake a cuntoo or at the very least a clean buildroot for it, and won't get chance for a while, thing is on back burner )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: thinking about it, would also like to eventually proclaim the mips tool set as a snsa production. but prolly premature for broadcast.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-28 10:23 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, there's a disease of stupidity, "who the fuck wants tablet, makes smartphone look good, who the fuck wants smartphone, makes atari look good, who the fuck wants atari, makes ibm at look good" etc etc.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-28#1920508 << may have come up before, but : asciilifeform uses tablets. on what else to read colour scan b00kwarez in a hammock ? ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: there is such a thing as evil in the world, and it's this preference for the worse of the underclass.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, there's a disease of stupidity, "who the fuck wants tablet, makes smartphone look good, who the fuck wants smartphone, makes atari look good, who the fuck wants atari, makes ibm at look good" etc etc. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: "El subsecretario de Relaciones Exteriores de Uruguay, Ariel Bergamino, anunció este jueves el retiro nuestro país de la 49 Asamblea General de la OEA en rechazo a la presencia de una delegación de representantes de Juan Guaidó en la asamblea como representantes de Venezuela. "
BingoBoingo: Probably more money could have been had building them with a substantial column lock and marketing them for 18 cuatos of XXXX pesos
BingoBoingo: But yes, whether a scooter got used or not during the day it is night collected for charging.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 17:42 BingoBoingo: Essentially it is a reverse parking meter with wheels
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 17:06 asciilifeform: afaik the last english periodical for intelligent non-professional who 'friends with his head' , was 'scientific american'. i have a set of these here, 1960-1990. pretty good, but no comparison with e.g. 'kvant'.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i still recall a time when ~errybody with pc compat 'made' in this sense
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:50 mircea_popescu: people did that sort of thing, back then. and all the fuckbook tards who paint the dude (rightfully or not, i don't give a shit) as the summum malum never as much as put together a fucking lego box.
mp_en_viaje: entirely possible, they'll end up with a pile of dementia as a result of smoke bans.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, exactly that's my theory : split 1 : a1 the ones helped / b1 the ones that didn't need help ; split 2 : a2 the ones demented ; b2 the ones not demented. the idea is a1 a2 are ~same, and in this context you can't pretend they're "a population". they're two.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: In this case it seems to be dementia hitting at younger portions of the extended life span. Could be the ones affected younger are more defective. Dementia though tends to be a rot of the cholinergic system.
mp_en_viaje: and it's not a technological discussion. it's a matter of philosophy, as in, internalized worldviews.
BingoBoingo: ^ Relatit, quick fix culture has a cost
