mircea_popescu: dog-pets work fine for 5 to maybe 11 or 12yo boys, but this mostly because the kid will pull its ears etc.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes notrly. i mean i dunno, to my eyes the whole "dog as pet" thing is kinda inept. get a hunting dog, go hunting with it, suddenly it's a lot more respectable an animal.
mircea_popescu: and in fairness i dun think i have to bid anyoine shut up once a week.
mircea_popescu: 's teh problem, he can just turn part of the corvette into an office!
mircea_popescu: vaguely recall this being discussed round the original crisis.
mircea_popescu: i thought we're pretty much aware it's 1000000, but anytway
mircea_popescu: depends on which kindergarten one went to amirite alfier
mircea_popescu: i had the idea it actually does verify sigs just not scripts.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that illuminated by previous comments / my understanding of his work.
mircea_popescu: i would much prefer an empty kingdom. i utterly have no use of these softie surogate idiot-usian parenting types.
mircea_popescu: had mp not happened to make a comment and alf to insist and mp to read this bullshit, mp'd have never known what miserable immoral acts bernstein engages in regularly. and nobody'd have told him.
mircea_popescu: correct strategy when dealing with the empire of idiots -- hang the idiots, not their handlers.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i will certainly hang the "nice people" in preference of the poetterings. just like trump does.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am not of the persuasion that poettering, ie, out and out wrecker, is in any sane sense worse than jwz, ie, "i'm just going to silently and passively enable the valence idiots".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't give a shit about answers. i perceive i must send him a one liner "you should be ashamed of yourself", because HE SHOULD FUCKING BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF.
mircea_popescu: not for a fucking second. he is enabling the misbehaviour of 30yo children. i gotta do more work bitchlapping these idiot cunts into the ground because he buys them food and doesn't makle them pay for the shiot they break.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he "will spend significant time" to find... "Research" tasks adequate to that fuckdolls "level" yet he can't be bothered to figure out how deedbot works ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: suddenly he's a novelist when these grease spots are concerned
mircea_popescu: guy is as terse as if he'd be writing with ass clicker when doing actual work
mircea_popescu: idiot actually wrote a 12k word about this inept bullshit. where's his fucking 12k word discussion of any of his ACTUAL FUCKING WORK
mircea_popescu: but anyway, back to the upstream :
https://archive.is/9zD8D#selection-9.3336-9.4865 the whole thing is rather damaging of bernstein's own standing and credibility. he engages in this sort of behaviours, he isn't much of a man, and certainly the sordid tale of his misbehaviour disabused me of any intention of rating him on the basis of his work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lots and lots of this, mostly mildly entertaining brat (term of art) upset she sucks at it and GETTING EVEN!!11
mircea_popescu: bing his floor. I want to be perfectly clear that there was nothing fun or kinky about this. I don't enjoy humiliation, and it was not a consensual part of our sex life."
mircea_popescu: "During these discussions there was a lot of gaslighting. One discussion in particular, he claimed that I had somehow deeply injured him (I don't remember what I did) and was inconsolable. I kept asking him what I could do, and finally he insisted that for him to feel better I needed to clean his floors naked. And I did it. I cried the whole time, in surreal horror. He cheered up and took photos of me, crying and naked, scrub
mircea_popescu: "I was in an abusive relationship with Jake for six months in 2009. We parted on ostensibly amicable terms and have had little contact since then. When the accusations of professional misconduct and predatory sexual behavior were made public, I believed them, not just because I value and respect the men and women who made these accusations, but also because they sounded just like him. I saw him use those same strategies years
mircea_popescu: seafood also contributes a healthy dose. especially these days.
mircea_popescu: (it's for instance one of the very few legitimate causes of cancer-from-smoking, notwithstanding the blanket nonsense spewing from ourdemocracytards.)
mircea_popescu: polonium occurs from uranium decay ; and chemically masquerades sulphur which makes it a joker in many biological pathways.
mircea_popescu: possibly one reason the eskimos are retarded, for instance.
mircea_popescu: why not the proven-to-work ricin thing, neh. who knows these things.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to not misguide noobs : litvenko, usg agent that got murdered by the fsb in london, was poisoned with polonium. the alpha emitter effect of the metal, while present, was not necessarily. polonium is chemically toxic, much more so than cyanide, ld50 being in the microgram range (ie 1000ths of a grain of salt).
mircea_popescu: and plastic spoons are pretty bad. imagine -- i got silver silverware here!
mircea_popescu: this "kitten is apparently half-capable of thought" scenarios always disturb me.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was just a specially treated waste disposal method
mircea_popescu: this isn't simil-granite for putting on yoru wall ; actual rock dug out from ground and polished. imo better than jade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you have no idea. it's worth 150% there of what it'd be worth anywhere else.
mircea_popescu: phf nah these are quite elegant actually. and ferous granite also, it's a slpendor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i were actually doing > 2 tons or so i'd have bothered. but really didn't have enough to juysrtify actual shipping
mircea_popescu: i have nfi wtf scam this is, but it makes entirely no sense whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, it is way the fuck cheaper to overweight flights than to fedex. by a factor of like, 2.
mircea_popescu: but aside from a whole crate with like 50 pogos in their original packaging, i carried over two granite mortar&pestle arrangements. because fu, i gotta have my pie spices hand ground.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't perjure you, they didn't get sold or left in argentina, so. all good.
mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit about any excuses. this is the first, and the most important criterion of any place. no airport coolies, not civilised.
mircea_popescu: btw -- here's a new mp rule : if the airport you land at does not have porters waiting at the ready, you have landed in the third world.
mircea_popescu: though i did give a fiddy to the porter who handled all of it, dude earned it. also made his day quite evidently.
mircea_popescu: ftr, mp put > 200kgs worth of mostly electronica through customes at $mystery-location. took all of 5 minutes and $0 in fees.
