pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: the article is merely observing that 48yo pack-
a-day smoking whoor looks black inside ~and~ outside
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: melamine biscuits are besides the point. the point is that muricans manifestly suck at not only using name materials like brick and stone, instead preferring shitboard, but that they can't even assemble them into anything coherent. really just
a reiteration of the old 'garbage in, garbage out' adage i guess.
mircea_popescu: eh get out of here. it's not so simple as all that. recall that famous japanese chick that fucked some dude to stick
a stilleto in his brain because he had won
a war / killed her father ?
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, do you not keep up with
a harem of women?
mircea_popescu: because she's not made of soap! to be an athlete you gotta work out ; to be
a cunthlete you gotta put out.
trinque: yep, I will write
a from-scratch RSS thing sometime this week.
mircea_popescu: whether she fucks them or not is immaterial, however. hence my recomendation of iran : he might discover that in
a hundred smoking hot virgin babes, thereby fitting his bill as stated, there's not
a single one worth the hassle.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1522033 << the idea is not entirely without merit. people are entirely made up of their heuristics ; much like
a child who spent the language-formative years among orangoutans will never make
a great tenor, writer or public speaker ; just so
a girl who spent the heuristic-formative years among retards will never make
a good whore, spymaster or etc.
☝︎ ben_vulpes: one cannot use
a commodity improperly.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1522021 << this is
a very naive view, based on the behaviour of poor beta bois. girls get "passed around" until they meet the right guy. who generally doesn't give much of
a shit who she fucks per se ; , but who does make her unavailable for teaming up with rando kids.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-15 18:28 danielpbarron: because 3) has
a father who cares
a111: Logged on 2016-08-15 17:52 thestringpuller: "The share of people under 30 who own
a business has fallen by 65 percent since the 1980s and is now at
a quarter-century low, according to
a Wall Street Journal analysis of Federal Reserve data."
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can't stand cocks in his porn, danielpbarron can't stand his cock touching
a cunt that might have had other cocks in it!
danielpbarron: not only is she defiled, so is the land. It's
a violent act to separate what God has joined. I have
a blog article that's nearly finished about just this.
phf: trinque: presumably the argument is that she gets through
a lot of sucky people before she gets to you, at which point you're not interested
trinque: danielpbarron: "should" leaves your argument to stand upon
a "because reasons".
trinque: that's like waiting to get
a job when the job for your True Self (TM) comes along
trinque: that describes
a property of you, not
a property of her
a111: Logged on 2016-08-15 12:34 mircea_popescu: dude fucking twitter is unreadable now. most of the screen is
a "promoted tweet" which 1) has exactly nothing to do with anything and 2) is exactly the sort of slimy, anticool, "here's me being sexy - with
a hoodie" stupidity. it's like all the girls that dedicated their adolescence to "abstinence only" moved on to "corporate advertising / governance" or some shit.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: for everyone else - there's the wot. and the fucking important point from this view of republican history to date is just this : we've actually built
a selection of magic spells that are both
a) magic to the user and b) fixable through
a definite process.
mircea_popescu: hence all the appeal of "colored coins" "dao" blablabla. to people with no experience or clue of reality whatsoever, it truly seems like
a complete solution - commodification without the downsides!!!
mircea_popescu: (the most successful to date thing tried, to resolve this - commodification - is turning out to be worse
a solution than no solution at all. between dicamba, alf's saw, my heater and hollywood movies, the point is pretty sorely obvious.)
mircea_popescu: so this is far from
a resolved problem. no actual action is required of you ; merely the understanding suffices.
mircea_popescu: but who knows, maybe if they give google its cut they'll be able to place bonds in
a year or two again. paul graham has the details.
mircea_popescu: much like if you're aiming to tell me google makes 70bn
a year out of people paying for online advertising...
mircea_popescu: in general, companies have
a serious problem - because unless they're on the "official list google returns results from", the business case is rather weak - companies don't live too long. bank has little reason to try and salvage the business of an entity that lives on average under
a decade.
mircea_popescu: anyway, not to say that the patient, organised, large entity can't actually tailor something that works for them ; but for retail (ie, you're worth millions or less) customer to expect they get THAT by default is cruisin' for
a bruisin'. which is not so much of
a problem generally because the lifestyle of us peonry is very narrow anyway.
phf: asciilifeform: banks don't have to close the account, and if your account has been linked to visa, they have to keep it mandatory open for the duration of something like 10 years from your last transaction, which is how long visa network can claim
a chargeback
phf: asciilifeform: i don't think that's "secret", that's somewhere in the contract that you sign with
a visa network, which is separate from bank's contract
mircea_popescu: just like there is no "fuck you and your alimony, until and unless customer signs you
a checque you can go dangle"
mircea_popescu: phf depends. you mean "the overdraft thing" as
a feature to serve you, or as
a feature to serve them ?
phf: the overdraft thing, i thought, is
a feature, that you negotiate when you sign the contract
mircea_popescu: so you keep having to scream and threaten, ie, half
a mil over two decades.
phf: i find it convenient, that, so far, i was able to walk into branches in different parts of the world, and extract 2-3k at
a time to cover me for
a few days of vacation. sometimes i also get sloppy (3am, i'm drunk), so i'll pull money from atm in some dodgy location
phf: i have
a card that's linked to my spending account, where i have to explicitly go and transfer money from
a different account. at most i'm standing to lose $5k or so
phf: asciilifeform: this is empty rhetoric unless you're actually not using
a bank account
mircea_popescu: but you know, the nightmare scenario is when seven+ figure account is linked to half
a dozen cards which regularly pay for things such as "dinner for six at chez victor".
mircea_popescu: i actually use
a clip. it's pretty great, can swallow
a hundred bill stack vertically, or else just folds whatrever.
trinque: y'know... I bet he has
a few of them buttcoins.
mircea_popescu: and no, you can't find
a branch pretty much anywhere outside the us. what you find and don't know any better are independent organisations that bought the right to use the name.
mircea_popescu: if i have
a roll and i want to pay 2k, i peel 2k off the roll. if i have
a card i do what, wait for
a week to get 400 / day ?
phf: that's another thing, can find
a branch pretty much anywhere
thestringpuller: mod6: it's insane man. the AI in Absolution is
a beast. when you kill someone normally, like with gun or fiber wire, it leaves marks on the body, and AI will see that. so they detect someone is there. however, there are ways people can die where the AI is just like "Huh. That's
a shitty way to go." For instance I put some kinda acid in this d00ds hair regrowing gel or whatever. he puts it on, and it melts his head off and everyone aro
phf: asciilifeform: as far as i gather they have highest ground coverage of all banks on account of running the world, which means that i can get
a no fee atm pretty much anywhere
mircea_popescu: yeah. the very sharp desperation come to think of it was more of
a ro thing. everyone else, from yugos and poles all the way over to moscow had
a lot more sense than to take socialism seriously.
mircea_popescu: "we can't get
a table straighter than 0.3% but we'll discuss bitcoin"
mircea_popescu: soon enough they're going to have
a nother one of these, right ?
a111: Logged on 2014-07-07 14:00 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'terminator seed' is actually
a very intriguing instrument from the standpoint of the mega-state. solves the ancient problem of the peasants not really needing the state for much of anything (as described in j. scott's 'the art of not being governed.')
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: If your only "competition" is Toni Lane Caserole, I'm
a little sad inside.
mircea_popescu: sigh. fucking derivative culture. anyone got
a link to goatse ?
a111: Logged on 2015-01-30 05:50 mircea_popescu: the socialist state does not want
a normally functioning society, but instead this stellar configuration where the state is at the center,
mircea_popescu: is this the guy with the story about how he fucked
a 16yo french girl on the riviera because at the time ?
mircea_popescu: dude fucking twitter is unreadable now. most of the screen is
a "promoted tweet" which 1) has exactly nothing to do with anything and 2) is exactly the sort of slimy, anticool, "here's me being sexy - with

☟︎ mircea_popescu: where by so on i mean truly basic stuff such as "what happens to
a tub when you open the faucets and plug the drain ???"
mod6: <+thestringpuller> mod6: hitman has taught me that
a lot of accidents in the world may not have been accidents << aha, 'tis
a great game isn't it?
thestringpuller: mod6: hitman has taught me that
a lot of accidents in the world may not have been accidents
mircea_popescu: the pruned-middle being
a reference to buffett and that fiscal discussion, "in which you become grain"
mircea_popescu: finance discussion, like most discussion as well as practice in "civilised society" suffers from
a pruned-middle problem.
mod6: this is mainly
a learning device anyway. as now I can take what i've learned here and apply it to the makefiles.
mod6: with some additional work (encoding & signing the buildroot deps) and
a simple guide, this could be
a thing shortly.
