mircea_popescu: it's very
true
that i'd have never given a shit had nobody said something
to me about it on my blog ; but it's just as
true
that ~the reason~ i
took
that stance was specifically
that someone ~was going
to~ say something
to me on my blog, about
that as about anything else worth
the note, because
that's what i built it as for fucks' sake.
mircea_popescu: these went nowhere because a) not directly related
to something i was working in at
the
time and b) not nearly as well respected source in my eyes --
though perhaps
the order's reversed. in any case, it was very much "guy i know raised a sorta-objection
to
the completeness of my research which had
to be remedied", and if one
thinks
the bias in such a context is ever anything but "get rid of it"
that one's very naive indeed.

took me all of half week
to find
the bitcoin-otc in 2011, and
this considering a) i hadn't been on irc in a decade ; b) i
thought computers are idiotic and computer dweebs idiotic-er still for simply being involved with
them ; c) was looking for sufficient cause
to dismiss
this bitcoin bullshit.
BingoBoingo: In a civilizations
that don't have
taboos against ambition,
they'd be cheering
to win
BingoBoingo: First
time
they won was maybe a kilometer away from here
though
BingoBoingo: And
they've won several
times... plural I have been
told
BingoBoingo: Well,
they have won.
Their lack of ambiton
though... Everyone is
talking like making
the QUARTER FINAL is
the stretch goal
they are cheering for...
BingoBoingo: The orks here have...
the saudis, Russia, and Egypt in
their group
hanbot fully expects
the cr
team
to ask .rs and .br if
there's anything
they can do
to help
them kick
their own asses
mircea_popescu: chicks in
team colors going down
the street and whatnot. banks falling over each other
to sell world cup branded banknonsense
mircea_popescu: it'll be a wonder if
they score one goal. but
they're excited!!!
mircea_popescu: but in other lulz :
these little orcs here,
they fucking love soccer. love it. and it's
the world cup, and
their group is... serbia. and brazil.
mircea_popescu: in other words, elderly ukrs got insufficient assfucking, i hope
their childrens get sold
to fight in africa. what fucking iphones.
mircea_popescu: whore lines are "hey, do you want me
to
tell you a joke ? if it's not fukky you can fun me for free" not fucking hilary clintonisms & naggingisms a la "let me
tell you some shoulds"
mircea_popescu: whore GETS
TO WORK. yes naked, yes on hands and knees, yes right nao.

they fitted 'general electric' fuel rods
to
the 1 remaining sov reactor, it is a pop waiting
to happen
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 03:16 asciilifeform late evening, listening
to elderly ukrs derp on shortwave re horror of
their neet chillunz derping on ipnojes; where
to read re antennae design; putin.
ben_vulpes: why
the very expensive gazprom clause
then?
ben_vulpes: "While
the rulings of
the Stockholm court were not made public...Naftogaz managed
to avoid Gazprom's major claim ... almost 60% of Ukraine's GDP", so is
this "the poor ukranians can't actually even pay
the penalty, so we're cancelling
the clause"?
ben_vulpes: "the stockholm international arbitration court cancelled retroactively
the
take-or-pay clause forseen in
the 2009 contract with Russia's Gazprom"
mircea_popescu: for some reason
that was a most delicious unhappening & rehapenning
target.
mircea_popescu: if one's into sads, one should look at what's left of anarchism, in
the contemporary pantsuit retellings.
mircea_popescu: and yeah, do you realise
this, i wasn't even wearing black shirts until some point past bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: what loose what glue
trap ? you're either looking or you're not looking ; and if you're not looking a) age dun improve anything and b) god himself riding on a pogo stick can'd help you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, woman even said
this somewhere, i dun recall where, possibly on one of her meanwhile disappeared blogs,
that "i used
to
think my walls were white
then you sat
there and against your shirt
they looked grey".
mircea_popescu: hanbot, ikr ? somehow
this never occurs
to
the idiots.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 01:55 cnomad: i'll get
to it when i get
to it
hanbot:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824840 << why not save
that shit for oh, iono,
the DMV? do you
tell
the fucking IRS "i'll get
to it when i get
to it"? no, you stand in line/wait on hold for
three hours,
thrilled as fuck
to say "urr, hurr, yes sir" at
the endless
tide of bullshit,
then come here and practice what you should've said
to
them,
to us? completely fucking misdirected.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: when we originally met, chet was more
than
twice my age. she got a divorce and moved
to romania of all places. so no, it's not impossible. but
then again,
the chain of possibility is an ~unbroken~
thing, much like
the chain of blocks or
the chain of
trust.
mircea_popescu: and so is dutch stuck with
the academia. and so is boring-40yo stuck with "her family". and so on.
mircea_popescu: point is, when he was 2yo he didn't use his brain in
the manner of people ; but in
the manner of wolves.
that window of brain plasticity meanwhile closed, and if he'll never be a very good wolf, he's certainly not getting
to enroll
to people university.
mircea_popescu: wolf-child, incapable of speech, is also not
thereby necessarily "was retarded 2yo".
a111: 2014-10-17 <undata> mircea_popescu:
ty
lobbes: Lucky for me, my
Ti branches were easy
to prune: I simply had
to grow a shit-ton of
Ts
lobbes: Hell, I came in and started reading logs in mid 2014.
Took me damn near 2 years
to grok what I was reading and finally produce something useful
mircea_popescu: anyway, no shortage of examples,
trinque came in, asked specific questions, got specific answers, blew his mind away, changed his nick.
trinque: take
the example of esthlos recently, dood was being kinda hard
to read, uncommunicative. I jabbed directly at forehead on
that matter, and lovely vtron pops out
the other side
mircea_popescu: what, is
the proposition
that i'm some kind of genius ?
mircea_popescu: it
took me all of half week
to find
the bitcoin-otc in 2011, and
this considering a) i hadn't been on irc in a decade ; b) i
thought computers are idiotic and computer dweebs idiotic-er still for simply being involved with
them ; c) was looking for sufficient cause
to dismiss
this bitcoin bullshit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the other fucktard in
the class was periodically whining his idiocy at me, if i recall.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing ~creative~ here, in
the meaning of creative of "you gotta say 39834908503485093485 and you'll never manage
this magic number by
trying numbers".
trinque: was just about
to say, he's praying, or calling for mother, on his blog
there.
mircea_popescu: that's what it is : he wants, and
thereby i know he was raped as a child.
mircea_popescu: it is
the natural state ;
the idiocy is ~inculcated~, by idiot mothers principally,
through ~sexual abuse of children~.
mircea_popescu: the only correct approach is "i couldn't give less of a shit about all of it and what's
this do ?!"
mircea_popescu: no, he's lost soul because he wants
to communicate.
that upon so wanting he
then proceeds
to "sate"
that want "as best can be done" is not even separable.
mircea_popescu: it's quite another
thing
to wants ; and yes, he definitely wants, because if he didn't he'd just proceed from cause and would have been here begging his pardons upon
the first
time he read
the logs, rather
than fail
to do so
the 500th.
