Mocky: i wont touch a mac, so lets not even go there
Mocky: for a living, well i wasn't good enough to sling dope, so i became a java programmer ☟︎
Mocky: got to reading some lesswrong stuff, made me think, eventually i rememberd how to think and realized i based my life on bullshit, so i blew it all up

Mocky: re: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815544 I've had my head up my own ass for so long I wonder where I've been keeping myself as well. I believed in a lot of things built a life on that, god, marriage, mortgage, best usa, being 'good citizen' ☝︎

mircea_popescu: how about instead of making the female worldview the male mental default and physical females socially unacceptable, we go about the other fucking way around! LIKE SANE PEOPLE!
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, what we're ~even fixing~ about computers is EXACTLY this : god damned, maintenance ? the whole "please upgrade" bs started exactly when the female worldview became socially acceptable.
asciilifeform: not so many current-day examples of this type of thing, afaik; but imho FG qualifies
mircea_popescu: it's an important fucking difference, "maintenance -- when i want ; not when it's needed. it's never needed". this is very much a male ideal, viz both the eastern ( http://trilema.com/2014/the-battlefield-of-the-future/#selection-93.458-93.517 ) and the western ( http://trilema.com/2016/mochila-o-muerte/#selection-87.64-99.1 ). this all follows from men being, well... http://trilema.com/2016/a-complete-theory-of-politics/#sel
mircea_popescu: a right right, i forgot that part! kalash == maitenance is an act of love and devotion, not a matter of necessity. this is deeper than it sounds, consider this recent exchange : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/NQRtP/?raw=true ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, well, certainly the first pretentious. lots and lots of stone soups in the history of human poverty.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you're aware, but such a thing isn't even supposed to be possible, and certainly not likely. so what do you do for a living ?

(here, "slave" is the republican term of art, not the imperial term of art. it denotes something akin to "everyone living in socialism" or "the products of a bureaucratic state", the guys populating 1984.)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815491 << notably, earliest (afaik) kolhoz. i.e. 100% tax on crop followed by palace redistribution. ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815489 << all of this so, and with a side dollop of 'withstands abuse, incl. irregular/nonexistent maintenance' ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: бyтaфopия typically refers to a physical accessory of a sham, in the movie set / potemkin village sense
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, in ro it's approx "papier mache" in the direct. ie, indistinct glue and crap used to make cheap theatrical decors.
asciilifeform: ha i had nfi this existed in ro
mircea_popescu: and since we're doing words, might also propose the great "butaforie" (ru бyтaфopия).
asciilifeform: i also did not notice fwiw until he pointed where in the film.
mircea_popescu: ie, i didn't ~invent~ it, i simply went through my lateral vocabulary picked something.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i hadn't even noticed that. i dun think i ever actually watched it that far in. srsly Mocky, it's a somewhat common term in hacker culture. esp the ru set.
mircea_popescu: the problem with it is how very fucking feminine it is. IT IS THE GIRLS!!!! that are supposed to spend hours in the mirror with the colored things, "getting ready", all the while mulling over in their mind how they're getting raped later on and how it'll go and so on.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 17:27 mircea_popescu: of course, most of this "money" isn't much more substantial than the imaginary fortunes of adolescents cycling through their fantasy business career after fapping and pre falling asleep.
mircea_popescu: there's this big great temptation to "prepare", like getting up a website, finding a new name, doing a WHOLE lot of adolescentine http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-07#1563435 masturbation. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 20:04 mircea_popescu: dude, just call. nevermind the "questions" and rest of the crap. spend 1/10 of the time you frittered away already "on" this to call, write up your report, "i, pete d, aspiring to one day lordship, spent 8 hours today cold calling. i managed a total of 76 calls, which would get me fired from the average call center but hey, i'm new. these 76 calls went to so and so, here's the script, here's why i ammended it and when, here's
a111: Logged on 2018-05-15 14:11 mircea_popescu: well, why not kick him while he's down. so, ben_vulpes , do you understand the meaning of "They know how to work those" in http://trilema.com/2013/attention-cunt/#selection-37.37-37.64 ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there was some proposal to shadow the name, but it got rejected. basically pete_dushenski spent a few months doing the entire http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-15#1813477 thing himself, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-03#1651459 ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: Mocky, no, actually, it's common term as term. http://btcbase.org/log/2012-09-06#-279203 http://btcbase.org/log/2013-12-22#429483 etc etc ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i seem to recall there was somebody who bought a few units and tried to resell with some name of his own making ( pete_dushenski ? ) and didn't seem to help him. so magic is not only in the name, it seems
mircea_popescu: not sure why, not like i specifically expected her to be successful. they're where they are because not very intelligent, not for other reasons.
Mocky: i thought it was a stretch but alfred at timecode ~5:00 is the only other place i can remember seeing the term
mircea_popescu: actually, she got excited, was gonna help the boys get out of idiocy, but then she didn't manage and never came back.
asciilifeform: the film imho was notbad, and then she even showed up here and said ~nothing substantial, and then fell again through the floor
lobbesbot: jurov: The operation succeeded.
jurov: !Q later tell BingoBoingo http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/HjOig/?raw=true
asciilifeform: incidentally whatever happened to that chix.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the ~idea~ was to name it something that'll make it impossible for the idiots to ~even think about it~.
mircea_popescu: was it mine ? in that case absolutely not related, i definitely only heard of the alfred thing after you said something.
asciilifeform: i dun recall the string being in 'alfred' tho
asciilifeform: iirc the convo was approx : asciilifeform : it's ready, nao what should we call it mircea_popescu : how about FUCKGOATS asciilifeform : loox good, let's

a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 15:19 BingoBoingo: Mocky: I don't remember a settled term for spear chuckers. Kalash's are sufficiently in circulation that literal spear chucking isn't much of a thing anymore. We do rip on societies here that remain pre-spearchucking in development like the Italians though.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-16 23:00 asciilifeform: asciilifeform notices that his desk has an uncanny resemblance to the one in 'ascension of alfred'
mircea_popescu: aanyway; there's a buncha alfreds in the logs ( http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=alfred ), including http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473532 ; but it'd seem the republic only heard of the item in question in 2017 : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-16#1671175 ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-05#1563132 << check it out, first log mention of fg is nov 5th 2016 ; fwicd the alfred thing was early now 2016. THE THEORY CAN NOT BE READILY DISPELLED! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it certainly predates the chick showing up here
a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 04:14 Mocky: I'm also curious if fuckgoats had its name inspired by the ascent of alfred
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815474 << afaik it predates that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: much like europe nearly drowned in the mongol invasion ; but europe very much wasn't inca, but polar opposite.
mircea_popescu: but yes, they thought they're the bees' knees', got wiped by the ~marginal~ elements of an onslaught. they weren't even fucking central.
mircea_popescu: look up its history sometime, it's instructively amusing. (no, "progress" and "change" and blablabla avatars of rooseveltian socialism aren't in any sense NOVEL. they're fucking ancient, reversion to pre-literate society.)
a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 03:53 Mocky: and also 'inca' is that like "group thinks they are a pinnacle-of-the-world civ but about to get wiped out" or just like "spear chuckers" ?

mircea_popescu: seems very transparently the issue to me.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, btw, i'm curious : has your fish friend figured out the "He admits he cannot name one other Christian leader outside his own little band of followers—anyone who has lived in the two millennia between the death of the last apostle and the advent of Darwin Fish—who has remained faithful to the truth." bla bla bla "criticism" is very strictly a http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22there+was+a+limit+where+the+fla ☟︎

mod6: Ah ok yeah, best to stay dry so you get rid of that cold.
mod6: maybe between pissings there'll be a chance to walk on the beach later, get ya outside a bit.
BingoBoingo: Ah, yeah. today is not a day for balcony computing.
mod6: Ah, sure. Doin kinda the same here.
BingoBoingo: Not too bad. The sky is doing that thing where it gets the ground wet, stops, and then wets the ground just as it is about to dry.

Mocky: and with http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-11#1321780 but it seems like you are using it for more and I can't tell if it's "minimal weapon that lets you climb out of swords and spear warfare" or if its "battle tested solidly reliable" ☝︎

Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815228 years ago there were sites that would crack a windows login for you if you paste in the hash. rainbow tables I expect. It would take about 10 seconds most of the time, but they made you wait 3 days. Or get it now for a price. Not sure if that appeals ☝︎

mircea_popescu: and i'm pretty sure the realization is spreading faster than they are. why would anyone bother to "keep the populace content" in 2018 ? to what exactly, get type A twitter storms ?
ben_vulpes: even some of the baisc ones.
mircea_popescu: it's not so much that "the shelves are empty". it's that the shelves aren't worth filling. not for these dorks.
ben_vulpes: ah shoot, thank you. the finer points have slipped away.

BingoBoingo: hanbot: That's why it's news. Part of the collapse freakshow.
mircea_popescu: but in general, the surest way to ensure the deepest level of hatred that can be summoned in any situation is to pretend to things outside purview. dumbos claiming to be "presidents" etc just about do it.
