mircea_popescu: i certainly spent way more time chatting with whores than fucking them. no regrets.
mircea_popescu: this somewhat in the vein of "i want to believe these eggs weren't actually shat by the dumbest thing on the farm."
mircea_popescu: retreating where exactly is an open question, but sure.
mircea_popescu: "somebody who has no other options, evidently" "oh yeah, and HOW did they end up not having other options ?" "ikr! SOCIALISM FOREVAR!!1"
mircea_popescu: anyway, this shift from "spend your free time getting better and let the others acquire that as best they can" to "spend your free time giving yourself for free and forget improvement" is very much the reason america even needs to be made great again. r&d ended up cut out of the loop as it were ; who wants the time of some dork "as she is".
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski well there is that nice video of the girl sticking dildos inside etc
mircea_popescu: at some point in the 60s/70s it was mostly about personal achievement
mircea_popescu: so it kept pushing teenage ditzes into old people's homes and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: you know, sororities supposedly existed not to get the members deflowered but to "service the community"
mircea_popescu: is the "charitable" pretense that was going on in the 90s still going strong or is it starting to go away ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski nice, your stuff is all laid out for you.
mircea_popescu: and the ~only "media" they study in this "multimedia" is youtube shorts.
mircea_popescu: label entirely bereft of any meaning, it's like going to cooking school called "alchemy"
mircea_popescu: and "communications" and "arts" and "multimedia" and "drama" and the list goes on
mircea_popescu: us college exists principally to make young women comfortable with being naked in public and such basics, as far as anyone can tell.
mircea_popescu: phf i was thinking, wtf, college for any other purpose than slut magnet ? where's he live.
mircea_popescu: "we created ai that can pass any college exam. it... counts letters."
mircea_popescu: actually (evidently nobodyu's done this, because hurr, experts, hurr, cryptographers, hurr durr) but it would be amusing to run simple word length averaging on random selection of multiple choice tests, see how often you can crack it with no other measure
mircea_popescu: phf it's interesting how un-alphabetic their approach is, also. "you will learn these three hieroglyphs ; and shame on mp for using longer words than 4 letters, it's not really writing when you do that!"
mircea_popescu: at a time the usian methodists etc were trying hard to resist that tide all over east coast mill towns
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt it needed any help with that ; by churchill's time england was entirely that already. started in manchester cca 1800s.
mircea_popescu: dude they don't have to be stupid just because they're stupid.
mircea_popescu: same thing with fucking apple, "we'll make tools that make the users dumb but happy". really ? and who will defend you, when the guys who made their users smart but uncomfortable come seeking your head ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the bankruptcy of this approach would be evident to anyone functionally literate. or for that matter vaguely numerate.
mircea_popescu: it has to be mp in #trilema, there's nobody among all those according-to-them important thinkers to have added these twos together.
mircea_popescu: somehow exactly nobody in the idiocratic party stood up at the convention and said "the reason we couldn't get our girl elected is that for 30 years while we had the resources, we squandered them on sucking black dick instead of spending them on whips for the same blacks"
mircea_popescu: you don't fucking want to gain approval in the herd at the cost of diminishing herd quality. who the fuck runs a herd like this!
mircea_popescu: somehow the idiocy of self-hat-stealing is never evident. and it's not just a matter of politics. single-wife marriages are generally exercises in "trying to keep the woman as stupid as possible". why, exactly ? not like she's not your woman, if you make her dumb who the fuck is going to defend you when you run into a guy with a dozen women and a fleet of battleships ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but it also produces a 90% majority of people who nevertheless can't "influence the elections"
mircea_popescu: o look, the wikipedia article on "white flight" manages to somehow be all about "environmental racism" and other bullshit.
mircea_popescu: and it also hides the fact that half of those under 30 aren't qualified to be dressed in public under the "one in three" all ages bs.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "A Robert Emery 2007 report found that about one-third of Washington residents are functionally illiterate, compared to a national rate of about one in five."
mircea_popescu: but it was under 50% white in 2011 for the first time, mind.
mircea_popescu: there is some substance to what you say in the sense that it gains like 10k per year.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody in the 250k dc residents who vote there are slaves, gtfo. it's 100% middle class jewish with unwarranted aspirations and a drug habit.
mircea_popescu: the ~only way a "professional" bureaucracy may survive is if it has no particular strong preference.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, look at the results, they go 60/40 to 40/60. the 90/4 thing is an outlier, evidently it'll ahve to be crushed.
mircea_popescu: coupla hundred thousand dorks who imagine dc is their own personal github, to write "codes of conduct" for and come up with "restricitve political stances" and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: in any case the DC must be strangled, wtf is this, 90% hillary ? really ? that's the deep reason for all the fake news, all the unemployable idjits working as "staffers" and moonlighting as "journalists".
mircea_popescu: so as per a) it'd be west virginia (dude got 68.63% o.o) or else the 3rd district of nebraska. as per b) i guess pennsylvania. hold it in harrisburg ftw.
mircea_popescu: fuck you washington dc, i get 4% of the vote you get 96% income slashed off.
mircea_popescu: why even fucking entertain a bad restaurant where the waitresses (with singer-songwriter aspirations) and busboys (rappers!) didn't even vote for you ?
mircea_popescu: maybe send pence's secretary to send your regards to the washington thing and thatssat.
mircea_popescu: well logically, wouldn't you go hold your inauguration in either a) the state where you got the highest % or else b) in the state where hillary got the greatest margin below what she expected ? say something like "there's some people in this country who think they're better than everyone else, and i don't want to hang out with them"
mircea_popescu: dude... i had no idea this world was actually so full of important people.
mircea_popescu: ed. But we don't know what the causes are, nor how to deal with it."
mircea_popescu: "Regardless of how you view Trump and his positions, his election has led to a deep, deep sense of uncertainty and that will cast a long shadow over Davos," said Jean-Marie Guehenno, CEO of International Crisis Group, a conflict resolution think-tank. Moises Naim of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was even more blunt: "There is a consensus that something huge is going on, global and in many respects unprecedent
mircea_popescu: oh, let the forgotten not be forgotten : "NPR-3 hours ago Iraqi forces are nearing what is expected to be the toughest part of the fight for the northern Iraqi city of Mosul."
mircea_popescu: "But along with the celebrations, there will be a week of protest against a man who insulted Mexicans and Muslims and boasted about groping women. There were demonstrations against Richard Nixon in 1973 and George W Bush in 2001, but nothing on the scale Trump faces in Washington, a liberal bastion where he took just 4% of the vote (even Bush managed 9% in 2000). " << maybe dude moves the capital to salt lake city. wouldn't T
☟︎ mircea_popescu: This is unlike any inauguration we’ve seen,” said Ben Wikler, Washington director of the progressive group MoveOn.org. “We’ve never seen a counter-inauguration that dwarfs the crowd at the inauguration itself. It will be unmistakeable where the energy is. It will be in the broad and diverse movement to oppose the Trump agenda.” <<->>
http://trilema.com/2016/and-they-wont-fucking-yield/ mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, everyone agrees the us is a colony now, but from that it doesn't exactly follow which bits fall into which spheres of influence does it.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile "trump is with putin". why, because he gets in the way of the fake news being with china ?
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : the news on china today is : the guardian pretending like china's telling trump what's what ; fox news pretending like china's telling trump what's what ; abc online sanely representing the situation ; cnn pretending like china's telling trump what's what ; nbcnews pretending like china's telling trump what's what ; washington post pretending like china's telling trump what's what in new words rather than
mircea_popescu: and in other things you had nfi about, "Northern Light Group, LLC is a company specializing in strategic research portals, enterprise search technology, and text analytics solutions."
mircea_popescu: mats yeah but if trump withdraws em it's basically a two week vacation.
mircea_popescu: of having an array (which is what "archive" means, it's not a fucking list)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i have words from mp's free critique services : 1. too big font, too much whitespace => way too few words in right column ; 2. single utility column => too much scrolling to get articles ; 3 no good structuring of history (and i dun care about your categories enough to want them listed) ; 4. bad idea to put whole article in archive listing, because then you have to paginate the months which defeats the whole point
