The problem is that man can indeed be content ~anywhere. Nevertheless, I find myself being sucked closer and closer to the intake of the mass
chumpatron. My time, my money, my sanity, slowly but surely slipping away with each day

mp_en_viaje: there's no argument that this can be done. it's a
chumpatron, definitionally : get a buncha chumps gathered around an economically exploitable weakness, you thereby have a negotiable instrument that can thus therefore be sold for money. the argument is that doing this ~is not useful~

☟︎☟︎☟︎ Mocky: also, central air units don't feed the
chumpatron. room units: huge market constantly turning, repairmen "fixing", "workers" installing, refurbishers
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the basic of the usg
chumpatron is this precise process, "very little" -> "very much", ie, he went from 1 beer money to 50`000 beer money. this is growth, yes ?
Mocky: re: ~DELIVER~ right around the fence: there's a lot of zeks employed working around the appleness to make new shiny for the epsilonians. part of the
chumpatron mircea_popescu: it's a whole
chumpatron, doing away with your social security & pension funds.
mircea_popescu: the socialist
chumpatron is only flavoured ~AT THE INTAKE HOPPER~.
mircea_popescu: best construction i can put on it is, "closest pantsuit can come to saying
chumpatron operator wanted".
mircea_popescu: but yes, in principle a
chumpatron op shouldn't be losing money, seeing how they translate into reality an ideal good : the disenfranchising of idiots.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-13 15:14 mircea_popescu: the hanno boecks always work in the same cycle. feeder phase where they "seem reasonable" and
chumpatron phase where they shed the half-hour-horizon idiots who bought it.

☟︎ phf:
chumpatron is from "lohotron" where loh is a chump, it's a word play on "lototron" which is a lottery machine
mircea_popescu: you know, chumpatrons are a thing, yes, but there's no 0 cost extraction. there's plenty of chumps who, while carrying nonzero chumpatronium, are also worth below 0 on the
chumpatron raw materials market.
mircea_popescu: however it is telling that the leavers all seek the same thing - and it isn't the city per se. it's just "self-realization" ie, the opposite of the above alienation. essentially, they seek to not be
chumpatron engineers.
mircea_popescu: that's, i suppose, the actual point here : that while building chumpatrons ~is~ feasible ; and in many actually encountered circumstances it ~is~ productive ; nevertheless a
chumpatron is not a tank. not merely by coincidence of design, like a spoon is not a fork, but could pass for a fork in a bind. a
chumpatron is not a tank fundamentally, nor could ever be a tank of any kind to any degree, much like a stove can't cool your
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'd suspect this is actually the main entry intake for botnet
chumpatron.

chumpatron ☟︎ funkenstein_: hey thanks. my goal has been to learn something. the testnet

chumpatron going early in life
ascii_field: for all i know, it is a '90s-style
chumpatron like the last elbrus !
ascii_field: (what is it called when honest folks end up doing this duty for a
chumpatron..)
decimation: not realizing the complete
chumpatron they are entering
decimation: pirate faces difficult choice: be effective and go to jail/enter 'justice'
chumpatron or be ineffective and waste time
decimation: hire non-idiots who don't want to enter the
chumpatron somewhere where feeding real estate isn't the entire economy
decimation: lol because the suing class consists entirely of people who willingly entered the aforementioned
chumpatron decimation: surely at least some of the meat doesn't want to enter the
chumpatron mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Pure
chumpatron to drain actual Ulbricht supporters of resources << and the fact that kid would sign off on this - pretty disgraceful.
BingoBoingo: Pure
chumpatron to drain actual Ulbricht supporters of resources
BingoBoingo: Seriously, this has all the promise of a great
chumpatron except every now and then a customer does something worthwhile
decimation: I thought it was well known that anything to do with 'popular music' is essentially nothing more than a marketing
chumpatron funkenstein_: space, the final frontier. to boldly go where no
chumpatron has gone before
isaackl: And some fish just love to gamble. I used to do marketing for the mobile-slots
chumpatron, humorously people pay real money but they can't cash out real money
punkman: 21 seems like a reasonable
chumpatron to me
decimation: ^warning to people who want to enter the us police
chumpatron trinque: ascii_field: so corporatize the "
chumpatron", not the lab, and own both
mircea_popescu: for the other it's not ok to admit urbit exists strictly because a) yarvin's
chumpatron attempt failed just at the time b) usg was looking for a particular tool
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ancientstuff, before coming up with his current
chumpatron he was doing the sort of thing bitpay guy is trying to bury
mircea_popescu: in any case, gotta admire how narrowly the
chumpatron works.
