mircea_popescu: the only problem is the very lulzy soviet-style gerontocracy involved. i mean, they've nobody but 90yos left to "leadership" them, and if they need somebody to star in a tv production it's gonna be a dude born in the 50s ?! still, today as in 1970, as in 1980, as in forever, the heroes of socialist labour are the same exact physical items ?
mircea_popescu: fry and laurie was this long running british tv show made to fill the hole left by monty python. it was rabidly socialist to an utterly offensive degree, and made the popularity of both faggots involved (among the uk bernie sandals crowd)
mircea_popescu: anyway, at least i found out there's nothing on tv without having to buy one.
mircea_popescu: wtf, they've run out, next big thing on tv is going to be... mr bean.
mircea_popescu: no dood, they're just fucking stupid. i watch 1970s adriano celentano made-for-tv movies recently tho, so it's pretty much the same thing.
tecuane: tv show but you probably dont watch those
mircea_popescu: 100% costi rogozanu, 9 articles since sept. basically a 1/100th of a qntra, "trustul realitatea media" (wikilink because notable keks)
mp_en_viaje: if it weren't for those guys, all there'd be on tv would be bronco busting, wrestling an' etcetera. look up Bonnie McCarroll & women bronc riding to see the fuck i mean.
mp_en_viaje: until that time comes, it's the optionality show on days of his lives channel, no problemo. like for instance he could... what could he do ? he could never miss a day of tv, or jury duty, or sucking dick at the airport, or whatever the fuck else (by which "else" i do mean ~same~) they do in the zone.
mp_en_viaje is watching some game of handball on tv in the background. "who's that one ?" "the blondy with the ponytail ?" "no, the other one" *tap* *tap* *tap* "1.69" "motherfucker".
hanbot: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-15#1951420 << recall those several tv channels in .cz entirely dedicated to "women standing around arguing with occasional intervention from men in 'authority' uniform" (incidentally didn't you mention this somewhere? i've been trying to find it for 20mins, fucking hell)? i don't think it's so much that people even like playing the role, per se; the public has a MAJOR fetish for it. i betcha most peop
mp_en_viaje: i pulled out chairs on top balcony overlooking it and we had drinks watching the morons fight late summer banat grass with a wheedwhacker. it was better than tv.
mp_en_viaje: in other news, czechs have this "rebel" tv station. lotta pantera / ancient metal , modern sad lulz both local and int'l, and all sorta pink flamingo-likes.
mp_en_viaje: the fact that you don't "close the contract cleanly" is a cost to them and them alone, it affects you exactly not at all. let them pay for the service if they wish to have the service -- says the man who'd bill the US congress appearance fees to testify before it, like any other TV network.
mp_en_viaje: and for that matter no cosmetics -- if girl at home ain't tryna immitate the girl selling news on tv, what need for rouge ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-06 09:03:39 mp_en_viaje: Hi, I’m John D., your father and in this episode of Rated ARM TV, I’m gonna tell you the story of how I personally dismantled my own already incredibly awesome life in an attempt to give you, my one and only son a much better one than I had as a child, why it had to be done, and why this type of sacrificial behavior is one of the main ingredients of being A Real Man."
mp_en_viaje: but i have time to read shaw's deeply inept attempt, like i have time to all sorta things. not because "there's nothing else on tv" anyway, wtf, there was literal parade of sluts, came naked through hotel to see maybe i have time for kitty ? as it happens i didn't. will, later, defo. what can you do.

mp_en_viaje: pretty sure it was in some made-for-tv 80s thing
mp_en_viaje: they're doing lulzy desperations on the tv too, "historic week interviews with pelosi's daughter" and assorted festivist nonsense.
BingoBoingo: Wat do? Take out more development loans to burn on feeding the Buenos Aires hungry mouths warehouse? That's run its course. All they have left to try is Africa style "feed a child for a dollar a day" infomercials on late night tv.
snsabot: Logged on 2017-10-25 14:27:40 mircea_popescu: anyway, to revisit the matter of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-25#1728843 : adrian sirbu, possibly the only romanian to have done anything since 1989 (he created the deliberate usg tool Pro Tv in 1995, a media company whose wikipedia page no longer mentions him -- very much a successful equivalent of the failed http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-05#1666048), has recently been accused of... you'll guess this not ?
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-02#1933236 << like ye olde sovok exactly.
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/thelastpsychiatristcom-being-the-main-character-in-your-own-tv-show-is-sort-of-a-delusion-adnotated/ << Trilema -- thel....com - Being The Main Character In Your Own TV Show Is Sort Of A Delusion. Adnotated.
mp_en_viaje: speaking of meat btw : isn't it lulzy that all the butthurt coverage of sagawa (typical) somehow omits to mention that since the dude didn't kill anyone again, a) it's very dubious confinement would have helped anything and b) by implication, it's not clear it's such a helpful thing in all the other cases, either.
spyked: lulz. apparently "friends" is somewhat popular in ro nowadays, there's marathon reruns on tv and I see all these chicks with brand t-shirts on the street... well, I'm assuming they watch it
mp_en_viaje: the whole thing happens with no fucking guidance, eg if you were trying to "build a woman you'd like" you'd spend SOME time fiddling with the knobs, but you'd broadly know it has to have tits and they're to be big etc. when it comes to "aircraft" you have nfi, maybe it should look like a tv.
mp_en_viaje: rather than acting, ie, activity towards some representative end. like on daytime tv.
asciilifeform: 'satellites offer the comfort of redundancy... ...lockstream isn’t launching satellites itself; it rents a small portion of the bandwidth on commercial satellites, which are mainly used for TV. The data is beamed up with enough bandwidth to ensure the blockchain stays up to date.' << pretty sure we had thread re this 'here have some inca central palace under guise of 'redundancy'' nuttery
mp_en_viaje: unidirectional links make about as much sense as tv broadcasts ever can.
mircea_popescu: we're watching tv, in the sense i'm to sit here and nod my head while he does the voices and jumps up and down through the livingroom.
mp_en_viaje: so i turn on the tv, first channel is vox music, ace of base, "all that she wants"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> that and declining cable interest. << So Antel has a free tv streaming thing all of their customers can use. One of its few channels is NBA network
mp_en_viaje: i thought it's a little weird, /me throws a small bone, dog studiously pretends to not notice while tryna get all sorta typically needful "projects" off ground, like writing books and makign tv pilots.
mp_en_viaje: tv show. not really : blondy public woman, very dim, decides she wants car, asks how much, is told 40G's, starts cutting out the letter g from cereal boxes
mp_en_viaje: like a pair of shoes, which is WHAT THEY ARE. a job isn't who the fuck you are, a job is ~something you bought~. like a tv set or a couch.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-14 04:31 mp_en_viaje: spyked, shit, i didn't even realise tha tthing was supposed to be a tv.
mp_en_viaje: spyked, shit, i didn't even realise tha tthing was supposed to be a tv. ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: by which bullshit we're supposed to not notice that "the signifying monkey is approximately kermit for retards -- something some dude 'came up with' for ~tv in the 50s on the basis of what he remembered of the little he understood from what that german professor visiting his community college said.
mp_en_viaje: (gns is gns, a's can be domain names as they can be dictionary words. i can see the argument for "global warming" or w/e tv "celebrity" not resolving to anything.)
BingoBoingo: The local tv is playing Maduro on repeat today. "Que llegó la hora de combatir"
asciilifeform: i.e. not simply 'living time capsule.' i have nfi how they keep up the e.g. 'pnoje yes, tv nope' etc biz.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-10 17:45 PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-10#1907838 << you might not know if you avoid places they put ads (tv), but in their recent ads McD has been talking up their beef
asciilifeform: if 1 day they start broadcasting sumthing interesting, e.g. beheadings , i suppose i can run perl script on that sdr box and get 'tv' .
asciilifeform prolly to nobody's great surprise, dun have a tv , or at least not the usual kind with tuner
PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-10#1907838 << you might not know if you avoid places they put ads (tv), but in their recent ads McD has been talking up their beef ☝︎☟︎
diana_coman: the tv channels discovery sounds precisely like my early 90's discovery where naive-me thought at first that channel with only X meant they never repeated the stuff.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-02#1906576 << hey, turned tv on hre to see what's new (hreby patented http://trilema.com/2009/doua-curve/#selection-33.144-33.241 process) and was impressed on first pass, "whoa, check out da tedeschi, 1k+ channels hotel tv!!!" ☝︎
BingoBoingo: UK embassy here is roughly equal to a small clubhouse with pool and Satellite tv.
chonkin: Angela Merkel stood at a podium, with TV cameras pointed at her and said that "Multi-culturalism has failed." And she was not happy about this like a bigoted neo-nazi. She meant it as a portent. "We really wanted it to succeed , but after 40 years it is failling"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if it was anyffin like the ones here : survived by selling overpriced tv
asciilifeform: do orcs even know how to steal properly ? ( recall, sunday market, had among other things a carpet fulla... tv remotes. in ro i saw same, manned by gypsies. who the fuck steals these , and why ? who buys ? )
mircea_popescu: but yes, ceausescu coming up on live tv and explaining that "look, you dweebs : we tried to imperialism so and so, this is what we did and why we did it, this is what happened, now we're fucked. what do you wanna do now ? figure it the fuck out." would have worked well.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding ceausescu watched tv for his own interest, at least, which is a step above the nigglet.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it's the evening's entertainment for these folx. plug in the hoses, fire up the coals, turn on tv for background << The hookah/hose thing is a poor delivery device for pot. mircea_popescu's centerpiece that shoots deep into the lungs is the tool for pot. The hookah's more of a high margin impulse purchase trap that doesn't draw the shops aggro like most consumer US stuff is.
asciilifeform: it's the evening's entertainment for these folx. plug in the hoses, fire up the coals, turn on tv for background
mircea_popescu: whatever, tv, space rockets. it wasn't amateur electronicists in garage, that's for sure.
asciilifeform: pretty sure that most elcaps ever baked, went into tv. but can see the pt.
asciilifeform was in a public place where tv on the wall, and guess what was shown : mccain. apparently not dead enuff ( 'freshly uncrated' taped blather, near as i could tell. )
BingoBoingo: Nevermind the whorehouse around the corner has a couple different websites proposing different hours (franchise operation linked to online online/cable tv porn channel).
mircea_popescu: eh, the divergence between what they put in their reports to shareholders and what's going on irl is aptly summarized by that "which changed the TV program viewing modality" wooden tongue explosion.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol! even in ro, '3d tv' ?!
mircea_popescu: "In May 2011, UPC launched for the first time the 3D technology, which changed the TV program viewing modality."

asciilifeform: rom eu are carrying vacuum cleaners, tv sets, computers... country of deficits, like ye olde su' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ie, mostly tv stations perceived blogs as competition, but ~because they actually were~ competition, and winning, couldn't omit stealing their conent. and so the expression "found on the Internet" was invented to avoid saying "we suck, go read this-dood.com instead"
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/01/local-tv-personalities-cant-stop-making-us-national-news-for-saying-martin-luther-coon/ << Qntra -- Local TV Personalities Can't Stop Making US National News For Saying "Martin Luther Coon"
mircea_popescu: people got really excited about the whole tv txt mode or w/e that was called
asciilifeform: imho anyffin that falls short of this, re 'reality tv', is snoar.
asciilifeform: re 'reality show', in 1950s robert sheckley had little story re 'glorious fyootoor' where nomoar pantsuit laws, and so folx free to kill themselves creatively for money; and tv program is made where folx are knocked out and then wake up in race car, or midget sub, or jet fighter, whichever is farthest from their ordinary derp life, and filmed as they try an' avoid certain deaths
mircea_popescu: twitch.tv, there's a whole "platform" website predicated on someone caring / people being too lazy to actually play.
mircea_popescu: 2000s era made-for-tv layer of ever-collapsing production values.
mircea_popescu: it's like watching reality tv by & for retards, "oh, look, it's another morning, will john the retard manage to tie his shoes his time ? we will be back after a word from our sponsor, Watch Paint Dry While Flies Fuck (tm)"
mircea_popescu: it's a thing. when you're going "meh, ima use a dental kit" you're being one kinda lulzy. when you're going "a-ha, ima make xray out of old tv tube and camera sensor" you're being ANOTHER kind.

mircea_popescu: was pretty lulzy, typical-to-TV-altreality new york "contractor", "well... we'll have to put 8 men on it in three shifts... that's 54876983769287563984798634... and then..."
mircea_popescu: the internet-vs-tv battle rages on, 1993 is but a memory.
echelon: yeah, but most pirates just ripped from a tv tuner anyway, so i don't think it had much effect
mircea_popescu: the way of the web is "have people talk into the bag", tv minds tryna hard to re-create tv out of the information superhighway truck.
BingoBoingo: The day of the Lockheed versus Boeing/McDonnelDouglas trials in Saint Louis, those things dominated all 4 channels on tv all day. The Lockheed selection was only beat in local media sad by 9/11

mircea_popescu: meanwhile at mp compound, "martha stewart is the one with the conviction and the late night cable tv infomercials. hilary clinton in the one with the failed bids to everything" "you seriously expect me to distinguish these two ? how ?!"
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, for the midden diggers : that "club kids" crew actually invented the pantsuit. yes it's true hilary stwart wore it on tv before going to jail, so it became popular with her fat old white women crowd. but before she could wear it, someone had to make it -- and they did.
