http://archive.is/IGurI <<< so my
TV is a samsung, I am assuming it isn't long until it blows up and takes me with it. I hereby bequeath my Eulora loot to mircea_popescu
trinque: hell he does reality
tv iirc
mircea_popescu: what do you mean how so ? like
tv killed the radio star, they were there and jewing the place up then the jews came along and stole it from them.
mircea_popescu: it's fucking incredible just how bad trump's speech writer was, by the way. dude's a reality
tv star, like that jenner chick or whatever, you'd expect he'd come prepared to kill it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, cnn trading places with al-jazeera to report supportively about wedding ceremonies "accidentally" bombed in santa barbara by a "stray" russian rocket would be something i'd even turn a
tv set on for.
mircea_popescu: ality
tv in the world will be able to invite two kids who are brother, sister, and cousins. to tell the world all about their failed relationship / lovechild, of course.
trinque: "I will put her in prison" could only be trumped by "I will flog her on national
TV"
mircea_popescu: that's THE thing neh ? "oh fascinating, oprah also has a
tv show"
BingoBoingo: Lettuce not forget the late stage of the game when Al Sharpton got a "news"
tv show
BingoBoingo: es and (just wait) the creation of Trump
TV. But we cannot and should not forget: A couple days ago it was still fathomable that America could have voted into office the biggest threat to the country in decades." << An urban practitioner of pete's religion who enjoys marijuana
mircea_popescu: til. check out what the made-for-
tv jew stereotype is named! BEN STEIN!
catvorg_cultist: alf is that american
tv show about an alien who eats cats.
trinque: it's like living on a cheap
TV set. my neighbor's door - when kicked in two weeks ago - broke like balsa wood right along the only (soft) metal in the door, at the "lock"/"latch"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in other lulz, i reviewed over coffee the TWELVE PAGE ad some local
tv beauty / whore took out for herself.
thestringpuller: cuz really a monthly series should be like an episode of
tv thestringpuller: but who am i to judge "boring" the countless hours watching
tv to kill time while waitng to get in an FFXI party to play for like maybe 30 minutes of combat
mircea_popescu: ("would you trust surgeon x to cut out your appendix ?" "it depends. would he be watching
tv while doing it ?")
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 22:32 asciilifeform: 'The situation is somewhat akin to a retarded girlfriend trying to flood your apartment, that not only opens all the faucets and stops all the drains, but also takes the "extremely clever" measure of puncturing the water pipes, so she can then preciously inform you that "turning off the faucets won't help" and you must work with her to somehow create a raft out of your widescreen
TV so as to navigate the marshy terrain that used to b
mircea_popescu: you know, contrary to the
tv version of blinkenlichten, in cockpit design, and ESPECIALLY for combat or any sort of emergency situation, more items are regarded as a serious liability.
mircea_popescu: "what kind of house can i build if you and your wife aren't seated on a couch watching
tv as we build the walls around you!!!1"
mircea_popescu: it is ; but this isn't the problem. the problem is that he's proceeded in the "Scientific American" manner of contemporary MIT engineering. he created a "hockey stick pattern" out of putting some data through a process that always yields a hockey stick pattern ; data that he's obtained from extrapolating a tiny dataset of dubious relevancy (ie, last week's
tv guide contents).
mircea_popescu: turns out it wasn't the
tv making people stupid - people were stupid to begin with,
tv fit like a glove. with its demise - the cowsies moo for a replacement. so they watch others play games.
jurov: undergrads are content with reflashing
tv dongle and listening to cops
BingoBoingo: The math is simple Action Movie > Reality
TV mircea_popescu: be wary of consensi generally, for it rarely is more than a device in late night
tv commercials.
mircea_popescu: fucking hillary clinton, all of them. "very important" and a big deal and "informed" and bla bla for the five fucking minutes the show's on. just like any stripper cum
tv anchor / us "corporation" etcetera.
mircea_popescu: laughing, flying through the air - it's a can of soda. Have you ever been standing there and you're watching
TV and you're drinking the exact same product that they're advertising right there on
TV, and it's like, you know, they're spiking volleyballs, jetskiing, girls in bikinis and I'm standing there - "Maybe I'm putting too much ice in mine."
mircea_popescu: The bad thing about television is that everybody you see on television is doing something better than what you're doing. Did you ever see anybody on
TV like just sliding off the front of the sofa with potato chip crumbs on their face? Some people have a little too much fun on television: the soda commercial people - where do they summon this enthusiasm? Have you seen them? "We have soda, we have soda, we have soda", jumping,
mircea_popescu: ftr, there's a
tv franchise called "sit down, shut up". it never caught on.
mircea_popescu: but all this aside, the "reality
tv" put a half dozen 20yos in a house and film the drama bs made a billion easy.
mircea_popescu: then it got mainstreamized into "reality
tv" or someshit, a whole franchise.
mircea_popescu: tho it starts and ends with credits, so im guessing prolly stolen from some polish
tv ?
mircea_popescu: oh and speaking of
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-18#1504500 : so i was scammed into watching A
TV SHOW. not substantially different from "pride and prejudice"/random televisa production. lotta spurious "interpersonal relations" shots without much logic interspersed with meaningless "warfare" shots without much logic.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: whreas the fucking internet is not made to be a cable
tv substitute omfg. website should mean that the user can do a bunch of shit, according to what he may need, some of which not necessarily foreseen by author.
mircea_popescu: trinque incidentally, i suspect the entire website model is dumb as presented. currently, under pressure from ustards/business majors/other unwelcome masses, a website is a collection of webpages that is very similar to how a
tv show is a collection of
tv frames. MAYBE they'll let the user have a tivo, but that's at the most.
phf: i feel like that's more of a su thing, 90s in russia were handheld camera times, so it was more likely someone will start own
tv station or try and get a spot on a fringe one like 2x2
mircea_popescu: which is why in highschool interest
tv dramas, the 2nd choice never gets laid. it's either the main or the dark horse.
mircea_popescu: what's your idea of watch ? i don't think i sat through a whole
tv show at any point in my lyf.
BingoBoingo: Anyways modern combine follows any path you plot into its gps. Once its set you just sit in chair, watch
tv, and nap
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber smugglers have bazooka ever since rambo was on thirld world
tv.
mircea_popescu: guy is ~a bankrupt
tv star, "all his money" stuff is bs. he's poor as a church mouse, all his capital is imagologic.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i'm pretty much convinced by now that what the ro crowds actually meant in 1989 by "wanting western democracy" was "we want italian
tv"
mircea_popescu: well, they're sorta like the girls watching
tv hoping to one day grow up into oprah through the mediation of being rap video sluts. except they're boys, and they read reddit, and hope to one day "make a company that sells for billions".
mircea_popescu: speaking of side effects : this morn i woke up, executed a bottle of champagne with homemade apple pie and scantily clad damsels to the backing of 70s/80s italian made-for-
tv comedies (atti impuri, anyone ever seen ? THAT is how you make shit for the
tv!).
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski if you own rather than rent, buying a large unit is a good home improvement move. for one thing, all electronics benefit from power filtering etc,
tv sets, whatever has chips in it. for another thing, redundant power is great and brownouts a thing everywhere. not the worst 5-10k you ever spent, can just sit in the basement and make your day for a week each decade or w/e.
mircea_popescu: why would i want to read a
tv show script, good lord. even the people paid to do it don't.
spandrell: there might be a version of the
tv show with english subtitles
shinohai: Not a single camwhore in site. At least I can waste money with sluts on xotika.
tv a111: Logged on 2016-05-25 20:44 mircea_popescu: listen, romanian
tv exists ~ for a single reason : so a group of like minded twentysomething chicks can advertise they're available. goes ~500 bucks unless you're very weird.

mircea_popescu: these dudes/dudettes figuring "they should change the world" or w/e the fuck they're figuring, i have no idea. average joe on a mission of ruining his own life because too much
tv.
mircea_popescu: though credit where credit's due, the italian
tv invented the method.
vc: what like any female on
TV?
mircea_popescu: you see that she is on
tv, and know what that means, pretty much.
vc: so how do these chicks advertise themselves? from
TV shows, or adverts?
mircea_popescu: listen, romanian

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: he read unspecified "central texts" and references some william buckley. who the fuck is william buckley ? turns out, a
tv show host.
mircea_popescu: of course as far as the crap on
tv went, "la cererea publicului [tele]spectator"
