hanbot: lol inferring the meaning of
terms via one's
own, forced context --the natural consequence of growing up
on inferring meaning from the text's context!
mp_en_viaje: if the world came to its senses, if i engaged tards
on their
own terms, if parents lived their lives such that they're comprehensible to children, if china correctly saw the incredible importance of ustarded delusions... then maybe they could write about it. but as it is ?!
mircea_popescu: if you spend your time engaging their idiocy
on its
own terms you'll just be sadder than you need to be.
Mocky: in
terms of actual traders, the guy actually trading
on localbitcoins pulled his ad. So I posted my
own ad up. It's been up for some time now, more than a week i think. no locals contacted me yet
mircea_popescu: vying for male attention "
on her
own terms", which happen to be so counter-productive she's more pitiful than an old dog sleeping
on a fresh grave.
mircea_popescu: cuz whatever, everyone's speshul and lives life
on own terms and whatever geeky bs.
mircea_popescu: "i would like money from the internetz
on my
own terms kthx"
mircea_popescu: hump of bell curve may not come
on own terms. or even have
terms.
mircea_popescu: there's no difference i can observe between indiancandy scratching at the door and satoshi scratching at the door. there's a way to get in -- getting in "
on their
own terms" is not
on the table at all.
mircea_popescu: "That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror
on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our
own volition and our
own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical
terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the superior can not be discredited from engaging the inferior
on his
own terms ; because THE ONLY POINT of superiority is that the superior gets to choose whether to superior or inferior, whereas the inferior gets no such choice, but must inferior.
mircea_popescu: (it is also in the end the mother-father distinction ; mother permits at least some interaction
on the infant's
own terms.)
mircea_popescu: it is one thing to not permit the infantile to interact with you ~
on their
own terms~. this, i wholeheartedly support. it is quite another thing however to not permit the ifnantile to interact with you at all. this is insupportable.

on 2017-01-09 15:06 mircea_popescu: and before anyone asks : the advantage of this is that this solution scales. ACTUALLY scales. specifically, if at any point in his
own time and for any reason in ~his
own domain~ taleb wants to get more control, he can. he actually can. you explain to him, when he asks, HOW to be more in control of his mp-wp install. in
terms of configuring the php script, or in
terms of configuring the apache server, or in
terms of configuri
Framedragger: diana_coman: i see what you mean. at the end of the day if one cannot carve out existence
on their
own terms, they are doomed either way - this much i agree with. (also, i didn't really have a fleshed out point, thanks for clarifying things for me)

on 2017-01-08 02:07 phf: i still have an issue of global namespace for vpatches. i'm not yet sure that they need namespacing. it's sort of inconsequential for when you do your
own press, but in
terms of permanent urls you have the first come first served problem..
mircea_popescu: pretty much everyone who doesn't lisp still harbords some sort of hope he'll you know, contribute to republic
ON HIS
OWN TERMS. hence pete_dushenski 's log-line ref bombings, because hey, maybe he's a little me or something.
mircea_popescu: it's a fascinating thing that you don't give up
on housing
on this (gabriel laddel does - and you don't realise he is for the reason better than you
ON YOUR
OWN TERMS) but do give up
on computer hosting for this.
adlai: out of curiosity, where would you recommend going, once i accumulate the means to do so
on my
own terms? you don't seem too pleased with your homeland or your current abode
Framedragger: false belief in existence of optionality of how to approach things "
on my
own terms", i guess you could say?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's really very little optionality involved. everyone has to approach everything
on their
own terms ~because that's all they have~. only god and anthropologists can approach things
on THEIR
own terms.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the story of poor covertress is something else. so the woman comes here to you know, interact with the republic
on her
own terms. because she's a woman and a person ("an officer and a gentleman"!) and therefore may even have her
own terms. everyone may! what's this, rape ?
mircea_popescu: and you wish to do the same.
on your
own terms, sure, but the point is - the same.

on 2016-05-09 23:20 mircea_popescu: because he purports to misrepresent reality, and worst of all - the reality of his
own fucking experience - in castrato
terms. o really, "elitism is bad" ? fuck you. if you believe that, how come you're here ?
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Purged. Credible reports suggest Twitter is going to do a bigger purge soon, so some loveable jokesters are working to get preeptively purged
on their
own terms.
mircea_popescu: to try and formalize this, imagine the question in
terms of wallpaper. now you, being a sane individual, would never have wallpaper in the house. but, admitting for the sake of argument that you
own a slavegirl together enough to be allowed to run her
own household, and admitting she inexplicably wants some wallpaper, the difference between "whatever" and "you can't have that" mostly rests
on whether the 900 dpi thing
mircea_popescu: so,
on its
own terms, in its
own time, it just sinks further into this shitpit.
mircea_popescu: "This makes anons perfect cover for harassers. Not being willing to accept bad faith arguments
on their
own terms and debate them as if they merited a response is seen as proof of the weakness of your arguments." except all bad arguments can be reduced by reference and demolished in their
own terms. an INABILITY to do so speaks to the poor intellectual capacity of the unable, and it is in fact prima facie evidence that
mircea_popescu: you are promised at birth a life
on your
own terms, or to the breaking of your bones, whichever comes first.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it allows you to update it. the idea that others would accept your update
on your
own terms and for free is bizarre and i guess unwarranted. going forward i imagine moist everything will be financed through fees
on key updates. such as say assbot.
mircea_popescu: it's funny what impotence does to people. they'd like to be part of bitcoin, EXCEPT not
on bitcoin
terms. they wanna do it
on their
own terms. originally they hoped that derping
on social media might do it,

on 25-06-2015 01:46:57; mircea_popescu: anyway. people who actually magic away problems, in any field, name their
own terms.
mircea_popescu: so many people trying to matter in bitcoin "
on their
own terms" producing so much junk that's - to them, no doubt - meaningful and important that's not worth reading
mircea_popescu: if you allow them to respect you
on their
own terms you end up buying into their stupidity sooner or later.
mircea_popescu: well, kinda poisoned. you don't generally want the respect of ignorant people
on their
own terms, but
on yours.
mircea_popescu: so : yeah, usg&friends thinks it's engaging me
on its
own terms.
mircea_popescu: "I started the record label because I wasn’t happy with any of the offers i got from other record labels. It’s a way I can release my
own stuff
on my
own terms. After the first couple releases people started getting interested in the label. I’ve even started working out deals with some artists. I recently released a few tracks with Lonnie Dangerous and Collective Conscious Records is getting ready to release an a
mircea_popescu: it's just proof that people are endlessly stupid
on their
own terms.
mircea_popescu: colonialism is about coopting the locals
on its
own terms only.
mircea_popescu: Bids that are contingent

on own head and lighting it. twice.

on its
own terms (cries). mother doesn't go for it. kid... INSISTS!!! because totally, if you ignore everything and just repeat your thing... well.. that's happiness innit.
mircea_popescu: "the market" doesn't decide jack shit. if "the market" decides things, we might as well make coinbase the new fed and welcome wall street
on their
own terms.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: for some time he has said we're all trolls yet here he is again pitching us, makes me think he's a scammer afterall << prolly just the weird sort that tries to do it
on his
own terms but isn't either bright or great enough to manage it. so he ends this sort of ... i suppose the word is incel.
mircea_popescu: in general, whenever one wants to deal with the world
on one's
own terms, one's required to take aditional training, and ALSO be talented.
ninjashogun: "mathematic reality is accessible to everyone
on their
own terms"
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun basically everyone's point is that regardless how you personally look at it, mathematic reality is accessible to everyone
on their
own terms.
decimation: Do you have an alternative in mind? The only thing that occurs to me is rugged investors and businesses creating gpg contracts
