moonpunter: i trained on us weapons and when i got to the real army i was attached to a mortar platoon, but i only ever dropped one mortar myself, which was pretty awesome
moonpunter: we had humvees and mraps, cavalry is pretty lazy shit comparitvely
moonpunter: i don't know about any artillery or most of the vehicles; i did maintain my humvee and i was the only truck in the platoon to never break down b/c i didn't mind annoying the mechanics

moonpunter: in fact on tuesday i had my final interview with the TDRL, they're moving me to permanent. oh well.
moonpunter: "have you been arrested more than 5 times since discharge" etc
moonpunter: i've been arrested more than 10 times since discharge
moonpunter: i actually have lost count, but three times last year by the same local dick.
kakobrekla: perhaps arrested means something else that i think it means.
moonpunter: it means going in the back of a car to jail
moonpunter: usually it means paying some money to get out
moonpunter: sometimes they let you out on your own recognition that you are a drunk asshole
moonpunter: the first time i pissed that cop off i was just telling off this lady that was rude to my wife. i live in a tourist town and we were downtown.
trinque: what part of the country, if I may ask?
kakobrekla: did you tell her with a gun or something?
moonpunter: my only felony was for telling someone to get off my driveway
moonpunter: if you're drunk you're wrong. that's why i've all but quit drinking for the most part.
moonpunter: i dunno. i've been a good boy since last year. got too many reasons now. new baby tomorrow morning. 8am delivery.
BingoBoingo: moonpunter: You see my alleged misdemeanor case is being strung out for years because drunk is not wrong. Also prosecutor and police suck at this whole trying misdemeanor cases business.
moonpunter: the justice system is retarded in general.
moonpunter: cops don't even know what laws they're enforcing, most of them act on emotion, professionalism lacking, institutional racism, extortionist tactics at the jail - $3.00 per minute for a phone call in 2014
trinque: I know in certain places in Texas it's rather easy to get arrested for looking the wrong way, or being drunk in the wrong place.
trinque: and admittedly as a white male, it doesn't apply to me much there.
trinque: dallas in particular is rough.
moonpunter: i've been through there dozens of times, right, on greyhound several, and everytime i've been to that greyhound station there's been an ambulance and a herd of cops. every time.
moonpunter: mostly i just stay home nowadays. graced with virtual office type work. now and then i think about getting one of these cheap office spaces in town, but i'm fine living in my slippers and gym shorts.
BingoBoingo: My personal standard for whether something should be a crime or not is Missouri's statewide ban on prosecution for merely being drunk in public. Missouri is more Texas than Texas in this regard.
moonpunter: here in Arkansas if you have money you're basically a protected class. my previous landlord is getting away with theft and extortion on a weekly basis. he fucked up when he harassed my wife via text, she's going to sue, the cops said that would be the best way to deal with it.
BingoBoingo: Well, in most rural places it isn't just the money. It's whether you're the sort who should have money or not.
moonpunter: i think the law should be blind to all existential things and apply to human action. if you harm another person in someway, violate their inalienable rights, that should be criminal, no matter who you are.
trinque: can't really talk in terms of rights without some theory on how they'd be enforced
trinque: I certainly *personally* agree that there are frivolous reasons to judge a person.
trinque: now, try enforcing that generally
trinque: looks a lot like this glorious land of freedom we've got
trinque: only recourse you have is to associate with sane individuals.
moonpunter: well this thing that just happened in ferguson, where the cops showed up with overwhelming force and the kid decided to shoot at them before he died. it's like at what point are you allowed to defend yourself if you are reasonably certain you're going to die.
☟︎ trinque: again, you're allowed what circumstances permit, and nothing more
mircea_popescu: more like "you're allowed to defend yourself on your own property and that's it".
mircea_popescu: simple enough to enforce. was the victim on the shooter's property ? fuck the victim, should buy more property next time.
mircea_popescu: i thought beating up burglar is traditional there too ?
moonpunter: thoreau wrote in depth about the value of the commons. i tend to defer to him. in mass. they say you have to call the cops before you can even think about defending yourself, even if the person is in your home.

kakobrekla: can give more details later, off for now.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the notion that the eu is any better than the us is lulzy.
trinque: yeah, I've heard of the squatting thing too
trinque: and um, nordic, something. I hear it's good.
moonpunter: i signed a contract with the landlord, he violated it in several ways and attempted to violate it in more. he was disappointed when he figured out i didn't need his apartment, and most definitely stole some of my property left there before the move-out date, then lied to police about it. we don't need anymore laws protecting landlords where i live.
mircea_popescu: and btw, the us gdp went up to 3 something while we were talking.
mircea_popescu: how exactly they figure this washes is anyone's guess by this point. what growth ? the us has been contracting since 1995

kakobrekla: it will take a bunch of time and layerpower to get out out.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla sounds like slovenia would do a lot better with more beatings.

kakobrekla: this is not limited to slovenia as far as i know.
trinque: dow starts to plummet, suddenly oh, gdp's not so bad
mircea_popescu: romanian tradition of beating the shit of the burglar before calling police was still strong last i saw.
mircea_popescu: historically, if you're too lousy to do it yourself the police hold him down and then check if you want to prosecute.
trinque: some states here have a requirement that you attempt retreat first
trinque: so you can get shot in the back
mircea_popescu: trinque the notion of not shooting an armed person is still very foreign to me. if you got a gun and i got a gun i AM killing you and then we can figure it out.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, as i went to texas, they were just having a celebration in the little town, mayor was giving an old woman some award
trinque: right, once weapons are involved, wtf are you supposed to do?
trinque: or hell, just because the person entered the house. that's a threat.
mircea_popescu: for she was in a diner and a guy tried to rob it, so the old woman got out a colt and blew the would-be robber's brain all over the wall
trinque: sure, I've been in the position of having my doors checked, and I waited it out
mircea_popescu agrees with idea asciilifeform's linked article, still thinks very little of scott locklin.
mircea_popescu: i don't remember what exact "bitcoin jesus" nonsense he had in his schedule, but i do recall i made the judgement the person can not possibly be intellectually respectable.
mircea_popescu: actually iirc HE wrote to me, and i told him to get fucked.
mircea_popescu: "This is much too far from an apology for your previous episode to count. Try again."
mircea_popescu: you'd think this sort of thing would be obvious to adult males.
mircea_popescu: or what, you meant "they go away into a merry-merrry land where they lhea" ?
mircea_popescu: but, that aside. the logical next step, after learning arithmetics, from a "i'd rather not be robbed blind by everyone i meet" is learning statistics.
mircea_popescu: and this very specifically means learning to avoid the numerous "learn statistics nao!" scamtraps, from bayesian bullshit to what have you.

PeterL: "If I follow these steps, the girls will want to date me" sort of thinking?

trinque: I've heard lots of moaning about "make the world the way I want" from women
mircea_popescu: think about it for a second. in any game, the "rational" player is the defeated player. rational in this context merely means "that which has been intellectually dominated by the other side".
trinque: hm, why is rationality on the side of the defeated?
mircea_popescu: (and yes this is also why the state urges the individual to "be rational". oooofcourseitwould. the only rational thing to do is to preserve the 5th amendment, which is to say : i reserve the right to unilaterally shoot any and all policemen on my say so. because that's what fucking independence is.)
mircea_popescu: trinque well think about it. what does "rational" mean ? that YOU can understand it, right ?
mircea_popescu: if the soviets think the germans are being rational and are right, the soviets win. if vice-versa, vice-versa.
trinque: yes, something like I have a model of reality (even if incomplete) and act coherently within that model?

mircea_popescu: <trinque> lets bolt networking to the sound stack because that'll look sweet on my resume << quite.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, guy didn't come out of nowhere. he was prepping for it longer than it'd have take to do 5 bootcamps.
punkman: audio server has some uses but not for civilian
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> wow who thought we'd see the day where Apple is pro-privacy and Google takes the opposite side << google just wants their "privacy".

trinque: punkman: given existing computing systems, I'd rather run a wire than use pulseaudio's streaming
trinque: lol, somebody bought me "moon shoes" when I was a kid
trinque: I love the way the german language sounds.
trinque: was trying to learn; the myriad articles still kick my puny english ass
trinque: though their specificity, I'm sure very useful
trinque: "this particular one of the set" which is what, dieser?
mircea_popescu: you should see fucking romanian or russian if german is myriad
trinque: that stood out as glaringly absent in english
trinque: oh, I admitted my english puniness
mircea_popescu: but just because english makes a mess of vocative case / demonstrative pronoun / possesives etc doesn't mean much.
mircea_popescu: (demonstrative is what got boiled down into this/that/these/those)
mircea_popescu: most languages also have a posessive, which in english is conflated in his/hers/theirs.
mircea_popescu: like in romanian you can ask "ale cui is pizdele astea ?" (whose are these cunts ?) and the anser come "ale aceluia" (that guy's) or ale aceleia (that gal's) etc.
mircea_popescu: so you have the seemingly confounding a/al/ai/ale + acesta/acela aceasta/aceea acestia/aceia acestea/acelea. for a grand total of omfg it's romanian - the gathering!
trinque: yeah, I can begin to see how a particular language can limit the specificity of expression
mircea_popescu: (these three males) + (belonging to that guy) = ai aceluia ; (this single female) + (belonging to that group of females) = a acelora.
trinque: will have to dedicate some later part of life to improving my grasp of other languages.
mircea_popescu: pretty much all structure of language at the outset of possibility is in there. once you learn it it's just "fill the colors" for any other.
mircea_popescu: which is why it used to be mandatory for learned gentlemen.
mircea_popescu: classic education in russian puts one at no disadvantage.
ascii_field: (it is not given to any one language to have all the jumpers set)
mircea_popescu: incidentally the little card trading game illustrated above is the romanian #1 class distinguisher.
mircea_popescu: "are you a pleb or did your parents have enough spare food in your childhood to have the time to teach you the fucking cases"
mircea_popescu: and yes, about half the population doesn't get them right on the first try.
trinque: I've suspected due to the way russian speakers speak english, "a" and "the" might be absent or expressed differently
mircea_popescu: it declines and you're supposed to guess from declension
trinque: IRC seems to have influenced me to drop certain subjects, certain articles
mod6: ascii_field: 195.211.154.159 << looks down
trinque: at least while on IRC, not elsewhere
mod6: hm i dunno, maybe it'll come back
mircea_popescu: but the main problem english faces is that it fails to make the complemet distinctions. in romanian : la baieti (to the boys) ; baietilor (to the boys). first tells you where, the 2nd whom.
ascii_field: aha you can't 'homo homini lupus est' (tm) in english
mod6: level3 has some weird shit going on
mircea_popescu: ascii_field no you can, check it out : man is the wolf of men / man is wolf to men.
mircea_popescu: english, as spoken by the fucking queen, before they got the current crop of hamburg tavern wenches, was in point of fact an actual language.
trinque: is that "homini" like "upon other men"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: that's an explanation, i dare say, not a translation
mircea_popescu: ascii_field much like the british empire was a pretension, not a reality.
trinque: right, takes much more verbosity to convey similar, but not the same meaning
mircea_popescu: it is perhaps not an idle topic of inquiry to find how much of the rotten-ness of extant software stack mostly comes from the unfortunate happenstance that it was written by people who spoke english with their women.
trinque: seems like exactly the same dump-truck full of partially digested concepts in both cases
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2015 18:23:48; BingoBoingo: And that should be it for nao
trinque recalls the "visual programming" project, sees it now as an autoimmune reaction to english and various not-lisps
cazalla: perhaps, but i suspect BingoBoingo had a few drinks much like myself last night
BingoBoingo: cazalla: We share a business. It's survived nearly a year. Also the particular numbers next to ratings don't exactly mean much.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I did the WoT clean up just a little bit ago
BingoBoingo: Sober, my weekend doesn't start for a few more hours
mircea_popescu: "how representative of this person i consider my experience with them"
mircea_popescu: and yes this discussion of structure does merely belie much deeper divergence in the actual usage, which i suspect is driven by fundamental divergence in phylosophy.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, yeah i understand the numbers thing only has value to you, so i am sure you will not be offended that i don't rate higher than a 4-5 for anyone i've yet to share a meal with.
mircea_popescu: for instance, in english : "they found the body" (ie, corpse) ; "smoking is bad for the body" (ie, mechanism) ; this is the body of christ.
mircea_popescu: in romanian : au gasit ~corpul~ [neinsufletit] ; fumatul face rau ~organismului~ ; acesta este ~trupul~ lui hristos.
BingoBoingo: More than anything I use the numbers as a rough combination of interactions and "bus factor"
mircea_popescu: three fucking words. because one's the mechanical body, and the other the biologic body, and the third the metaphysical body.
mircea_popescu: whereas the idea of body as in "body politic" is all but dead in english, today.
trinque: hm, yeah. I have trouble with that one.
trinque: might've used "soul" there in the past
mircea_popescu: trinque can you explain the difference between cosmos and universe ?
trinque: causes me to think, but I'll first suppose that the former includes the multitude of things within, and the latter refers to the structure within which those things exist
trinque: but I'm by no means happy with those definitions
mircea_popescu: but can you explain the difference between graph and set ?
mircea_popescu: it is perhaps antiquated by now. but it's what rubens' good looking women were.
trinque: well, a set would be a rigorously defined category of things sharing properties

trinque: a graph is a web of relationships
trinque: I don't know that the relationships need be between things which would be considered to be in the same set
mircea_popescu: trinque quite exactly : a cosmos is the graph of perceptibles. a universe is the set of perceptibles.
mircea_popescu: and as you might realise, cosmos-focused cultures write fundamentally differfent software from universe-focused culturesa
mircea_popescu: the latter are preoccupied chiefly with entrance barriers, and are debating, predictably, if building a wall across colorado is worth the hassle.
trinque: is this sort of phenomenological thinking vs thinking in terms of theory and structure?
mircea_popescu: as if you know. but hey, the sets are rheaaallly very important to them i tell you.

mircea_popescu: (and the difference is quite understood by native english speakers, at that. consider how "universal karma" sounds vs "cosmic karma". which evokes govt bureaucracy and why ?)
trinque: mircea_popescu: hell, my old boss before I struck back out on my own used "cosmic" constantly
mod6: ascii_field: ok np, seems to be happy again
mircea_popescu: trinque in any case "phenomenological thinking" is a void concept. thinking is not described by the subject it's applied to. you said something roughly like "lighting electrictiy". sure, it can be used to bring light.
trinque: forgets about sessions after a bit, I guess
trinque: mircea_popescu: makes sense. collecting sea shells on a stroll is not thinking
mircea_popescu: not the point. the point is that "phenomenology" is directly equivalent with "which discusses things that happen"
trinque: point is that one may think about phenomena, and not with?
mircea_popescu: you can contrast it with ontology, or gnoseology for that matter. and obviously you can build other quite clever sturctures. but yours didn't mean anything is all.
trinque: rather, I suppose I am thinking with phenomena
trinque: that the zaps in synapses are phenomena
mircea_popescu: well they are, if you're looking at it. to the neurologist or w/e.

mircea_popescu: "Furthermore, when the nobility went to war, they would employ foreign mercenaries as auxiliary troops." << this, in partiucular, is rank nonsense.
mircea_popescu: mercenary troops wehre the late medieval/renaissance equivalent of art collecting.
mircea_popescu: (much like the reformed us military is about as useless as sugared sardines)
trinque: there's no particular oppression of the whites going on except as a subset of the kind of oppression the socialist state commits generally
trinque: if they pit one group against another, great. serves it well
trinque: and I'm skeptical there are even "groups" to speak of

ascii_field: 'life supervision' << is this the first sentence of its kind ?
cazalla: i would hazard a guess that the lifetime supervision is about minimising the chances this kid can enact his own justice once he reaches an age where he realises what a dud deal this was for him (around the time he gets out i would guess)
mircea_popescu: cazalla pretty fucking stupid deal, yeah. who the fuck advises these people.
mircea_popescu: anyway, let it be said that joining isis is both morally sounder and economically wiser a choice than applying to any us college.
cazalla: amusing that 20 years on, George no longer looks like typical fat American
