BingoBoingo: Remember when copypaste though he owned 8chan? That's the sort of misunderstanding that seems to preclude doing business with 2ch.

punkman: "To whom it may concern: The previous management was not able to generate enough income to pay the bills for the expenses of running 2ch. Previously I allowed some autonomy to them. During that time my name has been slandered. The ability for 2ch to generate enough income to stay open was damaged. I hope that with proper management that 2ch can recover."

mod6: to be ignored by the future minstrels
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> we laugh at gavin but he's prolly set for life.. << just as you predicted ?
mircea_popescu: apparently you predicted something or the other about the oregon folks. bout the same strength of prediction as your groundless if insistend belief gavin has it well. which, for the lulz, is exactly homologuous with your prior "prediction"/firm belief that leah goodman was floating in it, which did get debunked publicly but for that reason doesn't need further mention ; or for that matter something about jews
mircea_popescu: you got this special drawer of a certain kind of kimchi.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, you know who else was "set for lyf" ? that objectionable "open source" shithead.
assbot: Here's what they don't tell you when they bring you those papers to sign on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

mircea_popescu: just like any teenaged slut in argentina that i stick my cock into for the time being ?
mircea_popescu: to explain : on one hand the slave is put in circumstances (be it clothing, or accoutrements, or whatnot) that make it the focus of attention, necessarily. you can't do most of those things permanently, as a thing. to understand why, imagine you'd make a silo full of puppies. how long before it is a silo full of rotting meat ?
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, on the other hand the theoretical structure of the relationship is exactly opposite to this reality.
mircea_popescu: sure, but that's a consideration on a different timescale.
mircea_popescu: what do you mean how. yes all puppies eventually die, but that's not what we're talking about.
mircea_popescu: you have a maximal puppy density that allows the biomass in question to stay puppy-shaped
ben_vulpes would appreciate slightly less heavyweight metaphors too
mircea_popescu: well no, it's unrelated. hence the "infinitely more interesting news"
mircea_popescu: anyway. maximal density is the killer. yes, obedient slave takes whipping. there's a maximal % of her time she can spend being whipped.
mircea_popescu: "In a rare bid for sanity, the Harford County School District had cancelled all field trips for students into Baltimore, as it is clearly an unsafe environment. The mulattress mayor [the same whore who let the city burn and then requested that 1,000 Somali refugees be settled in Baltimore] was outraged. Phone calls were made, and the school authorities waffled, and will now be sending their children into harm's way, wh
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't believe in externalities. so, no.
mircea_popescu: the idea is! that the picture there linked is trying to mesh two unmeshable things. notice the dude is all like "business as usual, whatever". whereas in fact, it's nothing but!
mircea_popescu: ah ah. but i was discussing recreational whipping not educational whipping.
mircea_popescu: but the idea is see, he's hanging out, the mistress sleeping (as if any woman sleeps in garter belt and high heels) and the slave doing doing houseworkl
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the cramped environment : yes, woman can be made to do either. but it wouldn't be fucking sleep or fucking work. it'd be THIS. and this is not life, this is THIS.
mircea_popescu: it is very mujch a boschian thing, specifically because of this tension.
mircea_popescu: it has the unmistakable immaturity of virginal youth, unaware that pegs are round, holes are square.
mircea_popescu: you know, people who never kept slavegirls could conceivably dream up this alt-reality where slave girls go like this.
mircea_popescu: i suppose if we must have an aesop, someone who wasn';t ever gavin might imagine things about how being gavin is.
mircea_popescu: ~exactly~ this. and very much don't want to think otherwise, either.
mircea_popescu: if shown a cheesecake picture, they DO in fact imagine that the woman looks like that from dawn to dusk, while shitting, etc.
mircea_popescu: not what i meant. depends on what variant one entertains etc, but there is such a thing where the slave's the slave throughout the day, do what she may.
mircea_popescu: yeah i dunno why you'd be walking with weighs, big calves aren't particularly in demand.
mircea_popescu: well... i guess. more akin to "boy sees no use for veggies, they're getting in the way of cake"
mircea_popescu: i suspect every youthful generation's conviction the previous people are dumb and generally suck has a lot to do with this.
jurov: when i was a kid i have imagined adults fulfill their desires in some secret magical way, so that they don't eat cake all the time
mircea_popescu: no but seriously... spend some time doing SOMETHING OTHER than what you're doing ? dude, if i thought this is a good idea... i would just stop doing what i;m doing. that day. forever. wtf.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know the monty python "there are two kinds of people" sketch ?
jurov: everyone has a choice. but choices have consequences, at least for mere mortals.
mircea_popescu: choices have consequences for everyone. the "mere mortals" care about consequences.
jurov: for example i'm recently considering to close coinbr, it would simplify my life considerably as it tends to desync from mpex at the worst possible times
mircea_popescu: i am, and for years have been, destroying the usg through everett's device.
jurov: or should i say fuck it?
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 16:26:09; mircea_popescu: no one can tell a man what his fucking life looks like!

jurov: but i can definitely tell myself that hacking trb and eulora client by deep immersion for days would be better life than this.
jurov: maybe someday when i learn to live off air.
mircea_popescu: in other "life sucks" news, i've been trying to buy a red lacquered fine leather ball gag for the past fucking week. this country thinks itself a masterful leather manufacturer, NOBODY has it.
mircea_popescu: everybody has the same cheapo chinese 50cent crap they're trying to sell for 20 bux.
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 22:03:10; mircea_popescu: in other news : mp decides new heels and dress would go very well with a shiny-red lacquered leather ball gag. proceeds to inquire with a dozen or so sex shops in the farming town. they ALL have the same exact item.
jurov: i'm not actually into who-has-it-worse contests
jurov: if i found out nobody cares about my work, could not resist throwing in something spiteful
☟︎ mircea_popescu: most of civilisation is built on trusted work by various people. who do you think reads most doctors' reports ?
mircea_popescu: actuaries could sink any firm, and nobody'd notice until after they did it - seen this one play out time and again on ws ever since the gaus copula bs\
BingoBoingo: Depends where you are how many doctors notes get read by lawyers
mircea_popescu: for the record, the us is an example of nothing and a measuring stick for nothing,
mircea_popescu: ghana is more relevant to any discussion than the united states.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, one of the few and far between actual cultures in africa.
mircea_popescu: (ftr, the camel is not native to africa. was introduced, with an effect similar to the introduction of metalworking in europe)
mircea_popescu: a dream, no matter how shared, is not a thing, nor could be a thing, and so does not matter to any actual thing.
mircea_popescu: think bronco busting, and then think camel is roughly 2x the size.
mircea_popescu: much more than horse. for one thing, horse loves people.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the third person in the monty python sketch was whistler. "I shall be born when and where I want, and I do not choose to be born in Lowell." whistler.
BingoBoingo: Last American president Jefferson Davis signed of on the import of camels when he was just a Senator
gernika: Interesting. Looks like camels originally evolved in North America.

BingoBoingo: Well, prehistoric camels had some role, but creation does not have a block chain so until all bones are dug and cataloged there is an element of mystery here
gernika: I suppose DNA is not a blockchain? Proof of sex?
BingoBoingo: Random noise gets introduced, DNA does error correction poorly
BingoBoingo: I'm just disappointed giant ground sloths did not make it to the present
BingoBoingo: At one point there were the avacado's only natural predator
