sina: tax lodged, off to get some dumplings and help a friend move stuff
sina: have a good day/evening tmsr
mircea_popescu: i dont think those folks read anything online. including their own barf. since 2004 or so
shinohai: jeez I was lacking in lulzworthy submissions this month BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: Perhaps month was boring on news front? QNtra is not in fake news business
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, girlz got a gym membership ; and since it was included they set up nutritionist meeting. why the hell not, right ?
mircea_popescu: "yes it was today but we didn't go" "well we went, but it was like in and out" "yeah"
mircea_popescu: "nothing happened, the woman was pushing 300 lbs." "i'm not taking any nutritionism advice from THAT."
mircea_popescu: hey, teh value of a trader is directly proportional to how many dumbass shit they posted on reddit. totally.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger anyway, appreciate the wisdom of having all that idiotic bubbling consumer behaviour at the outskirts of bitcoin, and the unmitigated power and awesome finesse of actually implementing the wisdom.
mircea_popescu: thanlks god for the magical alien lizard nazis of bitcoin!
mircea_popescu: the crazy batshit they have to argue. "oh, ethereum is rapemeat but totally worth the money also ethereum never happened also ethereum has nothing to do with the enthusiams, also black chix code, also that doesn't matter, also"
mircea_popescu: turns out, when you attempt to taiwanize your master, your master instead taiwanizes you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, back in the day i used to specifically buy "trained whore", "will run back". they... never did.
mircea_popescu: nothing easier than to overestimate the strength of a length of chain. kinda what compsec turns out to be all about all the time also.
mircea_popescu: in practice, there's no such thing as a disloyal woman. just women who've not yet met anyone worth bothering with in the sea of schmucks.
mircea_popescu: granted, ips are slightly different. but not THAT different.
mircea_popescu: ~because there's still agreement that that'll cost too much.
mircea_popescu: wringing it away is worth it in and of itself, that's how you destroy the crown.
mircea_popescu: keep facing it with the easy money now dilemma. they ALWAYS make the same choice, which simplifies the management of their rape significantly.
mircea_popescu: all this bakes in the momentary happenstance that the chinese've not yet run out of things to do. once that happens... "cost is no object" as they say. so there's an absolute cap on it anyway.
mircea_popescu: the way net works in china, there's no owner for a bunch of blocks, practically.
mircea_popescu: the whole "private net" a campus is prolly the way of the future. "this is the US 4.4.4.4. argentina got a diff one"
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- state dun just go away because we fucked their dumbass ipv6. they'll just you know, same shit, different node.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cuz stiff and shambling. but expect the shitty isps to start "experimenting" with it
mircea_popescu: by now, it's the govt that keeps alive both isp and otakus using them.
mircea_popescu: if today people started dropping cable subscription en masse, the last mile isps would petition congress and it'd become illegal to do, like electricity.
mircea_popescu: that's because there's no inflation, happens naturally.
mircea_popescu: you drastically overestimate the ability of the enemy, and this appears to you as slowness. think : all they could do, ALL they could do to anoint the obama dork was ows.
mircea_popescu: did that look to you like it's capable of boiling frogs any faster ?
mircea_popescu: and it also degrades, pantsuit hilarity got no ows of her own.
mircea_popescu: all she got was a buncha black hos giving her a lap dance, once.
mircea_popescu: that's basically bottle service, can have any day of the week
mircea_popescu: and speaking of this, it's not JUST ows. the "gamergate" bs is also exactly the same thing -- "leaderless" because the actual leadership is both too pussyfied to actually step in front of the troops, and too fucking stupid to even sort out ideological difficulties and so make such stepping theoretically meaningful.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the imbecile redditard, who we shall name isis agora fuckhead for no apparent reason except obviously why, ACTUALLY BELIEVEs that it's all the rage and highly fashionable to be part of leaderless "spontaneous movements".
mircea_popescu: any half drunk habitual rapist "soldier" throughout history could have summoned enoujgh sense, in the depths of his stupor, adding up five moments of clarity worth ten minutes dispersed over six weeks to figure out that "hey, the fact our so called army has nobody marching in front speaks poorly of its chances or human quality"
mircea_popescu: yet these "measures of all things" exemplars of pure humanity, that honestly believe their heads are capable of any lifting, if they "just had the facts" hurr durr lol lol snort, nevertheless can't see far enough ahead to realise they're "leaderless" because their leaders are out and out bullshit, and for no other reason.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so they did, yes. OURDEMOCRACY is older than calvin.
mircea_popescu: (who, ironically, didn't speak too highly of it, either.)
mircea_popescu: ro chick, secret service general no less, spent a decade organizing these "leaderless" bullshits in ro.
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you. socialist state is poor and hopeless.
mircea_popescu: just about. who doesn't want to be friends with a hot blondy with brains ?
mircea_popescu: she can have whatever she wants, why the hell not. who else ? who'd you be saving it for, your own kids ?
mircea_popescu: well, here used in the general sense, "if elena asks for a car and you don't give it to her, you're saving it. wtf you;'re saving it for ?"
mircea_popescu: you understand that if you smoke it you're gifting it to mugurel yes ?
mircea_popescu: what sense does that make ? the central bank is just a faceless distillate of all the population.
mircea_popescu: this one at least understands she's supposed to be naked.
mircea_popescu: show me hilarity's. (no, not from now, from back when she didn't understand but should have understood.)
mircea_popescu: point being : the "i'd give it to the soviet comissar rather than to this woman" preference ain't supported.
mircea_popescu: but this one at least understands (even if only spottily applies) that she's supposed to be naked. the other ones generally do not. this one is thereby above average and therefore the preference.
mircea_popescu: as far as the theory goes, at least. in practice, the preference was very much there, she was quite popular in the basescu years.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i don't recall ever going to a good party states-side.
mircea_popescu: then again, i wasn't on the west coast ; nor do i have much patience for the flip flop and smoked out crowd.
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, good party = no less than 60 females per 100, no loser/dork males present, good music not too loudly and some public fucking.
mircea_popescu: oh, and good music = nothing after 2000, no electronica etc crapolade, none of the boy band nkotb idiocy, no faggots (michael, bowie, whatever nonsense with hats).
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> oh, and good music = nothing after 2000, no electronica etc crapolade, none of the boy band nkotb idiocy, no faggots (michael, bowie, whatever nonsense with hats). << Celebrate Victory with 10 Years of Van Halen!!!
