BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they went away not because "mafia went away" and other giulaini nonsense -- but because the blue collar adult male went away. << AHA, amazing how kids who grew up on the "action movie" failed to want to become either mafia dude or blue collar dude.
mircea_popescu: i dun think it has anything to do with anything other than credit.
mircea_popescu: blue collar dude bought a house if he scrounged and saved for one.
mircea_popescu: then the question readily become "how much free shit would it be fair for the $peoplesendingmeenvelopes to send me on a yearly basis"
mircea_popescu: the "living wage" is the necessary result of the bright banking idea of "mail everyone credit cards -- itis good for business!"
mircea_popescu: sure, in the sense burning down house is good for heat.
mircea_popescu: if i ran the bank supervisor would have pulled licenses of anyone engaging in that shit.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: blue collar implies, capable of working
mircea_popescu: worse than that : living in a world in which work exists.
mircea_popescu: work hasn't actually existed in 20 years, there's what we do, and redditard can't to anyway, and otherwise redditarding, which is entirely undistinguishable from simply being monkey in zoo.
mircea_popescu: he too, the monkey in zoo, "maintains social relations" such as befit a monkey in a zoo, and delouses self and friends, and does other uu-aa things which, importantly, are topologically insulated from the actual world through something known as the cage bars.
BingoBoingo: Other shit's getting banned. Apparently it's getting a new life because bedbugs
mircea_popescu: iirc presence in water was somewhat related to prevalence of the supposed adhd disease
BingoBoingo: Apparently now instead of bedding in trash bag and then dumpster when infested, new fad is into trash bag with diclorvos strip and then reuse bedding
BingoBoingo: Now, KKKalifornia is debating a malathion ban which would mean no more produce in USA supermarket ever
BingoBoingo: Butt apparently delousings as social activity is where the dirty antifa hippies are pushing everyone
BingoBoingo: Well, antifa, airbnb, and gabriel_laddel-ites
mircea_popescu: (lulzy thing re that helminth : it was always common in egypt ; because it induces bloody urination it was actually socially-reinterpreted by the same retarded pantsuits who built pyramids as "rite of passage" for boys ie hurray, menstruation too!
mircea_popescu: but then the victorious socialism came by, started building a world of the future without such pests. this was to be accomplished through forced injection of wonder drugs, that did not work. the injecting however left egypt the highest hepatitis C place in the world, and by far. it's actually epidemiologically traceable to the victorious socialism campaigns, by geographic area and social groups.)
BingoBoingo: lol, kinda curious what the beetus epidemic is going to do to US hep c rates
mircea_popescu: well unlike 1960s nader, 2010s obama has cheap disposable needles
mircea_popescu: in other vaguely related lulz : the "disability weight" is a nonsensical scalar measure invented by the kanzure type idiots who deal in "DALY" ie "societal measures of health" and such bullshit. they publish lousy fanfic with some regularity, which can be amusing. for instance, as per the 2004 official truth, blindness was the 2nd most serious problem, (after alzheimer's, ahead of schizophrenia, being the top 3) with a nonsen
mircea_popescu: sical factor of "0.594". the 2010 edition of the "same" list of masturbatory products dropped it to 0.195, because, get this, "we changed our fanfic to be measure of health rather than welfare and blind person is not ill"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile lower back pain went from 0.06 to 0.37 because HEY!!! all things must be done by for and through the office drone! WHO COULD DISPUTE THIS WORLDVIEW!
mircea_popescu: there's an endless ocean of lolcow tears, out there. all sorts of these groups by now, "doing things" orally.
mircea_popescu: (the sponsors of this wank are the gates fambly. generally you'll find each wankfest has its own ex-corporate dumbasses behind it)
BingoBoingo: Well, makes sense for the gates fambly for the Buffet reason of preventing future competing gates famblys
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure it has anything baked in above and beyond, "here's a billion we don't know what to do with, because we won it at the social mobility lottery, can anyone halp ?" resulting in an ad-hoc, informally specified, poorly directed and utterly undesigned effort to produce words and "numbers" in exchange for expense accounts.
mircea_popescu: for the same money this set of microscopic ant guys processing a drop of mango pulp on my counter are doing research at my behest.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there is some acturial basis for it, well buried under the fanfic. much like there's a thin sliver of actual geological survey buried under the "global warming" wank.
BingoBoingo: But think how many other famblys trying to play social mobility lottery bet big on blind only to see the Gates change the drawing rules on them
BingoBoingo: In same way ants doing mango research are there for fna's entertainment
mircea_popescu: (if you're in any way related to "teh industry" of "science" you're aware how much of a fucking problem content generation is / was)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo speaking of fna, lulz of all time : i have a wall mounted wide screen. as you can imagine, it is THE hottest bit of real estate as far as gecko is concerned (very safe, nice and warm at night, plenty of hidey places, a villa!)
mircea_popescu: now, as it happens a wall mounted screen will be watched mostly in the early evening. as it also happens, fna will sleep during day, wake up for business in the early evening.
mircea_popescu: consequently this poor animal has a bunch of people STALKING HIM, watching his house at gecko's 7-8am. just as he's getting ready to try and beat the god damned traffic to work!
mircea_popescu: so he'd come out, run 10-20 cm, discover all these eyes on him, turnabout run back in, wait a little, try again...
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, "United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat’s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness" is a genuine case citation, early in rem litigation in new york.
BingoBoingo still pissed that "People of the State of Illinois" so rarely includes him in making decisions on who to versus
BingoBoingo would threaten ot stahp paying taxes, but too lol-te
BingoBoingo may end up netting a profit on most recent speeding ticket
BingoBoingo: But that depends on the State's continued demonstrations of bad faith in discovery continuing to generate tort fuel
mircea_popescu: sooo are we sticking to pre schwartz notions of "physicists are talking nonsense" ?
mircea_popescu: seems to me it's the job of math people to produce all needed schwartzen and their shortcoming when they fail to do so.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you are aware "consensus" among the math tribe was that dirac & friends are talking nonsense ?
mircea_popescu: and i suppose the evident similarity between dirac delta and "whichever unnamed abstractions you support your estimation of string theory" is also striking to you ?
mircea_popescu: (schwartz above is laurent schwartz, provided an elegant translation of the non-functional nature of dirac's delta by using distribution limits to model it)
mircea_popescu: there is in this sense. if "alcohol" "leads people into sin", then those led into sin are to be hanged ; but alcohol not condemned.
mircea_popescu: not concrete in any sense ; and not meaningful either, but still.
mircea_popescu: "things that i can fuck", "things that i can understand", "things i can talk about". many kinds of things.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dirac's delta, aslo crafted with clear political angle : to exclude non-diracians from so-and-so set of benches.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i put it to you, that if such a thing should exist, the head is at fault not the thing.
mircea_popescu: do also there exist "bad data" known by that fact that "if put into computer, break it" ? fix the fucking code.
mircea_popescu: obscenity laws, banned books, political correctness, antivirus corps etc are all the sorry product of the contrary view.
mircea_popescu: so you'll settle on "dirac's delta visibly parsimonious ; string theory not so visibly if at all" ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose this actually enacts a fundamental of "parsimony" in estimation of all ideal objects.
mircea_popescu: "do it or else alf won't like it and mp won't defend you and what else is there for you."
mircea_popescu: very literally true, too. the act of fermentation as a thermodynamic process is correctly modelled as an increase in entropy ie exactly "that way lies demonology"
mircea_popescu: system becomes more complex over time at a steady rate based on temperature / gates' worthless money input.
mircea_popescu: exaclty as per the above "ants doing mango pulp powered research"
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : each and everyone politician abscam put in jail (bout 30 or so) were... democrats. the party of corruption survived!
mircea_popescu: aand in yet more lulz : cancer incidence increased in us adolescents by a steady 0.5 - 0.6% per year, each year, since 1975.

mircea_popescu: and in other lulz from elaine ou : "ripple", which apparently is an entity that scammed wall street "investors" out of 55mn "investment" managed to write "R3" which is a sort of nothing in particular an XRP option worth supposedly a billion (admitting ripple the fake coin is worth anything) and while they can't back out of it, there's legal wrangling lulz :
