mircea_popescu: jew coverage as to how this is concerning but doesn't matter and people still give a shit about them abundent enough ?
mircea_popescu: they may be slow on the uptake, but their owners are not. a franchise is 100% made out of sucking the right cock, and pantsuitism just turned clitty.
BingoBoingo: Jew coverage on this is "OMG inspirational Houston vs Perennial almost good LA finally being good World Series bringing attention to baseball"
BingoBoingo: And no coverage of "working Hispanics wanna see Make Great Great Again"
mircea_popescu: i suppose its hard for a jew to grok the wordcount point.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course too many words. They can't be direct. Violates pantsuit principal of alway covering girl floor with fabric.

BingoBoingo: In other learnings of the day, apparently "language schools" can qualify persons for student visas in Brazil where 10X hour course translates to X month visa.
BingoBoingo: Cost of language school is to be determined. But it never hurts to meet people outside of work. Compatibility of language school visa and administering an EIRELI to be determined, but it allows presence in the country and less butt probes than business visa from the view so far.
BingoBoingo: For gringo EIRELI requires 150,000 Reals of registered capital to establish, but is reading as an actually sole proprietor limited liability vehicle. That amount still comes with "plan to employ two Brazialians requirement" but virtual knocking on lawyer doors.

mircea_popescu: i'm sure it's the magic numbers 4.3.0 and 4.3.18 that are at fault ; naught else.
jessie_: i made that statement because yesterday night i had a nightmare were i was basically kidnapped
jessie_: and then when the sadic russian picked the chainsaw to cut my dick in a very gory way i woke up
mircea_popescu: jessie_ the obvious approach is to see if playing bottom isn't very satisfying. as orson scott card well points out, the only way to survive temptation is to yield to it.
jessie_: my thought was: if i give out the bitcoins, they are lost for god and then, in the middle of nowhere, the kidnapper could do some sadic game to get full satisfaction
mircea_popescu: nevermind that. dreams are psychanalitically meaningful, not directly interpretable.
mircea_popescu: fun fact : vast majority of girlies mp has enslaved to date enjoyed kidnapping-and-rape dreams during pubescence.
mircea_popescu: this because... hurr durr, a vast majority of all females do.
jessie_: if i do NOT hand out the privkeys, well, i will sacrifice my dick, suicide a couple of days after, but also being acclamated as the "moar deflation guy" on reddit and gain a lot of karma points
mircea_popescu: castration-and-rape is probably just nature's way of suggesting you try the female lobe of sexuality on for size.
jessie_: how much a girlie earn for beign enslaved?
mircea_popescu: eh, you're still anally fixated, no sex for you yet. probably should declutter your workplace.
jessie_: this has nothing to do with my nightmare, but actually i have made the kidnapping nightmare exactly after reading this
mircea_popescu: jessie_ are you done with teh attention whoring and ready to actually do something useful, or rather are you done with the attention whoring and ready to move on ?

mircea_popescu: oh btw, did you see the medieval afore-the-walls inn yet ?
mircea_popescu: nah. there's a large square building dominating what's know the "fabric" neighbourhood.
mircea_popescu: it was one of the largest of its kind, and very emblematic for the period too
mircea_popescu: (medieval gates were a big deal, much like today's airports. most people had to sleep somewhere)
mircea_popescu: the item has what was clearly an open hall on the ground floor, then drinking rooms above, then actual rooms for sleeping above-er, decorations on the roof (to be seen from distance by travellers) and everything
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not worth anything. timisoara is dead as a going concern, a local detroit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just have someone take you down "bulevardul 3 august 1919". you will come to a plaza where the tramlines split. facing it, on your right is this block-sized building. the plaza has some items of interest also.
mircea_popescu: it can't be had. why the fuck do you think it's dead as a going concern ?

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> full megabenjie ? half ? or wat was it << 100 kiloEuro and 10 jobs
mircea_popescu: cheap is marry local, fuck her until pregnant, divorce her a year later, pay court ordered 600 lei/mo or w/e until you forget.
mircea_popescu: i don't right off recall what the rules for the lazy were. get local lawyer ask him
mircea_popescu: the "legal" approach will take longer and require more work, you're just new in this world and don't understand how the state works yet.
mircea_popescu: but as a general rule of thumb, whenever a fiat govt is involved, sensible isn't.
BingoBoingo: At least Brazil has "platinum" plan where 500,000 Reals ~150-200kilodollars gets visa without hires on assumtion you're gonna be spending
BingoBoingo: Anyways the big difference in how fiat authorities self present is whether they call themselves competent authorities or reasonable authorities
BingoBoingo: Everythig beyond that is details and rapelust
alex__c: checked out of curiosity.. for a Romanian passport you need Ro citizenship.. and in turn, you can get citizenship after 8 years of having lived here

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Just apply for political asylum
BingoBoingo: alex__c: How many hires does 1,000,000 invested require?
alex__c: can't find any further explanation on what investing means, and how to prove it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from experience, no. i had girls overstay their tourist visa by years.
mircea_popescu: the whole system is constructed to catch the poor. if your girls dun need to work, dun need to apply for anything to any govt office, they can stay forever.
mircea_popescu: as a general rule you don't want personal property registered with the fiatistans.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: personal property is for bitcoins, women, actually valuable things.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, if you're not staying a full year, you don't need any of this ; if you are, that's plenty of time to marry-and-divorce.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, why not. Passports don't expire for 10 years. Not like there's seekrit transnational marriage police if you aren't Catholic.

mircea_popescu: but should locals end up on the receiving payment for renoir, sure as fuck they do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the discussion was "banks have fulltime politruk to report your every moving penny to guess whom".
mircea_popescu: they report it for everyone, citizen and orc alike. just in the case of citizen they report by default ; whereas in the case of orc not.
