BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> oh and in "social media was invented to entertain me" reprints, me : how goes it ? 19yo f iowa : "dying inside casually. you ?" me : "here's yachting pics." << win
mircea_popescu: im vaguely wondering what a 2000 born iowan even makes of a boat pic.
mircea_popescu: all these kids born after the world went to shit. "vhs america" indeed.
mircea_popescu: back before 2001/1990s/bush/etc happened, the remnants of "male culture" were actually headed towards a boaty paradise, i suspect.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> btw i keep resisting but now gotta ask, how big exactly is a 'gangstaroll' ? when i went to ro i was able to pack a coupla kilobux , is all that will comfortably fold in normal human wallet << I packed $20 bills for convenience
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo not so smart ; outside of us nobody ever uses anything other than 100s
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform real gangsters use clips. << rubber bands, hence roll
mircea_popescu: uruguay maybe not. but still, the general idea is... 20s are for inzeks. 100s are for outzeks.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> sounds conspicuous-at-airport tho. << for flight were flay stacked in obvious blue vinyl banker's bag
trinque: asciilifeform: what? I spent big chunks of youth idle time with my dad trying to kill me behind a boat.
trinque: I guess yeah, texan thing. dad would get drunk all day, try to murder the kids on a tether behind boat.
mircea_popescu: in the southwest men will actually pick up (the otherwise very submissive) women with children and parent them anyway.
mircea_popescu: in fact there's a lot of ethnographic and social difference across the "nation" which isn't. that the pantsuit don't know about it... well... they don't know about anything else, either, do they.
mircea_popescu: but for the sake of historical record, the very traditional central european "you may not say no to a man ; and ESPECIALLY not sexually" lands, ie from south carolina south and west as far as maybe eastern arizona, provide slut protection, in that "and if you end up alone with three kids before you're 30 i won't hold that against you".
mircea_popescu: the "feminist misery" as overrepresented in pantsuit media is mostly the result of urban californite reinterpretation of 1800s era boston puritanism. "if you're enjoyable you lose at life". makes for the obese, neurotic, deeplyh unhappy "queers" and whatnots.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the east coast moved to a very mechanicistic "if you can't engineer you're a failed bioexperiment", which makes for a slightly differenty flavour of very unhappy, somewhat overweight neuroticoball.
trinque: asciilifeform: none, but they're miserable they aren't
mircea_popescu: hey, europe spent five centuries going "o noes, sin" and where are all the saints.
mircea_popescu: the absence of engineers is not germane to this discussion. we're talking sociology here.
mircea_popescu: to put it another way : women will fail at anything they set their mind to. of course they would. that's the point of life on earth, everyone does it, what can you say. ars will stay longa.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the manner in which they recount this failure to themselves varies by place and culture.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo not so smart ; outside of us nobody ever uses anything other than 100s << I have yet to see another confirmed gringo here, but the idea with 20's is more of them and single one is an amount suitable for what alf would call "human" transactions.
BingoBoingo: The big fear was after the argentard stories being surrounded by poor, stupid folk.
BingoBoingo: Most except the destitute I have met so far at least put on airs of "middle class" or "aspiring elite"
BingoBoingo: Have yet to find any stories of unofficial exchange rate out of sync with official one, but given alquilar en pesos y comprar en dollares... seems probable there is one
mircea_popescu: they don't like to save in the local currency of a tiny mismanaged we-produce-nothing "corporation"
mircea_popescu: they prefer a larger one. apparently tbtf is a thing in human cognition.
BingoBoingo: I have yet to meet an Uruguayan who introduced Trump to any conversation.
BingoBoingo: I am at this point very unsure if the Uruguayans view politics as anything other than an operations discussion on how to extract value from stupid Argentine spending.
BingoBoingo: "Come to Montevideo, It's like Buenos Aires but quieter and less shitty"
mircea_popescu: i dun think most people realise how close curetage is to a really bad shave that's 2 layers too close.
BingoBoingo: Lol, there's so many ads on the street for hair removal
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform people dumb enough to get caught in a country which requires ferry trip for disposition rarely make anything like an early phase.
mircea_popescu: plus, for an argentine any expenditure over ~40 cents requires a bank loan.
mircea_popescu: i was standing in a shop to buy a ream of socks and shit, and this dork before me, ENTIRELY in the european academic geddup, including the ugly colors, the jersey, the bag over shoulder etc paid for ONE PAIR worth ~3 bux with a credit card.
BingoBoingo saw one payday lender at mall vs many bill pay offices
mircea_popescu: i was like "aren't you ashamed of yourself" and he pretended like he doesn't know i'm talking to him. EXACTLY like clinton & friends.
mircea_popescu: if you need someone to lend you money for socks as a 50yo male you really have no excuse to be here.
BingoBoingo: Many of the larger shops offer discounts for card payments, apparently in retail that is a way to recover some VAT
mircea_popescu: and ESPECIALLY don't try the womanly "wisdom" angle. a male that dumb has nothing to impart by the definition of terms.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo over two bucks ? take 5 more minutes and have to sign shit ? what's the per-transaction risk cost to the card, ie, if your time were free and your pen were free, how much is the maximum card value capped at to make this purchase not a loss ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The retailers offering this are not ones where one easily spends only 2 bucks
mircea_popescu: back when i had (company) cards a decade ago, i used them to cover >1k bills at large wholesalers, not $300 at the restaurant. and EVEN SO it was iffy.
BingoBoingo: It's mostly the higher end looking clothiers and restaurants in Montevideo shopping.
mircea_popescu: because the per-usage cost of fraud upon a credit card is like 1.5-1.8% of its total net value. meaning if your account is worth over 100k lifetime, you can't afford to use a card to pay less than a coupla k's. and if your account is worth LESS than 100k lifetime there's no fucking reason you could possibly have to use a bank for anything.
BingoBoingo: Further from Montevideo Shopping and the WTC, the discount signage disappears
mircea_popescu: "y... me descuenta por efectivo ?", best magic words ever.
BingoBoingo: So far change for a $20 bill is consistently being rounded in my favor to avoid burdening me with coins.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's what you naively think ; but not in practice.
BingoBoingo: The coins are cool, but... they cover 10 pesos on down so that's a lot of metal
mircea_popescu: nevermind the end consumer. look into business owners / middle class experiences, the net is fulla "oh, they have this bank acct they won't let me close that keeps getting dinged by fraudsters and they charge me"
mircea_popescu: us bank account is insanity on the face, i was discussing the (at the time still somewhat sane) eurolands.
mircea_popescu: well what the fuck, am i going to pay with taxed money ?
mircea_popescu: ~all of the pantsuit only has one economic utility left, and that is to "police" the web for anything deviating from their worldview.
mircea_popescu: as long as fed can keep printing, they'll keep going to "moderation college" for a "moderator career".
BingoBoingo: Well, an empire can't die holding only a single mistake

cazalla: dick masterton cucked poor maddox
cazalla: mircea_popescu, you see maddox trying to sue dick for 20m for saying mean things about him on the net?
cazalla: they were, but maddox became an sjw
cazalla: maybe a year or 2 ago now, maddox thought everyone was listening for him, but turned out they were tuning in to hear dick, so maddox went his own way expecting all the patreon bucks to come to him, but only a couple hundred while dick pulling in thousands lol
mircea_popescu: maddox has this very annoying girl voice. nfi what he thought he was doing with vlogging or w/e
mircea_popescu: well, actually, o have an idea : need a lot more material to fill text than video, so every lazy ass is trying to sell his ugly nose pimples in lieu.
cazalla: poor ol' maddox even went to court telling them dick said bad things about him, his gf, stole his ex-gf and on it goes, funniest thing maddox has ever done to date imo
mircea_popescu: there should be a law that anyone filing suit for under 1mn gets caned instead, and then sold by open outcry.
mircea_popescu: "6. In 2014, Defendant Herrera was relatively unknown, had a small fan base, few resources, and therefore, being included in Plaintiff’s Podcast represented a huge opportunity for him." ahahaha what the fuck, is he off his rocker ?
mircea_popescu: o sweet merciful jesus, "19. The harassment campaign(s) Defendant Herrera, and the other Defendants’, have created, and continue to create, against Plaintiffs’ are appalling, wanton, vindictive, ruthless, and patently repulsive.

BingoBoingo: effectively due to shittiness of moderation system). That is unless the news is Google is taking the contractors on as direct hires
mircea_popescu: i expect they want to turn as many of their cogs as possible with it. so yes, hired through manpower, mandatory-complimentary "id protection" from equifucks and so on.
