BigTexasBingo: The things what Okcupid should have been. For some reason no users in USA and many in LATAM

mod6: so, hindsight here... i should have just stuck to that.
mod6: I'm still gonna write up that blog post about the change to how the press-path is calculated. Hopefully have somthing here by Monday.
mod6: Hopefully that will get some good discussion going here so we can all validate it's correctness.
mod6: The automated tests that I wrote are paying in spades btw.

mod6: Will be good to get these changes in, get it tested & validated, and then move on to the other pressing matters of the Foundation. :]

phf: yes, but what if they study martial arts
mircea_popescu: no they don't even have to study anything, evil patriarchy will put magical blue pills in their tummy and then beat them into activation see, and then LUCY will become divine through downloading magics.
mircea_popescu: whole fucking pantsuit world cinema is entirely "man puts magic into woman belly and then activates it and then woman wins" wank.
mircea_popescu: you'd think everyone is away fighting the aliens or some shit, and this is what happens in the meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: "why do any work, just wait around to be knocked up by god and then get a divorce settlement from god court" ~= "action movie" ffs.
mircea_popescu: (and by the way -- martial arts ARE FOR MEN. it dun work for women. AT ALL!)\
phf: well, it's pious tzadiks writing revenge porn on goyim, which somehow fell on fertile soil in this country.
☟︎ phf: the woman twist is just a modern twist on american lore
phf: which is a shame, because before superman (and for a while in parallel), american lore was adequate
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which is what im saying, whole shebang is inept retelling of stolen storyhalves
mircea_popescu: "i dunno what he saved, but i knew plenty of cockrings named david"
phf: "the name is DAHveed"
mircea_popescu: and the fact that they're all stolen from new testament cliffnotes particularly irritates me.
mircea_popescu: phf suppose you live in arhangelsk oblast, and suppose all they ever serve is some derivative of supermarket food. mostly, canned tomatoes.
mircea_popescu: "oh, great day today, we found walmart surplus cans, rather than the usual polish crap"
mircea_popescu: "what, you mean walk out of town ?" "WHAT FUCKING TOWN!" "but... but... it could be dangerous." "Bitch..." "think of the children!!!"
mircea_popescu: canned fucking tomatoes are not even worth eating in the first place.
phf: yes, but nobody's produced illustrated version of bible where all the womens have large, barely covered tits
mircea_popescu: the new trend is recycled 1990s fashion models. except a) fucking little boys is no longer fashionablr and b) what was acceptable in 1995 of 16yo "women" because 90s and gayness is not acceptable of the same women aged 40 today.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769401 << Somewhat relatedly, this is why I've always preferred the "Batman" over other american superhero lore, at least on premise alone. Roughly the only "realistic" one of the bunch. No magic flies ingested, just a dude who leverages his large pool of financial -resources- and goes out and does vigilante shit with it.

mircea_popescu: lobbes except for the part where the way these "resources" work in his case is exactlyu contrary to the way they work in every other case.
☟︎ lobbes: Oya. Hence the "premise alone". Falls apart rapidly beyond that, but I appreciate at least the attempt at "jesus/aliens ain't coming to save you; save your fucking self. Get over and embrace your fears, etc"
mircea_popescu: i always thought it's just "get the preppy demo" attempt of the pulp to expand.
deedbot: state_bits voiced for 30 minutes.
state_bits: Hello, been lurking trilema for a little bit. Figured I'd join the channel and learn more about tmsr and bitcoin
lobbes: state_bits you read teh logs? If not, you should!
state_bits: Yeah I'm trying to keep up with it as much as possible
phf: a scarlet pimpernel, a society man doing valiant daringdo by night
mircea_popescu: have you been taking snark classes along the sanskrit phf ?
lobbes: That fever must've given him nuclearoactive super-snark
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu recently saw "looper", a nine MILLIONTH!!! same retelling of here's whart we ustards managed to steal off the bible, whore (single mother!!!) and repentant sinner (junkie!!!) save baby jesus << That's half of US film between 2001 and 2015
shinohai: Now he has superpowers, no spiderbite required
BingoBoingo: It's this thing where the children imagine they've transcended mommy and daddy's church only to plagiarize it

trinque: and this as a crude option
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 18:48 mircea_popescu: consequently taking something uttered by usg asset as words rather than "o look what kitten did with its own faeces!" is a little weird.

Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not, but it is the way things are." << from another schmuck with a nobel prize.

trinque: also in batman, "my parents are dead!!11!", also shows up a lot in disney garbage. interesting how art does its thing whether they producing meant to or not.
