a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 22:28 phf: mircea_popescu: i've given a more nuanced answer over the logs. i've said that stuff from last year is junk, i'm not sure about stuff from this year, because i haven't inspected it yet. short of asciilifeform's periodic jabs, there was simply no reason to dedicate more time to it, considering that from a useful work perspective this is seen as a hobby, and i already have a backlog of things i actually need to be working on.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 22:49 phf: asciilifeform: fwiw i didn't ignore your point. i don't trust you with this stuff, and not because you're not trustworthy, but because you refuse to be discreet when asked to be. and again since this will be misconstrued, i'm not saying keep things secret, i was specifically asking you to _quitely_ use the products of my work.
mircea_popescu: the only bag of lulz is the apparently endlessly recurent "this chick's a moron but ima indulge".
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-12-18 19:57 mircea_popescu: why is it that this church is notable in spite of not having a feedbot ?
a111: Logged on 2014-07-26 17:26 mircea_popescu: "just get rid of her if she's annoying" leads directly to "and get rid of any slaves that can't cope with no pp or complain enough"
mircea_popescu: it takes stronger distorsion fields than i'm willing to run, the entertaining of this particular flavour of "but nevertheless"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which would be the "music" in this discussion ?
mircea_popescu: one day a poor gypsy teenager with no clear clan affiliation ran away from whatever rural shithole.
mircea_popescu: spent a year or so taking it in the ass in the backroom of various roadside inns.
mircea_popescu: told the gathered round kiddies that he was all the while in service of the prince of sarajevo
mircea_popescu: who defeated the americans at the battle of krivoy rog.
mircea_popescu: at ~this particular juncture~ kiddie mp tunes out. because while he can't evaluate whether this gypo did or did not serve a "prince of sarajevo" he might or might not have heard of,
mircea_popescu: he knows for a fact how this "battle of krivoy rog" turned out.
mircea_popescu: ~if~ those people were smart enough to build the item you describe, the ~reasonable expectation~ is they'd have been smart enough to behave ~muchly variant~ from the ~actual way they behaved~ in fields much easier to observe.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is no proof. but it does inform what is, for all of us, a reasonable suspicion. you think you have reason to suspect bolix is more notable than atari.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i think i have reason to suspect ~the people who made it~ are ~not more notable~ than say amir taaki.
mircea_popescu: so then, thing can sit as it sits, i don't expect to persuade you (and i see the merit in "pre-republic, engineers===morons". i just don't see why this should be perpetuated, hence original "bag of lulz" comment.
mircea_popescu: in short : you (correctly) insist because it hasn't been proven not to be ; and i am not particularly taken because it doesn't seem to have been. these are different measures.
mircea_popescu: it'd be a lot more relatable if you managed these things more like i do and less like a rabid pubescent wolverine.

mircea_popescu: i've not spoken to my mother since 2015. we were always very close, and i always liked her, enough so that three decades together didn't produce any cause of rupture. yet somehow, somewhere along the way she got the idea she has the option of venue, and it's up to her whether to be here or not.

mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is why the sort of familiarity-breeds-all-i-need morons "don't get math". boys, especially engineertards, may think her legs carefully exposed so as to "resolve" the "hot but not hot enough for the girlgroup to say slut" "dilemma" pass ; but math never fucking passes, it's always a case of either the way or the highway.
mircea_popescu: books are too fucking depressing. "hey, remember when people read ?"
mircea_popescu: do you understand we shot that idiot, and for our trouble got "freedom", and so no fucking body reads anymore ?
mircea_popescu: "Мужчина без остро выраженной социальной позиции напоминает трансвестита, подкаблучника, труса или еще какую дешевую мерзость, недостойную носить это гордое имя: Воин! Дядька, стыдливо проходящий мимо подлости и грязи, — это уже напо
mircea_popescu: ловину тетка, вне зависимости от его кондиций, возраста и социального статуса."
mircea_popescu: if you ever wondered about the deluge of crossdressers -- this is exactly it, i'm sure. in the immortal words of Weston Amsbury Liggett, "to beat everyone, including you, to the punch".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on meditation, that piece makes it plainly evident redditardation is ~generational~, not ideological. there sit the russki kids, who'd be in a fine position to understand the problem. god knows they have much better access to much better priors that readily illuminate it.
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, the 90s romanian redditard magazine was called "dilema".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo has a lot more in his hand with the whole degenegeliation theory than readily realised : schmucks simply wanna "dilemma".
mircea_popescu: somehow the idiots born during the latter half of the cold war decided the only way to "truly live" is in stasis, waiting for "unresolvable conflict".
mircea_popescu: this so evidently has nothing at all to do with "cold war" and "nuclear standoff", either.
BingoBoingo: Nah, they thrive pretending to unresolvable conflict
BingoBoingo: Hence trillions for F-35 which is only a danger to pilot is not controversial while ~5 billion for wall can't happen. The conflict MUST survive!
BingoBoingo: Wall fits in the "againing" It's about all US has left in its ablity to act, but because it could be done Pantsuit desperately doesn't want it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am entirely not proposing any others ~have their mothers do~ anything specific, this or that. i am saying though, and plainly, that the sort of people whose mothers ~don't do what they tell them to~ это уже наполовину тетка.
mircea_popescu: (degenegelation, portmanteau of degeneration and hegel)
mircea_popescu: depends whose, it is not for me to say, nor am i interested in saying.
mircea_popescu: and there's no sarcasm nor any subtext at all there. i'm not gonna tell you what to do with your women in general, but by the time what you're doing is driven by "what will wife's daddy think", you fucked up.
BingoBoingo: ^ In refreshing changes of pace, old woman bitching did something exciting for a change
