mp_en_viaje: see, cuz in a sane place you ~pay~. but in argentinorway, "there's no money".
mp_en_viaje: helped plenty, old whore went from presidency to jail cell.
mp_en_viaje: i'm also not that into rape. for the exact same reasons, too. who the fuck can be bothered ?
mp_en_viaje: can't even get to the end of they begging on hands and knees in ten lives, what terraformic.

mp_en_viaje: i expect you'd notice the sudden absence of a technical world.
mp_en_viaje: i expect you;d notice cutting up cardboard is what "students" do there. by the time "technology" is an oil drum sawed in half for "parilla"...
mp_en_viaje: i can see it, if you can live in wash dc, can luive anywhere
mp_en_viaje: admittedly, if one cares about nothing one could lvie anywhere.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, so did that "bitcoin financier" in his own mind kill himself for having "

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: "Quadriga represented itself as being one of Canada’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges serving over 360,000 registered Users. Notwithstanding the size of the operation in terms of transactional values and volumes processed, specifically during 2017 and 2018, Quadriga was effectively a small operation with what appears to be limited corporate infrastructure and limited controls in respect of its operations." << gotta love the rich pretense there
mp_en_viaje: github-retardation/][github] or usg
the topnode itself. these don't equally represent themselves, spuriously if ridiculously, as "serving users" that don't exist (and they don't serve), as having money they don't have (or for that matter understand) and so following. no, not them, just this one, exceptionally.
mp_en_viaje: e this fixed idiocy in the world, you're no longer an unwashed urchin because the goat was the unwashed urchin and the goat was killed therefore you're now clean and respectable.
mp_en_viaje: and the similarity lulz are not just one coincidental spot of comedy, they're everywhere!
mp_en_viaje: "KYC User information, where available, supplied to Quadriga has been saved directly within the Platform. The data is not masked in any way. Administrative access such as the access previously utilized by the independent consultants and Mr. Cotten and the access granted to the Monitor allows access to view KYC information for any User. Given the sensitivity of this personal information, the Monitor has restricted Platform access
mp_en_viaje: internally to a small number of Monitor / Trustee representatives who require access to the Platform to administer these proceedings." aka "we do not like what these people did [because it was these people doing it] therefore we have proceeded to doing THE EXACT SAME THING they did and self-importantly act like it's all better now -- because it's us doing it, not them!"
mp_en_viaje: the quality, let alone quantity of cognitive dissonance involved in the day-to-day operations of femstate agents is unparalleled in nature.
mp_en_viaje: ~same everyrthing else is. what's kfc ? a random jumble of unwashed negros and white trash "students" ie vagabonds meeting occasionally through their phones' social media apps.
mp_en_viaje: they "serve customers food", theoretically.
diana_coman: I suppose it makes sense as moving on from pretending to learn to pretending to do /serve as there's nothing else apparently.
mp_en_viaje: it's pretty bloodcurdling, this brave new world as examined through the lifting of the smallest of rocks hiding its wormy pullulation from the sun.
mp_en_viaje: it's almost as if the pantsuit honestly believe they found the holy grail of scamming, everyone else is doing it wrong (tm)
mp_en_viaje: actually come to think of it... that's EXACTLY what they believe.
mp_en_viaje: speshul&protected scammer class, aka "nordic system"
diana_coman: what can I say, to me it reads over-and-over again like all the group-thinking ever did: if we do it, it's all right because we are ALL doing it, if s/he does it, it is wrong because it's outside the group
☟︎ diana_coman: i.e. right/wrong is all about whether it's "one of us" or not, nothing to do with anything else.
diana_coman: where "one of us" is really "us", there is no such thing as "one"
mp_en_viaje: so i turn on the tv, first channel is vox music, ace of base, "all that she wants"
a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 10:06 mp_en_viaje: scammers indicting scammers for being scammers
mp_en_viaje: the problem here is that the posturing contains some element of intellectual superiority. "you rob one ship -- dumbly, because dumb. i ''''rob''' a thousand, so well
they beg me to keep on robbing and weep when i give it all up and leave."
mp_en_viaje: whereas the reality contains no such, but in fact a shocking equality of intellectual means, and modes, and mores, between the pirate calling himself alexander and all other pirates.

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, the problem / curse / salient feature of postmodern man is this peculiar ascetism, of the "future" ilk.
mp_en_viaje: all idealistic periods (commonly referred to "dark ages", esp when not talking of one's own) share this problem, very dedicatedly ascetic, consumatedly futuristic
mp_en_viaje: the one feature of years 400-1400 were precisely great sincerity of religious sentiment, doubled by great purity of practice. eschatological religion, of course, very scientific & all.
mp_en_viaje: in fact -- evaporation ~is fundamental mechanism~. there's a
great monologue explaining the problem ; basically : if not lost, not truly felt like had. loss is proof of haveness, much like
offspring dependency is proof of potency.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, indeed, i suspect we agree. "to have loved and never lost is not so much like having ever loved at all", there's a certain insufficiency of feeling requiring the cripple to die defeated and alone.
mp_en_viaje: re the eating, it's prolly more a case of "mom finally came to her senses, took me back in". ever read "confederacy of dunces", 60s boo?
mp_en_viaje: by one john kennedy toole. currently in the copyrast cone of shadow, but one of the very few us items worth reading
billymg: confederacy of dunces was a great read, also had me laughing out loud nearly the whole way through
billymg: his, i believe one, other book, the neon bible, also not bad
bvt: if you want, can share the tarballs as well. afaik mips also uses zcx by default -- i did not change anything there
billymg: so i'm planning to give my two weeks notice next week so i can focus on actual work. i'm also going to be looking for property on the other side of the wire
billymg: mp_en_viaje: what do you think of the puntarenas region in cr?
billymg: i'm thinking cr because it's already been vetted, but i admit i'm not sure yet what would be best for me, i just know i should get out
bvt: well, building is actually trivial -- sed 's/aarch64 x86_64/x86_64 mipsel-sf/' build-ada-arm64.sh > build-ada-mipsel.sh ; i'll do a post about this, but this'd be all the technical meat in it
bvt: re rtc -- i can see that. re network - i guess at some point it may be easier to provide a (first, emulated, later hardwarized) pipe device and write a custom driver to it; basically a high-speed tty that also transfers information about message boundaries
bvt: i have never worked with slip, so can't tell right now
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: billymg, on a personal note i fucking hate puntarenas ; rural shithole, terrible services, connects by boat to nicoya which idem rural shithole, terrible services.
mp_en_viaje: businesswise i dunno, if you have some kinda insider tip then it may work for you ; but in the general i suspect cr is actually overbought as it stands, and while the effect may be least noticeable in the rural edges, there's a reason for this -- marginality dampens, meaning the tiny sliver of overboughtness spilled all the way to over there is actually fair and market supported, meaning good times won't propagate any better.
mp_en_viaje: prolly a better bet to buy real estate in ukraina or syria than costa rica. it's always good to buy in places the pantsuits just finished "helping" and sell in places they're just about to start "helping".
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: depends what you want and what you're doing, kinda the problem here is, a very general question can't possibly get but the most useless of vague answers.
billymg: i also thought of a small b&b in tamarindo, to generate income, plus something else with more acreage to live on further inland. i also know a girl here, who already speaks spanish and is entrepreneurial herself, who could be relied upon to run such a b&b
mp_en_viaje: mind that owning real estate [as a business] in foreign jurisdictions, esp exotic ones, is generally very demanding of the owner, in terms of business acumen and experience and etc.
mp_en_viaje: billymg, lotta people do that, i'd sat 40% actually make any money. like, ever.
billymg: in terms of what i'd see myself doing, i think the most important task for the rest of my life is to protect my keys, if i can do that then i should be fine
mp_en_viaje: so it comes down to the brass tacks, how low can you keep the costs of making breakfast and how likely the chick's to run off etc.
billymg: beyond that my goal would be to work on whatever the republic needs working on
billymg: and fill as many gaps in my knowledge -- technical, lingual, personal -- as i can
billymg: she would offer other services as well, tantric massage, bdsm stuff is her speciality here
mp_en_viaje: where the fuck did you find a bdsm local in cr ?!
mp_en_viaje: so wait, you wanna import a nyc hussy in cr, and she's willing to go ?
mp_en_viaje: hell yeah. forget the bs, get yourself a spot in jaco, put up neons larger than the wall.
mp_en_viaje: and advertise in san jose, the shitty part around us embassy (escazu)
mp_en_viaje: also make sure you can get her some back-ups, and other such protective measures.
mp_en_viaje: forget the "b&b" bs, there's 5`000 of them and most don't make money.
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: billymg, take a hair stylist with no clear ideas of the future along, or at least take about the possibility of joining etc.
mp_en_viaje: the cr pink market is fuckiong desperate. the locals are braindead, the entire reason cr tourism is dying is that the tards permitted their pink market to die out sometime between 1995 and 2015.
mp_en_viaje: you can literally fix a small country, if you can be arsed.
mp_en_viaje: get yourself support locally, too. there's a few remnant pantsui torgs that need strangling ; i murdered one there's just a few left. they must be publicly raped, and then get the repubkican style institutions going.
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: "0 tolerance for uppity old women organization", instead of the "acoso callejero awareness bullshit'
mp_en_viaje: it's so small tho, and so everyone's cousins, all you really need are a coupla prominent lawyers, a head of this or that here and there, and the cool head to use it.
billymg: not the line of work i pictured myself in but this is making it sound more interesting
billymg: mp_en_viaje: ty for the perspective on this. if it's not out of line to ask, have you left cr behind for good?

mp_en_viaje: and sure, a partnership is not off the table ; subj ofc to vetting your gal, you &c.
a111: Logged on 2014-12-10 00:51 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an article (or perhaps a thread here? but can't seem to find it...) about an archetypical u.s. expat. fellow keeps a pub somewhere in thailand, or cambodia, etc. the locals - drink for free. he fancies that if he begins to run out of dough, he can always start charging. but somehow in the back of his head he knows what will happen to his sorry arse if he were to do so.
mp_en_viaje: i didn't propose run a business, esp public facing.
mp_en_viaje: most real estate in ukrlands is owned by banks as it stands anyway, austrian etc.
mp_en_viaje: and there's exactly 0 likelihood kiev's ever gonna be anything other than a latvia.
