mircea_popescu: aaanyway. epic write-up.
mircea_popescu: mats i tell you guy almost makes me want to sign up.
mircea_popescu: "At the end of the field exercise, that holdover was walking up to groups of us, offering to sell us candy for $20 a package. We all knew to keep our distance from him – he was untrustworthy, he was in trouble, and he was only going to get you in trouble too if you associated with him. And yet, Chelsea Manning bought a package of M&Ms from him for $20. I remember that scene, because Manning was not quiet about it. She was p
mircea_popescu: ractically bragging out loud that she had contraband candy. At six weeks into basic training, it just wasn’t worth it, and yet that scene has stayed with me all these years, because for Manning, it somehow was worth it. Maybe by then, she thought she had nothing else to lose."
mircea_popescu: dude's not very perceptive. manning evidently comes from a broken home, which instilled the expectation that Mommy is somehow significantly more powerful than Daddy.
mircea_popescu: which is why he joined the army, too, trying to bait that absent father ; and which is WHY the candy thing. didn't want the fucking candy anymore than i do. just wanted to see if dog may be enticed to bark in the exact manner that'd get it shot ?
mircea_popescu: and this is what he was doing with the wikileaks, too. until the day he dies, pvt c manning will be looking to reassure himself that yes, totally, mommy rules!
asciilifeform: it read exactly like traditional description of 'destined to be lowered into pederasty' d00d in ru prison
mircea_popescu: letting him out of prison is likely the dumbest thing obama ever did. not in terms of impact, which it entirely lacks, but in terms of concentration.
mircea_popescu: it's a tiny m&m of stupid.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha.
mircea_popescu: notice that the feathering thing is actually curative, as proven by the fact that absent the men, rooster did it to himself.
mircea_popescu: found some nice gals in white lab coats and well...
asciilifeform: actually iirc manning was never snipped
asciilifeform: only hormonized
mircea_popescu: "In 2007, the U.S. Army was habitually failing to meet its monthly recruiting goals; the application standards relaxed and a great cross-section of humanity ended up reporting for duty that warm October at Fort Leonard Wood. In the company, there was a 17-year-old who had enlisted with a waiver, and there was: a 42-year-old mother of three who was terrified of needles; a new grandmother to a brand-new infant granddaughter; an
mircea_popescu: d a former coffee distributor in South America in his mid-thirties who everyone still called “Grandpa.” One recruit ironically named “Goesforth” went AWOL within 48 hours of arrival, deserted the military, and was never seen again.
mircea_popescu: One recruit in fourth platoon had been homeless before he joined, and another had blown his entire first university semester’s tuition on OxyContin before he dropped out and enlisted. One recruit was a Mexican citizen who was willing to go to Iraq and fight for the United States in exchange for expedited citizenship. Another was a female with dual German/American citizenship who was so short, the German Army wouldn’t take
mircea_popescu: her, so she joined up with the Americans instead. Charlie 82d had dads in their mid-thirties, and it had dads not yet old enough to buy beer. My platoon had a single mom who had been working as an exotic dancer before she raised her right hand and took the oath; another had married young, got divorced and wanted to get as far away from her Ex as possible; she figured the Middle East was probably far enough, but if he tried t
mircea_popescu: o find her there, he’d probably just get blown up by an IED – problem solved."
mircea_popescu: basically the us army is a ridiculous menagerie. AND the whole fucking point, from the pov of the obama DoS, is exactly that it not only stay that way, but never again become an actual army.
mircea_popescu: "What is not accurate is the false and felonious image of the U.S. military on which the defense of her conduct has been, at its root, predicated: that somehow everyone in her formative years in the military was practically part of a tribe of 6’2”, overly-aggressive Alpha males pumping testosterone out their pores who ganged up on the smallest in the group and tore her apart out of hyper-machismo intolerance; that War is
mircea_popescu: so brutish and nasty, that Warriors too must be. That is simply not accurate." << apparently you can get random dork to support the termiting, also, for as long as you call him a "chinese linguist" or w/e the fuck.
mircea_popescu: fancy that wonder, a new model army of old strippers and youthful gramas, dedicated to the global fight against the tribe of 6 foot 2 "overly" aggressive Alpha males pumping testosterone out their pores.
asciilifeform: hey it's how they abolished conscription. put folx from unemployment queue in uniform.
mircea_popescu: except its not folx.
mircea_popescu: irrespective of the considerations pof the case, what remais is that random "intelligence analyst" thinks army should be dedicated to the rooting out of manhood.
mircea_popescu: the way things shape up, this current nazism is actually a lot more insane than the original german version. holy shit, what, you want to kill ~men~ ?!
ben_vulpes: based on historical record alone it is very unlikely but i put the chances that mircea_popescu dramatically underestimates the scale and scope of insanity running amok in the states at ~5%
mircea_popescu: hey, i don't live there, so...
mircea_popescu: quite possibru.
danielpbarron: oh, from who can I get a copy of mp-wp ? my blog box seems to have crapped out once and for all. figure it's a good excuse to migrate to something better

ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: i'll root around for mine later today

mircea_popescu: o was it shinohai` ?
ben_vulpes: dunno that he ever formally undertook it
asciilifeform: '...trivial systemd local root exploit, that
asciilifeform: was silently fixed in the upstream git.. The analysis says that is a "possible DoS", but its a local root exploit...'
mircea_popescu: heh not the first time someone lies on exploit analysis
shinohai: danielpbarron: I have an archive i can get you later this evening, i moved this morning and setting up nw
ben_vulpes: eheh in other dependent hacks, dog wanted to destroy things the child was throwing, so i gave the child a lemon to throw around. dog will chase, but not retrieve the lemon.
