benkay: in derpy consulting companyville, a small and attention-draining project has been completed and discharged which is *awesome*, for both the money and the cognitive bandwidth. we've an agreement in principle with another client to take more of a technical project management role, handling more of the coordination of roadmap + code production and moving the product along while the ceo feller focuses on sales and other higher-level
benkay: concerns.
benkay: and another project is basically closed but we're still in the dance-around-and-grab-at-each-other's-nuts phase w/r/t actual working relationship and what has one
mircea_popescu: lo cool.
benkay: vision for next 2 years is to grab bigger and bigger slices of the pie, maybe using mobile as a wedge and demonstrating kickassery and then expanding scope to whatever can be had and paid for.
benkay: i'm starting to realize also that an engineering team that's blitting from one project to another is never going to be as effective as the same team focused on roadmap and cohesive set of business objectives.

assbot: Jeff Bezos PowerPoint prohibition | Philanthropy Daily
decimation: Ed Tufte is a little crazy but his classes are worth taking. His position is that you present your ideas in the form of an essay or paper. Then you talk about the salient points and field questions. The projector is for showing information dense pictures, like the baseball stats page from a newspaper

decimation: he writes about how powerpoint contributed to retardation at nasa which lead to the shuttle's destruction
mircea_popescu: the problem is exactly what he states : pp makes it easier for the presenter, harder for the audience. this is not a tradeoff you want
mircea_popescu: unless, of course, you're trying to make everyone dumber.
decimation: which is generally the goal of most gov't meetings, gov't education, etc
mircea_popescu: right. then it becomes fashionable and before you know it the dumb broads in your household are giving pps to each other. and you can't do shit about it, because they're not your slaves, they're your "equal partners"
mircea_popescu: very fucking far that'll go, i'm sure.
asciilifeform: except that removing pp will not cure retardation. just as removing maggots will not resurrect corpse.
mircea_popescu: in fact : traditional views on sexuality impose monogamy as a standard because that's the only way to hide just how dumb and inept a commune actually is : by keeping it real small.
mircea_popescu: try a family of a coupla dozen wives that are all "equal partners" and see.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it will, yes. it will resurect the not-yet-corpses and make the rest obvious.
Duffer1: mircea_popescu "..and that ETH trades on a reputable exchange" has "reputable" been defined?
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: Duffer1 basically, it has to actually work.
Duffer1: i see
mircea_popescu: obviously i'll be buying some once it comes out. if shit happens like on icbit , where your bids are simply ignored while it "sells" to lower bids... then it's not reputable.

mircea_popescu: decimation it's just... you know. pretty much everyone i know who's been mining in 2010 has actually lost the majority of bitcoin they ever mined. irrespective if they still mine or not.
mircea_popescu: and besides, artforz is likely a much larger holder than satoshi himself. IF he had any sense.

decimation: yeah I agree, I had mined in 2010 and lost much of it unfortunately

assbot: In the Balance : Hispanic Population's Share of Wealth Likely to Increase by 2025
decimation: The U.S.'s Hispanic population was about 50.5 million in 2010, representing 16.3 percent of the total population (Table 1).1 According to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances and its Financial Accounts of the United States, Hispanic families had about ... about 2.2 percent of total wealth ... In summary, we project the Hispanic share of total wealth to increase from 2.2 percent in 2010 to either 2.6 percent or 3.2
decimation: percent of the economy's total wealth by 2025
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as some jews are hispanic, im sure it will increase.
decimation: even their "model" predicts no movement, but the press release predictably says: http://www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-economy/wealth-share-of-hispanic-population-may-triple-by-2025/
assbot: Wealth Share of Hispanic Population May Triple by 2025 | St. Louis Fed On the Economy
mircea_popescu: this is such idiocy. rich people are rich people. they're not "hispanic", they're rich.
mircea_popescu: there's exactly zilch that the "share of wealtyh of the hispanic population" means.
mircea_popescu: this entire situation is reminiscent of someone trying to "enhance" abstinence-only sexed by reports about how "women's orgasms per capita set to increase this year"
mircea_popescu: people who're not fucking aren't going to be interested, unless, of course, they're retarded.
decimation: just as rich folk could give a tinker's damn what some poor mexican thinks about how things ought to be
assbot: Decadence Is Not Physical « Isegoria
decimation: "Decadence is a moral and spiritual disease, resulting from too long a period of wealth and power, producing cynicism, decline of religion, pessimism and frivolity. The citizens of such a nation will no longer make an effort to save themselves, because they are not convinced that anything in life is worth saving."
chetty: I wonder, does the poor Mexican give a tinkers damn either?
decimation: not really, because he thinks he is rich compared to his cousins back home
mircea_popescu: Daniel: "We believe that we can build a better future. We believe that we can enable all to participate in a revolution of collective ownership, something that will radically shift the nature of human society." wtf; are they socialists? <<< lulzy danielpbarron
danielpbarron: i know, right? i was cracking up reading it
mircea_popescu: decimation it only indirectly results from a too long period of wealth and power. i know, for i've been wealthy and powerful my entire life. the trick is to not buy into comfort. that's the direct causation : once people become comfortable and think "i'm too wealthy and powerful to be here fucking with a wrench inside this engine on the side of a road".
mircea_popescu: pretty soon it's "we're too cool for our children to be killed off like the worthless shitbags they are"
mircea_popescu: and from there on... anyone with a wrench can wrench a deal out of you.
decimation: for some of them, they could be making more money not fixing things and hiring a guy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usually this happens to folks born 'into' money
decimation: but that's a pretty restrcted set
mircea_popescu: decimation the problem is exactly there : a roman citizen is required to be part of the army, even if he could serve the republic "better" elsewhere.
mircea_popescu: the point is specifically to be able to serve everywhere, so to speak,
mircea_popescu: because the relative value of things can't really be fixed.
mircea_popescu: chetty likely not.
asciilifeform points out that this was the situation in ussr. virtually everyone was technically reserve corps.
mircea_popescu: decimation but you see the signs of decadence much closer to home : the moment people start shying away from calling someone a cunt in the street, because o noes, we're civilised now. that's it.
mircea_popescu: compare the father with the son in cat on a hot tin roof. that's it.
mircea_popescu: what, big daddy doesn't know what bum love is ? yes he does.
mircea_popescu: he may not be talking too much or too loud\ly about it because of that shithead ida, and her unwanted, unwelcome and damaging "love", but otherwise...
decimation: in other words each household needs to keep its own shit in order
decimation: ascii so the point is that the court can dodge questions of "what exactly are you charging me with?" by making a grand-jury circus?
asciilifeform: decimation: this is SOP in usa
asciilifeform: decimation: which is why, with the possible exception of folks who can cough up astoundingly large ransom, falling into the hands of u.s. 'justice' system should be thought of as equivalent to ending up in a gestapo dungeon.

mircea_popescu: the exact equivalent of jury nullification
mircea_popescu: grand jury enactication.
decimation: yeah that's scary
mircea_popescu: decimation well if it wants to be a republic, it gotta be a republic.
asciilifeform: this is why i simply don't get people who continue to think of their relationship with the u.s. court system in legal, rather than military, terms.
mircea_popescu: "Unless you have been through this, with much of it kept secret to protect means and methods of investigation and prosecution, prepare for an exciting first time on the actual hot seat, not on TV or online where hypnotic disinfo rules and seduces the unwary to believe tickling the comsec tiger's tail is fantasic rep building." <<< heh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you perceive the difference being, between military and legal ?
asciilifeform: when at war, your perspective on what happens if you fall into enemy hands isn't 'know the magic incantations that will force them to let me go'
mircea_popescu: no, it's the "know the magic incantation that'll make them rue the day they messed with me so close"
asciilifeform: the magic incantation in that case is adequate fire support
mircea_popescu: not strictly.
mircea_popescu: try capturing chtulhu. hey everyone! free insanity today, and all get seconds!
asciilifeform: when (imho undeservedly) famous social engineer k. mitnick was captured, the jailers actually believed he was a chtulhu
asciilifeform: he was, famously, denied the traditional 'last phone call'
asciilifeform: for fear of magic words!
decimation: he has magic hacking powers, give him the a. ames treatment!
asciilifeform: or, to quite relevant film, 'what good is a phone call mr. andersen, if you have no mouth...'
mircea_popescu: if only it were that easy.
mircea_popescu: i mean obviously, the king's ministers, no matter how cornered, will attempt to put forth the theory of how dominant their kingdom actually is.
thestringpuller: lol it is that easy
mircea_popescu: this has some trouble getting past things such as you know, that wikileaks guy.
mircea_popescu: if the kingdom actually worked like teh king's ministers propose it does, i wouldn't be looking into the yard of the king's minister's wife at the car of the guy the minister doesn't know she fucks
mircea_popescu: sort of thing.
jurov: so if ascii gets jailed for jaywalking, we shall expect another national guard gathering?
asciilifeform: my understanding is, the most one can hope for, if you aren't chtulhu, assanger, mircea_popescu - when the wagen comes, is to die with honour, without implicating other partizans
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or you could blog about it.
asciilifeform should practice blogging while hanging upside down with gag
mircea_popescu: well now... here's the thing... you can't be talking while you're not able to talk, right ?
mircea_popescu: and if you are able to talk, who's going to be able to control what you say, and to whom ?
jurov: hm.. i guess when patent trolls come for cardano, there are better ways than seppuku
mircea_popescu: perhaps you need your computers, perhaps you need access to a certain server, who's to know.
mircea_popescu: this isn't nearly as cut and dried a matter as the usg likes to pretend (forced mistake, it has no alternative than to so pretend).
mircea_popescu: exactly the same problems that limit the mob limit the government, and can be used identically.
decimation: for instance they haven't managed to jail this von nothaus guy yet

asciilifeform: yeah, but where's he now
asciilifeform: walking the globe without a gps collar ?
decimation: well according to this interview in miami on 1 feb 2014
decimation: I suspect he has no passport
asciilifeform: so there we go. he's in 'большая зона' (the big jail.)
asciilifeform: (soviet term, in contrast to the 'little jail' - a jail in the usual sense; the big one - ussr.)
decimation: "we are coming up to march 2014, so I've been waiting 3 years to be sentenced, this is most unusual. Usually in a federal case you are incarcerated within 60 days after being found guilty."
decimation: usg must be scared of something
asciilifeform: in cases like his, it is traditional for the inquisitor to make a series of offers to lighten punishment substantially in exchange for agent recruitment
asciilifeform: (aka turning stoolie)
asciilifeform: we can surmise that he refused one or more, but they aren't done yet
asciilifeform: so i don't see 'scared' - only 'patient.'
asciilifeform: if nothaus is cut loose, we should expect him to turn up eventually in the role of a karpeles or brock pierce.
decimation: well I tend to agree with your point about recruitment, but it's not clear to me what he is going to be recruited to do exactly.
decimation: an enterprising defense team would have him start another altcoin for the purpose of turning against it
asciilifeform: we'll know what it is once inquisitor makes up his mind, and nothaus surrenders
decimation: why didn't folks attempt to leave the "big jail" during ussr times?
asciilifeform: they certainly did.
decimation: seems like that would be the thing to do
asciilifeform: many of the same issues facing folks who want to leave usa.
asciilifeform: (a trip requires a destination)
decimation: I guess it's hard to escape with family intact
asciilifeform: back to the treatment of nothaus - this was SOP for dissident types, at least post-stalin. you land, not in a jail cell, but a comfortable 'hotel room', where no one hangs you upside down, no! - but well-dressed, educated fellows have little chats with you over good coffee - to make you 'see reason.'
thestringpuller: decimation: that's very depressing :(
asciilifeform: if you 'see reason' - you're a free man. get to keep doing what you were doing. except with a little microphone listening, or the like.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> we can surmise that he refused one or more, but they aren't done yet << something like that.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I guess it's hard to escape with family intact << people with families have no business escaping.
mircea_popescu: their job is to work the soil and make babies.
asciilifeform: this is why a man with a profession that puts him in range of escape was required to have family.
asciilifeform: e.g. diplomats, military attaches, competitive athletes
thestringpuller: what if you don't want to make babies?
decimation: yes, their fate is to stand and take whatever comes I suppose
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: then you don't get posted abroad.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller then eiher it's not a family, you're being forced to or you will be forced to.
asciilifeform: incidentally, pretty much none of the above were sent abroad with actual wives, children
asciilifeform: they'd get theatrical ones
decimation: spies, presumably
asciilifeform: as diplomat, your 'wife' might actually be someone whose only job is to shoot you in the head if you start to 'turn.'
thestringpuller: sounds like huxley's world would make that a moot issue (humans bred in tanks)
thestringpuller: it also seems being an orphan is more beneficial in that regard too...
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller well tbh, i dun see why i'd have wanted to leave huxley's world. just hang out with the boss guy down at the bar.
asciilifeform: note that the analogy is not exact. the american equivalent of a soviet job with travel privileges would be, say, the right to own significant foreign (or theoretically liquid enough to become foreign) assets
asciilifeform: as this enables escape

thestringpuller: Herzog is one kinda character...
thestringpuller: He makes some of the best documentaries though.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what, like bitcoin ? << ameri-zek could escape if he had 10^7 usd or 10^4 bitcoin, say. but he won't ever see either, 'like his own ears without a mirror.'
asciilifeform: now, if you're willing to live like a feral dog, it isn't even necessary to leave the country. i recall, a few years ago, an article about one fellow who lived in a dugout in a u.s. national park. for ~30 years. he was caught by pure chance.
asciilifeform: tourist noticed a puff of smoke coming from a tree stump.
asciilifeform: (it was his chimney. disguised partizan-style.)
asciilifeform: if tourist hadn't strayed miles from the road, if wind had been stronger - the dugout would be there still, with its inhabitant.
decimation: that's long enough to claim adverse possession in many states
asciilifeform: not on federal land
asciilifeform: and, in many (most?) states, adverse possession is virtually impossible to pull off (title holder must be aware of the squatter and do nothing for xx years)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 10k btc ? foreals ?
asciilifeform: see dugout man above
asciilifeform: he needed 0 btc
mircea_popescu: the point is to live like a feral dog AND leave the country.
asciilifeform: but paid with other things
mircea_popescu: you gotta break the circle of "is necessary"
mircea_popescu: that's what the dam is built out of. convenience.
mircea_popescu: inconvenience yourself and you'll be free, but otherwise, you're predictable, and in being predictable you'll be a tool.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: elaborate?
mircea_popescu: on which part ?
decimation: yeah that's what most of the "early retirement" folks advocate. if you can live on $20k per year you can retire now if you have any assets to speak of
asciilifeform: decimation: the 20k still have to come from somewhere.
asciilifeform: if they come from my being a stonemason in mexico city, as far as i can tell i'm then already in a jail
mircea_popescu: decimation most of humanity lives on less than ten bux a week.
mircea_popescu: that's... 500 a year

asciilifeform: now, is that life?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i tend to break things.
mircea_popescu: there's very little doubt in my mind that if i were in the sort of situation most folk over there enjoy, i'd simply be shooting people.
asciilifeform: i recently went to a zoo, where they had cheetahs. one cheetah was a little different from the others. every time i see him, he's clearly preoccupied with looking for a hole in the fence.
asciilifeform: if he were a russian 'zek', he'd have a red stripe in his id papers.
asciilifeform: 'побегушник'
mircea_popescu: which ironically makes the entire "terrorist" thing quite appropriate, except, i wouldn't shot them for the show (which is what terrorism implies, that you kill people for no reason than to impress other people). i'd do it because their continued existence is incompatible with mine.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did i ever tell you about the two pellicans ?
decimation: which is exactly the attitude that the us used to have back in the pioneer days
decimation: before they were won by the English...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my only lingering regret from my days in costa rica is that one day i've visited a bird reserve. a large geodome sorta thing with a lot of birds in it.
mircea_popescu: among which two pelicans. which had figured where the door was, and what a door is. and were angling together to perhaps scare a dumbass tourist and manage to get out.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why i didn't just take the birds across.
asciilifeform: are they any good - to eat?
mircea_popescu: i guess a lot of foreign military officers wondered why they've not simply shot hitler at any point in the 30s, just walk up to him and boom.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im sure they couldn't have survived in ther wild, but i dun see why that should matter.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i recall at least two who wrote just this
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im sure the reason is exactly like the discussion re the altcoin
mircea_popescu: by the time you realise you should have it's too late.
asciilifeform: naturally.
mircea_popescu: there's actually an oglaf on the topic, too
asciilifeform: lol, i recall this one.
mircea_popescu: guy shooting hitler would necessarily live in an alt-universe where shooting hitler's death is not justified by hitler being hitler, and so on.
mircea_popescu: this is a major reason to not punish murder, imo.
mircea_popescu: maybe the murderer had a point.
mircea_popescu: certainly murder of political figures is always justified on the face. they were, after all, political figures.
decimation: I suppose that's the point of jury nullification
mircea_popescu: yeah but it mixes the people in there. what'd the people know.
mircea_popescu: 1930s german jury'd have not nulified hitler murder.
decimation: well, in the village the people would know, not in the city
mircea_popescu: this is such nonsense.
mircea_popescu: vilage people are actualy a lot dumber than city people. they just have much fewer avenues to display their inanity.

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> thestringpuller, benkay, chetty: usa would send a tax bill to a Chukcha if he weren't behind russian rockets. la << actually, aren't they derping about various russian citizens sanctions and whatnot ?
kuzetsa: cazalla: so as per privmsg, I don't understand why you called me a faggot
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, that bitcoin channel seems to be dying lately, too quiet, dogecoin more fun
kuzetsa: benkay: what's a faminist?
kuzetsa: [18:01:35] <cazalla> no matter how many men you throw under the bus, being a feminist is not going to lead to them fucking you
kuzetsa: [18:01:59] <kuzetsa> what?
kuzetsa: [18:02:42] <kuzetsa> huh, noticed just now that I typoed on feminist... is "faminist" a word I'm just unfamiliar with?
kuzetsa: [18:03:14] <kuzetsa> is that misspelling a word and it means something? it really was just a typo, I didn't mean to confuse.
mircea_popescu: <DreadKnight> cazalla, why? xD she thinks she can do better writing crappy stuff and getting funded on patreon.com apparently << such idiocy.
cazalla: kuzetsa, i'm not sure what the problem is?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, was expecting you would say that
kuzetsa: cazalla: well I don't understand what you're saying about men fucking me (or not) because I throw them under a bus or whatever... or why you called me a faggot
cazalla: kuzetsa, i thought you were saying you're a feminist and that i use slut shaming language
cazalla: fwiw, i don't object to nikasaur dressing trashy
kuzetsa: your definition of "trashy", and how you used it sure did sound like slut shaming
cazalla: but it is trashy
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, most people only care about charisma and looks and that's why they fund her, not really interested in her writing; it's nice she does what she likes but that's different from what she's good at apparently
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, saying "such idiocy" to whatever I say without arguments doesn't bring much to the table of conversation
kuzetsa: cazalla: mostly I'm just confused about why feminism = faggot (that logical jump confuses me)
benkay: there's nothing wrong with being trashy
benkay: connotations are all in your head
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 17 @ 0.188 = 3.196 BTC [-]
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, you're probably offended because you're a blogger yourself, but since you started blogging apparently you flamed more popular bloggers, so even you agree that not everyone should be writing stuff publicly :P
benkay: excessive rouge, lipstick, heels, etc. it's a good look on the right chick.
DreadKnight: and tattoos
benkay: yeah sure - tattoos are great as well
kuzetsa: benkay: a lot of women chose to dress how they dress, wear their hair, makeup, tatoos, clothes, etc. for themselves, not for the benefit of others
cazalla: yeah, i like it on the right girl but i describe it as trashy, nfi why kuzetsa would take offense
benkay: it's clearly not for others.
benkay: doesn't mean we're not watching and watched ourselves.
benkay: i do a pile of sales. constantly. *i* dress for others.
kuzetsa nods
benkay: when I didn't, I didn't.
benkay: ripped jeans, mohawk, the works.
cazalla: kuzetsa, because imo feminists are faggots eg andreas derpopolous
kuzetsa: choices about outwardly expressing whatever self-image one has about ones self (and/or other reasons for dressing one way or another) just doesn't seem like a friendly thing to use as a basis for labeling someone as "trashy"
DreadKnight: internet is full of porn, girls who undress on webcam; dressing slutty = more attention; ( . ) ( . ) = $$$
benkay: look there's a hobo on the street
benkay: he's clearly not dressing for anyone
benkay: and he's also clearly trashy
benkay: ofc my definition of such is going to differ from someone else's
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i have nfi who this is. pics ?
benkay: but i'll not be told to not speak my opinion of stuff.
mircea_popescu: and in any case, i'm not offended.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> excessive rouge, lipstick, heels, etc. it's a good look on the right chick. << for sufficiently drunk guys :D
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I linked near the quoted line, anyway seems you're too distracted to follow the conversation or reply overall, while others are debating about such women
kuzetsa: I personally don't feel "trash" or "trashy" is a good way to refer to persons --- trash is refuse, waste, compost, scrap, things to be recycled, or a computer metaphor for marking something as "trash" to be staged for deletion (such as putting one's unwanted spam emails in the trash)
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa so how does the logical jump work, from that to "not a good way to refer" ?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, http://www.patreon.com/nikaharper so she got popular working for League of Legends, then she quit to write apparently
assbot: Support Nika Harper creating words, stories, tales, and the unknown
cazalla: kuzetsa, it's the right word because i'd fuck her and then throw her away, trash, not the sort of woman i'd bring home to meet my parents
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: it's dehumanizing to label someone as a term which is not inherently describing a state which is common to persons
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: to say that a person is "
benkay: kuzetsa: ever met a girl who gets off on being degraded?
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight just some random chick, i don't see anything special about her. why's she discussed in terms of hotness or wtf.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa of course it is. so ?
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: ...(oops, erroneously inserted a linebreak) "trash", or "trashy" is degrading to their personhood
mircea_popescu: no, it's not. it merely claims to be. which, like all claims...
mircea_popescu: saying someone's a scammer is similarly degrading to their personhood. that's no reason not to say it.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: to say that a person is trash is to liken that person to being a disposable, unwanted, low-value thing, not a person
mircea_popescu: the only criterion is whether she actually is trashy, not whether her being trashy'd ruin whatever for her.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, others find her special and hot, especially being nerdy gamer; I usually don't get why Megan Fox has many fans, but that's me
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight well megan fox got teh tits on a thin frame.
mircea_popescu: and also she acts well :D
mircea_popescu: !up sexy_saffron
sexy_saffron: hello!
kuzetsa: hello
mircea_popescu: hey there. we're in the middle of a trashy argument!
benkay: !up fats_cd03
fluffypony: who's seen Jodorowsky's Dune?
benkay: this argument is trash.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight anyway, the "idiocy" comment was re the patreon thing. the whole thing fundamentally doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: people would really like it to work nevertheless, so every few years there's a new implementation
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, for me she's just a tunned up bitch, just seen some of her roles earlier and she was playing the bitch role actually
mircea_popescu: which also fails to work.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i think i did
benkay: (my dog just sneezed in his sleep and narrowly avoided rolling off the couch)
benkay: (hilarity)
fluffypony: just started, will report back afterwards
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i'm not a blogger myself. i just happen to keep a blog.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, thought you meant my argument because you didn't said much, I agree about patreon not working unless you're popular, it's a wanna be kickstarter basically, but lacks a few important things
kuzetsa: sexy_saffron: yeah, "trash" conversation, in which my main objection is to degrading / defamatory / judgemental language being pointed at people due to clothing, hairstyle, personality, makeup, or whatever criterea is being used to target them in a dismissive manner :(
kuzetsa: I wasn't intending to have the conversation publicly, but the other party whom I was trying to ask what they meant decided the privmsg contents should be copied onto a pastebin and shared with the whole channel
mircea_popescu: people should be targeted in a dismissive manner. builds character.
sexy_saffron: I agree
sexy_saffron: honesty is cruel sometimes
cazalla: kuzetsa, no reason for that conversation to occur in PM to begin with
kuzetsa: there's a difference between constructive criticism, charcter building, harassment, bullying, and joking around
sexy_saffron: definitely
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa ilustrate ?
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: illustrate what?
mircea_popescu: seems to me one man's constructive criticism is another man's harassment and bullying.
DreadKnight: !up HeySteve
mircea_popescu: afaik bingoboingo's got a trial coming up on this very point
DreadKnight: HeySteve, it worked :D
fats_cd03: whats the point of pretending like we respect each other?
HeySteve: gribble is full of shit tonight
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa that difference. but make it absolute.
HeySteve: thx DreadKnight
fats_cd03: its not the case IRL.
sexy_saffron: there's a fine line between derision and harsh constructive criticism
kuzetsa: wow I really can't follow this channel right now
HeySteve: <+fluffypony> who's seen Jodorowsky's Dune? <- yeah that's a very interesting film. guy's a real character
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, so you poked that zoso guy on purpose to get in the spot light? marketing strategy?
kuzetsa: this topic is apparently one which a lot of people are wanting to comment on
fats_cd03: is there some kind of internet etiquette insisting on politeness? i didnt check that box on install.
mircea_popescu: sexy_saffron yeah but if it's not objectively drawn then might as well give up. people wil just claim hurtbutts to get out of things they don't want to hear.
sexy_saffron: I haven't seen that but I like the dune adaptations
sexy_saffron: oh ya, most people can't handle the truth
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i step on the heads of idiots. it's what i do. the only selection criteria is how lulzy they are and if im bored.
kuzetsa: FWIW, the privmsg was in-part because the channel was kinda intense and I was having trouble filtering through this many words per minute
HeySteve: kuzetsa, if you dress / act a certain way, you'll inevitably draw a reaction from others
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa it gets nuts doesn't it. and it has the harshest voice model of any chan on freenode, too.
mircea_popescu: no idea what we'll end up doing, because it won't let go im sure.
kuzetsa: HeySteve: the "had it coming" defense about agressing on somebody verbally or otherwise, to their face or otherwise isn't one I consider to be valid
mircea_popescu: on the grounds of what ?
sexy_saffron: I think the best philosophy is to just stay true to yourself and not care what other people think, as cliche as that sounds
HeySteve: kuzetsa, learning to evoke a positive reaction with your appearance / manner is just social intelligence
mircea_popescu: sexy_saffron got it.
kuzetsa: HeySteve: I'm a social idiot, quite arguably
mircea_popescu: are you also a girl ?
fluffypony: hah hah - HeySteve right at the beginning, and it's already classic - I wanted to do a movie that would give the people that took LSD at that time the hallucinations that you get with that drug, but without hallucinating. I did not want LSD to be taken, I wanted to fabricate the drug's effect."
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, he had a few arguments against you that could stand valid, but overall it felt like he was trying to protect his "#1 blogger by traffic" crown by trying to dis the new competition
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: old enough to be a grandmother, so no, not a girl
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight so good for him.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa so good for you.
HeySteve: lol yeah fluffypony, one artist apparently got tripped out just talking to Jodo, you'll see
mircea_popescu: giving new meaning to "being chtulhu"
kuzetsa: oooh, I like chtulhu (somewhat)
mircea_popescu: what if there existed a chick that'd get one high by having sex, provided it's bareback.
mircea_popescu: possibly varying effects by the hole, too.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, I think that poison ivy in batman might fit the bill
mircea_popescu: this should totally be a goddess. and yet... my memory fails me. is there such a goddess ?
DreadKnight: HeySteve, ha, I kept telling people that, especially as advice to avoid online insults or even rape, but a lot of people insist in "I can dress the way I want, nobody should care; the raper is always the guilty one!", so I'm like "ok, good luck with that mentality"
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight there's a difference between rappers and rapists.
assbot: Last 2 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/11DS5K5.txt )
mircea_popescu: sorry but it was just too good to pass on :D
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, ha, knowing you're female makes the whole "faggot" thing funnier :D
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah, thanks, typo
mircea_popescu: yea srsly. cazalla there you go, pming old ladies to call them faggots. wtf's wrong with you lmao
DreadKnight: HeySteve, s/raper/rapist xD
kuzetsa: O_O
cazalla: there's no women on the internet
mircea_popescu: you know that's a very homoerotic belief.
kuzetsa blushes
mircea_popescu: cazalla ever tried it with a dude ?
kuzetsa: wow, now I'm having yaoi-type thoughts about a few people
cazalla: mircea_popescu, no but someone did want to in high school
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa is that when underage boys rub foreskins or what was it ?
mircea_popescu: my azn cartoons variety speak is shit.
mircea_popescu: cazalla so why not try it out sometime then.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: no, I think the genital VS genitals rubbing thing with penises (foreskins or otherwise) is called a frottage
mircea_popescu: ;;ud yaoi
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Yaoi | Yaoi is a slang meaning 'boys love' or homosexuality that is used in the japanese language. Popular with fangirls who like their favorite anime guy...
HeySteve: kuzetsa not a sword fight?
cazalla: i don't understand why it is homoerotic though, my understanding it's meaning is that a woman does not have the power to influence online as she does irl
mircea_popescu: cazalla now that's nonsense.
kuzetsa: wow, that urban dictionary thing is pretty accurate
mircea_popescu: now lessee if i can get caught up on this monsterlog jeez/
kuzetsa: I've totally done the fangirl thing thinking of male characters romantically / physically involved with each other <I'll spare you the fanfic I may or may not have read or written>
sexy_saffron: I don't think gender has much to do with influence on the internet
sexy_saffron: on the internet, no one knows you're a dog
benkay: but here, we all sort of know each other fairly well.
cazalla: sexy_saffron, clearly you've never had a woman join your guild, demand officer status, demand items while using cybering to attain that from idiots who allowed her to destroy said guild with drama
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa hey, what do you do for a living ?
kuzetsa: good job, urban dictionary, that's totally what I meant by yaoi :)
DreadKnight: sexy_saffron, talk was mainly started by chicks popular on youtube mainly thanks to cleavage
sexy_saffron: ah, well there is that lol
mircea_popescu: cazalla no, actually, i had that lol. didn't really do much.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: retired, technically
sexy_saffron: idk, I just think people can be shitty regardless of gender
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa im looking for someone to cover the countless anime forums on the web, if you're looking for work.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, happened to me in EQ, guild leader's wife joins, she start cybering the teenage boys which undermines his authority, it all went to shit after that
mircea_popescu: sexy_saffron women can't be as shitty as men because they're inferior and all.
mircea_popescu: cazalla so she's a great troll. why hate the playa ?
kuzetsa: sexy_saffron: yeah, people being unpleasant (shitty, whatever) doesn't have a strong correlation to any particular gender, race, religion, age, nationality, etc.
mircea_popescu: if i were a wife upset over matrimonial neglect i'd do the exact same thing.
mircea_popescu: only perhaps better.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa age ? what, you kidding me ?
mircea_popescu: annyoing teenaged boys are a category.
kuzetsa: no, I'm not kidding about being retired
cazalla: kuzetsa, retired or on disability due to feminist issues such as gender dysmorphia, anxiety or other made up shit?
mircea_popescu: i meant the correlation with age. of course it correlates with gender and age, god help you with 16yo boyz.
mircea_popescu: lol this guy's got a scoring table all prepared.
kuzetsa: I still do a bit of consulting / contract work now and then though, as well as some speculation with bitcoin and such
fats_cd03: 'and such' being?
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight: anyway, 1600$+ a month just because; for writing; that's like 3 romanian full time jobs; I got 0 on there so far <<< you know 20k a year is basically unemployment benefits. it doesn't really register as a fortune on anyone's radar. people like asciilifeform make many times that and essentially count themselves as paupers.
kuzetsa: fats_cd03: generally, this time, specifically, I probably meant the sorts of things which are often used as a basis for stereotypes or discrimination
kuzetsa: I could have instead said "or whatever" but "and such" seemed like a fun word choice this time
kuzetsa loads that substitition into the spintex content generation engine
fats_cd03: so you're saying you buy and hold bitcoin, and thats it

benkay: those 2012 ratings
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, she might be in USA, so it's not too much there indeed
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i think you're approaching this from the wrong angle.
mircea_popescu: living wages are living wages no matter how you turn it.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: yes, I've been editing wikipedia for nearly a decade.
mircea_popescu: how can you stand it ?
kuzetsa: in small doses, mostly
mircea_popescu: i can see that.
kuzetsa: oh, you looking at my main WP page under the kuzetsa handle?
mircea_popescu: you stil playing eve ?
kuzetsa: eve? no, not for a few months
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, living wages depend on geographical location overall and they vary a lot though
mircea_popescu: there's a large-ish bitcoin guild, smickles' in charge these days.
kuzetsa: no eve lately ever since that incident with me being a social idiot and I pissed off a pirate corp who all put large bounties on me
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight notrly.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa how's being a social idiot manifest ?
mircea_popescu: sexy_saffron so how goes these days ?
sexy_saffron: days go well!
sexy_saffron: lots of shooting
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, if you're referring they're relative proportion to regular job, that's kinda "notrly" indeed, but when you consider internet crowd funding, that's a different story
mircea_popescu: notrly. :)
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight: cazalla, considered doing something like that with a chick I know that looks like the Dark Queen from Battletoads; got equipment and such << she doing nudes ?
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: mostly, in my case, when I say "social idiot" I just mean I've had a low success rate for knowing what sort expecations are "standard" within cultures, groups, circles, etc. (whatever you call it -- social situations)
DreadKnight: 100$ in USA is not equal to 100$ in Thaiwan
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa you survived here, inexplicably.
mircea_popescu: !up zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight yeah it is. it'
mircea_popescu: s equal to nothing, everywhere.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, she is but not for internet stuff; she's hot :3
assbot: I’ll pay for your tits pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
DreadKnight: in USA you can eat a day, in Thaiwian you can eat a week from 100$; just an example
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, think I had it opened, was waiting for credit
mircea_popescu: i eat once, everywhere. here, romania, new york
assbot: x64_dbg
mircea_popescu: a hundred buck's a decent meal.
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: that spelling is confusing me... did you mean thailand or taiwan?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, you, but there was also internet crowd funding involved in the equation when raising money
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, thailand
HeySteve: oh man that reminds me, there was a girl who wanted to do the tits for bits thing
kuzetsa: just don't wear the bitcoin logo on stuff, they might confuse it for baht, the local thai currency :)
HeySteve: if it's still going I should let her know
DreadKnight: so if you're in thailand and raise 100$ online, that's way better compared to living in USA and raising 100$ online from crowd funding
mircea_popescu: HeySteve it is.
DreadKnight: HeySteve, bumped into a website where chicks get naked for btc a while ago
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight $100 is not worth the hassle anyway. no matter where you live.
HeySteve: cool where do I see the current entrants, mircea_popescu?
HeySteve: DreadKnight, girls gone bitcoin maybe?
mircea_popescu: HeySteve you mean the people who already got paid ? scroll down on the article.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, it was just an example
DreadKnight: HeySteve, might be
mircea_popescu: i dun think it was. i think it's representative. you're thinking in teh wrong terms.

DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yes, 100$ won't personally get me far, but it would get me further than someone located in USA
sexy_saffron: I really like how my picture turned out :)
kuzetsa: O_O
cazalla: mircea_popescu, looks or personality or both? i bet she's a dead fish in bed

mircea_popescu: cazalla she looks meh and her personality is obnoxious. she speaks like she's chewing nibblets and her movements are atrocious. needs actor schooling.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, agree, she's average, not worst choice but not best choice
cazalla: mircea_popescu, they all look the same to me
mircea_popescu: that's because you're a racist homoerotic aussie.
cazalla: azns, that is
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa what, did i just tinker with his personhood ?

benkay: dude you gotta fix your keytuation
HeySteve: thx benkay
fluffypony: someone else was struggling with it the other day
mircea_popescu: benkay: just to throw a spanner into the works, mircea_popescu, i imagine the d-series do not pay out in the event that the companies use XCP or some such to list << what's that again ?
cazalla: i don't think you can be gay and racist, at least not in australia
HeySteve: gribble says my OTP is incorrect but it works with altgribble. dunno what's up
fluffypony: The20Year I think
fluffypony: nanotube: is gribble's GPG auth broken?
fluffypony: two people reporting the same error is weird

mircea_popescu: benkay it also doesn't pay if the "companies" use a myspace page to "list"
fluffypony: HeySteve: are you seeing the same error as the20year was?
kuzetsa: benkay: 'cause I know well enough to know that a lot of yaoi hentai manga comics and anime are actually degrading to the idea of gay male-bodied persons being in stable, healthy relationships, and I'm a bit ashamed of my objectification-type thinking of of strangers in a pervy way which they might take offense to if they knew I was thinking that about them
HeySteve: yes fluffypony, exactly
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa you care too much. people are here for you to objectify. have fun.
fluffypony: HeySteve: ping nanotube about it, you're not the first person
HeySteve: male-bodied persons? you mean men?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony likely they were using a stale otp
HeySteve: will do, fluffypony
mircea_popescu: ie, not ;;eauth first
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, I used ;;eauth as usual
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I walked through what the20year was doing, his auth flow seemed correct
kuzetsa: oh, is gribble having trouble with eauth / bcauth?
mircea_popescu: HeySteve she doesn't say men because saying men would imply they have to be fucking men, and she doesn't want to nudge a bunch of pussies towards maturity.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony weird.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu and kuzetsa, I don't like seeing awkward language to serve political purposes, it's too 1984

mircea_popescu: so on my box of panthers : "el tabaco te domina. dejalo".
mircea_popescu: if only all the subbie men looking for dommes knew this.
kuzetsa: HeySteve: I prefer to err on the side of sterile and verbose where being "less wordy" might result in ambiguity or leave room for interpretation
mircea_popescu: terseness is a verbosity all of its own.
kuzetsa: perhaps, though I've found that the formal terms for some of the ideas I often wish to express, are best done so in complete, gramatically correct sentences
jurov: "male-bodied persons" left me with quite a room for interpretation xD
HeySteve: I agree, meaning is like the sculpture within the marble, you have to chip away all the extraneous stuff
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa ironically, that notion got expressed in broken english.
kuzetsa: jurov: some people don't self-identify as "men" despite having the legal (and presumably, medical) status of a male person... I've had a lot of friends who don't have a strong sense of gender in their self-identification.
mircea_popescu: and you don't perceive this as a character flaw ?

benkay: what a dainty little lock
mircea_popescu: benkay was merely a reference to yesterday's quantity / quality thing.
jurov: kuzetsa so you ask everyone about their self-identification first? what if they claim not to be persons at all?
jurov: you call them "human-shaped entity"?
benkay: my least favorite part of american english is the part where nouns aren't gendered.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck cares how people self idnetify ? all sorts of idiots self-identify as ceos of bitcoin entreprises, bitcoin investors, parts of the bitcoin community and so on and so forth ad nauseam. nobody worth two bits credits any of that self-identification crap.
mircea_popescu: benkay you should try russian. takes five days to figure out the genders of everything what goes in a entence.
kuzetsa: jurov: I've met people who self-identify some form of otherkin, and they legally still count as persons, despite a non-human self-identification... they also often accept the term "person" as being equally valid for non-human persons :P
benkay: mircea_popescu: gotta get my spanish more well-dialed first.
kuzetsa: jurov: I don't understand your point, though suspect you might be attempting a straw-man arguemnt or somesuch, or perhaps poking fun at my use of the word "person"
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa no, he's just gay and spunky.

jurov: i mean, what do you do if you feel the word "person" to be loaded and demeaning
DreadKnight: let the girl like spunk.
mircea_popescu: it's nourishing!

mircea_popescu: f.b lists, the f section thereof being worth 30 btc.

DreadKnight: means attracted by intelligence basically
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, I was quoting you :D
benkay: so uh for the retards in the room what precisely are your inclinations, kuzetsa ?
benkay: panromantic demisexual
kuzetsa: benkay: uhhh
benkay: demi - not really into sex?
benkay: panromantic - lover of all?
kuzetsa: as far as romantic relationships are concerned, physicallity is something I neither object to nor expect
kuzetsa: or is it spelled physicality?
DreadKnight: I get the idea, also googled a bit
kuzetsa: benkay: yeah, all -- in the sense of there not being any particular body type or sexual or gender identity I find to be a dealbreaker
kuzetsa: "it's all good"
DreadKnight: would be great if less people were all about sex; maybe would see less stupid people with lots of kids as well
DreadKnight: frigging humanity is a cancer
cazalla: DreadKnight, you can always neck yourself
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: cancer eh?
benkay: kuzetsa: typically people focus more on the kinds of folks they want around rather than the kinds of folks they find objectionable
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: isn't the cancer astrological sign the one that looks like a 69?
DreadKnight: cazalla, so far I don't have kids, so that basically lowers population by itself if doing the math
cazalla: DreadKnight, but if you're so smart, surely makes sense to have kids then
benkay: cazalla: that raises an interesting question. why'd you choose to have kids?
cazalla: benkay, because i thought i was going to die
cazalla: i still am, perhaps just not as soon
DreadKnight: cazalla, maybe eventually, but it's not a must, need other things first
benkay: what was the timeframe when you made the call?
cazalla: benkay, as it turns out, i had pretty bad sinus infection
DreadKnight: cazalla, anyway, plenty of kids made and abandoned, it would be smarter to adopt one then make a new one just because imo
benkay: instead of what, cancer?
benkay: DreadKnight: gotta start from a known-good state.
cazalla: yeah plus list of other shit i googled, doctor didn't really help much
cazalla: benkay, obviously wasn't the sole reason but thinking i was going to die sooner than later, seemed like a good idea to have a kid
benkay: DreadKnight: this is the kind of advice that ruins people's lives: "go adopt a rescue animal for your first dog! you'll have no idea what it's suffered through or how trainable it is! think of the poor dogs!"
benkay: mnope nope nope nope nope
benkay: if you've never trained a dog, set both of yourselves up for success.
cazalla: DreadKnight, why would you adopt a kid, spend money on it when it's not even yours?
benkay: 'cause you're a hairshirt ecofreak.
cazalla: a million other kids can starve for all i care
DreadKnight: benkay, personally I think pets will pretty much disappear in favor of robots soon, but that's just me; anyway, jumping from humans to pets is quite a leap
benkay: wat
benkay: son you're crazy
DreadKnight: cazalla, we're all the same matter and it's not like I don't have physical weaknesses, same applies for my potential mate
benkay: do you have a pet, children, or any sort of long term human companion, DreadKnight ?
cazalla: DreadKnight, why not just have a friend come over and fuck your wife and raise that baby? i don't see the difference in that and adopting tbh
DreadKnight: benkay, said before I don't have children; had a few pets when I was younger; avoiding human companion atm
benkay: k you're disqualified from opining on relationships until you address all the above
DreadKnight: cazalla, adopting is when you take something already made that most likely has a shitty future; friend coming to fuck your wise is still making something brand new ;)
DreadKnight: benkay, your disqualification is invalid to me
DreadKnight: it's not like everybody needs to make a kid
DreadKnight: just to spread along some genes
cazalla: doesn't the urge to fuck come from that though
DreadKnight: I said I'm sapiosexual
DreadKnight: I'm not all about sex
cazalla: people who say that probably have small dicks
benkay: lol meaning you disqualify yourself from finding mates because they're stupid so you don't actually have to try to get laid
DreadKnight: cazalla, I'm doing really well in that field actually
DreadKnight: benkay, I'm not disqualifying myself, I like artsy chicks usually and single ones are pretty rare around
cazalla: why are you attracted to smart women DreadKnight? my wife is dumb as rock and that's how i like it
DreadKnight: why were you attracted to your wife? good looks? character/charisma? supportive?
benkay: cazalla needs to feel superior
DreadKnight: seems so
cazalla: not i'm just being honest
cazalla: no*
cazalla: DreadKnight, because she's loving, friendly, well natured, modest, prefers to do her craftwork, lampworking etc in her spare time instead of going out getting drunk
cazalla: plus that big ass
mircea_popescu: <DreadKnight> they seem to have knee protection, so probably walked in 4 limbs for quite a bit << yeah bursitis is no fun
DreadKnight: I'm attracted to smart women because they feel less like robots/animals, in the sense they're not all about sex / shopping / make-up; and if they even have an artistic side, like drawing, then even better :3
mircea_popescu: <benkay> panromantic demisexual << spending a lot of time daydreaming ?
mircea_popescu: <kuzetsa> "it's all good" << traditionally this isn't called anything but "desperate" you know.
DreadKnight: cazalla, sounds pretty nice overall; I prefer tities a bit more though
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> benkay, because i thought i was going to die << so what, something like "eh fuck the world, im dieing anyway" ?
cazalla: DreadKnight, well you should see these ones, full of milk, doubled in size :)
DreadKnight: cazalla, the thing is that around here in this city, there's a really nasty stereotype of girls, "pitzipoanca", basically a club barbie doll that's so not my type
cazalla: mircea_popescu, well yeah, if i'm honest that was part of it
mircea_popescu: <benkay> son you're crazy <<< wasn't that mocsny fellow derping the same derpage in the 90s ? o, soon sex robots!!1
DreadKnight: cazalla, pitzipoanca is usually smoking, has a lot of dresses, make-up, talks all the time on expensive latest iphone, goes clubbing all the time, listens only to music like house or manele (gypsy crap)
cazalla: DreadKnight, i don't like that either
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight the valley girl is not as romanian as you think.
nanotube: fluffypony: the20year's problem was his browser was caching the old encrypted otp. heysteve's is probably same?
mircea_popescu: nanotube likely yes.
DreadKnight: cazalla, my mayor is a drug addict with classical cars and there are a ton of "posh" clubs around, so I'm not quite in the place I should probably be
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah, noticed the pattern in other areas as well
mircea_popescu: benkay: DreadKnight: gotta start from a known-good state. << a well chosen known-bad state works even better.
benkay: if you're just learning how to do the thing?
mircea_popescu: tbh, you shouldn't be learning by doing. but hey.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: people who say that probably have small dicks << zing, srsly.
mircea_popescu: artsy chicks are hard to get by now ?! what world is this!
benkay: mircea_popescu: seems that training slaves is one of those things you can only learn by doing
mircea_popescu: try and find some twentysomething that ISNT belabouring under the delusion that she can "create" art.
DreadKnight: quite a bit of people seen me naked and they said I'm doing really good length wise; and I was really cold at that time (shrinkage)
benkay: <mircea_popescu> try and find some twentysomething that ISNT belabouring under the delusion that she can "create" art. // srsly
cazalla: DreadKnight, exception that proves the rule perhaps
benkay: <DreadKnight> quite a bit of people seen me naked and they said I'm doing really good length wise; and I was really cold at that time (shrinkage)
benkay: // but nothing to compare on your own?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, compared to other types, artsy chicks are fewer, so more difficulty in getting one
benkay: DreadKnight: that's a geography problem
cazalla: DreadKnight, you see artsy as smart, i see it as dumb, we probably like the same women
DreadKnight: so a girl who makes 3d characters is dumb, while one that only smokes and drinks is better? xD
benkay: til that dumb has nothing to do with intelligence in aus
cazalla: DreadKnight, i'm sure i read something before that people who drink excessively are often smart

kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: I don't agree to that joke about "desperate", particularly when demisexual persons are considered part of the asexual spectrum, and in my case, I don't particularly have a strong & compelling sex drive a lot of the time
asciilifeform: zoo of the future << zoolag.
asciilifeform: !s zoolag
mircea_popescu: spectrum eh ?
benkay: sex drive lol
kuzetsa: yes, human asexuality isn't a black & white condition, there are gradiations and different forms it can take (like for instance, demisexual)
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i don't think people who refrain from drinking actually fuck, my missus for example
benkay: the person who drives the relationship makes sex happen, not the other way around.
benkay: ever seen two people who both like to be told what to do in bed lie there hoping the other will make a move?

mircea_popescu: "Kyriarchy ("rule by a lord") is a social system or set of connecting social systems built around domination, oppression, and submission. " << yeah. basically, they now have a word to describe how the world both is and is supposed to be.

kuzetsa: libertarians piss me the fuck off too, actually -_-
benkay: they've come full circle to making sense i guess

mircea_popescu: whai ? they just protest teh kyriarchy
kuzetsa: right libertarianism, specifically
asciilifeform: just wait till we plug the kyristors in.
kuzetsa: ... considering that left libertarianism isn't particularly incompatible with democratic socialism
mircea_popescu: "democratic socialism" is incompatible with reality.
DreadKnight: that imgur is what I had in mind as well overall
cazalla: or a really subtle troll

kuzetsa: what's a b-a?
mircea_popescu: this place.
kuzetsa: ok, then what's a libertard?
mircea_popescu: someone who mistakenly believes that human life can have meaning outside of an opressive structure.
kuzetsa: specifically, is it a pejorative term (I assume) aimed at a particular political affiliation?
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: oh, no, I don't think humans are AT ALL MEANINGFUL IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE EVER
mircea_popescu: generally, people who identify as liberals, progressives, social-something or the other etc.
kuzetsa: the universe would still exist if humanity was wiped out
mircea_popescu: that has nothing to do.
kuzetsa: this planet is nothing special either
mircea_popescu: this isn't an ontological discussion.
DreadKnight: it's political
kuzetsa: huh
mircea_popescu: basically, anyone who's to the left of, being in favour of the release of serbs in medieval germany/russia could count as a libertard, depending how the conversation turns.
kuzetsa: so to clarify, are you referring to things vaguely on the side of "social left" = libertard?
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, do you think that the opinion of all people matter? (something to step in the right direction)
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: no, most people don't matter
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa and most of contemporary "right".
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, but why?
mircea_popescu: <kuzetsa> DreadKnight: no, most people don't matter << isn't that opressive ?!
kuzetsa: people don't matter, and their opinions tend to be at least twice as stupid
DreadKnight: why? :P
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: as mircea_popescu said, this isn't an ontological discussion (and then you chimed in to qualify: it's political)
DreadKnight: you were almost talking about aliens
DreadKnight: mircea brought you back to earth
kuzetsa: nah, more along the lines of the heat death of the universe (at which point, politics are no longer relevant)
mircea_popescu: of course they are.
mircea_popescu: what isn't relevant is said death.
kuzetsa: heat death of the universe resets everything to a state of entropy, including politics
asciilifeform: http://kyristor.com << dumped my ancient derpage in there for archaeologists to derp on.
assbot: kyristor
mircea_popescu: one of the telling symptoms of the libertard is that he'll replace his person as is with some sort of ilimited derivative of god, and pretend to concern himself with "the termic death of the universe".
DreadKnight: universe will likely reset itself, all supposedly immortal beings within it's bounds will get poked as well with it
mircea_popescu: this is not a consideration open to you, the demiamorous pansexual w/e the hell.
kuzetsa shrugs
kuzetsa: aliens wouldn't be as tedious as human-type people are... socializing is hard :(
DreadKnight: do you know any aliens?
kuzetsa: (this is that "social idiot" thing I mentioned)
mircea_popescu: right, the dollies wouldn't be as hard as the classmates, if the dollies were classmates.
mircea_popescu: except, they are not.
mircea_popescu: this oppressive point of reality must be digested.
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: none, no, they just seem plausibly less tedious (though not neccessarily friendly to be around) than figuring out how people work
DreadKnight: Kushed, just because they're from a different place doesn't mean they're not affected by polarity / gravity and yin&yang as well
mircea_popescu: poor Kushed
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, ^
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: my premise in thinking it would plausibly be less tedious isn't that they would be "better" but that it would be less "same old shit"
DreadKnight: anyway, you're kinda dodging the libertard subject thingy, so moving on I guess...
kuzetsa: I don't know what libertard means, so yeah
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, same colors in their world as well, unless they get to see more of them or maybe less

mthreat: isn't economics a social science?
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: mostly I'm just already jaded and given up on any sort of quota for how much offensive shit I'm going to be bothered by at any given time... it sometimes takes a bit of effort to "give up and just go with it"

kuzetsa: ah found it --- http://youtu.be/pSat_gLDXPc (it's apparently called "plague, inc.")
assbot: Plague Inc: Evolved Official Launch Trailer - YouTube
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, did you went to college yourself? it's a bit of a trend now apparently for people in IT set on becoming rich
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, meant google image search
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, guess it's the movie you mentioned
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: movie?
kuzetsa: what movie?
kuzetsa: [23:23:25] <+kuzetsa> I saw a game I've been meaning to try out which simulates biological attacks on the planet (earth, or some other... don't recall) or something
kuzetsa: "plague inc." is a game, not a movie
DreadKnight: yeah yeah
DreadKnight: seems interesting
kuzetsa: that's a trailer for the PC / console version, it was originally a smartphone/tablet app
DreadKnight: most smartphone/tablet games are jokes
kuzetsa: I got a lot of fun out of fruit ninja and angry birds before I was sick of them
DreadKnight: free-to-play applied horribly mostly, other times people trying to make a quick buck with minimum amount of work
