pete_dushenski: unless you're throwing them at infidels
pete_dushenski: shinohai: just like chris rock said of women in his seminal 1999 stand-up 'bigger and blacker' : 'men want three things : food, fucking, and silence. y'know what women want ? everything!' jooz being feminine and matriarchal means they're forever unsatisfied with 'enough' regardless of gender.
pete_dushenski: and then it allllll comes full circle
shinohai: So what does the Jew say "I want a get and 99% of all you own?"
trinque: it's kinda interesting... the muslim guy says "I can't have a woman, so I'll kill everyone for god" and the christian says "I can't have a woman; god please kill me"
pete_dushenski: dunno wat the hell they're teaching kids in school these days but is sure as hell isn't anything of practical import.
pete_dushenski: shinohai: heh. 'thief foiled by manual trans' is actually a pretty common headline these days. has been for ~decade.
shinohai: In the US, I'd wager most dumb theives couldn't work the paddle shifters anyway
shinohai: Not like you can just go pawn these sort of things for heroin though
pete_dushenski: shinohai: $200k is what proper tomes ~should~ cost. keeps the riffraff from getting their cheeto fingers on the good word.
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
jhvh1: shinohai: [KJV] Genesis 3:6 :: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
shinohai: Women tempt, it's what they do danielpbarron
danielpbarron: and re: "dubiously faithed woman" ; yes that's actually what I prayed for: that she be won over to salvation or that we never get together, so that I would not be tempted to lose faith
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, i wouldn't call bitcoin or the republic thereof your core beliefs. I'd say it'd be your stance on women and the poor.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what is it, "now that the gays can has marriage time for furies to push into mainstream", because who could have predicted and they've got a better shot than the child fuckers, who'll have to wait their turn ?
ben_vulpes: even i know about the tingler
diana_coman: fwiw to me daniel's posts on this + the thoughts expressed here on the necessity of shared "core beliefs" to qualify for friendship etc sound as an elaborate form of "I'm on my own, it's terribly lonely and it hurts"
mircea_popescu: in the same vein i don't think i ever discussed the republic so far, a testament to how it's not a household item and so nobody knows to ask. i don't think i much care about anything else, and still i can't bring myself to give a shit about what anyone thinks of these, because why would i ?
a111: Logged on 2016-10-26 19:49 danielpbarron: this definition can work for others: substitute Bible for whatever your core belief is
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, i dun think http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-26#1559249 works for me. i dun volunteer bitcoin discussions socially. ironically i'm apparently famous by now and people bring it up a lot, so i tend to answer whatever questions they got, but that's the length of it.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron oh i c. so by now "i ask god to please kill me" reads more like "thanks god for ridding me of this dubiously faithed woman and her lures" ?
danielpbarron: eh i was feeling pretty low at the time
danielpbarron: this definition can work for others: substitute Bible for whatever your core belief is
mircea_popescu: well, if the point is selection, then all this is working as intended, no ? you should be thrilled with the tool.
danielpbarron: and this is a very easy way to sort people that I meet. most people cannot stand to hear about it at all; a few can stand it, but they are not sincere
danielpbarron: to me, a friend is someone who sincerely believes the Bible, or at the very least is sincerely interested in it
mircea_popescu: if your prime mover fails to put the whole world in motion there's something seriously amiss.
mircea_popescu: well yes but isn't the entire rational point of belief that you isolate circularity there and therefore need no more of it anywhere else ?
danielpbarron: my belief in the Bible is circular
danielpbarron: i know before the hurt whether it would hurt or not
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron so you can only know after the fact ?
mircea_popescu: most animals that have the bone tend to meet the females rarely and only in estrus.
mircea_popescu: trinque the theory is complicated, mostly because it's a host of various characteristics. probably the most important being hidden ovulation in females, which then drove a mating style similar to that of pigeons (follow her around, fuck her often), which then probably made the bone too expensive.
mircea_popescu: how do you distinguish in the ideal ?
mircea_popescu: hence the expression "what do i care, i'm not married to it."
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron that's not very practical then is it ? having a multitude of varied, various and mutually-irreducible friends is the cornerstone of anchored sanity, i always thought.
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-26#1559191 << not just muslims; most people on earth. those who believe like I do are the smallest minority
mircea_popescu: imagine that wonder, uterus extension fuckspace. but this is somehow a recurrent theme.
mircea_popescu: there's this big tradition of blue writing fantasy anatomy however. here's a piece of lulz of entirely similar composition : https://archive.is/vC1mF#selection-627.0-667.50
PeterL: the "not a word" could also be "nobody around to hear it, therefore no words uttered"
mircea_popescu: what with the quadriplegics and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: hard to tell. i thought they mostly involved the same bad fanfic writers who do all the other shit for playboy's "mail from readers" section
mircea_popescu: trinque well sure, and some bugs actually have piercers for the exact purpose. which is how bed tick colonies fail in vitro. but how weird are we gonna take it you know.
mircea_popescu: phf the work to impale (most of which goes to fracturing the basin to displace the hips from inside) is historically >2 <4hp.
mircea_popescu: by all means, next time you end up with a lot of feminists have the horses fuck 'em to death see how many pelvic floor splits you can count
phf: i guess the whole "impaled by a horse" can just be an apocryphal story
trinque: in the human case, it makes me wonder if this feature was removed by evolving standing upright
trinque: hm, apparently other primates have a baculum, humans (and horses) do not.
mircea_popescu: donkey is about as heavy as a man. and yes they can apply weight, but they apply weight to what's essentially soft tissue.
trinque: man, that dick bending shit is the worst.
mircea_popescu: phf donkey is somewhat bigger, but not that much stronger. the issue is stretching her out.
mircea_popescu: (yes, there is such a thing as a penis fracture. it occasionally happens when a (short) woman cowgirls her husband after a night of drinking)
phf: why yours though? the poem is talking about a donkey
mircea_popescu: i suppose they don't show this in general use schematics etc, but the peritoneal cavity is protected in females by strong conjunctive tissue reinforced by a strong muscle that uses the pubis for leverage. you've about the same chances to break into her guts as you have to break a dude's forearm through his bicep.
mircea_popescu: you have a better chance poking a glory hole through the wall than hurting the woman by impaling her with your penis.
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] Leviticus 20:16 :: And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] Leviticus 20:15 :: And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
jurov: actually, what does danielpbarron say about man-beast marriages? iirc there's something about a lion and lamb
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> danielpbarron wait, so i shouldn't be friends with muslim chicks ? << well you don't believe the Bible, so be friends with who you like i guess
mircea_popescu: these schmucks lol, they don't even have a cool they're already selling it out. wtf is this lmao.
mircea_popescu: so basically this is taco bell doing "gonzo" advertising and "being out there".
mircea_popescu: was this one of the original "i'm a woman in tech with no tech skills hear me roar" crowd ?
mircea_popescu: kickstarter is by now evolving into its own alt-world. very reminiscent of how myspace went, this. "general purpose" UGC shitmarket turns into very peculiar weird. other than kickstarter being all about "my weird tabletop game" instead of "my shitty garage band", the differences elude me
mircea_popescu: what the fuck..
mircea_popescu: pretty much the only actually good us plane left.
mircea_popescu: mats o wow, they turned about on that stupid idea ? incredible.
mircea_popescu: most middle eastern men will spend their entire lives without ever interacting socially with women.
mircea_popescu: say what you will of the whole "why teach women not to be raped, teach men not to rape" thing, but there's a kernel in there. freely intermixing the genders has its costs, and common practice making one unaware doesn't actually make them go away. just like noise pollution is still pollution whether consciously audible or not.
ben_vulpes: very egalitarian, these coalition forces
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nono /bombing/ the women's section
mircea_popescu: and in other news, /me just bought, or rather paid for, a bunch of hot dresses. once home it was discovered the shop's logo actually includes a pair of tits.

mats: additionally, usg continues to support the uae's meddling in yemen, with warships defending a blockade despite an ongoing humanitarian crisis https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2015/jun/08/humanitarian-crisis-in-yemen-voices-from-the-conflict

jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] 1 Corinthians 7:14 :: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] 1 Corinthians 7:13 :: And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] 1 Corinthians 7:12 :: But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> danielpbarron suppose the woman believes and the man doesn't, and they're married. << she should both submit to him and also keep the faith
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> check it out, the trishop has meanwhile set aside apostasy as an exclusion criteria for nuptials. << key word is *friend* -- the point being, if man and woman don't both believe then they shouldn't even be friends, let alone get married
pete_dushenski: shinohai: shillary ~thinks~ she has friends because she i) has sm (bot) followers, just like bahamas, and ii) isn't up on her republican reading and is therefore unfamiliar with danielpbarron's seminal definition of friendship : http://danielpbarron.com/2016/blessed-are-the-poor-in-spirit/#fn2-932
pete_dushenski: not that the loss of '5 easy ways to bulletproof your credit cards against identity theft' is so devastating to the civilised world...
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: there was a thread
mircea_popescu: i don't see a problem either way, really. republican senate discusses and teh lord implementer decides.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so that there's no repeat of the bickening, is 'in principle bash could work like x' the new way forward ? because i don't at all mind moderating bashes. in fact, i kinda like it. i'm also not entirely persuaded that every last bash contender is worthy of publication, but i grant that it's not ultimately my call. either way, i'm honoured to have contravex serve as host in whatever capacity
mircea_popescu: you probably mean "apostasy is a block to marriage in the sense that if the man doesn't believe he shouldn't be married to anyone ; nobody cares what the woman believes or doesn't."
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron suppose the woman believes and the man doesn't, and they're married. as she's to take after him in all things ; and he's to educate her in all matters, by the time of her first litter she'll be an apostate too!
mircea_popescu: check it out, the trishop has meanwhile set aside apostasy as an exclusion criteria for nuptials.
BingoBoingo: I mean wtf, they are still around communing with theft?

mircea_popescu: and people can just follow the bash rss
mircea_popescu: shinohai in principle it could work like : there's a wp, either dedicated or extand with a special category ; when getting !~b bot just publishes the thing there then responds with "<jhvh1> Last 2 lines bashed : http://blog.url/article".
shinohai: Currently, bot just sends all the weekly bashims to pete_dushenski in a gpgram for him to publish, kinda low-tech :/
mircea_popescu: shinohai you could prolly dispense with "moderation" altogether.
mircea_popescu: o hey where's it publish them ?
mircea_popescu: that people this stupid manage to find food is an outrage to all the gods.
mircea_popescu: and in other wtf, now i'm getting local "businessmen" trying to convince me to publicize their "business idea". which is... "the patagonian pyramid". EXACTLY what you imagine.

mircea_popescu: backed by the history of skillful women collected in a room, many impossible tasks are trivial. salt pickles a fine example of this.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's high enough and easy to lock i suppose were the criteria.
mircea_popescu: this selects a mold of the place. then you can start making all sorts of other things without a care in the world. like proper pickles.
mircea_popescu: that's the thing. step one in all "proper" ie ceuropean foodmaking is, you must have a room, which a) never freezes and b) bread is made in regularly.
mod6: also, i feel like i've got some interesting things to try from the idea of non vinegar pickles.
mircea_popescu: so much so that it influences village life, like at pig cutting time everyone'd make their stuff and then they put it to dry in the church bell tower, which was only opened on day x
mircea_popescu: and in europe, esp central europe (but a generous central expanding all the way into france and northern italy) it's a 10-15 century tradition.
mod6: i buy salami like ~weekly. its wonderful. if they started replacing it with some sort of soylent substitute... rage.
mod6: yeah, these are artisan things, can't be fucked with.
mircea_popescu: but like you say, turn it into a scam and they'll fight.\
mircea_popescu: so they add hydrogenated vegetal oils, starch, soy paste, whatever can be found to you know... expand it.
mod6: I love pickles btw. I'd probably enjoy having them every meal.
mircea_popescu: kind two, however, like spam, or baloney, or whatnot, is simply a technological answer to the "five people want to eat a pound of meat each but we only have six ounces of the thing".
mircea_popescu: this all has to do with http://trilema.com/2016/ferments/ and the fact that rotten meat, if properly rotten, is actually way the fuck better than fresh meat.
mod6: wow, she's easy on the eyes 'eh
mircea_popescu: kind one, like the two hundred bucks a kilo soppressata i buy, or the romanian molded horse salami, or etcetera, are actually ~improvements~ on the component meat.
mircea_popescu: there's two kinds of deli products / cold cuts / salami / what you call them.
mod6: so when you say 'soy to salami', you're saying they tried to make salami out of soy product?
mircea_popescu: they tried to ruin gender relations by forbidding anticonceptionals, but it failed to actually sour men on women or women on men.
mircea_popescu: their problem was that society was sufficiently connected, and so in spite of the state "empowering" women in their usual way, family endured, even strengthened because of it.
mod6: thanks for the nice titty pics last day or so
mircea_popescu: they actually tried to market it, believe it or not.
mircea_popescu: ceausescu got shot in part because of the fucking soy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's funny, especially seeing how the addition of soy to salami practiced by the commies was widely unpopular, and a significant case of the revolution.

phf: when i was growing up my parents would by my italian shoes for $200 or so, which was an exuberant amount. i have one pair still. i went hunting for the same kind recently, and not only is it impossible to find similar quality, once i had a friend of a friend recommendation it was in the $2000's. and it's not even proper dress shoes, more of loather kind, with incredibly soft caoutchouc soles.

BingoBoingo: And quality leather workboots cost $400 to $maxint, similar success

pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-24#1558563 << i definitely hammered home the notion that i'll write about anything today, but the fanfic requires some serious research into the mental vacuum that is elliot, research that just isn't on the agenda this week. between being out of town and renos at a couple suites and presentations and learning basic python, elliotology doesn't have much room to breathe
asciilifeform: for some reason IDENTICAL settings for 2 axis give you one that finds the home switch correctly, but another that finds it, then zooms off in opposite direction until BANG
mircea_popescu: "find out if we really went to the moon"
mircea_popescu: technology, as always to the detriment of the naturally gifted
mircea_popescu: who the fuck has the patience to ~talk~. like, vocally. one on one. wtf.
mircea_popescu: well, it has its place. but its an emotional thing, you call the bitchez up. granny, maybe.
