mircea_popescu: there just isn't a third road.
mircea_popescu: obviously, the managerial imbecile didn't specifically aim to make life hard for engineers. nevertheless - it's either one or the other, and if you're not actively oppressing people who know how things should be, you're then therefore actively oppressing people who are curious as to how things actually are.
mircea_popescu: "How does the bitter black fungus keep out the tasty lactic bacteria ? Certainly not directly ; it's a terraforming process you see. Which is why you can't "just want to" : either you permit it or you don't permit it. There's no third option available."

ben_vulpes: so here's a dumblarious notion: move all the old html into the webserver root to preserve links, and then make a dummy post for each page that redirects to the correct flat html file
mircea_popescu: likely, but as i've never needed to i don't have it at the ready.
ben_vulpes: hm so would it be possible to keep the year/month/ for most post titles but override it on a per-post basis
mircea_popescu: then it should do it.
ben_vulpes: cool permalink shows up in source but not on the page
mircea_popescu: a yes, you can name the url anything you wish, just click on it under the title when editing an article
mircea_popescu: look for any time i typoed a title. the old url still works.
ben_vulpes: eeeeeentirely unrelatedly, mircea_popescu is there a way to set post slugs in mp-wp?
mircea_popescu: lulzy thing with him. "why did they draw a hitler moustache on him ??" "nono, he ~wore~ that. it was a fashion at the time. like bell bottoms." "ooh"
BingoBoingo: OMG you stole the name I was gonna give woodchipper when I pick one up
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna sell it, at least sell it in a ditch, fighting to exterminate the jews or to not exterminate the jews or something.
mircea_popescu: allows people to sell their soul, quick and cheap.
asciilifeform: to 'enough to be danger to self and others'
asciilifeform: sooo the contemplated model has 'princess leia' in the role of visual basic? elevating the marginal?
a111: Logged on 2014-07-19 03:15 mircea_popescu: now among this dozen, there was a mentally retarded girl. she wasn't badly touched, maybe 80 or so. definitely enough to take care of herself. definitely not enough for high level math. her parents however were i dun recall what academic country gentry, and so they insisted she go.
mircea_popescu: insanity is never a good thing in the mix.
mircea_popescu: there's no difference between girl who's not hot squeaking her way into modelling job because she's willing to make her own costumes, and that misfortunate math assistant professor i mentioned yonder long ago in the logs and alf prolly still remembers.
mircea_popescu: nothing. that's the problem. "but the vast majority who have aligned their psychology with this vector will pursue an impossible fantasy at the expense of their labor and their lives." is the ballas quote.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes but she's not merely DRESSED in the costume.
mircea_popescu: the previous set were all about "love and open up to the world and blablabla"
mircea_popescu: take one single point of reference, i think it works pars pro toto : "She says that entrepreneurs need to have a thick skin. “Just don’t care” is her advice. She says you need to just keep going – remember, the internet is a cruel and malicious place for a girl in a bikini top and elf ears."
ben_vulpes: what same, few girls conniseurs of the act.
mircea_popescu: still not the same.
mircea_popescu: for one thing. but even without that...insanity is never a good thing in the mix.
ben_vulpes: maybe the latter is more likely to actually get knifed at the end?
asciilifeform: does it make substantial difference to the rapee?
mircea_popescu: pro tip : the former don't usually figure in serial killing files. the latter rarely don't figure in serial killing profiles.
mircea_popescu: do you perceive the difference between "im raping you because i think you're fucking hot" and "i'm raping you because i'm fixated on a character i've decided you represent" ?
ben_vulpes: leila's rape being the ip infringement?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes as to the other point - fetishism is still unhealthy. samatha fox was, sex toy or no, still samatha fox. and if someone cornered her in a dark alley and stuck it in her, the rape happened to samantha.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: there is still 2 or three years of these wunkderkids for the mpaa to chew through before cockboxmaster or ($seen) Framedragger get their butts off the couch and make a wot-blessed tracker
mircea_popescu: she's ~the chick that gives sorry excuses of teethy blowjobs and buys you beer
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: just the geniuses who accepted payment via natobank
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not even that ; i see nothing here but george costanza's retort to the observation he did no work : "but consider, i am in the smaller office". the chick's not hot, she's average at best. her face's all weird etc. BUT! she makes her own costumes! out of construction paper!
ben_vulpes: no more slutty mcsluttersons then because they're all being coy while seeking fame prancing around as fiction characters?
mircea_popescu: is the observation.
mircea_popescu: because of a weakening of corporate grip on ip, the two are mixing, to the detriment of everyone involved
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes we're discussing two things. one is the idol, such as the girl herself, corporeal. the other's the ip, such as "princess leila".
ben_vulpes: what, samantha fox enforced her ip 'rights' and the other girls didn't?
asciilifeform: there are still folx ready to fuck the dessicated mummy of mata hari.
mircea_popescu: they had it in revolutionary france. it's been around for a while.

mircea_popescu: let's just say the internet didn't invent the fandom. it moreover killed it.
ben_vulpes: i lack the context to understand the link
ben_vulpes: dude there was no internet
mircea_popescu: in context of "why there weren't a buncha derpy 20yo chicks running around dressed as minnie in 1976"
mircea_popescu: course with the current derps ... "haha they already lost it - i went to college"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes how about "your parents will lose the house"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l! for some reason i pictured them paying royalties to mpaa or the like
mircea_popescu: all i see so far - is that softening the grip on IP is actually more harmful to human life than keeping it tight. this entire cosplay thing exists essentially because the various "ip holders" aren't nearly as vigorous as they were in the 70s (good fucking luck doing "your own version of mickey mouse/donald duck" because "you think you look like them" and then - horror of horrors!!11!!1 - selling fucking tschotchkes)
mircea_popescu: is she on tour or some shit ? no fucking rock band made their own costumes out of $200 to go on tour. ffs.

mircea_popescu: what the fuck is going on in this america, they dress out of an hour's work ?
mircea_popescu: yeah well the city of amazon alien mutant dinos also.
mircea_popescu: somehow they don't even notice this. "why aren't you in asian then ???" "oh, from ohio to la was long enough a trip for me!"
mircea_popescu: the definitive statement ; "and this is romania - in moscow they must be having it better!"
mircea_popescu: "And a lot of income comes from merchandise sales. McCaskill estimates that “top tier” cosplayers might make around $70-125,000 a year. Breaking this down, if a cosplayer attends 26 conventions a year and sells 100 prints (a low number) per weekend for $20, that’s $52,000 a year. Minus costs (makeup, equipment, photography shoots) that sounds pretty sweet. And this is North America. The Asian market is much larger and s
mircea_popescu: the grift works towards a specified target. scamzoring is just low effort whaling, trying to eat the copepods that socialist state redistribution produces.
ben_vulpes: phf: i will kick your bot over while you're at the burn if nobody else has/will step forward
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck. a set is an hour and a half, and while not the multi-k figures, it still pays 4-500 ish.
ben_vulpes: must be horrendously out of the time.
ben_vulpes did not realize that griftering was a noble calling these days!
mircea_popescu: "Most cosplayers are shy about revealing their exact numbers, so we sourced some from industry experts. Cosplay Photographer Don McCaskill said that a low day rate is $75 to $300 for a cosplayer."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i suspect they meant the grift not the graft.
mircea_popescu: by now these idiots are so infatuated with their own "SOCIAL MEDIA!!! HUGE!!!" gargle they don't even comprehend numbers. "it's a number, so it's huge, righht ?"
mircea_popescu: 796, you realise. almost enough to be the 3rd elected alderman in shitown stickville.
mircea_popescu: "The line was for TwitchCon merchandise. T-shirts were $22 – $25. The next day they were $150 on eBay." right, right "were". how many fucking sold ? "I CAN DO ANYTHING! I'VE NEVER BEEN PUNCHED!"
