cazalla: they do that here in australia, a lot of graduates take jobs that pay under the threshold as to avoid paying back the debt
asciilifeform: and the 'college' racket could finally implode.
asciilifeform: wonder how many of these folks would theoretically accept a russian passport and guaranteed metallurgical work in norilsk.
asciilifeform: 'graduated in 2008 with about $25,000 of debt just about the national average. More than five years later, she has only managed to pay back about $2,000.' << where did this kid work - Butugychag?

nubbins`: i prefer the term antisocial media for trees/teevees
mircea_popescu: nubbins` ten years later, multi-billion dollar business doesn't understand for the life of it why it can't sell anything anymore.
mircea_popescu: let the permanent record reflect that kuka is a piece of shit scam rather than a robot manufacturer, and that they made a bunch of fake news which resulted in http://bitbet.us/bet/760/kuka-table-tennis-robot-to-beat-human/ having to be cancelled.
gribble: The operation succeeded.

asciilifeform: the illustration on absent condoms << 'sound of one hand clapping'
mircea_popescu: in who, in the girls ?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: because your sin pokes holes in them
mircea_popescu: those should be the illustration on absent condoms
nubbins`: "get a job or you'll be asking people if they want fries with that" turns into "what are you, too good for a fast food job?" and people wonder why the kids are confused
mircea_popescu: wait, why are these realistic for condoms ?
nubbins`: "The condoms should have had more realistic pictures on them. Such as a teenager laying in bed with a baby crying in the background and an alarm clock showing 2 am, or a teenager with a paper hat on cooking fries."
mircea_popescu: magnums are comfortable, the box is non-plastic and perforated, the individual wrappers tear easily.
mircea_popescu: benkay for instance i hate the durex brand because not only they fit much too tightly, but uber-retarded wrapping.
kakobrekla: now we came to the roots of round corner hate.

benkay: i met an ex-teacher while drinking beers after closing a deal the other day. he mentioned teaching sex-ed in an abstinence-only situation, and when I asked him "so how do you actually teach them?!" he said something along the lines of "well the smart ones can read between the lines"

Mats_cd03: ive only been to one bad bbq ribs place in my life (<6 on a 1-10 scale) and they used cedar for their meats... tastes like smoked soot ass
Mats_cd03: i don't know exactly why, but it has to do with 'planking' v 'smoking' and theres resin in those woods
nubbins`: they almost give that shit away
Mats_cd03: better than hickory imo but it can be expensive if theyre not local
mircea_popescu: these pot things... meh.
nubbins`: that's the style i'm familiar with
nubbins`: kolbassa, kielbasa, as many spellings as there are types
mircea_popescu: the right side has a fire pit
mircea_popescu: nubbins` think of the letter h
mircea_popescu: just give it enough space to dry the o no no
mircea_popescu: and stuff the thing.
mircea_popescu: then select the meat, concentrate the juice, add foie gras patee'd and thin black perigord truffle
mircea_popescu: still this is something i want to try now, get a pheasant, plum and gut it, boil down the carcass until everythin comes off
nubbins`: maybe the flavors just don't go well
nubbins`: most "food" in the western world is full of sodium benzoate and shit
mircea_popescu: it's what most of cairo's 10mn population lives on, for the record.
nubbins`: that's the big difference

ozbot: The Epicurean Dealmaker: Goodwill Hunting
mircea_popescu: This is why primatologists never watch TV. When females go into estrus, the chimp-offs are pure entertainment. Its funny, violent, full of chases and trickery, and its X-ratedimagine a pornographic Three Stooges and the researchers get to claim that counting erections is scientific research.
mircea_popescu: the alpha males back is turned. Males can only strategize for a higher percentage of copulations, never for faithfulness. When a chimp female in heat presents her posterior to a male, there could be any number of different guys sperms already swimming around in there.
mircea_popescu: Youd think this would be paradise for the males. Wrong. Every male chimp is a cuckold. Chimp alpha males are in a tizzy, running around trying to stop secret copulations between females and lower-ranking males, but the female drive for sexual variety outwits the male chimps while they are busy fighting. Alphas can only control one or two of these nymphomaniacs at once, who throw themselves on male penises every time
Mats_cd03: ever read The Epicurean Dealmaker, mp? finance+philosophy, seems up your alley
mircea_popescu: i blame the schools. these people should have been abused into insanity long before reaching the internet.
MisterE: there's a non-headline
MisterE: this channel is pretty mature but doesn't it bring the kid out in all of us a bit?
mircea_popescu: so how old are you then ?
Mats_cd03: MisterE gives me the impression hes in high school
Mats_cd03: "When the female lions in the pride are in heat, he must mate with all the females every half-hour for three days.”
MisterE: mom lays eggs and dad cums over them, water is full of it
Mats_cd03: the telegraph doesnt think so
punkman1: Mats_cd03: that's usually the female's eggs
Mats_cd03: "The testicles are even larger in sea urchins. They spawn directly into the ocean. To increase the chance of fertilising an egg, the sea urchin is a huge testicle with a little shell around it."
nubbins`: so access to safe, legal abortions would, in theory, cause a decrease in dick and ball size

mike_c: um, so are they sycophants or pseduonyms? there are some serious logical fallacies in his bullshit.
mircea_popescu: "it appears that Mircea Popescu either can't be bothered to read or has so convinced himself of his own godliness that he thinks he can just make stuff up and the band of sycophantic pseudonyms will eat it up with stars in their eyes."
mircea_popescu: usagi : a) this is a different scam than the other scam and generally this should not be discussed here or in this way or etc ;
