benkay: he claimed a degree of constant synasthesia. was also pretty thoroughly autistic. the story was that he couldn't see his screen when voices got loud.
mircea_popescu: dub not bad actually. who's the chick ?
mircea_popescu: benkay so like a dog ? other dogs barking, can't focus nomoar.
duduqa: hi there
mircea_popescu: it's when a chick thinks she can smell your cock because it hits her in the back of the throat so nice
mircea_popescu: no they don't stop pushing your druggie agenda.
dub: is that the audio hallucanatoin jonx?
nubbins`: anyway, full circle, synesthesia has been reported in both lsd users and autistics
dub: you the whitest nigger I ever dun see
mircea_popescu: i'm the black or w/e
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i guess i gotta be on the spectrum
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=On%20the%20spectrum | Oct 19, 2013 ... On the spectrum. A phrase used to describe a person with social tics and/or awkwardness usually associated with autism or asperger's ...
nubbins`: ;;ud on the spectrum
nubbins`: you were a few facile statements away from me asking if you were on the spectrum ;p
nubbins`: i'll concede that i'd just as soon kill the pillheads in my neighbourhood
nubbins`: argue, either!
nubbins`: the average canadian doesn't want a revolution
mircea_popescu: but you can't in any shape or form successfully argue that the current english cultural space anti-intellectualism, anti-voluntarism and deliberate depersonalisation has any sort of future.
nubbins`: be it dropping social welfare or easing restraints on the consumer market
mircea_popescu: that's about the set, really.
mircea_popescu: finally, the language was deteriorating under the pressure of bureaucratic formalism.
mircea_popescu: people put up with it till the debt was paid, in 88. at that point no relaxation showed up and peeps were enraged
mircea_popescu: in the 80s ceausescu got pissed off at the us bankers, paid off all romania's debt. this resulted in horrible restraints on consume market.
mircea_popescu: in the 70s they made contraception illegal. the births jumped then over a decade levelled off to the original values. the life of women turned into a nightmare tho. those kids... they pretty much WERE the revolution.
mircea_popescu: but to not let the revolution issue hanging : there were arguably a few explanatory reasons
nubbins`: mircea_popescu, maybe they should have a safe pot smoking site
herbijudlestoids: so when i left the house yesterday afternoon, the GH on coinminer.net pool for ATC was ~40. when i got home, ~100. today, ~200

mircea_popescu: there we go.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` let me guess, they experiment right ?
nubbins`: no, i'm going to tell you it was over I HAVE THE ANSWERS STFU OR BANG
mircea_popescu: here's a fun little tidbit : in 1991 they had no cop on the force that knew what pot smells like.
mircea_popescu: wait, you're going to tell me that the romanian revolution was over free access to drugs ?
nubbins`: oh. so pretty well, then
mircea_popescu: on the grounds of all the aids kids being starved to death in specialised institutions ?
mircea_popescu: you know what autism figures were in romania at the time the aids figures were 0.0x%
mircea_popescu: this has been one of the best arguments with no actual common ground in which people talking about entirely different things that so far ever happened on assets
nubbins`: after all, if the shoe doesn't fit, it's because of libtards encouraging kids to grow their feet
mircea_popescu: no. everyone should eat peas or they're beaten.
nubbins`: herbijudlestoids: and everyone should eat peas or they're stupid
moiety: depends on the aim. we used it to stop people overdosing
mircea_popescu: and wantboy shouldn't have to eat the peas
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids no no we must have fucktarded 5yo arguments about how the peas aren't really peas
moiety: sorry delayed response but what do you think about daily/weekly dispensing then nubbins`?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` in the sense we rounded 1 out of 5498740958609 to 0 we'll round out of 5498740958608 out of out of 5498740958609 to 1.0
nubbins`: 100% of the time
mircea_popescu: so then wtf basis do you "Think" on
nubbins`: i don't think heroin fits that either
mircea_popescu: dub heroin. some synthetics.
nubbins`: so, booze fits the definition
mircea_popescu: the definition of which is "sudden discontinuation = death"
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the list : to be an addictive substance something needs to actually give addiction
nubbins`: sure, but you take away that 900 and food stamps and housing tomorrow and the city would burn to the ground in a week
mircea_popescu: people making 900 a month in food stamps and free housing over there hang around the cortners glaring at passer bys
nubbins`: i do have to lel when i see people jam most of an 8ball up their nose at the bar and then ask if the coffee is "fair trade" at the shop the next day
mircea_popescu: with their own tools.
dub: it probably is a thing there
mircea_popescu: think of utility in the following terms : people making on average 300 bucks here when rents are on average 350 bucks
mircea_popescu: so the society is reasonably functional still.
mircea_popescu: dub no, they just don't have this "omg what do you want" culture yet
dub: no, they kill and eat drug users
mircea_popescu: kids and their pills mostly.
nubbins`: sounds like there's not much drug use in your town
mircea_popescu: your list may vary at your leisure, the argument is list independent
mircea_popescu: nubbins` pretty much heroin is the only entry on my list of "drugs"
KRS-One: oxycodone is great anytime of the day or week.
KRS-One: nubbins` alcohol is way worse than pot..you can't overdose on da ganja either
KRS-One: nubbins` I think pot is the best pain killer that isnt made in a lab
nubbins`: wait, shit, now we've got drunkards everywhere driving cars and beating their kids
benkay: no nubbins` this 'kill everyone' is the actual plan. all of the above are just implementation details.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'm not proposing some never anesthesia bs incidentally.
mod6: i went without the stuff until i had 4 teeth drilled without it. that sucked.
punkman: but it's hard to stay still for the bigger fillings and shit
punkman: mircea_popescu: I skip the anesthesia at the dentist, hate having a numb face for 4 hours after
mircea_popescu: if she's cool enough to start shooting she's cool enough to take it on the chin and move on.
nubbins`: if your ass is in the door, yes
nubbins`: no, tough for the hospital staff she shoots
mircea_popescu: also probably the only guy to have ever been shot etc.
mircea_popescu: dub of everyone here i'm the only guy that gets his teeth fixed w/o anesthesia i'd wager.
nubbins`: or do we just shoot everyone who hurts their back?
mircea_popescu: of all things it's actually the most bearable. as people die of thirst in a coupla days and of hunger in a coupla months
nubbins`: your choices are stay in the hospital for 6 months or deal with unbearable chronic pain for 6 months
dub: havent you seen the matrix?
nubbins`: yeah dude, shit doesn't hurt in the hospital
mircea_popescu: people need pain relief if you let them outside.
mircea_popescu: dub who needs "pain relief" when they're stuck in hospital ?
nubbins`: hospital stays are a burden on the taxpayer, problem unsolved
mircea_popescu: alice wants oxycodone for her surgery she stays in the hospital.
dub: as should be obvious, the better way to acheive your subservience is to addict you to drugs and tv
nubbins`: alice takes oxycodone after her back surgery, bob takes oxycodone for the lels. alice and bob go to the hospital complaining of a bum knee.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` definitely more normal than the current crop.
nubbins`: here's another gedanken
dub: maybe at the cost of most of thier utility
mircea_popescu: and suddenly lolcatting isn't quite as appealing either,
mircea_popescu: six months later ALL the kids in that class do ALL the homework ALL of the time flawlessly.
mircea_popescu: you go to class of schoolkids, lay down the rules for what they have to do till next class. whoever didn't do it is beaten till they pass out.
mircea_popescu: dub far as i've seen it;s the only thing it ever worked.
mircea_popescu: anyway, fwiw, in my experience works splendidly. whether you're working to destupidify women, or to build an exchange, or anything else.
nubbins`: and the government will sell it to me
nubbins`: the want hand fills first here
nubbins`: in canada, it's generally accepted that people don't want things the way you describe
mircea_popescu: it's actually okay whether you like it or not. a la bitcoin.
nubbins`: maybe for romania, no idea what things are like there
dub: do the maths
mircea_popescu: you make simple rules and enforce them drastically.
mircea_popescu: there's no cutoff. you're caught stealing that's it for you.
nubbins`: what's the cutoff
mircea_popescu: nubbins` shot on the spot.
mircea_popescu: let them rot.
nubbins`: there isn't an "Afford drugs"
nubbins`: well that's the thing
mircea_popescu: you can afford drugs, you can afford to pay the hospital bill.
dub: people are going to do it, there is an efficient way to deal and its not filling up jails
mircea_popescu: then no prejudice.
nubbins`: test them for what?
mircea_popescu: overall the gravy train is going away
dub: dead body in the gutter causes more problems
mircea_popescu: no, it's a solution in reality. the lala land is the presumption that anyone is worth something.
mircea_popescu: the solution is to not provide any healthcare out of public funds for any drug user.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> junkies are going to shoot up whether they have clean digs or not << the solution isn't to let them do w/e they want cause otherwise they hold their breath
benkay: "have some tv, water, food-paste, sharps, internet. go to town, kids! just don't leave the tower."
benkay: just a short slide from locking all of the undesireables up in crappy hi-rises. i endorse.
nubbins`: you want 'em in the streets or in a sharps container?
moiety: this way, they are contained too
nubbins`: think about that: THREE QUARTERS of a major metropolitan city would rather the junkies have a safe, clean place to shoot up
nubbins`: 76% of vancouver residents support the existence of Insite
moiety: cleaner practice is always the ideal
nubbins`: anyway, the big mistake people make is thinking that safe injection sites, free crack pipes etc "enable" drug users
moiety: totally agree with you there benkay
nubbins`: the purpose of safe injection sites is to prevent junkies from getting hep c and try to get them to clean up
moiety: some more than others
moiety: how? they are using healthcare, if not for their habit, for the issues it brings them later down the line
nubbins`: there's a supervised injection site in downtown vancouver
benkay: doesn't really address the heroin side of things, though.
nubbins`: benkay, i'll leave that as an exercise to the reader
nubbins`: my who and their who?
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Just one Mayor that has been Caught. Eventually your Marion Berry will find their Kwame Killpatrick
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Only in Canada where your Mayors endorse them
benkay: babeface walked into a sharp thing on my mother's pilates reformer last night, and then went running/sledding drunk and naked in the snow afterwards. now she's dancing around the apartment wincing and cursing whenever she lands on the bum leg.

mircea_popescu: what's the exchange ?
ThickAsThieves: the guy seems to have a history of outing scammers
ThickAsThieves: i'm rolling the dice and sending some btc to this exchange
herbijudlestoids: oh right, is there a blockchain explorer up for altcoin?
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids his model is fundamentally broken. the relative prices of currencies are to a large degree fixed politically.
nubbins`: the details escape me
nubbins`: yeah, there's some connection between newfoundland and passchendaele
the20year: And they kind of had the similar opinion/use of commonwealth troops during ww2, just look at dieppe
the20year: Australia had sometimes similarissues, but more canadians were involved in events like passendale and the somme that obliterated large division sized units
the20year: Yeah , that was pretty common with commonwealth troops during WW1. All the colonies got screwed by England when they started having manpower shortgages
nubbins`: there were entire communities here essentially wiped out by ww1
the20year: I'm big on ww2 history, it was pretty easy to find out whether they sent infantry, i was pretty sure they sent something
mircea_popescu: and i wonder why's he not lobbying then.
nubbins`: the20year: ah, ya learn something new every day
mircea_popescu: that'd be the only proven and conceptually sound transmission mechanism,
mircea_popescu: pretty much the only way to profitably invest in equity in the soviet us is by being friendly with the us politburo.
herbijudlestoids: the whole point of the hussman funds is to invest based on proven transmission mechanisms
mircea_popescu: the argument is that in the actual dysfunctional economy as it is, without any accounting or reporting, the fed can SAY it did anything it pleases, and SAY it had whatever effect it choses
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids the argument isn't that in an actually functioning economy with actual accounting and reporting the virtual equivalent of the fed could prop up prices by printing paper.
mircea_popescu: the us cook your books authority.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: well he doesnt really view the "fighting the fed" angle as valid, he doesnt believe QE has any proven mechanism for higher prices and shows pretty convincing data on that front. his view is the rally since 2009 is entirely attributable to the FASB mark to unicorn rules
the20year: I guess it's better than flying the UK flag
the20year: they fly US flags in hawaii and Alaska during our veteran memorial days
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: it turns out in hindsight that their method would have worked perfectly but he wanted to be sure
herbijudlestoids: so hes been essentially fully hedged since 2009 and paying for the puts
nubbins`: the20year, we didn't "fight" in ww2 :)
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: basically in 2009 he mandated that they stress test their method on pre WW2 depression era data to validate it, and consequently missed the bottom. by the time he was satisfied the market had returned to overbought/overvalued/overbullish/rising yields state
nubbins`: the first giant squid corpse ever found washed ashore here!
nubbins`: a newfoundlander invented the gas mask!
the20year: i didn't realize people lived there
nubbins`: the20year, east coast
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids http://www.hussmanfunds.com/theFunds.html << why the fuck is he -5% over 5 years
nubbins`: "we have height restrictions on all buildings in the downtown core"
nubbins`: they'll name a building after ya
nubbins`: mircea_popescu, there's no such thing as a hassle here
mircea_popescu: nubbins` maybe the hassle of getting permits is such that they're just making a point.
the20year: Specifically, i was looking at building a methane digester and compressing the gas
the20year: We have 40c days here in Ohio and that's usually what they do
nubbins`: i have a hard time believing that the compression systems are so uneconomical that the better solution is to just waste it all
the20year: The compression systems aren't cheap, but i did manage to find one a few years ago that ran off of natural gas
nubbins`: well that would be the sensible thing
the20year: They used to do that all the time locally, but anymore they bottle/compress it or something else
the20year: No mister for them caz?
the20year: Nubbins, you in the US or somewhere else?
nubbins`: fun fact, we have a ton of offshore oil fields here, and they just burn off all the natural gas on site instead of doing something useful with it
mircea_popescu: cazalla well now we finally know who's causing all the global warming. STOP IT
nubbins`: maybe all this weird weather is from not burning enough dinosaur mud
mircea_popescu: to get out of the disaster area
cazalla: we've had heat wave after heat wave over the past few weeks in australia
herbijudlestoids: the20year: yeah
the20year: Car slid off road today into a guard rail. This is the worst winter I've ever had to drive in
nubbins`: basically the same
mircea_popescu: the entire thing melted and it smells like spring
mircea_popescu: then he could do a hood jump and arrest putin
the20year: he'd enjoy our weather
mircea_popescu: how old is the guy ?
the20year: herb, this is the fund manager you talked about earlier?
the20year: My brother sends enough DHL packages I guess that they want to start a hub or branch or whatever where he's located
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: he had one issue in 2009 when he was insisting to stress test their method against depression era data, so he missed that bottom in trade but did call it
cazalla: yeah well my dad knows the CEO of DHL
the20year: My brother actually pitched the idea of bitcoin to a higher level manager at DHL, and coinbase contacted him to pass some information to DHL, i guess coinbase has some pretty neat programs for large organiations
