mircea_popescu: moreover a) why would you even try if not because you're deliberately preparing the design of a trawler and want to get the minutia correct ; and
lobbes: yeah, automation does seem to be the answer to the sifting of the ocean problem. hard to sift through an entire ocean with a coffee mug
mircea_popescu: eg : ask ~every single blogger on wordpress.com~ whether they wouldn't like their own hosting. you know those shitheels a) conspire to fuck up the internet and b) fleece the poor noobs something fierce. why not hurt an imperial outfit while helping some rando anontards ?

mircea_popescu: for instance, cheap trick based on http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-29#1830756 : if i'm curious whether some slut does click a link, i just use a shorter version, then it's evident in the logs if she did. but anything works for this purpose, adding a &hurrdurr say, you can then grep for it in the weblogs.

asciilifeform: trinque: they do.
trinque: asciilifeform: don't they do number with "particles" ?
mircea_popescu: this because it's very strictly phonetically confined, so it works well for the continuation of classical poetry. because yes, ro has its own, unknwon, carmina buranas.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the simple perfect is deeply linked to [popular] poetry, such as say http://trilema.com/2014/maramu/

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can reliably distinguish philologist from plain romanian, as the latter's not going to be able to produce the simple perfect form for the "a coace" verb.\
asciilifeform: can haz demo that hinges on the 4th ?
asciilifeform: eh these correspond to earthing, i.e. делаю , сделал бы, я бы сделал , as i understand
mircea_popescu: but anyway, leaving these nonpredicative perfects aside : imperfect (eu faceam) ; composed perfect (eu am facut) ; pluperfect (eu facusem) and simple perfect (eu facui)
mircea_popescu: and eys the conjunctive has a perfect (eu sa fi facut)
mircea_popescu: and there's like 7 pasts.

mircea_popescu: ie, it is a proper machine, rather than chucka-ism.

mircea_popescu: it's difficult however to illustrate just how deeply the self-delusions go. i mean, by example : changed4good 21F Little "Now why would i serve you? You havent earned my submission. In fact i dont know you one bit and clearly you dont know me by your comment." LordMPofTMSR "'Earned' your submission ? Get over yourself. The fact that you don't know me is a) your fault of which b) you should be ashamed and c) working to remedy

mircea_popescu: yet from the other hand, as true as the foregoing may well be, the question "and what's one do to, live in the bubble he was born and die there also ?" stands, of course.
mircea_popescu: and we're not talking a bunch of little viscontis running around. they're all sorely unqualified to direct breakfast, and this makes exactly 0 impression on their multifolded narcissism. because qualification doesn't even exist, wtf, their qualification is existence, rite.
mircea_popescu: or if you prefer, douchebag or zx2c4 or kanzure or whatever. the postmodern world consists of a bunch of "directors" (in their own mind) who might maybe consider giving ~you~ a role in their WoWoW thing they've got going -- in their skull.
mircea_popescu: and furthermore -- the "only fetlife" item does not follow from anything personal -- mp is a perv, whatever. it follows from the objective. everything else, even should you acrete something, will be http://trilema.com/2010/problema-cu-crestinii/#comment-126101 << this moron,
mircea_popescu: and even given this, in order to convert fetlife leads into utility you actually need a dungeon, and the other slavegirls and you know, being the guy whio actually built all that.
mircea_popescu: consider this comes from someone who's systematically owned okcupid&every other "dating" "platform", askfm, reddit etc -- every other "social media" platform, who was doing put-flyers-on-posts ~a decade ago~ and just as systematically and so on.
mircea_popescu: mod6 honestly, if i thought any of this is worth doing i'd do it. from actual experience and as far as i can myself see so far, besides fetlife there's no utility in the fiat bubble-makers.

mircea_popescu: "represents a major upgrade of our system and is, as far as we are aware, the only system of it's type that's been developed on RISC OS." << read one line, run into one spelling error. this bodes well for the LOC.
asciilifeform: when i ditch the last glibctronic gentoos, it won't be a day too soon.
trinque: oughta be pretty clear gentoo's firmly in satan's hands these days

trinque: toggled by the rsync-verify use flag, not that I'm excusing it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so this is it for "public" gentoo then ?
asciilifeform: lol was that meant for the roadconetraining chan ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 not that big a deal either way
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, after thinking about it a bit, I don't remember seen "booths" like I was thinking of there. was at least 15 years ago though.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: amusingly enuff , even the troo diehard ukrs are entirely ru-speaking folx, at least when camera aint rolling. and , extra lulzily, ditto the chechens ( witness, their 'all things ru suxxx!' 'official' www linked earlier -- 100% in ru )

mircea_popescu: mod6 why not ? pretty sure all it takes is money. the sure sign of booth not doing anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the precise reason stated, marginal weirdo cultish folk. why's ukrainian not count as russian ? at least the ukrs have the claim on ~inventing~ it.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 isn;t las vegas actually closer to you ? << naw, but doesn't matter. im sure that they wouldn't let us set up a booth anyway.

asciilifeform never been to the orig vegas 'fedcon' tho
asciilifeform: mod6: a few yrs ago asciilifeform went ( or rather, was sent ) to a smaller/sadder version of said item, 'shmoocon', you wouldn't believe the sort of snake oil that was sold there

BingoBoingo: Sioux, Apache, fought. Cherokee were one of the five "civilized" tribes that tired to assimilate to verying degrees of rape
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cherokees didn't put up a fight. They made a show of imitating white culture and meaningfully resisted nothing imposed on them.
asciilifeform: they did manage to pyrrhicly win the 1st war with ru; erry bit as good orc troops as any, perhaps if cherokees had kalash they could have put up same level of fight.
mircea_popescu: very livresque item altogether.
BingoBoingo: mod6: Not quite yet. Waiting for the wait for furniture
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ddin't know this ?! imo one of their principal achievements

BingoBoingo: And linked the wrong camera
BingoBoingo: https://archive.is/aVT4o For the curious. Short story: Factory defaults are Potato, With practice and RTFM does distance well when you turn down the megapixels to 5, at clost distances (1 meter or less) you are completely at the mercy of light
BingoBoingo also ought to do a review of the camera I arrived with
BingoBoingo: Likewise furing the rest of Uruguay's games, I have agreed to sit in the exact same chair I occupied the previous matches.
