verisimilitude: you seem to have expected exclusivity for part, if not all, of the work. that is alright, and possibly even quite reasonable. I'll reconsider the offer's structure before acting upon asciilifeform's suggestion w.r.t. deeding a signed offer. |
06:40 |
adlai |
as far as my availability during the time you might spend: please expect your investigation of the program, and the comments already found within, to more closely resemble that of a forensic toxicologist, than that of a parole officer. |

http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-09-14#1021726 << pretty much erryone who lived long enuff, had someone take his mug on www. the hysteria around the subj reminds asciilifeform of the indians, 'photo steals soul!' |

snsabot |
Logged on 2020-09-14 23:08:40 mats: asciilifeform: i agree with you, unfortunately though its common to get volunteered into sharing photos publicly, by friends acquaintances and random passersby |
11:45 |
asciilifeform |
asciilifeform, for instance, was photo'd by mp in '14. afaik still downloadable on his www, by nao prolly in iso standard pistol target format. i can't picture wai to give a damn. |
11:48 |
mats |
intel is just information until there is context |
11:51 |
asciilifeform |
mats: point is, mugs aint seekrit. for 20+y anyone w/ a coupla $ can get mug from $name . |
| |
~ 22 minutes ~ |
12:13 |
mats |
i get that, and there might be others in the shot, or exif data, or other useful metadata like where uploaded |
12:27 |
mats |
maybe its a peer group peculiarity, i dunno. i've had a lot of photos taken of me without explicit consent, and that's fine even in this context because i'm not an interesting target for stalking. but i could see it becoming a problem for people i know |
| |
~ 1 hours 21 minutes ~ |
13:49 |
asciilifeform |
mats: near as i can tell, 'stalking' is a 'new age crime' concocted by hysteri-feminists et al. sorta like 'human trafficking' and similar. |
| |
~ 15 minutes ~ |
14:04 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: I have been stalked. It's annoying as hell - I'm not mp, don't have a gang to encourage people to leave me alone. |
14:06 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: interesting -- what specifically consisted of ? |
14:08 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: Constant phone calls, texts, unwanted birthday cake on front step. Unwanted chicken sacrifices. Had to change my number. |
14:08 |
asciilifeform |
lol, here in maryland, usa folx sometimes pay to have this kinda thing fraudulently staged, so they can get pistol permit |
14:09 |
* |
asciilifeform tries to picture why & why would send 'unwanted cake' |
14:09 |
asciilifeform |
... poisoned ? |
14:09 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: unrequited love |
14:10 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: I ended up eating the cake - not poisoned. |
14:10 |
asciilifeform |
of chix?! what'd it cost you to simply agree to fuck'er ? |
14:11 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: it'd cost me having other girlfriends. |
14:11 |
asciilifeform |
could not offer a harem slot ? |
14:12 |
asciilifeform |
if yer the sorta fella whom chix 'stalk', imho not unreasonable to presume that it'd work |
14:12 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: I made the offer - it was rejected. |
14:12 |
asciilifeform |
nuts. |
14:16 |
asciilifeform |
even as described by thimbronion -- hardly seems moar than a light spam annoyance. asciilifeform for instance has no unrequited groupies, but simply from background radiation of spamiverse finds himself w/ whitelist-only phone and dedicated rubbish bin for junk snail mail.. |
14:17 |
mats |
asciilifeform: depending on how attractive your social group is, its not hysterical at all |
14:21 |
mats |
whether its exaggerated is... in the eye of the beholder i guess |
14:21 |
asciilifeform |
mats: tbf asciilifeform not only not yet earned sniper bullet, but not even spam cake like thimbronion , so not esp. experienced w/ subj |
14:25 |
asciilifeform |
mats: but from my pov 'interesting people' often seem to work quite hard to deliberately create this type of problem for selves; from the isis commander who posted photo+exif of his hq on arsebook, to the porn chix who post daily cunt + exif on same, etc |
14:25 |
mats |
kinda like the spam cake story, a friend has an attractive gf with a creepy, loaded classmate who would regularly take everyone out to lunch |
14:26 |
mats |
at one point he would bring catered lunches several times a week, for two semesters |
14:26 |
mats |
my friend was pleased and received a lot of leftovers |
14:26 |
asciilifeform |
this is a sin ? |
14:26 |
mats |
lmao |
14:26 |
mats |
well, there were a lot of rejected advances and he would only give them to female classmates |
14:27 |
asciilifeform |
wai wouldn't they 'laff all the way to the bank' ? |
14:28 |
mats |
they did, and he was a harmless not-rapey type, but it doesn't always turn out so positively after n-th missed social cues |
14:28 |
asciilifeform |
mats: in ru there are camwhores who set up so that rando idjits can wire'em money. some receive 6-fig $ routinely, and even find that they've been titled real estate, by such idjits. they make millions and laugh. |
14:29 |
mats |
we have that in usa, its called patreon and cashapp |
14:29 |
mats |
or onlyfans |
14:29 |
asciilifeform |
if moron shows up to her penthouse with 'ideas', the guards break his limbs. |
14:30 |
mats |
only looking to dispel the notion this is hysteria |
14:32 |
asciilifeform |
mats: in my pov it's an economic calculation like any other. i.e. if the type of biz yer in routinely results in assassins at yer door, but doesn't bring in enuff to hire guards or live inside a minefield, possibly rethink the biz ? |
14:32 |
mats |
the business of having a vagina and nice tits? |
14:34 |
asciilifeform |
mats: not simply having the organs (plenty of these on planet3) but spamming'em on 'social www' etc |
14:34 |
asciilifeform |
aka 'attention whoring' |
14:35 |
mats |
its a reflection of the times when attention whoring is heavily normalized |
14:35 |
asciilifeform |
suppose mats collects rare metals, and has 1e6$ worth of au bricks on his desk. he wouldn't take daily pics of it an' post on arsebook. given as he has a brain. |
14:36 |
asciilifeform |
'normalized' idjicy is still idiotic. |
14:37 |
mats |
sure, i buy that |
14:37 |
asciilifeform |
for instance i find it hilarious that folx in usa who own 5figs$ worth of e.g. rifles, and see nightmares at night re usg confiscators, still cannot resist to post detailed jpegs of same, erry other day |
14:38 |
asciilifeform |
( often enuff w/ exif etc ) |
14:38 |
asciilifeform |
one'd naively assume, who the hell needs to know that you have a 'barrett'. |
14:38 |
asciilifeform |
yet idiot can't resist. |
14:39 |
asciilifeform |
then very surprised that local police bringing unpaid traffic ticket show up w/ rpg. |
14:39 |
mats |
maybe theres a qt you know who likes guns too |
14:40 |
asciilifeform |
or consider '13337 d00dz' who can't hold back to brag about their virii. |
14:40 |
mats |
when she comments you can invite her to a boba shop |
14:40 |
asciilifeform |
lol suure |
14:41 |
mats |
or a goat milk shop or whatever it is ukrainians are into |
14:43 |
asciilifeform |
vanity, imho, is sin. |
14:43 |
asciilifeform |
the kind that folx end up paying for. |
14:44 |
mats |
its my least favorite sin |
14:44 |
asciilifeform |
either pay for guards, walls, minefields; or be ready to pay w/ the goods that you flash like moron to the hungry & avaricious . |
14:46 |
asciilifeform |
there's 'over 9000' stories of e.g. usg defectors to su, who were nailed because after 20y could not resist to buy mercedes. |
14:46 |
asciilifeform |
'how didja buy it on gs-13 wage?' '...' |
14:48 |

good thing i hide my wealth in bars of palladium |
14:56 |
asciilifeform |
it's interesting, ianal but i naively supposed 'californistan couldn't tax folx who live outside'. but if think about it, it's same thing usg does for escapees |
14:56 |
asciilifeform |
so there is precedent. |
14:57 |
mats |
you could domicile in south dakota as one of those rv transients |
14:58 |

deriving nontrivial cali income and hiding that would be hard though |

kind of hard to live there as an asian man though |

15:03 |
mats |
apparently some public officials were telling people they didnt need them, reversed after a few weeks passed, what a mess |
15:04 |
asciilifeform |
was Official usg proclamation. 'save masks for Official medics, don't waste' |
15:04 |

being an asian man in rural new england is like wearing a red hat in blue country |

asian women don't seem to have a problem though in my experience |
15:06 |

it occurs to asciilifeform that in fact he hasn't been to anywhere in usa >100km from an international airport. so not deeply familiar w/ such locales. |
15:06 |

asciilifeform: I noticed a trend recently with younger hispanic girls - proudly esl. Spanish considered vulgar. |
15:10 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: iirc similar process took place in early 20th w/ italians in nyc etc |
15:11 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: it goes against the images I've seen of mexican flags at various rallies. |
15:11 |

( iirc trinque noted that he descended from these, but family did not speak italian ) |
15:12 |

yep, there was a split. great-grandfather considered english a "guttural, boorish language" as relayed by his translator, because he refused to learn it. |

his son taught none of his kids the language, and thus. |
