00:12 asciilifeform somehow i can't picture him as anyffing else
00:25 mircea_popescu read it outloud lol
~ 10 hours 4 minutes ~
10:29 mircea_popescu in random lulz : i re-watched flawless (of http://trilema.com/2013/the-typologies-of-homosexuality-reprint/#selection-153.28-153.74 fame) and omfg is it a piece of agitprop to make sovfilm proud! the drag queen may be a female impersonator, but the "retired hero cop" (ie, very much a http://trilema.com/2018/the-night-of-the-hunter/#selection-133.0-133.544 type character) "is a male impersonator". because see, gender ideals ar
10:29 mircea_popescu e just that, ideals, AND THEREFORE WONT YOU AGREE FAGGOTS ARE HUMAN TOO!!!
10:30 mircea_popescu it really should be watched side to side with http://trilema.com/2015/very-bad-things/ (a deeply religious piece about how whores aren't all thart cool and die for it whereas worthless "good" girlie's a very unique being that every male gotta worship!!!)
10:32 mircea_popescu vhs america might be ridoinculous enough, in its evanescent existence in the mind of a very selected few (principally, sovblok immigrants) ; but "cultural marxism" america is holy shit hysterical.
10:33 mircea_popescu to a large degree for the same fgucking reason, i suppose : that it only ever existed in the mind of a very select few, who however didn't have the excuse of poverty, or of distance, or of so very many other things that protect the rusophone moron from the full brunt of his wilful stupidity.
10:34 mircea_popescu the cab driver with a leningrad doctorate, gone to new york to "this is america!" is almost endearing ; the iowa farm girl gone to new york to "i r become a writer" is just...
~ 41 minutes ~
11:16 diana_coman in other travelling news: child was asked what did he see in costa rica? and he answered truthfully : he saw...Hannah aka hanbot
11:16 diana_coman I can't say I don't see his logic there
11:18 diana_coman from his point of view and at further prodding it sort of turned out that monkeys are funny, macaws are nice and the ocean + sand ok but by far the most interesting and important is meeting Hannah
11:19 mircea_popescu ehehe HE IS RIGHT! in spite of his young years!
11:20 diana_coman I'm actually impressed that the chateaubriand did not feature on 2nd place at least, lol
11:21 mircea_popescu lol
11:29 mircea_popescu see asciilifeform ? it keeps happening!
11:29 asciilifeform which it

11:32 mircea_popescu in the sense junkie similar to junkie.
11:32 asciilifeform well yes
11:34 asciilifeform sometimes ~entirely identical -- i recall reading of one physics d00d who was convinced that he will 'get rich' in nyc, selling... poetry
11:36 hanbot lol diana_coman ! kiddo's expertly-annunciated "a bit!" lives on in daily interjection here.
11:37 mircea_popescu hanbot somewhat!
11:37 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: hah, pretty interesting : the dram turds differ by... 3 bytes
11:38 mircea_popescu well then!
11:39 diana_coman hanbot, lol!
11:39 mircea_popescu i's true, actually. QUITE A LOT!
11:41 diana_coman this reminds of that time when they had a "drama taster" at nursery and I asked him whether he liked it: "I liked it; a bit; not as much as playing with the hammer!"
11:42 mircea_popescu lamo
11:46 mircea_popescu asciilifeform amusingly enough, i knew a chick like that ; she was going to get her big break in poetry IN CLUJ
11:46 mircea_popescu at a time if you put the whole population in a shaking machine you wouldn't have likely shaken a million loose.
11:47 mircea_popescu kids that grow up like c.s.lewis, ie forsaken, end up with a sorely overgrown notion of the importance of the self.
11:47 asciilifeform i suspect you can get moar 'big break' selling wine to winos, than the written word, in whatever form
11:48 mircea_popescu but people WANT TO "big break" from "writing". it's sorta like women who aspire to be paid for fucking.
11:48 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i find it interesting that ww1 didn't cure him
11:49 mircea_popescu if i were a snail, i suppose i also would want to be paid for leaving slime trails.
11:49 asciilifeform ( then again , spain did not cure orwell )
11:49 asciilifeform orwell was ~nearly~ cured, but german sniper aimed a bit low
11:49 deedbot http://trilema.com/2018/say-mr-why-is-your-name-popescu/ << Trilema - Say Mr... why is your name Popescu ?
11:52 asciilifeform paulgraham -- before turning into the infamous huckster -- had a piece where 'which biznis should you get into if you LUVV gardening?' '...recovering data from damaged hard disks!'
11:52 mircea_popescu asciilifeform ww1 was not what you imagine. the controlloing aspects are http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/#selection-3045.2154-3045.2200 in the theoretical and http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/#footnote_155_80959 in the practical.
11:53 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: plox to expand ?
11:53 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's terrible advice. "recovering data from damaged hard disks" is a "business" in the sense "painting and decorating boobies" is a business. nobody gets boobies anymore on account of bacterial diseases being exticnt.
11:53 asciilifeform as i understand , it was a perfectly decent meatgrinder, 'speshul snowflake'-eater
11:54 mircea_popescu and i'll expand, but read the references first.
11:54 * asciilifeform read, believe or not, whole thing
11:54 asciilifeform but how was 'throwing curve'
11:54 mircea_popescu well ? "don't attack enemy lest he attacks back" localized peace somehow sums up to a war over the interval ?
11:55 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: when pg wrote this, in late '90s, hdd surgery was still a seller's market
11:55 mircea_popescu incidentally, you know who n p billing was ?
11:55 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'local peace' would go, for, what, week at a time ? before somebody cuts loose
11:55 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: dun think so?
11:56 mircea_popescu asciilifeform he said it is a ~business~. it's not a business. if tomorrow civilisation ends scavenging its remais will be a large activity, but still not a business. "business" means something!
11:56 mircea_popescu billing was this fellow who famously sued a bunch of establishment faggots over his theory that faggot conspiracy is the cause of ww1 failure.
11:57 mircea_popescu somewhat like "reddit" umm how did the expression go...
11:57 mircea_popescu a here we have it, http://logs.minigame.biz/2018-08-05.log.html#t07:31:20
11:57 lobbesbot Logged on 2018-08-05 07:31:20: <Tyrantelf20> Read what IRC investigative journalists have uncovered on the freenode pedophilia scandal https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Freenodegate
11:58 mircea_popescu so : something i nthe vein of reddit investigative journalists uncovering the pizza hut hilary clinton pedophilia scandal, if you recall that.
11:59 asciilifeform 'In Lesbian ecstasy the most sacred secrets of the state were threatened' << lol!!
12:00 mircea_popescu aha.
12:02 asciilifeform loox like a moar erudite ver of the pizza folx, yes
12:02 mircea_popescu it's fundamentally what it is, "confederacy" of "independent" men alone going at teh establishment. the dent they make always takes the same shape
12:02 mircea_popescu it's approximatelly an L
12:03 mircea_popescu it'd seem self-evident that if a buncha doods carrying an L etched on their forehead go banging their heads on a chunk of concrete insistently enough in large enough groups, the L will eventually to some degree and under some lights transfer.
12:03 mircea_popescu yet somehow, never self-evident to the pizza folks.
12:03 asciilifeform i'm not even convinced that billing's 'britain run by fags' thing were untrue. but the part where it is 'from german wreckers' is pretty rich
12:04 mircea_popescu but this is precisely how it goes!
12:04 mircea_popescu you know for a fact pantsuited hilarity traded in children. the part where it was run from a pizzeria in wash dc... well...
12:04 asciilifeform see also the 'elders of zion' mega-bestseller.
12:04 asciilifeform imho the canonical example.
12:06 asciilifeform idjit peasant cannot invent devils that 'can only see through microscope', he has never laid hands on microscope. so they will inevitably be devils that you 'can see' by rubbing chicken shit in yer eyes.
12:06 mircea_popescu economics disposes : the dynasty was hannoverian ; at the time cheap fuckmeat was both prettier (ie, higher quality) and cheaper had in rural hannover than in rural lancastershire. so unsurprisingly, cousin bob fucked little boys at cousin joe's house, rather than the reverse.
12:06 mircea_popescu if you live in miami and your cousin lives in akron, it'll be he who comes to your studio for doing coke, not you to his.
12:07 mircea_popescu thus therefore, the fecalscopy scientists identified "german subversion plot".
12:08 asciilifeform with the predictable results, aha
12:09 asciilifeform btw observe that errything pertaining to royal collusion with germany, in both wars, still Official Seekrit in britain
12:09 asciilifeform ('until 2050' or how it went)

12:24 mircea_popescu asciilifeform but let's continue the "do you knows" then. ever heard of one j. r. davis ?

12:58 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: nein
12:59 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: all i see is 1st para
13:00 asciilifeform 'A man killed by a train in The Dalles in mid-August had a Youtube following and was a “minor celebrity” in the computer world for doing the Herculean task of writing his own operating system, a fan said...'
13:04 mircea_popescu i would suppose it wasn't so much suicide as the train failing to correctly play the part fucktard assigned it in fucktard's own WoWoW.
13:04 asciilifeform d00d was, supposedly, certifiably schizo
13:04 asciilifeform so entirely possib
13:05 asciilifeform in usa these figure prominently in pedestrian splats
13:05 mircea_popescu like all the rest of them. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-10#1840735 just as certified schizo.
13:05 a111 Logged on 2018-08-10 01:23 rain2: yep just poking around online
13:05 asciilifeform they poke, poke, until 5000 volts.
13:06 mircea_popescu hence, "train failed to correctly play the part tard assigned it"
13:07 asciilifeform aha, prolly thought 'i'ma push it aside with little finger'
13:08 asciilifeform the interesting bit is, the os, was actually novel/interesting in aspects -- e.g. implemented the ~only~ known example of http://www.loper-os.org/?p=256
13:08 asciilifeform the sad bit, tho, is that he gave up pretty early on re: actually making the thing boot on physical iron. erry copy i got hold of, ran in vmware strictly.
13:08 mircea_popescu i recall.
13:13 asciilifeform that was his first, and from my pov, really the last, splat, against the wall
13:13 asciilifeform (rather than the train)
13:14 asciilifeform e.g. gabriel_laddel, then proceeded to re-enact the same splat
13:15 asciilifeform 'if i close eyes wall will surely vanish'
13:16 asciilifeform it's a remarkably common failure mode.
13:17 asciilifeform ( i can see why asciilifeform's approach, 'dig for years with a spoon, maybe eventually make hole' is not 'sexy' and does not appeal. but it imho beats splat. )
13:18 mircea_popescu depends on how precious you think yourself.
13:18 mircea_popescu "I am not to be common, Kyle, ok? I am a creature like no other. I know that. I am a creature like no other. And I will not -- I willnot be common. "
13:18 asciilifeform lol i just today reread that one
13:21 mircea_popescu well ? slow approaches that work may well be "too common".
13:21 mircea_popescu god knows it's been the recorded problem of teenaged boys throughout civilisation.
13:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i think it is clear that if digger aint willing to contemplate 'maybe i die before hole, but next one will dig, cross the barbed wire over my corpse' will dig no serious holes.
13:22 mircea_popescu or rather, will dig no holes in any serious matter.
13:23 asciilifeform well yes, will dig until 'too hard' and go gabriel_laddel'ing somewhere.
13:25 asciilifeform 'iron phobia' is endemic in programmer types.
13:26 asciilifeform esp. the ones who ended up in the trade to begin with 'because easier'
13:29 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: upstack : so who was j r davis ?
13:30 mircea_popescu fellow who was ambushed by a bunch of "hardened criminals", killed seven out of two revolvers and four more with his knife. the rest took to flight.
13:30 mircea_popescu the two other guys he had with him died.
13:30 asciilifeform oh was this the new york subway pistolero ?
13:30 mircea_popescu nah, san francisco.
13:30 asciilifeform aa nyc was one bernhard goetz
