Thu Dec 03 14:47:46 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> does anyone have the line where i tell asciilifeform or someone that their love of lisp is misplaced, because a) c was just as great before the horde got involved and b) if lisp were to become fashionable it'd be cpp in short order ?
Thu Dec 03 03:22:43 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> \but smoking is not, just like sitting like a man is not ok. because one's "intentional" and the other "intentional-once-removed" and so one correlates with the bad gender.

"when i do so and so this is the bt resultant".
Sun Nov 22 14:07:32 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> "hosting fees are expensive" my foot. they're only expensive because "oh i just wanna be a designer" all over the place.
Fri Nov 20 12:46:41 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> <punkman> the latest pill against malleability << no, the latest in "gotta serve the customer" because "customer has come to expect" that "he just wants to".
Thu Nov 19 15:00:42 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> so, yeah. the herd has won through the age old tactic of "we'll just stick together". because you thought that unions and "collective acton" was good.
Tue Nov 17 13:57:52 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> anyway, the guy has a point, and szabo's theory is not merely just silly, it's a sympthom of a larger western pathology (he's basically looking for an excuse, ANY excuse, just as long as it doesn't come to *a better quality of people*, because he's nuts with this racism bullcrap like the rest of the anglos.)
Sun Nov 15 14:34:50 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo you know, just because "the press" that got kicked off campus is claiming some derps as representative for a group they hate doesn't mean all that much.

Sat Nov 07 04:46:37 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> "I'm pretty sure that's Charlize Theron, not Scarlett Johansson." And I'm pretty sure they're the same person, and just because now she's Rachel Maddow doesn't mean she's serious.
