BingoBoingo: Especially not manhattan [01:18]
mircea_popescu: pretty fucking lulzy to look back in the timeline and stumble over perfect calls. [01:19]
BingoBoingo: Seriously. Lately I've been enjoying the private satisfaction of Colita de Cuadril passing "Suprema de Ave" as the premium protein per peso cut of critter [01:20]
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-14-feb-2019#2519682 : smoked sprats served with penne al'olio, with vinegar pickles on the side and a sprinkling of capers is easily the most representatively venetian dish i ever had -- notwithstanding as far as i know i just invented it in my own kitchen [01:20]
a111: Logged on 2019-02-14 19:28 mircea_popescu: because they're talking veneto. [01:20]

mircea_popescu: is this the dumb fat fuck from iowa ? [01:25]
BingoBoingo: Nah, the wannabe muscle dude. Looks almost exactly like Stomer's Anglin in 320x240 photos [01:26]
BingoBoingo: Iowa is just about all fat fucks. That's pig county [01:26]
BingoBoingo: Sample of the HamNo mentality https://archive.is/WtEVs [01:29]
BingoBoingo: "CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY HAVE THAT SHIT IN THEIR CONTRACT? IF I HAD KNOWN THAT WAS EVEN A POSSIBILITY I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO GET THAT IN MY OWN DAMN CONTRACT. YOU CAN’T LAY ME OFF, EVER? YOU MUST FIND ME A NEW JOB IN PERPETUITY? I HAVE BECOME KING OF THE WORKPLACE AND ALL I SURVEY. THE MIGHTY UNION HAS GRANTED US ALL A JOB FOR LIFE. BOW DOWN." [01:29]

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/modernism-and-traditionalism/#selection-489.1-511.1 strangely related. [01:42]
BingoBoingo: It's a mad world [01:43]
mircea_popescu: billymg, some dood bought it in bankruptcy proceedings last year. "23 million '''''''''visitors''''''''' " commanded ~$1.5mn. contrasting with http://trilema.com/2011/evaluari-rationale-in-ro/#comment-86130 one can peg intervening inflation at 300% over seven years. [01:43]
mircea_popescu: (which is actually quite close to reality certainly way the fuck close than anything reported by usg bureaucracy) [01:44]
mircea_popescu: i mean BingoBoingo [01:48]
BingoBoingo: What can I say, the future is autocorrupt [01:52]
mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-30#1906140 : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234966 factually still a firefox bug today, FIFTEEN YEARS. [03:10]

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in olds, asciilifeform's 'xor 2 small numbers'+'say fg baud' spam filter seems to be 100% effective (a 1st?!) -- 0 spams in trap since installed ( legit comments , not many , but work -- tho there were never many ) [11:49]
mircea_popescu: a spam trap with 0 spams in it is not much of a trap hm ? [12:02]
asciilifeform: lol reduntant heh [12:02]
asciilifeform: *redundant [12:02]
mircea_popescu: oic [12:02]
asciilifeform: ( it's the stock ancient-wp trap ) [12:03]
mircea_popescu: "since stuffing buttplugs in all the slavegirls buttholes, there's 0 HS in the toilet gastrap. and their assholes still work, i checked -- though they never saw much use before either." [12:03]
asciilifeform: well no, wouldn't be interesting then, they still manage to take occasional shit [12:04]
mircea_popescu: "my concubine -- just when i figured she's about to deliver, she turned out to be fulla shit." [12:04]
asciilifeform: ( dozen or so actual comments since glued in ) [12:04]
asciilifeform: i gotta bake a 'recent comments' thing like mircea_popescu has , tho ( possibly will crib from his ) [12:05]
mircea_popescu: whainot. [12:05]
asciilifeform: when i get a chance to fiddle with my wp again, tho, would 1st like to find & kill the uniturdation thing [12:06]
asciilifeform: presently i have nfi where it is [12:06]
mircea_popescu: which ? [12:06]
asciilifeform: where it corrupts quotes, ellipsis, longstrokes, into uniturds [12:06]
mircea_popescu: oh. lmao. [12:07]
asciilifeform: i cant fathom presently why that is even in there. but possibly this q dun have a logical answr [12:07]
mircea_popescu: the evil wreckers of the 90s were systematic in their dedication to destruction (called "democracy" and "humanism" whatevber bla bla in-universe) [12:07]
asciilifeform: even through ~this~ lens, seems peculiar. ( what does it achieve for'em, to litter www with бнопня вхрюк [12:09]
mircea_popescu: they perceive that opposition===conservative and their understanding of "conservative" is "would never break with tradition" [12:09]
mircea_popescu: a mistake powered by the fact that up until they came about tradition consisted of naggum's library. so of copurse thinking man wouldn't part with it. [12:10]
asciilifeform: for lack of any other hypothesis, i'ma buy [12:10]
mircea_popescu: the most disconcerting thing to pantsuit is the http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/ stance. [12:10]
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean, you will burn ALL the books ?!?!" "of course i will, keks." [12:10]
mircea_popescu: so in their view, the fact that the uniturds ~are already there~ binds us to forever keeping them. [12:11]
asciilifeform: i.e. 'dun matter that you took the sweat to write it in king's english, we're gonna throw hieroglyphs in' ? [12:11]
asciilifeform: makes sense [12:12]
mircea_popescu: just like in their view, the fact that they befouled science with their politico idiocy means something about science. they didn't, by their lights, made the profession of "earth scientist" nigh on impossible for the average man. they, on the contrary, are forcing my hand when it comes to such topics.

diana_coman: " Were Trilema as small as you ever wish it to be, an ephemeride living its day of life in the shadow of the largest Egyptian pyramid, yet what would be the deepest difference between Trilema and that pyramid ?

(good measure too, the tubs these people drove before it... jesus f. even now you see trucks dead in middle of onramp cuz unmaintained engine finally croaked etc) [17:09]
Mocky: a couple years ago they bumped the penalty for fake sticker up from violation to misdemeanor. and also added it to the auto-plate-scanning-database system in most cop cars so alarm goes off for cop every time a car with expired inspection in the morning database goes past. [17:12]
Mocky: for motorcycles tho, they check lights and tires only. NC is not strict like NY, more like how asciilifeform describes. [17:14]

  1. According to third-party web analytics provider SimilarWeb, the site had over 23 million visits per month as of 2015. Current status Defunct as of August 22nd, 2016

    Got any questions? Let's talk
    hey, how come you don't list trilema.com? it's like, top 500 in adult niche, what gives.
    12:42 PM
    Can't wait for my reply?

    PornDude
    hi
    12:43 PM
    hey/
    12:43 PM
    PornDude
    trilema?
    12:44 PM
    https://www.similarweb.com/website/trilema.com
    12:44 PM
    PornDude
    how is this a porn site?
    12:44 PM
    cuz like http://trilema.com/?magic=adult
    12:45 PM
    PornDude
    most of that site's traffic are display ads
    people stay for 13 seconds
    I don't even what know what the site is about at first glance
    I still don't know
    12:46 PM
    ok... but it's still bigger than most other things you review, yeah?
    12:47 PM
    PornDude
    I review porn sites
    this site isn't a porn site
    and most of the traffic that it received is purchased
    12:48 PM
    if we go through the list, most of the traffic will be purchased everywhere.
    it's how traffic works, yes.
    12:48 PM
    PornDude
    I'm not even sure why you're recommending this site to me
    12:49 PM
    hey, similarweb lists it as adult.
    12:49 PM
    PornDude
    check it yourself
    where do you see porn?
    12:49 PM
    nothing else you review is above it.
    so i was curious about your logic.
    12:49 PM
    PornDude
    or how is this a site that deserves to be listed
    I'm still figuring out what it is
    every time you refresh the website, it shows a different blog post
    randomly taken from their archive
    12:50 PM
    well like http://trilema.com/2019/usta-swingers-club-ul-jozefa-strusia-5-in-warsaw-poland-and-other-things/?b=So bring&e=its#select or http://trilema.com/2019/kotelna/?b=t life&e=fun#select
    it's not ONLY porn, it's crossover, which... you know, it's the '20s, not the 90s anymore.
    if you stick with http://trilema.com/?magic=adult it's straight porn. even if you refresh.
    12:52 PM
    PornDude
    nobody cares about that site, when I check the stats
    and as I said, I'm still figuring out what the site's main concept is
    it's also outdated as fuck
    no https
    12:53 PM
    let's try a different approach. https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/trilema.com
    anything on your list in xxxx alexa? not even half, right?
    12:53 PM
    PornDude
    looks like it was made in the early days of the internet and hasn't been updated ever since
    what does it matter what kind of alexa or similarweb ranking a site has?
    and as I said, most of its traffic is purchased
    I can make a site top 100 tomorrow, if I buy traffic for it
    12:54 PM
    hey, that's the question. what do you think matters?
    but i mean, this is so fucking weird... "i could have a ferrari too, if i bought it". oookay? this means something?
    12:54 PM
    PornDude
    honestly, I'm not sure what you're trying to do
    if you like that website, alright, but the majority of people don't
    12:55 PM
    your site is actually #102 on similarweb ; and you do buy some traffic, like everyone.
    12:55 PM
    pretty much NOTHING you review is, though. i mean you've got the top sites there, brazzers, whatever, which honestly, nobody visits because they read your review. and then you got... nothing on a stick, cookie cutter bs like ... i dunno, take letsdoeit.com
    it doesn't get 5% of the traffic trilema gets, so any discussion of "most people" is moot -- the rest of the 95% aren't even there to not like it.
    12:59 PM
    PornDude
    hey, nobody is forcing you to visit ThePornDude
    if you think trilema is the next best thing, that's your opinion
    1:00 PM
    that's all fine, but i was curious if there's some logic at work or just whatever, inertia, "i don't know wehat it is so it doesn't exist".
    maybe i don't understand something.
    1:01 PM
    PornDude
    as I said, the first thing what should be clear when you visit a website is its concept
    what does it stand for
    what is it about
    1:01 PM
    apparently it's about mystery, what the fuck do i know.
    1:01 PM
    PornDude
    satisfy a customer's need, as easy and as fast as possible
    so I'm looking for porn
    you show me trilema
    so where's the porn?
    you already lost me
    and that's me, ThePornDude lol
    what do you think the average porn visitor will do?
    1:03 PM
    well, i gave you a coupla links, what can i say.
    1:03 PM
    PornDude
    think about it
    I'm looking for porn and I end up on trilema
    where's the porn?
    it's a maze
    1:03 PM
    evidently the average porn visitor goes on trilema. in fact, more averagte porn visitors go to trilema than any other site you review. this is a fact, unless you're gonna replace the actual traffic measurements with your say so.
    1:03 PM
    you know how a lot of people used to pretend they're on playboy "to read the articles"?
    that hasn't changed.
    1:05 PM
    PornDude
    that's why tube sites killed all the blogs...
    1:05 PM
    apparently not.
    1:05 PM
    look, seriously : your #4 recommendation for premium porn sites, getting utterly creamed : https://www.similarweb.com/website/trilema.com/?competitors=iknowthatgirl.com
    you think 1.3mn compares to 13mn because what? because "Tubes killed blogs"? gimme a break, it's nonsense.
    1:07 PM
    PornDude
    nobody is stopping you from creating your own site, where you recommend trilema
    but if trilema wants to be a top source for porn, it needs to change A LOT
    that's just my opinion
    just as you have yours
    1:08 PM
    fair enough.

    Cute, I guess... it's almost as if they've got a stack of bullshit at the ready and just pop the next item from there "in response" to anything whatsoever. Actually... that's exactly how the pleb "mind" works, ain't it. The lookup table of bullshit, ~= proleAI.

    Anyways, is Alex Pop the new anonyname of the peanut gallery or what.

    Damn, apparently the slight inlineing of my own comments bit it at some point -- probably related to cssing for these log postings ?

    I guess Ima have to have it looked into.
