mircea_popescu: the whole "downshifting" subculture is headed for a serious collision with the bureaucratic tradition. from the etsy "textile creator" and "vintage" "reclaimer" all the way to lazy bums generally there's this entire "we don't need no exit paths wtf are fire extinguishers 50 to the room is good man because we can't just walk up to a girl and tell her to strip and dance". serious fire hazard to say the least.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes even that is two different heads attached to an improbable ettin. there's the slut-feminists, who love the cock and want to basically be the slaves of men they choose ; and the lesbian-feminists (usually abused teens that never got over it) that hate the cock and don't want cocks to exist but insist on stuffing their vagina with you know, rubber dolphins and etc.
mircea_popescu: they're always cute, "oh, someone thinks we're retarded ?!? HOW COULD THIS BE!"

mircea_popescu: 2nd generation immigrant, sold edonkey to barnes&noble, sold okcupid to iac, will sell his highschool sweetheart if it comes to that or no more starbucks.

mircea_popescu: this last thing would be the "different era", ie, before mass literacy filled the desks with cowboys.
mircea_popescu: before the "digg revolution" which subsists today in derpy wanan-be incantations like 9gag, reddit etc, and before the great "internet revolution" of aol shitting all voer the place, there was another substantially identical "revolution", where pointless college degrees started sitting pointessly in offices cca 1970 and creating "office life". but BEFORE all that scum and rot, most dumb kids were farmers, and smart kids were
