mod6: bogota is supposed
to be uber dangerous area, you figure, let's inspect
this danger. only
to find, no one is even
there!
mp_en_viaje: how
the fuck can an empty street be dangerous ? what's it gonna do, fall on you ?
mp_en_viaje: you should see how fucking deserted
the streets are. maaaybe five people per mile, of which four police. DANGEROUS
mp_en_viaje: bogota night life is like buenos aires night life, present in
the form of a choir invisible only.
mp_en_viaje: ns
the phone off, because
totally,
that's
the way
to win.
mp_en_viaje: as far as anyone knows,
the only bdsm
thing in
this 8 mn strong city is an item calling itself "club sweet perversions" and limiting self
to a facebook page, because why
the fuck not, right. if you call
their number (319 2137590) some dorky woman
tells you it's on caracas and 62nd. except when you actually get
there and
there's no such
thing (just a buncha
three story love hotels with overexcited porters
trying
to get you
to park in!!!).
then she

the only way
to detect overflow on risc-v is
the algo i used in ffa.
mp_en_viaje: who knows, maybe gnat even
turns out
to have ai.
mp_en_viaje: heck, whole republic is nigh on predicated on it, "observe item almost work, invite it
to genesis".
phf: given
the general going ons i wouldn't mind "basic instinct of manhood" as a kind of working baseline,
to improve upon later
mp_en_viaje: anyway, nothing wrong with
the basic instinct of manhood, it gave us domesticated dog and so on.
mp_en_viaje: (when i'm sick -- you'd better be
there with
the soup!)
mp_en_viaje: and cook well and love you in
the seinfeld sense
phf: particularly when all
these scenarios have a consistent "and she
turned out
to be a pretty girl" punch line
phf: oh it
totally makes sense
mp_en_viaje: i expect
the "observe whore, invite
to work for me" is more like a phase in sexual life of adolescent.
mp_en_viaje: phf, i spotted lots, mostly getting
the butt pocket. nfi why people kept wallets in
there in
the 80s
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, a no, lower middle class sorta gals beffudled at "omg lobster is so much more expensive
than hamburger paste" "a dollar ?" "YES!"
phf: when i was a child i wanted
to be able
to catch a pickpocket, in
the process, and
then invite him
to work for me (i'm not sure doing what, but you know build a
team of highly skilled
thieves or somesuch), kind of like how it was in
the opener of
Thief game. unfortunately by
the
time i actually had money
to cary, it didn't seem like a particularly interesting idea
mp_en_viaje: it boggled my mind, but
then it
turned out common practice.
mp_en_viaje: stolen cc prolly worth more
than average orc pockets contents
mp_en_viaje: so
the pickpocket is both very attentive and very easily discouraged.
mp_en_viaje: where do you keep your dough, affixed with chewing gum
to
the back of your shoe ?
mp_en_viaje: sorta like how soccer, or "politicians are
thieves" worked in 90s post warsaw pact world. reliable agreement items.
mp_en_viaje: notice
that kid coming in here wants
to
talk
to us about... yes ? security!
mp_en_viaje: by now securitywank is
the premier, if not only left, avenue of strangers
talk.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 02:19 mp_en_viaje: other anecdote : different woman, ~same age, warned ~me~
to put my wad away,
there's
thieves.
this one, you see, hadn't yet accepted her age. so she was being useful, "if you had one like me, your cash would be so protected. ask me
to follow ?"
mp_en_viaje: "boy who believes mother will never get himself laid, because mother
tells him
things
that'll help girl
to know not
to fuck him". society neh.
mp_en_viaje: phf,
there is such a
thing as a snatcher, and such a
thing as a pickpocket.
though... social behaviours serve social purposes. "it's dangerous!!!" for instance works very well for selection. anecdote : ro consul introduced pretty girl, intern at embassy. over sushi she confessed her unimpressment in local boys, "i was walking down candeleria and
these dorks were lke o no, it's gotten dark, it's dangerous and soon enough made
themselves scarce. wel...
mp_en_viaje: religious fanatics going about yelling "our church of santa fe de mit is da premiere
technologistical church IN DE WERLD"
phf: short of direct robbery i'm always mystified by
this
thieves
thing.
thank you, i utterly lack spatial awareness and if not for your warning i would've had
this wad of cash yanked straight outta my hand!
mp_en_viaje: they're a false macho culture. like
the us is a false
technical culture.
phf: there's women so poor, purses contain everything of value
they have in general
mp_en_viaje: other anecdote : different woman, ~same age, warned ~me~
to put my wad away,
there's
thieves.
this one, you see, hadn't yet accepted her age. so she was being useful, "if you had one like me, your cash would be so protected. ask me
to follow ?"
☟︎ phf: i
thought
they were a macho culture
though, seems like it would be "zapadlo"
to make woman protect your possessions for you
mp_en_viaje: sorta like how girl might ask dood
to hold on
to her keys in gringolandia
mp_en_viaje: i fully expect
that aspiring middle class adolescents do
this as a courtship
thing, dood asks girl he fancies
to "hold on
to his wallet" in her purse or something.
mp_en_viaje: how, just HOW!!!! could
the purse not be
the definitive holder of all value!
mp_en_viaje: to warn her not
to go with purse open like
that,
there's
thieves!
to which i retorted
that
theres nothing of value in
there anyway, which completely blocked her.
mp_en_viaje: also, you know, very matriarchal structure, somehow. anecdote : bought some i dun recall what from respectable (and very competent, and eager
to do well) middle aged woman in shop. as we left she called girl back, all worried like,
phf: you'd know it was
the real deal if
they were selling shillelaghs instead
mp_en_viaje: 100% how
the item would look if made by people who saw but never used crops.
mp_en_viaje: utterly
terrible. i nearly bought one for its cargo cult quality
mp_en_viaje: and in other lulz, sex
toy's shop (nfi why
the dildo store needs
the possessive plural, but it is very common) had fustas (crops)
phf: not enough clearance for
the head, perhaps if only across
mp_en_viaje: phf, on an office
table ? why,
to chastise
the poor girl ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i meant
the current item,
the blessed ipad where yellen adds
the zeroes
phf: they are perhaps
there for fucking
mp_en_viaje: i mean,
the ottoman before
the bed. yes. yes ofcourse. but
this ?
mp_en_viaje: aha. who
the fuck even uses
those
things ?
mp_en_viaje: btw, in other lulz :
the "executive suite" here has corner desk. in case i'm you know, so used
to my vp corner office i would fill remiss without
the L item.
mp_en_viaje: yaya. who's gonna show
them what's inside.
mp_en_viaje: nobody in usgistan saw
the printingpress either.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, yes. what,
this is surprising ?
phf: well,
they won't see it either,
the whole adventure is organize by a swiss middle man, utmost discretion
phf: that's where you're just groped by
two brazilian lads. of course
there's also
the executive package, 20000eur, where you're forced
to perform mildly degrading sexual acts in front of a masked audience
mp_en_viaje: ie, "there's
this neighbourhood,
they kidnap 2-3
tourists each
they. but generally
they reappear a day or
two later, clothes all ragged up and all dizzy like" "sounds like a helluva party"
mp_en_viaje: ive nfi specifically. but on
the strength of eyewitness reports, both cali and medellin are just about where
they were 20 / 50 ya
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, recently
they had some somer odf disarmament deal, saw person
today aggitating for farc
to be included as voting bloc in
their electroal process...
phf: in 2009 or so, if you did ue at night,
there was always a person who was body aware, who would've heard of parkour or was practicing it. shit, half of america was doing parkour in
the 05? 15? i don't remember
phf: yeah, but
they saw
the youtube of same
mp_en_viaje: usians read french, so much so it alters
their behaviour ?
mp_en_viaje: phf, but i have my doubts
they ever saw
the underground mags. for one hand, half of
them hand made, for other in french
mp_en_viaje: "african is only good for muscles/big dick" + "do not step on
the grass" => parkour. "we
tell you when you can have a drink" + "MILITARY SIKRITS" -
this
thinghow you call it
phf: actually, yeah! it
travels, sometimes directly sometimes indirectly. i mean,
there's definitely a direct connection between 1990s parkour and early 00s missile silo photography
mp_en_viaje: (note
the parallelism is VERY marked --
that was attempt of body-fetishized africans
to retake a space
that was very hostile.
this -- muchly also)
phf: well, but ue has a long line of doings, likewise livejournal has a long line of doings. so happens
that
the
two long lines connect at some historic point, because both on certain
trajectories
mp_en_viaje: cuz
they saw 1990s french algerian parkour mags ?
