mircea_popescu: "That's the trick of Shame. "He's an attractive, wealthy, guy with a big penis (did you see it, ladies?) but he's not using it properly..." Brandon's sex addiction makes him very un-desirable, no one watches Shame and says, "wow, I want to be Brandon" and no woman says, "wow, I want to be with Brandon." The opposite is true for Tucker Max, who is popular with women, especially the very women that he "degrades." Now

mircea_popescu: i think it might be about three or four different oens tho

mircea_popescu: " Sex addiction rarely breaks laws so it can't be punished, and there's no God so the immorality of it is debatable, i.e. inconsequential. It must be a disease, that way other people don't want to catch it. All psychiatric treatment of constructed syndromes isn't about cure but about regression to the mean, where mean= cubicle drone. " not even, just... please believe that monogynous fambly is the only fambly and it

mircea_popescu: "i know nothing about how kernels work but i'm 36 and i don't think the nielsen box in my house does enough to mess up society - here's some rephrasing i've done in my mysteriously abundant spare time"

mircea_popescu: ddicts we see in movies and on the news are: rock stars, politicians, sports guys, CEOs. If you think about the demo primed to receive this depiction of lothario as sex addict-- women over 35, i.e. the demo for Shame-- sex addiction needs to be seen as terrible because it is terrible for them. It may also be terrible for the sex addict, but fuck you, we have a society to run."

mircea_popescu: i suppose it goes on the to-do list once someone myseriously disappears.

mircea_popescu: i suppose "an actual cryptovault you will never, ever crack" goes into the pile of things the republic is going to strike back with if rattled enough.

mircea_popescu: Short of cauterizing your own genitals, nothing seems like it would change who you are like speaking in an-other's language. Blech, I'd rather wear someone else's underwear, no thanks, I'll take the 12 credits but no way am I retaining anything."

mircea_popescu: seems the entire "bitcoin is for crymynalzzzz" is more of the same "i wish i was cool, maybe if i put this hat on ?"

mircea_popescu: i assassinated buterin, lolski, derpersson, whoever. no need for a "market".

mircea_popescu: word. "why can't i quit pop culture ?" "because to you it's a solution, not a problem."

mircea_popescu: yet i am a self-deluded imbecile, who imagines she still has something to say in spite of that.

mircea_popescu: "Disclaimer: I am not a kernel programmer, so I may have am certain I have misinterpreted some of the technical aspects of Linus’s original post."

mircea_popescu: The reason I think women are hot today is that they are today, not that they are hot. I watch pornos from the seventies and I think to myself, "well, it would be better than bestiality, I guess."

mircea_popescu: i wager no fucking higher power would as much as sneeze on this one.

mircea_popescu: lately. Now that I'm nearing the end of my academic career, I'm starting to freak out about my career potential, and the related anxiety has me neglecting school work even further."

mircea_popescu: "I'm an economics major who doesn't know what the hell he is going to do for a career after graduating, and frankly doesn't feel qualified to do very much. I went into university thinking that I would try for medical school, but I was one of those kids in high school who got good grades without trying very hard, and my nearly non-existent study habits have left me with a C average, although even that has been slipping

mircea_popescu: o wait. now i understand.

mircea_popescu: i'd fucking run it, if i were running breguet.

mircea_popescu: i watched it because of tlp's idiotic fixation on basinger and an insistence on "white heels". a) she wears no heels at all ; b) she is as hot as my doorman.

mircea_popescu: i am of the firm belief that an adult male with wealth and a monofambly is a liability to both the wife and the children.

mircea_popescu: an random dumb broad, i recall. no i didn't read it.

mircea_popescu: another fun fact : i never met anyone who actually wore those things

mircea_popescu: i might be the only male alive dictating high heel usage as to type and so forth.

mircea_popescu: i find the pastoral images soothing ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i'd rather rewatch lorna than look at "hollywood does floppy disks"

mircea_popescu: there's also a bunch of chicks that are kinda worth fucking that will be old before i get around to them

mircea_popescu: i'd rather watch namibian television reports about wall street

mircea_popescu: phf i really can't watch anything with/about computers

mircea_popescu: she's moved into a zsa zsa gabor phase before being 35. clinging to headlines with stuipid shit like "i took the fat out of my tits and replaced it with oil to support BP and Shell!"

mircea_popescu: i find references to cannae very hurtful and unnecessary for my roman republican heritage.

mircea_popescu: now i feel like a girl foreals.

mircea_popescu: reading http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/02/what_would_you_do_if_your_fian_1.html i realise nothing in the past decade makes me as happy as biel's fizzling.

mircea_popescu: also for the people interested in economics : i'm tinkering out the s.mg report, should be interesting.

mircea_popescu: shinohai i thought you were in the states, what is this, ltr ?

mircea_popescu: i thought that's CFdK

mircea_popescu: "I have more than a thousand rules: specific detailed rules about how to hold your chopsticks and your bowl, how to pick up food, how to hold a cup, how to sleep, how to cover yourself with a quilt," Xiao says. "If you don't follow the rules, then I must beat you." ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i find it impossible not to love linus at first sight. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i dun think anybody does pity sex outside of livresque context.
