mircea_popescu: now, which was prevalent in antiquity and decayed over time, and which grew over time and was prevalent by the late republic ?
mircea_popescu: there were some special rituals for this.
mircea_popescu: out of the hand signified that the woman remained (no dude, no fucking free agent women, wtf is this) the property of her father.
mircea_popescu: marrying into the hand of the husband signified that the woman became his property, like any other slave (with some exceptions, such as can't be given in lieu of the damage like common slave), and was achieved through continuous cohabitation (one year with no break longer than two days)
asciilifeform: aha i recall this
mircea_popescu: in the hand, and out of the hand.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the greek world was mostly "land, cowoman separate". the early roman world similarily, but consider : the roman law knew two (principal, we'll omit the half dozen or so special, patrician only, priesthood styles) kinds of marriage :
mircea_popescu: because that's the fundamental difference across the northern ocean -- left, landwoman, right, cowoman.
asciilifeform: i'ma guess that in mircea_popescu cosmography , well-oiled, early rome was sabine-powered; later - 'cow'-powered ?
mircea_popescu: but does land come with women ? is this a construct, landwomen, upon which to find a place for yourself ? or does land come without anything or anymore, and is woman another sort of cow for you to work upon it ?
asciilifeform: gold , yes, can bring ( tho witness what happened when spain brought. ) land - nope
asciilifeform: the traditional picture is that folx went for land. and it ain't as if you can bring it back to old europistan.
mircea_popescu: the ~other~ available heuristic, likely weaker but reaching further into the past, is to observe that the moor ~strangles~ desdemona, doesn't raise her princess little venetian-aspirant daugthers.
mircea_popescu: the sad counter to thyis is to observe that the actual russians -- too dumb to even go.
mircea_popescu: i will readily grant that the "russians" ~only stayed because actually, they were jews.
mircea_popescu: consider one point -- russians, romanians, germans all went "la america" in the 1800s. the russians and germans -- stayed. the romanians -- returned.
asciilifeform: where on planet3 is the wholesome, noncuckoldating land ?
mircea_popescu: cuckoldry in the americas has not perceptibly changed, i suspect it's driven by the very land. same exact item as before euros showed up, really.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact -- they were.
mircea_popescu: so, yes. i can very much picture rockefeller kids named whateverjin, but in the sense meaningful cca 1817 rather than in the 2017 sense.
mircea_popescu: so now to answer the orig. question : this miner from the french german lands was no particular religious fellow. his wife however -- was.
asciilifeform: ( per mircea_popescu's old piece, 'the men who ought to have been crewing german freighters, were instead in philadelphia, unloading american ones' or how did it go )
mircea_popescu: notice that the hitler-stalin pact actually made a lot more sense historically than the two nuts realised.
asciilifeform: the backbone of the americans
mircea_popescu: j p rockefeller, rhineland miner, the german rather than the russian parentage of "american"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the TRULY AMUSING part being that those, also russian immigrants!
a111: Logged on 2017-12-31 17:18 mircea_popescu: the woj chickies ? kinda remind me of http://trilema.com/2012/test-de-curvidentificare-vizuala/
asciilifeform slept through this
mircea_popescu: you recall brin the elder ?
mircea_popescu: (latter brin's children are called "wojin", if you can imagine that.)
mircea_popescu: well, either that or married what's her name and had portmanteau kiddos with her.
asciilifeform: just didn't turn out to be the valhalla the f-students imagined.
asciilifeform: it happened tho. teacher -- took his chalkboard and went home, to drink
mircea_popescu: dude... what is this, jr high ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, what'll the teacher do, if he flunks all of us he can't be a teacher anymore, he needs us"
asciilifeform: i suppose you can propell yer charior with farts of not-giving-a-shit then
asciilifeform: ( shoot the slowest one every morning... )
asciilifeform: if you apply this insight literally, you end up with 0 horses in yer cart, rather than an infinitely fast set
mircea_popescu: you know what a lazy eye is ? same exact fucking principle -- moves slower than its brother, =lazy.
mircea_popescu: the slowest horse in a pack of horses is the laziest horse in the pack of horses.
mircea_popescu: that your arm "dun work" especially in the "as well as neighbour's" flavour <
mircea_popescu: men too lazy to feed self are still complete, and still SHOULD feed self.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what mom does with them is of no interest./
asciilifeform: and what's the formula for who -- in nuthouse, and who -- not ? 'subclinical' vs 'clinical' neh
mircea_popescu: it works if you work it, now gert to work.
mircea_popescu: physiology is no criteria upon anatomy. that your arm "dun work" especially in the "as well as neighbour's" flavour is very strictly no proof of "broken arm".
asciilifeform: i had nfi this was controversial. folx 'so lazy' that won't feed selves -- end up today typically in nuthouse
mircea_popescu: this is tulpa talk, no more,.
mircea_popescu: not true.
asciilifeform: if so lazy that won't bother to 'dip them' -- then yes, not complete
mircea_popescu: that's not how that works.
mircea_popescu: much like the aztecs were a complete country when the spanish state showed up.
asciilifeform: that's the key, them folx were never 'complete country'
mircea_popescu: that's too meta for this conversation.
asciilifeform: it was a remainder from the j00z not yet nailed elsewhere
mircea_popescu: not like all the men were away threshing in lusitania.
asciilifeform: ( and most of the remainder -- the old, the female, the diseased, the zeks who did 0 soldiering, attempted or otherwise )
BingoBoingo: Very lulzy are the Lopez regimes in nearby Paraguay
mircea_popescu: even milling will wear down the knives a little.
mircea_popescu: the заградотряд process doth not promise 0 losses among the guards ; merely ~manageable~ (as opposed to womanageable) losses.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has a quite selective reading of the warsaw incident. 1000+ of the warsaw pile -- were german
mircea_popescu: ie, no dumb cunt had the opportunity to tell rando mirvnik that "you baby are precious and bla bla bla".
mircea_popescu: need a certain sort of rural for that to work, for the exact reason that "used to be easier when all it took was water which could be applied at birth."
mircea_popescu: similarily if you went with machine guns into campus of your choice, the output will be pile of bodies, not red army. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: they -- more advanced on path to ustardianism than cossacks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have no doubt that red army is exactly what happened to the jews in warsaw.
mircea_popescu: but meanwhile the secretions got thicker and stickier.
asciilifeform: 'it takes a brave man to be a coward in red army' (tm)(r)
mircea_popescu: used to be easier when all it took was water which could be applied at birth.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no 'what-ifs', заградотряд with mg at their back
mircea_popescu: practically speaking, washing the cunt off your eyes today means "getting rid of precious cuntled syndrome at some point before senescence"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ah, it is a mix. The Uruguayos did defeat the Brits to retake Montevideo. But against the second Brazilian emperor...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the products of modern woman can not plug anything, because "what if there's a better use of their priceless person later on"
mircea_popescu: i've no doubt soon the day the ocean ate their sub "manned by very competent idiots in our own estimation" will get similar treatment, "day of victory over the marine element"
mircea_popescu: eg, argentina celebrates the day of its defeat in the faulklands as "victory over whatever" day.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno, they can just as readily plug embrasures as anybody
BingoBoingo: Un poquito relatit... Many of the streets here are named after dates on the calendar. Routinely the dates mark military victories against the empires won by anywhere from a dozen to three dozen men and their assembled serfs
mircea_popescu: well yes, but in the meanwhile some "uses" are less evidently wasteful than others.
asciilifeform: the mega-discovery of the 2000s is that the folx with 0ballsack cannot be used ~for anything~
mircea_popescu: they were blinded at birth by their despicable mothers.
mircea_popescu: "different skillsets" are needed for either approach, which is a polite way of saying that your doods have no ballsacs.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how does that work ?
asciilifeform: not masking tape.
asciilifeform: if you have the requisite number of d00dz , the +ev strategy is to issue rifles and go and take by the sword.
BingoBoingo: Senor Vulpes y Senor Dushenski tienen ninos
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: '1980s toolchain' was a room full of d00dz with black electrical tape.
BingoBoingo: Well, can the 1980's or schoolbook toolchain be used, but for smaller fab process.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-01 14:29 asciilifeform: actually this is a mega-snoar, looks like the makers used 100% western toolchain, even macrocells
asciilifeform: ru, for instance, pointedly ~did~ gabriel_laddelize the elbrus.
mircea_popescu: yes well you'll have to put in more than hashers.
asciilifeform: (in turkeydollar.)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you wanted to do this for real, vs. gabriel_laddelization, cost is roughly comparable to a moon flight.
BingoBoingo: Find fab that has 14-22 nm process, make simple multicore MIPS and a MUSL'd cuntoo for it
mircea_popescu: well... indeed. dun have to.
mircea_popescu: funny bit being that i recall some "not serious" guy explaining this is exactly how empire will decay. empire was liek "oh, our conversation dun need to include that!"
asciilifeform: 'good noose, they'll need 10x the boxes to serve same # of cloudzeks'
mircea_popescu: "install this new kernel to make your computer slower"
mircea_popescu: but the similarities with http://btcbase.org/log/2015-09-18#1278730 ftr ☝︎
asciilifeform: but , to borrow mircea_popescu's formulation, 'unspeakabled'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was hammer-in-face obvious after the ~original~ rowhammer demo
