mircea_popescu: too many good places to waste away, most of which also give away pills, along with the food. why bother.

mircea_popescu: this magic is called context by the more perverse euros.
mircea_popescu: the secret i'm sharing is that there's no monogamous relationship with reality : looking at any of them nude doesn't end your relationship. with any of them.

☝︎ mircea_popescu: do you know why there's no alf in russia, alf ? because they shot all of you. for this reason.
mircea_popescu: i recall the fellow not digesting my pointing out to him that his calls, opinions ideas etc on some topic he had nothing to do weren't interesting ; dunno what exactly the adherence was. maybe this, yeah.
