http://www.marathon-studios.com/i mircea_popescu: but by now i suspect they're mostly artificially agitated.
mircea_popescu: see, i can appreciate this "1880 street urchin or ru peasant sedated by malnutrition is 'calm'", except the first part is strictly incorrect ; and yet... there's a counter recorded also.
mircea_popescu: seems the old guy's pushing the young guy to be agitated there. for profit.
mircea_popescu: i don't think it is normal ; i think it was common, in america, in the 20th century. but not really otherwise.
mircea_popescu: heck, if supercharged enough IT CAN EVEN GO TO 1880 and still nada.
mircea_popescu: a supercharged tachyon can traverse the whole galaxy and not find any matter to interact with.
mircea_popescu: these dudes/dudettes figuring "they should change the world" or w/e the fuck they're figuring, i have no idea. average joe on a mission of ruining his own life because too much tv.
mircea_popescu: i just meant settle down in the general sense ; they're kids that ate too much sugary goop.
mircea_popescu: this is the trouble with "modern democracy"-es throughout history, they overinnervate the average joe. it's like amphetamine on a historical scale.

mircea_popescu: and to delve into mircea_popescu> there's no way for mass market restaurant to compete with dedicated cook of your own training << tis not a matter of it being you know, the evil capitalist being mean and bad for the evulz. it's that they fucking can't. period. girl can, and will, and does make mayo out of eggs and olive oil. how the fuck is 3 man restaurant to do this ? they can't do this. they have to buy it.
mircea_popescu: i doubt this. it's more of a cost on women than on men, to begin with.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea, but i am persuaded such planet'd suck big time.
mircea_popescu: and just the fact that i can say what i want, and then it magically appears while i irc... what restaurant can do this.
mircea_popescu: but yes, my cheap home meals still are outrageous to the guy to whom fiddy bucks'd better be dinner movie + blowjob. and sure, it can be that. ar arby's!
mircea_popescu: so you know ... is it expensive ? well no, if i had to chez victor every day i'd be looking at 1/4 mn p a bills.

mircea_popescu: girls do a lot of home cooking. you've never had better bread ; or sweets ; or sauces of all kinds ; or soups, or what have you. but is it cheap or is it expensive ? they can not beat the 2.50 mcd meal ; or the 7 dollars for a pound of hershey's sugar goop. which is what people usually complaining of the cost of "natural living" usually eat.

mircea_popescu: tis not a problem of means and averages asciilifeform ; tis a problem of the definition of terms. there's always exceptions, what's "children" mean, what's "smoking" to be etcetera. and there's no properly systematic way to solve these in any field that is interesting.

mircea_popescu: "What is almost nonexistent is the childfree housewife - a woman who does not do market labor, is supported by her husband, but does not have children." << bullshit ; slavegirl counts here.
mircea_popescu: heck, it's amply documented how britain throughout its rise and preeminence treaded middle class children as exactly war captives, even going so far as to switch them around so natural affection won't entice the female to get in the way of mistreatment.
