asciilifeform: 11:35 <+mircea_popescu> generally, better a clever girl that thinks herself dumb than a dumb girl that thinks she must be clever. << how about CLEVER girl that thinks itself clever
asciilifeform: 11:31 <+mircea_popescu> phf i dunno fucking comprehend the disdain affected (perhaps to the point of believing themselves) by intellectual folk re the pro sluts. << nonono i just loathe the hump of the bell curve, sluts, no sluts, whatever
asciilifeform: then at the end of the day will put'em back in, rinse, repeat.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i argued that giving equal haircut to (1) and (2) is a communist idiocy.
