mircea_popescu: the particular woman in question was yes, domestic slavegirl, it's a
thing, it works well.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> j was by some accounts an introverted d00d, did not much get along with chix, after his wife died decided
to solve problem 'the sexbot way' << Not 'sexbot way', in
the way his
time and place handled much beloved mistress; such status is indicated by liberation as opposed
to re-sale of
the resultant octaroon children at
their coming of age (as opposed
to Jefferson's death).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is a lot more common
than realised, on account of accomplished adult male not having patience for
the older female only mode of life (the claque).
mircea_popescu: and if
they had been jewish, all her older female relatives would have gotten misty in
the cobweb, "omfg he's a DOCTOR!!!"
mircea_popescu: heck,
they don't wanna fuck
them as it is,
TODAY! look
through
the dating sites,
two
thirds of black female profiles indicate "no black males" in some manner (such as, "no gangstas" or whatever)
mircea_popescu: what exactly am i asked
to believe,
that woman whose name only exists because she was bought by jefferson family somehow had other priorities ? like what, sexual congress with
the black males ? odds are she'd have rather fucked a donkey.
mircea_popescu: the proposition
that
there existed black woman in
the
time discussed who didn't similarily bask in "omfg, WHITE MAN!!! is scratching me between
the legs" is out and out ridiculous anachronism.
mircea_popescu: all
the dogs i ever met were
thrilled
to be scratched behind ears whenever and whichever way you felt like,
the warm glow of "omfg, i am being handled BY HUMAN!!!" visibly overpowering all "thoughts" such as
they had in
their dog brain.

trinque: such racism,
to assume
that sally hemings couldn't possibly have *liked* jefferson.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yes, because
the free strings
they can get hands on were written in 1980 by gosplan as quoted, rather
than in 2000 by perianne boring aspie

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> when usa physical reality finally converges
to
the economic reality, i'd expect revival of
the motorcycle. but for some reason not happened yet <<
This summer
there's been more of
them locally
than in recent history. Much of
the US
though has winter...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: A couple
towns away
there is Vespa/Ural dealer
mircea_popescu: what was
that englishj lulzcar on 3 wheels, we had it in log.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, it didn't
take.
through Mitsubishi years
they did economy
thing with lonely Viper and Neon SRT-4 being only power offerings
that weren't
trucks
mircea_popescu: i
thought
they were
trying for
the economy
thing. didn't
take huh.
BingoBoingo: Also doing
the
thing where
they sell
the public big numbers of horsepower or at least appearance
thereof
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> pagin BingoBoingo ... what do
they do ? ( 'tesla' ?! ) << Fuck
they all drive Dodges!
mircea_popescu: the demographic slices lulz are best enjoyed by
the
traveller btw. in argentina,
they ACTUALLY ADVERTISE "french
technology" in automotive industry.
BingoBoingo: With Mitsubishi itself being
the only Japanese automaker in US whose name is anti-associated with reliability
BingoBoingo: Was Daimler Chrysler with US products being "Diamond Star Motors" or whatever
the fuck mitsubishis
BingoBoingo: Well fiat by buying Chrylser seems
to have went "we were fascist
too, just as better as Daimler Benz" Which previously owned chysler when chrysler was Mitsubishi
BingoBoingo: Alfa Romeo returned
to States recently and is marketing itself being Italian as meaning alt-ferarri
BingoBoingo: Maserati seems
to be
the one I see on road least un-often
BingoBoingo: Everyone else drives crossovers because
they suppose it lives in exact middle
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Last I checked
they did euro supercars and bespoke super suvs.
mircea_popescu: im not so sure consumer crazes are part of
teh gosplan
mircea_popescu: arts actually getting kicked back, jungle
taking over, he wants a MEGA INSANE DYSFUNCTIONAL ITEM (ie, he is now affraid of sense -- because all
thatr sense has
to say
to him is "you're fucked|" )
mircea_popescu: no, i mean from
the following cultural perspective : for as long as road network continues growing,
the user wants massive, impressive beast of a steel machine.
to show his supremacy over
the attendant landscape in proper context (ie, he's affraid of
the wilderness roads expand into). once expansion stops, he wants an efficient little
thing,
to get it over
the next guy (ie, he's affraid of neighbour). and once road network st
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe i misunderstand something, but
that actually should have been an argument for, not against.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you should have seen
that
thing, it was a proper
tenderloin, all of it. which you know, you do if you have a dozen people coming.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how
that 98lb woman could NOT have eaten
the 18 oz porterhouse she served herself in
two days : really doods,
to finally afford 10 bucks wortha meat you gotta be promoted
to floor 51 ?!
mircea_popescu: dig up a new pool,
that she quits her job, and
that
they EAT A STEAK.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i watched last night "fun with dick and jane", which is a fine
throwaway. other
than
tea leoni making a way
the fuck better applegate/bancroft/whatever (these
typically ustardian huswife of businessman roles, where businessman is one of
those schmucks doing nothing, "vp of ziggler-engels" sorta
thyings). but
the interestinfg part is :
the guy gets a promotion.
the signalling signs of
this promotion are,
that

BingoBoingo: Crossover being a
tall station wagon like peak hype cashgrab SUV, except pretense of leaving road abandoned.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It
transformed into "Crossover" craze. iirc pete_dushenski has a blog on
this.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i kinda always wondered why exactly
the SUV craze stopped. i mean, once you give up on sense,
there's no way
to land, is
there ?
they could have made a DOUBLE SIZED "car",
that
takes up
two lanes, and could carry
that much more injected plastic on
the frame.
☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: And
the "nicer" Walmart always gets beat by
the better at spreadsheets in space walmart as old women get
their 3 status items of not being poor from
the faddy not-Walmart and race
the rest of
their money
to
the bottom walmart
BingoBoingo: Failure
to manage is exactly how
the fortunes bestowed
to select members of
the urban underpriviledged get captured by Amway and other MLM scams. It's also
the story of Bitcoin history from Obsi
through Gigavps
through labcoin
to Ether huffing. Money naturally attracts old women who want it
to
turn into a Walmart, but a "nicer" one
than
the neighbors have.
BingoBoingo: Well, yes. fail
to manage and
the money pushes everything
to Walmart
mircea_popescu: more like where
the epic failure of management
to manage
the business leaves it stranded.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo sorta how porn
transitioned from finding
teenagers looking
to explore
the world
to producing vanity
tapes so rando hookers can pretend
to be "pornstars" for an extra 10 bucks in
the vip room.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, after
the millionaire show and a few other mega jackpots
the game shows
transitioned
to "reality
tv" which at first had prizes and
then simply came with attention and opportunity
to make own fortune or peril
apeloyee: ok, i'll
think and come later.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 03:48 BingoBoingo: AHA, until late 1990's
that was US gameshow maximum prize!
Then inflation
apeloyee: (i'm not
talking about floating point, if
that's not obvious)
apeloyee: standard barrett requires a*b<n^2, yes. hence I specified
the double-precision reciprocal.
