mircea_popescu: portance of "gay marriage" in the world is not at all the important question-- it may be extremely relevant, or not at all, but that's irrelevant. Why we're stuck with "bipolar disorder" until, I don't know, the neo-analysts return with their talk of "repressed thyroid energy" or something, but emphatically not because we discover anything qualitatively new about bipolar.
mircea_popescu: But having the same guys means that we'll be getting the same philosophies, the same filters, the same phrases. We are guaranteeing not just groupthink, but we're allowing others to decide what we're going to talk about, how we'll talk about it. That's why "gay marriage" will disappear not when gays can marry but when a new set of media people get jobs and "gay marriage" isn't as interesting to them. The actual im
mircea_popescu: It is the same guys, over and over again, each in their own space, and by default we assume they are the most knowledgeable, or the most rigorous; have the most information or are best able to remain objective. Or maybe we simply hope they'll be good enough.
mircea_popescu: the name is very vaguely familiar, latapie, but i can't place it.
mircea_popescu: "Faisant fi des conseils avisés de nombre d'entre vous, j'ai persévéré avec cette personne, me disant que je dois arrêter d'abandonner juste avant la ligne d'arrivée, ne pas m'arrêter à la première hésitation, penser par moi-même et non par les autres, etc.
mircea_popescu: The DroneDefender can help protect us from those who may wish to do us harm,” said Dan Stamm, who led the research project. “It can help us in numerous settings, from the White House lawn to bases and embassies overseas; from prisons and schools to historic sites. It easily and reliably neutralizes the threat.”
mircea_popescu: no wait, it's really 1.5mb lighter that makes sense. ok.
mircea_popescu: so they at some point changed packaging to make it 10x bigger ?!
mircea_popescu: (this isn't a current file, it is a historical version)
mircea_popescu: but otherwise yes, fluffy is actually a deffect. just like blue eyes.
mircea_popescu: t. hire some dudes with guns offer the old style protection if you got what it takes. and if you do not, i'll just talk to the actual dudes in question and you'll eat your own ass so fast you'll be on youtube.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300279 << so a) you'll spend your life driving between bickering nuts. this is a worse deal than what psychs get, at least there you gotta drive to his office. ; b) the blockchain and everything else is entirely superfluous here. your entire idea is "hey, make me the mp of renting in south africa". maybe they will or maybe they won't but you really don't need the funny ha
☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: this "o noes we are opressed" talk is the stock in trade of the worthless class. for good reason.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: seriously, you're going to invent a blockchain way to make losers not be beaten up by their betters ? because why.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if he doesn't, well, twice the deposit worth of damage + whatever it costs him to break in should be just about fair.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: whether it's 300 million strong or just in one retired engineer's head, the same damned vocabulary, style and grammar.
mircea_popescu: to me this strictly means that the methods "of government" are merely the methods of educated stupidity, there's nothing else there. whenever a stupid part of one's worldview tries to avail itself of the power justly earned by other parts to maintain itself, you got a government talking. and it talks the same way EVERY TIME.
mircea_popescu: obviously i refuse this approach, but note the method for chrissakes. 2011, in obscure language, on obscure topic nobody gives a shit about.
mircea_popescu: stian something and german technology is best" etc, moves on to proposing that i am trying to diminish the importance of x. ie, he is proposing that i accept the form of his argument (xtianity matters) and debate the conclusions, in his terms.
mircea_popescu: perhaps vaguely interesting to asciilifeform : in the comments of the original article (see
http://trilema.com/2011/europa-crestina-si-alte-aberatii/#comment-71835 etc) a very familiar mechanism is at work : christian dude (who is otherwise a very clever, and well respected, commenter there), after exhausting the attempts to plead to authority ("oh you aren't qualified to discuss ; oh merkel is from a party called chri
mircea_popescu: as to why not anal, firstly because you're probably too young and you'll move suddenly and jerkily like too young people do and hurt her ; and secondly because you live in the sticks and will give yourself an uti because you can't afford condoms ; and thirdly because you'e insane and who the fuck knows what nonsense you'll do with it (the us porn people are a fine example with their anal desinfectants and bleaching and
mircea_popescu: but in more granular terms, anal is necessarily less stimulating than vaginal simply because the ass is a U whereas the vagina is a /\. only one of these is designed to give the penis the sort of stimulation it expects, ie, crescendo. or in other words : no cervix in the colon, and no constrictive muscular reaction to protect an absent cervix in the colon muscles.
mircea_popescu: they're respectively even tighter and even more stimulating.
mircea_popescu: moreover, if tighter and/or more stimulating were the point, why not fuck the keyhole / the hot plate.
mircea_popescu: "why anal ?" is in the same vein as "why go to school". because, obviously, "whoever likes me will like me for me as i am!!1"

mircea_popescu: "why not call the natural history museum, offer them the first horse with a collarbone."
mircea_popescu: one of the better jokes in veterinary school, head prof goes in eager beaver pathology class, "i'll put one case to you boys... suppose my horse gets a fractured collar bone. what do you do ?"
mircea_popescu: (execuytive summary - guy who ended jefferson's idea of agriculture and planted the seeds for hfcs in every meal)
mircea_popescu: for one thing he doesn't even have a conception of work whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: if i had to guess - and i can do no better than guess, da fuck i know - i'd imagine the celebrated "what a nigger wants is loose shoes, tight pussy and a warm hole to shit in" is a lot closer to what that guy [pars pro toto] wants than "masturbation that looks like work".
mircea_popescu: ballas decides "the guy is narcissist". this is about as clever as discussing the rotator splint of wild geese. "hey, they're flying, right ? gotta have rotator splint, it's what you call the collar bone"
mircea_popescu: there is in point of fact nothing objectively wrong with honor killings, all sorts of pretense to the contrary notwithstanding. if you can get your hands around her neck you can strangle her. or not. your option. reality has both functions loaded and ready to go and return;
☟︎ mircea_popescu: usian is very taken aback at the both common and perfectly reasonable [in its context] practice of killing young women that get out of line.
