mircea_popescu: not too hard to make your own disposable cloth diapers anyway. just buy some cheap metrage and cut it up.
mircea_popescu: disposable, for the record, is in no way bad for the environment. it consists of mixing celulose pulp with human excrement and burrying it. this is a much better use than mixing cellulose pulp with pigments and then storing it on shelves.

mircea_popescu had never seen a cockroach in the flesh before going to costa rica
mircea_popescu: the point is made in passing in that discussion of rabbit killing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is in bad taste to kill people but be unfamiliar with the body's path through this world. much like eating cream but never having milked a cow, or eating meat but never having hunted, and so forth.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: his tragedy, and make no mistake alf is a true tragic figure,
mircea_popescu: and this is purely a subjective problem, no matter what it masquerades as.
