mircea_popescu: punkman> "Some California farmers have turned to drip irrigation to reduce their water use." << ah welcome to state of the art in 1970 greece << word. i was rather impressed with what "intensive agriculture" meant down there.
mircea_popescu: she got so heartbroken she deleted her whatever profile etc. but wtf am i to do, i won't hang out with some chick that actually thinks "the people bla bla". just like that chick won't hang out with some dude that's either short or thinks the boo boo about fatties. cuz she can.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: notions which also happen to be intolerable. such is lyf.
mircea_popescu: obviously that in that context, her choices are between depression and socialist ideas. so understandably, she had a lot of notions about "the people" and "the good".
mircea_popescu: the civil corps or maybe run for office as she ages. like you know, hillary.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the dudes that women hound are just as retarded. take me for instance : there's a shitton of opinions woman can't hold. recently met a very sweet girl, smart, decent figure. she's an argentine, so her only real chance to eat is to work for the government - there's really no productive activity going on here, much like it were say detroit. so she was some derpy "social worker" and aiming to either seniorize into
mircea_popescu: well in this case he's some dude, speaking enligsh on a gadget. so... yeah, he's the sort that begs for sex.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo>
https://i.imgur.com/TWL7uf7.png << the reason HE can't have "his own opinions" is simply that he's hounding her. just like used car, insurance and aluminum sides salesmen can't have their own opinions.

mircea_popescu: <cazalla> 8chan-hosted-content-disappears-from-google-searches/ << there's an iron curtain now falling on teh internets, <me inserts rest of clinton speech>. it's us and them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <trinque> this is what we will amount to absent intelligence, luck, etc << you will have quite the hill to conquer in showing the woman was bereft intelligence.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and yes it was a real character. the guy didn't write fiction. he just wrote well and so plenty of his ethnographic notations read more like blogposts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the notion of making statues for imaginary entities was not really well rooted.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <trinque> re: being loved and/or feared << it's actually a quote from that de niro film :D chaz palminteri says it :D
mircea_popescu: anyway, im vaguely contemplating hiring an indiancandy to counter woe-shannonizer with the -1 * equivalent
mircea_popescu wonders if asciilifeform has pre-made file with the woe me stuff, or generates them on the fly.
mircea_popescu: because the things that are get the flaw talk, and the things that aren't.... you wouldnt wanna fud some kids' imaginarium nao wouldja./
mircea_popescu: but i mean he got hair i don't, i got beard he doesn't ?
mircea_popescu: especially seeing how stage 1 is precisely there to prevent stage 2.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of things of which i can't really name anything but hey, a lot of vague vulnerabilities are better than one specifically.
mircea_popescu: i heard this said emptily by a large number of derps, so it must be so.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski well they read it, but they don't edit it rite.
mircea_popescu: well i mean, teh women didn't elect metro something as the avenue for de-barren-isation did they
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski how's women and some local newspaper related ?
mircea_popescu: and yet kickstarter does not have its doors torn down by police.
mircea_popescu: reddit continues to grow s/globally/imaginarily/, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: how do you feed people if what you sell them has no food in it ?
mircea_popescu: ah. was announced in chat at some point, but penning a trilema article now
mircea_popescu: the red blouse clad human in the picture. with the tits. is male.
mircea_popescu: (there's a black girl in the french film i mentioned above - nobody cared. "wow seriously ?!" yes seriously, the french had chocolat before the usians had chocolate.
mircea_popescu: you know, the entyire skin color thing was never a major point in yurp.
mircea_popescu: herp derp and really tell me more what the middle class thinks, it's so impossible for me to predict it.
mircea_popescu: "oh hitler was mean, because the british empire was ending anyway, and he should have jsut waited it out ; whereas oh lincoln was great, because southern slavery was ending anyway but he had the martial presence to not wait it out".
mircea_popescu: churchill "won it" and watch the uk have to beg bundesbank for rescue loans within the decade.
mircea_popescu: which incidentally terribly weakens the middle class case against hitler. "oh, he lost the war". sure. guess what, the war that was won hasn't been invented yet.
mircea_popescu: general indication seems to be that he didn't care for the result either. that "apres moi le deluge" is very similar to socrates' "i have nothing to offer nor do i wish to offer anything in fine."
mircea_popescu: if we like or don't like the results - at least we know.
mircea_popescu: but the people whio did care thought - and i think today - it was worth a shot.
mircea_popescu: he didn't know at the time what he was saying. obviously. and perhaps didn't even care to find if what he said was or was not said before.
mircea_popescu: so yes, the french revolution is a "historical necessity". because a king at some point said so.
mircea_popescu: following, as it were, with the knife the lines drawn aforehand.
mircea_popescu: but the notion that the mob in the street invented anything or in any way created something... gimme a break. romanians for a while thought ceausescu was incredibly inventive in his stupidity. these being the folk too uncultured to know carol 2. in fact, the bootmaker was merely immitating, as best he could.
mircea_popescu: but the problem comes back again and again to what i told pete d that day we were discussing "systems" : you can not afford to insult the powerful.
mircea_popescu: the guillotine... minor point, and a necessity after thatanyway.
mircea_popescu: so the aristocrats were taken to versailles and circumcised.
mircea_popescu: not that the beatings stopped, but that luis hated his father, and decided he'll rule with a bureaucracy rather than have more of that shit around.
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt the man was motivated by greed, or at all comprehensible in the terms of the bourgeoisie.
mircea_popescu: but he definbitely excised a lot of revenge over the people that pointedly reminded him of his opwn parents.
mircea_popescu: talleyrand took a lot of money from the various german princes, yes. bribes ? maybe. to do what with them ? not like he had to buy any woman in paris anyway.
