mircea_popescu: jurov you highlighted me for withdrawals. you still need it ?
mircea_popescu: actually the bronze age items will still be imperceptibly altered long after new york is barely a flat spot in the sediment record.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it wouldn't work, imo. 1984 so deeply depends on very male erotic sentiment.
mircea_popescu: yeah, because god forbid their stupid "mind" ie narciself ever has to adapt to anything.
mircea_popescu: and they tricked him with a rare stamp, guy lost a kidney.
mircea_popescu: actually, i now recall there was this ancient... czech maybe ? film, about a stamp collector

mircea_popescu: narrow space in the head, so everything ends up the other thing all the time. broken shit.
mircea_popescu: imagine you just found out how to neglect noise in a noisy room
mircea_popescu: women to some degree are coded to neglect pain or else they'd never get pregnant.
mircea_popescu: whereas, plain female submission (either natural, or else imprinted/misdeveloped) is quite common.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, actual masochism is quite rare. about as rare as actual homosexuals.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well the masochists you imagine and the masochists you'll encounter are guaranteed to never meet.
mircea_popescu: so... you know, picking something way down off the list of either doesn't make much of a connection
mircea_popescu: similarly, more people in bdsm are after the humiliation than the straight pain.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the pain per se is rarely sought by the body mod crowd. as trinque points out, attention whoring much higher on the list.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` if your idea of bdsm is "hurty things are nice" and idem of body mods, the problem is this will overlap anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and for the record, the overlap between bdsm and "scenes" is roughly the overlap between human sexuality and brazzers.
mircea_popescu: there's a large overlap between idiotic sjw types, fair going lice-in-hair types, gender-and-social-role-issues types and perceived-scandalous-stuff types.
mircea_popescu: moreover, people who think they achieved hapiness are the golden standard of deranged.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` "leading normal happy life" is not the gold standard.
mircea_popescu: hopefully they run out of money and then they vcan go on thinking they knew better with the winklevii and the rest of the dumbcrowd.
mircea_popescu: bitstein the thing with idiots is that they will continue to think they know better indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: decimation i dun believe anyone's stupidity is anyone else's responsibility.
mircea_popescu: i'd really like to get with the program here and think "hey, more power to em", but the vast majority of the self improvers are just deranged.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes prolly looking for gawker magazine, fuck if i know.
mircea_popescu: but the idea isn't to make stupid shit impossible. just punishable.
mircea_popescu: no further than tonight, girl got sent to bed early because well, bought eggs at carefour.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> trinque: gawker and friends are blocked at /etc/hosts on babetops << what sort of an abusive relationsheep is this!
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> the guy is proposing to merge the silk road with yahoo! answers << well, they already implemented "yahoo finance boards" as "bitcoin finance"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` for my curiosity, when are you gonna get bored with it ?
mircea_popescu: decimation no, it's more like "why would a pretty girl like you go do this whorish stupid thing ?"
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> <+ben_vulpes> boss your penchant for recasting everything as a result of your own actions is endlessly amusing <<< i came for the btc, stayed for the lels << hey, if obama can save the economy...
mircea_popescu: i suppose one needs the particular idiocies of the us for the particular forms of the us idiocy to manifest.
mircea_popescu: reason ? unattached youngish female begging people is usually offered a junior mistress arrangement.

mircea_popescu: nubbins` ^ exactly like that, but in the other stupid colors.
mircea_popescu: not books have been nominated in the category, let’s say it’s not an original work) but a collection of right-wing chain emails and one liners–which, among other works
mircea_popescu: The ballot looks ridiculous. John C. Wright has three nominations in the novella category and six overall, a record. The vast majority of the works are published by Castalia House, a Finnish micropublisher barely a year old and owned, I’m sure coincidentally, by Vox Day.

mircea_popescu: right. and brokeback mountain isn't an endless piece of meaningless cheese. because polarities.
mircea_popescu: ".And to an author of integrity, it’s a pointless act of bullying, because if you don’t compete against the best, an award is meaningless."
mircea_popescu: o wait. bitching at excellent scientists because they didn't say stupid-thing-x-about-our-aggenda is not laughably petty and outright idiotic.
mircea_popescu: "4. None of this is strictly speaking against the rules. It’s unethical. It’s almost laughably petty and mean-spirited."
mircea_popescu: really, opposing "social justice" implies one supports... injustice ? how about the obvious "social-anything is stupid, for many reasons we won't rehash, and never has anything to do with the vanilla version" ?
