pete_dushenski: "A senior
Trump adviser
told Bloomberg Businessweek last month
that
the campaign is working on a
three-pronged voter suppression strategy
that includes an effort
to depress black
turnout.
Though other
Trump advisers later pushed back on
the report, Anglin’s partners say
they are hoping
to put
Trump over
the
top by doing just
that."

phf: now i grok where you got your airs from, you're a ct person,
that explains it :p
phf: outside of reasonably nyc commute range
there are parts of ct
that are underdeveloped, new haven has
the
typical ivy arrangement: university controlled downtown surrounded by ghettos on all four sides. you have bridgeport with whole streets "for sale", i don't imagine
they are

they have remnants of

that's how you end up with bathroom serving as a library (because if you play a piano, where do you put a grand piano? if you put it in

☟︎ phf: they don't really know what
to do with "large houses" here. i've been
to a few, and i can never discern a cause
to any of
the rooms. it's basically "place we sleep, place we shit and place we hang out", everything else is a filler, a place
to put "artwork". on
the other hand not even being "man worth
the mention" i can put
to use very large spaces. own bedroom, shared bedroom, library room, computer room, workshop (i don't have a lathe,
mircea_popescu: add
to
this
the usual
technological 15% (you'll need hallways
too, right ?) and suddenly you're
talking 1k sqm / 10`000 sqfeet as an absolute minimum. going all
the way up
to multiple acres of floorspace.
mircea_popescu: now let's add up : on
the conservative side, you need 150 + 250 + 500 = 850 sqm ; on
the expansive side you can call it 15`000 and be good.
mircea_popescu: 3. if you're
the sort of man worth
the mention in
the first place, you also engage in some sort of activities. i am not speaking here of an "office" where
to sit and engage in bureaucracy, because really, government-made men aren't ever worth
the mention. but alf at
the extreme could prolly soak up 10`000 sqm, so
there is
that. call it 500 and let it be.
mircea_popescu: 2. if you're
the sort of man worth
the mention in
the first place,
then you must have 2-4 of what's commonly named "wives", except without
the annoying in permanent residence.
this means
they get a bedroom, and you also need a great bedroom
to play with
them in, which ideally should be separate from
the hall, and
they'll want 100 sqm of bathroom including complicated waterholes and whatnot. plus closets and various other hidi
mircea_popescu: 1. if you're
the sort of man worth
the mention in
the first place,
then you must be able
to entertain

the morning's notice. consequently you will need a "great" hall of at least 100 sqm, more like 150-200 where
to seat
them around a
table, + a kitchen half
that at least + 2-3 servants so another 50 in living space for
them.

their belly looks. ask around.)

the

to labia, run wire
to her belly or w/e. give her some of
those running/yoga pants

THAT hard

this being arguably
the controlling point. as personal computer generation (ie republican generation) rises
to prominence, so
too will exotic and fabulous creations be fashioned
to meet
the
tastes and demands of
the new kids on
the block.
this could very well mean more handmade ic and less whatever it is
that jeff koons does.
☝︎ pete_dushenski: personal computers, by contrast, are hermetically hidden away.
they're ~private~ whereas cars are as public as
the nose on your face.
pete_dushenski: this is why armchair 'enthusiast'
types focus so obsessively on '0-60
times'. because
that's about what public roads permit (without republican fender flags)

to 'role play rape' with you.
