mod6: mircea_popescu: ok i made you a thing
phf: can be challenged to feats of athleticism when drunk with predictably sad results
phf: that's like those office "college quarterbacker" guys, almost always in the worst shape, particularly since delusional about past achievements
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "ex boxer" just evals to "fat".
mircea_popescu: im not so sure how far i trust his self-evals, but anyway
phf: wasn't lafond talking how the older he gets the more attention he gets
mircea_popescu: w/e that it.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile if you keep in decent shape, you're good till you finally lose interest
mircea_popescu: maybe if they're very careful.
mircea_popescu: not really. young boys have a terrible time. nigh on impossible for old women.
mod6: well, there's always "phreeee". but... just sayin, you don't need to spend $1k. $100 is a long way from $1000
mod6: anyway, my point was, if you wanna fuck, no need to drop a stack.
phf: there's no shortage of stamina in the head
mircea_popescu: but anyway. once. and then ? she's still there.
mircea_popescu: and no, shoveled dirt all day bloke does fine, good blood. office twerp, not so fine.
asciilifeform: i dun get this, a healthy bloke reloads in 10, 20 (if he shoveled dirt all day) min.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they walk around hard 24/7 until they meet a girl, after which they discover teenaged female needs 5-6 of them.
asciilifeform: the 'rare erection' thing is only even possible to picture if you discount the billion frustrated teenagers walking around hard 24/7
mircea_popescu: phf i know from experience pretty much EVERY escort, even those who charge 1-2-5k to corporate accounts, actually work for 1-200 ish.
mircea_popescu: erection is hard and difficult and lasts but a trifle.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and the soviets thought "satellite launch cheapest- costs nothing"
asciilifeform: erection is literally cheapest thing in known earth.
mircea_popescu: except on specially arranged sets catering to this particular fantasy, there's one guy in a car buying and a buncha chicks queuing.
phf: i personally know girls that charge the entire range from about 200 to 1500, they list on high end escort services, because they can pull it off, but they also list on various adultfinder variations, because that's a quick buck. i don't know what's the lowest they went for, i should ask, but this definitely doesn't work like "market forces"
mircea_popescu: where did you see dudes queing to cunt ?
asciilifeform: thin the queue, make moar?
asciilifeform: for there being a queue 25km long, vs the fiddybux whore's 1km ?
mircea_popescu: whose work is in SUCH high demand specifically that they HAVE TO charge 4k an hour to control the herds ?
mircea_popescu: yes but wtf is she going to charge 1k for ?
asciilifeform: but because why doesn't the high-quality one charge moar
asciilifeform: is mircea_popescu telling me that 'expensive whore' is 'veblen good' ? (if he is, i will believe him, i know ~as much re whoring as about deep ocean currents)
mircea_popescu: neither of these are market related. they're pure ustardia.
mircea_popescu: ie, this "item is bad because it was cheap" nonsense is ONLY THERE to prop up the "item is good because was expensive" idiocy.
mircea_popescu: i do not think whoring is extempt from market mechanisms. i KNOW that what you misrepresent as "market mechanisms" is pure usg ideology and has not ever SEEN a market.
asciilifeform: i am somewhat floored that mircea_popescu appears to think whoring to be exempt from ordinary market mechanisms!
mircea_popescu: this is such trite nominalism. if they'll do it for 0, 200 bux really is not here or there.
mod6: actually, i'd bet there are folks, even here, that would do small spec'd out work for .50000000
mod6: sure, put in a bid. see if some takers. always a solid bet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're yet to make 200 bux for tmsr work.
asciilifeform: let's try different profession. can mircea_popescu infer anything from the fact that mr joe programmer writes entire project for 200 bux ?
mod6: i guess i can see how a high-class georgetown hooker might charge like 1k per night or someshit, but you can just drive down to baltimore and get laid 3x for 60, and keep the change for the crack.
mircea_popescu: you use it plenty, and the results are always crapolade.
mircea_popescu: and in general, you can never use this mechanism, ever.
asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu proposes that i cannot infer anything interesting from the fact that chick fucks for 20bux ?
mircea_popescu: whatever she sucks&fucks for, she's exactgly the same object.
mircea_popescu: it's that you attempt to re-value the item in quiestion [woman] by future considerations [the sort that will have done X[
asciilifeform: this sophism won't work better than all the previous ones either, l0l
mircea_popescu: the objection t oyour broken mental process isn't that you generalize unwarrantedly. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: besides the point. this strawman won't work any better than all the previous ones.
asciilifeform: naturalist cannot afford to treat every blade of grass as a particular!
mircea_popescu: could be queen of the whores, or rando feminist. the future does NOT reach into the past to rearrange it somehow magically.
asciilifeform: well just as there is no 'american beer', there are only concrete pisswaters
mircea_popescu: "something that bangs for 20+taco" in your statement does NOT evaluate to anything.
asciilifeform: mod6: you can also eat 'chocolate' from the pharmacy, aha
mod6: hey, think of it this way, you can shag every work day for half a days labor + a taco
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is what fat ugly dumb cunts use to exploit your kind, alfie.
asciilifeform: yeah but then you bang something that bangs for 20+taco
mod6: bang you for $20 + a taco
mircea_popescu: the last time a woman made 1k+ to fuck some guy, he was some engineer with a love/hate relationship with usg.
mod6: yeah, i know a walmart where you can $12 bjs behind the store
asciilifeform: as many teeth, that many benjies, price!
mircea_popescu: mod6 for lack of whorexperience he puts the gals on this pedestal.
mod6: 4figs? depends on how many teef she has
mircea_popescu: enough with this kulak high falootin.
asciilifeform: like british sailors, eating their maggoty biscuits
asciilifeform: unless you want to use a blindfold
mod6: haha, yea, there
mircea_popescu: mod6 ftr that was about 50% of italian GDP throughout the past 1500 or so years.
phf: yes actually! it was a thing for a bit on craigslist and such. you could invite over a "chef", they cook for free, and eat with you, but you buy the groceries
asciilifeform: y'know, like an illegal taxi
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no i meant anonymous you-can-be-anybody-so-long-as-you-got-dough sort of thing
asciilifeform: and of course there is the inevitable whoring app, but that'd have to use coin and is still waiting for wot folk to do it
mircea_popescu: isn't this what mistress is traditionally ?
asciilifeform long wondered why there is not the next logical step for uber & airbnb - 'restaurant' where you show up to somebody's house and he cooks for you
mod6: i always thought the airbnb thing was so weird.
ben_vulpes: very much yes i would rather stay with some kindly grandmother i've never met than the roach motel up the street.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: thinks i don't know how poorly this place is set up, haw
phf: "new and improved gui framework" "what can it do?" "prettier, modern gradients, better than last year's tired gradients"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i want gradients like i want the "clever" ustard namespace. o woe what the fuck will i do without "laundromat" and "chuck e cheese" !!1
mircea_popescu: it's now part and parcel of what the idiots have come to expect or some stupid shit.
mircea_popescu: i've been waiting for the idiocy to blow over ever since and it just fucking won't
a111: Logged on 2016-04-12 23:07 phf: fwiw gtk has been compromising x for year, that's where "remote x is useless" misconception comes from. you can run x emacs on a dialup even (i was doing it on dsl in the early 2000s), but of course running any kind of gtk app fails miserably, because library pushes gratuitous (and unoptimizable by simple RLE) gradients across wire just to render a button.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-12#1450744 << this fucking gradient business omfg... ☝︎
asciilifeform goes ~100km on a typical day
asciilifeform: (the typical modern auto is built to fall apart within 1% or somesuch of the day the credit is paid off)
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu knew this.
asciilifeform: perhaps this is when to point out that they do not in fact ~own~ the things
asciilifeform: if i only ever drove to places where i actually ~wanted~ to be, i might not hate it.
mats: the simple matter is that car ownership is, to me, a -ev prospect
asciilifeform: mats: but i can't really separate the reason for hating it from my hatred of working.
mats: uber's classic service (that is, the 'black car' bidness it was before servicing plebs with 'uberx', 'uberpool', etc) is still good
shinohai takes tacis everywhere.
mats: i thought you hate driving?
asciilifeform: do you pull the pin every day??
mats: but... filial piety and all that.
asciilifeform: how about the frag ?
mats: i don't look forward to the prospect of marriage
asciilifeform: mats: do you fire the kalash every day ? how about the electron microscope ?
mircea_popescu: mats don't ever get married ; it's like buying a cunt that sits unlubricated 99% of the time!
asciilifeform: but what i was pointing out was that building unmodified (sourcewise) linux proggies to run on shitblowz was baked long, long ago
