mircea_popescu: this is pointedly not happening. because
they're bees.
mircea_popescu: the "go shoot a cop" strategy would be where bee activates her ovaries, other bees kill her offspring, she kills [one of]
those other bees.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bees are
technically social media journalists. vestigially female, overweight, buzzing around for
the buzz.
mircea_popescu: you can't fight power. you can
think you do. and
then fail and wonder where you went wrong.
mircea_popescu: fuck me... who came up with
this entire "labels on
things" bullshit ? and what did you
think it was going
to do ?
mircea_popescu: o look at
that, NOW
the labels on
things are a good
thing ?
mircea_popescu: ’re adding vanilla extract
to
the cake instead of arsenic.
mircea_popescu: My feelings, and
the feelings of many people I know, are more hurt by
the prolonged waiting for a concrete answer while we sit quietly with our feigned Chill. It is as if I’ve broken some unwritten law when I ask what
they are looking for and am dissatisfied with
the answer “I don’t really like
to put labels on
things.” But putting labels on
things are how people find
the exit during a fire and make sure
they
mircea_popescu: "here's where we stand : until and unless you burn down
the entire politico-juridistical establishment of
the entire faux-free world, i ain't signing any paper with you."
mircea_popescu: "I routinely happen upon men who are perplexed when I eventually declare
that I want
to know where we stand. Indecision is not a noble virtue."
mircea_popescu: it's funny how
this shit works - all
teh victorious 4-th shitwave feminism somehow left actual females on
the ground with a
thicker implement with more barbs on it up
their ass.
mircea_popescu: " I don’t
think
that it is so much
to ask
that I be considered a
thing — at least some kind of
thing — if I am engaging in emotional or sexual intimacy with someone."
mircea_popescu: that's where she's got
the idea for accountability. obama's doin' aite, i guess. it's
the schmuck sort-of dating her
that needs more of
the gel.
mircea_popescu: ur phone into
the nearest volcano. Chill asks you
to be like, “LOL, what volcano?” Chill presides over
the funeral of reasonable expectations. Chill
takes and never gives. Chill is pathologically unfeeling but not even interesting enough
to kill anyone. Chill is a garbage virtue
that will destroy
the species. Fuck Chill."
mircea_popescu: "But Chill is not
the opposite of uptight. It is
the opposite of demanding accountability. Chill is a sinister refashioning of “Calm down!” from an enraging and highly gendered command into an admirable attitude. Chill suggests
that young love is best expressed as competitive ambivalence. Chill demands
that you see a Read receipt followed by a “Hey, was asleep”
text
three hours later and not proceed
to
throw yo
mircea_popescu: "hey...
these guys put in some good sweat! briefly...."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently some guy
trying
to inform
the
tardstalk ?
mircea_popescu: god damned it. /me says
to woman, "just set
the soup on a low fire, i'll serve myself", promptly forgets about
the entire
thing. soup boils patiently for 40 minutes.
mircea_popescu: 17:32:44 renart:
the maximum number of operational systems continues
to decrease
mircea_popescu: i suppose
THAT is what
the occasional derp means by sociopath.
mircea_popescu is a firm believer in "scream at
the market until it alligns. and if it doesn't, burn it down."
mircea_popescu: to be next
to all
the famished bitchez ? mkay,
then you'll live with
the ikeas.
mircea_popescu: and if you aren't poor why are you renting in
the poor section ?
mircea_popescu: why am i
taking possession of industrial machinery by
the month.
mircea_popescu: the notion you'd rent bare walls is so bizarre. is
this a 10 year leasing agreement or something ?
mircea_popescu: history, density, [up until recently] cultural variety,
take your pick.
mircea_popescu: which is weird, because
the
transportation situation idem
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the rental situation is pretty much idiotic anywhere outside europe.
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 16:30:11; PeterL: my 'goal' is not just
to be debt free, but
to have my money working harder
than me
mircea_popescu: for one
thing, men are supposed
to have loose
ties with
their offspring in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: to
teach
them how
to steal and how
to pick bitchez, i guess.
mircea_popescu: should get a coupla dozen urchins during a decade
to pick from.
mircea_popescu: "marriage". it's a flexible institution. seems
the correct implementation of ghetto-marriage (as opposed
to
the middle class white same sex marriage
thing
they do - yes it's always
two women) is where you keep 2-5 bitchez and professionally are either a
thief or a drug dealer.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, if you're going
to raise kids correctly in
the states,
the govt pays for most of it.
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 17:49:00; mircea_popescu: if i was going
to raise a litter i'd definitely buy. now it's
true
that if i did i'd buy in kandahar, and i would never even consider it with a single woman, but i guess
these'd be details. fact remains if you're going
to kids you're much better off with ownership.
mircea_popescu: "i got
this here aileron, just like
the f1 ferrarris use. on my ford
truck. because sometimes five
ton ford
trucks
take off
the road under
their own speed."
mircea_popescu: kids are
the exact bane of flexibility.
this needs no discussion, does it ?
mircea_popescu: not what was said. "the advantages of renting are mutually incompatible with
the disadvantages of having kids."
renart: why is
the fact
that owning is so much better with kids?
renart: and why is
that, mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: if i was going
to raise a litter i'd definitely buy. now it's
true
that if i did i'd buy in kandahar, and i would never even consider it with a single woman, but i guess
these'd be details. fact remains if you're going
to kids you're much better off with ownership.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 16:09:46; PeterL:
There are advantages
to renting, like moving is alot easier.
mircea_popescu: then i
tell
them about how if i wanted
to buy real estate i'd buy a ranch in montana for
the same money,
they go all incredulous. because yeah
they do nothing but watch us exports on
the
tube all day, but
they don't have either
the unlazy intensity
to
try and get complete data or
the mental acuity
to understand how
that's done.
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 16:02:21; PeterL: liquidassets: I owed about 110k on
the mortgage, house sold for about 35k. So I guess it was more like 75k "income"
that was "forgiven" by USG for
taxes.
gribble: (search <word>) -- Searches for <word> in
the current configuration variables.
renart: it's bitcoin-rpg,
try it and see!
mircea_popescu: liquidassets he has a point, incidentally. it's not a social club per se. it's a social club for powerful rich people
that do
things.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how
the internet works foxperson. minutia is all it's got.
renart: well
there we differ in opinion
mircea_popescu: i had no idea he was working. seemd just gabbing away
to me.
renart doesn't
think
the offhand comment bears such close scrutiny
renart: so i say
that he's working
towards purposes and not from causes...
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 16:17:15; PeterL: Now I would want
to get a house with a large down-payment, pay it off quickly,
then not have
to worry about a monthly rent payment
mircea_popescu: ", I had no idea
that I’d end
the day going from casually dating six men
to formally and intentionally dating zero."
renart: mircea_popescu: aw man
then it won't be funny
trinque chuckles at liquidassets linking causes-and-purposes and
then saying "to what end"
mircea_popescu: renart
trinque
translate
the joke
to an old man ? i'm like... not following.
