mircea_popescu: asciilifeform explain to me the topology of the wrinkle in 1-dimensional space with a quantified rule =1.
asciilifeform: but how is the fungus man 'smooth' ? as far as i can see, he is one gigantic wrinkle, like a von koch snowflake
mircea_popescu: why ? because the insipid lawyer is smooth ; cagney is clearly the one she was meant for. and we have no difficulty understanding panama smith's fixation.
mircea_popescu: priscilla lane snubs eddie bartlett in the roaring twenties, and this is perceived as a visceral crime by the audience. why ?
asciilifeform: fanfic aficionados have a term, 'mary sue', for character who appears flawless and inspires loathing thereby

mircea_popescu: "Imagine after tanning for a month and lifting weights, he met a girl at the gym who fell in love with him."

asciilifeform: not entirely relatedly, there is apparently a broadway musical about alexander hamilton. (for non-u.s. folks, a contemporary of george washington, famously killed in a duel.) so the inevitable, sacramental question: when do we get an equally duel-romanticized play about galois ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> oh i thought that part was gendered not social. ie, "what is the 1 in the 1 to 10 scale for women" rather than for people in general. << This is why 'Murica is failing. Not enough mundane nouns are gendered
mircea_popescu: oh i thought that part was gendered not social. ie, "what is the 1 in the 1 to 10 scale for women" rather than for people in general.

asciilifeform: 'There are a few simple seeming functions in libc which turn out to be quite complicated under the hood. You call a function expecting a simple result, but then libc runs off and opens a bunch of sockets to remote servers and chats them up.
