trinque: +nubbins` | like, say,
the lineup at
the dick-scissor store. < ahahha
nubbins`: trinque it kinda seems like you're arguing people cut
their dicks off /on a whim/
Chillum: asciilifeform: I am for a larger place
to live,
then I will be getting one. Will certainly be doing a lot of research first
nubbins`: like, say,
the lineup at
the dick-scissor store.
Chillum: true but beyond a certain power other
types of lasers make more sense
trinque: nubbins`:
this gets into "everything's relative" and I don't really subscribe
to
that
Chillum: but zapping off 1-2mm
thick layers of anodization is doable
Chillum: cutting metal is a no-go for co2 lasers, not going
to spend 20k+ on a metal cutter
nubbins`: sure. he could simply decide fuck
this, i don't want
this dick, what good's it anyway,
too
Chillum: could work.
The problem is
that everyone needs
their own laser cutter as you cannot
trust another
to make a key for you
trinque: nubbins`: he could simply decide
that he is going
to ask for
the
thing, and do 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.
nubbins`: like how
the salaryman declares himself
to be confident before asking for
the promotion?
Chillum: there are bronze items going back
to... well
the bronze age
Chillum: mircea_popescu: if it can be anodized
then bronze would be a great way
to go
Chillum: aluminum insulates itself from corrosion once it gets a
thin layer
trinque: nubbins`: by magical
thinking I mean
the kind which simply
tries
to declare
things
to be other
than
they are
Chillum: it has
the advantage of being extremely durable
nubbins`: this is right before
the "FOREVER"
Chillum: I have been looking into laser cutters. I have seen
this aluminum with a black anodized layer.
The laser can blast off
the black layer
to give strong contrasting metal images. I am
thinking it may be a good way
to make very long
term(decades) bitcoin wallets
mircea_popescu: yeah, because god forbid
their stupid "mind" ie narciself ever has
to adapt
to anything.
trinque: asciilifeform: I agree up
to
the point where
they
try
to make
the body fit
the "mind"
trinque: that's what I mean, able
to rationalize it
nubbins`: trinque what about "thinking" is not magical
to you?
trinque: seems like magical
thinking just as bad as any religious nut
trinque: I
think I'd have
to not consider my body
to be "me"
to be able
to cut off a finger..
mircea_popescu: and
they
tricked him with a rare stamp, guy lost a kidney.
nubbins`: he
tracks his dad down,
they argue, dad pushes him out a 7th floor window, paralyzing him
mircea_popescu: actually, i now recall
there was
this ancient... czech maybe ? film, about a stamp collector
nubbins`: john wakes up in
the recovery room after donating said kidney -- dad had checked out an hour earlier, never
to be seen again
trinque: I
think a pathological way
to do so, but maybe
there was something
there other
than just
the narcissism,
though
that factored in
nubbins`: anyway, in
the show,
there's
this old man, john locke. hard life, series of misfortunes. finds his dad as an adult, befriends him, everything's great
trinque: asciilifeform: hm, maybe I didn't describe
the situation I know of fully. she mentioned
that it cleared her head a couple
times
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i knew of a guy who was a
total slob, ended up giving himself renal failure.
nubbins`: but at least he has a bifurcated penis for his
troubles now
nubbins`: he ended up getting divorced in
the end, which was a bit of a kick in his absent nuts
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
nubbins`: knew a guy who went by
the name "mal" who was in
the process of letting his wife cut his dick off
mircea_popescu: women
to some degree are coded
to neglect pain or else
they'd never get pregnant.
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.
nubbins`: good, 'cause i didn't get
that impression
nubbins`: i've met some extremely complicated people over
the years
nubbins`: in fairness, i went way farther down
the mod rabbit hole
than most
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.
nubbins`: you know
there's still no option for "none of
the above" here?
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.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu and
there isn't an overlap between
the
two groups who agree "hurty
things are nice". gotcha
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and for
the record,
the overlap between bdsm and "scenes" is roughly
the overlap between human sexuality and brazzers.
trinque: and it was invariably about
the attention after
the act
Chillum: almost spit gin and
tonic out my nose nubbins`
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.
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell punkman yo i need legacy deed specifications. get in
touch with
trinque, if you'd be so kind.
ben_vulpes: punkman: yo i need legacy deed specifications. get in
touch with
trinque, if you'd be so kind.
nubbins`: asciilifeform unsurprisingly
there's a massive overlap between "body mod" world and bdsm
trinque: seems like
the finger cutting wants an audience
nubbins`: pleasure centers are funny
things
bitstein: ben_vulpes: I've been busy
thinking about other
things. I have some articles
to review,
though,
that
touch
the subject. So we'll see if anyone comes
to any new conclusions.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu you don't
think cutting
the fingertips off is pleasurable for
these people?
BingoBoingo: bitspill: DKIM used
to be a popular spamzor
turd at first, guarenteed
to hit yahoo accounts
nubbins`: decimation if it ends up a problem down
the road, people have it done as adults all
the
time
decimation: a
turd sandwich sounds delicious
to someone about
the starve
to death
nubbins`: ben_vulpes if you need
to cum
to relax, you'll soon want
to cum again
mircea_popescu: moreover, people who
think
they achieved hapiness are
the golden standard of deranged.
danielpbarron: i wasn't suggesting coinbase gpg sign all outgoing email, as such a
thing would be pointless if automated, and impossible if not
ben_vulpes: nubbins`: if you need "a
thing"
to achieve it, you'll soon want another "thing"
decimation: nubbins`: when my baby boy was born
the doctor said "his frenulum is really long, you want me
to snip it"?
