mircea_popescu: in other "lottery winning", for the past half hour while taking shower i've been mulling over the dilemma of whether i can be arsed to go over to fine restaurant have their absolutely fabulous porterhouse or not really.

mircea_popescu: then again i guess a good third of all trilema convos are about that.
mircea_popescu: but slavegirl is safe in that "tell you what, how about i crack your skull open ?" is very... relaxing.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i wouldn't avise "free agents" to try, that's for damn sure.
mircea_popescu: well... kinda the whole point of smoking, neh ? "it just... relaxes me, man" "and how do yo uthink it does that ?" "i don't know, there's some like brain receptors or something"
mircea_popescu: eventually once there's no hidey hole for "i just can't help myself" and no fucking benefit to binging whatsoever... they can./
mircea_popescu: then comes the first cold turkey + beating & berating for it, then the second...

mircea_popescu: makes one wonder how many of these weren't disturbed by "security", never shot anyone.
