mircea_popescu: they prefer a larger one. apparently tbtf is a thing in human cognition.
mircea_popescu: they don't like to save in the local currency of a tiny mismanaged we-produce-nothing "corporation"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the manner in which they recount this failure to themselves varies by place and culture.
mircea_popescu: to put it another way : women will fail at anything they set their mind to. of course they would. that's the point of life on earth, everyone does it, what can you say. ars will stay longa.
mircea_popescu: the absence of engineers is not germane to this discussion. we're talking sociology here.
mircea_popescu: hey, europe spent five centuries going "o noes, sin" and where are all the saints.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the east coast moved to a very mechanicistic "if you can't engineer you're a failed bioexperiment", which makes for a slightly differenty flavour of very unhappy, somewhat overweight neuroticoball.
mircea_popescu: the "feminist misery" as overrepresented in pantsuit media is mostly the result of urban californite reinterpretation of 1800s era boston puritanism. "if you're enjoyable you lose at life". makes for the obese, neurotic, deeplyh unhappy "queers" and whatnots.
mircea_popescu: but for the sake of historical record, the very traditional central european "you may not say no to a man ; and ESPECIALLY not sexually" lands, ie from south carolina south and west as far as maybe eastern arizona, provide slut protection, in that "and if you end up alone with three kids before you're 30 i won't hold that against you".
mircea_popescu: in fact there's a lot of ethnographic and social difference across the "nation" which isn't. that the pantsuit don't know about it... well... they don't know about anything else, either, do they.
mircea_popescu: in the southwest men will actually pick up (the otherwise very submissive) women with children and parent them anyway.
mircea_popescu: uruguay maybe not. but still, the general idea is... 20s are for inzeks. 100s are for outzeks.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo not so smart ; outside of us nobody ever uses anything other than 100s
mircea_popescu: back before 2001/1990s/bush/etc happened, the remnants of "male culture" were actually headed towards a boaty paradise, i suspect.
mircea_popescu: all these kids born after the world went to shit. "vhs america" indeed.
mircea_popescu: im vaguely wondering what a 2000 born iowan even makes of a boat pic.
mircea_popescu: she married some idiotic lawyer turned lobbyist by the name piper
mircea_popescu: i don't expect the hyphenating kind would put the husband first.
mircea_popescu: well, "last set". i'm not talking collector cunt here.
mircea_popescu: nobody does a line for any other reason than to THINK they're there. so make it a reality, more margin that way.
mircea_popescu: talk about "efficient market hypothesis". this is A LOT more in demand than pink ipad covers, for instance. "oh but mp, pink ipad covers aren't illegal!" o ya ? ALSO more in demand than cocaine.
mircea_popescu: bout 10% of the 3bn male population would save to go just to be able to say "Went"
mircea_popescu: sell the tickets for 10k or w/e, it'll be more than the strippers make anyway.
mircea_popescu: .7 attendants per passenger, "no means yes, of course" as company policy, and they feed you grapes manually.
mircea_popescu: someone should actually make a strippers-and-roman-banquet airline.
mircea_popescu: that's not the problem ; the problem (esp in the "western" world ) is that it'll still be sysco.
mircea_popescu: im not even sure how they run it stateside anymoar, for lack of much caring.
mircea_popescu: i get it, you don't powerlunch there every day. but if you run into a gal that takes your breath away... wouldn't it be the proper time ?
mircea_popescu: most starred restaurants are a few hundy to maybe a grand a plate.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the us is pretty ridiculous. upscale dinner for two can readily run you a grand or two, yet none of the walkers have that much on them.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, part of gangster notion is that conspicuous is other people's problem.
mircea_popescu: hey. they did want to count mine when i landed. i... didn't cooperate (but i did let them watch while i did, so there was that)
mircea_popescu: a man sized clip will hold a whole brick (ie, 100 bills, 50k eur or 10k usd or 5mn colones or w/e), unfolded.
mircea_popescu: im sure they have epsilon. guess what, so does my staffordshire terrier.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how to break this to you, but "money" is here defined as > 1 gangster rolls.
mircea_popescu: i don't think i ever met an argentine who had any money. at all. ever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but usa is dumb kid of rich parents.
mircea_popescu: like every dumbass getting a mortgage "because everyone is".
mircea_popescu: they didn't get it for a purpose. they got it because they think owning subs is how you further the pretense of countryhood.
mircea_popescu: the only way to correctly represent argentina, joint or several, is by thinking of the dumbest whore you can possibly imagine.
mircea_popescu: she thought the conversation was going to be about her or something.
mircea_popescu: oh and in "social media was invented to entertain me" reprints, me : how goes it ? 19yo f iowa : "dying inside casually. you ?" me : "here's yachting pics."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: what defies reason is how anyone can NOT go on a rampage shooting random people, bombing government buildings and setting toddlers afire in old tyres over there.
mircea_popescu: cat would rather burn down the house than live in washing machine ; and normal human being would rather crack the earth into a trillio nshards than live in the "united states" pantsuit has imagined. what's so hard about this ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, we are currently fibbing about you have immunity, therefore your constitutional protection is null and void, cuz that's how constitutions work now, therefore... oh what do you mean we'll change our mind later ? OF COURSE! you don't understand how the world works ?!"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo oddly enough latinos don't really believe in "how about you doin't dirty las playas in the first place".
mircea_popescu: confusing argentina for a country is not unlike confusing puppy for a baby -- ie something only uninformed fat old women could do.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the pretense of argentina, in all fields, is nothing short of hysterical. they lose a sub, 100% through being TOTAL FUCKTARDS. they act as if adult country had some sort of problem ; as if people on it were qualified -- not to run a sub, but to run a dishwasher and so on.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "case". yes, political judgemens not deterred by complaint by victim.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i don't mean re this, necessarily. mpi as an import is one thing
mircea_popescu: diana_coman could the patches be actually inline and not merely reference ?
