mircea_popescu: full ten years ago, at
a wedding, where i was the godfather and took chet to be godmother, the ~other pair~ of godparents (romanians do this groom / bride big/small wedding godparents thing) were these average middle class 30something couple. and the dude finally got sufficiently drunk at the party so as to propose to her! assuring her of his protection and etcetera! in
a slurred drunk nonsense, and with his fucking wife r
mircea_popescu: and before that, on the trip over to
castle, girly kneeling in the dirt by the side of the car in some rural parking lot attracted
a... garbage truck! full of garbage men! who parked across and solicitously came over to inquire... whether she "ne
mircea_popescu: most recently yesterday : slut kicked out of car over specific failure, wept all the way home. lorry full of workers'd have cut her
a deal just as we picked her up on the home stretch because well... she looks like the best hooker in town.
mircea_popescu: this may seem like
a lengthy stretch, but in fact it quite is : linnaeus' own species only speciated about 3-400`000 years ago, the commitment contemplated here's five times what it took to have homo sapiens.
mircea_popescu: besides nonsense dust there;s also joy dust ; they could in principle balance out ; literature as
a body of work (though mostly in french, somewhat in latin, defo not in english besides
a few hundred pages) achieved that ; "computer programming" never did.

trinque: isn't loc though. you have
a finite amount of exposure to nonsense before you kill someone else, kill yourself, or go mad.

a greybeard once told asciilifeform , 'you dun know it, but you got finite # loc in you, once you've written them will stand the machine no moar and have to move to forest and eat bark'. i'm not even convinced that it was joke.

mircea_popescu: restless he rolls from whore to whore,
a merry monarch, scandalous and poor ;
a very pretty, witty king whose word no man relies on, he never said
a foolish thing nor ever did
a wise one
mircea_popescu: who's gonna miss
a slightly geographically misplaced clone of ukraina, and why would they !?
mircea_popescu: dude's looking to start
a castle of an ad-hoc republic of his own, in ~600 sq ft in the ghetto that's romania.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in romanians-are-retarded lulz, “Tânăr frumos, curat, caut două fete pentru
a le găzdui, ofer cazare gratis în apartament de 55 de metri pătraţi. Ofer poze în privat, cer igienă maximă şi discreţie pe măsură… Mai multe detalii, la telefon sau în privat.

a historical thing, ugh

diana_coman: asciilifeform: is there
a link to "first day of log" for
a chan? I don't know if I just can't see it or there just isn't one.
mircea_popescu: rape's
a lot better for the young woman than socialism for society.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck sorta rattle gotta be going on in some dude's brain to ACTUALLY BELIEVE what the fucking bankers are telling them, when engaged in
a negotiation for the very thing the bankers make their money from. what, you thought all the advertising exists as
a private gift from aliens ?! it's there BECAUSE these idiots rely on breaking down social communication to insert their shit in the gaps, wtf.
mircea_popescu: you'd think that some dude everyone was butthurt about being worth
a billion back when bitcoin crossed 1k the first "time could afford to own" ; but that's all
a red herring, SPECIFICALLY the
dumb old mula red herring. it's not
a matter of affording, it's
a matter of not wanting to.
mircea_popescu: the hierarchy of consume-more-than-produce young females is very strictly 1. girls who found themselves
a sponsor, who fucks them and pays their rent ABOVE 2. morons living in state-run orphanage. the SAME EXACT thing applies to boys too, just because you pay your own rent doesn't change the disposition in the field, doesn't make up down and down up.
mircea_popescu: not to mention the MOST important element, by far : as
a young orphan (and if your dad dun have any duchies for you, you ARE an orphan, whether you admit it or not ; denial won't fix status) you WANT to get in the way of men-who-aren't-as-fucked-in-the-head-and-offensively-useless-and-retarded as that mongrel dog your drunk of
a mother fucked to produce you.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-15 21:09:33 asciilifeform: lobbes: this may be
a geographic thing, or simply asciilifeform's luck, but when renting 'from human' never 1nce experienced rising cost. they're extremely reluctant to raise it, because 'what happens if this d00d leaves and aint replaced until months later, or is replaced with
a normal person who dun maintain w/ own hands' etc
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-16 05:37:45 mircea_popescu: IF the problem is that the currency is shit (which is strictly what "rising rents" means : if rents are rising, THEREFORE the currency is shit. if urine is sweet, THEREFORE diabethes, no iffs or butts about it, these are NOT separable), then owning real estate is
a very poor solution : real estate follows the currency secular trend
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-16#1936660 << this is why, eg, greenwhich village even fucking happened in the 50s : rents were SO LOW
a bunch of niggers getting together for an evening could sing themselves into the month's rent. it was CHEAPER to live there than in whatever alabama that spawned them. because back then the currency was strong, because etc.
mircea_popescu: as
a young orphan with potential, you keep to negotiable instruments. that's why the young men of florence who did get to be old men and successful enough as to buy up all the young cunts for gold to all the failures' despair went into trade rather than bureaucracy!
mircea_popescu: things flow the other way, your aging dad gives you the duchy of cornwall for you to hold on to for him, what the fuck is this ? and if dad ~dun have~
a duchy of cornwall large enough to keep you occupied, ~you leave~. and you spit on his head, too, because HE FAILED in life. because this was his fucking job : by the time the sons he made were old enough to do something useful with histime, he was supposed to have so much
mircea_popescu: buying "
a house" from "the bank" is THE EXACT EQUIVALENT of giving your savings to your dad "to hold on to them for you". what the fuck, are you twelve ?
mircea_popescu: if you're
a young man, YOU DO NOT BUY ILLIQUID, NON-NEGOTIABLE ANYTHING!!!! i don't mean, with money. i mean with anything. you have enough sense to keep your sexual relationships at will rather than get fucking married, fine, but the same applies throughout.
snsabot: Logged on 2018-11-25 13:50:17 a111: Logged on 2014-09-10 15:02 mircea_popescu: well yeah. was
a bunch o people, they got building permit and proceeded to built like at home. concrete pillars, brick walls etc.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, are you retarded ? if people who you don't know are making things for you, the name for the thing they're making is
A TRAP
mircea_popescu: if you're not
a fucking pimp, you don't buy real estate in your 20s. and if you are
a pimp, you buy in fucking baltimore, you buy in the blighted downtown of detroit or philly or whatever the shit. NOT crap in suburbia ;
mircea_popescu: the only 20something who can reasonably buy real estate is...
a pimp.
mircea_popescu: if you're making
a living driving
a car, you buy CARS. if you're making
a living fixing cars, you buy forklifts and power tools.
mircea_popescu: IF you are
a young man, and are producing more than consuming (if not, please
follow the recipe for gender re-assignment, you don't belong here), you should save ~in capital goods~ specifically ~of your trade~.
mircea_popescu: if however the currency flags, real estate forthwith moves into emergency monetization role, meaning you want to short it as part of
a triple currency play.
mircea_popescu: IF the problem is that the currency is shit (which is strictly what "rising rents" means : if rents are rising, THEREFORE the currency is shit. if urine is sweet, THEREFORE diabethes, no iffs or butts about it, these are NOT separable), then owning real estate is
a very poor solution : real estate follows the currency secular trend

a scam. I fell for the 'well, my mortgage will be
a fixed cost vs rising rents' thinking, but neglected to factor in cost of maintenance, rising property taxes, whathaveyou
mircea_popescu: useless children spawned by useless women lodged in useless houses wherein
a mancave fulla unusable paraphenalia of inutility are uselessly stored... what
a fucking life. the only possible progression is towards tranquilizers, and on the basis of the cheapest being weed this theory'd indicate "
a weed epidemic".
mircea_popescu: explains
a lot, such as the "motorcycle" clubs consisting of fellows who buy motorcycle parts for an alleged motorcycle that has more in common with
a tchotchke than an actual conveyance, IN THAT IT DOESN'T FUCKING MOVE
mircea_popescu: going from
a fixed 53 bytes header to either 46 or more generally 34 seems
a fabulous gain in any case.

mircea_popescu: then of course there's the hallucinatoria of the coy reflex, girl who's never taken
a stroll nude down the busy street imagines it's gonna be the end of the world!!! much like the guy taking
a stumble imagines everyone's watchin' an' judging, AS FUCKING IF they could unglue their eyes off the i[nca[pods long enough to notice their own fucking shoes are on fire.
mircea_popescu: (i dun even mean trinque specifically, the naive gent's
a universal, anyone who never seriously thought about these things in these forms for these reasons five or ten years ago, meaning practically everyone.)
snsabot: Logged on 2017-12-13 23:52:25 asciilifeform: also it is not so hot , as
a tuner, 'shits where it eats' quite severely
mircea_popescu: it's an ecology problem, very much of the
cycle variety ; an' will have to be addressed, though in this particular case the corner naive gent's painted himself in is SO FAR OUT THERE, and there's SO MUCH GOD DAMNED PAINT surface, it'll take
a while to unwind.

lobbes: but I suspect you are correct re: human owners + geographics. Charlotte is
a typical "bubble" city; low corp tax rates attract the banking industry, which fuels the need for meatworkers, but apparently NC doesn't produce skilled-enough workers on its own, so for the last few decades has been importing 'em (virtually all the people on my team are not from NC)
lobbes: oh yeah, my mom used to be
a landlord back before I was born. Would tell horror stories of tenants writing curses in literal shit on the walls when she had to evict them for non-payment

a knight! I'll take the opportunity to learn how to not decide things in haste for example
diana_coman:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-09-15#1936552 - so regret your haste then and/or specific choice-avoidance but not your decision; it was made at that time and it's done; regretting the decision only puts you in
a very awkward position moving on because now what - you'll be
a knight who regrets his decision of being
a knight?
