mircea_popescu: and don't ask me how this is possible. i have nfi how it is possible. i agree it violates basic economic laws.
mircea_popescu: somehow romania consists of a large aggregate pile of debris whose individual cost to own exceeds both expected lifetime utility and replacement value
mircea_popescu: unless i rent a mall... and honestly, the shit here is not worth owning.
mircea_popescu: as cool concrete two level subteranean "parking" / basement built to industrial standards would be... in this shithole it'd be a liability more than anything.
mircea_popescu: anyways, i was entertaining vague "why not buy a few acres of orchard somewhere, plant down a haremhous". but i'm now thoroughly disabused of a notion
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, as 2020 is just around the corner -- three quarters of the top quarter left.
mircea_popescu: by the time 2001 rolled around, that nigger at dept of state and all the rest of the lulz -- about half of the top 5% had left
mircea_popescu: i suspect demographic collapse is at the root of it. by the end of 90s, about half of the top first percentile had left the country.
mircea_popescu: it's not any one detail, though. it's the system. they've meanwhile re-crystalised their idiocy, and it remarkably preserved just about all of it.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi. hangs out with nicoleci 's described "matress store" consisting of a piling of matresses and an old woman in a room
mircea_popescu: i could go on, but it's not worht anyone's time. call them centrul preorasenesc "romania", si mai da-i si-n pula.
mircea_popescu: be it the "dj" who, atop the roof of a parking lot, is trying to "mc" some of the saddest retarded-white-trash-kids-from-the-ghetto-made-themselves-a-band-just-like-their-mommies-heard-those-rich-suburban-kids-used-to-do-in-THEIR-moms-garages-backintheninteties
mircea_popescu: be it the dentist who doesn't have an imaging cabinet at her "smileup tooth health center", and KNOWS she should, and goes to incredible lengths to subtly deal with this orally, get me to do this and that for her TWENTY DOLLAR consultation fee
mircea_popescu: all the way to the drastic sadness of "supermarket" stocking or "posh" hangout places, including there the relationship of the people themselves to the obvious (and obviously disavowed) awareness of their inadequacy.
mircea_popescu: dying-dead-decaying-decayed as a metaphorical approach sounds trite through overuse, but it's also chillingly accurate. from the very specific feel of the particular manner in whichaustro-hungarian architectural heritage's decaying (becayse yes, this is very highly specific, it's not just a word or just ten words, it's "german musical universe" sort of precise, particular and specific)

mircea_popescu: yeah. that thing was beautiful then, but did nto scale.
mircea_popescu: the reason blits won is that you want nipples on the tits, niot just some vague color shade
mircea_popescu: the point was "why api". the anwer is, because underlying reality very complex, it helps to have an indirection layer.

mircea_popescu: called honsoon, to go with the longsoon theme of "supposedly" ?
mircea_popescu: i expect what the fuck happened was -- this dude's mortgage being underwater, the bank clerks started making noises about selling his actual place. so he went "fuck you, ima do a tour, make like 100k or w/e i owe you schmucks, pay off the whole loan!!!"
