mircea_popescu: anyway, what irks me isn't
the weirdo stuff in
the us as much as
the memetic
tendency. if it worked like, "if you want women
to park anywhere and bakers
to bake anything, go
to ohio ; if you want women
to not be allowed
to park anywhere, go
to montana" etc it'd be fine.
mircea_popescu: which is why so much lobby
to not distinguish natural and manufactured women
chetty: mircea_popescu, well it used
to be like
that nayway,
these days it can be a choice
mircea_popescu: it's quite logical, if you care
to follow
the
twisted remants of logic inside
the system
diametric: bakers aren't afforded
the luxury of a special status
chetty: personally I have
trouble seeing
the difference between "women can't park here." and bakers must bake any cake requested
assbot: How
the other half lives, or Michael O. Church is a scummy fuckwit pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: in principle, disallowing absurd selection practices for employers may be unavoidable. otherwise,
think of
that church idiot and his "advice"
diametric: asciilifeform:
there are only very specific sets of
things hoas can't do. For example
they can't say "no blacks allowed" or "women can't park here."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also,
the
thing you cite is employment law.
diametric: usually hoas are run by bored housewives and middle managers
that want
to feel
the power of lording over people.
mircea_popescu: ha! i beat someone
to it for once, even if it was 2nd pass.
mircea_popescu: diametric may have a point. you can prolly ge away with a community agreement where every
tenant has
to play scrabble or some shit
diametric: asciilifeform: re: home owners associations.
they can basically place any number of arbitrary conditions on home ownership.
diametric: asciilifeform: you actually can make stipulations like
that in american housing.
mircea_popescu: let
teenagers suck
the cock and do
the integrals, wtf are
they for.
chetty: not so very different
than making people jump
through gpg hoops
to get voice in here
mircea_popescu: does
that russian forum actually expect someone
to
type out (2/3 * x ** (2/3))/((3/4 * x ** (3/4) -(6/7 * x ** (6/7) )+x as a reply
to a captcha ?
The20YearIRCloud: If i'm going in
those areas, i'm getting land for
the land, not
to build cheap houses
mircea_popescu: but it's simple pattern recognition, right ? of
the ilk of "what is x2 + y2 + 2xy"
assbot: Logged on 06-04-2014 14:59:26; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok. considering
the what/how debate as accepted foundation : at any
time
there's a number of
turkeys and a number of engineers.
mircea_popescu: im not even sure i could do integration by hand, outside of recognising
the formulaic equivalents.
mircea_popescu: the idea holds water
tho. money is supposed
to work as an iq-meter.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, partisan dugouts in
the us may have
to wait a few years.
The20YearIRCloud: there's areas where I live
that
they don't care what you put up or what you live in (Sheds included), but
those aren't areas I want property in
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.
☟︎ The20YearIRCloud: There's
this one
type of soy insullation we want, it's 4x more efficient per cubic meter
than anything fiberglass has
to offer, and some municipalities still don't allow
The20YearIRCloud: the fiberglass people a pretty crazy when it comes
to supressing new
types of insullation
nubbins`: wait, i
thought it was unions
that did his house-pod
things in
The20YearIRCloud: We're just catching on
to doing steel skinned, soy insullated houses
rithm: mircea_popescu i
totally do not follow
the chat and just jump in randomly as if i knew what were going on
The20YearIRCloud: At least, a
trailer lives up
to code when it was built, and it isn't illegal
to use one
that's old as dirt
rithm: shipping container buried
the side of a hill sounds lovely
to me
mircea_popescu: why not just buy shipping containers
then. not so expensive, can be stacked...
The20YearIRCloud: But
the premise is
to
take crappy
trailers, and have my guys refurbish
them in a way
that
they'd be superior
to most conventionally built houses with regards
to energy, and
then rent em out for median pricing
The20YearIRCloud: I've got a pretty good concept of what i want
to do, just need a municipality where I can do it legally
chetty: asciilifeform, no need for
that anymore, mortages grow on gubermint
trees
The20YearIRCloud: we're looking at
two different lots
that have
them, i'm pretty darn excited, it all gets me one step closer
to being
the slumlord I desire
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the us-agitprop makes me chaf. "o noes, you can do anything, retards are people
too, form a circle let's hold hands"
ThickAsThieves: well,
the goal is
to be entertained, not impressed per se :)
mircea_popescu: isn't it some derpy "kid wants
to be fighter jet pilot, cock not big enough, o lala la drama" story ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah,
the pill just makes you uber horny.
mircea_popescu: im almost
tempted by your
theory. "you can sleep better if you never have sex again. here's
the pill"
