mircea_popescu: you absolutely muyst see
this film.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is impossible
to have rural nonsimpletonism also for fundamental reasons.

to me
that
the self sufficiency is more
threatening
to
the omni-state
mircea_popescu: (as
to
the other point,
the orbital spybots are a crapshot. earth based antenna is obv
the right approach
to
the problem)
mircea_popescu: this is untrue, it only looks similar because
they're
too far away.
mircea_popescu: the hayseeds imagine
the urban despisement of
their simpletonism is
the same as
the utopian hatred of
their self sufficiency.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:
the folks pushing
the 'urban' ('totalitarian', etc, pick favourite
term) <<
these seriously aren't equivalent.
mircea_popescu: obviously a car without an engine will continue
to be a car without an engine for as long as hills and people willing

to work lol.
decimation: "if we can't bring everyone up
to your level
then we will
tear you down"
decimation: re: gov't control: witness
the usg attempting
to "control" "guns"
decimation: the "space fence",
transmitter blasted nearly 1 megawatt skyward
to 'ping' off satellites
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: eventual goal, for
the state, is an endgame where you can't grow your own potato in secret any more
than you can produce your own 14nm cpu. << eventual endgame, for
the utopian socialist/nazist state, as for any utopian/figment of imagination, is human relevancy.
decimation: Due
to resource constraints caused by sequestration, Air Force Space Command officials have directed

mircea_popescu: handwaved as "well if
there's
too many subs
to
track
then
that says all we wanted
to know anyway rite ?"
mircea_popescu: it's not currently able
to handle massed
targets well.
this is, and has been, long known documented weakness
mircea_popescu: there's nothing
to do submerged anyway.
the only real reason
to move is abvout
the same as getting new ips, ie, avoid
the enemy.
decimation: note
that if you want go at any reasonable speed you must be on
the surface, as ascii said
mircea_popescu: decimation i
tell you, if
the
tesla experiment works out we're going
to see subs.
mircea_popescu: "yes you may gather
together
to overthrow
the state, just as long as you get an approval form stamped by said state"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: a historical annoyance, for all forms of state, is
that folks can, in general, grow food without asking it permission first. <<<
this brings
to mind
the ridiculous "permit
to assemble" device.
mircea_popescu: no, srsly. controlling masturbation in little girls was much more a priority in victorian england
that in
teh case of boys
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa indeed, and ironically i suspect it's exactly for
this reason.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
teacher rubbing vulva on corners is no indication of an absence of hands, pockets or brain.
kuzetsa: asciilifeform: women's clothing
tends not
to have many pockets :(
nubbins`: not sure if
this was autoerotic or candida
mircea_popescu: people'd have been sticking cunt drawings on her back for
the rest of her life.
mircea_popescu: see, a
teacher like
that'd have never survived in mp's school.
nubbins`: fwiw she used
to grind her vulva on
the corners of desks when helping students
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at lulzranch : carnivores having well developed
teeth is in no way a predictor of
their preference in eating meat over say photosynthesis.
nubbins`: these were put on
the classroom bulletin board for
the next few weeks
nubbins`: once in sixth grade, our
teacher made us draw cocks for homework
mircea_popescu: something being asserted by a state sponsored "ed" program of any kind is more a predictor of
the something being wrong
than right.
mircea_popescu: yeah, made by
the same people, with
the same political aggenda, and with
the same utter ignorance and disrespect for observable reality.
kuzetsa: colleges have sex ed and related programs
too, not just primary schools
nubbins`: how about
the marijuana supports
terr.. oh, wait
mircea_popescu: i've yet
to see a psa "ed" effort
that was accurate in details.
mircea_popescu: i couldn't begin
to give less of a shit about what sex "ed" programs say
there, wherever
that is.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: I've seen quite a lot, but even if
that wasn't
the case,
the sex ed programs here don't promote fallacious negative images about people's sexuality because of genital shape
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu:
the size of
the folds of ones labia is not directly proportional
to sexual activity, but only differs with natural variation from person
to person... your logic is invalid for calling
that slutty... or is
this just your headcanon for
that particular pony? in which case, I agree, she's awful
nubbins`: mp
the floating one w/
the rainbow hair is probably
the most represented in cosplay etc
mircea_popescu: so composed out of
thermal electro plant, battery recharge stations and a fleet of subs...
mircea_popescu: and im not sure who can afford
to piss off a nation of submarineers, but it wouldn't be
the us.
mircea_popescu: let
there be electric recharge stations on
the ocean floor.
mircea_popescu: tell you what : a current car spends 90% of
time in
the garage. fu
that.
mircea_popescu: well, lettuce see.
the submarine is submerged. it does not care about "weather" in either fluid sense. with
the new fleshlights and
tumblr pr0nz... i defy you
to find a bunch of 20somethings whose current life would be differen if
they were subbed.
mircea_popescu: it's not
that familiar
to me, i'm a sf noob/ignoramus :D
mircea_popescu: leaving
the landspace
to be inhabited by
the proles,
toiling in
the mines and sub factories under
the carcinogenic sun
