mircea_popescu: what, cause
the
teenagers
there are really really frustrated ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> under it some metal blades
turn in step with
the engine closing contacts
to fire
the spark plugs. << Distributor cap

chetty: drowning dinos? never heard
that one
mircea_popescu: "Of course I hesitate
to argue as I am doing here for fear of encouraging xtians
to have even more children and raising
them
to believe in Noah's Flood." << ironically,
that's in all likelihood an actual event.
punkman1: guess it wasn't as great as
they imagined
punkman1: didn't
the blues start after
the slaves became without a master?
mircea_popescu: under it some metal blades
turn in step with
the engine closing contacts
to fire
the spark plugs.
mircea_popescu: punkman1 look at
that, " You'll feel
the wetness during penetration and orgasm,
thanks
to a lube reservoir
that knows when and how much
to release."
they made bubblejet printing do something useful ?
mircea_popescu: in fact, sitting
there whining about
the delco cap is so unlike
the blues
they made a new word for it. it's emo.
mircea_popescu: one gets
the blues because he worked
ten years
to make enough money
to marry
this girl
that he really really loves, and she loves him, and now
they're married and YET.
mircea_popescu: one doesn't get
the blues because he can't figure out how
to remove
the delco cap.

mircea_popescu: the blues is
the common man's understanding of
the doomed human condition, has nothing
to do with fucking failure.
mircea_popescu: A whole musical genre---the blues---showcases life failure. "Singing
the blues" is figuratively what sexually worthless nerds do on Usenet, except it doesn't fly with women as unembellished prose. << o
that's fucking bullshit.
mircea_popescu: now
tell me
there's anyone in existence who's not rendered at
the very least slightly curious.
mircea_popescu: "DESTROYA Upon entry,
three small rings of bumps will grasp you
tightly, followed by
the ultra piercing pleasure dome
that will give you 360 degrees of unmatched bliss.
The next chamber starts with a small row of
teeth and fangs
that delightfully rub and pull at you. Finally, one row of large bumps leads into a super ribbed
texture
that narrows
the farther you get inside."
mircea_popescu: you know ? fiddy bux. less
than any conceivable bar
tag.
mthreat: <mircea_popescu> holy shit now
they've done it. fuckable lcd screen, seriously ? << gotta love
the internet
mircea_popescu: here you are going nicely along, making
this fluffy uniform complex sauce, when suddenly... boom. for "no fucking reason". it's bits. can't be saved.)
mircea_popescu: (the mayonnaise cutting, for
the readers
that never made mayo, is
this absolutely catastrophic event from hell.
mircea_popescu: my problem with sf is more personal i guess. i
think i have a very finnicky suspension of disbelief, makes
the mayo cut extremely easy for me.
mircea_popescu roughly speaking despises all us style fiction,
to
the point of not actually liking most sf.
mike_c: i can't
think of anyone else. you're right, 1% is good.
mircea_popescu: and if you do read
the book, its prolly going
to be something like knuth or whatever other exceptionally well systhematising works, which are again well in
the past.
jurov: certain bestseller endorsed by Governor of Canada comes
to mind
mike_c: percentage should perhaps be a smidge higher for an engineer, but i like it as a rule of
thumb.
mircea_popescu: i suspect
this is a good rule of
thumb. and equally good in 1700 for
that matter.
mircea_popescu: i
think less
than 1% of
the books i ever read were published after my birth.
mike_c: empirical evidence only. what people
tell me
they are reading.
mike_c: 99.9% of
the books
that get read provide no more intellectual stimulation
than an episode of family guy.
mircea_popescu: and walk around
talking
to other bearded men in sarafans
mircea_popescu: if people REALLY wanted intellectual stimulation,
they wouldn't read books,
they'd listen
to music.
mircea_popescu: Face it, movies are eye candy
trash. If people want intellectual stimulation
they read books.
There's nothing funnier
than a pseudo-intellectual
trying
to get pompous about "film." << fucking hater o noes.
mircea_popescu: tually verified in practice. indian women are more
than a little reluctant
to get married.
mircea_popescu: "If marriage constituted more
than a hypothetical risk of getting raped, I would expect women
to learn
to avoid it as women have learned
to avoid walking around alone at night, or at least show some reluctance
to get married, as women often show reluctance
to put
themselves into positions of vulnerability with men
they just met or men
they have gotten
to know and decided
they don't want
to have sex with." <<
this is ac
mircea_popescu: Today,
the Internet brings every imaginable form of pornography
to every home.
The Internet is
too valuable for
too many
things
to just ban, and we can't even regulate spam
that nobody wants, much less a product such as porn for which enormous demand exists."
mircea_popescu: "Look at how
the Internet has overwhelmed opponents of pornography. Back in
the 1970's,
the conservatives who ruled some
towns were able
to wipe out pornographic bookstores and
theaters. Depending on what
town you lived in, pornography might have been hard
to come by.
mircea_popescu: (in
the purely math sense : i'm probably going
to be able
to write a simple
transform)
mircea_popescu: how would
they be different issues ?
they're both functions of knowledge and power. f(k,p) and h(k,p) aren't gonna be all
that different.
chetty: sure
they can, not for most
tho I guess
chetty: I
thought we were
talking about sex, money is a different issue :P

mircea_popescu: years of service
they had forgotten how
to work.
They were soon doubled up with back-ache, and
they missed
their dominoes."
mircea_popescu: "The real
trouble was
that
the planners and accountants had failed
to make provision for
this work.
The free women workers employed in
the kitchen refused
to do it:
they were paid only
to cook.
The administration
tried
to foist it on
to
the guards in
their off-duty hours when
they would otherwise have been playing dominoes in
the guardroom.
The guards were all healthy young men, chosen for
their
toughness. But in
their
chetty: well I can't see why a woman would want a derp
that is happy with a
tube, let him go have his 'fun'.
mircea_popescu: i am generally forced
to admit
that yes, "especially for you, it would be."
mircea_popescu: and so he privately wonders why
the fuck would i bother with a stable of slaves. "isn't it hard work ?!"
mircea_popescu: the average kid
today doesn't understand why i'd have bothered with a fixed cabled phone at any point
mircea_popescu: "Most present-day women would not be able
to compete with future sexbots any more
than most present-day women could compete with Halle Berry, if Halle Berry were
throwing herself at you."
mircea_popescu: all
that "lol at sexist women ads from
the 50s" obliquely misses
the point
that "honey,
that was
then. i wouldn 't settle for a carbureter
today, and i wouldn't settle for a 50s housewife only. do more. MUCH more."
mircea_popescu: confronted
to
this fact, women balk at exactly how fucking expensive it'd be
to
try and compete. "what, be fucking pleasant ?"
mircea_popescu: it's
the sad fact of
the matter
than if you do
the nude math, a
tube is actually a better girlfriend
than whatever random
town dweller may run into.
that's roughly a
third (of western women) of a fifth (western world).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this
tech is called "derp not giving a shit".
this
tech is here yet.
mircea_popescu: feminists better yell loudly right now, because i can almost feel
the volume button
turning.
mircea_popescu: lcd displays + internet connection HAVE been steadily replacing dating all over
the parts of
the world
that have cheap broadband.
mircea_popescu: Namworld because as it
turns out, nobody actually wants
the woman.
Namworld: Guess we just haven't got good enough 3d printing
technology and realistic human behavior/movement for robots. Yet.
Namworld: At
that point, why not just go for full sized, fully 3-dimensional sexbots you can print designs on with a 3d printer?
mircea_popescu: mthreat better yet, you know of a place in ba
that sells
that cheap inflatable furniture ?
