the infirm
deadweasel: omg I hope

truffles: maybe u should stop
the coffee
thats
thinning u out?
truffles: didnt i
tell u not
to have it
touch
the edges
nubbins`: oh, i learned
that
the reason pineapple makes my mouth bleed is because
the core is full of meat
tenderizer
nubbins`: peaberry coffees have lots of
tannins
too
mircea_popescu: reds usually have a lot of
tanic acid. which is how you
tan hides. who wants a
tanned gut.
nubbins`: 30 minutes later, falling around
the bar, unable
to stand up
nubbins`: attempted
to shiss it into a bucket
nubbins`: there was a "performance artist" did a
thing here some years ago
nubbins`: deadweasel: you wanna get jacked, switch
to light roast
deadweasel: just curious what
the purpose is, or If I should go make coffee and bacon.
mircea_popescu: deadweasel yes. we're
trying
to see if we manage
to erupt in full assets riot or not.
deadweasel: do we have problem we are
trying
to solve with
these over generalizations?
truffles: <ThickAsThieves> popular rap is popular with white people>>> orly, so what r
the blacks listening
to?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well seeing how
the demographics are like, anything popular will be popular with white people. blacks are what, 12% if
that.
nubbins`: altho neither will save you from
the gulag
ThickAsThieves: this is popular
thing, not one every individual will feel
nubbins`: i
think "pussy" sells porn better
mircea_popescu: if anything,
this is
the basis i'd argue against your
theory
ThickAsThieves
mircea_popescu: i don't recall anyone discovering
that saying "cunt" sells porn better
than any other word, so it never became a big
thing.
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that i ever wanted
to hear a word in preference of another
ThickAsThieves: but it's also rooted in
that white people wanna hear it
mircea_popescu: and so
they have
to fake quality. gotta use
the
TOP words
then,
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: what's
the color black called in romanian?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves here's
the
thing : rappers sell puff. in matters of puff, god forbid your puff is perceivced as less "quality"
than
the other's puff.
deadweasel: best black artists don't use
the word nigger in
their rap
deadweasel: they were already enslaved and now
they are pressuring ecah other?
ThickAsThieves: when black rappers dont say it,
they are not
taken as seriously
mircea_popescu: nubbins` maybe
too distant a root. and it's not latin per se anyway, iirc it came from spanish/creole.
truffles: i
think mp uses it implying
that its just as bad as any word like "stupid"?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: well, if we're
talking roots, examine
the latin "niger"
ThickAsThieves: there is a pressure for black rappers
to use
the word nigger in
their lyrics
deadweasel: these words have meanings only in your minds, and
they will all differ slightly.
truffles: u have a logical stance on
the word, implying
that
the hate will go away?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` iirc queer means "funny", as in, different. at least at
the root.
truffles: im
trying
to understand both points of views
truffles: TAT are u
trying
to educate mp os?

ThickAsThieves: nigger was a word
to equate
their value with
that of livestock
mircea_popescu: what i see in it (from
the outside mind you) is an exact equivalent of
the "lame"
mircea_popescu: imo
that's all a confusion.
they weren;t called niggers because
they were slaves,
they were called niggers because
they were perceived stunted
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: i know plenty of people who refer
to
themselves as "queer" with no hint of irony
mircea_popescu: as far as i can
tell slavery is a positive word
today.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i dunno
that it has much
to do with slavery really.
