mircea_popescu: moreover, software "employees" should be fired. if they're any good that's the best thing that could ever happen to them, and if they suck why would anyone keep em.
kdomanski: in most places if you have a SJW mob coming after you it will be difficult for you to conduct business
kdomanski: mircea_popescu: then again, you aren't most people
mircea_popescu: which is kinda my point here. some shit's being conflated. like that ancient ditty, "si quis, inquis, dives est, tum cenare potest cum cupit. si pauper, tum cenare debet cum potest."
mircea_popescu: if the people you talk about may have opinions, then this doesn't affect them. if it does, then they should have gotten their head out of their ass, understood their situation as slaves and put more effort into massaging the cock of their owners more betterer.

kdomanski: mircea_popescu: I understand is is colorful metaphor for "if you can't take the fallout, STFU and keep your opinions to yourself"?
mircea_popescu: but it's deeper, really. "your impression you may have oppinions MUST be predicated on your certainty you can in fact back them up."
mircea_popescu: people aren't born with the right to like and dislike and opine and so forth. people are born "women and children", which is to say with the obligation to adapt to others likes and dislikes. we call these others "their betters".
mircea_popescu: some people progress from there, some don't, and that's it.
kdomanski: I'm quite certain that ability to prove his statements scientifically (i.e. transsexuals not being homo sapiens) woudn't matter in this context
mircea_popescu: you'll end up with "actors aren'ty human" and other avatars of medieval thoughtmire.
kdomanski: many politically incorrect opinions about race vs intelligence and such have scientific grounds but are nevertheless successfully persecuted
mircea_popescu: science isn't a present day version of "my older brother's in the navy seals" / "we are god's chosen people" where somehow it gives you a magic golen ticket to things.
mircea_popescu: but you're right, a lot of perfectly avoidable, self constructed problems are patently traceable to that misimpression being perhaps deliberately induced in children.

mircea_popescu: it's the land of freakarama over there, what do you think an example's gonna do ?
kdomanski: the actual long-lasting damage being done here is: now they're assembling an universal code of conduct or whatever
mircea_popescu: and ftrr, what is a "career" ? who do you know that has "a career" ?

mircea_popescu: then bubble's back on and they hire any shaved monkey with a pulse.
mircea_popescu: kdomanski the deep reason is that you folk can't eat on your own. obviously there's going to be a code of conduct : he who lives in his parents house observes the fucking rules neh .
mircea_popescu: seinfeld ~had~ a career. it lasted a decade, and he quit while ahead. who the fuck in software has a career ?
mircea_popescu: the lolcows. gavin and co, and it's a shitty career in unintentional comedy at that.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even came up with the idea the concept of "career" is meaningful in a space which mostly aims to hire 20yos.
☟︎ kdomanski: in a space which mostly aims to hire 20yos << that's merely a subset of that space

trinque: really drives home how destructive market distortions can be
mircea_popescu: the other important point is, "whether you get to actually hold it". riches subject to riders like "you may only use this to inflate real estate bubble" aren't much yours anyway.
mircea_popescu: teenaged kids with whoremongering fathers often borrow the cars those drive in an attempt to cargo-cult the whores they bang into existence. perhaps they could be embodied out of their classmates or something.
kdomanski: trinque: money allows to exert influence on people regardless of their political stance

mircea_popescu: midnightmagic a valid point, i don't think the whole thing's properly packaged for public consumption.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all reichs always collapse because of the reich, and the outside enemies. never was it the case "the people" did anything relevant.

mircea_popescu: the fact that they list 3 items, all three being from the list of usg-pretend-issues as opposed to the list of actual issues resolves to my mind the propaganda vs information dilemma. this is in no way related to reality, and entirely the result of how someoine wants reality to appear. any similarities to actual reality being purely coincidental.

ben_vulpes: specially the winblet line - that really blew my stack
danielpbarron: shinohai, the key is that the chicks had already been with other dudes who they then should have married. To be honest, I'm not sure if it counts as adultery or not.
trinque: danielpbarron: my reading of the thing suggests that's more or less the rule
trinque: fuck a virgin; you're supposed to marry her
trinque: but it does seem to lean heavily on whatever the commonly held ideas at the time were re: sex
danielpbarron: it's the right thing to do, to offer the ex-virgin's father payment for her hand in marriage
danielpbarron: another key point is that it is never the virgin who is the victim; it's either her father or her husband. So the modern notion of "cheating" does not apply. It's not adultery for a married man to have sex with another woman so long as she isn't also married to another man
ben_vulpes: convenient solution is available if you take the girl and her kids
ben_vulpes: but what about the girls' agency, danielpbarron?!!!1ONE!?
