liquidassets: wait wut? is partial food the 'cause'? or is there some reason for this ? lol
BingoBoingo: Or maybe try Olestra for the same purpose

BingoBoingo: punkman: Depends where in the chain you buy it.
BingoBoingo: If you go to Walmart a kilo of powder is right about $20, but can be had for more or less.
punkman: olive oil doesn't go rancid like tallow btw
BingoBoingo: I bet it can. Anyways right now I'm thinking about the low calorie version with Olestra/Sefnose/Astroglide as the lipid
punkman: why not pure whey if you are going for low calories?
BingoBoingo: Because expensive and lipids are needed to produce a nut butter consistency
BingoBoingo: Prolly also add Theobromine for the habit forming
liquidassets: oh god my side hurts
liquidassets: ok ok, it doesn't actually contain any bromine, I suppose that's a good thing
punkman: well you also get the bonus anal leakage with teh indiegestible lipids

BingoBoingo: <punkman> well you also get the bonus anal leakage with teh indiegestible lipids << It means at the gymp people will really think you are putting your all into your squats
punkman: yes, that is why I don't buy peanutbutter, too tasty, too much fat
punkman: I got the idea of pistachio butter stuck in my head last few weeks though
BingoBoingo: Also gotta remember I'm not necessarily thinking about something I'd want to eat. I'm imagineering a product that could be marketed to great success and high margin
punkman: I don't see the margins, unless you can get dirt cheap whey. maybe another source of protein.
punkman: cockroach protein perhaps?

asciilifeform: i suppose in 1890 white was a healthy thing, while black meant 'cowardly, dystrophic, lost in fancies'
asciilifeform: the timez, they changez
mircea_popescu: the very notion that "i dun wanna compete with the young" is symptomatic. really, you've somehow digested the situation where you can't compete with the kids at kids stuff and this isn't making you wantr to kill yourself ?
mircea_popescu: but yeah, in 1890 white meant "billy, don't take your guns to town".
mircea_popescu: how the fuck did that work, supposedly kids are much better at playing videogames than older ppls. cuz of the reflexes and shit, right ?
asciilifeform: it works as greenspun described.
mircea_popescu: which is this, the cichlid thing ?
asciilifeform: aha!
mircea_popescu: now maybe im slow, but i dun see hopw that relates.
asciilifeform: it is entirely possible for an old (to a point) man to shoot better, take more physical punishment, run faster, even - than disposable cannon fodder. to a point. but the one thing that doesn't grow back is... WANTING TO. i.e. thinking that, in greenspun's words, 'the group is worth impressing' via suicidal stupidity
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: being white.
mircea_popescu: being white is, by and large, "not wanting to be alive anymore".
mircea_popescu: which chtonic inclination is both understandable with cultural age and certain to meet its satisfaction.
asciilifeform: this'd be possibly the one place where everybody eventually gets what he wants.
mircea_popescu: aha.
mircea_popescu: anyway, greenspun in this interpretation embodies the affliction, in how he falsely if conveniently paints a will-to-live in the terms of "impressing the group"
mircea_popescu: if you think the stotting buck is stotting "to impress the she-herd" you've spent a little too much time i nschool.
mircea_popescu: yes, the behaviour has that effect. but the buck stotts because it can, not "so as to".
asciilifeform: he is 'trying' in the same way bird 'tries' when sings ☟︎
asciilifeform: the 'purpose' thing is sprayed on by foolish people, yes.
mircea_popescu: where's that french song
mircea_popescu: y a-t-il un soir, un moment ou l'on se dit c'est plus pour moi
