mircea_popescu: ut more biomass. look, eg, into the aetiology of osteoporisis (tl;dr : body melts her bones to pump out calcium in milk for baby ; if menopausal it's almost like she's pregnant (ie, low hormonal output) so it melts her bones anyway! because fuck her!)
mircea_popescu: as it happens i am not about to trade my insanely selected (not just http://trilema.com/2017/the-story-of-the-scared-slut/ should plainly indicate that scarcely a girl in a million makes it past my gates) toys for ... what the fuck for, $random-kid ?

mircea_popescu: ~only sane way to look at sexuate reproduction in humans is as an equivalent of taking the minimum wage. it's a thing to do there, like flipping burgers, a safety net so you're never in this position where you have absolutely nothing you could do.
mircea_popescu: in other words, human society has advanced to the point where the spot on the r/K continuum that its primate biology has picked is insufficient. i want it way the fuck K-er, which is why my women reproduce through selecting and training other 16-25yo girls, not through having fucking babies.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the pill is not equivalent to "get pregnant and miscarry". it prevents nidation (ie, the implantation of the fecundated ovary into the uterine wall). pregnancy can at the earliest be deemed to have begun once the morule starts signaling (hormonally), which is days away from this moment. it'd be proper-er to say it gilds their womb.
mircea_popescu: (i dunno if english has it, but the girl with the golden cunt is a sort of folk item in romanian. usually in "wtf has she got, is her cunt golden ?!" inquiries of exasperated exes.)

mircea_popescu: wtf do you do, she douches after ? every time ? you eat it out of her ? does she dribble cum all over the bed as you watch the second half of the movie, so in a coupla weeks your sheet's rigid ?
asciilifeform: most houses have a shower, even in monkeystan
mircea_popescu: so she douches after ? every time ?
asciilifeform: aha?
mircea_popescu: and before, i expect, because hey, you might feel like eating her out ?
asciilifeform: this is not high tech..
mircea_popescu: so she takes on average 20 showers a week, this woman ?
asciilifeform: you dun have to wash whole earthly carcass each time neh
mircea_popescu: which is why i said she douches
mircea_popescu: you said shower.
asciilifeform: in civilized places they also have this bidet thing, but it is too high tech for the monkeys

mircea_popescu: so they don't know what a cum rag is, or a wet spot ?
asciilifeform: but they'll say something like 'oh the sacred spermatozoids made it home, that's just water' or some other poppycock.
asciilifeform: usually improvised on the spot.
mircea_popescu: oh right.
mircea_popescu: the semi-permeable cuntmembrane. it allows photons both ways, cocks both ways, sperms one way only.
mircea_popescu: except while they're still inside the cock, then they can also go both ways.
asciilifeform: the power of faith!!111
mircea_popescu: anyway, this all said, let me closingly point out that it's way the fuck easier for her to lick your condom off than to fish for stray globs inside. to the tune of pleasant minute versus tedious quarter hour.
mircea_popescu: not to mention significantly more depraved.
asciilifeform: reminds me of how i was somewhat surprised to learn that pro machinists ~never wear gloves.
mircea_popescu: well we can't all be pro cuntolgists.
mircea_popescu: someone's gotta be teh amateur.
asciilifeform: ( there is a very famous photo illustrating why not, i will leave it as exercise for reader, to find it )
mircea_popescu: not so sure this is a valid comparison, though. the machinist interacts with the machine with his hands. you're fucking her alright, but you don't interact with her with your penis in the same sense. not by a damned sight.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, we're presumed she's bedbroken, which means she'll come when you tell her to. if you do.
asciilifeform: it is not directly analogous, no. merely reminiscent. chick doesn't have a spindle glove can catch on and wind you around, crushing like insect ( at least mine doesn't, i can't speak for others ... )
asciilifeform: incidentally, davout -- do pilots still wear dogskin gloves ?
mircea_popescu: actually with a little training she can remove your condom, yes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how's that work? you need friction to have grip, neh?
mircea_popescu: rolls it in
mircea_popescu: or how do yo umean ?
asciilifeform: remove with sheer force of cuntgrip?
asciilifeform: i'd picture that there is not enough friction to grip. but if mircea_popescu has demonstrated experimentally -- i'll believe him
mircea_popescu: well, she takes it in loosely and squeezes on the outstroke. provided she can take the whole length, condom will roll up into her.
asciilifeform: aaaah cheating, uses the edge
mircea_popescu: of course.
asciilifeform: ok i was about to 'hmm he fucks lampreys doesnthe'
mircea_popescu: civilian cunt likely doesn't have the fine muscle control, but there's a very thin sphyncter at vaginal entry. though in most girls it's traumatized by bad defloration.

mircea_popescu: the sad thing about war is that it's so sensitive to inflation. ancient civilisations in the middle east got wiped when some dorks with young monkey printing press showed up. the whole german world collapsed under the onslaught of a short corsican "emperor" who was paying his armies in promises rather than gold. etc.

mircea_popescu: trinque re reproduction : i understand what you're saying, but it's a broken view of human congenital effects. you're thinking "hey, genes are A-Z, types A1 to A9 and so following, sorted by quality. therefore, if guy with A1B2C1...Z2 etc is not fucking, all those yummy low digit genes will not be pumped into wombs, instead kids will be A9B8 etc".
mircea_popescu: this is not correct. the chances of you and unsterile mongoloid of having cook kid are about the same.
trinque: hm, if so the thing falls apart ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'regression to the mean' (tm)
mircea_popescu: it's true he has much bigger chances of having a sub-marginal AVERAGE. but if you're discussing exceptional, you're not sensibly better than him at siring the next genius.

mircea_popescu: or whicever grand-mother that was involved. is the problem.
mircea_popescu: this single-agent reproduction model is flawed. there's n generations involved in the process.
mircea_popescu: and there's also complicated and poorly understood problems of fit. it CAN be the case that A+B have horrible children together notwithstanding A and B would be excellent mates for others. this shows up in, eg, horse husbandry all the time -- foal of mare fallen to $random often outperforms foal of same mare with champions.
mircea_popescu: there's numerous examples of this, mares who produced n foals of which the only ones worth a shit they had with $nobody. and all the champs sired junk out of her.

mircea_popescu: large items are hard for the brain to grasp, but it makes a fucking difference if it's pea sized or black hole sized. not SIMPLY because "oh, can't lift it", but because the universe does not scale liniarily.

"gimme muh comfuurt!" an unexpected angle to be sure. can't say i quite agree as to the supreme value of wearing silk underwear on the daily. ☝︎☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 06:45 ben_vulpes: also helmets are hella comfy and i have nfi what you'd need peripheral vision for
pete_dushenski: also, ben_vulpes must not ski (maybe he boards) because peripheral vision is mucho importante when trails merge at high speed
pete_dushenski: and no, no one fucking passes me. lulz of all time that notion.
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628632 << this is a good point actually. falling ~intentionally~ is exceedingly valuable. please to forgive my lack of qualifier in the article. I learned to ski when i was 3 and certainly can't remember those early learning days! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 07:20 diana_coman: hm, the first thing I purposefully learnt when on skis was...how to fall; as in: how to fall *without* breaking anything etc
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628641 >> snowboarding encourages this kind of flat ass falling. no wonder i'm noticing more girlies in 20s and 30s switching ~back~ to two planks after two decades of keeping up with the cool kids (who incidentally aren't cool anymore) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 12:37 mircea_popescu: 99% of sacral fractures are because woman fell flat on her ass like idiot instead of falling on side like nature hardened body to do.
mod6: pete_dushenski: i never thought of it that way.
mod6: it's either your knees or ass.
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628688 << lulzy, yes, but also besides the point! point is magnitude of consequence. duh. even 2% chance nuts imo. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 13:13 asciilifeform: btw pete_dushenski, 'Even with the pill, that forsaken shaman of working woman bondage, the effectiveness is only ~90%.' << this is a lulzy stat, because it lumps in not only user error but outright sabotage
mod6: girls look hawt in snowpants.
pete_dushenski: mod6: mega-hawt! ski boots complete the pkg
pete_dushenski: sadly, the whole 'apres-ski' culture has declined considerably since the 70s, at least around these parts. used to be that hawties with rich papas would show up at the hill, decked out to the 9s and with $500 boots over their shoulder, and just chill and drink in the chalet all day ☟︎
mod6: haha.
pete_dushenski has never skiied in switzerland or italy, can't speak to liveliness of apres-ski culture there
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628693 << i didn't know that there were ~any~ plusses to having just one girl. now i do! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 13:18 asciilifeform: pete_dushenski seems to be missing out on the 1 and only plus of having just 1 gurl : losing the plastic bag
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: even having 1 leg has its upsides, fewer socks to wash.
pete_dushenski: hehe
pete_dushenski: you're such an optimist
mod6: lol

trinque: so sex is not meant to feel good? the fuck?
trinque: I'm not fucking anyone because "value"
trinque: tends to be a lot less abstract
trinque: turns out they shipped human males with this giant "yes" lever
trinque: lol, in fact, isn't it whores that focus on the value proposition!? (I kid)
shinohai: !~later tell mod6 all the pherkin tests looked good, even when I intentionally muddle the press.
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai bbl dinner ....
pete_dushenski: trinque: lol some of us are more cerebral than sexual. mebbe can't 'get out of own way' but it's what it is.
trinque: different strokes
pete_dushenski: but both long!

pete_dushenski: in animals as in men, "March 16 (UPI) -- A Moscow petting zoo is suing the advertising company that rented a raccoon, saying it was used in an "erotic" shoot with a nude model and now the raccoon is obsessed with women's breasts."
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: see logs
