mp_en_viaje: trinque, i don't expect 1960s tx is reproducible outside of a hard reset. highly coherent, profoundly skilled workforce in a complete worldview will absolutely require the conditions that spawned them, and will necessarily dissolve once the solvents show up.

mp_en_viaje: 1960 texas is predicated on the remnants of three centuries' british struggles with the dutch encountering six centuries spanish struggles with the beasts of the land, women, horses, cattle generally, defeating it in the field and then having the intelligence to rape the carcass raw.

mp_en_viaje: by the time the 80s roll around and everyone's driving and they kick the cattle out ass by ass to plonk down oil rigs, it's done for. the distances narrowed, and oil trade is integrating in ways cattle trading is not.

mp_en_viaje: no joke about the spanyards, either. Mientras que, bajo el peso del trigo, los ejes cansados los siento quejar, yo, anudando mi pena a esa queja, con cantos y silbos te sé acompañar. is a fucking thing, which they did. thoroughly, and well -- or if not well, then as well as could be done, for sure.

mp_en_viaje: but the end's always gonna be buey zaraza, tus ojos tristones mirando la huella parecen buscar el milagro de aquellos pasitos que al irse la ingrata no supo dejar. it has to.

mp_en_viaje: for that matter : by the time the 60s rolled around there were adult tejanos all over texas shaking their head at this elvis greasy, faggoty bs and thinking back to a greater time in, say, 1890, back when cattle was still speaking spanish and the east coast dudes hadn't really shown up with their idioties, "how to make it all cheap". while in the actual 1890, actual mexicans in texas were looking up through almanacs at the

mp_en_viaje: time of the revolution and read all up on Antoine de Saussure Peronette de Crocketagne's grandson's adventures.

mp_en_viaje: meanwhile while we're talking, the former us state of texas is being taken over by an emergent new world isis, undeclared as such, but stronger nevertheless, the "cartels" in pantsuitspeak.

mp_en_viaje: it's probably simpler to go help them hang Cecilia Phalen Abbott by her fallopian tubes than to go build yourself a time machine, on the purely technological standard.

mp_en_viaje: and on the cultural standard, you'll still have to explain both, it's not like one's free. "but but but, greg abbot was ~trying~ to be good!" vs "what does this button do ?", doesn't seem you're saving anything either way. always cheaper to live in the present than to reconstruct the past.

mp_en_viaje: in other lulz, /me surveying thoroughly harvested resource nodes : "damn, how come every time i find a rare it's 0/5. i should kill all the other players." then, after some reflectiion : "the problem's if i killed them all, who'd then buy all my shit". helpful slavegirl : "maybe you should put them in buying internment camp". /me thinking about it "i guess that's what the us actually is".

mp_en_viaje: nothing ever is a true ethnowot.

mp_en_viaje: there was a chinese man at king louis' court. human reproduction so greatly benefits from a little bit of exogamy, no human society was ever unporous.

mp_en_viaje: the main thrust of my earlier comments was that it's likely you'll have to moderate your expectations. there's a humongous difference between what i mean by nice and what i suspect behind your "place-and-period" indication. in approximate math terms, you want something 3 or 4 sigmas away from what i want.

mp_en_viaje: there's tremendous difference between "i want something like that but with a better face" and "i want a great looking woman that's my 5th grade classmate from back in jr high".
