Beauty is subjective. Not a 10 for me, but definitely up there. Someone else on reddit today mentioned a 10/10 that I wouldn't give more than an 8 (Meg Turney)Quote:

Who the fuck gives any female a 10?
Personally I prefer scoring out of 30 ala Patrice O'Neal. For example, Angelina Jolie is like a 19. She's a really good-looking alright-looking bitch.
We should score everyone in binary, out of 64Quote:

having never been to new york I always imagined it to be a lot like the chapter the market in naked lunch.
Spoiler:THE MARKET
Panorama of the City of Interzone. Opening bars of East St. Louis Toodleoo… at times loud and clear then faint and intermittent like music down a windy street….
The room seems to shake and vibrate with motion. The blood and substance of many races, Negro, Polynesian, Mountain Mongol, Desert Nomad, Polyglot Near East, Indian — races as yet unconceived and unborn, combinations not yet realized pass through your body. Migrations, incredible journeys through deserts and jungles and mountains (stasis and death in closed mountain valleys where plants grow out of genitals, vast crustaceans hatch inside and break the shell of body) across the Pacific in an outrigger canoe to Easter Island. The Composite City where all human potentials are spread out in a vast silent market.
Minarets, palms, mountains, jungle… A sluggish river jumping with vicious fish, vast weed-grown parks where boys lie in the grass, play cryptic games, Not a locked door in the City. Anyone comes into your room at any time. The Chief of Police is a Chinese who picks his teeth and listens to denunciations presented by a lunatic. Every now and then the Chinese takes the toothpick out of his mouth and looks at the end of it. Hipsters with smooth copper-colored faces lounge in doorways twisting shrunk heads on gold chains, their faces blank with an insect’s unseeing calm.
Behind them, through open doors, tables and booths and bars, and kitchens and baths, copulating couples on rows of brass beds, crisscross of a thousand hammocks, junkies tying up for a shot, opium smokers, hashish smokers, people eating talking bathing back into a haze of smoke and steam.
Gaming tables where the games are played for incredible stakes. From time to time a player leaps up with a despairing cry, having lost his youth to an old man or become Latah to his opponent. But there are higher stakes than youth or Latah, games where only two players in the world know what the stakes are.
All houses in the City are joined. Houses of sod — high mountain Mongols blink in smokey doorways — houses of bamboo and teak, houses of adobe, stone and red brick, South Pacific and Maori houses, houses in trees and river boats, wood houses one hundred feet long sheltering entire tribes, houses of boxes and corrugated iron where old men sit in rotten rags cooking down canned heat, great rusty iron racks rising two hundred feet in the air from swamps and rubbish with perilous partitions built on multi-levelled platforms, and hammocks swinging over the void.
Expeditions leave for unknown places with unknown purposes. Strangers arrive on rafts of old packing crates tied together with rotten rope, they stagger in out of the jungle their eyes swollen shut from insect bites, they come down the mountain trails on cracked bleeding feet through the dusty windy outskirts of the city, where people defecate in rows along adobe walls and vultures fight over fish heads. They drop down into parks in patched parachutes,… They are escorted by a drunken cop to register in a vast public lavatory. The data taken down is put on pegs to be used as toilet paper.
Cooking smells of all countries hang over the City, a haze of opium, hashish, the resinous red smoke of Yage, smell of the jungle and salt water and the rotting river and dried excrement and sweat and genitals.
High mountain flutes, jazz and bebop, one-stringed Mongol instruments, gypsy xylophones, African drums, Arab bagpipes…
The City is visited by epidemics of violence, and the untended dead are eaten by vultures in the streets. Albinos blink in the sun. Boys sit in trees, languidly masturbate. People eaten by unknown diseases watch the passerby with evil, knowing eyes.
In the City Market is the Meet Cafe. Followers of obsolete, unthinkable trades doodling in Etruscan, addicts of drugs not yet synthesized, pushers of souped-up Harmaline, junk reduced to pure habit offering precarious vegetable serenity, liquids to induce Latah, Tithonian longevity serums, black marketeers of World War III, excisors of telepathic sensitivity, osteopaths of the spirit, investigators of infractions denounced by bland paranoid chess players, servers of fragmentary warrants taken down in hebephrenic shorthand charging unspeakable mutilations of the spirit, bureaucrats of spectral departments, officials of unconstituted police states, a Lesbian dwarf who has perfected operation Bang-utot, the lung erection that strangles a sleeping enemy, sellers of orgone tanks and relaxing machines, brokers of exquisite dreams and memories tested on the sensi-tized cells of junk sickness and bartered for raw materials of the will, doctors skilled in the treatment of diseases dormant in the black dust of ruined cities, gathering virulence in the white blood of eyeless worms feeling slowly to the surface and the human host, maladies of the ocean floor and the stratosphere, maladies of the laboratory and atomic war…. A place where the unknown past and the emergent future meet in a vibrating soundless hum… Larval entities waiting for a Live One…
I've watched Seinfeld so I know this has to be pretty close.
I have a harem of young boys languidly masturbating in trees around my house. Keeps the property value up.
Man I love Burroughs.
dont kid yourself, 90% of the chicks posted to /r/beautifulfemales are 10s. unless your name is spoon and you don't save your "this is how to treat females in order to maximize positive outcomes regarding them" thing for when actually dealing with females.

You wouldn't switch lives with me (and I wouldn't switch lives with you) because those switched lives don't match up with what the other wants.
fwiw i've never meant anything about "how you handle females". i think you probably handle them spectacularly. in fact ive been meaning to ask you to expand on how you tutor females math differently than males.Quote:

The TL;DR version is that I focus a lot on managing anxiety with females since that's the #1 killer of both interest and learning the material. I've not had success with this approach in kids under about 12 since they tend to just not be anxious and really just not care.Quote:

Between 11-13 years ago, I ran a big county-wide chess situation for the elementary/middle schools (our elementary schools were K-8 at the time and included middle school grades). There were eight elementary schools, and they all had chess clubs. I would visit each chess club about once a month (about two visits to schools each week) to teach and extend an invitation to a weekly group I had going at this restaurant near the center of the county. This restaurant had some big conference type rooms full of tables and chairs that they were nowhere close to filling most of the time, so they let us reserve it for one day each week. They enjoyed it because most of the kids ate something there, and it gave them more business.
I want to point out that this chess club at the restaurant basically stopped happening after I handed it off to an elementary school guidance counselor about 2-3 months after I had to move out of the area for school.
At its peak, we had about 60-70 kids coming weekly for somewhere between 9-12 months. This actually led to me getting a job offer from this chess academy in Charlotte (http://www.charlottechesscenter.org/) for $20/hour full-time, which I stupidly turned down because of the timing and having already committed to moving to Raleigh right after I finished my second year of college, but that's kind of outside of the scope of what I'm wanting to bring up here.
So out of these 60-70 kids were about 10 girls, and they mostly took advantage of the chess club there as a chance to socialize (with one exception that I'll get to in a moment). None of them were particularly interested in getting better. In comparison, virtually all of the boys were there because it was an opportunity for them to improve.
The one girl exception I mentioned above was in the 6th or 7th grade, and she was the youngest of five children. She had four older brothers, and she was constantly in competition with them. She was largely socialized to be competitive, and because of that, she was a bit of an outcast from the rest of the girls. She really thought they were pretty dumb because they didn't care about being better and just "wanted to talk about boys," etc.
This really stood out to me as being a good example of the majority of the girls kind of acting how they naturally act and the exception acting differently because of environmental factors. This was particularly interesting to me because she was very feminine in her appearance and how she acted otherwise, and she was frequently even the only girl there to wear a dress (the others would be in jeans and t-shirts). She got a lot of attention from boys too, and she seemed to blow most of them off because she thought they were dumb.

The smaller gates mean more can be fit into the same volume, so the complexity of a given chip can increase by many orders of magnitude.
The initial change was a material only slightly better than the previous one, but the outcome is a new computer chip architecture.

This is what tipped me off:
The area codes were distributed by population within the zone. NYC was most populous at that time, and got the area code 212, the lowest possible code, given other factors (can't start with a 1, etc.). Hawaii was given the highest possible code, 808, accordingly.
The most populated area codes were the shortest to dial.
I design in boolean logic. I get how a rotary phone yes/no's its way to connect a call. I get how a touch screen yes/no's it's way around the internet. But how you take in raw visual data and pick out the traffic commands from the wandering citizens... that's magic.

It's still a series of yes/no's. You take the data of one image and you perform an edge detection algorithm. You have a lookup table of what different configurations of edges mean. You no/no/no/yes through the data table until you find a match. Then you follow the instructions attached to that yes.Quote:

Then you have another lookup table that says, when object XX is moving in YY manner, perform ZZ Top's hit single, "Sharp Dressed Man."

i love how much he loathes gays' embrace of mainstream culture, like how what can be sometimes assessed as gay privilege to subvert norms is itself subverted by the embrace of mainstream culture. it's not so much that he's right (no single side on the issue of either embracing culture or subverting it is exclusive in its correctness), but it's a neat point.
spoon should love him as he claims that gay men are intellectually superior to straight men.
Literally nobody cares about strict gayness because it's so tied to white males. It's all about trans now if you want to get into the real victimhood shit because that's where you start seeing a super-high incident of mental illness and poor "men" wearing shitty makeup and calling themselves trans because they were picked last for kickball.Quote:

Semi-related: All women are bisexual or gay, according to some new shit that's out now, and I can confirm that I have never, ever, ever met a woman who was 100% opposed to fucking another woman.
he has some fantastic points about how he thinks gays are being pocketed by the authoritarian left and in turn subjugated just like everybody else, meaning that gays used to be leaders against the behavioral herding of divergent cultures yet are now mostly convergent with the herders themselves. it's about how those who just twenty years ago suffered great intolerance have become themselves intolerant of others. he's not saying that this is gay culture, but that gays and sympathizers are in the early stages of being converted into intolerant warriors of the authoritarian left. the left does this to everybody, just like it hijacked feminism and civil rights and even education and turned them intolerant, among many others.
Diversity means chasing down the last straight-identifying, white male.Quote:

A chick going in about how she believes in ghosts is such an enormous turn-off.
I think we actually ran a guy out of the FTR IRC chat back when it was booming like 5-6 years ago because he went in on how he did as well.
What's important (to me) isn't the words they use to describe what they believe, but how their beliefs mold their actions.
Are they kind? Are they considerate? etc.
These are what matters.
But yeah... talking about ghosts as if they are real is a turn-off.

There's nothing wrong with the belief itself, imo. What's wrong is the "I can't be wrong" mentality. And that's not something that only religious folk and flat earthers are guilty of. Many atheists think they are somehow different to religious folk, when actually they ram their non beliefs down people's throats in exactly the same way.
I think it's stupider to say "ghosts definitely don't exist" than it is to say "ghosts might exist in some form, and if they do there's a scientific explanation for it". It's like saying flies definitely don't have thoughts. Easier to say that prove. No less pseudoscience than what you're trying to mock.
Using flat earthers as a point of reference isn't particularly accurate. I mean there's proof the world is a sphere. There's proof these people are either idiots or trolls.
There's no proof one way or the other with shit like souls, consciousness, or that elephant with the arms.

There are plenty of people who could immigrate to the country that would create a net positive for everyone, and there are plenty who would create a net negative. If policies on immigration are too strict, then they create an effective net negative for the country because they keep out too many people who would have a net positive effect. On the other hand, if policies on immigration are too loose, then they create an effective net negative for the country for obvious reasons.
The politically correct/SJW victim culture has pressured several governments in Europe into having immigration policies that are entirely too loose from optimal. That's why Sweden is currently the rape capital of the west (source, source, source), and it's why attacks like the one in France last night are going to keep happening until something's done to get things back closer to optimal.
france being just a rowboat ride from africa might have something to do with it.
