asciilifeform: sows don't ~know~ either.
trinque: clearly moar than one out there
mircea_popescu: there may be something to this whole sweat angle!
mircea_popescu: that whenever we do pe she has this urge to go lick the sweat off guys' chests
mircea_popescu: ok, so, in junior high, this friend confessed to me (under the strictest confidence!!! which i've not to date betrayed, either. totally forgot it)
mircea_popescu: anyway : the nedeflorena looking character on the left is some wanna-be poet, ie unmarrigeable and unskilled but by now too old boring female. the other one is an ambitious sort, trying to make money by selling crap, in this case vegan food. she's at some point a decade ago briefly attempted to exploit for pr reasons this mentally deranged cat lady suzanne-something, who claims to be the "suzanne feeds you oranges" in leonard

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: or (as discussed by naggum), what is worse, 'we will learn from the Success! of microshit'
mircea_popescu: trinque the king wasn't in any sense shitty, mind. you familiar with the tea story, yes ?
mircea_popescu: misconstrued circumstantial constraints, "we're a business, we don't have the time to fix the world" "oh, those guys failed, we gotta '''learn''' from their experience" etc
