The main premise of this essay / braindump / humour piece is that there is a strong correlation between competence and ability (see Karl Marx’s misled quote ) and between sexiness / attractiveness / "hot"ness. I do not give a citation because I am an amateur philosopher.
This attractiveness may in turn correspond to human biological fitness, which does not fully correlate with the so-called Physical fitness .
We are planning to collect as many sexualised and even "sexist" jokes about both females and males from our arsenal to evoke a strong "#MeToo" reaction which we will then take to our advantage. Bring It On!
We will show that these people (or non people) are noble, capable, admired, and revered, because they are so sexually attractive, not despite it.
Actual "Sexual harassment" is hard to prove, common to misinterpret, a tempest in a teacup, often practiced by women towards men or by otherwise hetereosexual people towards the same sex, and easy to combat using Saladin Style positive psychological warfare (that can be summarised by "Be excellent to each other.")
By the time Chuck Norris found out who John Galt is, Summer Glau already had sex with him.
Summer Glau Facts
Midrash: part of the reason why I found it funny is because the ancient Hebrew verb Yada` had both meanings, as well as a meaning of "to create/conceive something with pleasure" and possibly other meanings of the geek jargon verb "hack". Also see hacking and heroism.
All sexual behaviour is perfectly acceptable and respectful, including:
-
Selling sexual services for money - Prostitution.
-
Starring in hardcore pornographic films.
-
Being a “slut” or a “bimbo”: having casual sex with more than one sex partner.
-
Being polyamorous - having more than one stable sexual relationship at the time.
-
Having same-sex intercourse - homosexuality.
For either a man or a woman.
Whether someone will do all that or less is ultimately up to him or her, but it shouldn’t make you think less of them.
The necessary conditions for that are:
-
That they are done in consent.
-
That one is 100% honest about their intentions (don’t lie or play games or do “Pick up art” or whatever).
«A woman is a lady even if she is or was a porn actress or a prostitute . Treat her with respect, be honest to her - be a gentleman» — https://twitter.com/shlomif/status/478025441983213569
Likewise , with “A woman is a lady” → “A man is a gentleman”.
I know Jennifer probably feels very badly about her privacy being violated now due to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_2014_celebrity_photo_leaks . I would feel the same if someone published some of my private E-mails, even if they are not sexualised. Invading one’s privacy is always bad.
That put aside, here’s some forward looking advice:
1. Sulk a little without feeling bad about feeling bad (see http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Moaning_Lisa ). If you feel OK about feeling bad, you’ll already feel better.
2. Realise that any sexualised activity, including starring in a porn film (“XXXX…” to infinity) or selling sexual services for money (= prostitution), is neither wrong nor ever disrespectful . A woman or a man who do some of that are still a lady or a gentleman and should be respected, loved, and trusted (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Shlomif/Saladin_Style#Trust_and_Respect ) and are no less of a role model. If any one did all that (including my close family) I won’t think one iota less of them.
3. Tell the media that you think that #2 is right, and enjoy the publicity ( https://duckduckgo.com/?q=all%20publicity%20good%20publicity - All Publicity is Good Publicity ).
4. Be proud, stay cool and smashing and awesome, and realise that there are many people who will love you no matter what.
Finally, I invite Jennifer (or whoever wishes to come) to attend the upcoming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICon_festival in Tel Aviv in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot and if she wants, she can contact me (I have contact info on my home page) and I’ll buy her a drink or a meal. I know a very good pizza place close to the con’s location, and I want to see how much pizza she can eat there on my expense. ☺
♥♥♥♥ and XOXO.
<adsc> millerti: i don't think that there is a human tendency towards monogamy
<rindolf> pyon: well, words changed in meaning using social activism,
<adsc> quite the contrary, actually
<OnlyForF1> there is a human tendency towards screwing everything that moves
<rindolf> Well, I don't think couples own each other's love life or sex life.
<rindolf> They just share them..
<pyon> OnlyForF1: I would not call it a "human tendency".
<OnlyForF1> animal*
<pyon> OnlyForF1: We certainly have animal instincts. But, unlike other
animals, we can put ourselves above them.
<millerti> <http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14641-monogamy-gene-found-in-people.html#.U7vfsxY_1PY>
<OnlyForF1> We can, only because of societal pressure
<pyon> millerti: If there is a monogamy gene, it must be very weak in me.
<millerti> pyon: Like I say, you can do what you want. It doesn’t really
affect me.
However, I have an opinion based on reasoning, not some ancient dogma.
Monogamy reduces the spread of STDs.
<millerti> Another interesting article:
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK97287/>
<rindolf> OnlyForF1: I think both men and women appreciate intimacy.
<adsc> millerti: well, there are good modern tools to prevent the spreading of
STDs without monogamy
<rindolf> Because you need to spend some time with your S.O.
<millerti> I even more strongly suggest monogamy to gay men, because of the
greater ease with which they can share STDs.
<pyon> millerti: Far more important than being monogamous is carefully picking
who you fuck with.
<millerti> But in any case, condoms are a must.
<millerti> pyon: Well, you’re right about that.
<rindolf> njcomsec: BTW, Miranda Kerr is very hot/cute too and she's married
to Orlando Bloom and mothered his child,
<adsc> also, you can test for STDs before you "engage"
<OnlyForF1> They've separated rindolf
<millerti> Think of monogamy as a preventative measure. It affects the
statistics in a good way.
<rindolf> OnlyForF1: oh, that sucks.
<OnlyForF1> She did an interview and she talks about how much sex she has
<rindolf> OnlyForF1: hope they can get over it.
<pyon> rindolf: Why would anyone besides their family and friends even care?
<rindolf> OnlyForF1: many women would kill to be married to Orlando Bloom.
<rindolf> pyon: I just know them.
<OnlyForF1> Many more men would kill to sleep with Kerr.
<Rainb> I wouldn't kill for a celebrity, but hey, that's just me.
Retrospectively I (= rindolf) can say that Kerr’s behaviour is a bold attempt to dispel the belief that women who have sex with many men (often referred to as “sluts” or “bimbos”) are not being respectful, and I now support her separation after learning that Orland Bloom has been careless and got himself badly injured several times which is indicative of a careless character.
Willow: So, do you think I should get a dog?
Buffy: Oh, my friend, Rachel, that software developer chick who moved here, told me that ever since she bought a dog, she made so many friends and lots of guys showed interest in her, and she’s been telling me about her exploits with them endlessly.
Willow: So she has become a slut? So cool!
Faith: Hey! “Slut” is such a 90s term. The new name for that is “polyamorous”!
Buffy: Which just rolls off the tongue.
I went on a trip to England, especially for the Nine Worlds GeekFest con (but continued later on in the Peak District and in Cambridge) and want to share various anecdotes for it. Here’s the first one:
On the convention, I saw a young girl (about 10 or 11 y.o) cosplaying as Hermione from the Harry Potter films. Now, she had dirty blonde hair as opposed to Emma Watson’s original black brownish hair in the films, but was still quite similar to Hermione. She visited the con along with her parents, and brother, and I decided to give them these things:
1. A blue pallet/blue token for good cosplaying. There was a competition for it later.
2. A ten-sided die: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_trapezohedron - which I give to many people as a token of appreciation because for various reasons I find the 1d10 to be my amulet of power so-to-speak. (I buy such dice on stock).
3. My new business card ( http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/images/business-card-without-frame.png ) with my contact details.
4. I also told them about some of my Harry Potter / Emma Watson fan fiction, such as http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/bits/Emma-Watson-applying-for-a-software-dev-job/ or http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/Muppets-Show-TNI/Harry-Potter.html and they seemed interested to learn.
5. Her family and I befriended each other.
6. I saw that girl again, still wearing the costume, in the last day of the conference, away from her parents, and she asked me if I Was going to come next year, and I told her that I hope to go there (and I do).
Now for something a little less pleasant: when I told some people on Freenode IRC about it, someone kept insisting that I was a pervert, just because I’m 1977-born and 37 years old. I didn’t touch that girl, and even if I were sexually attracted to her, it’s all right to have such minor feelings as long as you don’t let them go out of hand. You are allowed to feel anything, including a desire for mayhem and murder - it’s just acting based on that emotion that may be questionable.
There is no reason why adults close to 40 (mid-life crisis, yeah baby!!!) and younger children cannot befriend each other, so please don’t accuse me of being a pervert, just because I am: 1. Young at heart. 2. Enjoy the company of good, geeky, people of all ages and all other parameters for their shapes and sizes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Fish_Two_Fish_Red_Fish_Blue_Fish .
A happy (un)?birthday to all!
(From Shlomi Fish’s FAQ.)
Well, I don’t know about you, but I feel that a man who is attracted to women displaying sexiness, strength, competence, etc. - however interpreted - has a healthy libido (or “sex drive”) rather than is a pervert, whose sexual preferences prevent him from functioning.
Furthermore, just because I write about stuff like that, does not mean I do not have enough self-control, or that I have sex with, sexually assault, or sexually harass everything that moves.
It is also obvious from my stories, that I do not wish any harm on the heroes (or often even the villains) of my stories: in general, they do not get killed, or raped, or even become pregnant without intending to. While they have some hardships, they end up performing some amazing achievements of competence, and all that while not having any supernatural powers.
Now regarding their age: yes, I’m aware that some of them are underage, and only in high school. But it may seem farfetched, but I think that underage girls and boys can still be competent, both in their tangible endeavours, but also in their sexual/romantic orientation. Back at the time, Macaulay Culkin, who was the “alpha male” of a large part of the 1990s (despite his youth), raised a few eyebrows, when marrying at the age of 18 shortly after high school graduation. However, I recently heard of a Jewish couple of a guy and a girl who are 15 now, and as scary as it sounds, it didn’t seem too horrid of a thought. Some people learn faster than others.
Just another note about Culkin: some people also criticised him for possessing Marijuana and for its use, but many young and not-so-young people I talked with have had a history of Marijuana use, or even Marijuana addiction, so I do not hold it against him. See my The Case for Drug Legalisation for why Marijuana, and all other illegal narcotics, should be made legal globally.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, I’ve got 99 verses, but they ain’t that good.
SGlau: So? How’s life?
Andrew: It sucks.
Daniel: Yes, it sucks.
SGlau: Ninety-nine problems, eh?
Daniel: And a bitch ain’t one? yes!
Andrew: Actually, I have a hundred problems.
SGlau: Ah, a significant other?
Andrew: Yes, and me being a soldier here makes her really bitchy.
SGlau: Nice, what is her name?
Andrew: Her name is Felicia, Ma’am.
SGlau: Nice name.
Andrew: Yes, nice name.
SGlau: I suppose serving here at the NSA is also one of your problems?
Daniel: Hey, this place is at least ninety of my problems.
Andrew: I wish it was less than that for me too. I was actually happier in Afghanistan.

SGlau: Yes, you are right. I’m here to kick some serious NSA ass (not in the physical sense, of course), and make sure you two have ten and nine problems respectively.

Daniel: Hey! How about one of us escorting you?
Andrew: Yeah, but who?
Daniel: Andrew, how about you this time?
Andrew: Heh — sure! If only to make my girlfriend jealous.
SGlau: And more bitchy!
rindolf: Yes, I’m single - I’ve got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one.
rindolf: And yes, I realise that the guy who said that (Jay-Z) now has a 100th problem (a bitch) and a 101st problem (a child).
(P.S.: and now he reportedly has even more problems: a reported affair with his wife’s sister, and a rumored divorce).
(P.P.S.: the couple appears to have remained together. Good for them.)
Shlomi Fish @shlomif 1st time I was offered to be in beauty and the geek in Israel I voiced this rebuttal: https://shlomif.livejournal.com/63847.html . I was wrong to criticise reality show contestants - https://shlomifish.org/humour.html#pbride_philosophers but nowadays almost all attractive girls are not only attracted to geeks but are quite geeky (= scientifically or technologically or craft/art wise) themselves. _
rindolf |
In my imagination, my concept at the time of Sarah Michelle Gellar , who was a relatively wild and polyamorous girl (but still an awesome one) decided to duplicate herself and then said "I am going to call my new self Valentine". So she gets duplicated and her duplicate then says "So I’m Valentine, right?" |
njcomsec |
does polyamorous mean a slut? |
rindolf |
njcomsec: well, not exactly. |
rindolf |
njcomsec: thing is - she was very picky about which guys she got involved with. But if she slept with you once, you don’t need to worry about it happening again. |
pyon |
Is it not possible to have a fixed, small but non-singleton set of romantic partners? |
rindolf |
pyon: what does that mean? |
njcomsec |
i wouldnt worry about it :) |
njcomsec |
in fact i would worry she might NOT want to again |
njcomsec |
pyon i believe that is called open relationship |
njcomsec |
i am open to this idea |
njcomsec |
but so far i cant even find one nice girl who will date me |
njcomsec |
so this is the first step |
o0elise0o |
i have this problem where if i sleep with someone i usually dont want to ever again |
njcomsec |
thats cute |
pyon |
rindolf: A singleton set is a set with exactly one element. A small, non-singleton set of romantic partners would be, for example, having two or three romantic partners, but not having sex with arbitrary people. |
rindolf |
Also , Miranda Kerr recently bragged about all the great sex she’s been getting with various willing men after being separated from her husband (= Orlando Bloom). I say - all the power to her. |
rindolf |
pyon: ah. |
rindolf |
pyon: well, she had a fixed (But often growin or getting reduced) set of those. |
pyon |
rindolf: Well… if it is often growing or shrinking, it is not fixed. |
gde33 |
o0elise0o: try costumes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJgYxWhDDWc |
rindolf |
pyon: ah. |
rindolf |
pyon: well, if her lovers had entered a relationship, she stopped sleeping with them. |
rindolf |
pyon: although not permanently. |
pyon |
rindolf: Ah! |
rindolf |
I imagined a short students' film about Valentine Gellar’s life. |
rindolf |
It starts with showing her riding a bus and then there are the immortal words "I used to be Sarah Michelle Gellar". |
rindolf |
And Valentine had a steady boyfriend and also studied for a Ph.D. Well, she’s a professor now. |
rindolf |
Anyway, at one point she visits her and Sarah’s mother, who admits that while she knows that Valentine is technically her daughter, she causes her so few troubles and is so great, that she has a hard time thinking of her as her daughter - she’s more like a younger friend. |
gde33 |
rindolf: you are spoiling the whole movie! |
rindolf |
gde33: heh, it’s not a real film. |
gde33 |
you underachiever! |
gde33 |
I say, make it so |
rindolf |
And then she visits a guy and sees that his room is in disarray and after she queries him for this he says "Ah, yes, Sarah was here last night. We had an awesome time." So Valentine says: "She couldn’t have been! She stayed up late at a benefit and went to bed past 1 AM exhausted." . So he thinks for a moment and says: "So it wasn’t her! No biggie." |
KAROLINA |
rindolf: are you fluffy? |
rindolf |
KAROLINA: no, I’m Fluttershy. |
KAROLINA |
rindolf: What is a fluffershy? |
rindolf |
And there’s also a part where the original SMG and Valentine recall some memories from their mutual past together. |
KAROLINA |
JamesNZ are you fluffy? |
rindolf |
KAROLINA: s/ffer/tter/ |
KAROLINA |
rindolf: i dont understand you |
JamesNZ |
KAROLINA: Nope. |
rindolf |
KAROLINA: Fluttershy is the sensitive pony in My Little Pony- http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Fluttershy |
KAROLINA |
rindolf: but i like Fluffle betteR!? |
rindolf |
KAROLINA: what is fluffle? |

johndoemer |
why bad? |
johndoemer |
didnt they guard the galazxy against evil for athousdan generations? |

The Legend of Robin Hood is generally set in the time of Richard I/Saladin, but the earliest british records predate that. |

krang: no, exactly this: do "script.pl"; |
rindolf |
krang: system is usually what you want. |
rindolf |
krang: normally require or use are preferable to do |
dazjorz |
rindolf: that’s for modules, isn’t it ? |
rindolf |
dazjorz: yes. |
dazjorz |
wait, I think require "script.pl" would work too |
rindolf |
dazjorz: and doing code is not such a good idea. |
dazjorz |
rindolf: hmm? |
krang |
rindolf: what is doing anyway? |
rindolf |
dazjorz: I mean "perldoc -f do"-ing code. |
rindolf |
krang: do()-ing |
rindolf |
krang: it reads the file and evaluates it. |
rindolf |
krang: perldoc -f do. |
dazjorz |
rindolf: ah |
dazjorz |
rindolf: do \{} |
* rindolf |
would rather be doing hot models than doing code. :-) |
dazjorz |
rindolf: yeah, do BLOCK is quite useless |
dazjorz |
heh |
rindolf |
dazjorz: you can do my $var = do \{ … } |
* dazjorz |
would rather be doing GumbyBRAIN than doing code |
GumbyBRAIN |
and doing code is not be in the days of immortality! |
rindolf |
dazjorz: or eval \{ … } |
rindolf |
dazjorz: heh. |
rindolf |
It’s hard to do code. |
dazjorz |
do $model; |
dazjorz |
eh.. sorry, do $hotmodel; |
rindolf |
"Are you into my brother?" |
rindolf |
"No I’m totally into Perl." |
krang |
ah ok, I see. Thanks guys! |
rindolf |
krang: yw. |
dazjorz |
heh :-) |

If you want a configuration file, you should be using something like INI, YAML, etc. |
rindolf |
XML perhaps. |
rindolf |
Something. |
rindolf |
Apache-like config. |
dazjorz |
Apache-like is very strong but hard to parse, right ? |
dazjorz |
Loading and saving configuration never looks good, especially when it’s XML |
dazjorz |
the code to load and save is ugly. |
A: I’m busy right now - I have to do TWAIN.
B: Do Shania Twain?
C: Oh, I’d love to do Shania Twain.
Josephus: Anyway, can you share some details about your trip? I never ventured a long way past Damascus.
Athena: Sure! It was very interesting. Most interesting.
Athena: We travelled with our own people and some Greek merchants, all the way to Athens, and there we hitchhiked a ride with some Assyrian merchants, hoping it will get us closer to Alexandria. There were some guards escorting us, and at one point they disarmed us and threatened us at sword’s point to have sex with them or else they’ll kill us and take all our possessions.
Josephus: Wow! Rape. So what did you do?
Athena: Well, we consulted between ourselves and after a long while of being really scared, we calmed down a little, and decided that if we are forced to have sex, we might as well cooperate and try to enjoy it. So we told them that we’ll do it willingly and they agreed.
Josephus: How clever of you! And then what happened.
Athena: Well, the three of us and her lover each found their own part of the woods, and we had sex. Then, after one or two times, the three men all lost stamina, while we were not completely satisfied and cried for more!
[ Josephus laughs. ]
Alexis: Yes! Then we heard each other’s cries and we gathered at one place together still naked with our clothes as cover, and we bitched about the whole situation - in Greek - and the men stood there ashamed.
Athena: Yes! Anyway, we continued as couples throughout the trip and the men got better in love making as time went by, and they also taught us a little Aramaic. Then we arrived at the junction - they wanted to go to Assyria, and we wanted to head more south, and then all the 6 of us were completely emotional and offered each other to escort them on the way, so we won’t part, but we eventually cared enough about the others to let them go on their own way.
Josephus: Wow! That sounds like love.
Athena: Love! Yes! That’s the word. Eros in action.
Athena: Anyway, then we hitched a ride with a band of Greek merchants. The boys there were easy and we all liked each other, so we had a lot of sex, and we learned even more Aramaic from them.
Josephus: Did you fall in love with them too?
Athena: This time we didn’t. So after them, we hitchhiked a ride with some Jewish and Phoenician merchants. Jews and Phoenicians proclaim to hate each others’ guts but they always band together. Anyway, we wanted to have sex with the Jewish men but they refused to do so unless we converted to Judaism and they married us. They kept citing Jehovah and their faith to him as the reason why.
Josephus: So did you give up on them?
Athena: Not on your life! We wanted them more! And more badly!
Athena: The wives of the Jewish men thought they were being unfair to us, and urged them to have sex with us. So they started a heated debate about what the Jewish tradition said about that.
Josephus: So these women studied that?
Athena: Probably not, but they faked it really well. But the men still didn’t want to have sex with us, because of Jehovah of course.
Josephus: Well, just for the record, as much as my variant of Judaism is unorthodox and avant-garde, and I derive influence from other ethnicities and cultures, I am still a proud Jew and not going to cast humiliation on my people by having pre-marital sex with you or with any other girl.
Selena: See! Told you! All Jews are the same. Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah.
Selena: Well, just for the record, we’re not going to have sex with you either.
Josephus: Oh.
Josephus’ Voice: I actually felt disappointed.
Athena: Do you feel disappointed from it?
Josephus: Me? No! It’s actually a relief. Well… a little.
Athena: OK, just know that it’s nothing personal: we decided against having sex completely, shortly after hearing your Qoheleth thing.
Josephus: Really? But didn’t I say Young man, be joyful in your youth there?
Athena: That you did, but something else there made us realise that sex is not worth the risk of getting pregnant. So we’re going to wait with it until we return home to our village.
Josephus: I see, I said so many things in the scroll that I couldn’t tell what was right and what was wrong. Good thing I admitted it was blasphemy and should not be taken seriously.

But she smokes. |

Dominique: I can summarise my relationship with Howard in one word: sex. As much as I want it, when I want it, in any way I want it, but just sex.
Catherine: [While putting her hand on the ground] I hate my life!
Dominique: [In a caring tone] Why, what’s the matter?
Catherine: I can summarise my relationship with Peter in three words: anything but sex.
Dominique: Oh! But, trust me, the anything is much better than the sex.
Elizabeth: My problem with Gail is entirely different.
Catherine: Really?
Elizabeth: We have enough but not too much, and, besides, he’s sweet, exciting, passionate … and he even lets me date other guys.
Dominique: So, what’s the problem?
Elizabeth: I don’t know… there just isn’t any tension. I’ll want to get married - we’ll get married. I’ll want to have a baby - we’ll have a baby. I’ll want to get a divorce - he’ll give me a million dollars and divorce me.
