slowness

[luka]

I keep trying to come to Londy but my bird and cat have needs but yes I was thinking, when does the tourist season pick up again? When are thre customers?

its not entirely consistent. this year summer was better than spring. the previous two years spring was miraculous and the money made was truly obscene.

 

[sus]

Edmund told me he's doing very nicely, spending his days in front of the fireplace smoking his pipe reflecting on literature, did he lie to me?

 

[luka]

last year sorry. 2024 summer was better than spring. 2023 and 2022 spring was truly outragous

 

[luka]

Edmund told me he's doing very nicely, spending his days in front of the fireplace smoking his pipe reflecting on literature, did he lie to me?

he said he can't stop drinking alone in the mornings to me. its putting a strain on his mental and physical health also on his relationship.

 

[sus]

I was considering May. April is more convenient because I'll be in Dublin already but that sounds cold, not fun at all

 

[sus]

Isn't he a sex maniac? Is she not having sex with him enough? Can they not have morning sex every morning?

 

[luka]

Dublin is never much fun. its a sullen, provincial town.

 

[sus]

You've got to replace habits thats what my da always said. Have to replace an old one with a new one

 

[sus]

I don't want to go either

 

[luka]

Isn't he a sex maniac? Is she not having sex with him enough? Can they not have morning sex every morning?

she is awake and working well before he awakes so it's not convenient. he is a sex maniac tho thats true.

 

[luka]

You've got to replace habits thats what my da always said. Have to replace an old one with a new one

thats very wise of your dad and that has been my experience too.

 

[sus]

It sounds terrible, but the parental units have an Ireland hard-on, my da cant stop talking about how he's quarter Irish and he's always putting on Irish music and doing very terrible Irish accents and talking about going to the pub to et a Guiness

 

[luka]

americans have to cling to these phantom roots

 

[luka]

otherwise the sense of vertigo would overwhelm them. america is the void.

 

[luka]

thats why it creates entirely new forms of human

you can see also a struggle over the pace of a converastion when two people are talking adverserially and deliberately slowing down a fast paced talker can be a method of control.

My most dark triad tendency

 

[luka]

Burroughs has a thing that goes something like success in a gun fight isn't about drawing as fast as possible its about drawing in your own time. I read a comment under a luka video saying imagine how successful this guy would be if he was actually athletic. But that doesn't necessarily follow. His success is probably linked to the way he plays at a different pace to the game around him. Being a pasty fat slob is an asset..

 

[line b]

Luka leverages other players athleticism against them. It's not just that he's slow but that he has a precise speedometer and can leverage more subtle shifts in pace than other more athletic players who will struggle to manage the incredible amounts of force they generate

 

[line b]

And he's very strong. Unmovable from his spot. Which is essential for the slowness method- you can never let the act down. If you show any wavering the hypnosis will end

kinda sounds like rope-a-dope
