The Emperor of Ice-Cream
Wallace Stevens, 1879 – 1955

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month’s newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

[quote=njtosd][quote=scaredyclassic]no. america is the almost decent looking chick who happened to fuck the alpha dude thinking maybe he would date her. she listened to his bullshit all night, all about himself. she thought he liked her but really, he was just looking for something to bone. he will ass rape her in the morning kind of consensually, but not really, he’ll just kind of grab it and go for it, and she will just sort of pretend it feels ok. he will come and then move on to fucking other bitches.

but it seemed like he really liked you.

now you have herpes, but on the bright side, its just in your ass.[/quote]

Spoken like a beta dude – sorry scaredy but this is beneath you. I get that you’re trying to expand on Harvey’s charming analogy – but it’s offensive. I know that most women have stopped posting on this site (none of you ever seem to wonder why) but there are a few of us left.

Also, it sounds sadly like the self soothing inner musings of the little guy at the bar who has a hard time with women and, until she left with the alpha male, thought the “almost decent looking chick” was the most gorgeous creature he ever saw. And the little guy doesn’t really know what she sees in the A male nor can he know what will happen between the two of them, but the B male sure would like it if she was subjected to horrible things so that she bitterly regrets not leaving with him.[/quote]

i am a beta dude.

apologies, sincerely.

some guys are winners, some guys are losers. america wanted a winner. a domineering alpha male.

According to a source at New York Magazine, Trump told a friend that you have to “treat [women] like shit,” seemingly to get what you want out of them.

i strongly believe donald said that, based on the pussy comment. hell, i think — no, i KNOW — lots of guys say and act on that. the intended purpose of doing that is to show you dont need potential female mates, they need you. all people tend to desire things they cannot have, so it is generally a bad mating strategy for either males or females to appear too easily attainable.

its also an effective defense mechanism against rejection, that allows more fragile men to push ahead in the mating game.

that was the source of where my off color analogy came from.

i think modern america believes that you do need to treat others like shit to establish dominance..

there certainly is some truth that we are all sexually attracted to strength, or the poortunity to impose strength on eeakness, and repulsed by sheer weakness, and any sign of weakness or neediness (esp. in initial meetings] is beta and repulsive.

treating people harshly can be a sign of strength, as was displayed beautifully in the debates:

you nasty woman

WRONG

WRONG!!!

when they go low, they win, esp.if you go high [beta and weak]. polite. attacked, and not responding with overwhelming force. america read that as weak.

neediness is the core of my own personal betahood. and an extreme level of deference, respect and politeness that is generally centered around my neediness and status anxiety.

no insult intended. and youre right. the woman left with the other guy at the bar for a whole host of reasons. he was better looking, stronger, displayed more attractive sexual characteristics, was more relaxed, less needy, funnier, projected more available resources. made her feel good, safe and excited.

he may not treat her worse, that is true. but it is also true that he has way more options, say, than me, the neurotic, weaker, unsure, servile dude, as he should, by his very nature. where the beta dude will not.

it is not unjust. the woman is not stupid. neither is anyone stupid. it is all just nature.the strongest and healthiest survive.

there are apparently though new rules and boundaries of how that essential truth may be permissibly expressed in presidential debates.

still, we should have standards and limits on piggington. and i believe i violated them.

again apologies. [see, even my apology has a groveling beta tone. ;)]

i truly feel bad that i made a woman uncomfortable. beta.

the case against democracy.

“roughly a third of American voters think that the Marxist slogan “From each according to his ability to each according to his need” appears in the Constitution. About as many are incapable of naming even one of the three branches of the United States government. Fewer than a quarter know who their senators are, and only half are aware that their state has two of them.

Democracy is other people, and the ignorance of the many has long galled the few, especially the few who consider themselves intellectuals. Plato, one of the earliest to see democracy as a problem, saw its typical citizen as shiftless and flighty:

Sometimes he drinks heavily while listening to the flute; at other times, he drinks only water and is on a diet; sometimes he goes in for physical training; at other times, he’s idle and neglects everything; and sometimes he even occupies himself with what he takes to be philosophy….”

we dont want equal voting power. we need to distribute more votes to smarter people, some argue.

i wish jill couldve done a little better. id have thpught theres more thsn 1 percent who are just envi r onment voters.

[scaredyclassic]

deficit schmeficit, what the point of power if u cant spend?

[scaredyclassic]

i think it will be all comedy to him. so no, I don’t think he will really care. he goes on howard stern, fer chrissakes. how seriously can he really take himself.

[scaredyclassic]

i saw garrison keillor twice in SD. Being an elitist liberal myself, i love him. My dad loved him. I’ve read most of his books. he makes me laugh and cry. I agree with his article.

[scaredyclassic]

my bet: continued outrageous rhetoric, doing the opposite of what he says, denying he is doing anything inconsistent with his outrageous rhetoric, even if it is palpably obvious, and blaming others for not doing whatever it was he said he’d do.

which would actually be great.

[scaredyclassic]

[quote=flu]AN and I had a talk and I sort of agree with him. I’m willing to give Trump a chance.
Maybe he won’t actually do most of the things he says he’s going to do.
We got what we got, and let’s see where we take it.

Peace.[/quote]

im fine with trump. really, you cannot blame the dude for trying to win. i just worry about the nation’s unhappiness. the system is obviously not working for people, bbecause they jettisoned business as usual. maybe this is the start of something good. a new beginning. But i doubt it. i think wealth inequities will only ramp up moving forward, and rage and anger will continue to be growth industries.

in general, disappointment will reign king… america will never be great again, but if we could massively lower our expectations, we could not want to go on shooting rampages or invade other countries and maybe be content.

[scaredyclassic]

still, in the uncertainty that follows over the next few months, it wouldnt take a huge percentage flow of money to gold to make the price really soar. nothing’s a sure thing…but it seems more likely than not gold’s not going to crater in next few months.

[scaredyclassic]

[quote=svelte]And doubly confounding that the markets are OK today. So far. This is exactly why I could never be a day trader. Extremely hard to figure out what the markets will do next.[/quote]

pretty much the opposite of whatever it seems it must do.

[scaredyclassic]

i kind of remember “America Power” rallies right after 9/11. I could be remembering wrong. people just want to believe everything’s gonna be ok. or rather, traders trading on the idea that everyone thinks everything’s gonna be more or less the same. but i think this is actually a historic event, maybe bigger than 9/11. the end of politics as we knew it.
