Oh yeah to be clear: I also find this kind of reporting to be disingenuous and disgusting.

NBC/the media really killing it with painting him as a self-radicalised spook.

One too many poop pills

It’s my pleasure!

Bonus content: the OP that got purged had crossposted this to a couple places, let’s start some beef on the fediverse?

These link to the same thread, thanks to the magic of lemmy: lemmy.world link, awful.systems link

I actually have a shrimp torture farm. It brings me infinite joy. However its running costs are quite high and I require donations to keep it going

Thinker? Debatable. Computer scientist? LOL

Ah, finally, a paper article to pin to my Roko’s basilisk/David Gerard/X Æ A-Xii red yarn corkboard

NB: I will not perform sleuthing, i.e. reading up on this guy or anything he wrote. I don’t think it’s worth it

Is it crazy that I don’t think that the guy is the shooter? I don’t see the EA crowd, famous for bootlicking, being up to the task of CEO assassination.

Normal person: you should not be attracted to the mind or body of anyone under the age of consent, nor should you invent thought experiments to find loopholes.

Yud: i live to groom

Article was short. I was pretty close!

Haven’t read the article yet but I can only assume the book is “Lolita X” where they find the cryonically frozen body of humbert humbert and they bring him to space

Happend quite a few times with the “skeptic” yt people in the yt’er to alt right funnel/pipeline from a decade ago. (A few of these people have really lost the plot now

I would love a separate thread on this, more generally a “late 2000s/early 2010s skeptic ytbuers, where are they now”?. The only example (sorta*) I have is thunderf00t, whose yt career track is: anti-christianity, anti-anita sarkeesian, and now anti musk.

*he is not alt right, at least by any mainstream definition of alt-right, afaict.

Such a good post. LWers are either incapable of critical thought or self scrutiny, or are unwilling and think verbal diarrhea is a better choice.

Guy fused a phylactery and a prophylactic, making a prophylactery.

(apologies for the necro-post?)

yeah filing this under my “ok so you know you can just have kinks, right? like you don’t need to intellectually justify your kink. Have you seen a therapist?” folder

I’m sure ol’ Petey Tooter has done the calculus to justify why it’s worth pouring out a gallon of water every time someone wants to use a worse ctrl+f on his collected works.

Oh for sure. It’s probably why I feel so unmoored in today’s culture (jk)

ok so couple stub sneers I thought of when reading this:

1. One way to look at EA is as an extension of the middle-manager’s syndrome of injecting metrics everywhere to allow them to spin up narratives of growth and improvement to justify their existence. I can’t decide who I hate more!
2. following on from 1, it’s kind of funny that the EAs, who you could pattern match to a “high school nerd” stereotype, are intellectually beaten out by an analog of the “jock” stereotype of sports fans: fantasy league participants who understand the concept of “intangibles” that EAs apparently cannot grasp.
3. it absolutely tracks that EAs, who see charities that spend money on administrating themselves as inefficient and incompetent, are dumbfounded and bereft of answers when any of their organisations implode
