Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

my local community radio station is getting in on the act with a quality sneer in their annual magazine:
big cyber noggin? @Soyweiser@awful.systems
Walks into the room, hits the top of the doorframe, making sounds like a gallon of water being sloshed around
You called?
Before anybody asks, pump didn't work out. Doing saline injections now, read on SSC it would work.
hmm this got me scrolling through his TL. I didn't know or forgot that shen is actually a really good poster, shame I didn't follow him while I was on twitter
Shen always seemed like a pretty decent person who posts pretty well. The whole situation where people attacked him for accepting the theft of his bike was pretty strange. (The comic just went 'well, guess they need it more than I do, whatever' which seems like a healthy way to get over your bike getting stolen. And people lost their minds, how dare Shen not be angry!).
And seems somebody made a docu about that note the person reacting to this still mad about Shens acceptance.
when I first saw the bike comic I remember it struck me as exactly what someone would write in the midst of a pathetic attempt at positive thinking. but if it represents how he genuinely felt, for me it goes from cringe and not that interesting to just not interesting
that comic is especially enraging to right wingers. with them is where I've seen the sustained loathing for it. the idea that despised lowlies are stealing your shit and you must strike back/first is fundamental to right wing ideology, especially the right wing conception of masculinity. you're supposed to hate the people lower than you in the hierarchy largely because their existence is theft. a guy not being mad about actual real theft by some city rando spits on a premise their whole ideology rests on
it kind of reminds me of the "I really like girls" video which I'm too lazy to pull up. it's just a streamer doing a cute little rap about how he really likes women, and someone put a mildly cringe animation over it. very online right wingers hate hate hate that video, because you're not supposed to actually like women: they're lower than men in the hierarchy. or such would be the subtext when they ranted about it
I mean, what the hell else are you going to do if your bike was stolen? Instead of doing nothing about it you can go to the police so they can do nothing about it.
My answer to bike theft is to scrap all the cop cars and make the police ride bikes. After the 500th police bike theft you bet they'd find a solution
Obviously you should self-radicalize to demand summary execution of bike thieves.
That would still require cops to find them first, which is never going to happen.
Like the only way it could would be if we abolished police entirely and then created a special Bike Thief Police that handled nothing else than bike stealing. And they only get paid per recovered bike.
sounds like an AI use case
gimme funding
3CR! You should pitch a Sneer Club show to them.
didn't think anyone would catch this! I might have to at this rate, there'd be no shortage of material...
I had just been looking at their website or I wouldn't have caught it, lol.
I think Yeah Nah Pasaran have done some coverage of technofascism and TESCREAL.
You should definitely pitch a show. You could have an evil AI as a co-presenter.
