I was banned a few times for saying something like that if some politician of some country consciously does a thing which costs Armenian lives, or, say, “recognizes territorial integrity of Azerbaijan”, they are fair game for Armenians. That technically they make a choice they have right to make, or that their country has some interests, etc are reasons, but not excuses.

I mean, people are responsible for the actions they take. It’s not extremism.

I’ve had people clueless about tech tell me that:

using Linux and not buying Windows I rob MS’s developers,

not doing things the way big corporations want I deprive them of profits and thus rob their workers,

using your own device the way you want it is a crime if you have to bypass what the vendor does,

GPL and BSD licenses are not real sovereign citizen stuff, and if I’m not paying someone for software, I’m robbing the working class,

repairing things yourself in your house is robbing people working in those trades,

reading things in the Web is robbing university professors and book store workers and publishers,

having to learn a particular technology while doing my task at work means I’m a fraud and rob my employer or our clients, because apparently I have to keep all the today’s tech in my head before needing any of it,

if I don’t know some single thing another person knows, they are obviously better qualified than me (say, that other person can write Windows device drivers, while the job is about systems integration),

…

and I don’t remember more stupid shit from those people and I don’t want to, but generally being not a dumb ape in today’s world is considered suspicious apparently.

After that wonderful experience I might be silent about my views with people usually, but really I’ll never stop being anarchist (whatever kind of anarchism that is).

Does “the free world” include Kemalist Turkey, Pinochet’s Chile, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Israel?

I’m really not that keen on the subject who’s worse, but calling something “the free world” gets me every time.

EDIT: Obviously didn’t mention every European colonial power, like UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, of which some have done pretty Nazi shit long after 1945.

If you’ve ever refused a girl or remained silent where she waited to hear something in this direction from you, it’s voluntary.

Unless you mean medical problems, which still don’t prevent some sort of interaction which is arguably not celibate. It’s not all about dcks and cnts.

im sorry for being this rude, but Fuck of with that bullshit excuse.

No you’re not, and no I won’t.

I have Asbergers aswell, and have been arround a lot of other Autists.

Well, I hadn’t, except for my sister, so, especially back then, I was desperately trying to have social things other have by effort.

Going into offensive in that could look similar to what Musk posted.

and at worst it could be considered a thinly veiled rape theat.

At worst. I first took it as a very awkward attempt to seem magnanimous\friendly, plus Musk’s weird ideas about healthy relationships.

Anyway, can he fulfill that threat were it a threat? No? Then it’d be similar to what 4chan inhabitants write. Inappropriate is not the same as evil. Though I guess he and the Internet would both benefit from cutting ties.

As somebody with Aspergers i feel downright insulted that you attempted to blame this on ‘the sperg’.

Well, sorry, but since I wasn’t aiming for you, irrelevant.

hes in his 50s for gods sake.

The say older people are more like kids, ha-ha-ha

You are way too fucking serious and judgemental.

There are both much safer (than Chernobyl or Fukushima or whatever) reactor models and fast-neutron reactors that can reduce the amount of spent fuel to be stored.

About reasonable and cost-effective alternatives - with bigger storage expenses and grid losses.

IMHO a good grid has at the same time a few nuclear stations (no, not those which will be inevitably shut down, but those which are being prolonged or replaced as the time passes), a huge amount of renewable sources, storage to alleviate spikes\falls of said renewable sources and backup coal stations.

And German grid is connected to a few others, so that they themselves have gotten rid of nuclear energy doesn’t matter much, with unified grids.

And we are shutting down — not building — … nuclear plants.

Morons. Managed to almost descend to his level. No, that’s not sportsmanship.

Google says he has Asperger’s, which would make this, eh, kinda normal.

When I was 16, I wouldn’t be able to have a mutually consensual romantic conversation without saying something that cringed even myself out remembering it the next day.

Nothing worth feeling bad for will collapse.

People are not willing to get ads into every orifice, just nobody’s asking them. Ad blockers are reactive.

Bigger businesses will feel more pain, I can promise you that. Smaller businesses do not benefit from this ecosystem, quite the opposite - it heats up those who pay more for advertising, or those who are partners with those doing advertising.

As of payments again - when you are getting ads into your face with a message that you can pay to use something without them, you naturally feel against it.

I haven’t yet read the article, but it may well be a comparison for which Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris can be united under the Unix umbrella as systems with monolithic kernels and similar conventions. Of course FreeBSD is much cooler than Linux and Solaris is much cooler than FreeBSD, but we get what we get.

Also ndisgen under FreeBSD. MS could have been nice for a difference and not broken compatibility.

Hates - no. But giving off the impression of being weird is not that hard. I’m certain quite a few people would believe something like this about me purely due to being a sunlight-avoiding wimp bad with words (in verbal conversations).

So due process is a good thing. For each Andrew Tate there are a few dozens at least of people whom “the society” would eagerly accuse simply because of being asocial and weird. Like that folk psychology with red flags, manipulations and other shit. People practicing it can wound an autist. But I seriously doubt those would help them avoid a serial maniac.

Are any of his clients now in jail?

Just have to try

EDIT: Who downvoted a perfectly valid movie quote?

Ban any advertising unasked for, even better.

Things were better because people would “go to a different brand” and sue morons more often. They’d also be more confident of their own knowledge in various technical things.

Things becoming more complex was used to gaslight a lot of people into questioning their own knowledge about what they need. Such gaslighting first and foremost works via people being ashamed to be stupid and pretending they know it all.

Most (even technical) people are like this - they feel that they don’t understand the world around them, it’s stressing, spying, rigged, chaotic in the wrong places and ordered in the wrong places, - but they are ashamed and pretend. And what they pretend to think specifically and what they try to follow is communicated to them via ads, via movies, via corporate bullshit. Because they have nothing else to turn to.

It’s a bit similar to the way some autistic people do imitation - they too imitate ads and movies more than people around them (well, maybe also imitate people they are romantically attracted to, or those they consider cool).

Or to the way state propaganda works in atomized societies - people don’t have good horizontal ties, but pretend to have them, while taking the material from what they hear on TV.

20 years ago would you use something like an Android phone with no buttons or would you crush it with a hammer? Would you use something like Windows 10 or would you ignore that crap? Would you buy a car that spies after you?

1. You’d open one only when you wanted it.

2. A database with various characteristics being the main component and the advertising text not being that is better, yes.

and any random combination of cities/countries are part of the United States

You do have a few Saint-Petersburgs, right? And Athens? And Cairos?

that think our language is American,

Similar to Russia then.

Mexicans speak Mexican,

Similar to Russia then.

all Asian people are Chinese,

Still similar to Russia.

As somebody far enough from any America, I got a few healthy recreational grunting laughs from this.

I almost have tears in my eyes.

Also a bit reminiscent of Johnny de Vito in “Romancing the stone”
