While the image is "Gottfrid Svartholm, one of the co-founders of The Pirate Bay in his work station", he sure looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
I can't really tell why but he also looks extremely Scandinavian to me
He looks like he is about to murder a rival band member and burn some churches
True Norwegian Black Raggae?
I'm gonna choose to take that as an insult to all Scandinavians
Why? That guy looks awesome!
I mean he’s right but I still feel attacked
I'm sorry
Zoinks!
Afaik it's not him but some rando.
That is most definitely Gottfrid.
Mind telling me why Gottfrid Svartholm, a Swede, would be reading a Polish physiology book?
The pic has been around forever, that's not proof by itself.
I have books in languages I don't or barely understand, some in topics I know fuck all about. Does that disbar me from being the nationality that I am?
Is this an American comment that I'm too European to understand?
Like... wtf, people can't own books in other languages now?
Who's to say he doesn't know Polish? Who's to say it's even his and not a family member's?
This is such an arbitrary and meaningless detail to pick up on in an attempt to disprove the legitimacy of a photograph of a guy who looks very likely to be Gottfrid, that it reeks of anti intellectualism.
You pulled plenty out of your ass there, so indeed I imagine it does reek around you now.
Where have you seen him reading it? Definitely not in that photo.
Oh, so the room that is carefully made to his image as you imagine it, somehow by pure chance includes a thousand-page A4 tome on physiology in Polish? Because Swedish hackers are known for their love for Polish university textbooks as decoration, of course.
How do you know it is his room?
You're doing an awful lot of speculation to get your point valid.
The title of the photo is:
So it follows that it's his room?
Your trolling is too fat. Try trolling more subtly.
There is no trolling, I honestly believe that is anakata due to the similarity, and others do to based on image search results.
You're basing your entire evidence on a single books language.
This is you. You probably have an advanced case of the mirror disease, as in you haven't seen your peen without a mirror in a decade. Again, more subtle trolling is required.
Wow, you must be great fun at parties, good luck.
Oh dear where did you get a picture of me? It's such a flattering one.
