I've seen people defend these weird things as being 'coping mechanisms.' What kind of coping mechanism tells you to commit suicide (in like, at least two different cases I can think of off the top of my head) and tries to groom you.

Hi, guys. My name is Roy. And for the most evil invention in the world contest, I invented a child molesting robot. It is a robot designed to molest children.

You see, it's powered by solar rechargeable fuel cells and it costs pennies to manufacture. It can theoretically molest twice as many children as a human molester in, quite frankly, half the time.

At least The Rock's child molesting robot didn't require dedicated nuclear power plants

Oh wow, Dorsey is the exact reason I didn't want to join it. Now that he jumped ship maybe I'll make an account finally

Honestly, what could he even be doing at Twitter in its current state? Besides I guess getting that bag before it goes up or down in flames

e: oh god it's a lot worse than just crypto people and Dorsey. Back to procrastinating

I think a dark theme with red accents would make sense.

Oh HELL no that's the same editor theme I'm using. How do I cast a spell to banish these people

It was some Adobe-style theme I downloaded a long time ago but I guess I'm using the anti-woke theme now

It's been 3 days, my hope that this is real is fading :(

Musk will always own that hilariously disturbing baby roleplay Twitter alt though

Here, though, was someone who had a name and an active social media presence, whose LinkedIn resume was expansive, whose listed address is a multimillion-dollar home near Golden Gate Park. On Facebook he carped about San Francisco politics and pride-posted about his daughter.

There's just enough information here that it'd be fun to try and guess who it is

I can never resist tracking down crazy people because sometimes it's just a goldmine of weirdness. I saw someone on Reddit who was censoring her dog's genitals, and when people made fun of her she accused them all of being pedophiles. It turns out she's Robert Mercer's granddaughter and probably works at Cambridge Analytica's successor, which is apparently either the easiest $120k paycheck ever or a $160k living hell full of long hours and crunch (unclear which).

Something like masstagger for Lemmy would be great. I can only hope

God I cannot believe that Harry Potter fanfiction is such a big part of Rationalism.

I made the mistake of reading too many comments down in a Reddit thread and a ~~ephebophile~~pedophile showed up. I looked at their profile and was just totally blindsided by Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality fanfiction and it apparently being their second favorite book ever. I think their first was Lolita but I don't remember.

I've heard that (maybe?) SBF had Harry Potter orgies, detailed on his girlfriend's cryptofascist tradwife Tumblr blog. I know I shouldn't but I kind of want to see if I can dig around the Internet Archive and find out how much of that really happened. Just making myself suffer for fun

Oh wow it's been awhile since I last saw that article, that's a fun find. I have a weird soft spot for Inform 6+

Reminds me a little of the "XYZZYing the Technical Interview" series of blog posts (reversing, hexing, typing, rewriting, and unifying)

The descriptions are already perfect

Not going to namedrop as I have no idea how involved and connected he is to all this

I totally will 😎

Robert Miles was my first heartbreaker. He seems like a great educator; I just like listening to him explaining things and talking about computer science. But damn it came as a shock to see he's the narrator of a Rationalism for Kids cartoon series and is neck-deep in EA.
