Well humans are a liquid, we get into everything.
Didn't they at least try to block parliament with buses or something? (A thing easily circumvented with the parliamentarians going 'whereever enough of us gather is parliament, the building has no magical qualities'
Wonder if he did the rightwing thing and just went 'the silent majority agrees with my statements'(*) and just assumed the militaries would be all part of the incel crew and fall in line behind him.
*: On that note there was some cringe thanksgiving video of one of those weird Trump aligned culture war freaks (the daily wire perhaps?) where the freak strides into the thanksgiving event and starts slapping everybody around as some sort of victorious conquerer (at least that is what I imagined was the intended feeling. Not the deranged crazy weirdo vibe it gave off). And this video had a scene which baffled some people, there was a normal guy who was given a big cigar or something and some people were confused why that was a thing. I think that was the imagined '"normal" silent majority guys all secretly agree with me but they are ashamed to act' thing.
I was curious so looked her up. I discovered that there is no rule of law in Chicago and you can just murder people in the streets. And unrelated she did a colab with Gad Saad about her failing dating in the USA or something. Didn't watch the vid, just saw she had a few vids with Saad. (Vids from a year ago which almost nobody watched 35k/15k views. Sad!). On her twitter she has said nothing about SK, but apparently is upset about cancel culture and DEI. The grift is strong with this one.
It certainly shouldn't, but i was talking about the men who misinterpret the book a bit into some sort of love story, and not a creepy unreliable narrator who is trying to convince you he is really the victim here.
E: And don't get me wrong, I don't think 'young person discovers their sexuality and comes to grips with it' is something that should be banned from books or something, it is just annoying to me that so many books have the ~14 year old girls, written by a man, girl gets heavily sexualized by older men (or worse goes for much older man, bonus points if the guy is actually a writer (this is uncommon of course as that is quite specific)), pattern. It feels a bit like creepy wish fulfillment. At my book club we had a period where we noticed that every book we read for a while had the sexualized ~14 year old problem.
Dont think that anybody involved in this is going to be a good person. Of all the people mentioned, Pinker is prob the least worse here. And that is saying much.
Not to be fair to yud, but so much fiction (written by men) sexualizes ~14 year old girls and it gets really weird when you start to notice it. This includes beloved science fiction like Snow Crash for example. Im starting to get why so many of us misinterpreted Lolita, and why a lot of women/girls are a bit annoyed with the sexism at times.
meme archaeology
Finally a job im qualified for.
I would love a separate thread on this, more generally a “late 2000s/early 2010s skeptic ytbuers, where are they now”?
Personally I'm not going to waste much time on it, every time I see somebody post/make a vid about one of the older people it gets really sad and weird. Shadiversity (while not a skeptic) turned into a big weird (or well, went mask off), stuff like that.
E: I'm also not sure if YT is even still big, income wise, for people or if people go more to twitch for livestreaming shit and then double dipping by uploading edited streams to yt.
Careful not to post things that could get you into trouble with a judge without a sense of humor, or just cops/secret service. Wouldn't be the first time I hear of a home visit because the cops got confused at a joke.
Esp if it turns out the conspiracy theory about the murder being crypto related and they confuse this place for being a pro cryptocurrency place.
E: on topic just not LLMs and artists but also the idea that Musk got Trump elected will cause a backlash. (Which I find dubious, more despite the man, they made the election be about a gay onlyfans support squirrel ffs)
