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
Late response but cool song recommendation :)
I don't know how materials work in Asset Forge, but they have a guide on their site for exporting models to animate with Mixamo: https://kenney.nl/knowledge-base/asset-forge/rigging-a-character-using-mixamo. You could also animate things like moving platforms or doors in-engine with an AnimationPlayer.
Speaking of Asset Forge, Kenny Shape is a similar thing for quickly throwing assets together. It has a really fast 2D workflow for creating 3D models that reminds me of Doom mapping a little bit. For lo-fi levels, you might also like Crocotile 3D or the combo of TrenchBroom + Qodot. Crocotile is great for repurposing 2D pixel art tilesets from itch or OpenGameArt into 3D assets, and Trenchbroom/Qodot is a more fully featured level editor I've seen people work crazy fast in.
They deleted their account, but it was here: /u/confessionsftheburbs. I think if you moderate a subreddit you could look through the Pushshift database to see what they posted. Someone on SubredditDrama (where this first popped up) has an open offer to do that for anything fun that was deleted, but I don't remember their name.
I know I screenshotted all the crazy stuff but I have no idea which month they were from, sadly. I checked the past couple months and May. The Internet Archive has a post saved of her from May where she says her husband (boyfriend at the time; they needed Robert Mercer's approval to get married) earns $500k/year. She talks a lot about expensive gemstones and rings, how taxes are unfair, utterly unhinged antisemitic antivax conspiracy theories that equate to "we need to kill the Marxists before they exterminate White people", and of course dogs with censored giblets. I have no idea what her husband does, but he's a white supremacist with lots of Blue Lives Matter insignia that she met on Hinged.
Robert Mercer is apparently big on computer science in the family, and she was strongly encouraged to study it. She often tells people to consider a CS degree to earn more money and start businesses like her husband. She says that, but she mentioned a job that was so easy she barely had to do anything and I wonder if that was the $120k/year position at the rebranded Cambridge Analytica. It's a little annoying to tell people "just get into software engineering!" when your grandfather paid $40k for your house and gave you a cushioned job at the family business. Ugh
I only learned it was her because she said she just donated money to a Gofundme, and I was kind of curious whose name was on the donation.
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
A Minecraft server, a Discord channel, and maybe a Matrix server all bridged together would be really goofy and I'm all for it
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
I don't even want to watch that video because I know I'm going to get annoyed by it. Veritasium's video on self-driving cars was so awful, it was enough for me to just sort them into the Sketchy Pop-Sci YouTube Channels bucket for good. I've heard that their videos on electricity and that one physics bet were also pretty shaky.
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.
