I have a lot of time for nostalgia about older versions of the web, but it really ticks me off when people who actively participated in making the web worse start to indulge in nostalgia about the web. Doesn't Yarvin get a lot of money from Peter Thiel?

There were women and people of colour on the old web, and feminists and radical anti-racists too - they were just outnumbered and outgunned. One of the earliest projects listed on the cyberfeminism index are VNS Matrix, who were "corrupting the discourse" way back in 1991.

The Shakers at least contributed some good hymns (and some sturdy furniture) to posterity. if these guys ever get off the ground they'll produce nothing but empty cans of energy drink and racist AI memes

Fuck it, throw some more junk into orbit, why not

Serves indefinitely? Not even 8 or 16 year terms but indefinitely?? Surely the US supreme court is proof of why this is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea

This is the girl who went off the rails and started posting about neoreaction, right?

The Henry Ford of our generation.

All I can say is bring it on. These guys seem to assume women will be furious about being replaced in this hypothetical scenario. I imagine most women would be relieved to have more free time and greater opportunities. Losing your role is only scary if you have benefited from your social position.

If you were someone who believed in IQ like a religion, but had just made a stupid and costly mistake, I would hope you'd take a second to think. Maybe IQ isn't everything, and it's definitely not the only thing, that makes people successful or unsuccessful.

Instead he busts out a slur and jokes about having an IQ of 26

I don't know anything about evolution or genetics, and I'm pretty sure this guy doesn't either. Why would everyone become disabled because more disabled people survive and pass on their genes to their kids? We don't stone gingers to death and yet we are not all having red-headed kids.

The repeated use of the word "weak" (as opposed to "sick" or "disabled") seems revealing.

The actual Vatican seems to use its own .va domain name, which neatly sidesteps the .com vs .org dilemma.....but doesn't explain why they let randomers use catholic.com and catholic.org.

Whoever said that all twitter bluechecks talk like anime villains was spot on

the context for them purchasing an extremely expensive castle is they had a lot of money (no shit)

Ohhh the hypocrisy. Wasn't EA meant to tackle these kind of inefficiencies???
