missed sneer opportunity from Scott: instead of “peter fan,” could have done “peter-phile”. Lurk moar, scott
the comments section is Scott’s call of duty, i.e where he goes to call people slurs and tells them to kts
Naruto
I don’t believe it

If Hillary were president HitchBot would still be alive
E: followup, from wikipedia:
Smith and Zeller recreated their invention as hitchBOT 2.0 in 2019. The robot was sent to Paris, France, where it was touring about and appearing in a play, Killing Robots, by Linda Blanchet. That tour was put on hold indefinitely due to COVID-19.
As a metaphor for liberal fantasy and optimism, hitchbot was doomed to die, one way or another.
Providing a cathartic release for some pissed-off Eagles fan is the closest it has ever come to usefulness.
They should have covered hitchbot in grease.
To summarise:
This is just a LWer's version of a shitty greentext ending with "why are women like this?"
E: sorry for necroposting, this came up somehow and I didn't check which sack it was under.
To understand this posture, you need to know Aaronson’s self-story. He has long written about being a bullied nerd, ignored by women, and obsessing over feminism in his youth.
My developing headcanon is that Scott missed out on a Birthright trip and this is a core aspect of his personality.
A lot of people in this world have connections going back 15 or 30 years but ended up on opposite sides
Ah, so we're living in the Earth: Shippuden universe. Got it. (jk)
Try not to steelman challenge: level EA (impossible)
Zionism, to define it in one sentence, is the proposition that, in the situation described, you have not merely a right but a moral obligation to keep digging—and that you can do so with your middle finger raised high to the hateful mob.
well duh if you break down an analogy it breaks down dawg.
I think dgerard has hit upon a microcosm with this post. I’ve half joked about it elsewhere but this project of collective fun and whimsy and its fate is a crystallization of the life of liberal optimism from early 2015 onward. Hillary was predicted to win, Marvel movies hadn’t majorly fallen out of favor yet, and most people weren’t hip to the tech industry being the sociopathic behemoth that it always has been. But then, as we know, all that rosy-cute whimsy was shot to shreds like a Cincinnati gorilla.
Look where we are today. Canada and Europe are also facing the rising tide of fascism. Western governments are still by and large facilitating a genocide through Israel. That the author, probably not some scholar of geopolitics, had the wisdom in 2015 that liberal optimism was a pile of garbage should be lauded.
