Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Violated policy by talking negatively Hahahahaha Firing someone for that should 100% be illegal.

There’s only one way in the US, where most employment is at-will, to have a contract that prevents getting fired for a completely boneheaded reason.

/me bursts into chorus of L’Internationale and is dragged to the gate by admins, off-key singing the entire track listing of Chumbawamba’s “English Rebel Songs 1381–1914” dopplering off into the distance as I go.
