Sure but that was after punk rock was already a thing, and they already had creatives/geeks/mops. That the sociopath of the sex pistols is now a 'conservative is the new punk rock' still trying to shock his parents geriatric is a bit sad.

Good for them that they manage to run a subculture without geeks, mops or creatives and only sociopaths. Their parties do sound extremely dreadful however. Like they are trying to recreate something with the lasting power of punk using only one hit wonders.

E: Unrelated, the whole crystal reference to, what I assume is meant to be soul gems is also quite weird. (For people who don't know, this traps a beings soul, which is then consumed (or send to a special hell) to power things (which yeah, seems bad), but it doesn't work on humans (or your regional equivalent) you need corrupted black soul gems for that, which is done by necromancers, who are considered to be pretty evil. None of it seems to be done consensually (you do not pick to go into the gem, you get killed and then they trap your soul, with a soul trap spell), even if the series is rather blase about the use of them. I know sociopaths (who might be the people writing this article in this case) are not really the types to care about the lore specifics, but you know

The left made him call that guy a pedo in 2018, and tell his first wife he was the alpha in the relationship in 2000. Thanks Obama.

E: forgot about the 'im actually a socialist, but with a more capitalist character' tweet

The unexplored part of the Diamond Age, what if the A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer servers are shut down.

E: Btw, you yourself will need to imagine a rant here about this kind of tech comes for the vulnerable first, and then is often removed from them when they could be depending on it without much fanfare as well. See also the people with eye implants who are no longer supported by the people behind them.

I ended up on Know Your Meme because folks are throwing around "uwu" like we’re all terminally online and all understand Twitter lingo.

Can’t even publish the post early and edit it later for that extra bit of plausible deniability.

According to his goodreads he had not read it yet.

Good that you explain it, lot of people here are basically amateur TPOT/lesswrong watchers so we forget this isn't standard lingo. If you have ever seen us post about eigenrobot that is part of tpot iirc.

So the first time in a long time (ignoring Japan) a single pleb does something that actually is a bit of accellerationism, which is highly praised by all colors of the political spectrum (fuck the grays), and now it isn't real e/acc? I'm not sure who the fake e/acc people here are!

(I'm kidding here btw, I do think it is quite good that the people who talk people into cults are taking a stance that murdering people you dislike is bad, esp considering their crazy ideas re AI, minorities, animal rights, and Sneerclubbers).

The man probably went insane after psychedelic use

So parts of his manifesto (which was short) was published, and it was pain that radicalized him, ah well a superpredictor like Yud can't be right all the times. If only he had the image of a blade of grass that could have been a hint, sadly we did not.

Spoiler for the image link.The image is a scan of a persons back with various medical rods in the back, which was part of the (ALLEGED) shooters twitter image before it got deleted. The blade of grass thing is a reference to an infamous story of Yud about how AGI could figure out another universes physics just by looking at a video frame of a blade of grass bending in the wind.
