Shitizens on /r/dereksmart are claiming that the motorized door probably only cost $300 and one of them estimated i's price using $100 to $200 for the cost of a used garage door opener.

You couldn't put a regular door in for $300, let alone that monstrosity. That door cost $10,000 MINIMUM. It has a card reader. It's got two pockets built into an existing wall. There's custom metalwork and paint on the doors themselves.

But no, they're right. I'm sure someone found those doors dumpster diving and found some spare parts on Craigslist and put it all together themselves on their time off for $300. Jesus Christ.

You save a lot of money on electronics when the door itself is operated by a malnorished news anchor bricked into the wall.

Returning I note it's already been tweeted at Kerri, so I guess she and her folks can do their own research, and also at Feminist Frequency too, apparently.

I've never liked FF that much. I find it to be disingenuous a lot of the time, wasting a lot of energy on things that don't really need it and even doing some harm to people along the way, that really didn't have it coming.

But if *ever* there was a legit target for them to go after, there is no doubt now that it is CIG for keeping :lesnick: in a community-facing role and having him as such since their very inception and dismissing any and all concerns or criticism of how he did things, based on this latest find.

Derek is going to be reaching out to Anita S and making even stranger bedfellows than us by the time he reaches this page...

4) Ben's creepy website isn't that bad - dude's married now, so I don't think it reflects who he is now.
Married doesn't really mean much to anyone's behaviours especially someone who hasn't really broken out of their comfort zone and lives a life that aims to keep things that way.
He might be more restrained today given he knows he has a public front to maintain and Insta/Twitter etc are more public than an IRC channel but yeah that site is one hell of an albatross to have.

There are a multitude of solutions to that problem, all of them involving Ben and none of them being something anybody here's comfortable with thinking about.

Well he is half blind with poor vision in his remaining eye to the point of having to learn Braille but from the sounds of it he's either fudged that to legally blind because he nearly was at one point or is mocking some error in the paperwork, but hey free cash to splash out on Wing Commander ebay auctions!

No context is given. He might have been making light of his lovely eye, he might have been giving frank confessions with a jukebox turned way up so federal wiretaps can't pick anything up...

All we can really do is look at all the other quotes and try and fill in the context ourselves... which doesn't really help his case, now, does it?

I would give him the benefit of the doubt on that particular one - that is most probably a throwaway joke and can't be proved either way. I also feel very uncomfortable questioning someone's disability status without solid evidence.

That said, he has provided plenty of other material that he literally can't wriggle out of though (the dozens of examples of racism, paedophilia, stalking, sexism, etc): this is the noose (that he made himself) to hang him with.

EDIT: Glad to see Derek is running with this on Twitter. Hopefully Feminist Frequency or other campaigners will pick up on this to ramp up the pressure on CIG

Can we please stop making fun of Ben? He had one eyeball and an unshaved pube-stache in high school and was obviously picked on terribly until he understandibly became broken and twisted. Can we show at least a bit of empathy and understanding to this heaping hog of human flesh? Thank you.

The man is born 1980/81:ish.
Based on the progression of topics, seems safe to assume that the quotes are numbered roughly in chronological order.
Post in the 16,000-range and above reference things that happened in or after 1999.
Posts in the 3,000-13,000 range chronicle his quest to go to college; post numbers above that discuss him being in college.
Triangulate the rough timeframe based on the post number of the stuff he says from there.


So no. No, we can't. gently caress him.

Little known fact that after a certain weight (typically above 'morbid' obesity) a male will have a permanently erect penis. It has to do with the extra work the heart has to do and the overall increase in blood pressure. The deep fascia openings are too weak to prevent blood from entering the erectile tissue and the Buck's fascia becomes rigid and inelastic and prevents blood from flowing out.

So, its a feature and not a bug?
