Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

otoh it is also perplexing how somewhat compositionally building websites, with reasonably end-user tools, has continued to not really be a thing. every website being a mostly bespoke javascript monster.

that’s because idiot hellfuckers keep trying to pretend web pages are apps instead of just writing apps

it’s pretty terrible, here’s the last paragraph:

I don’t have any final answers either. But, gentle reader…if you’re a beta male and not a natural, learning some PUA game might sound icky but it would sure beat masturbating to porn for the rest of your life. And if you’re female, think hard about the last guy you slept with and the last guy you friend-zoned. Maybe you owe yourself a rethink and friend-zone guy an apology, of the kind best delivered naked.

esr typifies the smart nerd with zero self-awareness showered with early validation that has ironclad his inflated sense of self.

he is unable to entertain the possibility that whatever he thinks might be wrong, and if you’d ask him, he would say that he is just analyzing the facts and is in no way emotionally involved in most issues he preaches about.

his weird ramblings about sex and violence betray that he’s not very familiar with either, even though he probably honestly thinks he’s a Class A dangerous weapon on the streets and in the sheets.

I don’t think he’s a bad person, I just think he doesn’t have the slightest idea on how others perceive him and his ramblings and being an intelligent person he’s way too smart to understand what an idiot he is.

Now I'm going to sing the Perry Mason theme



  1. I will shoot any person engaging in arson or other life-threatening behavior, issuing a warning to cease first if safety permits.
  2. Blacks and other minorities are otherwise safe from my gun; they have a legitimate grievance in the matter of this murder, and what they’re doing to their own neighborhoods and lives will be punishment enough for the utter folly of their means of expression once the dust settles.
  3. White rioters, on the other hand, will be presumed to be Antifa Communists attempting to manipulate this tragedy for Communist political ends; them I consider “enemies-general of all mankind, to be dealt with as wolves are” and will shoot immediately, without mercy or warning.

for context: in the north, packs of wolves attack and kill reindeer that are the livelihood of reindeer farmers there, so they see them as pests and a nuisance costing reindeer farmers big six figgies.
