man there's so many new ones since the last time i looked quote:Andrew was behaving extremely erratically, with delusions and hallucinations about those around him. He accused one person of trying to reprogram him, made multiple racially charged comments towards others, would not leave people alone when asked, and often could not perceive their words when they were speaking to him because of his hallucinations about what they were saying to him. He also tore up the anti-harassment policy and was extremely difficult to remove from the space because of his inability to recognize what was being asked of him, and because of all the stuff he had accumulated around him physically. he built a fort out of random crap so they couldn't get to him, good job crazy guy quote:Jeff was asked to leave Noisebridge after many conversations. He kept bringing sketchy phones into Noisebridge, thought to be stolen. He was asked about a phone stolen in Noisebridge. He continued to change the OS's on computers after being told not to do so. In all of these occasions he behaved in ways that made people at Noisebridge very uncomfortable. Jeff is no longer welcome at Noisebridge. June-2017 jeff kept bringing in stolen phones, which we didn't really like, but the last straw was that he wouldn't stop installing gentoo everywhere more appropriate to this thread: quote:Karriem attends meetups claiming to be an angel investor, giving people the impression that he's of significance in tech and in particular in hacker spaces, including Noisebridge. He claims to be extremely knowledgeable about various things, but when he's engaged on them, he quickly departs the conversation. Additionally, he has been hostile toward members of the community trying to address issues with him. Still tries to come in occasionally as of July 2019 (usually when there is a crypto-currency related meetup happening). crypto meetups attract creepy scammers?? why i never

ships not in use are a floating liability that are doing their best to become underwater liabilities. the fact they now are underwater does not reduce your liability and in fact may increase it. any idiot who gets a ship without figuring out how to make it at least revenue neutral deserves everything they get, which is why i'm super excited to see what happens to this thing in six months

ok last one, this is old but i never saw it somehow and i love it:quote:Matt carries a backpack full of shower rings twisted with tangle therapy tangles. He has converted his brain into a computer and is using it to solve the tangles with an algorithm. He is quiet and not aggressive, but very fixated on his tangles and can't form a completed thought, continuing on until you interrupt him. i think matt might actually be a mentat, i wanna meet matt. he hasn't been seen since 2015 though so i assume he has ascended to the point where his body actually became bitcoin

oh good they have a website for it set up, written like they're already on the boat, also with all the text embedded in images just to be loving annoying https://ocean.builders/cruiseship/  yep that's where i want to headquarter my business, a place employees physically can't commute to full of greedy weirdos and no legal system  worried about catching "the flu"? well you have the option of wearing a mask, social distancing, or taking that bullshit trump drug to own the libs. problem solved.  we grow our own food on this boat we don't own yet, and we also plan to illegally commercially fish in panama's exclusive economic zone! also there's a juice bar!

I guess we might actually find out who cleans the toilets in galt's gulch "galt's gulch" will be the nickname for the literal river of human feces on one of the lower decks caused by them hiring the only plumber they could find who takes bitcon [and wasn't actually a plumber at all and definitely didn't know anything about large ships]
