So it was a fire in a cybertruk not a cybertruk fire. This seems more dramatic suicide (probably due to untreated PTSD from repeat TBI). It sucks but doesn’t seem like it’s the same thing as NOLA.

I am absolutely convinced that Musk had to have been a goon at some point, probably in the early mid-2000s. And we all know exactly what type of goon:

An unremarkable white GBS noise poster who probably made oblique references to their wealth or the Bay Area’s tech scene. When no one really bit on this mysterious poster’s attempts at allure and intrigue, they then tried their hand at being a FYAD superstar and got really into “ironic” overuse of the n-word and other slurs before everyone finally got tired of him and chased him out. Maybe he complained to an admin, who then posted his PM and made fun of him, prompting him to post a weak :banme: that was viewed by less than 150 people before it ended up in the gas chamber.

That or he still lurks among us but only has 300 posts, and they’re all in a thread about ketamine in TCC.

If Elon Musk posted on the forums he probably got himself banned for asking for :filez: in 2004 or something.

stymie was such a pain that there was a no quoting stymie rule. If you quoted stymie, you got probated. Don’t quote stymie. Stymie was a tedious dickhead who hated computer touchers and claimed to be a blue collar laborer. The rule was in place because many people had stymie on their ignore list. He’s still one of the most ignored users.

Johnny290 called them out one day fingering them for being a VC of some sort. Stymie got very mad and compared everyone laughing at him to people slut shaming a rape victim which caught him a ban. He has not returned.

The cybertruk "bomber" does seem kind of extra special dumb, considering the background.

So a dude that, according to his background, absolutely knows how to mix farm supplies with tractor supplies to make a low-explosive famously known for being super-effective on a building in oklahoma...

Decides to do columbine-kid levels of propane and gasoline IEDs, in hopes the Truk batteries set off an unquenchable conflagration that burns the hotel down?

And then offs himself in said stupid polygonal coffin right before it goes Medium Boof instead of Big Boom?

And the media narrative is that the polygon of hubris was so well armored against internal explosion that the genius failed in his master plan?



Just doesn't add up. If that was intentional, there is a note or a manifesto somewhere easy to find.

If it wasn't intentional, I don't even know what questions to ask, other than "WTF?"

YOSPOS also has a "don't post anime" rule because of one particularly awful poster who couldn't stop a) posting anime while b) complaining about how poor she was and how everyone else in the forums should be guillotined for being computer touchers etc. and also c) refusing literally any help from even non-wealthy posters. She finally got banned enough times to not bother coming back. You still can't post anime in YOSPOS.

There are ongoing issues with other posters like that in a bunch of other forums and a lot of those posters who are even more historically unhinged. It's just a forums-wide thing where a few moderators seem to have pet psychopaths and none of the admins seem to care about it.

But that's not a current event so I'll shut up about it and just say that I truly appreciate GiP for being one of the sanest, friendliest places on this website.

Speaking from experience as an ex-mod who had to deal with a few deranged shitheads, it's partially the energy it takes to get them gone (because idiots re-reg and tilt at windmills and it's extremely tiresome to have to chase down alts and re-regs), partially the pushback you get from the community you're modding that calls you a weak simp who can't take criticism because they love their bro's antics, and partially you just don't have the loving time to deal with the insane level of output they put out.

It's not that they're being kept around. It's that even in SA, the "we will ban you for anything" forum, it takes more effort sometimes than it's worth.

- the effort of going through with a ban in the first place
- having your name associated with it in their rap sheet forever, possibly as "the reason (poster) is gone"
- any inherited animosity amongst whoever liked that person's posts for getting rid of their favorite poster
- having to go possibly go through all of this a second time if they pay :10bux: and decide to test the lines again

it can get exhausting. it's like when something in the fridge needs to go, and has for a while, but sometimes you try to ignore it and hope it starts smelling so you have an excuse to get rid of it.
