We gotta start saying her name man. It's like working with a new person who you call orange as a joke since that's what they wore on their first day but you just keep it up because you're too shy to ask their name.

    I know her name is publicly available. I'm just saying if she's going to keep popping up we should probably stop calling her "Hawk Tuah girl".

    You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

    Many of the great geniuses fell to one or the other extreme of sexual activity. Might be related to neurodivergence but that’s me speculating

    Plays into the autism/ADHD as a superpower narrative instead of the "some people like sex some don't" narrative, pass.

    Some people like sex, others don’t. People with autism/adhd often find ourselves in positions where we’re comfortable violating social norms, whether that’s deciding that you’d actually rather spend all your time on electrical engineering and pigeons instead of having a family, or being a bum who can’t stick with a job long enough to have consistent housing but also lacks the impulse control to not pursue all the sex they want.

    It'd be nice to line up his quotes on the subject in chronological order, since it seems like the last one would be about how his infidelities were his biggest failings in life. People say a lot of stuff to rationalize their behaviour while they are still doing it. But with time and space, can put together that the problem wasn't that other people "chose" to feel hurt about it. They will always be hurt if it came by surprise and you didn't have consent first. Hell, even in proper polygamous relationships with as much consideration and communication as possible, it can be a challenge to not hurt anyone.

    Huh, one part of me feels bad for her cause of all the attention, but she seems like she wants to capitalize on it.

    It’s her choice but I feel like the jokes are a little more justified if she wants to stay in the spotlight.

    When have quants ever used good decision making as a basis for their trading? Saying you use AI brings in investors, that's good enough for quant funds.
