commenter on Shtetl-Optimized talks about the rapey “nice guys” she suffered at college

Not just that, but one of very few feminist commenters in an aggressively anti-feminist comments section on a blogpost about how it's wrong that MIT pulled Walter Lewin's online lecture videos after he was accused of sexually harrassing a student. Scott Aaronson, Friend To All Women, felt no need to intervene as his fans trashed the very notion of online sexual harrassment - only when a woman made an uncharitable remark about nerd men.

I'd love to know what he thinks they should play.

What's driving me mad at the moment is the plague of bands, artists, organizations using linktr.ee instead of a website (or even if they have a website). That's what your website is for!

How pig-headed does this schmuck have to be, not to realize that if there is a "lot of money", that means the billionaire has committed a more serious crime? A billionaire who evades his (or her, but lbr most of these people are men) fair share of tax offloads that cost onto the public, who are much less able to afford either tax hikes or lost services.

You're right, it's a totally libertarian attitude.

"There’s a lot of money going after a billionaire for tax evasion but not in someone having a side hustle where they make money under the table selling $50k worth of widgets per year."

Lol and indeed lmao. "One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic".

(...and who has a """side hustle""" with a $50k p.a turnover?! At that point it is no longer a side hustle)

Me and my mate had to come up with some fake policies for a fake Pirate Party and one of our policies was that the Irish government should commission a new internet browser. After all, the current bunch have a massive budget surplus that they want to get rid of before Sinn Féin get in.

Why didn't he calculate how many people are sexually harassed in a community? That seems a bit relevant, considering that most sexual harrassers harrass multiple people.

Leni Riefenstahl went off to like Sudan after the war to photograph indigenous people there.

Do the founders of religions usually get much out of it? Jesus was nailed to a cross.

That's the bitter truth isn't it. You'd think the raw and bloody reality would put people off.
