Saying that a 30-year-old cannot have sex with a 17-year-old (in CA) or a 16-year-old (in NY) is not a crazy law; it is the sort of "I would like to live in a civilization" law that I prefer to obey.

age of consent quoting aside, why would you make it sound like you only follow this law because you want to live in a society

Yes, exactly. The same capitalist/colonialist/imperialist forces that exploit the global south are the same that want AI to automate everyone into abject poverty. We can do better and show class solidarity by not perpetuating these racist stereotypes.

Was having trouble understanding this so I translated it through a couple LLMs, it just cost me a few cubic meters of water:

I am very smart. I’d like to point out one thing. Everyone other than me is stupid. Herpa derpa derpa derp.

This is a little too low hanging for its own post, spotted this from reddit:

It’s my strong belief that rats only like analytic philosophy because of the word “analytic” in the title. If there were some other broad category of philosophy with a name more synonymous with “rational” they’d be all over it.

Honestly waiting for them to show up and post their absolutely rancid takes is about 20-40% of the fun of this place

Before clicking in, I was convinced that “RightMove” was some new treacles aligned community and was trying to make sense of the name

There’s a lot to snark at. A few in particular:

  • Scott is irrationally scared of journalism. He talks about it as if it’s an omnipresent, omnipotent spectre that swoops down on people on a whim and destroys their lives when it pleases the spectre. In reality, the “whims” are a confluence of the subject’s presence in the public consciousness and market pressures on reporting.
  • Scott has no clue how power works. On one side, you have someone who resigned because of a billionaire-backed witch hunt. On the other, Oxman didn’t resign. Scott fails to see that it’s the billionaire who holds power here, and instead thinks it’s the journalists, specifically the ones that said his understanding of journalism was shit at best.
  • This whole post is really an expression/extension of Scott’s victim mentality/persecution complex/“nice guy” personality, where the mean ‘jocks’ (journalists/people scott doesn’t agree with) get to ‘date the hot girls’ (by which I mean, ‘commit lots of mild misdeeds’), while the ‘nice guys’ (the eugenicist sex creeps) are shunned by society.
