Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

As suggested at this thread to general "yeah sounds cool". Let's see if this goes anywhere.

Original inspiration:

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to make it a post, there's no quota here

And I was so happy we had resisted talking about the graph/incident directly (here is the incident indirectly). My opinion remains a bit like, wow that is weird but good for her, and good to see they took safety seriously.

Mom: We have Eyes Wide Shut style orgies at home

Eyes Wide Shut orgies at home:

people are laughing because some people came in the fluffer, but I'm just thinking who logged all this shit? There was one person here who didn't participate but just had a clipboard and logged everybodies actions. The orgies middle manager.

Porn shoots have support crews too, but as per another reply it turns out they barely even bothered doing this themselves

My post was more a reaction to the know your meme people mocking the people who came in fluffers (which I found weird) than a real thing tbh.

Out of sheer fascination, I read her post. The actual answer is that they surveyed all the men after and logged their replies.

I'm sorry, it was never the intention of my post to make you go through that.

@drislands @Soyweiser I wonder what the error bars for self-reporting bias looked like.

[–] gerikson@awful.systems 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

ah, now I got that reference

let's see if it's something that continues to grow and grow so in 1 month or so people I know will try to explain it to me and I will have to pretend I've known all about it, because I am Terminally Online

Nah this thing has come and gone.
