Unfortunately it probably makes him really unpleasant to be around.

Well, if he uses the Internet as an outlet for that (and he may), then he's probably not all that unpleasant in person, as long as he doesn't lose his temper or have the persona slip in another way. Or he could be as much of a douchebag in person as online, but whatever.

And while I'm ranting and being mean, I really detest the whole "you should respect me because I have a degree and am older." Well, DW, you and Henry Kissinger, you and Henry Kissinger.

linkaz plz

My brain originally processed this as you calling him Mallard Fillmore.

blargh

most pre 2004 rts games have awful pathfinding which is also why their ai sucks

seriously anything tile-based uses a really shit and inefficient way to path which results in both traffic jams and lag as they path each time

yeah

i have such fond memories of these games

but ugh. perhaps i should get my brother to play it two player that's where the good shit is anyway

The best part is when ole duck boy rants about how managers are bad people because he isn't one

guys, human races are real biological constructs

yeah they're totally different from how the word race is actually used and biologically a black person may be more white than a white person and the social idea of race is bullshit

but races are real

they're out there somewhere

plotting against each other

in a neverending jihad


ps if the thing you are describing is totally different from the meaning of the word you're trying to describe it with

maybe you are

fucking stupid

can anyone who's been around a long time tell whether mike's stuff has gotten worse?

i mean i remember being enraptured by his spiels but that was when I understood it to be just a bunch of silly pew pews on the internet

and not you know

eugenics



i really don't want to speculate a whole bunch on the guy because that tends to go into hyperbolic territory

but damn

If you believe that SCIENCE! can solve all of life problems

then it's only logical to jump into the belief that you can solve the source of all evils

aka the "human nature"

thus the wicked seed of eugenism is planted into a man's mind

and if this seed find a fertile soil and is constantly nourished by a favorable climate

the wicked seed will give place to a wicked tree festering contempt and hate toward the lesser races

yeah i used to look up to him and how he atheistized and huge brained his way through swathes of trekkies and fundies

i think now we just realize (TEN YEARS LATER) that he's just kind of insecure and wants to be always right

not that I deny his intelligence, but you can't measure the yottatons of social skills

Respect the rank, not the man is what we used to say. He gets the minimum for being admin and has to earn anything else, he has not.

FWIW, I've met Mike in person and he's a lot less aggressive there than online. He was pretty cool to hang out with IMO.

it's a lot easier to call someone a hatfucker when you don't have to look them in the eyes


like yesterday some woman was running to catch the bus, but it had already left. she wanted to get on when the bus had stopped momentarily to let some people across the road, but the bus can't really do that, so she flipped the driver off. but actually the driver had intended to stop at a nearby bus stop (where the this bus isn't actually supposed to stop) to let her on, and he opened the window and told her to go to there.

and i mean you could almost touch the awkwardness when she got on

it was awesome

so yeah, if you yelled hatfucker at the slightest misunderstanding, you'd have a very interesting life

Dooey, that's exactly the sort of thing I'd expect some Dumbledorf-killing hatfucker to say.

what does hatfucker even mean

as an insult, i can't make sense of it. someone who fucks hats? what

Considering the size of most hats, you'd think being able to fuck one would be a source of pride.

"they mean fucking the sorting hat in its big leathery mouth"

whatever that means, recognizer said that

That's a Harry Potter reference. The students are sorted into their various houses by a talking hat.

Is that really where it came from?

It couldn't be. I heard it long before I ever saw HP.

Fuck no, it's been slang in the Army for decades.
