Decided to add this to my profile after I managed to piss off this pee guy (@p) so much that he started to send me markov chain generated DM's. :blobcat-cool:
@taylan

Oh, you're male. On "feministwiki.org?"

They're not gonna fuck yah bruh. And it would be a shit lay if they did. Not goth-gurl slice her name into your abs crazy. Lay there like a motionless lump then charge you with rape the next morning crazy.

Thought were we dealing with some empty-egg-carton spinster, not a soy-kin-creeper-ally.

Blah blah blah find a new "joke" or hang yourself you fucking NPC.

God, no wonder this pee guy loves talking about "human bots" because he's fucking surrounded by them.

This has happened in half of these posts, but with these two adjacent sentences, we may be approaching the theoretical lower-limit for self-awareness.

You've mentioned me in your bio and posted a screenshot of your bio because to you, this is important; to me, you are not even the only guy doing this routine this week, and it's just Tuesday.

Go about your business. You will be staring at death some day sooner than you think and as time runs short, you will regret making martyrs of the hours by wasting them trying and failing to make an enemy. Your domain and all of your activities on the internet are dedicated to some political cause but you haven't managed to persuade anyone by trying and failing to win slap-fights on the internet. You've openly complained about having no friends and you don't seem to have connected that lament to spending your time on this specific activity. Goddamn, dude, get it together.

I don't agree that "stop antagonizing idiots; don't you want the idiots to become your friends?!" is any kind of good advice.

I've always been a very well liked person IRL, which is why internet clowns clowning on me never actually bothers me. For example, I've left my last work place on good terms with everyone, being told their door is always open, and some coworkers trying to keep up private contact with me, but I tend to politely ghost them or turn down invitations to social events.

I could easily make friends if I wanted to, but most people bore or frustrate me for a variety of reasons, so I politely turn away from them. Unintelligent people can't seem to tell that this fedi account is 50% a joke and not what I'm like in earnest... And pee seriously seems to have thought that me lamenting about the stupidity of various online spaces was me complaining about "not having friends" because he has no reading comprehension.

that's not what p wrote

> being told their door is always open

that's common courtesy when parting on good terms

> and some coworkers trying to keep up private contact with me, but I tend to politely ghost them or turn down invitations to social events.

people being nice rewarded with ghosting👌

> I could easily make friends if I wanted to, but most people bore or frustrate me for a variety of reasons, so I politely turn away from them.

i think you might mistake acquaintances for friends. from what i know you are about to enter an age where having real friends will become increasingly hard.

> Unintelligent people can't seem to tell that this fedi account is 50% a joke and not what I'm like in earnest...

do you yourself know which half is the serious part? you just wrote a hundred words in reply to me agreeing to what p wrote. was that serious, or shitposting?

> And pee seriously seems to have thought that me lamenting about the stupidity of various online spaces was me complaining about "not having friends" because he has no reading comprehension.

i have no idea what post of yours p references, but i'm pretty sure reading comprehension isn't ps issue. declaring people stupid or insane is a very lazy argument imo.

@bonifartius @p @SilverDeth

I responded to you separately and more earnestly than in my other posts because unlike other people in the thread I have some respect for your opinions based on past interactions.

You're free to believe or disbelieve what I tell you about my own life and IRL relations. It ultimately doesn't matter, but I thought I'd clarify.

I just like to clown on pee and his orbiters because most of them are contemptible and perpetually annoying. Imagine basing your entire identity around the fact that you want to be free to be able to call people "niggerkike faggot." That's what "free speech extremists" are. They give genuine free speech activism a bad name.

And pee in particular is this ultra arrogant insufferable guy who keeps posturing like an internet tough guy, writing huge novels at people trying to clown on them (often being blatantly wrong while doing so, like when he freaked out because I said "no, passwords are text actually, not just bytes") and then trying to "own" them by ... *checks notes* ... spamming incomprehensible DMs at them generated by a literal bot, which just makes him look like he's having a mental breakdown. Talk about lacking hobbies. No matter what I do, I don't drop down to that level. Would rather play video games, or at least write fedi shitposts that are halfway funny.

@taylan @p @SilverDeth you can do things however you like when it comes to personal relations. i just don't think that it's that easy to make friends. i was invited by colleagues as well - it's just what some people do. that doesn't mean they are friends i'd rely on, especially after witnessing close friends going crazy during chinese flu era.

to me, using language like "orbiters" reflects how you seem to view others: not like equals who you might dislike or disagree with but as lowers. you can very well just mute people. i collected quotes in my bio as well but specifically without calling out people. it serves to keep away the collectivists. interestingly most of these quotes are in one sense or another saying i'm cognitively challenged, a classic argument of collectivists for centuries.

the point of free speech IS that you can use these words, because they are just words. I don't use them because I think using this language does change myself more than it changes others. insulting doesn't help me improve myself, neither does it further the goals i deem important.
p has a pretty good post on the FSE blog about free speech.

i haven't read your exchange about passwords. representation doesn't matter, as long as it's a reversible operation it doesn't change the strength of a password.

i think it's a pretty good hobby to hack on things which solve ones problems. annoying people on the net being one problem, a bot that replies them nonsensical stuff with the objective that they leave one alone is a pretty amusing solution.

in the post which i said was good advice, p suggested that arguing with people online might not be the the best way to spend ones limited time alive.

@bonifartius @taylan @SilverDeth

> i just don't think that it's that easy to make friends.

Making and keeping them requires you to recognize some unpleasant things about yourself and either fix these things or at least get control of them. People with zero friends, like this guy who is too great to stoop to the level of acquiring friends, end up more stunted than people that live in an echo chamber. It's depressing.

> the point of free speech IS that you can use these words, because they are just words.

Yeah, you can't stop ideas by stopping words; what people have issues with is the idea, and they want to cure acne by cutting off pimples (a metaphor borrowed from Orwell).

> i haven't read your exchange about passwords. representation doesn't matter, as long as it's a reversible operation it doesn't change the strength of a password.

It was conversion to UTF-8 by assuming encoding, which is a destructive operation, and then normalizing it, which is another destructive operation. Treating a password as an opaque token is the only way to handle it; you don't need to do any text processing on a password and shouldn't anyway, especially if you are doing text processing that is opaque to the user, and definitely if you are using something like iconv: imagine the Unicode Consortium changing a normalization rule and iconv reflecting it and then passwords breaking when the library is updated.

> p suggested that arguing with people online might not be the the best way to spend ones limited time alive.

Yeah, and he's not even arguing. He has said himself in other threads that the point is to antagonize people to "expose idiots" or just to take out personal frustrations on people he hates: he doesn't care about the things he is arguing about so it's pointless to discuss anything with him. So I had written him off as an idiot when he first did that, and then when he explained his actual goal, I wrote him off as completely pointless. He keeps hopping accounts, though, so he's hard to avoid.
@bonifartius @p @SilverDeth

Bro you can stop trying to psycho-analyze me. Not once in my life did I have someone trying to do that end up giving me good advice. At some crucial times, doing the opposite of what people suggest has yielded optimal results.

I guess I appreciate the attempt, but you're really going off of basic misconceptions, like thinking that I'm looking for friends or something? I'm all set, really.

> in the post which i said was good advice, p suggested that arguing with people online might not be the the best way to spend ones limited time alive

That is *extremely* ironic, coming from him.

I do this when I lack the drive to do other things. The time would otherwise be wasted watching random entertainment on YouTube, or playing video games, so it's all the same really. Dunking on insufferable people can be pretty fun. Though admittedly it is pretty annoying when he calls like 20 of his friends for emotional support, and I have to go through notifications muting people.
