I had weight loss surgery but the real fix would have been popularity, girls, fun and travel. I had a big need for those things but wasn't shaped right for it, so I compensated with other things.
@thor I spent a lot of my time in a gym weight training and it mostly attracted the same sex.
It's almost like the universe is trying to groom me.
@AmpBenzScientist Are you saying the universe wants to abuse you sexually?
@thor Not really. It was more of a joke than anything. If I were to take it to HR, I would just get fired.
@AmpBenzScientist I was also joking
@thor HR and the University equivalents are essentially there to limit the damage to their interests. I saw things in University that made me want to contact the police but I knew it wouldn't make a difference.
A few young women who had empty eyes and a system that couldn't be challenged. The soul crushing reality of Amerikan degree farms. They only cause student loan debt, give false hopes, try to break some and the few professors who are the pillars of light they should be.
I guess what I'm implying is that HR empowers lower predators while they prey on everyone. Also Universities hide crimes by manipulating people who are likely the victims. They'll use anything one has ever said, health information, reports from peers and a lot of things they shouldn't have access to.
I know this might make some people cancel me but RMS is a good example. The emails that were leaked made it look like he was a piece of trash. The full emails showed him being informed of the sex trafficking of minors by people at the University.
What's a good way to get rid of someone who just has strong beliefs, damage the credibility of the FSF and an actual problem that the University knew about before it became public? Throw RMS under the bus, get rid of those who were connected to the main crime and use influence to get the press to focus mainly on RMS.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation played their part along with The TOR Project in shaming RMS and the FSF while they made ideological changes and license changes while being on their high horse. Some people still believe RMS did something besides being difficult to deal with.
This is what happens when someone exposes something that a University doesn't want out in the public. If it's connected to government, death would be too humane.
These are the things that are addressed briefly and quickly forgotten about. I'll see if I can find that person's name and I'll put it in. RMS wasn't convicted of a crime.
@thor Selam Jie Gano via Medium and later published by Vice.
It's strange that someone who worked in their AI Lab since 1971 would be treated like trash.
MIT employees tried to cover up their Epstein program. When it's a University and they are facing bad publicity, it doesn't matter how much one has accomplished.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation and The TOR Project were good dogs and hopefully were given their 30 pieces.
The gist of this is that there's no justice, the EFF & Tor are incredibly gullible or open to influence for donations and Academic Integrity is a joke.
Somehow GitHub played a role in that whole thing. I also wonder if Selam was incentivised to release that crafted information.
It's all about the money and public image. From Universities dealing with suicides in highly unethical ways or trying to cover up a sex trafficking ring. One doesn't stand a chance against their influence.
It's not a conspiracy, all of the information is available.
@AmpBenzScientist Out of sight, out of mind, as they say. Coverups are a thing. But what do you do with that information? You can't do anything.
@AmpBenzScientist I suppose you could try to set up an independent news organisation for investigative journalism, but they'll just make you look bad somehow.
@AmpBenzScientist These an actress I forget the name of, who was only a kid when she was subjected to that.
@AmpBenzScientist One of them was Shirley Temple.

"In her 1988 memoir, Child Star, Temple recounted an incident involving an MGM producer with an "adventuresome casting couch" who allegedly exposed his penis to her when she was just 12. Temple said she didn't know what to do, and when she began to laugh nervously the producer kicked her out of the office."
@AmpBenzScientist The Marx brothers worked in Hollywood during the classic era and I'm reminded of this joke he once cracked:
@thor I've heard that UN Peacekeepers enjoy plenty of that activity where they get sent.
The older I get, the more of that activity I see. Apparently human trafficking is more profitable and less risky than drugs. Man's inhumanity towards man will never stop surprising me.
@AmpBenzScientist I'm not saying it is. The thing is: If it's not written about in the media or brought up criminally or legally, no one knows and no one cares.
