        Thiel is still an old, creepy gay man. (I’m gay too, so I’m emphasizing the ‘creepy’ here.) It makes complete sense that he’d pick a young, attractive guy.

          Apparently funded by Thiel.

          It comes as no surprise to me at least. In recent years we’ve been hearing how these manosphere and right wing guys are funded by right wing oligarchs. I mean the basic production values are top notch. It can’t be explained simply by the widespread availability of professional film making equipment. Which is the explanation I hear often. You can pick a random content creator with no audience who has somehow procured expensive equipment yet they won’t be able to reach the same level of quailty because they don’t know what they’re doing. Plus they don’t have the money to buy production staff to run everything for them. That in itself gives a false sense of capability behind the characters.

            These guys need to be treated like terrorists. They’re training young boys and men to abuse and assault women. When conservatives cry about public schools teaching kids “liberal” values like sharing, it’s because they’re projecting. They’re the ones brainwashing boys to become violent misogynistic pricks.

          modern psychology doesn’t identify attraction to children as related to normal human sexuality like other sexual attractions, it’s outside that aspect of human behavior, and also not all child sexual abuse is related to attraction often it’s a rapist picking a ideal target.

            “Although some people who commit child sexual abuse are pedophiles, child sexual abuse offenders are not pedophiles unless they have a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children, and many pedophiles do not molest children.”

            That’s exactly what I am saying, calling every sexual abuse of children pedophilia makes it seem as if it was related to attraction, when most of the time it’s not.

          Criminality is an irrelevancy IMO, that just means that for good or bad reasons you’ve broken the law and been found guilty. If I degloved a member of the KKK before shooting them that’s illegal but not immoral IMO, if I was found guilty I would be a criminal but not necessarily immoral.

            No I’m not here to argue morality over others or play comparisons with you.

            Simply remove them from harming anyone else. You don’t have any jurisdiction for anything further but to keep yourself safe.

            When they are behind bars: you’re safe. Nothing further should be required for you. It’s a safety concern and nothing further as far as you are concerned.

            You only have to keep your own judgements for your own morals. Not theirs. Engaging or celebrating in torture is not looking after your own morals regardless of how you justify it.

            Your stuff <==//==> their stuff.

            It’s not a comparison. It never was.

    “The charges listed against Clavicular, 20, whose real name is Braden Peters, are one count of rape, one count of drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and one count of procuring liquor for someone under 21 years old, according to the records.”

    Looks like all charges are related to the same event.

        Pro tip: podcasts, audiobooks and such often work better at the speed of 1.15 or so.

        This message is brought to you by that time I watched ‘The Matrix’ 2 and 3 before discovering the speed option in VLC. Which I still lament.

            Idk, I like natural flow just fine, it’s just that some people talk slowly compared to others (to e.g. James Duane or Cory Doctorow). I can’t imagine removing every pause from a talk — or rather, I’ve seen videos that are edited that way, and it’s quite jarring.

            In fact, I’d prefer if audiobooks had more pauses in appropriate places, namely between chapters. I need a bit of time to file what I just heard under ‘a section ended’ without going into another one without a break.

              Eh, YMMV. The apps Overcast and Pocket Casts seem to make it work just fine so much so that I don’t really even notice it once I turn it on for a given podcast. At least with an app, it’s you with the power to change it, or turn it off/on, and you can decide which podcast(s) to turn it on for and how much it does.

              I think I know what you mean for certain videos…I hate it when some people use that “clipped” style when the video jumps, often for some kind of comic effect or to emphasize some point - I’m sure it has a name, but holy shit is it something I cannot unsee and I’ve been seeing it for so many years now. It seems so many Youtubers do it, especially if they trend younger. It is one of the most overdone effects ever - to the point that I bet sometime down the line, it will be mocked like the star-wipe effect is a joke from video editing software from the 80s…

              It reminds me of that style that radio uses a lot, where something is said, than it’s repeated again with an echo effect, and I’ve been hearing it since the 90s. I’m sure that has a name, too, but hearing these things is like the Wilhelm Scream - once you hear it, you’ll hear it over and over and over…

                Not comic really, it’s just all the “uhhh”s and “ummm”s cut out along with pauses that are deemed too long. Basically a way to one-shot the filming process by doing lots of editing. I definitely notice the editing when watching the video, idk for sure if I’d hear it just by the audio.

                  I wish I could find an example of what I’m talking about.

                  I think some is done more for “engagement” and editing for time and trying to game the YT algorithm (sigh) and like you said, removing the sneezes, coughs, uhhs and ums and doing it rather inartfully since it’s mostly a disposable format.

                  I’m talking about a certain style of presentation that seems intentionally done where sentence fragments are kind of chopped together where one word barely or doesn’t even end, and another begins.

                  What’s worse is I’ve heard Gen Z and alpha sometimes try to imitate this style in everyday speech and if people think vocal fry is annoying, holy fuck, this is 1000x vocal fry.

            ‘Work’ in the sense that they better match my speed of comprehension and the rhythm of life to which I’m used. The same way as films from the eighties are often quite slow, e.g. watching Bill Murray take half a minute to walk across the room in ‘Where the Buffalo Roam’ was too much.

            In the podcast app I’m using, I have speed setting for every subscription set to an optimal value, depending on the host/guests and the density of material.

            Previously I’ve also tried higher speed like 1.3, but found that I can’t remember the content afterwards.

        Yes, he screwed that up. I am aware of the issue and my info is in there. Whether it was intentional or not, I think Andrew made a mistake through ignorance (either that it was wrong or that he’d get caught) and he seems to be mostly owning up to it. I’d like to think he did not have ill intentions, so in light of the superlative work he and his team do I’ll let that one slide for now and move on. But I am also far too cynical to be convinced the list got deleted as promised.
