I’m not so much concerned with their fiscal policy. > Pedophilia is a sexual orientation and is completely natural, it is not a disorder, it should be morally and legally accepted. is where I drew the line. Well, a line. There were plenty of lines to draw there.

They are correct. Note that pedophiles, on average, discover their orientation at 14 years old. They first experienced it when they were just 12, on average. 42% of MAPs (minor attracted persons) had suicidal thoughts at 16 years old. 32% had concrete plans for ending their life, and 13% actually attempted to end their life. The most common age of first suicide attempt for MAPs is 14 years old. Of those who attempted…

I am sympathetic to someone diligent about not acting on their attraction to children. I’m attracted to adult women. I didn’t choose to be. I just am. I can’t imagine how much it’d suck if people wanted to kill me because I liked women. So in that sense, I feel bad for people attracted to kids who take steps to never, ever act on it. That would be a tough life to live.

OTOH this guy claims to have “non-sexual” pictures of naked children on his website. Damned if I’m going to click through to see if his idea of non-sexual is the same as mine. Someone advocating pedophilia while collecting pictures of naked children is beyond the pale. That’s acting on it. I cannot and will not tolerate, let alone accept, that action.

“ The aliasing is quite extreme ” One interesting thing in becoming a graphics expert and discussing graphics with non-graphicsprogrammers, is that many don’t care about aliasing. Aliasing in sound is usually painfully untolerable. It does not seem to be like that in graphics. Based on this, I dont’t think aliasing is a technical critical fault - it should be considered a specific aesthetic IMHO. As long as people ca…

> it should be considered a specific aesthetic IMHO Case in point, in a 3D platform/adventure game i made back in 2020 for an MSDOS game jam[0], the rasterizer has intentional "flaws" - like lack of subpixel and subtexel accuracy, no zbuffering and no perspective correction (and perhaps unintuitively, the last two actually made the whole renderer more complex) because i had in my mind a specific "glitchy" look. Addin…

I forgot about taht game, I loved it.

I agree with your sentiment - and I apologize, I've since revised my comment. Hating on memory safety as a concept is pretty cognitively dissonant for a programmer (and in this case [& many others], cognitive dissonance is a sign of some underlying mental illness). Memory safety is something a programmer should strive to achieve 100%. Not only that, but static typing is absolutely unrelated to memory safety. (How can…

Depends on the use case, while you care about it when writing software for use on modern systems, low level programming on something where you can have unrestricted access to, for example, all of its 1024 bytes of address space at once can be fun too But of course appreciating this doesn't equal "hating memory safety"

I agree with you.

He's conflating memory safety with languages that provide memory safety (by which I think he means Rust, as that's another thing listed in his "disliked" things list) - that's what I feel is the dumbest about this. For me, this seems like the most of his code is riddled with use-after-free, double-free, not freeing etc. bugs. He may be intelligent, but if his intelligence goes to no use (besides making random C side projects..), it is not worth it. Also he claims he was a member of Mensa, no comment on that one.

Also worth nothing that this person is an open pedophilia advocate and "race realist" as can be seen on their homepage https://www.tastyfish.cz/ Can't speak for the quality of the software but important to note.

I’ve seen quite a few instances of excellent art produced by people whom I would classify as extremely abominable, so I think we should eat the fish, throw out the bones here. He’s quite the specimen, though. Wow. I remember reading stuff by crazy people on the old internet some years ago, he sure would fit right in.

For anyone curious, the name for this is "nut picking" ! :)

Dude is the king of incels. What I see is a lot of "I'm lonely" on the page, but at the same time he lives out in the woods and has the kind of personality that made this page. Dude would probably benefit greatly from some dude taking him under his wing and getting him cleaned up inside and out, but that is a huge task for anybody to consider. This guy is really far gone at this point.

He extensively talks a ton about pedophilia. He for sure is a pedo. - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Drummyfi... - https://old.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/7v5ihj/nobody_says_i... - https://old.reddit.com/r/UnethicalLifeProTips/comments/7axrc...

I have a theory that in cases like this the pedophilia is more of a symptom of his living conditions. If the guy got cleaned up, made some real life fiends, and even started actually dating it would fade into the background. I would never hire him as a babysitter or schoolteacher, but he could live a normal life if he took care of the loneliness issue.

I'm not so sure. This guy lives off welfare, rants about being a pedo online, and is a 34 yr old self-admitted virgin. I think he's too far gone and fucked in the head mentally to be "saved" or being able to be molded into a productive citizen in society.

He is also the maintainer of a web browser whose specification seems to be ‘to leave as little trace as possible in the event of a police raid’, which is pretty suspicious.

Your home can be raided for, say, running a Tor node, and you best believe they'll be looking for anything to charge you with because that's their job. I don't see anything wrong with this one. Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany.

In my country "tools designed for hacking" (simplifying legalese a bit) are illegal, but I'm not aware of anyone who was sentenced purely because of this. I think it might've been an additional charge during trials of actual cybercriminals.

I was about to flag this comment but... yikes. You're right. Super awkward. "I immediately turn off any documentary where a woman starts talking as a "scientist"." - what the hell.

"Some things I like: [...] - *n-word* - objectifying women - weak women - stalking"

Could that page be all sarcasm? Is this person head to toe drowned deep in sarcasm and living a sarcastic life?
