Maybe next time they do this dumb thing I'll post "I'm not your stalker but you, and others like Shreds, do realize that under socialism malingering and living off others labor would be severely punished, right? Read your Lenin (or Trotsky or Mao or Marx or...): 'the prime, basic and root principle of socialism: He who does not work, neither shall he eat.' Claiming a disability isn't a way out like under capitalism."

j/k but I am always curious about what people's cope is.

Don’t poke the exhibits

You're trying to trick us into being unethical, some of us read the theory by the experts.  

Whole-ass (eat it) thread text:

One MUST resist the urge to lolcow. I'd call it one of the most important urges to resist on the contemporary internet, actually

Lolcowing is an apparatus that turns a person into a renewable source of entertainment. It refers to an ongoing *relationship* rather than an individual, I think. The relationship is extractive and one-directional; the "cow" doesn't consent, doesn't benefit, and isn't a participant in the exchange.

A couple things distinguish it from ordinary mockery. One is context collapse as a production requirement: you have to strip out like, any audience they wrote for, any body of work, their tone because all of that is what made the thing sayable, and so all of it gets in the way of making it laughable

As a practice it systematically selects for vulnerability. The traits that make someone "funny" like earnestness, oversharing, inability to read the room or modulate, visible distress, not getting the joke are very often the markers of neurodivergence, mental illness, isolation, or just being young.

This is tricky because it sometimes looks almost identical to criticizing public ideas, satire of the powerful etc, which is legitimate. And the people lolcowing are overwhelmingly, sincerely sure that's what they're doing. Sincerity of belief can't be the thing that distinguishes one from the other

Also, "has the person we're mining for content and laughs done shitty stuff" can't be the thing either. Someone can genuinely suck, the charges can be 100% true And Yet that doesn't justify an extractive relationship which is necessarily abusive and corrosive to victim and perpetrator.

For one, ordinary criticism aims at a correction and can be satisfied. Lolcowing aims at a supply, and a supply is satisfied only by continued production. It doesn't want the "cow" to change; it wants them to keep producing. There's no stopping condition.

Overall I'd locate the difference between criticism and lolcowing in four axes: direction, object (a person, or a position/action?), stopping condition (is the ongoing supply the point? it often is) and charity (engaging the strongest version of what someone said, or the most mockable?).

This is a sad thing to buy into as a human being, even when it's tempting. Contempt is habit-forming and it flattens your perception; practice seeing people as types-to-be-milked and you get worse at seeing people as people, full stop, including the ones you love.

It's also epistemically ruinous; because the caricature is the product, the practice requires bad-faith reading. It trains you to read for maximum dunkability instead of for understanding.

I think it's really critical to take a hardline no on lolcowing even when it's someone you actively dislike; the only stance that holds has to be target-independent since sincerity of belief and just deserts aren't good benchmarks on their own. There's no justified use of the Torment Nexus, y'know?

Also I think the world is a beautiful place full of interesting people and not a freakshow, and increasingly thinking of it as a freakshow is limiting to your own ability to thrive as a human being.

I think existence invented the concept of doing something to stay alive.  I don't think Das Kapital has a chapter about getting rid of the Krebs Cycle

Based on the like/retweet and bio I have a sneaking suspicion it’s with this individual, call it a hunch. Trans pornstar so nsfw

If true I can't wait for Malds and the new roommate to do A Requiem for a Dream dildo scene homage.

You're welcome for that mental picture.

Alright, you're free to have a duty to produce while being either tied to the land or the apprenticeship of your family. Am I not merciful?

Between them, these 4 women have seen every anime

Shreds would be better off living in that U-Haul

[Ethan]

After a cursory glance of the Bluesky of the two possible candidates, I hope for Mald's sake it's option 2. Though, regardless, I think she'll have to put out.

it's beyond delusional to think that I'm a man when I keep doing things no man has ever done, such as giving women multiple mind-bending orgasms in a row

[kaleidoscopium]

My hunch is that Malds is living with both of them, and a few other homeless bald men. This next arc should be a real treat.

New room and already got garbage on the floor, notice the tv box as well... money well spent

His parents must be going out their minds watching this disaster unfolding. I'd have had him sectioned for his own good.

They're probably taking a much-needed holiday, honestly.

And in the process of having their names legally changed.

And fulfilling their suicide pact

They’ve probably gone into witness protection.

Shreds is being passive aggressive against Molly:

Meanwhile Shred's old man -

And now it's all over. And that's the best part. Today, everything is different. There's no 40 yr old slug living in my basement demanding new graphics cards. I even get decent food now. Right after I got here I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce. I'm an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook."

The funny thing is, he's so right. 

If he had just admitted this to himself 14 years ago instead of destroying his mind and body in pursuit of an impossible goal, he'd probably be ok.

Is it this, or any port in a storm?

Liked by fat4all, guess Malds and him are done

There's a girl across the ocean who thinks you're one of the coolest and prettiest people on the planet. Who stays up until nearly 2 am every
morning just to say hi to you. Who trusts you with everything.
You have impact.
You matter.

“That girl used to be a married dude that wishes to be a wife. Currently is a societal parasite that hates working and improving himself in any capacity that is not dressing like a girl half his age. He is a terrible person. 

You matter to him.”
