I still find it hard to imagine that there are real people who give their money to people like Wu. It's one thing to sympathise with someone you assume is being truthful about their miserable situation, it's another thing entirely to want to bankroll their lives for no reason other than that they tell a good sob story.

I used to get kinda annoyed by the idea that some people coast through their existence on pitybucks for being attentionwhores and shitstorm instigators, but at some point I realized 2 things:
1) These overblown budgets some of those people receive mean that a shitton of idiots invest a lot of money into them. That, in extension, means these people waste a good part of their money on some unnecessary bullshit, which diminishes their own quality of life.
2) The people that receive the money are dumb. Like, really fucking dumb. They blow their pitybucks on frivolities and they can afford some nice things for the time they get that money. However, the pitybuck stream will run dry at some point. So, that means they will grow fat and lazy, with a huge blank spot in their resume, and they are not going to invest or save their money. The moment their pitybuck-party stops, they are up shit creek without a paddle. They are accustomed to a livestyle they can no longer afford, they are hilariously unqualified to work any regular job and even if they try to get one, they will have to explain a years-long gap in their resume during which they did nothing but partake in circlejerks and shitstorms. Also, possible employers won't be too enthusiastic about what they find when googling said person's name.

So, in short, I just hope the current high will eventually turn south so quickly, these people will get whiplash from the sudden change. Meanwhile, a lot of morons spend a lot of their hard earned money on something incredibly pointless.

Wu will continue to funnel excuses until he comes up with one that he thinks can stick. My guess is "my life has been threatened if I release the game so for my safety I can't".

My money's on "Oingoboingogaters put a virus on our office main server and it fried every copy of the Special Needs Edition", tbh.

Yes, Wu, it's because she's a woman and not because they don't like her.

But they obviously don't like her only cause she's a woman. Cause y'know, that's totally the only thing one could hate about her. Right?

Part of why Brianna only wants people to be following her Twitter for project updates is because she is never off Twitter and the sheer volume of tweets she puts out makes it easy to "lose" the stuff that could get her in trouble.

Also she can blame "Natalie" for fucking things up - tech industry is pretty cool because as a white man you can point the finger at a pregnant woman and she'll take the fall

Too bad there's a group of very bored and very :autism: people who log everything Wu says :tomgirl:

Should I be flattered or insulted? :jace:
 
Of all the things to dislike about Hillary Clinton the fact that she's a women is so far down the list it's encountering mole people.

The fact Wu supports her is up in the clouds though. She's like captain wrong way, just do the opposite and we'll all be better off.

 
Interestingly, re this (pinned tweet)

For the love of God, try to avoid describing women as "females." You ALWAYS sound like a Ferengi.

It fails to consider the nuanced nature of gender and generalizes by ASSUMING (or, rather, imposing) gender and gender identity as one and the same

People may not be describing the declared gender identity of "woman"as "female", but may be speaking to various biological, etc factors .
So one could, for example, describe Wu as a woman and a male...a male woman.

whereas what is sometimes described as "cis", etc one might describe a female woman as female..a female woman


To merely ASSUME, out of hand, that describing someone as "female" necessarily describes"woman" could be seen as a form of gender oppression
 
That's right, Johnny-boy, you stick it out - you've never given up on anything in your life
