I read the book after seeing the movies and was truly shocked at how much of the novel that subplot took up. 

icles

Reducing that subplot to a single hand gesture in the film...was one of the better editorial choices Coppola made, to put it mildly.

Red 5, standing by!

That’s a 10-4, Laserface, you are coming through loud and clear on this breaker.

‘internet-stalks’. you mean finding posts you yourself made that are saved on a site where you’ve agreed to participate?

yeah, he’s dangerous and creepy. truly out of control. he’s definitely the one in the wrong here and not the sociopath defending the radio host who advises people to consume horse paste.

i don’t get why people are sore at you for this and gaslighting you about being some kind of ‘lunatic’. if you post shit here, be ready to defend it and stand by it. it isn’t some magically-sealed past information that’s out of bounds. if you said it, it’s findable on here, and it’s fair game. issues like this, which…

I think he just does it anytime someone seems to say the same type of shit over and over and they’re trying to pretend they don’t. Which just happens to happen a lot on the internet.

Someone else establishing a pattern of your behavior is absolutely disturbing if you didn’t ask for it, and even more so if you’re…

“But did you actually hear him SAY he hates Jews?” - Nazis on Hitler.
“But did he ever say he raped those women?” Guys defending Bill Cosby
“Prove it” - Every fascist and rapist

Laserface out here bringing receipts!

That has to be a far worse fate. Floating around in the world until a child imprisons you. Imagine dying then finding yourself enslaved by the child you scammed while alive.

KINJA records everything you say, not Laserface. What Laserface does is literally just look up your comments on your public Kinja page. It’s not hard. It literally takes two clicks.

Is it unnerving? Sure. Asking Kinja to stop other users from being able to look up things you said in the past on Kinja, something…

Well I mean you did come in here and immediately try to make this all about you, so if you’re not sociopathic, you’re at least highly egocentric. And you seem to be confusing nuance with obfuscation.

So you’re now officially that guy who wanders into a conversation and instantly starts ranting about someone you’re pissed off at who no one else knows who you’re talking about

Links still don’t work on Kinja. You gotta’ rip ‘em out before you post quotes containing them.

Why are you so upset that you’re calling laserface a sociopath? Chill. Don’t take yourself too seriously over there.

I think the issue with your argument is that a good portion of the JRE audience fundamentally misunderstands what “progressive” concepts actually are.

At the risk of sounding like a virtue signaling asshole, I cancelled my Spotify membership this weekend after being a subscriber for 10 years.  Just not able to stick my head in the sand after seeing the price of a media company actively promoting and steering users to misinformation for the sake of greater…

Okay.

Well, at least you didn’t make the mistake of adding anything useful to the conversation.
