that is literally a dude’s crappy blog and he clearly went to fiverr to pay for disqus commenters on some of those articles, like this one: https://www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/2017/9/5/pe-icp-me-and-the-agony-and-ecstasy-of-longterm-collaboration

try ublock origin, it’s merciless with ads.

lol i know i just wanted to write a long thing about it. good chat, b town.

well, no. to the extent that they can cut low-skill labor costs via automation, outsourcing and prison slaves they already have with zero resistance from any regulatory mechanism. we’re already living that reality, we have one of the worst labor participation rates in the developed world and post-soviet style deaths…

i like FCH and his 20,000 word articles. it’s not all great but his perspective is, imo, honest and often insightful. the “obvious”ness of his analyses are part of the charm, it’s not exactly obvious to the people who wrote the works he’s criticizing and having a transparent rubric for what works and what doesn’t is a…

*conspiracy theory time* it was pretty obvious, to me at least, that they hadn’t really fired devin when the quality of their film crit hulk articles took a massive nosedive right after the big controversy. the backlash was so strong FCH had to do a whole second article to explain why the black mirror review sounded…

the liquor store by the western blue line always has it

a ceo also provides a service. your definition of service work lacks utility imo. i expected better from a programmer, whose entire thing is built around logic and the understanding thereof.

lol i meant paying people a living wage to do those things which is a thing you would’ve noticed if you’d read my comment. please read stuff before replying to it, it makes the kinja experience much smoother. thanks in advance!

lol remember when hillary said mccain would make a better president than obama because of his decades of experience, and also that 15% of her supporters voted for john mccain?

this is pretty dumb.

lol i’m going to cum buckets when you tech dweebs get replaced by a simulated intelligence that does your job better than you do for pennies on the dollar and we get to talk about retraining your overpaid hunchbacked asses back into the service industry.

yep. childish, sanctimonious turdboy. that’s devin. feel free to give him a slap if you run into him again.

let’s get this post ungreyed ASAP!

to be fair the idea of retraining appalachian coal miners into programmers is almost exactly as stupid as the idea of bringing coal jobs back

he’s really not very charming or seductive at all, he’s just a smirky chode and high level troll. the idea that he has any shot at mainstream appeal outside of an extremely niche segment of self-styled intellectual white supremacists because he has a nice haircut and doesn’t yell is, imo, ridiculous.

nah

devin is really, really, really, really bad at writing though. let’s give writing jobs to people who write well AND aren’t rapists. food for thought.

that would be chill

let’s give credit where credit is due here. in all fairness, while devin faraci may be rapey, he’s also a fucking terrible writer and critic and it’s insane that he ever got paid to write in the first place. so maybe the truth is in the middle? idk. just trying to be fair here.
