HOLY FUCK.

[FVBTVS]

also i kinda love this kids response video. almost a pitch perfect reaction.

All Quiet on the Western Front as the defining novel of the 20th century =

Such a dead giveaway when someone can't discuss literature without falling back on books they were assigned in high school.

also i kinda love this kids response video. almost a pitch perfect reaction.

I've got a podcast coming up

sorry to miss this windfall of content - I'm at science camp

Davis M.J. Aurini is an absolutely phenomenal find

beginning research

his Fantano levels are off the charts here:

anti-hivemind_atheism rant is sadly in line with my beliefs though

4:00 - pro paleo diet content
for health reasons... while smoking (I think his cigs are real)

4:40 - critical examination of Penn&Teller, PRO-CRIONICS content

8:00 - the bait & switch regarding his level of education/ignorance
"...if anything, I'm possibly a renaissance man..."

help me identify all the elements of the set dressing: devastated union jack, einstein poster saying ____, tank poster, ____ tank model, painting: Hopper's Nighthawks, crown + rifles (canadian military insignia)

[Blair]

spent seven years serving as an Infantry soldier in Canada’s military reserve, and studied History at McMaster University.

[Blair]

Nighthawks?


What a cheese-ball!

The crown and rifle is a Canadian military insignia.

[Necrometer]

roger that

oh, and rape_culture is real and everyone should at least try to understand that

[riley-o]

Cowboy hat and army men in this one

[Necrometer]

- can't wait

also, this was killer:

A man with a lisp calling people xasthur fans. What a world.

[FVBTVS]

at no point should agreeing with a little bit or a lot a bit of what he's saying dissuade you from hating his pathetic guts. obviously..

i'm sure no one here needs to be told that i'm just making obvious post obvious.

[Necrometer]

I know man

Ross please do a parody video of this dude. Please. Set up a Kickstarter for it if you have to.

I am ultra into this. He looks even more like me than Fantano does

But, as with the Fantano parody, I need that perfect content. Without the M.A. album debacle to work with, it would have been nothing. I am tired as shit right now but am officially opening the suggestion box for the Davis M J Aurini parody project. Nobody get salty if I apply an impossibly high bar as I always do

oh jesus I just remembered his "novel"

do I have to read it? I hope I can find a workaround

I am an internationally recognized author and consultant whose work has been featured in FFwd Magazine, The Hawaii Reporter, and The Washington Times amongst others. On my YouTube channel my most popular video has received 18,000 views to date, and my novel has an Amazon rating of 4.6/5, with many glowing reviews.

My highly popular blog features topics on past, present and future social, political, economic and gender trends as well as politics, philosophy and business. I've been doing this for quite some time, and my present stature is thanks to networking, past apprenticeship to experienced writers, and, ultimately, producing the sort of product that people enjoy.

My experience is rich and multidisciplinary in scope and competence. For seven years I served in the armed forces, I have a substantial background in RF communications, I've done advertising/marketing for small businesses, and have worked in leadership roles for several different companies.

I am currently breaking into voice acting with my first audiobook.

god fucking DAMMIT he's worked in military, marketing, and management... he's like a chimera of my most detested stations

just found out what SEM is


HOLY FUCK THIS KID'S BONG-RIPPING RESPONSE VIDEO (iconography: mustang flag/banner, conspicuously vacant whiteboard, bauhaus shirt, pink (?) hair, fish tank that appears to have been occupied once and since evaporated itself into nonexistence?)


mega RAND sentiment here:

no way this guy has normal sex with women

4:00 - deconstruction of gender in Star Trek TNG
8:00 - anti-MRA content actually begins - this particular video mostly sucks tbqh

fuckin' whole video about ST:


imagine sitting down in front of a camera every for half an hour time you a new idea appeared in your dome

[Blair]

Regarding his accomplishments: no military rank provided // no history degree provided.

[Blair]

History's narrative is a liberal invention?

There was the bible and the Catholic Church...

Way to ignore the other civilizations...

[Blair]

I have no idea how long after the apocalypse this douche's novel takes place, and there does seem to be some sort of trade network.

But there seems to be plenty of coffee, cigarettes, and cigars available.

I've reached the end of chapter 2

Up until the last act of the second chapter it read like a really long fictionalization of a rpg session. The first chapter is the standard introduction to the two protagonists/player characters and their meeting.

In the second chapter the two player characters are discussion the technical details of repairing the bad-ass Mad Max warrior's motorcycle while they drive the bad-ass facially-pierced-and-goateed mechanic's truck along the road to where Mad Max's motorcycle broke down. There is a discussion of the loss of technical knowledge which abruptly segues into an overbearing Randian/Sheeple/Ignorance of the Masses/The herd preferring to pretend that disturbing truths do not exist discussion.

Wentworth nodded, “Oh, I trust you with it, that’s not the issue. I was just saying that not many people are educated on the old tech. It’s rare to find someone who is.” “The problem’s will, not education.” “Say again?” Raxx sighed, looking exasperated. “Alright, it’s like this – take Blackstock. . . .

But then here’s the problem – there’s no new construction in the town. The buildings that aren’t prewar are all scrapped together.” “Yeah, but it’s like that everywhere.

“Exactly my point. It’s as if . . . people – people everywhere – have just given up. They’d rather sit around trying to forget the past than pick up the pieces and try to rebuild. Even out West where the people are richer and they’ve got more tech, all anybody focuses on is politics and cash. Not learning. Not rebuilding.” Raxx reached into his pocket to pull out another cigar, then changed his mind and put it away. “I think it’s because people are trying to forget about the war, forget about the tech – I can even understand why. Every day we’re paying for it – just look around, the war’s everywhere and it doesn’t stop. People just want put it out of their minds – but that’s crazy because as long as they forget about the tech, and the learning behind it, everything we have is broken. “We’re squatting on the shoulders of giants. We live in their houses, use their tools, we even keep the same names for the cities. How about the fact that I make a living by maintaining the old tech? There’s a lot of guys that do. I try and build some things, sure, but mostly what I do is just fix stuff that’s broken down – stuff that I can’t build in the first place

“The old tech is everywhere, it’s in the roots – but nobody knows how to build it. Most guys, sure, they know what buttons to push, they know how to fix parts of it, but they don’t know the whole process. They don’t know why they push the buttons… “Everyone’s closed their eyes to the underlying truth. It’s . . . it’s ignorance on purpose, and it’s everywhere. It’s like knowledge scares people – you know what? I think it does. There aren’t many who want to hear me explain what I’m doing, or how to prevent the malfunction from happening again, no matter how much cheaper it’d be. They just want it fixed and working so that they can forget about it.” This time he did pull out the cigar and light it. “Some places actually think that being ignorant is a good thing, and that learning about this stuff is evil. It’s like; instead of examining, they ignore reality – finding out what’s going on would break whatever they want to be true. They won’t try to see the gears behind the walls, they won’t open up the black boxes, they won’t look under the rug; they just want everything to keep doing its magic.

He shook his head. “But it won’t. One day, if nobody learns the how and why of it all, every last bit of tech is gonna rusts away to nothing. And then we’ll never have it again. And we’ll go back to the pretech days… “That’s what I meant about it being a matter of will, not education. People don’t have the will to understand things; they’ve only got the will to be ignorant. And it’s because of that, that we live in shitty, recycled buildings – nobody wants to learn construction techniques. Any vehicles out there are antiques, because no one wants to learn how to make new ones – and socially? We’re stagnating, man. It’s a fucking mess where it’s denser, there’s even slavery out in the badlands. There’s no progress.” He let out a long sigh. Wentworth smoked his cigarette, and the kilometres burned away. “Heh, sorry man. Bit of a rant there. I’m just frustrated because there aren’t many people I can talk to about even the basic stuff I do. They don’t want to hear it and I get lonely <---

None of those yet, just leather jacket, leather chaps, goggles, goatee, facial piercings.

My God your superhuman will and resistance to cuntery is beyond comprehension

[Blair]

Meh, I've read enough middling sci-fi that this is easy ...so far.

EDIT: Although I just grabbed a beer to steel myself for what I'll have to deal with now that the fedora has surfaced in the narrative.

[Blair]

Everyone's job is capitalized like they're fucking Character Classes. Mechanic, Caravan Master.

Holy shit, as I was typing this I glanced down to see "green mohawk".
