What's even funnier is that he sucks so much at business he can't even see how he could make money off of that. Like, horsefeathering sell off unused handles like web domains that are being squatted on. It's still insanely ghoulish and gross, but at least he'd be making a little something back. But no, all that matters is being a dick and trying to please other dicks. The cruelty, yet again, is the only point.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/02/tech ... peech.html

Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, slurs against Black Americans showed up on the social media service an average of 1,282 times a day. After the billionaire became Twitter’s owner, they jumped to 3,876 times a day.

Slurs against gay men appeared on Twitter 2,506 times a day on average before Mr. Musk took over. Afterward, their use rose to 3,964 times a day.

And antisemitic posts referring to Jews or Judaism soared more than 61 percent in the two weeks after Mr. Musk acquired the site.


(Way to suck hard even before Musk took over, Twitter)

NGT is one of the few people to have so dramatically and obliviously torpedoed their goodwill to horsefeathering ashes even remotely close to how Elon has:

Wikipedia says several women made accusations of sexual misconduct against him. Much less significantly but more frequently he's a tedious 'well actually' chore on social media.

And beyond all that, he's totally bought into the Great Man hype BS that people like him and Elon all fall for through a combination of their own ego and the simps that fawn all over them who think life is like a [expletive] comic book. Like, "well, I had success in one area, so surely I must be naturally successful and brilliant in ANY area I put my mind to! I'll say stupid horsefeathering things like 'philosophy doesn't exist,' or I'll horsefeathering fact check school shootings and pal around with Joe Rogan!"

There were some sexual misconduct allegations a while back. If memory serves, there was an unsubstantiated rape claim from the 80s, and a couple instances of him acting kinda creepy that bordered on sexual harassment (I remember there being something about a handshake with too much eye contact, for instance). He denied the rape thing, while confirming the other behavior but offering explanations that basically amounted to him being a nerd who doesn't know how to interact with normal people. Which, as an astrophysicist, I'd rate those explanations as plausible.

Beyond that, I think his pedantic "actually..." tweets nitpicking every [expletive] thing just wore people out.

NGT's biggest issue (other than the harassment charges, obv) is that he's an expert in a very niche, very specific scientific field, but he thinks that makes him an expert in every field. And being condescendingly and dismissively wrong is a bad look, especially when he never admits wrongdoing (aka the Republican playbook).

It's like Musk, but he's not so much a niche expert as he's good at "inheriting money".

Same thing happened in La Crosse, WI when I was in school up there. Those deaths spawned the Smiley Face Killer conspiracy theory and there were a lot of rumors about a cop or cab driver killing them and dumping them in the river when it was a bunch of drunken idiots who were too hammered to not fall in the river in the middle of winter.

I just think the idea of this made up serial killer deciding something, like, "what's one of the most difficult demographics I could target, in ways that would leave me INSANELY exposed to being caught" is hilarious. This is straight up people watching too much horsefeathers like CSI and Criminal Minds.

I’m pretty sure we had the same theories pop up when a couple dudes vanished a decade or so ago in the Hudson.

It's all over the country; like mul said, there's the whole Smile Face Killer conspiracy theory. It's just funny when the people who believe in it say this horsefeathers outloud and have zero self-awareness.

"It's so strange that all of these young mostly white men going to college end up being found in bodies of water after leaving a party or bar! Surely it must be a nationwide serial killer or gang of serial killers and NOTHING ELSE!"
