Technology doesn't work that way - SamuelA's Pit Thread

I think we are done exchanging talking points with an idiot that lies about hiring $500 whores on a $80,000 salary in a pitiful attempt to impress people.

Wait. I lied about that? Lol. So either I lied about that or I am stupid enough to pay more than I can afford to get some. Which is it?

You are a stupid liar-I believe that covers both bases(and your posting history here) to a T.

I believe him. It’s really gross, but believable.

Since yesterday, the back and forth reminds me of an old joke I once heard about lawyers. I’ll paraphrase…

“How do you know SamuelA is lying?” He posts.

I know, it’s not as good as meatloaf, but it is applicable.

I find this amusing. It’s sort of a psych test. You want the worst possibility to be true :slight_smile:

Say for the sake of argument I haven’t lied about anything. How does that change anything? You still would hate my guts and think I am a dirtbag, right?

Is this an admission of guilt?

Yes. You are an ill-informed, over-opinionated, bloviating, self-aggrandizing racist. Is that enough?

I’d like to ask you something. Once, you indicated you “obviously read a lot.” How are you able to read and comprehend so many technical publications and concepts, across a variety of the arts and sciences, while you’re working full time, and banging prostitutes every other day?

And where do you build a logical foundation for accusing me of ‘siding with the enemy’ while you’ve admitted to supporting human trafficking and organized crime?

I waited five minutes before I hit “reply,” and yep… I still consider you a lying, spineless whelp.

A Public high Diploma does not grant you a “PhD.”

You’re stupid for paying that much to get a piece of ass.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think the dude is lying. I believe he has a totally unexceptional job that he only got with a boost from Daddy. I believe he is a low level software drone working for a company I’ve probably heard of. I believe that his greatest professional aspiration is to be a low level software drone for Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix or Facebook. That boy’s a real cog in the machine.

And I believe that he pays the skankiest most disease-riddled whores he can find $500 for a wet dick and a dose of clap. Because his requirements pretty much assure that he’s going to be fucking the slime at the bottom of the whore barrel.

What I do have trouble believing is that he’s PROUD of this life. He brags about it. He’s PROUD to be who he is. To me, that is more implausible than building a chairlift to the top of Mount Everest.

Ignoring, for a moment, that you seem to be a creep, let’s note the math that running coach did.

If you’re paying $1000 per month to live, spending $70k per year on hookers, and still have to pay taxes, then you need $105k per year. But, if you are able to get to that point - which is a fair climb from 80k - then you have zilch for retirement and you’re just going to be living on government rations for the last 40 years of your life.

I would suggest that there are more important things in life than figuring out how to orgasm, let alone spending 83% of your take-home on it. And, particularly, if you can orgasm for free. Left hand or right hand, they both work just fine and they are free. There is no actual thing as blue balls - some magical disease that can only be cured by having sex with another human being. It’s not real. No other human is necessary for you to keep your balls from falling off; it can all be solved in a few minutes with no external aid.

You should pay attention to reality.

I don’t know how old you are, but there was a commercial that became a big joke when I was young, for a product called LifeCall. There would be some elderly person on the ground yelling, “Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” The solution, a wearable device that allowed them to call for help.

There’s no real reason for that to be funny, and I don’t believe that it was intended to be funny. But scary things are either scary or funny, and I think a lot of people recognized how scary it would be, to be in that situation. If you’re all alone and no one loves you or cares whether you continue to exist for one more day, and you fall and break your hip in the bathroom, well you’re just going to lie there for hours and maybe days, in pain and helpless. Maybe you’ll be saved, maybe you’ll die, but you’ll certainly regret that you are living the life of someone who is completely unloved.

As you age, every single time you get sick and you have to take care of yourself - buying food, cooking food, whatever else - you’re going to realize that this is all going to become a lot harder as you become elderly. You might not be able to do it. You’ll lie in bed with a fever, getting more sick the weaker you get from lack of food, and that just keeps snowballing until you die and begin to rot.

But a key to having people like you is having empathy. And, I mean, maybe humanity was awful to you. Maybe you were damaged in some way where you no longer give any fucks and, if the hot girl you’re banging for $500 is just reliving her dad raping her every day for years and years and you’re just one more client towards her breaking and killing herself, well that doesn’t really matter because fuck the world and fuck humanity.

Maybe that doesn’t describe you, but you’re clearly fucked up in some way and, victim or plain off asshole from birth be as it may, you need to get over that and get past being a 12 year old.

If you have a hero in life, is your hero someone who saved people or someone who was one step away from robbing a liquor store if he thought it would give him ten minutes banging Taylor Swift? (If the latter, then you should just check yourself into a psychiatric hospital and say that you suffer from massive depression or something.) But, my hope would be that it’s the former. You like it when the cops catch the killers, the rebel climate scientists invent a more interesting way to deal with climate change and save the world, or whatever it might be.

You’re vastly far away from being that person, and I don’t just mean in terms of profession.

Getting your dick wet stops being a guiding mission in life pretty early into puberty. Your personal life goal is like seeing someone with a giant mission to moon every vending machine in the continental United States. You’re basically a moron. And, suffice it to say, “moron” is not a descriptor for someone who is likely to succeed at his goal. You might, it is true, but then you’re still just that moron who worked really hard and got lucky enough…to be able to moon every vending machine in the continental United States. And now you’re broke and alone and no likes you, and you’re probably going to die on the floor of your bathroom because no one gives a fuck about your existence.

And to the extent that they do care, it’s because they’ll be happy that that one creep who kept using them like a mindless puppet finally died, alone and pitiful.

If you weren’t born an asshole, then it is likely that your lack of self-worth is probably a matter that people simply used you and abused you. You should be the first one to understand what a fucking reprobate it would be to turn around and be that way to others.

You might be a physically ugly bastard. There’s a limit to what can be done about that. But you could get happiness from making the world a better place or a worse one. If your preference is the latter, you really need to think about that and figure out how to get on the other path. You’re doing no good to yourself nor anyone else with the path that you’re on.

Ann, thank you, because I fully agree with you. I take it a step further, and believe that he knows he’s a cog in whatever machine he’s in, and he’s festering in it. The only satisfaction he gets is to puff his chest out and make himself appear grander than he is, and he has to do this through the Internet; his real world personality and habits hold him back from actually achieving anything. His refusal to adapt his ways keep him in a spiral, and it’s his active choice to refuse to change that make me consider him useless. His outward lashing just make him a raging asshole.

That’s my read.

I strenuously disagree with this stigmatizing, patronizing attitude toward sex workers.

So, apparently you’re not bright enough or perceptive enough to find the obvious lies in #958 or the other ones I pointed out in #960. Let me summarize just a few for starters:

In #958:
[ul]
[li]You pretended to be surprised that in the IPCC WG3 report “there are exhaustive discussions of climate mitigation methods. All over the fucking place.” Implying that I had said otherwise. Which of course I did not, since the report is called “Mitigation of Climate Change”, so any normal person would expect that it would contain discussions about methods of mitigating climate change! ** LIAR!**[/li][/ul]

[ul]
[li]You claimed that climate engineering “fixes” were "deliberately left out as to avoid misleading policymakers that climate change has a “quick fix”. In fact solar radiation management and carbon sequestration are both discussed, but SRM was discussed basically only dismiss it as a bad idea that at best needs a lot more research before it can be seriously considered, which is all it deserved. LIAR![/li][/ul]

From my comments in #960:
[ul]
[li]You denied that you ever said climate engineering is “certain to happen”. I showed where you said exactly that. LIAR![/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]You claimed (without even seeing the report) that the IPCC approach to mitigation is to “do nothing”. ** LIAR!**[/li][/ul]

Listen you lying self-aggrandizing piece of shit, I’ve been posting extensively about climate change on this board since I joined five and a half years ago, mostly in the earlier years when there were some climate change deniers around who needed to be refuted. You know how much time I’m going to spend trying to impress you with what I know about climate science? Just guess. But all my posts are on record and you can go and dig them out and read them, or not, and reach your own conclusions, or not. I cannot even begin to express the total lack of fucks I give about what you think.

And your lack of embarrassment at citing Freakonomics probably means that you didn’t see this. Short version: virtually everything in it about climate change is wrong. It’s just the sort of sensationalist counterfactual bullshit that would appeal to a pretentious ignoramus like yourself who thinks he could use it to impress people.

Retirement??? He’s going to be decapitated and have his head frozen so future generations can have access to his amazing brain . . . served with a fine Chianti.

CMC fnord!

I’m not stigmatizing or patronizing sex workers.

But if he is in the states, and having sex with Eastern European prostitutes, they are probably trafficked, which is horribly, horribly wrong.

Also, paying $4000 a month to get laid is pretty steep, especially when you only get paid a gross of around $5000 a month.

For that much, I expect the whole ass.

That didn’t come out right, did it?

The last part I completely agree about.

Anecdotal, but I frequently drive Eastern Europeans home from their work at the strip club, and they do not come across as “trafficked”, despite being off the clock and with no “minders” around.

They are, presumably, in the country illegally so they have no particular police protection if a client is abusive with them or forces them to do something that they don’t want. Voluntary or not, it’s not a good profession in terms of mental health nor safety. Nearly all prostitutes, whether they started as runaways who got picked up by a pimp slinging drugs or voluntarily entered the profession, end up with PTSD.

For me, the other issue is that if you’re a young man and you’re starting out in the world, you have to find work that is fundamentally about the work. If you’re a young woman and you’re at least average looking, you can basically rack up some good money so long as you’re willing to take your clothes off and lie down.

In terms of your introduction to the world of adults, I feel like that’s gotta screw up your career trajectory. It’s like the poverty trap where you hit a certain income line and suddenly lose all of the government benefits and you’re worse off than you had been before.

Encountering that sort of situation, when you’re young and your view of the world is being developed, it has to mess with you. Why bother getting a good paying job and working hard? Just find some dude who has some money, spread your legs, and spend the rest of your life playing video games.

It’s basically teaching people to be predators and psychopaths; it’s taking people out of the economy who would, otherwise, have been strong contributors; and it’s convincing a good percentage of our daughters that they’re more valuable as meat with a lubricated entryway than as human beings with a brain and the ability to say “no”.

Something doesn’t have to be forced to be bad for everyone involved.

Your cite is already rebutted (one might even say prebutted) by the Freakonomics cite.

ETA: Sage Rat, your criticisms apply to many, maybe most, jobs in a capitalist society. I think the stigma here is fundamentally puritanical.
