2018-12-23 at 12:29 PM UTC in Who you think you'd get on with best irl out of hydro and §m£ÂgØL?There is no "objectively good lifestyle" from which one must diverge to have not made "good choices", and if there was it almost certainly wouldn't be §m£ÂgØL's. So it's grating when he acts like it there is, and it is, and he's got it objectively right and his standards are universal. 🤗

Originally posted by Loing Lanny doesn't really talk about his success or other people's shitty decision making regarding their life and career. As you just said, your issue seems to be with G's judgment of those less successful than himself.
My question is, why do you find that judgment so grating? It doesn't seem inherently bad, specially if it's well founded.
My speculation would be that it is because you make stupid lifestyle choices and don't like people who call you on it because they want a better reason than "I'm doing what I want", which isn't even true.
This is a reasonable assumption, until you realize that it's based around that idea that §m£ÂgØL's grounds for "calling people out" reflect some kind of objective assessment of what a "stupid lifestyle choice" is. -

Originally posted by Lanny So what's the reasonable interpretation of throwing someone out of a car on a freeway while allegedly intoxicated or dealing with drug addiction? If a drunk person drives and gets into a collision they may have had a diminished capacity to drive and couldn't have avoided it since they were drunk, but they're still responsible for putting themselves in that situation in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really disagree. I believe that people are responsible for ALL of their actions. There's honestly a pretty specific reason for my position on this which relates to my own experiences in court, but like, suffice it to say: while they might be responsible for making themselves that way, that doesn't mean people who took drugs understood that they'd end up with that frame of mind. Which fundamentally changes the nature of the offence: it's the difference between murder and manslaughter, or criminal negligence. Ya dig? It was negligent of them to take drugs in the first place, sure, but their baseline frame of mind likely differs substantially from the way they'd be thinking on drugs. That's kinda the point of drugs, even?
I dunno. Ignore me. -
2018-12-23 at 11:06 AM UTC in Who you think you'd get on with best irl out of hydro and §m£ÂgØL?Essentially: people would think I was a cringey asshole if I posted about every "wise" thought that popped into my head, and for the same reason I think §m£ÂgØL is a cringey asshole. 🤔

Originally posted by Loing I actually agree with your assessment of §m£ÂgØL.
That is because I am oh so sagacious. Seriously, if people don't agree with my assessment of §m£ÂgØL... they should.
Originally posted by Loing But the only reason you see it as grating and prideful is because you're a NEET and have resigned yourself to a life of dependence. Anyone talking about doing well in their career itself, making good money etc would appear prideful to you.
I don't know that that's true. I mean, I will acknowledge that NEETs are prone to a certain level of bias in these matters, but consider: I don't find Lanny distasteful. He's a successful programmer with a successful career, and has made as much known to me through his posts here. Lanny, however, has never implicitly made clear that he thinks poorly of people who have not achieved the same level of success that he has. §m£ÂgØL has. Perhaps accidentally, on account of the inexperience I previously mentioned.
§m£ÂgØL publicizes every stereotypical mile marker of progress that he passes. Trying to learn a new language, trying to learn a programming language, trying to broaden his experience through travel... there is a distinct pattern with §m£ÂgØL. -

Originally posted by Loing He's just proud of the progress he's made, chill.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate him for this or anything. I've talked to §m£ÂgØL like 1000x the amount I've talked to hydro. I wouldn't say we're necessarily friends, but I'd like to think so, and I'd like to think I know him better than I do most of my acquaintances from here and also more than most of them know him.
That said...
Pride is one of the deadly sins for precisely this reason. I'm gonna go out on an extreme limb here about pride and its expression: I feel like the problem here is that either expressing pride - or the sensation of pride itself - is new to §m£ÂgØL. What I mean is that §m£ÂgØL does not know how to be proud without appearing prideful. Essentially, he is too inexperienced with Pride to express the emotion in a way that is unlikely to attract some degree of scorn. In real life this may not be true, but online pride is clearly prone to becoming a sticking point in his relationships. *shrug* -

2018-12-23 at 9:18 AM UTC in SF nigger mayor wants her killer nigger brother releasedHonestly? I'm kinda down with it. The courts need to have a more reasonable interpretation of events that took place while intoxicated or dealing with drug addiction. Addiction is - more or less - just self-inflicted diminished capacity.

She seems infinitely less judgmental and shitty. §m£ÂgØL seems like the type of dude to brag about his income. Not the kinda person I'd enjoy spending time with.
