Today, another little treasure from the trash pile — that is, a comment someone left here but that I decided not to let through but which I have since decided might be worth sharing with the world.
This particular commenter — an excitable Man Going His Own Way reacting to my post Women are overpriced vagina buses that won’t let you ride them — has a bit of a fixation on a certain word that starts with “C,” which he managed to use 14 times in his tl;dr rant.
I’ve taken the liberty of cutting out boring stuff, breaking up his wall of text into paragraphs, and highlighting some of my favorite bits. And, in the interest of making the world a slightly nicer place, I’ve replaced each instance of the word “cunt” with “bundt cake.” Who doesn’t like cake?
Let’s see what Poltergeist1981 has to say, shall we?
Wow – look at all the bundt cake-hurt on this comment section! Nothing but baseless statements, Strawmen, and a myriad of other logical fallacies combined with emotional trauma. Not amazed or surprised through, bundt cakes hate it when you call them out on their bundt cake bullshit, especially if they are biased feminazi bundt cakes. …
Damn. I’m hungry already.
What are the feminists doing now? Complaining about how men sit? Man Spreading they call it? Give me a fucking break you bundt cakes – we have something in between our legs that makes it uncomfortable to sit like you do! It’s too bad you can’t grow a cock and pair of balls to understand that, but none the less what a pathetic fucking group it has become.
Ah, manspreading. If what I’ve seen is any indication, the overwhelming majority of the talk about “manspreading” has come from men who are absolutely furious that anyone could possibly suggest that maybe they shouldn’t take up more than one seat on a crowded subway. With all the talk about the possible harm to their allegedly HUGE BALLS, it’s almost as though they’re afraid of some sort of symbolic castration.
Angry dudes: some people with cocks and balls as big as yours manage do this on a regular basis — in part to avoid getting harassed or worse by transphobes — so quit your bellyaching about having to keep your legs together for a few minutes on the subway.
Feminists need to fuck off about the first world – you have more than your fair share of human rights (way more than men now) – and need to start focusing on the middle east where they still force bundt cakes to wear burkas or however / whatever you call them.
Spoken like a real expert on gender in the Middle East. Are you by chance Richard Dawkins?
Do they really focus on that though? No – they focus on bullshit like man-spreading. You want to know why? Because first world bundt cakes are superficial – idiotic – and are only good for what is between their legs, and half of you aren’t even good for that now – fucking STD infected land whales.
Uh, if these “land whales” aren’t even “good for” sex now, how is it that so many of them (at least in your imagination) have managed to get Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
Put the fork fucking down and close your fucking legs.
I would say “or” rather than “and” here. Nothing wrong with forks, or with sex, but combining the two may not be the best idea. You could put an eye out.
[A]ll you bundt cake are so extremely superficial, fucked up, nasty, no morals, can’t fucking cook, can’t fucking clean, just overall good for nothing, and you’re only good for sex assuming your bundt cake is clean and you’re not a fucking whale.
True, a clean bundt cake is preferable to a dirty one.
[I]t’s not that we can’t get laid – it’s because we just don’t want it from you anymore – it’s not worth our trouble.
I get more enjoyment from fucking a fleshlight to my favorite porn now than going through the trouble of being with some boring good for nothing / nasty / etc bundt cake to then eventually bust a nut with.
That poor, poor Fleshlight.
Also why would I or any of us want to have a “deep / intimate / close” relationship with you? You are not interesting, fun, uplifting, or anything what women USED to be back during the days where traditional conservative women were the norm.
I’m sure women who were systematically denied education were much more interesting conversationalists.
You say that “patriarchy” forced them to be that way when really, they simply just had more class than you.
Uh, that’s not how things work.
Myself? 32 yrs old, Never married – 0 kids – make over 100k / year doing java programming, 0 STDs, Great body work out every day, Near perfect credit, awesome house, Ferrari (not an expensive one a modest one I got for a great price :D), and a PC master race gaming habit i’ll never leave.
Gosh, an angry MGTOW who’s a computer programmer and gaming enthusiast who thinks it’s hilarious to refer to himself as part of the “master race.” Way to dismantle the stereotypes, dude!
I love my life. Why should I fuck it up with marriage.
I’ll agree with you on this one. Do not fuck up your life — or, more to the point, anyone else’s — by getting married
I look at things like an economic transaction when it comes to women.
Boy, there’s a shock.
When you consider myself – the value I have will continue to grow as I get older – i’ll continue you make more and more money, and increase my market value.
Now take a woman – when it comes to most of you the only thing you’re really only good for is what is between your legs and your looks. That is what I consider a depreciating asset since eventually your looks will fade. Why should I have to MARRY you? No what I will do though – I will lease you. When our contract is up – I’ll replace you with a newer model.
Wait, weren’t you just declaring that women are worthless, and singing the praises of your Fleshlight? And now you’re bragging about “leasing” young hotties with your Java money? Money that could be spent on Steam, or on a replacement Fleshlight? You’re going your own way SO HARD that you brag about bribing women into having sex with you?
You ask who will take care of me when I get sick? My new model or you if you have not depreciated enough to be replaced at such a time. I will ALWAYS have a replacement..
Yes, keep telling yourself that.
Now if I found a woman that actually has many values / morals / etc that is worth keeping around – EVEN THEN – I would still not marry her. Why? Because a woman like that probably ALREADY has a job that pays really well, she can take care of herself, she does not need my money – she would be seeing me because we have mutual interests and SHE IS INTERESTING and not superficial –
I shudder at the thought of a women who has “mutual interests” with you, given that your main interest seems to be calling women “cunts” on the internet.
BUT SHE HAS ALL THIS MONEY??!?! So why should I risk losing HALF OF MY SHIT to a woman who is making as much IF NOT MORE money as myself? Where is the logic in that shit?
We don’t care if you don’t marry. I’d much prefer you didn’t.
Honestly until the laws that fuck guys financially GO AWAY from drivoces go the way of the dinosaur – MGTOW 4 fucking life. Fuck that shit.
And now we’ve reached the part of the rant in which the ranter descends into gibbering incoherence.
I would like to ask some of you bundt cakes. Is your pussy worth my life? Is it? I seriously fucking doubt it – and to the those who say Yes – it is – fuck off and die – you are what is wrong with the world and women today mmmkaY? kkthxbai
MGTOW 4 life, bundt cakes.
Bundt cake for life, MGTOWs!
I know only the very basics of Java and c++, but I teach programming (along with game design and basic computer literacy) to lower and middle school kids. We use code.org where you write code by ‘drag and drop blocks’. It’s pretty fun 🙂
@Moocow
Is code.org good for teaching kids around the age of 6? I have a younger brother who is always wanting me to teach him how to make games when I visit. I was thinking of buying some of those tech related toys, but he doesn’t like physical toys so much. Are there any that are games that you “program” that a 6 year old can easily get into, do you know?
@Lam
Absolutely! Check out “code academy” on their website, they have some sections geared towards 6-7 year olds.
For games that you program, there’s a great website that I use to teach: scratch.mit.edu
It uses the same drag n drop method but it’s much more suited for making games (it is a bit more complex than code.org though). In addition to coding your own games, you can also play other people’s games, look at their source code and even modify it to create your own version (or as they call, ‘remix’). Some people have done some pretty intense stuff!
I’ve just realized that ‘teal deer’ is an expansion of ‘tl;dr’, and not a reference to some past commenter or noodle incident.
I feel like a bit of a doofus now.
If you haven’t tried it, Manufactoria is a fantastic game for teaching you how to properly think through coding problems. Nothing in it will directly teach you to program, but it’ll definitely help you develop the right disciplines. Perhaps most importantly, it helps you to learn to think in loops while making you feel smart for doing it.
http://pleasingfungus.com/Manufactoria/
It’s a combination of a Turing Machine and a conveyor-belt placing game, and has a very gentle difficulty and complexity slope. I would recommend it nightly.
Wow, great pointers, thanks! My nephew recently saw me play SpaceChem, and I showed him the ropes. It’s a bit too difficult for him, however, after the second or third planet it becomes too complex. I’ll try code.org and the others. Will also help me get a bit into (extremely amateurish) programming again. Thanks!
@Moocow, EJ
Oops, got distracted. Wow! Thanks so much for these great suggestions. I’m checking these out in the morning. It’s so great to see kids excited about tech 😀
I am sorry for being late for the party again! I got a job a couple weeks ago and I am still trying to find the time to do the things I enjoy on week days (being unemployed does have its advantages. I actually had time for stuff). Anyway, is there any bundt cake left?
As for this article, well that Poltergeist1981 fellow is a lovely piece of work, isn’t he? It is amazing how someone thinks they could write the C word no less than 14 times in one incoherent rant and still expect to be taken seriously. Still, replacing it with bundt cakes does make it hilarious! Another thing I find hilarious is how Paulie thinks that getting divorced 3 times makes him an expert in marriage and women. LOL! Sorry dude, that doesn’t make you an expert, it means that you are the opposite. And for the record, if you get divorced 3 times, chances are that YOU are the problem. No one gets divorced 3 times out of simply being unlucky in love. Perhaps it is time that you took a good long look at yourself and you life choices, hmmm?
macomeau-“There’s really only one response to MGOTWs who are still not going their own way.”
Yeah. I wish the would just go their own way already. *sighs*
Minecraft, that’s the way to get kids into programming, My two, who are 6&9 now understand gates and relays because of redstone. Add in a plug-in architecture ‘cos if mods, they are now keen to create their own mods. Funnily enough it’s in Java too. Now that MS/Mojang are hand-in-hand we may see an improved simplified api.
I think the in the original post we saw a rant that boils down to “I’m special because I’m an entitled misogynist” followed by “I’m special because I’m a Java programmer” in the context if that screed it made polter-microcock-1981 look even more shallow and foolish.
The scariest thing about these guys like Paul Elam is the followers they attract. People like Elam remind me of Charles Manson. I think they are just waiting until one of their followers turns out to be another Mark Lepine of The Montreal Massacre in Canada. I get the sense Elam, Zen Gerard and others would be quite pleased with themselves if something like that were to happen.
@pandapool:
I’d give you a link to my page (actually it’s on my username) but apparently the Amazon EC2 instance has been down for 15 days and is currently failing to usefully come back up. Though the last part could be our crappy internet connection.
Two things I’m working on right now – first one has a blind protagonist, you can’t see anything, only where you touch things; so you’ve got to feel your way around and escape from a dungeon. Creepy.
Second is a story engine – you know how games sometimes have several possible story branches to different endings? I’d like to make every action you take (or don’t) have an impact on the way things go. I’m sure I can do it to. Made a prototype in python that did some of it, now working on a C++ version so I can actually integrate it into games.
Raspberry Pis are great for kids. Son (11) likes to program Minecraft with Python and can set up all sorts of external devices with breadboards etc to make things happen in game. Great stuff!
The makers of SpaceChem are now working on another programming game, TIS-100, this time unapologetically using a minimal assembly language. It’s still in Steam Early Access, but my first impression is that the language is a distraction and it’s really trying to teach people about running things in parallel.
@Newt
Yeah, I’ve seen that and dabbled around a bit, but haven’t yet found the time to really dig into it. But I’m already liking the oldtimey computer sounds and the xeroxed-looking pdf you have to read for the programming language.
I’m buying everything Zachtronics make blindly. Infinifactory is also great!
i’d forgotten this one
Lady Java.
Oh, I can just hear the orgasmic moans from the manuresphere already. Followed by a loud, vociferous and unconvincing round of damage control.
Well fuck, it turns out I did miss the Steven Universe conversation after all.
Now it’s all about programming and I got nothing. Oh well.
I think what delights me the most about Steven Universe right now is Garnet’s big old grin in the new intro. She was so stoic before, it really seems like she’s loosened up since she kicked Jasper’s butt.
@Falconer
At first I read it as stoic, but the more I watched, the more I started to read it as an “I know something you don’t know” expression. New episodes July 13!
Well, yeah, they all know more than Steven does. Pearl’s absolutely indignant when she finds out she doesn’t know all of Rose’s secrets.
I hope they manage to find and rescue Lapis.
He’s so totally a Staff Chick. The only part of his powers that I have pegged for being “totally a boy thing” is his healing spit.
@lith
:OOOOOOOOO
I’ve actually seen several games that involve blind protags. There’s Beyond Eyes, Dark Echos, Perception–that sort of thing.
What would be cooler if these games could be played by blind people. (Hint, hint, needs good sound design and stuff.)
And, yes, your story engine sounds awesome! If there’s one thing games needs is something to help them have more impactful choices. 😀
Having played a lot of horror games since I lost my vision, I can concur that sound design is everything. The rotten, raspy noise the Regenerators from RE4 make still makes me shit my pants (in a good way) every time.
The sound of chainsaws has never been the same since I played that game.
I really like the new intro, even though I liked the old theme music more (it was simpler and more chiptuney, less thumping anime) – it’s got Garnet’s awesome grin, Connie has an absurdly oversized FFVII style sword, she joins them on the beach, Steven is in the vocals now as a crystal gem, and at the end it’s them sitting down with him, making it less like he’s *trying* to be one of the gems and more that is definitely is one.
And hah, yeah, one of the first things that struck me was that the whole team was basically gender swapped from a “stereotypical” rpg or anime team, where the solitary woman on the team would have all the support and defensive and recovery magics.
It actually makes me think of Earthbound, how Paula had all the awesome attack magic while Ness had the best healing magic.
@SFHC
Having highly contrasting game menus and a simple inventory would probably help a lot, too, yeah? And voice overs so people know what they’re highlighting in the menu (which can be turned off for people with better sight).
