somebody brought the pain

no child ever watches Shrek and gets the pop-culture joke about Farquaad having a small dick.

or the fact that he’s named “fuckwad”

they’ve never talked about him at all except in the aftermath of the shooting.

i never said he was destitute or self-taught. you need skills to be an os dev. the first few paragraphs there is what i based my post on.

omg walt you can’t just ask people why they’re blue

and richard dawkins

but you are evil?

small gods was right all along

there’s no way for me to answer that

italian moment

the latin word for right is “dexter”, as in “ambidextrous”. the latin word for left is “sinister”. you do the math numerology.

i’m not talking about american pundits.

the media here has never shown any kirk debate, and has only talked about him as a “american right-wing debater/influencer”. personally i was aware of him only as that too, and only saw how heinous his opinions actually were when i googled him after the event. and i, along with most other swedes, have a fairly high regard for our public broadcasting institutions, and since most american internal squabbles don’t influence us until they become external, we don’t really care to dig deeper. i did because i’m active here, but kling probably didn’t.

the guy is an ex-drug abuser. he started doing serenityos as therapy, and serenityos needed a browser. until you get to the modern stuff, it’s basically just a paint-by-numbers api implementation on top of his existing code base.

right, by saying “nobody deserves to die for their opinions”, which is what most tv pundits are saying.

so i’ve talked about that event at length before and i don’t have the time to dig up my old comments right now but the short version is

1. sweden has a weird history with gendered pronouns in that our english language higher education recommended using male pronouns up until very recently, and the language itself just recently got a gender-neutral one which still isn’t in general use.
2. the documentation was rewritten to use second-person pronouns (and a much friendlier tone) shortly after, sidestepping the entire discussion.

paracetamol was synthesized in 1877. use a real argument, like the left-handedness graph.

i will continue to say that kling is just a pretty offline guy, and also very much unaware/uninterested in america. most people around me are saying the same things about the kirk shooting and i would not consider them even close to what americans would probably call “centrists”, but here is called “right-wingers”. people here had just never heard of him or any of his opinions before last week.

kilng strikes me as a man who has never had politics happen to him before he started working in open source, and he is being treated like he shares american values and american cultural knowledge just because he speaks english online.

i don’t agree with his stances at all, but it’s the norm where he and i live. “åsiktskorridoren” was a political punching bag for a reason.
