not because of the weird sex stuff, though. it’s because Twitter no longer shows any tweets to logged out users at all and everybody is confessing that they use twitter

i have never had a twitter account and only ever interact with it from links in sa threads. embeds work for me though and almost always have (there was a period where they were spotty for everyone, but that was like half a year ago i'd guess)

at this point i'm wondering how much of the sv ea/agi sexual "culture" grows from one particular woman's rape fetish. as has been noted, rich, terrible dudes have been abusing people forever, but a sex-positive, socially connected data engineer whose personal predilections perfectly accommodate the power fantasies of influential and awful tech people is a potent combination.

(also she does suck poo poo herself.)

i didn't even read it like that, i read it as her doing the typical awkward nerd at a party thing of "i'm just gonna sit in the corner and not make any effort to talk to anyone and nurse a beer all night, boy this party sure sucks!!" but at a goddamn orgy, after not showering for two weeks

between this and all the steps it took to get to gently caress her at that gangbang i now think she just wants sexual partners who will do all the emotional and physical work for her so that she doesn't have to actually interact with other people in any way other than taking their dick

You're saying that Aella single-handed created that scene? I don't know anything about her or it but that seems a bit unlikely?

San Francisco had all kinds of hanky panky going on before becoming the mecca of the sexual revolution and gay mecca in general, then absorbing wave after wave of neurodivergent enginerds until there was literally no room left.

More recently, this lady was still in highschool when you could still go into any decently sized west coast counterculture and find some den of nerds having orgies in accordance with a bunch of books they read and stuff from the internet.... and by the way they wanna talk about it.. a lot.

Prominent hacker scene people had fisting demonstrations and lectures back in the 90s... she didn't make any of that.

the whole "consensual non-consensual" thing apparently wasn't her idea originally, however it does seem to be a relatively recent practice and there isn't a ton of info about where or how it started. most of the information i was able to find via a google was from around 2021 onwards (mostly 2022—), though that's not really proof of anything either, because google sucks and probably prioritizes recent poo poo over relevancy

it's fair to say she may have introduced or popularized the concept within the SV crowd, though, since she seems to run in those circles. but i don't know if that's true, i doubt raminasi does either, and it'd be difficult to prove regardless. i suppose someone with a x or substack account could ask her though, she seems pretty open to talking about this kind of poo poo

e: admittedly i didn't really do a deep dive into this because a. i have a hell of a headache atm and b. you could easily wind up finding some sick poo poo with those keywords, and i've had a mostly pleasant sunday morning so far, lol

oh i meant the specific way that group sex with dubious-at-best consent practices appears to be used as ea/agi social gatekeeping. when sonia joseph writes about "the" cnc parties, as though this were a distinct, known social phenomenon, and aella writes how she wanted them to exist so she created them, i just see a space for a connection. i'm probably overthinking it though.

oh cnc has been around for decades if not centuries. but what piqued my morbid interest was that "cnc, but at a party full of strangers" sounds like a contradiction in terms, because doing cnc ethically requires a mountain of negotiation and empathy that seems fundamentally incompatible with chaos and strangers. (and that's before you add the lsd!)

i fully agree with this:

idk if any of you are following the sonos thing but it's getting very stupid and myself and a lot of people are very pissed off
  • 2 weeks ago they released a new version of the control app that is a usability nightmare and was missing core functionality
  • their response was to tell people to use the desktop client to do this stuff
  • this week they updated the desktop client and it's now literally impossible for most people to actually access their local music library [ie the reason they bought this poo poo in the first place]
  • the ceo has been talking about how launching this garbage requires "bravery" and promised missing features would return "in mid-June"
  • there's no official response to the poo poo just not working for a week
best anyone can tell they're releasing some new headphones soon so they lit their entire tech stack on fire for hundreds of thousands of customers for those to hit a launch date

I'm dealing with all this today at home. our sonos speakers stopped connecting to my windows (on-pc, not external store) itunes library and i was finally getting around to trying to fix it. cannot believe these loving idiots removed such core functionality (I just discovered this shitshow today). i even tried some suggested workarounds treating the path as a share and no dice.

i'm not buying another sonos product again ever

aella is a conventionally attractive sex worker who figured out of she uses tech terms and writes a blog with spreadsheets then rich square tech bros will eat it up and probably engage her services. it’s a great hustle but she’s never really been part of any of the local “scenes” as far as I’m aware of

ok this is like the social psychology version of a car crash to me and i find the idea baffling so i poked around and lo and behold that EA piece of work who created the diagram that spawned those "came in fluffer" jokes wrote up how she does them. in retrospect, of course she'd be intimately involved with this poo poo.

quote:

Before the event we ask receivers to write down any deviance from the default risk - if, for example, you do in fact want to avoid contact with people with fully medicated HIV, you put this down in a form that people are required to read before interacting with you. Ignoring someone’s expressed preferences around STI risk is considered a serious violation and would result in expulsion from the event.
