you watch a few minutes, and you watched it all. Nothing noteworthy. Just a threat to shoot up a sorority, and how it's everyone's fault for either not giving him sex, or getting sex while he doesn't and so they deserve to die. Then repeat that for the whole video.

I don't get why people brag about crimes on Twitter and Facebook. It just seems like a really bad idea altogether. (The pic at the top of the timeline is him in bed with the victim.)

So, sort of like how DID (AKA Multiple Personality Disorder, even though that's pretty much agreed by experts to be a misnomer) has been coming under fire relatively recently over whether it's a real disorder, or just a branch/mix of an already existing one(s)? I admittedly only have a limited ("tail-end of Intro to Psych" limited) knowledge of the issue, but the quick bit of research I had to do for it gave me a similar impression: probably has at least a grain of truth to it, but internet personalities who claim to have it tend to get wildly defensive, even if though their perception of the symptoms of DID tend to be the pop culture version of it, and not the actual, clinically diagnosed version.

Fibromyalgia is most likely an umbrella diagnosis which covers a certain set of symptoms and can be triggered by emotional states and stress, among other things. I was diagnosed by my rheumatologist in 1994, before anyone had heard of it. "It doesn't exist" gets really frustrating to hear after a while.

You'll know it when you see it. In summary, this guy basically is fed up with the college sluts who refuse to give him the time of day, and the jocks who try to gently caress up his life, so he grabs a handgun, walks into a sorority and opens fire.

Here's his last video on his youtube channel where he just summarizes his plan and why he's going to go shooting blonde sluts.

In theory this is like the ultimate form of beta. What happens when a beta orbiter has that illusion that's been thrown over his face ripped away without the sense of anyone else to help explain, core principles, and why AWALT.

I'm kind of wondering if this could have been avoided, had he had someone near him to talk to him about this kind of thing. Looking on his channel, he's kind of a weird gently caress, but people on other websites, such as liveleak, say that allot of his other videos have been removed, possible that he took them down himself right before the shooting spree.

Thoughts anyone?

quote:
This guy is the epitome of 1st World Problems, 22 yo kid crying about his loneliness from his big rear end BMW daddy bought him. And god drat, looked through his videos. This guy is more boring than watching a girl's bush grow.

He bought into some fantasy world, wanted it to fall into his lap, pussy didn't even give him a participation award like school did for showing up, and he got ticked off. Instead of a car, if his dad got him some hookers every birthday, he might not have ended up like this

quote:
I disagree. I think unfulfilled desire in a world where sex is being constantly pushed in our faces (especially in Santa Barbara) is consistently a motivator behind mass killing. We should acknowledge that and pay attention to it.

quote:
I agree, that's a serious problem with over-sexualized society. Everyone wants it, women constantly flaunt it. Leads to men going for women more, those that didn't catch on "how" to do it, if they don't learn, spiral into some heavy emotions and sexual frustration. If a dude like Elliot is mentally ill to begin with, it leads to serious poo poo.

quote:
he took steps to improve himself, he joined puahate.com instead of a pro pua site.

He thought that by being himself and being nice and a decent person he could get though life. Sadly his father didn't prepare him for male and rich hate.

Its a 100% his fault and he is a bad person, but his death was caused by cyber bulling , for him being rich, male and more white than black.

Of course they need help. These things happen because we demonize the mentally ill and treat them like criminals. This kid needed psychological help and instead he got a group of people who egged him on to violence. That's what loving happened here, not some sort of intersection of male privilege and gun-ownership.

the intersection of male privilege and gun-ownership were really actually incredibly necessary to the basis of his delusions ("im a man therefore women exist for my penis") and his actions (shooting people with a gun)

From what I understand about anti pua sites like that, they are just as misogynistic as the actual pua sites. These are even angrier guys who bought in (sometimes literally) to the pua bullshit and got nothing out of it. Seriously, check out their forums. There is no revelation, no self awareness, just a lot of 'Bitches still won't touch my dick and pua is a rip off'.

Very annoyingly, it seems that a lot of people lump lupus in with this. I have lupus (yes, House, it was actual physician-diagnosed lupus, haw haw) and from what I can tell the general public impression is that's just another name for fibromyalgia. I even had a semi-drunk husband of a friend tell me, very kindly and gently, that he's heard that lupus and Morgellon's and all that imaginary stuff just goes away with a good SSRI, I should try it.

Huh. Didn't know that people thought lupus was fake. I mean, my stepmom claimed she had it when she pretty obviously didn't, but she's a crazy person who claimed she had a whole host of all kinds of other ailments that she never showed symptoms of.

But my sewing teacher had it and had to cancel classes every now and then because of it. I'm pretty drat sure she wasn't faking it and the only reason I know that she had it was because my mom mentioned it, not because the teacher ever mentioned it to us. She did generally act a bit tired the week before she canceled classes, now that I think about it. And she did have the butterfly face thing a couple of times. This was around 20 years ago, so I don't remember much about it. Just that I was horribly confused when my step-mom said she had it when I had actually known someone who had it. My step-mom also somehow seemed to forget she had it after mentioning it a couple of times.

Thank god the internet wasn't in use like it is now, or else she probably would have told my dad I'm autistic or something.

Fibromyalgia. I worked with someone who "had" it, and they were bullshitting like mad. Anxiety is just the most common, not really easy to fake. I mean, I've seen people try to fake it, but it was never convincing. People tend to oversell pain and suck at faking emotions, really.



IIRC the girl on Intervention who was constantly sucking on Fentanyl lollipops claimed to have it (Fibromyalgia), and holy gently caress she was unconvincing.

Would you in this situation claim that the gun is good, because it gets to fire its seed? While the penis is evil, because it controls men's minds?

Well, he's libertarian, so he was probably against the auto bailout/loan thing, and maybe he calls GM Government Motors as a slight on that?


And obviously since the government gave them a loan, anything GM does now reflects badly on the government too. lol

The US government held 61% of the shares for a while (2008-2010), it was a partial nationalisation, not just a loan. Because it happened around the time of the elections, many didn't notice.

The US Treasury still holds 1% of their stock, AFAIK.
