For those who are fortunate enough to not be exposed to tankies: Taryn is the insufferable tankie who Molly Crabapple outed as a UN employee after she kept loudly cheering about Russian bombings of civilians in Syria and denying human rights violations. Since then, red kahina and phil greaves have wanted to behead Molly Crabapple on video lol

I lost it at the end when David French said he and his son were in the same WoW guild.

You gamed from Iraq?

I'll never forget the day I tested the WoW connection. It was quite late at night (probably 2 or 3 a.m. Iraq time). I had finished instant messaging my wife, and I clicked on the WoW icon on my desktop. I logged on, watched it go through the authentication process and ... there was my priest, Rickybobby, still there, about three months after I'd last logged on. I clicked "Enter World" and found myself standing on the AH bridge in Ironforge. My near-delirious joy was tempered by the fact that my latency was between 1700 (at best) and 14000 (at worst), but a starving man will eat scraps from a dumpster, so this was much better than nothing.

I am an old-time Warcrafter, spending hour after frustrating, mediocre hour on battle.net during the old "Reign of Chaos" and "Frozen Throne" RTS days. When WoW came out, I was appalled that Blizzard would ruin the franchise with something like an MMO (I barely knew what that was). I tried it about a month after release, and the first night I couldn't figure out how to change the camera angle, so I ran around the Night Elf starter zone yelling at the screen because I just had a top-down view. I was such a noob that it took me to level 40 to realize that I could get rid of the starter gear, and I wondered why everyone LOLed at my toon. Heck, I didn't even know about talent points until level 30.

But now? I'm what you'd call an "intense casual raider." I read everything I can on EJ and WoW.com, I try to min-max and run end game content every week. I'm the priest officer in our guild (and a secondary rogue officer), and our guild is one of the better casual raiding guilds on our server. I'm no pro, but I've come a long way from the days of not even realizing there was an Auction House, almost dying on every single pull, and not knowing what anyone meant when they said, "Noob, I can't believe you equip gray items."

As someone who followed Klein during that particular ordeal , she wasn't cheering said bombings on as much as she was angry that other similar bombing campaigns from US allies were being given the kid's gloves in terms of treatment from the media + frustrated on said media attempting to frame the starvation campaigns as purely Assad's fault while she worked with refugees, with Syrian "rebels" also doing their own starvation campaigns. I'm aware of this since there was indeed some conflict with folk who were both pals with the "tankies" and the folk who would end up becoming the Chapo Boys over this.

Heck, the mere idea that the Libya and Syria interventions aided the rise of Daesh or cheering the YPG on the war for a while would have branded you as a "tankie" until folk like Felix and Matt would outright state it on their podcast.

Heck, you can see this with the Chapo folk being able to point on just how hosed up the Gawker dismantlement was and what it meant to the freedom of the press without having to their soundcloud annotations a fractal of "WOW SHUT UP YOU WHINY PUSSIES THAT WAS JUST AN OVERRATED FEMIWHINY poo poo CLICKBAIT MUCKRAG YOU CUUUUUUUUCKS" while Dan O' Sullivan can't do the same without that happening on twitter, despite him probably one of the most famous and notable guests on their show that wasn't Matt Taibbi.

Carl Beijer is not, in fact, black. He just had Allen Iverson as his twitter avi for a long time.
If that was sarcasm and I'm being that rear end in a top hat explaining the joke, I'm sorry.

Also, speaking of guests ~ I can think of a guy with a big personality and firsthand Middle East experience, not to mention a heavyweight internet status. Not just that, he's ready to tell his story.
