Her slapfight with gbs was amazing. Does anyone have a link so I can relive her declaring herself Queen poo poo of Google. Also her supervisor told her to knock off the bullshit and her Twitter went private.

Ha ha, her supervisor silenced her? That's delicious.

I've been waiting for this thread for ages. I can't get enough of the loving magic cards. How do they not realize how ridiculous that looks?

Aurini is apparently "retired military" having been trained in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Ha.

Ha ha ha.

No.

Kind of puts the whole Occupy movement in perspective; Occupy was started by an insane guy who thought he was a woman who apparently hates real women, the Tea Party was started by a successful Trader & News commentator.

C'mon man, we can rip on Justine Tunney for good reasons, let's leave her gender identity out of it.

She does support crazy misandrists though, which I was unaware of. It's a layer cake of loving bonkers!

That's Narciss, dude. He's been gimmickposting in PYF for ages.

I am twice a fool!

Aurini strikes me as the strangest kind of guy. He talks about misandry and blah blah blah, but he's obviously projecting a masculine image for the sake of projecting it. The scotch, cigarette case, military service (that was barely worth mentioning.) It's all window dressing that, in a feminist world, he would never need to define himself by. Surreal.

My experience as a fag is that the dudes who hate me the most are always the ones most invested in the idea of the man as the rugged provider and head of household. It comes from investing your personal worth into being a man, rather than anything you have personally achieved. People like Aurini are threatened by feminism precisely because it steals their one great accomplishment, being born with a penis.

That makes a lot of sense. The masculine is all he has. Based his whole life around it. drat.


Oh my god that loving hat. It's like the omni-fedora, possessor of all fedoras. It is the genetic master of all fedoras; their genes belong to him, and his will is their law. Praise to the omni-fedora.

Man, I miss hats. Seems like you can't wear one these days without looking ridiculous.

Great article. I've been saying it for years, nerds ruin everything.

I'll be honest, I can watch about a minute of these videos before I just get super embarrassed for them and shut it off.

Nails Aurini. But what is Justine getting out of all of this?

I feel like she's buying into a culture in the Bay Area that thinks :siren: Technologists Will Save The World :siren:. Who doesn't want to be the hero of the story? Who doesn't want to be Superman?

What the gently caress is he saying here? I've gone over this like four or five times and I can't make heads or tails of this analogy he's making.

Ah yes. Misandry strikes again. So his argument is, if I understand this, because a woman cut a man's junk off and no one would suspect that would ever occur...women are sluts?

Clearly I need to watch the video after work.

This sounds like somebody drank a bunch of kerosene and then tried to invent a fantasy backstory for Farmville.

I can't believe I missed this post from the first page. Amazing.

Also, I was unaware that Aurini was a dropout, but that makes sense. Anyone know what he studied? Maybe he paid for his schooling with all that money he made in the :canada: CANADIAN MILITARY :canada:

He was in the military, wasn't he? For like a year? I imagine he killed fitty men. With his fists. While smoking.

Similarly, Alexander Pushkin, who is considered to be the greatest Russian poet of all time if not the greatest Russian writer. Wikipedia says his great-grandfather was brought over from Africa, so that makes him 1/4 of African descent, right? I never read him, but a professor of mine specialized in his work and mentioned that his heritage was pretty well known and people often made fun of his lips. In response, he dueled people all the time.

Goodness, an important part of western culture being influenced by Africa?! UNSPEAKABLE.

Is there any evidence that their African heritage influenced their creative output in any meaningful way, though, other than people making fun of what are not entirely rare features for non-African-heritaged Europeans? I'm probably at least 1/8 Latvian, but if I ever got famous and Latvians started claiming me as their own I'd be more than a little bit annoyed.

Not so much his output, as far as I'm aware, but people were definitely aware of it and it had an impact on his life in a number of ways. Despite reading quite a bit of Russian literature, I haven't read Eugene Onegin since it's poetry and that's rarely fun in translation.

What does Aurini do for a living anyway? Just these videos via his Patreon?

I've been following this thread since page one and I haven't seen this posted yet. Someone dropped this link in the DnD pictures thread. If you're like me and can't sit through an entire Aurini video, this will do:

Yeah that's a spinoff of a spinoff of a forum dedicated to complaining about goons.

I feel like we're going to get to a point with these spinoff forums where one of the members goes back in time, becomes Lowtax, and founds SomethingAwful to ensure some sort of cosmogonic idiot cycle.
