🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞

Ahhhh, sometimes I forget the implications of me opening my big mouth in cases like this. lol. Well, I’m glad it was a positive experience. :) It’s something I need to remind myself constantly of as I am bad about getting sucked into responding to perceived rudeness with rudeness of my own - I definitely have RSD and it fucking sucks.

haha, oh man. That actually reminds me. I know I mentioned the wiki thing - this is me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_v._Eiland-Hall

Basically, back in 2009, I created glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com. It was largely in response to Glenn Beck’s stupid technique of interviewing people - like to our first sitting Muslim member of Congress: “Now, I wouldn’t say this, but some people are asking: Are you working for our enemies?” - to an elected member of Congress!

Of course, this was back in the Muslim-scare days after 9/11 still in 2009… and now we definitely have people in Congress working for our enemies.

But anyway. So the parody site.

My wife found a forum where some idiots were trying to track me down. I mean, my real name and address was out there, but they were looking for more information about me and the site. They were talking about what organizations must be funding this attack on their beloved Beck.

There was controversy at the time because an orgnization called ACORN was trying to get people to register to vote and supposedly signing up on behalf of people. IIRC the allegations were either bullshit or it wasn’t a big deal or maybe it was and it was dealt with. All I remember for sure is that I thought it would be hilarious to offer these chucklefucks “evidence” for their conspiracies.

So I went out and copied the raw HTML from a 404 page on the ACORN website and made that the custom 404 page for my site. An then, to help these idiots “find” it, I made a “mistake” - I announced something on the main page and linked to a page that supposedly had the full story, only I intentionally put a typo in the link so the 404 page would come up. lol.

Oh, man, they went N U T S over in the forum “HOLY SHIT ITS ACORN BEHIND THIS” lolololol…

But anyway, your gif absolutely reminded me of those morons. That’s how I envisioned their “hacking” of me. lol

Shut up, Anthony.

(in case your name happens to actually be Anthony, I did pick it at pseudo-random jsut for a stupid joke!)

Too late for me, I’ve been Daychilde since 1996, didn’t keep it separate from my real name, and I’m on wikipedia, so it’s trivial to find me. lol.

The good is that I can report that it’s pretty safe to have an open identity. So far. heh

It may want a word but what it has are binaries :)

I’m here in yo Node spammin yo shit, BB :)

and can freely read anyones messages.

You do realize this is true of any service, yes? Unless there is 1:1 end-to-end encryption, perhaps. Even there, unless you’re pasting in encrypted data into the app, the app can potentially send your unencrypted data somewhere.

It had a large following back in the day. They haven’t attracted hardly anyone back. So they did have a potential jumpstart with previous users that they have failed to energize and capture.

Yep. It’s a choice Apple users make^[1] when they choose Apple.

Oh, I thought that was the… just… regulat step. hehe.

I guess for some sort of vaguely-serious discussion^[1], without doing any research, I think Jesus / Jesus Christ has stably evolved to Gee, with some variants like Gee Whiz being pretty common. I think Gee Willikers was more common around the TV Batman era and so now it’s less said straight and more said ironically. heh. I can’t think of any other common “Gee [something]”… maybe “Geezie Kreezie”, but I’ve only heard that from Suzy^[2] Izzard, so not sure if that’s common or not. lol

It definitely got short; I wonder if we’d count a second word as it getting longer, or a second word replacing “Christ”. These are the types of inconsequential discussions I love. :)

Well, your English is much better than my Eastern European. :) No clue you weren’t a native English speaker, so there’s that <3

The post-step is “Geezie willikers!” :)

i owe my soul to the company store

Considering the origin is “Jesus”, “Jee” is technically closer spelling than “Gee”. Not that I have a dog in this race.

Yeah, but why the fish and the banana? You have to explain that in more detail, my man.

hahaha. Thanks for the cool sunglasses, too. :)

Apologies mean “I made a mistake and I learned from it so it won’t repeat.”

At best it might not make the same mistake again if that memory is in the current context. But more likely: It will not remember.

Although latest Gemini in particular has much more room for “remembering” things, still.

But “I made a mistake”? It is not self-aware in any way shape or form to the degree where “I made a mistake” carries any real meaning.

Listen, kid, I’ve been on reddit since 2009. I hung out with the admins in IRC back in the day. I was a default mod for a while, and I’m the “father” of /r/nottheonion.

There’s plenty I don’t know about reddit and life in general, but on this topic, clearly I know a fuck ton more than you.

There was a time on reddit when self-promotion was against the rules. That rule was dropped something like a decade ago.

The simple fact is that - from at least the article’s telling - the subreddits wanted the content, and in that case, it is absolutely fine and encouraged for someone to submit.

There’s a guy making youtube reviews of restaurants in my local city’s subreddit. The content is popular - people like it. So we absolutely are happy to see him post. Is it self-promotion? Yes, technically. It’s also relevant to the subreddit and desired by the mods and members of the subreddit.

You’re like the people saying “dis a repost” when someone CROSS-posts. Note that reddit has a BUILT IN SYSTEM for cross-posting, but there are redditors who don’t know that.

So, little boy, you can take your condescension and /r/confidentlyincorrect along with /r/iamverysmart and fucking LEARN something, or go off and continue to be willfully ignorant.

Disclaimer: If the article’s reporting is incorrect and the subreddits considered it spam, well, that’s not what the article said, and I don’t otherwise have other knowledge of it, nor do I care enough to google for any other possible sources. But that’s the informatio you’re working off of as well, so there’s that.

PS: To add a light-hearted end: I’ll go to /r/dontyouknowwhoiam now :) (that name seems too long. Is that the right one/ Well, you probably know what I mean and I’m too lazy to look it up :P )

wut

Unless the article is absolutely lying, it mentioned the subreddits wanted the posts and couldn’t overcome the sitewide ban (i.e. manually approving the content). Your comment is a really huge stretch there.

Mine came from simply saying that a drone would probably take care of a Russian solder seen in a video on crutches heading toward the front lines in Ukraine. Literally just that. Not saying it with any joy or approval, just a statement of fact. Phrased pretty damn much like I said it in this comment here.
