Sigh (
Why are people like this? A female mathematician in training seeks logic in an illogical world. And doesn't find it. But at least there's coffee. I have a BF.

@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow Let's note that this

is what Gary posted after I expressed my anger toward him in response to the insult above, in a pair of tweets that I deleted a few minutes later. Can anybody still seriously doubt that this guy is a troll? Image @GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow Look at how much pleasure this lowlife got out of the anger he inspired in me, after he followed his unprovoked attack on L with condescension in response to a simple, reasonable question - "why are you acting like this."

Basically.

@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow @NeverRelax1095 Girl. I'm female. I say so right in my bio, so I guess plenty gets past you, Gary.

And I put that question to you directly, so that you could not claim that I had replied to you in bad faith, and be taken seriously. @GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow @NeverRelax1095 So, on what basis did you direct that insulting comment at L? Certainly, as one can see from the receipt of the discussion she was in

she was hardly unprovoked. Yet, a search for replies from you to "Definitely a Fed" ...

@chicagolandish @annafoat @SocratesGBruno @AdamMGrant "I am not."

Anna says, as she goes on failing to understand the concept of an ecological fallacy, and goes into hysterics about the fact that the errors in a statistical argument were brought up, at all. @chicagolandish @annafoat @SocratesGBruno @AdamMGrant "Using that word definitely says a lot about you tho."

Not at all. It's a perfectly good word, even if some very loud activists have irrationally chosen to make a lot of noise about it. "Mentally retarded" simply means "low IQ." Nothing more, nothing less.

@RuckerCulpepper @annafoat @SocratesGBruno @AdamMGrant Reading her tweet



and assuming (wrongly, as it turns out) that Anna wasn't dumber than a rock, I took it to mean that the average female salary was lower than it might otherwise have been, ... @RuckerCulpepper @annafoat @SocratesGBruno @AdamMGrant ... because women often chose to go into relatively low paying professions, like teaching. Turns out, no, she's just ranting and raving like a lunatic because she wants to be heard.

She came unglued when I thought up the seniority issue.

@annafoat @SocratesGBruno @AdamMGrant Are you in fact retarded, Anna? I'm a female PhD student in Mathematics.

"50% of the population is 'on average' younger with less experience."

You have a lot to learn about Statistics, don't you? @annafoat @SocratesGBruno @AdamMGrant Since female entry into higher paid professions (eg. medicine and engineering) is more common now than it was in the past, yes, women in those professions will, on the average, be younger than the men in them, because the lower rates of female entry in them leaves us with a ...

@TeamYouTube @CAMELCASTOff I just followed the link. It took me to the infamous Youtube help forum, a place where no representative of the company has ever been seen showing up. If @CamelCastOff posts there, he'll only be talking with other Google users. @TeamYouTube @CAMELCASTOff You aren't addressing his concern, you're stalling him, while you're continuing in your lawless attempts to shake him down for cash.

@TeamYouTube @Scacciavillani Care to explain this?



This looks an awful lot like you shaking down one of your users. @TeamYouTube @Scacciavillani As a prospective user of Youtube, I find this deeply concerning. Are you actually demanding that channel owners send money to you?

Silence from you in response to this question will be taken as assent. See: Common law.

@RekietaLaw @GooningOnRumble @SomeBitchIIKnow No worries. Dealing with X'itter can get exhausting. People are going to miss stuff. @RekietaLaw @GooningOnRumble @SomeBitchIIKnow "I'll mildly disagree with you because this guy is conventionally attractive enough to do the same as what you describe and he's dressed neutrally."

But he's still a guy. There's still that social expectation that he'll be ready to take a leading roll in a conversation.

@SomeBitchIIKnow How about because we oppose the idea of idiots coming to America? Especially the incel variety of idiot?

Let's talk about that one for a second, and say exactly why Silent and I have not been gentle with that crowd. It has nothing to do with nerd-baiting.

Nerds are cool. @SomeBitchIIKnow It has everything to do with attitudes like the one of the user I reported yesterday, whose response to my lack of support for his idea that he was entitled to sex was to threaten me with rape. And every other woman in America, too, by the way.

@MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter "Having something, as in? Monetary?"

You know full well what an ellipsis is, and you could see the tweet right below the one you replied to.



That was a bad faith reply on your part, a deliberate quotation out of content. Where is your integrity? @MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter

@JewsFightBack Wow. These days, when I see a thing like that I have to wonder if it's a deepfake, but if not, what a bizarre thing for him to have said. Surely an assassination is more than adequate retaliation for another assassination? Why kill ten million innocent people?

That's insane. @JewsFightBack That having been said ... he's not in the Oval Office, and those rash words of his didn't get anybody killed. We've all said intemperate things in moments of passion, so if your point is "he said this, so he needs to be over," I'm not going to support that, and neither should you

@MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter You're making a mountain out of a molehill. People will always call the places they're from "home."

To my mom, "home" is somewhere in Kerala. To me, it's Naperville, Illinois. This isn't a matter of my being more loyal to America than her, merely one of my having something ... @MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter ... that she never can: childhood memories of America. The children of immigrants feel at home in a way that their parents would like to, but can't. The immigrants accept this discomfort, not out of greed, but to give their children a chance at a better life.

@PuffyBuffy007 @Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews When did I say or event hint at saying that, Buffy Puffy?

You don't get to stick words in my mouth. @PuffyBuffy007 @Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews Are we going to have a real, grown up conversation, or am I going to just see a series of emotional explosions out of you, in which you try to put me on the defensive by responding to what you've chosen to believe that I said, as opposed to what I actually did say?

@Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews "Whatever. I can't help the fact that you're highly unrealistic."

You say, as you whimper about the fact that your attempt to be manipulative failed to produce the results you wanted. @Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews "I don't want my wife going to any gym here from this garbage."

Interesting, the way you frame that. Not that you respect her right to not go, or are supportive of her decision, but that this the decision that you'd make for her.

You don't seem to respect boundaries.

@Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews Well, john, if we're talking about what I'm doing with my body, my perspective is the one that matters. Whether I'd continue going to a gym is not something that I owe a dialog over, to just any "opinionated husband and father" who wants one. @Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews Moving out of California sounds like a fine idea. I'm certainly looking forward to getting out of Illinois.

But when you prioritize some guy's business over some woman's right to privacy, we've got a problem.

@nunuvusrfree @Rightanglenews How about building two places where Trans people be as freakish as they want, one for "biologically male transfolk" and another for "biologically female transfolk," having them be hundreds of miles apart, so they won't be producing children?

Then exile the translunatics to them? @nunuvusrfree @Rightanglenews Build walls around these places with gates opening inward. The transloons can run their own farms, have their own businesses, trade with whoever is brave enough to in there, and lead reasonably full lives in places where they'll be the norm.

They just can't ever leave.

@m0f069 @BtcBlackthorne @VintageRockN_85 Just about everything, which is why it won't be allowed to happen.

Not a reference to a hope of Divine intervention. It's a statement that the other shoe would drop, really hard, if anybody tried to make that happen, and that collateral damage would considered a minor issue. @m0f069 @BtcBlackthorne @VintageRockN_85 In the face of a more than global existential threat, all moral bets are off. Such a threat would exist in this case, because programming a working conscience into a piece of software is a theoretical impossibility. Any near term "superhuman AI" would functionally be a psychopath

@MartinFeathers2 @visegrad24 That's a shame. But perhaps this poor lad could be helped. I'm told that plastic surgery has reached the point at which male features can be feminized to the point at which some thirsty incels will go "eh, close enough." @MartinFeathers2 @visegrad24 Our Eritrean friend could be given a sex change operation, made to look as close to feminine as modern Medicine can manage, and then be left n a k e d in a prison shower room. In theory, I mean. Not advocating anything, because that might be a violation of the TOS.

@bluesky Hi. Me, again. I know, you scr-- over so many users that you're having trouble remembering all of us, so I'll help you out. I'm the Indian-American PhD student in Math whose account you capriciously deleted in February of this year. @bluesky I wrote to you about that



Your anonymous team accused me of impersonating myself. That seemed a little strange, even for you guys. After the incident got a bit of exposure on Twitter and Bluesky, you backed down.

Temporarily.

@mouselikeme @WhiteWi13 @anduriltech That's a nice thought, but what do you do when you discover that some of your fellow human beings don't want to be civilized? @mouselikeme @WhiteWi13 @anduriltech If you're imagining a future in which everybody has ended up allied to almost everybody else, and world wars are a thing of the past, then I'll be glad to support you in that.

That sounds like a great future.
