Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Sure but id expect the perp to first use the cybertruck to ram into the building, or at least move closer, and not park nicely, otoh, if he was a terrorists what do I know, dont exactly know what goes through their mind shortly before things at high speeds go through their mind.
parking like this raises less suspicion. maybe he wasn't sure enough about whatever igniting mechanism he had, he could end up stuck in a wall unable to get out to look it up
instead of high speed disassembly dude just burned down in automatically locked death trap, i guess he found that anticlimatic. not like isis (guessing) recruits brightest minds out there
Yeah the story is about to get weird. Your isis guess might not be far off. See this same military base as the guy who drove into the crowds.
Writers of 2025: "Somehow isis returned." (I know isis never left, media just looked less at it, but thought it would be a funny joke).
update 2: yeah it's not that
so far what is known: active duty green beret, trumper, freshly (?) after breakup, wrote a "list of grievances" but it's not cited anywhere in full (maybe it's too racist for polite company). appears to be cooked in some ways. while he was a green beret he wasn't 18C or 18B so he wasn't specifically trained for use or handling of high explosives, (no cross-training?) he was more in business of communications, surveillance, intelligence gathering (18E, then 18F) also worked with drones and there was something about drones in that list of grievances
Thanks for the update. Damn this got very weird. Appreciate the 2025 writers throwing in a few twists. E: looks like the guy was a bit of an accelerationist fascist
i've seen that news piece on how they were in the same base and how they were deployed in afghanistan around the same time previously and that's what i based this guess on
still, so far it could be anything else including complete coincidence. it's like dude forgot everything, he was radioman but couldn't make remote controlled detonator and didn't use efficient charge for some reason
not only isis never left, i guess they controlled some territory at least until last month even if it was only a couple of villages in desert
