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.

Does TP0 have an point he's trying to push with this thread? It's disingenuous enough that it feels like there's an agenda, but at the same time what could the point even be? Fuck cancer patients?

Possibly anti-universal-healthcare fearmongering. This stat's been going around US conservative circles. And I even typed that before seeing the thread ended with:
"Dear healthy people: don't let the sickly suck away all your money"
I mean, you know what the point is.
It's eugenics. It's always eugenics.
Leukemia patients are always over-represented in their data because it's so much easier to use the calipers on people with no hair.
Okay first of all what the fuck is a TP0? I swear you guys just make those people up and they're lazier and lazier written each time.
Second, what's the point here? Like, is either of the tweets making a point? Cause it just sounds like someone discovered why universal healthcare is a good idea? The fact that spending is so unequal is quite literally the entire point in favour of having universal insurance?

Now do how much of the population gets 24% of the income :)
Cremieux used to post to Reddit as user Tr***yPornO (with the slur instead of the asterisks). Nobody here wanted to call him that, so it was rapidly abbreviated TPO or TP0. He posted the same breathtaking racist shit with low quality cites that didn't check out as he has since. He also told all manner of inconsistent lies about who he was.
Speaking of breathtaking racism with low quality cites, does anyone remember ebola chan? He was my favorite because he was a reactionary with 4chan temperament, so he'd mald when pushed instead of spewing out word salad.
At least he wears his kink proudly, not many rightwing weirdoes would just admit they're really into that.
I wouldn't be too quick to conclude it's that - I've seen a number of these creeps wear/handle-pick slurs as a trying-to-be-funny pejorative
Oh I'm sure he's trying to be edgy, but in that case there's nothing that would trigger him more than what I've said :>
TP0 is the OSI connection-mode transport layer protocol's transport protocol class 0 duh.

I thought it meant “thread poster zero” because I never really understood the order in which one reads tweets and replies, so when I saw “TP0”, three frames later I already deduced an entire vocabulary of terms to designate each persona in a twitter screenshot
from the top down with either dfs or bfs depending on how you found the thread to spread, or from the inside out (by clicking through QTs until you get to the root). because twitter totally made browsing this shit easy.
what's hard.
oh man i'd forgotten St Rev, a favourite minor nrx from the mid-2010s
I'd never heard of him. His latest tweet is complaining about the left wing slant on his thread and he says that you can't "get away from the culture war I guess". Yet every fifth post below is a rage post about libs and lefties.
It's like how all topics are either the cishet white standard quo or "political." Raging about libs and lefties is standard quo and telling a dimwit they are a dimwit is "culture war."
that's just "poors don't deserve healthcare" what else
otoh aren't they going against their benefactors (old rich ghouls)?
christ and it's always the fucking bad-faith bullshit arguments. I bet if you pulled another dimension to the same fucking numbers there you'd instantly find some Rather Interesting correlations with income brackets, and if you pulled a dimension for care/spend class you'd find Another interesting correlation
I wish these people just fucking wouldn't, gah
