Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

It will not surprise you at all to find that they protest just a tad too much.

The whole "autogynephilia" thing has always kind of struck me as similar to the "you gotta stay constantly vigilant because the devil is constantly trying to tempt men into having gay sex" thing. Like, yeah, if you conceptualize it as pathological, you're gonna feel like there's something wrong with you. But it only feels weird when you're feeling it from the "wrong side," so to speak.

(later edit: it turns out maybe I don't actually know what autogynephilia is, so I might be confused...)

I think this blog got posted to sneerclub before though and yeah it's kinda too sad to make fun of. This post is a couple years old now but it looks like they're still blogging in this vein... I hope eventually they're able to come to terms with their true feelings.

As someone who once was there, yepppppppppppppp. Whether in the “I’m not strong/valid enough” strain or the “I’m not like one of them” strain it’s never just the kink they think it is
