We gotta start saying her name man. It's like working with a new person who you call orange as a joke since that's what they wore on their first day but you just keep it up because you're too shy to ask their name.

Her name is ~~Robert Paulson~~ Haliey Welch.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I know her name is publicly available. I'm just saying if she's going to keep popping up we should probably stop calling her "Hawk Tuah girl".

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

we gotta start saying her name

her name

That’s a win!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

This one doesn't even call her "Hawk Tuah girl".

Tuna!

Haliey Welch

I mean, she is not trying to keep a private life, she is trying to capitalize on her 15 mins of fame. If she wants the fame, the label should be fair game.

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

I knew he wasn’t monogamous, but I didn’t know he tried to start a polycule until I read that. Interesting!

Makes up theory of relativity. Marries cousin.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

After you reminded me of that as well, I had to look it up, because, what kind of cousin have we been talking about this whole time? Second, third cousin hopefully? Nope. She was his first cousin. I’m not so impressed with his sex life anymore. Gross.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

A cousin is taken as fair game in many countries, health risks in children are low. Better get tested first to make sure. Many cousins are not in close contact through their childhood, so they don't feel sibling-like wierdness.

Many of the great geniuses fell to one or the other extreme of sexual activity. Might be related to neurodivergence but that’s me speculating

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Plays into the autism/ADHD as a superpower narrative instead of the "some people like sex some don't" narrative, pass.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Some people like sex, others don’t. People with autism/adhd often find ourselves in positions where we’re comfortable violating social norms, whether that’s deciding that you’d actually rather spend all your time on electrical engineering and pigeons instead of having a family, or being a bum who can’t stick with a job long enough to have consistent housing but also lacks the impulse control to not pursue all the sex they want.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

It'd be nice to line up his quotes on the subject in chronological order, since it seems like the last one would be about how his infidelities were his biggest failings in life. People say a lot of stuff to rationalize their behaviour while they are still doing it. But with time and space, can put together that the problem wasn't that other people "chose" to feel hurt about it. They will always be hurt if it came by surprise and you didn't have consent first. Hell, even in proper polygamous relationships with as much consideration and communication as possible, it can be a challenge to not hurt anyone.

"My dear, monogamy is an entirely relative concept with no fixed frame of reference!'

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

wait. alber charged and people paid???

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

he grows more based every time I learn more about his life

Classic Scientist trying to offer comfort...

"Listen, I'm sorry your marriage fell apart, but it was the most likely outcome..."

"Also, you wanna have sex?"

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Huh, one part of me feels bad for her cause of all the attention, but she seems like she wants to capitalize on it.

It’s her choice but I feel like the jokes are a little more justified if she wants to stay in the spotlight.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean she's called her podcast "Talk Tuah"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

That's goddamned hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

it's definitely at least in part intended. She has management now, for sure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Oh course. A lot of extroverts conflate fame with healthy interpersonal relationships.

When have quants ever used good decision making as a basis for their trading? Saying you use AI brings in investors, that's good enough for quant funds.

Always. If they don't make more good decisions than bad then they get fired.

Crazily, they only need to make good decisions 55% of the time.
