    I remember when he got called out for being hostile to tech workers, got in a big argument with mods, then backed down by saying exactly the same things about “bazingas” for the rest of his time here.

    He was super vitriolic towards whoever caught his eye, and people just gave him a pass because it was aimed at reddit bros more often than at random hexbears.

      God forbid you had undiagnosed autism or ADHD in school and were mistreated by educators, too – he was always quick to chime in with a snide remark about “autodidacts” who had hangups because of “Mrs. Meanface,” when it’s like, yes you dense motherfucker, some of us did have a shitty time in the American public school system, because like it or not, capitalist entropy means some of the most horrible fucking people make it into teaching because they want to get paid to exert authority over children. I went through it as a kid, and I’m seeing it happen with my kid’s current teacher right now.

      His techbro takedowns were funny (if not repetitive), but he could be a complete asshole if you dared to have a rough time in the education system.

      I am a tech worker, so I speak with authority when I say we deserve it
