It was created by an Elon Musk superfan who identified himself to ARTnews as a French tech entrepreneur under the pseudonym “Louis XXII."

His other pseudonyms include Adrian Dittman and Doge Designer

It was a major plot point on one of the seasons of The Sopranos. Junior ordered a hit on Tony Soprano after Tony found out that Junior ate pussy and teased him for it.

Of all the notions that exist around hypermasculinity, this one is the weirdest.

I googled the author, he's a Tech Bro pretending to be a media critic. Shame on The Guardian for publishing this moronic clickbait guff.

I would say the guy clearly doesn't understand the most basic concepts of fiction, except I suspect he probably does but is ignoring them in order to push his agenda.

Thank you.

"I don't have to know CS201 Data Structures and Algorithms to do my job", says a thousand D-tier coders online, whose code is costing their employers a small fortune in unnecessary cloud compute bills because they just blindly imported a ton of python libraries and went with the least suitable data structures and algorithms for the task at hand, because that's what the defaults were for that library. "It fulfils all the requirements from the client perfectly, bow to my experience and skill in delivering customer value".

It's classic Dunning-Kruger, incompetent people who are too incompetent to know they're incompetent.

Bonus points when they cite the fact that they were involved with a project that cost a hundred million dollars, as "proof" that they're a world-class expert, when it probably would have been a ten million dollar project with an actually competent engineer...

Imagine sucking so bad it makes the news.

That was the opposite of nuance. It was pedantry that deliberately missed the point.

From 2013 to 2020 I didn't have bittorrent installed anywhere, and paid for Netflix, NowTV, and Crunchyroll. Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.

Basically the US was the worlds police until recently.

For the most part, only they saw it that way. The very fact that America refuses to recognize the ICC tells you everything you need to know about how good faith their "world policing" actually is.

What they've actually got a history of doing is describing foreign incursions to protect their own economic interests as "police actions" rather than formal declarations of war, in order to ignore various laws and international conventions. America has not been the good guy since 1945.

Yeah it's just so nakedly transparent how dishonest their posturing is about Europe not doing enough on defense.

Turns out what they actually meant was "our entire economic system is predicated on infinite unending YoY growth targets, and we've run of ways to grow, so now you all have to start spending more money on feeding this fucking beast we created".

Also this theme of "how dare you take advantage of us all these years" is exactly the kind of talk domestic abusers use.

One of my friends is married to a Chinese woman only two years his junior, but because she, like most Asian women, looks a lot younger than her European contemporaries he still gets lots of dirty looks and untoward comments from judgy fucks who think it’s any of their fucking business.

Sod 'em.
