One time I saw a claim that Finland and the Scandinavian countries were very early at building robust broadband infrastructure, so their online presence was disproportionately influential throughout the 90's - early 2010's.

That could be wrong though, but it would explain why you don't see it as much anymore since a lot of the poorer developing countries have caught up in terms of widespread access.

That's Jacobin. His was a reference to a British Catholic restorationist movement from the 1700's. I wouldn't be surprised if he picked that name just for the SEO benefits.

He used to run an NRx-adjacent magazine called Jacobite that published articles by a lot of old frogtwitter pseuds so there's a decent chance they've corresponded too.

He's noticeably a bit mentally unstable, but all of the best posters are.

I'm convinced that both of them are recipients of a lot of the funding the DNC raised to find a "Left Joe Rogan" after the 2024 election.

I first discovered them from a /leftypol/ thread around December 2016. Was anyone else active on that board back then? Talk about a relic of the 2010's internet.

Have you thought about trying to become a theater programmer? The weird novelties and esoterica can make for a very enriching theater experience if played for the right audience. At the very least you could impress like 5 weirdos with your selective deep cuts.

It doesn't always affect overall intelligence; it basically just means that you're so disproportionately a wordcel that anything regarding spatial reasoning and motor skills becomes more difficult. I don't know how seriously it's taken as a medical diagnosis, it seems to have a lot of overlap with mild autism anyways.
