“The sad thing is that if the officer had not made a few key missteps … he might have covered his bases well enough to avoid consequences.” Yeah, so sad.

      Agreed, I read this as saying that the cop would otherwise have got away with it & that this was a /bad/ thing.

      Also, the experimenting on babies thing is hilarious.

    my favorite orange site minigame is figuring out if the infomercial bullshit a poster keeps namedropping is an ordinary grift or an actual cult (both are common — this is VC culture we’re talking about after all)

    I don’t know how to categorize this one. outwardly it’s a jokey baby care book for new parents who lean a bit too hard into fucking loving science, but I can’t shake the icky feeling I’m getting from a bunch of the book supposedly being cognitive tests and the need to benchmark your own flesh and blood like a video card? yeah typing this out I’m starting to drift towards this being weird cult shit

      the need to benchmark your own flesh and blood like a video card?

      Now I’m just imagining somebody slathering their child’s forehead with thermal paste and trying to bolt on a heatsink.
