On the subject of Ted Kaczynski and people in the Epstein files, I get an opportunity to revive this old limerick:
Lewinsky and Clinton have shown,
what Kaczynski must surely have known:
That an intern is better
than a bomb in a letter
of the possible ways to be blown.
In one 2011 email, Gelernter recommended an undergraduate student to Epstein for an editorial position in part because she was a "v[ery] small goodlooking blonde".
Fucking psychopath. Not sorry Ted blew off his jerk-off hand.
telling colleagues that he was "very glad [he] wrote the note" and that Epstein "...was obsessed with girls (like every other unmarried billionaire in Manhattan; in fact, like every other heterosex[ual] male), and if I hadn't said what I did in that letter ten-odd years ago, he would certainly have called me & asked for a lot more aesthetic detail. (This is how men behave.)
I’m wondering why he had a job to begin with. Being against women in the workforce should preclude you from being allowed to teach women who might enter the workforce.
With professors like that, it’s no wonder that there’s a dearth of women in CS.
It's not much better once you get into the workforce. Unfortunately. And so much of the misogyny is invisible to men until it's pointed out to them explicitly.
But I agree:
If you believe that members of the opposite sex should not be permitted to be working, you should not be permitted to work outside of occupations which are necessarily restricted by sex.
Similarly, if you don't think think you should have to work with brown people, disabled people, foreign people....
The boy who was in charge of my robotics club believed that girls can’t program and refused to teach or help me (I remember that I “looked too confused” to be helped out with enums….) . I remember once, I was playing with some Java code at lunch, and him and the other coders all stopped to mock how shitty a programmer I was because they saw a bunch of squiggly red lines (hadn’t loaded in all the libraries, just was curious what mobile video game coding looked like).
It was so goddamn isolating as a high schooler. Being a weirdo computer geek, but not welcome with the other weirdo computer geeks because of my sex.
it's more "I don't think epstein was active when the unabomber was killing people" so the dead people were visiting the island? Oh , he injured someone that went on to go to epstein island, thus , no time paradox.
I'll rewatch it later, but the only thing I remember about him was that he learned how to use his other hand as his primary after the mail bomb blew up his dominate one. Probably the only reason he had an episode at all was the bombing.
That's why we're here, a dude who got bombed in 1995 turned up in the files a bunch of years later. Given the other people Ted bombed it probably had more to do with working at a Uni than being part of some pedo ring.
In another post, I mentioned that he may have been correct all along, and the people he targeted had it coming, except for the innocent ones. Ted was a bit sloppy in that regard.
Not that different from all the innocents the US gov has murdered. We literally just watched ICE gun down two citizens in Minnesota and per usual nothing will happen or change.
This is typical of far right dipshits though. 1. vaguely identify an actual observable problem that any fuckup can see 2. be wrong about a bunch of stuff 3. murder
That's exactly what he was. He spent half of Industrial Society and Its Future railing against the left and arguing that it was a psychological phenomenon linked to a "need for power".
He liked the environment, that was about the only "left" thing about him.
Yall need to do more research before you jump on a bandwagon.
Correct all along, aside from suggesting that we need to essentially genocide each other until all states collapse and the population is a small fraction of what it is today.
One case mentioned further up is David Gelernter, who survived with permanent injuries and shows up in the Epstein files to the point of it now ending his career.
This is however well after the attacks, the Unabomber predates the timespan we have significant information about. Given the wiki entry of that David Gelernter, I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up in some analog Epstein documents we don't yet know about.
I checked another random victim and found no info at all at a glance though, so I'm not convinced on the unabomber picking targets based on this, which seems like what some others here are claiming. Could just be a by-chance hit. If you bomb people you dislike I suppose you'll have an increased chance of targetting pedos by intuition.
Pretty sure that was the joke - a guy randomly trying to kill people did more to punish members of a pedophile ring by complete happenstance than the governmental body whose job it's meant to be to do so.

You must've had a different Lemmy username in the 1800s, because your account history doesn't go back that far.

We could still make limericks about current-day atrocities if we wanted to.

Trump and Epstein they knew,
The most terrible things they could do,
Defile young kids, for the highest bids,
Then pass the bill on to you.

Thanks. I tried looking at the people the Unabomber killed and I couldn’t find shit
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 191d
I was wondering how a bomber could bring someone to justice before the crimes happened
Drusas@fedia.io · 12 pts · 190d
I'm going to guess not all these guys suddenly became pedophiles after meeting Epstein.

I was wondering why his face looked familiar. He was featured on Big Thinkers.
I'll rewatch it later, but the only thing I remember about him was that he learned how to use his other hand as his primary after the mail bomb blew up his dominate one. Probably the only reason he had an episode at all was the bombing.
AethiopeRoot@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 190d
What a disgusting man
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 83 pts · 191d
He also bombed a campus police officer, multiple passenger planes, two store owners, etc.
There isn't praiseworthy fiber in this man, he needed help and pity.
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.world · 62 pts · 191d
It’s less about showing him to be even vaguely moral, and proving that the US government is supremely corrupt and immoral.

The meme, maybe, but the fucking post title says "W for Uncle Ted"
blujan@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 190d
It's a W when compared to the american government in this one specific instance
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · -1 pts · 189d
A horrible attrocity is not a W "compared to" other things.
Bombing a large number of random people isn't justified if one of them turns out to be a piece of shit 16 years later.
Cypher@aussie.zone · 22 pts · 191d
He’s really good at maths

Can you blame a guy for spiraling after being MK Ultra'ed?

I couldn't praise him, no.
Dasus@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 190d
Well despite it, I think his bombings still kinda pale in comparison to the ones US pulls.
mike_hunt@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 190d
Well, has anyone tried looking these people up in the Epstein files yet?

That's why we're here, a dude who got bombed in 1995 turned up in the files a bunch of years later. Given the other people Ted bombed it probably had more to do with working at a Uni than being part of some pedo ring.

Its still a valid conversation

In another post, I mentioned that he may have been correct all along, and the people he targeted had it coming, except for the innocent ones. Ted was a bit sloppy in that regard.
I got savagely downvoted.

The people were guilty except for the innocent ones?

"I aced that test! As long you don't count the answers I got wrong..."
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 19 pts · 191d
Yep, pretty much. Seems like unassailable logic to me.
Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 191d
Do you have a list of innocents and guilties, preferably with some notes as to why for guilty ones? Or maybe a link to your mentioned comment?
Lioffproxy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 191d
Weren't they mostly academics? I mean he was messed with, with multiple right? Wasn't his targets about that?
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · -18 pts · 191d
Nah, I'm busy. You know how to use Google.
Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 18 pts · 191d
I checked a few people and found nothing, So I'll take that as 1 guilty and everyone else innocent then.
Donkter@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 190d
I think they mean the targets were guilty but the post office workers and secretaries that got bombed were still innocent.
