Escape From New York: Louis Rossmann Edition - Hopefully he does not make Texas a bughive

@larossmann No one is going to whack you dude.
It won't happen to him but there are a lot of mentally ill people out there, who knows what kind of thinking goes in the mind of a Discord or Bluesky user.
What happened was shocking on several levels, from the act alone to the disturbing reaction from many people including journos/bloggers.
Like other people said before my post, Louis should probably take a few days off-line.
 
Louis never had a place he could freely talk about stuff. Must feel nice to scream.
What's fucked up is there will most likely be outside reactions to the venting here. Sure, you can pop blood vessels letting out the steam on here and it's no difference to the farms, but pedditors will just use it as ammo in their retard assault on his character.

I appreciate Louis' take on setting aside opposing political and societal stances for the better of his goal, right to repair shouldn't be bipartisan and his personal life choices shouldn't demean his work in that mission. I just see what this career path has done, thankless work is taxing on the mind and it's starting to show.

Feels like I'm being a fanboy faggot for Louis here, but this whole thing just resonates with me a lot. I have been hoping for someone to make a change in that area since I was cursed with the gift of an Apple laptop and iPhone for college. Really it's just insane that they can use a super obscure screw head that strips easier than Anisa in LA, and any damage to them is auto void for all warranties. It's only a matter of time before PC/Droid makes a shift in that direction unless Apple is forced to change their RtR ethics, because the tying of our hands in repairing their shit products has made them the tech gigamonopoly that it is today.
 
I've had dates google me and I have 0 followers. Then I have to answer questions about the couple times I was in my local newspaper as a teenager. I think this has less to do with your opinion of Apple and more to do with Western women's current obsession with rape and murder. My wife openly told me on our first date that she researched me and insisted we meet in an extremely public place. She spent the next 20 minutes telling me about how there was a guy using dating apps in the local area to find women to rape and rob. If you give them a minute to realize you're not going to strangle them, they get over it pretty fast. Don't take it personal.

Also, the chance of someone trying to kill you for your internet presence is miniscule, assuming you don't have some weird interactions with people behind the scenes. If that doesn't make you feel better, then maybe it's time to take your life into your own hands.
 
When you're right, you're right. Easier said than done. Imagine getting introduced to that by a date that is giggly about having googled you. But you're right.

I have a theory that the reason my brain does this is because five or ten thousand years ago, you had small tribes of five to forty people, and if a few people in that tribe talked shit about you, you were excluded from hunting, gathering, and probably got killed. I don't think our brain evolved for having tribes or inner friend/neighbor circles of more than 40 people. I see 100 people piling on, hoping for my failure after going on a date with someone who reads it to me after smirking saying they googled me..????

The part of my brain that understands proportions goes out the window. That's not 0.00001% of the people that have engaged with what I say or do. That's 100 people.

But yeah, good advice. Easier said than done, though. Thank you.

There are the occasional people that try to go a little too far that have actually followed me(I don't mean on Twitter). For times like those, I'm happy that I'm located in Texas.
Louis, I've been a big fan of your content and your mission statement for years now. I think it's pretty fucking great that you can come here and rather overwhelmingly get people that appreciate you and want to see you well. We're never that friendly.

I don't think you have to worry about assassination. I think your date is a hunk of shit for bringing the most chaotic bullshit the internet had to offer directly into your real life. I hope that you can take a deep breath, ignore the psychotic bullshit, and keep up the good fight. Please, just give yourself a vacation if you're beginning to be overwhelmed by the stress.

Godspeed, dude.
 
Tourists. But maybe you're right. It's just weird having this influx of posts after a year of having one post per month
Louis can't come into his own thread and schitzopost while expecting no push back. Y'all are being way too easy on him, if you wanna know the truth about it. He went out of his way to tell you how he feels about you/us and you want to maintain the hugbox?

You're free to shit on him and I'm free to hugbox him. Such is life.
 
@larossman
You will probably never read this but here goes
The approval of a CEO getting pineboxed is not the problem but a symptom of a dying society.
The Friend/Enemy distinction only grows stronger until it hits its apex where we just start killing each other.
Unlike other people here I do agree you are on the chopping block
Not yet, but as political violence becomes normalized.

Which is why i recommend you join a side purely for survival's sake as it will only get worse from here.
Neither side is taking prisoners, all civilians are considered enemy combatants, and the losing side is getting reconstructed.

I strongly support and appreciate what you do.
My country is not an open air strip mall and my people are not consumerist cattle for corporations to peddle their overpriced shoddy wares to.
 
Well I guess I know why Louis is scared of getting shot now:

nobody here has wrongfully tried to implicate me in attempted murder based on complete bullshit. In some circles, it has become normal to accuse me of being complicit in the harassment & attempted murder of people based on a single comment on a video where I made G-rated-comments expressing my opinion regarding their poor behavior towards other people.
You're just one of many. Daniel Micay has also accused Techlore, Jonah Aragon and Privacy Guides, CalyxOS, and by proxy James Donaldson and CopperheadOS (because he thinks that Calyx is somehow related to Copperhead) of being responsible for harassment and (allegedly) swatting him. And that's not the full list, you can see the (non-exhaustive) list of enemies in his lolcow thread.

It is retarded that those in the GrapheneOS project and many of their supporters believe his story, but trust me, they're all impotent and powerless. The worst thing he's done is report Techlore's account and gotten him suspended from Twitter. The worst thing he's threatening right now is filing frivolous lawsuits, which will suck but at least it's not a gun pointed at you on the street. I would bet more money on him or a GrapheneOS believer committing violent/illegal acts against the Kiwi Farms, and we're much more hardened against such attacks.

People in this thread have already said to chill out, and given many good reasons why, but I'll also add that Daniel's biggest character flaw and much of the cause of his troubles with others is taking negativity way too seriously. You'll still get shitheads making up shit about you, but everybody gets that. If you can at least not make it any worse then you'll be faring much better than Daniel is.
 
The fact that Louis felt that KF was the safest space on the Internet to have this meltdown is something us Farmers should take as a huge compliment.

Hope you're feeling better soon, @larossmann. We don't want to lose you.

BTW I'm harmless and quite like cats, but I understand why you'd be reluctant to let me pet any of yours
