Does this imply the story about a trans roommate/partner has been debunked?

A couple hours before reading about the roommate, I read a story quoting "Jay", a 40 year old muscle car fanatic who'd been dating Robinson:

“He was pretty shy, he was just a car enthusiast,” the perplexed forty-year-old sighs, refusing to give his last name. “We just talked about our love for muscle cars, the noise they make and the way they drive."

That is absolutely what would happen.

I thought this was a shitpost copypasta but there was no punchline and it ends with contact information... Is this a parody of a scam or someone actually trying to pull a scam?

If you go years without peeing, where does the pee go?

Do the balls just start getting bigger?

I suppose I can agree the way the system should work, with rehabilitation being the purpose, 20 years is a reasonable maximum and I'd be glad the decision for how long to hold a criminal wasn't mine. I haven't studied the subject, I'd trust the people who have.

The maximum sentence for a plot to start a race war is twenty years?

I guess I'll have to find a friend I can borrow from, does piratebay still have old PC games?

Wait, it looks like the only way to install OpenRC2 is to have already installed RC2?

Installing on my Linux machine:

OpenRC2 needs files from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 or RollerCoaster Classic in order to work. Please select the directory where you installed RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 or RollerCoaster Classic. (I haven't learned anything about how to live in the Linux environment, I barely use this machine)

Wait, would you mind expanding on that about the Hungarian uprising? Isn't that where the term "tankies" originates from, something something Soviet tanks rolling over innocent civilians to get them back to work, I don't know what the original "tankies" argued about the situation but I'm curious if this proof actually establishes that, no, the original "tankies" weren't actually being unreasonable at all

I know I'm not getting the metaphor here because to me, this looks like Republicans and Democrats working together to impale fascism using the power societies gain when wielding the "stake" of communism??

Nice project man!

I'm on mobile right now so I'm not seeing the game in it's intended environment and I'm not sure what controls I'm unable to use from this interface but, it looks like a fun project!

Keep working on little coding projects you enjoy, I started coding somewhere around 10-14 and slowly developed those skills as I finished school and started college for a pretty different career. Now, more than a decade into that other-career, I'm starting to get my work responsibilities shifted back toward coding projects which I'm enjoying so much.

My point being, do coding long as you enjoy it. Those skills will still be there when you need them, later in life.

 

I decided to listen to Behind the Insurrections again and this time follow the sources Evans provides but... I can't find any place hosting the podcast episode that has the show notes which allegedly contained the sources?

My wider mission is to find the sources Evans used to build the episode but first I'm looking for a thesis Robert recommends the audience read which provides a summary of the business leaders' perspectives in the time leading up to the Business Plot. This essay, Evans says, is authored by Bradley Galca of the University of Albany.

Searching that name on Google and on DuckDuckGo comes up with nearly no results and nothing relating to the actual author. That is, a few LinkedIn profiles? Not what I'm looking for.

Does anyone here have a better place to search? (I know I don't know how to search anymore now that Google is useless)

And also, does anyone know where the source list for this episode went? Does it still exist on the internet?
