doa knows exactly where the line is, and aaron just doesn't. blame his scientology upbringing i guess.
December 6, 2025 at 9:40 PM
but he has made an enemy out of scott hochstetter, a bipolar paid-protester type of guy. scott is known as 'doa' (defender of ants which is sovereign citizen crap), and he escalates any situation he's in.

but doa doesn't do 6 weeks in jail bc even though doa is very dumb he is smarter than that.

these aren't batteries like punching ppl out or anything, but it's still against thte law, and aaron likes to push the boundaries.

there is of course the video of aaron throwing a woman to the ground in front of a cvs. and the news story of him punching someone at a bar.

well the film inside the floppy itself is original. like archive.org they keep originals so it gives them a right to a digital copy.

they keep books all sealed up in cargo containers etc.

i guess all media atrophies, and i didn't know that dvds were so fragile

zelensky in ireland: "A peace without humiliation and based on something truly real."

again talking about the humiliation, it's ego.
December 6, 2025 at 11:41 AM
no, zelensky was talking about being forced to accept a humiliating peace, meaning the loss of land etc.

do you read the news
December 6, 2025 at 11:38 AM
i dunno, zelensky is the one talking about it being a national humiliation, so it seems like ego is involved

ukraine doesn't have to officially give up the land, they can try to get it back in the diplomatic process. it won't happen any time soon and their maps can still show it as ukraine even if other maps don't.

he suggests that grand masters can't be well rounded people because of their devotion to the game
December 6, 2025 at 3:22 AM
he compares the top-level chess players to alcoholics who cannot help themselves but obsess about it

there's something ugly about the interview, a normie picking on non-normies
