They took down the gofundme. He’s got a bit of an online footprint that’s being actively picked over. Apparently, he got picked up in Pennsylvania, for “being weird”, presumably from staying awake most of the last week. . So far he has not said anything. Whatever manifesto they got him with has not made the rounds, and frankly I’m not overly enthused about getting ahold of it, but yeah., If I have an excess of time and money in the coming seasons . We’ll be hearing from him and helping Mr. Mangione out.
Like I said, extensive online footprint that is being picked over as we speak. I saw a LinkedIn profile that has since been deleted, but of course it was screenshot. People disappear in a lot of the important ways when they go to prison, but we’ll do what we can.
We don’t have to call everybody who works with code a “tech bro”. He seems like a perfectly normal and relatable person.
But I’ve been saying that and being downvoted for it for years.
If anything it sounded like he wanted to be a game dev and gave up on it (probably because it actually kind of sucks as a cog in a AAA company) and that sounds like a ton of people I know.
The serious back injury would explain the hard turn his life made.
Also, if you really want to hate the insurance companies, it’s easy: get surgery in America. I thought his rage was from a friend who wasnt rich enough for cancer treatments; here it’s a bad skiing accident and the years of bill negotiation that pushed him over the edge.
But that could be me in the same situation. I have a back injury that is never going to improve, but its progress is slowed by proper care and lots of help. A bad turn if I was American and even my good tech job wouldn’t be enough. At-will state and I’m laid-off like that, no job means no coverage, no coverage means I sell my everything for anything. Ich bin copaybacker.
Human interaction is important. One of the problems with capitalism is the commodification of that human interaction (or what that human interaction used to provide for free). Really only the last point diverges, but it is somewhat related in that a shared set of activities can bring forth positive human interactions (e.g. progressive movements have come up or gained momentum from church gatherings, see the civil rights movement in the US).
I’ve very suspicious of how all this info about him is being brought to me.
…and placed at your feet?
What client are you using, that sounds surreal.
I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I’m referring to how he’s being presented as a techbro and not a tech worker or how I learned he came from a rich family before I learned he has chronic back pain.
You only say he is relatable because he wanted to kill a rich guy who profited by being terrible.
I worked in Tech Startups, not in the Valley but in London UK, and the Tech Bros aren’t the Techies, they’re the Founders and nowadays (unlike back in the 90s when I also was in the Industry) Founders are generally not Techies but rather people from a salesmanship-heavy background (so Finance types, Marketing types and so on).
Blaming Techies for the shit from Tech Bros is just profound ignorance, since the mindset that make a person good at coding (such as attention to detail and favoring precisision and clarity) are the very opposite of the Tech Bro behaviour (promising the impossible, weaving fantastic stories about Tech and making broad and vague claims about how Society works and what Tech can do).
Maybe you relate to people who went to a $40k/year private high school. I certainly don’t. I even interned as a math teacher at such a school.
Try getting kids to study algebra when they just missed 2 months of school on a vacation with their parents backpacking through Europe.
Family supposedly owns a country club. Prominent baltimore family. If that is so, that is definitely up there in the capitalist class and not working class. Still was rooting for him. Just would have been alot cooler if was a working class guy.
Working class people can’t get time off work to do their assassinations. If they could the world would be a better place.
Nope. He still didn’t do it. I don’t care what links I have shoved in my face. This guy didn’t do it.
If he didn’t. He is fixing to be even more wealthy. Like its some kind of big PR move and he already has a screenplay ready to sell.
I want to live in an America where this guy specifically goes free and then later gets rich off of a book titled something like “If I Did It, This Was Why”
Side note, The Back Mechanic really helped me.
Years of chiropractic didn’t fix shit. Couple weeks following that book? Huge improvement.
Thats awesome!
Unfortunately I’m not suprised chiropracics didn’t help, it’s rooted in complete bunk pseudoscience, which is frustrating when they take money from people who really need help with chronic pain or other ailments
I’m really glad you were able to find your solution, back issues are miserable
Anecdotal, but I know someone who has back problems and goes to a back quacker once a week and it does help him.
Would I go to one? Probably not, I would rather have someone walk on my back to pop those hard to crack spots, like the upper back, instead of risk internal decapitation because some jackass got a certificate online.
My understanding is that some chiropractors have adapted to methods that will actually help people and reconciled chiropractics with what they’ve found works, but the theory behind chiropractics is still fundamentally pseudo science. Like if you go look it up it’s genuinely ridiculous and makes no sense.
If someone is debating going to a chiropractor they’d almost certainly be at least as well served by going to a physical therapist instead.
That being said, the financial experience and experience of being cared for might be a meaningful difference between the two, I’m not sure. My impression is that a lot of pseudoscientific medical interventions have draw because they often treat people like human beings in a way that our medical system is dystinctly bad at.
Ultimately, I’m glad your friend is getting what they need, regardless of where they’re getting it :) people deserve access to meaningful help with the problems affecting their lives
Going to get weekly adjustments isn’t a solution, it’s somebody taking your money.
You want a quality physiotherapist not a chiropractor. This is what much of the rest of the world does without marketing.
The guy who invented chiropracty literally claims that an alien angel taught it to him.
Soon you are only allowed to buy an AR15 provided that you are in perfect health.
Well, it all makes too much sense now.
There were rumours being spread that he’s insane.
It all seems very logical to me.
