Journal by aristarchus

Yet another aristarchus submission has met it's appointed fate. Nothing surprising, but, there was a non-blank rationale field, highly unusual!

We're sorry, your submission "This online comic shows how pick-up artists morphed into the alt-right" was declined for the following reason:
All hail the Supreme Gentleman! -takyon

The editors felt it inappropriate for them to correct the issue themselves. Please feel free to correct the issue yourself and resubmit.

Of course, I think the entire point was that these are no Gentleman, and the Red Pillars need to get themselves over to The Art of Manliness website. And apparenty, this includes one of our more prolific editors? Cause for pause, Soylentils! What are we part of, here!

    can I go to any of the universities, to take courses in toxic masculinity? I think I've got it down pat, but I might learn something new, if I take the time to do the courses.

    You can't go to universities and take classes in anything else.

      Just because any self-respecting university would deny admission to Runaway, that does not mean others would not be allowed to take classes.

        One can still take courses without being admitted as a student, is it not so?

          So far as I know, Auditing classes is a normal thing throughout. It's cheaper, but you don't get any of the credit.

        come to Sherbrooke University, we speak French but we still teach proper science and the raving mad feminist do not have a stronghold on the campus, mostly thanks to ours sexy women in marketing. those gals are clever, funny, hardcore party people on Thursday night and they outnumber the social "scientists". I never thought the day of thanking the marketing people for anything would have ever come but here we are now

    You have nothing left to learn about toxic masculinity.

    Now what you want to do is volunteer to be a nude model for one of the art classes. #toxic

              But then buzzy boy wouldn't be special and get to know which AC is which. Dictators don't share power.

                It's more that it's too easy to build a rainbow table of all IPv4 addresses and nearly instantly know where every AC is coming from. We don't want that being public information for corporations and government entities to exploit at will.

                I do have some ideas in mind though. Per-story hashes with AC IPIDs as keys that displays an index number instead of the IPID should maintain anonymity quite effectively while making it easy to tell one from another and fast to render. I want to roll it around in my head a bit more and talk it over with other staff before I start coding on something like that though.

                as I. said an. idea is worthless without implementation so if you want to share power (even if I personally think that you don't use it) feel free to take credit, also hash the ip that don't return a dns record with a secret salt.
