Yah, LF, what I remember best about LF is BABY FINLAND getting owned all the time, yeah.do you remember the pants guy. the guy lf bought pants for
sure
what was the big deal with that againi bought him pantaloons with my goon discover card...
i never understood all the complaining about that because if you can afford to give charity then you shouldnt really be upset about it how its spent or whatever, youve given it away and so its not your money anymore
so so much of LF was nerdy paternalist fantasies from losers and perverts but thats what you get when you are Mad about Politics i guess

certum est quia impossibile
the complaining was that goons gave over one thousand dollars to one fat loser who blew it in the span of a week, instead of any of the dozens of better sources

$1200 is like not even a lot of money especially since i think it was for interview clothes wasnt it? like it seemed like totally reasonable what he was buying but it wasnt anyones business in the first place

$1200 is a lot of money to spend on clothes
that might just be the fact that i'm subject to the same treatment so often talking, though

it wasn't a scam so much as people threw a bunch of money to someone who admitted they didn't know how to manage money, who in turn wasted the money on 5 pairs of expensive new khakis that will be useless if he ever gained/lost weight. that in itself wasn't really the funny part imho so much as the subsequent posts by people who said that it doesn't matter that the money was poorly used, all that matters is that they threw money at the problem & aziz continuing his "first world poor are not proletariat and deserve no pity" schtick with no sense of irony.
oh ok. thats really at best just a little amusing i guess considering the absurd hypocrisy of leftism and politics generally but it did take like two years or whatever for me to get it
