      Iirc, he had a bunch. I seem to remember reading he used a different one depending on where he was at the moment which sounds like a pants-on-head thing so it’s probably true?

        Okay here’s my alternate explanation: I spend a lot of time on youtube, brainwashed by their censorship. Are you satisfied now?

          sticking an asterisk in place of one letter doesn’t mean you aren’t still just saying it, it’s like when people upload movie scenes to youtube where someone gets shot in the head but they blur the gun like that makes it not still just a scene of someone getting shot. if it’s too difficult to say “porn” and “fucking,” there are other terms for those things. saying them and pretending an asterisk makes it different just comes across as being too immature to even being talking about it in the first place.

                It’s an amazing book, but I don’t think that the comparison here works. There’s a difference in a powerful power structure that’s using language to manipulate a population (people have a lot to say about the newspeak and 2+2=5, but can’t see the forest for the trees) and a person on a web forums choosing not say fuck. Let the person choose how they want to communicate. The only one here forcing their rules are the ones who are saying they SHOULD say fuck rather than f*ck

              I find it fascinating that people arbitrarily substitute letters for wildcards.

              It’s wrong to associate innocent things like child corn and kid hucking with Elon Musk and Jeffrey Epstein.

                It is fascinating. I’m not gonna force them to change the way they speak if they choose not to tho. At the end of the day, I knew what they meant, and it matches what their intentions are, then communication has happened. It’s a casual setting after all, not gonna die on this hill.

                Note that the rules change depending on context. This is just to casual a space for forcing people to say one thing or another.

            Tbf, “porn” isn’t really the appropriate word to begin with. Porn implies that all parties were consenting and consentable. CSAM is a much more fitting term.

              No it fucking doesn’t. If you knew how much porn lacked those qualities, you would hurl.

              If it is so insignificant, then learn to use the proper words. Otherwise, if the real world scares you, then stay at home with your mommy, she will protect you.

                This is fucking rich. Yes it’s insignificant. You’re bending yourself out of shape because other people’s choice not to say certain words offend you. I hope someday you’ll see that. Just let people make their choice. You already called them out that you don’t like it, they don’t have to follow you, tough tits.

          “I didn’t realize people could just use a wildcard in place of a letter. We weren’t prepared for that at all. I don’t know how we’ll restructure our search but this is huge.” an anonymous FBI agent stated.

                  There is an unfortunate (for you) answer to it. It’s grifters exploiting you, empowering your paranoia and patern seeking brain to destroy your grasp on reality, so they can continue feeding on you and everyone else with impunity.
                  While you’re looking for clues of imaginary conspiracy, real conspirators are not even hiding, and you’re doing their bidding, willingly, actively.

              Because they are talking about their own actual intent to do it, whereas we are just talking about that incident. Also someone close by might see their email over their shoulder.
