AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I will frick up anybody who downmarseys this. "Frick up" as in you would become the first person on my shitlist ever.

Serious post I got a foid being difficult with me. Apparently I can't read her mind over transcontintel disastances. The only woman I ever loved since before I came to this /r/drama shithole.

!biofoids I love you all but I hold you personally responsible for this situation. (Not even joking I tried to call up one of my best contacts in the country (if you can't guess which one yet you're not paying enough attention.) It's the country I actually care about, because that's where the family I care about live. I would at that name but it's the most prominent trading city in Greece and I think literally 99% of r-slurs here won't get it. I gave you a million clues. Let's just say when I play Jeopardy against my dad it's a challenge. The tard crowd around here who are cumming over themselves becauise they beat Trump or Kamala Harris.

Nearly three years ago @SomeGayFurry wrote Schizoid does meth and posts 100,000 words about how video game characters talk about a schizo Redditor who's interested in analysing patterns in pop culture.

What's interesting about /u/Smack-works is that Redditors fricking love his gigantic nonsensical essays and tell him things like:

Mate you should get this published in an academic journal

and

First of all I just love the energy inherent in an undertaking like this. Your post is massive, and...

and

this is the most intensely organized, well-thought-out and compelling tolkien post i have ever seen.

and

This feels like one of those academic efforts that's just so self-defining that it's basically irrefutable. I think this is an example of humans being good at finding signal in noise.

and

This post is so brilliant, it deserves more attention.

This is a good example of how dumb Redditors truly are - they believe that because a post is long and looks complicated then it must be very intelligent and automatically correct. /u/poppinkream syndrome (he's working overtime at the moment btw. He disappeared for months but now it's election season so he's spewing his gigantic sourced anti-Trump essays far and wide. Don't forget that he's Canadian).

Anyway back to /u/Smack-works. I'll not quote any of his posts, you just need to click and read the tens of thousands of words of absolute nonsense that he's written and then check the comments to see all of the compliments thrown his way. Some choice posts:

• Hades: speech patterns of all characters analysis +544 on /r/HadesTheGame

• The Lord of the Rings books dialogue patterns of 28 characters +388 on /r/tolkienfans - he loves "dialogue patterns of n characters" posting and there are a lot in his post history, covering subjects such as Doctor Who, The Batman and Pirates of the Caribbean.

• Frozen chars dialogue patterns +33 on /r/Frozen - for some reason he sees a lot in common between Harry Potter's Snape and Frozen's Elsa and discusses them in multiple other posts including Uniqueness of Harry, Hermione and Snape

If this doesn't prove American heritage amounts to a obese brown person twerking inside a fast food restaurant idk what does !chuds

: I'll explain what Colonel Sanders has to do with any of this, you scurvy landlubber! He has everything to do with it, because without him there'd be no KFC, and without KFC there'd be no fried chicken, and without fried chicken there'd be no reason for me to be a pirate! So you best be thankful to the good Colonel, or I'll make you walk the plank!

— @goodNews4U

Today's RWBYffortpost is on a legendary goyslop patron saint, somewhat unique among fast food mascots in that he was a real person and also the legitimate founder of the company

But did he actually serve in the military to be called a Colonel? How did he start KFC? And did you know he was actually involved in lawsuits against his very own company later in life?

I wasn't sure about writing an effortpost about a person without it becoming indistinguishable from a regular old encyclopedia entry, so I've decided to prototype a model in which properly dramatic facts about the person are listed off in rough order of date. Such a system should show that the people featured in my posts lived suitably dramatic lives worthy of this website

Learn about the above points and more as we explore the subject of my first such biographical effortpost: none other than Colonel Sanders

Since I couldn't find many rDrama comments that were actually informative about Colonel Sanders and KFC, most of the quotes are here because I thought they were funny

Early Life

I've heard that women can't remember giving birth because it was so traumatic.

I've taken shits like that after kfc and morphine

— @ReeTardyOswald and @WayOut

Harland David Sanders was born on September 9, 1890 east of Henryville, Indiana. He was the oldest of three kids and lost his father at the age of five. From then on he was taught to handle the family cooking while his mother worked and by the age of seven he was learning to cook with meat

And so began the legend

(To the right is the future Colonel Sanders at chicken-seasoning age. Start your kids early )

I saw a native lady come back to KFC and yell at the staff that they served her raw chicken and that her kid could have gotten sick.

The manager asked why she didn't come back sooner instead of eating the whole bucket, which just made her yell louder.

Did You Know That Colonel Sanders: Dropped out of school

Sanders had several step fathers and in particular didn't get along with William Broaddus after his mother's 1902 remarriage and the family's move to Greenwood, Indiana. He also said that seventh grade "algebra's what drove [him] off". For these reasons he dropped out of public school and got his first proper job as a farmhand at the age of 12.

Worked many jobs in his youth (and was briefly in the army)

Like a veritable Jack London, Sanders tried his hand at all kinds of occupations and would do anything he could to sustain himself in his youth. At 13 Sanders left home to paint horse carriages, then to work on another farm.

In 1906 he worked as a streetcar after moving in with his uncle, who worked for the company.

But later that year he falsified his age to enlist in the army. At the time US forces were still stationed in Cuba as an ultimate result of the Spanish-American War, making Sanders a veteran of the on and off Occupation of Cuba. He was honorably discharged in 1907 and would be awarded the Cuban Pacification Medal.

So he really was in the army but was only ever a private

I once went to kfc and recognised a gypsy foid I seen couple years ago who back then was telling she is Syrian but this time she was Ukrainian so I asked her in Ukrainian from what region she did 180 degree move and walked away

— @WeihnachtenSalvador

Sanders' subsequent other jobs include,

Blacksmith's helper in a railway workshop

Cleaning out the ash pans of steam locomotives

And Steam engine stoker until he was allegedly fired for insubordination

He met his first wife Josephine King in 1909 and would have his three children with her.

Delivered babies and practiced law before cooking chicken

For a time Sanders would study law at night while working with trains and living with his growing family, but a brawl with a coworker got him fired and he moved to work at another railroad company. Meanwhile his wife took the kids and lived with her parents.

Sanders went on to practice law in Little Rock, Arkansas (the famous segregation Little Rock ) and his wife came back to him. He was able to practice in the Justice of the Peace Corps because at the time it did not require that lawyers pass the bar.

But he would lose this career after another brawl, this time with his own client As written by biographer John Ed Pearce, "[Sanders] had encountered repeated failure largely through bullheadedness, a lack of self-control, impatience, and a self-righteous lack of diplomacy."

Sanders moved back in with his mother and worked at another railroad

Then briefly sold life insurance.

Then started his first corporate venture, a ferry boat company that actually did well for itself

He also took a job as a secretary at the Chamber of Commerce in Columbus, Indiana but wasn't a good fit for it

For whatever reason Sanders chose to sell the ferry business and started a lamp oil company. This failed after Delco introduced electric lamps to the developing region.

He finally made his move to Kentucky to work as a salesman for the Michelin Tire Company, but lost this job after the plant closed.

In 1924 he met the general manager of Standard Oil of Kentucky and got a position running a service station. This lasted until the station closed in 1930.

Sanders would get his real start in food service after opening a Shell service station in North Corbin, Kentucky. He was also said to have helped deliver babies here. According to his autobiography, "There was nobody else to do it. The husbands couldn't afford a doctor when their wives were pregnant."

Chicken

i hate kfc r-slur

— @Penny

Sanders' very first restaurant was a hole in the wall food stall operated out of his gas station in North Corbin. Having already been cooking his whole life, he started selling fried chicken as well as other meals like country ham and steaks. His local popularity grew, and, in 1939, food critic Duncan Hines visited Sanders's restaurant and included it in Adventures in Good Eating, his guide to restaurants throughout the US.

Corbin, KY. Sanders Court and Café

41 — Jct. with 25, 25 E. ½ Mi. N. of Corbin. Open all year except Xmas.

A very good place to stop en route to Cumberland Falls and the Great Smokies. > Continuous 24-hour service. Sizzling steaks, fried chicken, country ham, hot biscuits. L. 50¢ to $1; D., 60¢ to $1

And around this time in 1935, Sanders was made an honorary Kentucky Colonel by Kentucky Governor Ruby Laffoon — the most well known colonelcy in the United States in part because of Sanders. (US Governors in multiple states can bestow this as an honorific. The origins of this tradition trace back to colonial and antebellum times when wealthy landowners were given the title to commission companies or finance local militias without having to be in the military.) Laffoon was known at the time for handing out a record number of Colonel titles (Other colonels commissioned by Laffoon included Mae West, Shirley Temple, Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, Will Rogers, Fred Astaire, Jean Harlow, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Jack Dempsey and W. C. Fields.) But this didn't make the commission any less legitimate and Sanders would certainly make use of it throughout his life.

Such is the origin of Sanders' famous title, meaning he was technically a private and a colonel

Once had a shootout with a competitor

https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/kfc-colonel-sanders-shoot-out

The colonel was one of the most based men to have ever lived.

— @Fabrico

While running his gas station on Highway 25, Sanders had a large sign painted to direct customers to his station. Business rival Matt Stewart started painting over Sanders' sign, and Sanders would respond by repainting it. This escalated into a shootout in which Stewart killed a Shell employee and was wounded after Sanders returned fire

Sanders was arrested at the scene but had his charges dropped. Stewart went to prison for homicide and suddenly the competition was no more.

Tried to kidnap his own children

At around this time Sanders' relationship with his first wife had deteriorated and he was seeing a mistress, Claudia Ledington-Price, that he would later marry. After getting a very critical letter from his brother-in-law, Sanders came to visit and found all his furniture had been distributed amongst the other in-laws. He felt the need to get back at his wife's family.

The originally dramatic plan was to camp out in the woods until his children came out to play and just take them He eventually thought better of it though and worked out a deal with Josephine. The two divorced after the kids were grown.

@peepeehands

In July of '39 Sanders also acquired a motel in Asheville, North Carolina, but the original service station would be destroyed in a fire. Sanders then built a Corbin motel with a new restaurant inside.

By 1940 and at the age of 50, Sanders had perfected his chicken recipe and started cooking his chicken using a pressure fryer — faster than pan frying but without unacceptable moisture loss. This new technique might have immediately made Sanders money had it not been for America's entry into WWII Gas was rationed and tourism dried up, leading to the closure of the second motel. He went to supervise cafeterias for the government at an ordnance works in Tennessee, followed by a job as assistant cafeteria manager. He left Claudia to manage the original location and waited out the war and immediate post-war economic stagnation until '52, the year the world would be blessed with its first KFC

— @johnnypoop

The original "Kentucky Fried Chicken" opened in South Salt Lake, Utah on the 24th of September, 1952 The restaurant was operated by Pete Harman, who was already known for having the city's most popular eatery. He worked closely with Sanders to develop the franchising concept and would ultimately be able to use the Colonel's recipe in exchange for 4 cents off every chicken sold. His other claims to fame are the development of the bucket packaging and the emphasis on the "Finger-lickin' good" motto.

The name "Kentucky Fried Chicken" was chosen because it seemed exotic in Utah and invoked an air of southern hospitality. Sales more than tripled in the first year with around 75% of total sales coming from fried chicken. Several other restaurant owners would also franchise the concept after Harman's success.

However, this wasn't quite the start of the modern KFC corporation.

Wasn't wildly successful until he was old and grey

Don't quit cos you're 65. Maybe your boat hasn't come in yet. Mine hadn't.

— Colonel Sanders in multiple interviews

For the most part, Sanders still made his living off profits from his original North Corbin restaurant, but at the age of 65 he was forced to sell it after President Eisenhower's new interstate system directed traffic away from his once prominent location. He was left with only his savings, social security payments, and the small amount of money gained from those early franchisees. With nothing else to turn to, Sanders devoted himself to expanding his food sales by incorporating Kentucky Fried Chicken. He traveled the country in his '46 Ford trying to sign up as many restaurant owners as he could.

Though he'd started dressing the part with his trademark white suit and bleached facial hair, the Colonel wasn't yet famous outside of a few Kentucky circles. He spent nights in his car and did all the legwork himself, to the point of personally cooking the chicken in demonstrations with potential business partners. Sanders' autobiography mentions hundreds of restaurant visits and that he was usually turned down, but more and more franchisees gradually signed on as the '50s continued.

Fun Fact: One of the franchisees was Dave Thomas, the eventual founder of Wendy's Thomas developed the rotating red bucket sign, was an early advocate of the take-out concept that Harman had pioneered, and introduced a bookkeeping form that Sanders rolled out across the entire KFC chain

Another was John Wayne Gacy

I've seen Taco Bell and KFC and I've seen A&W and KFC. Does there exist a mythical PizzaHut/TacoBell/KFC/A&W?

— @RWBY

When KFC finally took off, it took off. By 1960 there were about 200 franchised restaurants. By '63 there were over 600, making it the largest fast food chain in the nation at the time. KFC was notably the first and biggest fast food chain to focus on chicken, or really, anything besides hamburgers. In the meantime Sanders had grown into something of an icon, and was now making five cents for every chicken sold

He was even considered as a potential running mate for George Wallace's 1968 Presidential Campaign. (He ultimately chose Curtis LeMay)

Mascot and Icon

People just don't have lives like this anymore

— /r/todayilearned

However, KFC's unprecedented expansion had become too much for the Colonel to manage. In 1964 and at the age of 73, Sanders sold KFC to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown Jr. and Jack C. Massey. The deal stipulated that he would remain a salaried brand ambassador and quality control consultant. He also retained ownership of Canadian operations.

In '65 he and Claudia moved to Mississauga, Ontario. The Colonel actually spent the rest of his life there as a leaf

Was Drama-Pilled

It's not even a secret [Jersh] () once talked openly on the podcast about how if you stalked the KFC near Belgrade university you'd see him pretty quick

— @BFBugleberry

For the most part the Colonel spent his old age being dramatic and enjoying his status. He remained (and still is) a living icon of the company and would travel over 200,000 miles a year on the company's behalf while also filming advertisements of all kinds. He was happy to play the part of a southern gentleman, though he could also be a shit-stirrer

Apparently whenever Sanders traveled with blacks in the south, he would go out of his way to open doors for them just to mess with people. In one instance when traveling with a company spokesman, someone asked the man who he was to have the Colonel open doors for him. Sanders replied something to the effect of, "He's my son, but we don't talk about it."

The Colonel loved pulling surprise inspections of restaurants and would become infuriated if the food wasn't up to his standards. He was fond of throwing food on the floor and swearing at employees. At times he would barge into the kitchen and insist on showing the cooks how the chicken should have been cooked.

He hated the "extra crispy" recipe in particular since it wasn't an invention of his. As other chicken chains began to emerge, KFC created it to compete with places that used a traditional batter instead of a flour dredge. Sanders never forgave corporate for it In an article published by the Louisville Courier-Journal on October 8, 1975, he told journ*list Dan Kauffman:

My God, that gravy is horrible. They buy tap water for 15 to 20 cents a thousand gallons and then they mix it with flour and starch and end up with pure wallpaper paste. And I know wallpaper paste, by God, because I've seen my mother make it. ... There's no nutrition in it and they ought not to be allowed to sell it. ... [The] crispy [fried chicken] recipe is nothing in the world but a darn fried doughball stuck on some chicken.

Eventually came to hate KFC and was involved in lawsuits

Most maulings are done by ghetto trash guard dogs owned by hoodrats. These have about as much relation to a proper pitbull as the the current slop KFC serves has to the Colonel's original golden recipe.

— @911roofer

KFC was acquired by Heublein Inc. in 1971. They actually sued Sanders over his comments in interviews and because he and his wife had opened a new restaurant, "The Colonel's Lady's Dinner House", and were considering expanding it.

The Colonel won this and countersued over the use of his image in products he hadn't developed.

This ain't no goddam Tennessee Fried Chicken, no matter what some slick, silk-suited son-of-a-b-word says

-- Sanders following the move of corporate headquarters to Nashville, Tennessee

The two sides settled out of court, with Sanders receiving $1 million and a chance to give a cooking lesson to Heublein executives in return for his promise to stop criticizing Kentucky Fried Chicken's food. The Colonel's new restaurant would not be franchised though it remained and still remains open as the Claudia Sanders Dinner House. It is the only establishment besides KFC legally allowed to use Sanders' original recipe.

The Colonel would remain an active and well traveled figure until the end of his days. He is said to have only worn his trademark white suit for the last twenty years of his life for all public appearances and never dropped the character even after leaving KFC. He also continued making surprise inspections of random KFCs until '79. He was also a Freemason

He died in 1980 at the age of 90. His body was laid in state in the rotunda of the Kentucky State Capitol after a funeral attended by over 500 people. A memorial service held at KFC's headquarters was also attended by over 1,000 people. By that time there were over 6,000 KFC outlets in operation

Once cursed a Japanese baseball team

There's a KFC and Dominos Pizza a few miles from Bin Ladens secret compound in Pakistan. His neighbors could have been eating halal thin crust pizza while Navy SEALS raided the house next door. These places have infinite reach (US Goyslop Forces) .

-- @Yakub

The Colonel's continuous status as an icon and mascot hardly needs explaining, so I'll end this post on a fun example of it. The Curse of the Colonel states Sanders put a hex on the Hanshin Tigers after the baseball team's joyous fans celebrated a 1985 championship by tossing his statue, taken from a local Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, into an Osaka river. They appeared in the Japan Series three more times and lost in 2003, 2005 and 2014.

The statue was retrieved in 2009, but it wasn't until 2023 that The Hanshin Tigers finally won their first Japan Series title in 38 years.

Henlo freinds! Here is the second part of my fanfiction of lappland being raped behind a dumpster

!rapists can you please upvote and rate five starts and comment4comment!

It's okay. The love I had faded once we had our fun together. I don't like lying. Dishonesty is just something I can't support. I should've looked a little more, I'd have found your secret. But you can't trust the people you love. You were just wearing a mask, all the greetings and talking about your day wasn't real. The hair, the face, the chest, everything two-faced and a lie. I thought your face was wide open but it was all closed up and hidden so I had to make a scar in it, a mark of where it should've been split.

I was in my car, far part of the lot sitting in the darkness, I was late. Felt sorry. Clients always want specific times so I couldn't help it. Didn't even get to eat. I was famished. Then I saw you.

YOU. Walking outside with a ten gallon bag with the normal sway of your supple and tight hips being suppressed by your struggle, turned into a slow backwards drag of the black mass along the rocky asphalt. I felt anger at an angel from above getting filthy filling a dumpster. Anger seeing your pretty hands handle the sticky residue, anger at how you swing with the full weight of the bag to try getting it airborne.

And God you were in that dark area trying to fit them in the compactor, finally picking them up like an atlas stone of rubbish to the chest and caressing its bottom to get over the edge. I remembered though, the words "Sorry I'm not wanting one" go through my head over and over.

I opened my door and slithered out, slow to close it.

I thought we were similar. You  seemed lonely, never talkative. Even at those little events but I was wrong. Lie after lie after lie. You never told me why either. I can guess, not everyone is a model but it'd be nicer if you were direct. Didn't hide it, just say what you mean. I've dealt with worse.

You didn't notice, I wonder how you would have acted if you saw it coming, would you have smiled? Would it have been genuine or a feign for your discomfort, another mask you slip onto a mask already on a mask. Maybe you weren't so happy because you didn't know it was me at first but seeing me would have made you happy, that you wanted it real bad but were shy and this was a nice place.

Wanting it rough with a push into the compactor and a rag right against your mouth as my other arm felt along your body, tracing with my hand along your elegant thin hips and grabbing along. A bit of the thin thighs, some more of the hip and some playful squeezes of your pert ass.

I heard your groans and little cries as I circled my finger around your inner thigh, drawing circles and shell spirals in its dry sands.

But when I squeezed you down there, grabbing along your crouch I didn't feel any firmness. Nothing. The beach was wet and it was smooth along that mound. You kept squirming and shaking and crying and more while I felt myself go blank.

I was the fool.

You made me so.

I grappled at your belt while you still kept shaking like a wet dog until I managed to free your pants from their constraint and further your panties. White boxer looking ones and I kept until finally your ass glistened under the moon. I could feel the tears of your face mimic my soul as I felt from your stomach down again, the smooth curve and the slight wetness of your slit. You could feel as I moved away from you, I died down quick.

You were a girl.

I said that and you tensed a bit, let the rag a little loose to let you speak. More cries and asking me not to hurt you in little whispers but you danced around it and rubbed me like a kitten for attention.

I gently brought you down as you finally knew your role in our dance.

You have me a burbling yesh and some more streamed tears as you let yourself be gently led down near the metal beast with me atop. My knee was hitting your crouch from how I knelt over you, my arm holding down yours.

But seeing you sprawled around, your legs moving and shifting under my weight as they still refused to concede, wrapping around and loosening my legs like you were trying to simultaneously pull me in and flee. I pinned you with just one arm and used the other to prepare us both. It wasn't long, they were quick thrusts and I felt your wet, sticky face with that hand, trying to caress your cheek. Your little cries turned to silence by the end of the first minute. After the tenth you looked sort of dead, at least inside, eyes halfway open looking glazy like a doped fish, puffy from the tears. I didn't see the need to bring protection with me since normally I don't need them, you're not my type. This real you isn't my type, at least. You're so thin with your ribs sticking out that I thought I could see it poke from the stomach. Being that thin means it should be safe for you. I overheard that it makes your type have period issues. I think it's safe. You never leave home now so I don't know. I started to get up, leaving, letting you hit the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur.

Steven van de Velde, the Dutch beach volleyball player who served time in prison for having s*x with a 12-year-old girl, received a mixture of boos and applause when he was introduced before losing his opening match on Sunday at the Paris Olympics.

Dutch team spokesman John van Vliet said the decision to shelter Van de Velde was made by the national Olympic committee and shared with the International Olympic Committee. Asked if they were protecting a convicted child male feminist, he said: "We are protecting a convicted child male feminist to do his sport as best as possible and for a tournament which he qualified for."

!lgbt !cuteandvalid Why are the straggots at the Dutch Olympic Committee supporting this guy? Don't they have any non-p-do men they could send to the Olympics? Are the IOC trying to normalise this?

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Not sure if this is something we should joke about. it makes us look as bad as them. hate the man, but I don't wish him to be assassinated. This should concern us all. it was a horrible lapse by our secret service and raises a lot of questions. Just because he wasn't hit for a more dramatic injury doesn't take away what happened that day. Very sad day for America. I hate to think where this coutry would be if he got killed that day. They would have lost there shit, and war would be in the streets. Maga is just itching for a reason. (3)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Millions of deaths to Covid-19 that easily could've been avoided.Several CIA informants killed or missing after he sells/misplaces information/documents.Incited an insurrection in an attempt to steal the election, with threats to hang his VP, where people were injured, one traitor acting in his name was put down, and several defenders of the Capitol died from stress and depression brought on by the physical assault against our freedom.Dead man in a crowd at his rally, brain blown out his skull, and a couple others wounded.And he claims he was shot, after some performative WWE tricks that the Hall-of-Famer remembered would make it look convincing in the moment, in an attempt to garner sympathy votes. No scar, wound, evidence of any damage to him.Too many people have died because of this man's ignorance, arrogance, lies, greed, and conceit. The orange traitor needs to meet justice, and there's only one fitting form of justice for treason and murder. (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

In what context is him getting shot funny or something to mock? Because people don't like him? You sure as heck wouldn't be laughing it was anyone else you didn't hate. And your justification saying you absolutely can decide which form of gun violence is ok is so darn ignorant. Wonder if you'd make that same claim if it was someone you knew getting shot at (1)

I'm sorry, but "Some violence is okay and other violence is not okay" is one of the principles society is built on. We as a society decide it all the time. It's why boxers don't go to jail for assault when they beat people up in the ring and why cops rarely face disciplinary action for shooting people in the line of duty. It's why you can be detained for resisting arrest even if you aren't violent. It's even why doctors can detain you under some circumstances. If that's not a principle you can accept as baked into the fabric of every society that humans have ever created then I'm not sure what I can do for you. -- (1)

backstory: two months ago, a guy named Sony Piers who's an incredibly well respected open source developer was randomly ousted from the GNOME foundation, and they decided not to tell anybody until like 5 days ago.

The GNOME Foundation Board voted to remove Sonny Piers as a member of the Board of Directors for cause, at a Special Meeting on May 17th, 2024, following the procedure outlined in the GNOME Bylaws, and remove him from all committees. Effective May 25th, 2024, his seat is now vacant, and in accordance with the Bylaws will be filled for the remainder of its term by an appointment made by the Board.

A Code of Conduct complaint was also made against Sonny Piers. The Foundation is engaged in a mediation process with him, which is still ongoing and so we are unable to share more information at this time.

Obviously, people were incredibly pissed.

I'm not happy with the lack of communication and transparency from the Board to the wider community, as well as the poor execution for creating an account and posting something completely vague and uninformative. The majority of us are still completely unaware of the internal affairs and conflicts between the Board and Sonny Piers. We don't even know why he was removed, let alone what happened... Code of Conduct complaints are usually not made public at all (for good reason), so I find it even more suspicious that the Code of Conduct complaint against Sonny Piers was made public. In my opinion, mentioning the Code of Conduct complaint was only used to justify removing him, so that the community would support the decision; not to use it as a learning process and enforce the Code of Conduct, i.e. it was done in bad faith.

EBUSSY REPLIES

Hari, I hope you realise[sic] that code of conduct violations never have a public explanation in order to protect all the parties involved—both as a privacy aspect and as a liability one. You will never receive an explanation, unless you are one of the parties involved. Any other reading of this is, at best, naive, and at worst conspiratorial.

Nothing of value is said until the director of the GNOME foundation, Robert McQueen, steps in and makes a statement

I wont bore you with the entire longpost , so heres the juicy part

We took outside legal advice on the situation and the process at multiple points, and it was duly followed. For the purposes of limiting legal liability, that advice also included making the announcement very terse and factual. I appreciate this is at tension with the transparency that the community would hope to see, but Directors are also obligated to look after the Foundation's legal requirements and financial interests.

LEGAL? I also want to mention that we still dont know why he was removed from the board, and to be honest, unless there's pending litigation, i don't think we ever will. Sonny posted on his blog later that day and was less than willing to leak why he got booted.

Word starts spreading around the linux community, and ebussy come in to clean it up

Okay, since we're seeing this topic brigaded by a bunch of new accounts that have nothing better to do than being edgelords on the Internet, I'm activating slow mode.

PART 2: he who shall not be named

During this shitstorm, a controversial tech blogger named Brian Lunduke wrote a piece about the ousting. Some of you may know him from his yearly "Linux Sucks" talks, others may know him for being a big chud This obviously pisses off the GNOME foundation, which, like most FOSS organizations, is left wing

his reputation precedes him

enter Mark Wagie. Wagie is, ironically, a non-paid GNOME developer. He's the Manjaro Team Core Member, and the GNOME package maintainer for manjaro. During the shit storm, he posted a link to Lunduke's article about the ouster.

One hour later, the post was jannied , and he was BANNED

The maintainer of manjaro gnome (which isn't exactly small) had his account banned just for posting in this thread.

He was banned as far as I can tell for sharing an article from Bryan Lunduke (which is as usual, unnecessarily inflammatory). I think a removal is entirely fair and warranted - I do not have enough information about this person to know if a ban was as I don't have more information than that. I'm not aware of other posts.

ebussy makes a second appereance

Posting naked links to content from Lunduke is an immediate ban on GNOME forums, GitLab, and chat, because there can't be no discussion. We don't control what people who watch that kind of content do on other websites, so they are absolutely free to be terrible elsewhere; we just don't allow them to be terrible here.

There has been no other ban or removal of posts in this topic, even for people questioning the integrity of the board of directors and the code of conduct committee—something that I'd caution about, incidentally.

ebussy and some new user engage in a slap fight, refusing to let either have the last word. (authors note: ebussy is french, therefore he's genetically incapable of letting someone have the last word)

(second authors note: the above was apart of the main thread, until ebussy split it into a new topic. as far as im aware, the original thread is still up and replies are still open )

The moral of the story? just tell people to use KDE.

!codecels

Whoever made that useless piece of shit bot is fricking embarrassing, do the mods hire 12 year old's to code that shit? fricking pathetic butt comments that aren't funny just straight cringey and embarrassing, what a disservice that bot does to this site. Literally I believe snappy causes mass shooters to snap and commit atrocities because who the frick could live knowing that comment snappy made existed? Truly a dumb butt mod decision, you should be fricking embarrassed of yourselfs for ever thinking that was a good idea.

I'd rather scroll on reddit politics and read every single comment until I die then have to endure another shit butt comment from snappy, frick whoever decided to make that account, I hope you end up getting skinned by the cartel for it dumb butt

Photo is obviously pre coop entry

But omg they were SO HAPPY and they somehow knew to stop attacking my hands when the corn was gone and wait for more

Who knew chickens weren't r-slurred

Should I get a chicken coop

I know incel, but why does almost everything here end in "cel"?

Codecel, WPDcel, etc.

What does it mean?

Codecels = Code-s*x-havers?
