"my apartment building used to require coins for the washer and dryer. Like normal. But about a year or so ago they switched them so now you have to load money onto an app and using the app, scan the QR code on the machine and turn it on that way. this came with some major problems. since the machine"
"For a period of several weeks in 1966, Kaczynski experienced intense sexual fantasies of being female and decided to undergo gender transition. He arranged to meet with a psychiatrist, but changed his mind in the waiting room and discussed other things instead, without disclosing his original reason"
"shooter's last reddit post a few months ago was on there"
"He then immediately leaps into a conversation while still stood in the nude about Ted Kaczynski and how I killed him because when there were rumours that he'd died some months before his actual death I'd changed my discord username to Dead Kaczynski. He gushes breathlessly about how he thinks Ted wa"
"I'm not even a Geico customer, and I can't login to the app because I don't have a Geico policy number etc. I can feel my Ted-beard growing in."
"Everyone gets mad when you forget to call her Doctor Jill Biden But these same people never treat Doctor Theodore Kaczynski with the same reverence!"
"A mix of weirdly sterile urban centres, Leave it to Beaver-esque suburbs and small Kaczynski-style towns."
"Despite the west elm Caleb drama airing out on this sub, I'd like to voice my support for all the queens around the world giving Ted K a proper reading. So instead of banding together to get your hinge dates fired from their gay jobs, get on tik tok and help make anarcho-primitivism great again"
"Our boy is a perfectly good verbal communicator, but he doesn't strike me as having much of a 'literary sensibility' (as even Ted Kaczynski did). Probably the closest he comes to a powerful turn of phrase is at the end of his Kaczynski review: '"Violence never solved anything" is a statement uttered"
"Was this publicly said when he died a few years ago? I could have sworn it was presented at the time as a medical issue/old age?"
"Pray it is theirs and not Ted Kaczynski's thought that formulates the resistance to tech."
"There's a beautiful american sycamore tree I can see out my bedroom window, I've known it my whole life. It's the biggest tree in the area, so tall and stately, it's an essential part of my personal little skyline. Well for the past few hours, starting earlier today, they have been chopping it down."
"If I fully believed that ChatGPT was at risk of becoming god I would probably go full Ted K., or at least like 60s hippie level ecoterrorist."
"He wasn't a fucking Ted K who inspite of his recognized genius was a massive weirdo and malajusted creep. This guy was one of the cool kids."
"I essentially live as Uncle Ted, on a farm on some backroad with guns and a real hatred for The Man. I like bowhunting and fly fishing, I raise chickens and goats, living that homestead life."
"A semi-related Ted Kaczynski quote: 'Art forms that appeal to modern leftish intellectuals tend to focus on sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an orgiastic tone, throwing off rational control as if there were no hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation and all that "
"I was like, ok, seems a little much that people celebrate him here but fair. Maybe the media exaggerated how evil he was or something."
"There is no insight to his work. Yes, he acknowledges alienation exists but so do literally hundreds of philosophers and they do it with much more poise than the Unabomber, actually presenting tangible solutions or otherwise a bare-minimum of actual insight. The Unabomber manifesto is an incomprehen"
"Ted Kaczynski (PBUH) made an excellent point in his manifesto when he said that corrupt authoritarian states are actually really fun to live under because you can still do banned things--it just becomes way funner."
"Then asks what is the first sentence of Ted Kaczynski's manifesto. "What does America First mean to you?" Asks about my thoughts on race mixing."
"Naturally, this story can be critiqued to pieces by the techno-optimists and cynics. 'Kids still do that.' 'Rose-colored lenses.' Whatever. This was a genuine life. When I was a kid I worked on my uncle's dairy farm during the summers."
"Those mfs turn into Ted Kaczynski when the subject of AI is so much as mentioned."
"This is total war against history and time. So much time had passed through the old windows; all this time lies chopped up in the garden, a little heap of sad wreckage, gone for ever. This is my Ted K moment. This is my 9/11"
"At the risk of sounding like a massive larper (known big no no in rsp), we need a new Ted (not me though) to start mailing in tree bark letters and blowing up coal plants."
"A ripped American folk hero who is *also* a chronically online Lindyman tweeting, Kacynski-reading nerd (who may or may not have been suffering a psychotic episode). You couldn't invent a better wish fulfilment fantasy for the men who hang out here"
"I haven't lost yet, and all my peers and professors all think I'm smart and woke when I talk about the power process and how contemporary left wing movements are held back by slave morality"
"Just wondering how deep the Kaczynski fandom goes on this sub."
"Add in the fact a lot of it is deliberate misinformation, clickbait, and things deployed specifically to play with your emotions and worries, I understand how it can be genuinely distressing for some people to be following it. Ofc I think this is more a symptom of mass media and the internet as it's"
"I'm not on some Ted K shit. I don't *hate* technology or modern society. I just wish things stopped at like 2005 or whatever."
"My friend is doing "based" funko pops based on historical figures like Oscar pistorius, dylan klebold, and Julian assange and Donald Trump."
"not a particularly original thinker in anprim/anarchist literature (copied most of his ideas from Jacques Ellul) - undermined the truth of his beliefs by becoming a bombcel - could have been a trans icon but too scared to transition - shot/poisoned dogs near his cabin for no reason - poor personal h"
"I don't really think that Ted sent bombs in the mail in order to spread a philosophical message. I think that he was just deeply frustrated with his life and he used the advancement of a certain philosophical position as a post-hoc noble justification for what he was going to do anyway. In particula"
"Our last meeting was last night, we read Ted Kacynski (the Unabomber). We are currently deciding what to read next, feel free help us decide. Our readings are all 15 pages max, and we upload PDFs so no one has to buy any books."
"is the Ted way the way to go? as some 'great' resistance fighter who's work is romanticized by a bunch of suicidal teens decades later."

"Ted Kaczynski (PBUH) made an excellent point in his manifesto when he said that corrupt authoritarian states are actually really fun to live under because you can still do banned things--it just becomes way funner."
"Then asks what is the first sentence of Ted Kaczyns"
"In honor of Ted K, a simple description about a world I once knew that no longer exists."
"Just wondering how deep the Kaczynski fandom goes on this sub."
"Our last meeting was last night, we read Ted Kacynski (the Unabomber)."
"Guys on Twitter and other places that joke about how unhinged and esoteric they are and then it's just...memes about the unabomber and some references to David Lynch films"
