melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Don't even get the comparison. Beyond Barker not having any allegations as far as I know their writing styles aren't all that similar. 000
melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There's both a wider, more abstract issue at hand with Geller but then there's the actual case itself and it feels that you can't honor one without doing something at least kinda shitty to the other. 000
melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 03/10/2026See, never said he should keep his platform. It's just doing this when we don't even know if the actual victim wanted it public in the first place. Just as I don't think we should also make her come public. It's why the Jane Doe in Cornell deserves her privacy. It's ultimately her own decision. 200
melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Which is the dilemma ultimately. On one hand the public deserves to know on the other this may be re-traumatizing the actual victim. We won't know until she makes a public statement and even that can ultimately make her mental state worse. 010
melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Exactly. Ultimately it's her story and I don't wanna talk for her. Geller is absolutely guilty but the only opinion on what should happen with him is ultimately her decision. I count that above even my own opinion. 200
melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Either way you're entitled to redemption and rehabilitation. You are not entitled to a career. Geller can still live a normal life but that doesn't mean he should keep his career. This isn't a DUI or petty theft this is a major crime and ergo him loosing his public platform is just how shit is. 100
melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Not me defending Geller btw. It's completely reasonable for him being blasted to the shadow realm after this came out. He himself doesn't seem to be contesting his blacklisting so anyone trying to defend him just comes off as an asshole at this point 130
melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Honestly couldn't care about what happens to Geller but the main point that bothers me is the actual victim wasn't the one that broke the news. Since it enters that tricky dilemma over exposing a rapist versus what the victim wants. As far as I know she didn't sign off on this 210

melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Whether they know how shitty and evil they're being is secondary to them just not caring. They want their money, they want the glitz and glamour of being a successful CEO, they want to get fucked up on substances and they wanna fuck. To that end they treat earth as a playground and people as toys 020
melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The sex thing is frankly just a facet of the bigger impression I have of the Silicon Valley Technocrat scene. It's that all the movers and shakers stopped maturing emotionally past 16. Their evil is ultimately because they have a hormonal teenage boy who punches dry wall view of the world. 160

melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Not done with the episode but so far this album is distilling all the worst tropes of 80s pop music into one record. Any interesting idea is ruined by how flashy and over polished the production is. 1110

melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 05/09/2026super fruity malt and wine based drinks like this get you used to shit first but after awhile the fact they give the worst fucking hangovers and don't pair well with a lot of food means its better to get a taste for regular beers, wines and liquors 010

melvindukowski.bsky.social @melvindukowski.bsky.social · 05/09/2026They're gas station cocktails. Not sure if it's just malt based alcohol or wine based like alternatives.
