        Someone who takes it on themselves to act as apologist for the words/actions of tech sociopaths

        Often seen as “weird nerds coming to defense of $x” (such as musk, or in this case the kagi dudebro)

          (And then I glanced at your post history and noticed a trend of JAQing off so I now doubt whether you’re sincere in asking)

              JAQing

              https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Just_asking_questions first hit (on google ;) ) which has a good explanation.

              E: And I don’t meant this post as a ‘just fucking google it’ or ‘educate yourself’ (well a little bit) but more to show there is more to this accusation of JAQing than just some way to shut you down. The method is used by bad faith actors a lot, so it is a pattern of behavior a lot of people react negatively too. So, assuming you are acting in good faith, it is a good way to learn why people are reacting to you like you are a bit of an bad faith actor. And if you are a bad faith actor, I only wasted a little bit of my time typing this out so nothing really lost.

                  I had a weird brainfart a while back when I realized that Carlson reminds me of this guy.

                  The bad faith ‘bugs that think are offensive’ debate guy from starship troopers. He even wears a bow tie!

              Short for Just Asking Questions. Where people ask loaded questions that act as a veneer to their actual statements. If you want to accuse them of the fact they are talking shit, they’ll say they’re “just skeptical” and “asking questions”

          also, who in the fuck were you talking to? do you often wander into subs and demand nobody replies to your shitty posts?
