I would have assumed it was a job requirement

If you look at how Elon was recruiting for DOGE, if it wasn't a requirement they were definately selected for.

This should only be an onion article or an snl skit.

What does it say? I don’t open Nazi websites.

If I didn't hear that this is their "official" name (DOGE) I would assume that this xitter post is a scam.

Sounds very DEI of them.

19-year-old Edward Coristine, created multiple disturbing web URLs, including kkk-is-cool.club, raping-women.club and child-porn.store [...] these URLs redirected users to a photo sharing website, tesla.sexy

Seems like a nice guy

Ok....I might be a bit immature but....child-porn.store is kind of funny

I didn't say it was the funniest joke in the world but the idea of someone going into a store and saying "hello I would like 1 child porn, please" gave me an immature chuckle

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You let the intrusive thoughts win today, buddy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

?? You might get intrusive thoughts about child porn but I sure as hell have never had one

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol youve already told on yourself, dont turn this shit on me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Making an off-color joke scenario about a store that sells illegal material does not mean someone has intrusive thoughts about acquiring said illegal material lol

But go ahead and clutch those pearls, I guess. Congrats on proving you're the more moral person!

Look back up there and find where I said those words. These are your words.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You let the intrusive thoughts win today, buddy

These words...?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

intrusive thoughts about acquiring said illegal material lol

Close, but no

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ok let's take a step back.

Someone else wrote the words "child-porn.store," they were not my own thoughts.

I read these words and thought (paraphrased), "A STORE? For child porn?! That's absurd!"

My thought (that a store to buy illegal pornography is outrageous) was a reaction to the information presented...but it was not intrusive. My brain didn't invent the idea

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Bet I could come up with some hilarious ways to use that. I used to own spacekaren.com, didn't do anything funny with it.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago

I'd honestly be surprised if one of them isn't a bigot.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

... Created URLs ...

Registered domain names - paid for them - and redirected those to a site of his for anonymous image posting. What could go wrong?

I'm GLAD this Unelected Person has been given FULL ACCESS to EVERY SINGLE CHILDS EDUCATION IN AMERICA!

-Republicans who want to Save The Children!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Hell, they don't even want to know education stats.

Though I admit, $900M is a staggering spend for tracking. Baby -> bathwater -> OUT.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

it's always the people you most suspect

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Geez guys, relax, it was just a bit of fun, stop being so serious, but also let's fire thousands of government employees and cripple services millions of people rely on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I will ONLY be Happy if this Wannabe Child Rapist gets to Control our Country's Curriculum!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I mean hes clearly a genius not a security risk, I'm sure all the guys on the dodgy black hat hacker chatrooms he hangs out at will confirm that

Only a third of them?

... oh.

Still.

What would we do if a pattern emerged?
