Help Vampires Anonymous 08/13/2019 (Tue) 02:39:33 [Preview] No. 4820
Why is the tumblr rationalist community filled with "help vampires", people who suck up immense amounts of time and effort from people with actual skills without offering any real value in return?
http://www.skidmore.edu/~pdwyer/e/eoc/help_vampire.htm
like, just off the top of my head:
Ozy
Olivia Schaefer
"thebiggerfish" aka Sylvia
Act/Accalia

How do we stop this menace and either force them to improve or oust them from spaces where they can continue to hurt people/waste the rest of our time?

I thought rationality was about winning :^)
what's the story with the latter 3? I don't use tumblr

Wouldn't gender radio alone be sufficient explanation for this phenomenon? Any woman in the ratsphere performing helplessness is assured a horde of lonely men ready to dote upon her.

They're utilitarians, and despite their claims they still haven't cracked the utility monster/utility pit issues. This is evident in their preoccupation with effective altruism (actually just pouring money into a bottomless pit)

What attention does ozy suck up besides the odd dick? Who are the rest of these people?

Yeah, this is just a bunch of literally whos and Ozy, who's pretty cool. OP's rhetoric is weak.

>and Ozy, who's pretty cool.
When has Ozy ever been anything else than a shitty attention whore?

How much money must one spend on bed nets to buy ozy for a night? Taking bets.

I guess the question is whether saving a child from malaria is worth the awkwardness, discomfort, and assorted health risks of having sex with you. You gotta weigh those utils and come to a rational conclusion.

It's basic utilitarianism that there's some number where it's the case, I'm just curious what that number is. Due to ozy's character, I doubt it's that high.

Because you are a degenerate. It's not a real offer, you know?

seeing this thread degenerate into you horny morons speculating about how to fuck them makes it much less mysterious how these people suck up everyone's time

See, this is why so many of us want to be cute girls.

it's probably like this in any community with strongly skewed sex ratio? Heard from a guy who served on a ship that even the ugliest women start becoming very beautiful after a while if they are the only one around.

Does it happen in groups that skew female?

Nominative determinism.

How aware are Chinese people of "dong" meaning penis? Does nominative determinism act across languages?

There is a Chinese Wikipedia page about Don Juan, at least.

Oh, that works a lot smoother than dong-one.
