The Rationalists have always reminded me a lot of the online atheists of about 2010. In that you have a set of people who see themselves as very smart and want to create a framework where being smart is a virtue so any bad behavior they want to engage in is actually virtuous because they are smart.

Also some casual eugenics built in, right? Because there is often this vibe of like, "Well, I guess god doesn't want you to have a baby". Like it's some core weakness that means you shouldn't get a kid anyway.

Credit card companies really don't take kindly to this. They might want the address eventually but they will deal with all of that most likely.

As someone who has read your writing for years I would have suspected Neil Diamond anyway.

There once was a girl from London
She wore a hat the weight one ton
She was chased by a snail
He called himself Dale
And pursued all the way to Brighton

Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.
