Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists

haha, what a terrible article and website. reads like someone is new to the internet, got awfully butthurt and that it still stings.

these are professional adult beings? WOW, takes nothing nowadays! i would have seriously thought it's written by a conservative, sheltered mormon teen girl.

[Faust]

/\ perhaps you, out of all people, should give it a more careful reading.

[volta]

i can't take that "article" seriously. maybe the gist of it is correct (it's not), but the execution is extremely unprofessional. seems like it takes nothing nowadays, just spout some drivel and scared people (which is.. all of them) will flock to it like pigs to garbage and call you an expert cause you have the [questionable] 'credentials' to show. who are the trolls, really?

"So next time you encounter a troll online, remember a few things. (1) These trolls are some truly messed up people and (2) it is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is ignore them."

how can you read this and not laugh? reads like fucking tumblr, not that there's a difference between the real world, tumbEW, twatter, fagbook, instagay, they are walking the streets after all, the REAL NARCISSISTIC PSYCHOS, i say.

yeah, i'm sure they're out there doing awful things when they're not trolling and listening to their "heavy metal goth musics" aka the devil's music and whatnot.. NOT TOTALLY UNLIKE 99.9% OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THATS LOOKING TO SCREW YOU OVER FOR A PROFIT, PERSONAL OR BUSINESS (LIKE THE CUNT WITH THE ARTICLE ABOVE, INTEGRITY WENT OUT THE WINDOW WHEN SHE SMELLED MONEY AND THEN HAVE THE GALL TO FUCKING POINT FINGERS?)!

you don't think these sheeps changes opinions as soon as they realize it's profitable and then act like that was always the case? BULLSHIT! see it everyday, what world do you live in?

[Shucks]

"You poked my heart." (1:30)

Cuteness really is, at times, unbearable.

Cuteness really is, at times, unbearable.

"no you pretty. you not real. i'm real." such a complex whirlwind of emotion and existentialism coming from a toddler.

also, i love the girl in the middle who is mediating the argument.

I was so caught up in the "it's spwinkling / no, it's waining!" debate that I missed that line.

All I know is that when that wee little voice uttered "you poked my heart", I melted completely to the floor.

Photographer Sandro Miller's collaboration with John Malkovich recreates
some of the world's most iconic images for new project,
Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters


In addition to serving as the model, Malkovich was "very involved" behind the scenes, says Miller. The actor often applied his own makeup – a process that took "at least two hours per shot" – and made his own wax nose for the Picasso and Salvador Dalí photos.

"Eighteen months ago I flew to France to see John, armed with a package of 30 iconic images by 28 master photographers, and to tell him about my idea for a new project. After consuming two bottles of wine with John, I showed him my idea and he fell in love.

My biggest fear was that people wouldn’t take this project seriously. I didn’t want these to be a parody. I was serious about paying homage to these photographers and photographs that changed my perspective on photography. These images inspired me throughout my career and developed me into the photographer I am today ... This is my way of saying thank you to the masters that created these amazing images." – Sandro Miller


The full series will debut at Chicago's Catherine Edelman Gallery on Nov. 7 and run through January 31, 2015.
Several special releases are planned for the project, too: cultural review magazine 7-Post will publish an exclusive interview with Malkovich on the series in its on October 3 issue, and the French newspaper Liberation will also run an interview on the project.

These 3d cross sections of a 7d hypertorus seem to mesh with Iris Van Herpen's aesthetic, probably b/c they are techy rococo or baroque: https://imgur.com/gallery/tNk4f


they also mesh oddly well with lee gamble's new album: https://soundcloud.com/pan_recs/lee-gamble-nueme-pan-59

this is basically how I feel after accidentally clicking an image link on google that lead to styleforum

ironically, that image was leeched off of SZ in a discussion heavily deriving from SZ, featuring someone [presumably dressed in a john varvatos turtleneck] talking shit about SZ
