The Truth About Adria Richards

You know what makes me the most angry? The lying about how her apartment doesn't accept cats when it does. I work in an animal shelter and I've seen people pawn off their animals for the stupidest shit, like "the cat doesn't go with my new rug." At least the were open about the vanity

She lives in a 5,000 a month apartment. 5 fucking 000. Five thousand dollars a month. Five fucking thousand. Are you kidding me? I'm probably about a decade older than Adria. I have put more than a decade into my career. I live in a room that I rent from my roommate in a small 1.5 bedroom apartment for 500 a month. It's small, but a good deal. And it's the best thing I can afford right now. Even after more than a decade in my career and advancing quite well.

The conventional wisdom is that you should spend 1/4 of your monthly earnings on rent. If Adria is following this, and I doubt that she is, she is making 20k a month. That's $140k a year. I top out at 3k a month but my earnings are uneven because I'm a freelance contractor and there are seasonal dips in available jobs. I probably just managed 30k a year last year after maxing out at 25 or less ever year before.

And this ruthless cunt claims that I live life on easy mode.

Anyone other than me baffled that a "tech evangelist" claiming years and years and years of experience is unfamiliar with the term "forking a repo"? Oh and the cat. She made an effort to adopt it away to a loving home. I don't see the harm in that, really and I love cats.

Digi-Feminism?

Women really need to get their heads out of their vaginas, they are suffering hypoxia. Umm, I will turn this off now before I incur brain damage.

The address is still visible. I thought it had been crossed out, but it seems pretty clear that it was blocked only enough to try to get it past moderation. This is clearly a doxxing attempt and it is not welcome here.

How about "the truth about" the people who actually fired the two guys who made the mildly risque jokes that this stupid woman overheard? Where do THEY live? How do THEY treat their pets? I'm not excusing Aria Richards from being a hypocritical, selectively hypersensitive asshole, but what she did was take a picture and pitch a fit. Once the minor nature of her complaint had been ascertained, should have been ignored.

My cat turns 18 next month. I couldn't imagine just giving her up to avoid a $200 deposit.

To be honest, the cat incident annoys me the most.

alphabetpal · 2013-03-23T13:58:00+00:00

Holy shit, man. (Slow clap...)

Thank you for that.

Wow that last part... That was art in word form

Legolas-the-elf · 2013-03-23T14:33:41+00:00

I know you made an attempt at blocking out her personal information, but that address is still readable. This should be removed.

Also, I know the guy said that she misinterpreted "I'd fork his repo", and that very well may be the case, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what forking a repo means. It means she misjudged the tone of voice. Think "I'd fork his repo if you know what I mean". She interpreted it as innuendo, there's no reason to assume she doesn't know what the phrase literally means.

DavidByron · 2013-03-23T13:16:54+00:00

Hmm.

Lose the cat thing unless you have a witness.

Do put in more evidence that she was lying about being offended by the dongle joke. eg that card game everyone was playing that jokes about the Holocaust and so on, and that post where she said she had been doing a course on stand up comedy.

Do put in more about her history of bullying and being "offended" as reported by Amanda Blum.

And I'd remind people that a single crazy woman wouldn't have been a problem if she hadn't been enabled in her bullying both by the people running PyCon (who should have told her to take down her twitter picture or they would throw her out of the conference, and then told her a dongle joke does NOT constitute harassment it is ZERO BAD), and the people at PlayHaven who decided it was a firing offense to tell a joke.

Btw the CEO of PlayHaven is a guy and I think it was a man and a woman in charge at PyCon, but not sure of course exactly who made the decisions in either organization.

I see she is paying ~$5k in rent. That implies she pulls in $60ooo/yr at least. Let's fix that; she needs no food on her table. We will make sure she never finds work that doesn't involve asking if a customer "wants fries with that".

memymineown · 2013-03-23T10:26:30+00:00

This is getting dangerously close to stalker territory....

AFuddyDuddy · 2013-03-23T13:21:04+00:00

Who fucking cares...... seriously. This whole thing needs to leave the MRA sub.... it's a non story. Two idiots said some things that may or may not have been work appropriate..... an offense nazi reported it, they all got fired......

End of story.
