Someone posted this on ssc with a warning about talking to cops, but really just marvel at what's going on here.

Aaronson manages to turn a story where he is briefly arrested for a theft (which he did commit on video!) into paragraphs and paragraphs of indulging in his persecution fantasies.

Zero empathy on display for the people he stole from, the people just doing their jobs, or reflection on the fact that it wasn't a simple little mistake anyone could make but rather... a fairly weird move? Do people usually put change in cups?

    addendum: the cops and TSA involved in the above are also absolute dipshits, I’m just shocked that they managed to be out-dipshitted by a single Scott Aaronson

    I also feel bad for the airline employee, who was more than likely just doing their best
