One of the websites Facebook is to use to arbitrate on ‘fake news’ is involved in a bitter legal dispute between its co-founders, with its CEO accused of using company money for prostitutes…
But the website’s own troubles and the intriguing choice of who carries out its ‘fact checks’ are revealed by DailyMail.com, as one of its main contributors is disclosed to be a former sex-blogger who called herself ‘Vice Vixen’…
Now a DailyMail.com investigation reveals that Snopes.com’s founders, former husband and wife David and Barbara Mikkelson, are embroiled in a lengthy and bitter legal dispute in the wake of their divorce.
He has since remarried, to a former escort and porn actress who is one of the site’s staff members…
She is not the only Snopes employee who is frank online about their sex life.
One of the lead fact-checkers, Kim LaCapria, has also been a sex-and-fetish blogger who went by the pseudonym ‘Vice Vixen…’
She regularly provided intimate advice and reviewed sex toys, including a vibrating wand that ‘drives boys mad…’
His 2015 annual salary was $240,000. On top of that the divorce settlement stipulated a $20,000-per-month draw on profits, with he and Barbara later upped to $30,000 – a package that would be the equivalent of $500,000 a year.
He is seeking a pay rise to ‘2x or 3x’ the $240,000, court documents show, although he was prepared to settle for $360,000.
Further court documents showed some of the details of the couple’s personal wealth.
They included: a $205,000 home in Las Vegas; a $1,525,000 home in Calabasas, Los Angeles; two savings accounts with $3,064,993; a cash account with $81,785 and a stock account with $47,588; IRAs valued at $455,101; and a baseball card collection which was not valued.
Notice the themes. Free resources, sexual debauchery, lack of discipline, no children, divorce, rabid leftism, feminism and “female angency,” theft, lack of morals, and a doughy guy with an insane expression who looks like he wouldn’t last two seconds in a state of nature.
These are the human r-strategist rabbits, designed to proliferate wildly when resources enter a state of glut. They can’t compete, they fear conflict, they oppose in-groupism and hostility, they have no morals or aversions to theft, their relationships tend toward the temporary and the shallow, they are sexually liberated and promiscuous, and they burn through resources like nobody’s business. Every instinct, as screwed up as it appears to us, is perfectly designed for reproducing in that resource-rich environment.
If you go to the link and look at the guy’s picture, imagine his smile being pulled up by wires attached to his face. Now imagine cutting the wires, and picture how fast his face would droop back into a depressed expression. His facial muscles appear to really be struggling to drag his face up into a smile, against tremendous resistance.
Now the media expects the online community to look to this giant morass of deviance and fucked-upedness to arbitrate what is and isn’t #fakenews. You can’t make this stuff up.

Re: “doughy”
In the book it talked about the very intelligent r’s that practice birth control and seemingly other forward-thinking, low-time preference practices atypical for r-selection. Are these the “elite” of the r population? I’m imagining a leftist I’ve know of who favors feminism, equality, has no kids, yet religiously works out and maintains a fit, healthy body. It’s sort of like being a gay body-builder – seems like a contradiction between high- and low- time-preferences?
There will always be atypicals, who are not clearly 100% on either side. Obviously, over time, they will be culled.
It is tough to say. There will always be atypicals who combine traits, for no real reason beyond chance. Over time they get culled, but they will still pop up.
