I can change the bio to a quote more literary in a bit if that'll help you address my ideas instead of my reputation.

Folks seem to pick and choose when to take me seriously in the hacker scene, which is amusing considering rumor has it "Chapo Trap House" is a reference to what the portmanteau of DNS requests coming out of my college house share looked like to the local FBI field office during the Pittsburgh G20.

Spoiler alert: One guy was playing a lot of illegal poker, one guy was really into certain types of... free expression... and one was discovering the joys of democratic socialism as he did experiments on undergrads like Bill Murray at the beginning of Ghostbusters as he pirated everything on the IMDB Top 250. Guess which one was me, and you win a special prize.

(Also... don't do cocaine.)
