Why the fuck can't these assholes just go away?

You've won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*

It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.

*these are rhetorical questions

What does a man with power want?

More power

[-] paulbg@programming.dev 8 points 3 months ago

these mfs don't need money anymore, they need power. money is just a byproduct of it.

[-] aeternum 1 points 3 months ago

money IS power. If you have the means to buy everyone off, then you are golden. Sucks, but that's how it is.

[-] paulbg@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

also true. i hate the fact that most tech people i know are tech bro wannabe mfs. we need more community power to escape that shit.

I’d posit that they haven’t won and are fundamentally broken people seeking to fill a void that no amount of money could fill. I know for certain I could never attain this much wealth as I would stop way before tens of millions.

No, that was a much larger group effort. You and me can't wash our hands of it. Like, even if you ignore the majority of stuff they don't own, we let them do that.

Well said. We don’t like inequality, but when it comes to blame somehow we all get a “tax free” discount.

Yes, they are awful people. They have more than enough money to live out their sickest fantasies and it’s still not enough for them. But they are - at least in part - a symptom of the way the rest of us live. We vote for a government that lets us forget our humanity, class consciousness and responsibility in place of overbearing capitalism. Only we can stop this.

If it is any consolation for anyone: He won't be able to piss normally for the rest of his life.

Did I miss something that happened?

It's a known side effect of Ketamine abuse that the complete urinary genital system gets inflamed. Guys basically having a continuous cystitis and much more for the rest of his life - and he confirmed that to some degree.
