Can any of you recommend a good f*cked up movie?

Fight Club as an example - very good, but very dark

Anyone else read the book “Bad Blood”? About Theranos.

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup​

Book by John Carreyrou

After the book I was looking forward to seeing her serve time In prison. And this year she is supposed to stand trial (next month), only she got pregnant! Now there’ll be sympathy and she likely won’t be serving time.

But the book was a good read.

I enjoyed listening to this book. It's difficult to understand how she made it so far and showing little to no evidence. There are clips floating around on YouTube where it shows her regular voice and when she switches into her deep voice.

Land of the free. :rofl:

Want to game on a computer? Tough luck.

The "100 companies, 71% of pollution" meme usually comes up if you spend enough time reading through topics related to pollution / climate.

Of course laws like these flex on the middle class - definitely no need to go after Amazon, Microsoft, or Google for their cloud computers.

I'm not saying that they should - just that when people attack regular people for any issue, it's empty virtue signalling.

I'm surprised NZ's women's competitor didn't demolish things in one go at the Olympics.

We have gotten to this point thanks to a lot of dumb people. And its not like it was unexpected either since even the MSM got in on it with South Park's Randy Savage episode. Its why I say the supporters of whatever is trendy now that involves making others receive some sort of negative outcome better watch out because later on they could be on the receiving end of negative things they do to others if plans change. I remember the most ardent supporters were the very people NZ competed against in the Olympics today. I can't say they were not warned.

Whatever the new future is like I sure hope it keeps the same choice for the population it does now and always has which is free will of making choices. I, like many others of the FOX crowd, to use an MSM term, want to live in harmony and away from dumb people. If dumb people want to support whatever they support it is of their free will and I won't stop them since I believe in live and let live. From the looks of things they only hurt themselves anyways. To me, at least, that is one of the reasons why I like biz forums and the financial freedom aspect because that can be a goal.

I think that pharma lobbyists must lobby to have canola oil put in everything just to keep the entire population sick.

That stuff is poison and its everywhere.

Summation? I'd rather not spend 14m.
Sorry. They built their brand using the conservative, second amendment, libertarian crowd.

Now it came out that they donated to anti 2A democrats and called the same people that built their brand racists and pieces of shit.

This is them doubling down.

They’re a bunch of dude bro veterans who think being a vet makes them better than everyone else.

Is this for real?

Wow, how do you fake everything for so long like that?

How do you build a business on a complete lie and tell yourself every day that you hate your customers?

I couldn’t do that. Screw Black Rifle Coffee if true.

They said they “lost a bet” and had to donate to the Democrats...3 times...

Then let The New York Times interview them and said they “took everything out of context” when they dissed their own customers, even though the transcripts are out.

Ex marketing chief says he’s gonna dox Alex Jones because he said mean things on Twitter.

That and they don’t support Kyle Rittenhouse.

Thanks God for all the crazy shit that's been going on for the past 1.5 years as a painful, unforgettable reminder that being ignorant of world events is actually optimal.

Look around you; It's easier than ever to win, so long as you stay focused.

Seriously, How many people can you say are truly, 100% focused, as of late?

You should NEVER be a customer of any media outlet, even if you agree with it.

Can't have newsy shit running around in your head if you're going to perform.

"Jacob's Ladder" & "Marebito"

Although not f*cked up in a cinematic sense, I have a feeling you'll like this one
about an insanely driven athlete:

Why is it that family is more envious of your success than strangers?

It absolutely blows my mind.

Especially the ones that pretend like they're not.

For example:

Them: "G Wagons are my favourite car. I wish I can buy one."

You get a G Wagon

Them: "Oh, I would never spend that much money on a car. I rather buy a condo!"

Why not say "congrats", or "good for you!", or "oh wow, can I drive it!".

If I hated Hondas, and my friend got a Honda, I would never tell him that "Oh, I hate Hondas. And besides, you should've bought a condo instead."

It just makes you look so weak and disingenuous.

Because you had very similar circumstances, so it's harder for them to rationalize away why you are successful and they aren't.

Maybe when they said “G Wagons are my favourite car. I wish I can buy one.” they really meant “G Wagons are my favourite car. I wish you can buy one for me!.”

Strangers don’t expect anything from your success, relatives often do.
