Enhanced Games, eh? How about my bike? Can I just strap a 10hp electric motor on my bike? Maybe add some whirling blades to the tires to clear a path when I lap everyone who’s just pedaling?
"Thiel had financially backed the Enhanced Games, an athletic contest in which competitors were allowed to take whatever steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs they wanted."
While I doubt it, I wonder if Thiel and the doped athletes learned anything from the inaugural games:
> "42 athletes to compete at the inaugural Enhanced Games in Las Vegas
[...]
Of the 42 athletes who signed up, 38 elected to use drugs.
[...]
U.S. swimmer Hunter Armstrong was one of them [non-PED users]. He walked away Sunday with $375,000, including a win in the 50-meter backstroke.
"people should be allowed to put whatever they want into their bodies without the interference of any government or “paternalistic sports federation""
* IOW, body autonomy (unless you're a woman in the US seeking birth control pills or an abortion).
* I wonder if these fine folk -- the founders of the Enhanced Games -- object to a “paternalistic sports federation" banning trans women from women's athletic competition?
Assuming anyone with a spine gets into power after Trump, we should send Seal Team Six down to relocate Thiel to the same place Bin Ladin currently resides.
Our legal system it totally backwards. It applies ever more lightly the more wealth you have. It should apply ever more strictly, because more wealth means you have more ways of breaking the law with impunity.
Had enough money to pay a lawyer to keep moving the cases and fucking around enough McElroy never really was punished and the cops acted like they couldn't do anything. Until one day "the town" took care of the problem.
Or using his wealth to improve the lots of people less fortunate. All of these pricks could be heroes with a modicum of effort, but they choose to be wankers.
Still weeping bitter tears that their vast wealth has not translated into universal love and respect from the people because said wealth is built on ripping us off?
Blue Origins rocket blowed up. Blowed up real good.

So... once again the abdication of actual human achievement and the embrace of fake ass cheating.
Those octopus have the right idea.

Did taxpayers pay for Bezos’ sploded rocket?

"Equal Ju$ti¢e Under Law" 😏
Reminds me of Ken McElroy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy
Had enough money to pay a lawyer to keep moving the cases and fucking around enough McElroy never really was punished and the cops acted like they couldn't do anything. Until one day "the town" took care of the problem.
Oh but there was an incident. Oh dear. Regrettable.
Greetings from beautiful Skidmore MO.
Eat the rich! They's all whiny useless bitches anyway... Just turn them into Soylent Green.
😏
Lol of course today ended with an evacuation (small electrical fire but lot of smoke). It was already a weird day, why not
"one-time assessment of five percent". Fuck you, Petey. I pay HALF of my income to taxes. You can go suck assholes.
How's your 'metaverse' working out there, brohan? 🤪
Zuck could get the love and respect he clearly desires by getting on his yacht and fucking off to nowhere and never coming back.
Or using his wealth to improve the lots of people less fortunate. All of these pricks could be heroes with a modicum of effort, but they choose to be wankers.
So fuck them.
Maybe someplace underwater? 🤞
Or Mars. I’m also good with all of the billionaires being shipped to Mars.
they're all geniuses* anyway, right? they'll figure out how to make it work
*"how else did they get all that money?"

[MRS. LOVETT]
It's Thiel
Have a little Thiel
[TODD]
Is it really good?
[MRS. LOVETT]
Sir, it's too gay, at least
Then again, he's committed sins of the flesh
So it's quite un-fresh
[TODD]
Awful lot of fat
[MRS. LOVETT]
Only where it sat
[TODD]
Haven't you got Zucker
Or something like that?
[MRS. LOVETT]
No, you see the trouble with Zucker is
How do you know that it's
Real?
Try the Thiel.
[TODD, spoken]
Mm, heavenly
Not as hearty as Bezos, perhaps
But then not as nuts as Elon, either
[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Good for business, too—always leaves you wanting more

Well, does the support yacht have a support yacht?
Matryoshka yachts!
It's support yachts all the way down.
All it takes is one hole in the correct place...
Yes, it has an Emotional Support yacht.
[agonized backround groan....]
It's a Child Support Yacht and needs to sit at the Kid's table...
It's time for some yachtbortions.
Just tie off their fuel lines.
