Note that my-hero didn’t unfollow Grimes until this specific chosen moment. I hope he dies mad. Very mad. bridget-pride-stay-mad

      He’s a (somewhat) secular “Quiverfull” douche-dad, complete with being neglectful and abusive to his quantity-focused offspring, resulting in many of them abandoning his bullshit the moment they had a chance to do so.

          I wish it was more apparent and obvious to more people that when someone is the richest man in the world and so many of his offspring want nothing to do with him the moment they find a way out, family luxury and inheritance be damned, that’s a massive fucking indicator of what a monster he is and always was.

              The “he’s just like Tony Stark from my treats!” Schtick lasted far too long

              Damn right it did, and I hated it from the start. I’m just bittersweetly relieved that he’s managed to gradually destroy his own once-unassailable public image, one hubris-laden narcissistic tantrum after another.

                  I was a credulous bazinga brained “futurologist” myself, and even believed in the Singularity™. I am grateful that when I started to lose faith in the cult and walked away that my-hero was only starting to become DAE LE EPIC REAL LIFE TONY STARK in pop culture so I never actually prayed at his altars.

                  Hey at least you’re cool enough that you can admit it here, comrade. And at least you didn’t buy into his worse scams.

        It’s like somebody took all the badly written sci-fi narcissists, removed the charisma and intelligence, and dumped the leftover stat points into a breeding fetish.

          And after all of that was done, some Apartheid prince looked the combination over for a few seconds then said "!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 " before adopting that identity because it was so based.

                  I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Then I said EPICALLY MEMED, ELO~N so-true

                    I’d hate to be one of the explorers going through the wreckage of the fallen US who retrieves an intact hard drive only to find Doge Coins within.
