  • Late reply. But yeah there are a thousand other tech bros who have done similar things. Taken in investments. lied about their product. even pushed out products to consumers that are potentially dangerous.

    I think she got so much attention because 1. She’s a woman. And honestly there aren’t that many women con artist in the tech industry. There are some. But it’s mostly guys.

    And 2. She’s an attractive woman. (I didn’t say she’s a super model but she is objectively above average). So makes for good click bait. She looks good on camera.

    People love to hate on good looking people who have fallen. Makes “us” all feel better about our shitty place when we see other people with privilege also fail.

    Honestly still not sure why there is a movie about her that so heavily features her in it.

    Almost comes off as paid for publicity. For sympathy.

    There was some other documentary about her a few years ago. Which is when I learned about her. May have been on YouTube or Netflix. I can’t recall. But it’s out there.

    Idk. Should she go to prison. Yes. But she’s also one of many that should be in prison for fraud. Yet the system seems to always want to make an example out of the women to give the impression that they are impartial. When their male counterparts do no time.

    Another example. Martha Stewart. Did she break the law. Yes. Should she do the time? Yes. At the same time, many of Trump’s illegal activities were being reviewed in courts. He never did time even though his were much worse.

    Anyway. I don’t care to watch any sympathy documentary for criminals.



















  • I can remember my first dick pic. I, 15, met some guy in his 30s in some yahoo chat room. I remember waiting so patiently to see what he looked like. As that’s what I thought the photo was.

    He told me he would buy me a plane ticket to see him.

    How sweet.

    Line by line. Waiting. Waiting. Another line.

    A blurry dark photo. Hard to tell what it was.

    Another line of pixels . Another.

    The anticipation…

    Another line.

    Oh. Hey. Ya, pretty sure that’s a dick. Cancel that.

    Because that would be a different study.

    You could compare their behaviors to non married teens or whatever else.

    Or compare the homosexual and bi teens to hetero ones.

    I’m sure such studies do exist.

    But you can’t just have all these wild card variables lumped together.

    In research you have to try to use parameters that best represent a population if you are doing a study on general trends.

    It’s very common to exclude anyone who isn’t “average” from a study on average behaviors.

    Especially when you know already that there are systematic differences.

    For example. Married teens, always hetero, are engaging in sex.

    That would distort the actual numbers if you added them into your computations.
