Yup the age old meme / comic still applies
But as you said in this case it will be the wealthy living out the final years of the human race stocked up on the most luxurious things wondering how we ever got to that point
And rather than the journalists saying “three days old” and giving exact dates, it’s just “Monday”
It was opened at 9:30 on December 9th. It sat in the junk folder all weekend, the police found it, and a police officer driving a personal truck killed someone
shhh, be quieter when you talk to the gorilla. they’re sensitive creatures
I’m so fucking tired of the NYPD not having a viable strategy to stop venting
I read a theory a while back that Trump only eats McDonald’s so often because it prevents him from being poisoned, but in this case it’s also like “hey you’re the richest dude in the world, here’s a quarter pounder, you work for me.” Everything to the wealthy and powerful is about feeling more powerful than the others in the room
This state of affairs is known technically as the “double-bind.” A person is put in a double-bind by a command or request which contains a concealed contradiction… This is a damned-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don’t situation which arises constantly in human (and especially family) relations…
The social doublebind game can be phrased in several ways:
- The first rule of this game is that it is not a game.
- Everyone must play.
- You must love us.
- You must go on living.
- Be yourself, but play a consistent and acceptable role.
- Control yourself and be natural.
- Try to be sincere.
Essentially, this game is a demand for spontaneous behavior of certain kinds. Living, loving, being natural or sincere—all these are spontaneous forms of behavior: they happen “of themselves” like digesting food or growing hair. As soon as they are forced they acquire that unnatural, contrived, and phony atmosphere which everyone deplores—weak and scentless like forced flowers and tasteless like forced fruit. Life and love generate effort, but effort will not generate them. Faith—in life, in other people, and in oneself—is the attitude of allowing the spontaneous to be spontaneous, in its own way and in its own time.

Sure, agreed, I posted screenshots on the fly as I saw the info. That being said is it was a “live feed” page and information was being changed on the fly with a single URL
FOMO. makes it seem exclusive. For whatever reason at least 50% of humans are just wired to want to feel better than everyone else. The actual experience itself doesn’t matter as long as they can brag about it knowing that others weren’t able to achieve it. Dubai literally has ice shipped in from melting glaciers so that rich people can put it into their drink https://arcticice.ae/
Many humans are fucking hot garbage (I mean that in the double entendre) and are basically so focused on their competition and their legacy that wealth doesn’t mean anything for them. And so many other shitty humans want nothing more than to be in that position because there’s some genetic wiring for some people that their best feeling is being better than someone else, and now that’s taken to the extremes we see today.
I mean those weren’t screenshots of headlines, they were a significant portion of the articles. At the time though it was just coming from CNN’s live coverage page, which I tried to link to above
smh the sus guy strikes again, this time out of retirement
It-a-was-a-me, Mario!
the way they portray him and the tone of the whole thing is just so fucking slimy
“Do you realize how much money the wealthy are losing right now?”
“OMG how could a person born into wealth that is clearly incredibly intelligent, ever think about doing something like this? There are better ways to slowly let millions of people die over denied coverage and ignore it. How could he.”
Make sure to link their actual site to since those all exist as redirect pages:

This registrar is such hot garbage that it stinks of just one individual or group controlling the whole thing from the registrar level to the few domains they provide. Their contact form page won’t even load for me.
continues to poke around
Oh what do you know, the registrar and “BrandShield” are run by the same guy

Sounds like the reports should go directly to ICANN for ignoring reports about domains on their registration list
Edit:
I would be remiss if I didn’t include the other founders
https://www.crunchbase.com/person/yoav-keren
https://www.crunchbase.com/person/yuval-zantkeren
Who, again, all founded “Brandshield” at the same time they bought the rights from ICANN to make their own registrar, which appears to purely operate as a byproduct of “Brandshield”
I can’t tell if this is just part of the meme or not
And now’s their chance to prove that what’s most important to them is what’s right rather than how they look to others at the country club
