It’s kind of like Scientology and megachurches, at least in the pressure to donate more and more.

If they don’t convict for a lengthy fuckin’ amount of time, I will be straight livid...

This is only the trial for New York. All this madness and they haven’t gotten to the Minnesota and Illinois trials. R. Kelly is looking at 100 years ten times over for all this mess.

My wife was a Lularoe consultant right as they took off. There was about six months of netting around 10k then she started noticing some really weird shit and product quality starting to go down. She sold off all of her inventory while it was still worth something and got out while she was ahead. She started working…

Sounds to me that there are more pieces of shit involved who deserve jail alongside this piece of shit.

I did not think it was possible, but RK is making that jerkwad from NXIVM seem just barely outside the mainstream. What a horrible, horrible “human being”.

I certainly have no love for Elizabeth Holmes but I think that may be a bit of a harsh statement, especially if taken to mean the whole company. Aside from the top “management” it seems like most of the people working there really did want to improve and simplify diagnostic testing. And Holmes appeared to mostly be…

Under the fucking jail.

Here is my recipe for 3 dozen. You can cut it down to 1 dozen, but 0ne quart of buttermilk works just right for 3. You may need to adjust time and temp. I needed to.

I will happily go to bat for the egg poaching pan. My mom has one from the 70s, though not non-stick and just for 3 eggs. You boil water, put the tiniest pat of butter in the cup, and add an egg. I perfected the timing for a perfectly running yolk every time. I’m not really sure it can be considered a poached egg, but…

Having been raised Mormon (don’t worry, I got better), and having had several family members fall victim to pyramid schemes (remember ACN, anyone?), I am also very interested in this!

Correct. Theranos certainly WANTED to hurt the poor and working class, they just got stopped before they had a chance.

I’d be interested in an analysis of the seemingly HEAVY overlap between Mormons and pyramid schemes. 

“they didn’t hurt working class people the way that MLM schemes do.”

Interesting timing that this is coming out at about the time of Elizabeth Holmes’ trial. Despite what Holmes and her sidekick Sunny did—shoddy treatment of employees, paranoid persecution of ex-employees, burning through hundreds of millions of investors’ dollars for a pipe dream that never really had a chance of…

First off, I bet the number is a LOT higher than 40 million. I know shitloads of people who got sick in Jan-Feb 2020 and thought it was just bad flu.

You still hear people say if they’re in a serious accident they’d rather be thrown free of the car than trapped in a seatbelt. Never mind that you’re smashing a windshield with your forehead and probably being catapulted face-first into whatever you crashed into, can’t risk burning alive due to a seatbelt buckle…

Here is something that might help.

I’ve been telling people that viruses mutate a lot, every time they are made by cells. And that most mutations are non-functional. (Like, oh, 90% of mutations are bad for viruses. The mutated versions don’t spread or don’t copy as well.) I’ve added that 99% of the remaining mutations don’t change the viruses…

What part of this piece didn't you understand?
