If they had cataracts they were blind or something! I wasn’’t going to argue the point because the degree of blindness wan’t the point but if you want to make it that we can!

MY point has always been that if people get real help, and they did! Then it real, not “ faux-philanthropy”. But thanks for trying to tell me…

The new 4680 battery from Tesla is shipping in one version of the Model Y already and has been for months. 4680 refers to the size of the cell and not necessarily the chemistry. They may be working to improve the chemistry but that’s something they are always working with companies to accomplish. 

Assuming the numbers are accurate, I can point to 30,000 people who have significantly, measurably had their lives improved by Mr. Beast’s clout chasing antics (to say nothing of the people who benefit from Mr. Beast’s network of food banks.) By contrast, the alleged harm is *at best* theoretical and abstract; even if…

The point is, those people were ACTUALLY helped. That’s not faux-philanthropy. If people get real help, it’s real, period. 

He’s not the only influencer. Do you really think that every other shitty YouTuber is assailed with accusations that they’re not being philanthropic? You really think these arguments just come down to “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” when what we’re talking about is creating a personally lucrative brand off of…

If this were a rich white woman trying to sell a book, Jezebel would be entirely uncritical.

No dog in this fight, unless I happen upon one of his videos while scrolling I never see them. It just seems like pretty harmless dorky white boy content to me.

It’s a little weird that you’re dedicating this much time and text to a topic you’re admittedly unfamiliar with.

The kids aren’t being separated from her.

I straight up chortled at this.

Knowingly bringing a child into the world being fully aware you are going to be separated is a strange ethical choice. But hers to make...

You don’t care about children’s suffering?

She doesn’t think of other people in general. I doubt it makes a difference if she’s related to them.

They should just have nurseries on-site for women’s prisons, and then be generous with the family visitation rights.

Nothing like knowing the motivation for your existence was essentially a Monopoly “Get out of jail free” card to give you a complex for life. But then again, she’s an expert gaslighter, so I’m sure she’ll find a way to lie to them convincingly.

Fuck her, kid is better off without her using it as a literal shield.

Maybe she will secretly outsource a couple kids who can actually do their job.

Holmes has reportedly said “pretty people like me” don’t go to jail

Her deep ties to the community? Look, she might have to make some sacrifices, but I have faith that with her drive and with her skills in finding creative solutions to problems she’s created for herself, she can still serve perfectly well as a punchline from prison.

Maybe she should have thought about her family and community before she decided to commit fraud. I realize her children were not born yet at the time of the crime, but the other family members being referenced were alive.
