No. $750K house is still “kinda rich” in most places in the USA. In fact it means he’s probably “rich” in Knoxville, TN.

TN dude never served. That’s draft dodger critique 101... you can’t do it if you weren’t in the military yourself...

he did say he went to Rutgers

the warriors are the SF team tho

VCs haven’t done “due diligence” since dot com 1.0 bust.... seriously. they do not care anymore. It’s all a money game now.

My ex was a patent attorney. You can patent anything really. It’s even worse now that its “first to file.” You have mega trolls like Intellectual Ventures that just file 150 thousand patents per year in hopes that someday someone invents the thing they thought of so they can shake them down.

That actually used to be a thing in Silicon Valley. That is why Yahoo owns 25% of Craigslist... a disgruntled early employee sold his stake when he quit. It is also why during the early Facebook years there were dudes that got mega rich before the IPO. They were selling off their shares on the secondary market. This…

It’s not that surprising she made that little off her movies. Hollywood has adjusted to be like the rest of the economy. The top billed actor makes $20M, the next highest paid actor in the movie makes $200K, everyone else makes scale. They do as much green screen as possible so the rest of the film can be outsourced…

That’s cuz a lot of VCs are just dudes who got rich by accident. They were the 11th salesman hired at pre-IPO Oracle or Apple or whatever. Then they got some investment success by putting some dough into Google. The whole strategy is to just invest in a lot of stuff and hope that one of them goes big. It’s not really…

In light of the revelation that she was paid with common stock, I get the feeling she was not a grifter at all. She believed in her own BS. The investors knew it was BS, and just used her as a pawn for an investment ponzi scheme.

Thats not what happened tho. Basically the opposite happened. She got reimbursed with common stock. This is a major blunder of naivety. She didn’t steal money from Silicon Valley dumb dumbs. Silicon Valley sharks puffed up this dumb dumb as window dressing for a massive ponzi scheme.

Holy Cow...

ouch i meant east coast

sorry man i blew it with my directional dyslexia

a big city like tampa?

damn i messed that up

West of California a burrito is this floppy open ended thing that falls apart and makes a gigantic mess. That is the only reason “burrito bowls” even exist as an option in the first place.... because most people ended up eating their burrito mess with a fork anyway. Blame Chipotle. They both expanded the geographical…

I got smacked by a horse when the horse cops busted me for skateboarding on nicollet mall in Minneapolis when I was in high school. You are right, there is nothing like getting smacked by a horse’s butt! (rump? hip? thigh? shank? flank? not sure what a horse’s side-butt is called)

Gavin is one of the original Vice founders. He’s the guy who invented “Do’s and Don’ts”

gavin pretended to be a right wing troll for so long he cracked and actually became a right wing troll
