  • Someone shamed some old vet beggar who would sit in a wheelchair by a known intersection in town.

    He was missing a leg.

    Someone posted on some community FB page , photos of the guy standing and bending down or something.

    And people were going crazy saying he was a faker for asking for money.

    Dude was a vet who lost his leg.

    He wasn’t paralyzed. He never said he was.

    He is in the chair because he can’t walk much.

    Doesn’t mean he can’t stand at all.

    Idk. But yeah it’s a common misconception that only paralyzed people need wheel chairs.

















  • 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.
