This is a great illustration of fraudulent fraud claims: a grain of truth, massive exaggeration, which then justify policies that hurt all users

He does have a history of selling over-priced low-quality shit.

It's money. If they do this, the money keeps flowing. If they do not, the money stops. Maybe they're shameless enough to know what they're doing, maybe they're making the mistake of thinking that more money = I'm doing the right thing, but either way, it's money.

The rage I feel when I hear someone got information on a topic from a “documentary” only to find out that it was a 30 minute video (with 8 minutes of ads) of Some Fucking Guy reading Wikipedia and Reddit comments.

"Blonde hair, blue jeans, best thing I've ever seen" was about his kid's nanny. And we all knew it.

We Didn't Start the Fire.
1. Billy, those verses are just lists.
2. What fire? (But okay, at least the chorus isn't also a list.)
3. Are you implying that the world only started turning in 1950s America?
4. (Yes, this is also a list.)

Same word. I'll prove it.
1.
Masses.
Masses.
Which has which meaning? You don't know, do you?
2. Read the following aloud:
a) Masses.
b) Masses.
They sounded exactly the same, didn't they?

In an early Megadeth song, Dave says something is "oh so pernicuous" and even as a 15-year-old I cringed.

Yes! So much brilliant material. Robin Ince's two-parter on ADHD is incredible too.

I would not have liked to have made a total dick of myself doing a joke Nazi salute on national TV.

And a good thing too, because as it turns out - thanks largely to my extremely beautiful girlfriend, who was standing beside me, and the proximity of one of the TV camera positions - at the moment in time that it occurred to me to do a Nazi salute, I was live in close-up on national TV. /

I was in my early 20s, the culture at the time was to make the joke and see how it lands, without worrying about offending. Bantz, like. Also, I was someone who struggled with impulsive behaviour, so even now it surprises me that I didn't make the unfunny joke salute. /

Many are doubting the value of the post from a man who doesn't know the difference between a million and a billion.
