    If y’all don’t know how big of a piece of shit this kid is, it runs deep.

    There’s a period of time where he would just taunt strangers to get into a confrontation, and then his bodyguard would step in.

    Well, his bodyguard punched someone in the face and he’s getting sued like fuck.

    He also is basically an only fans pimp. He gets 18-year-old girls drunk on yachts and gets them to sign contracts where they’ll do only fans content for a set fee per month while he takes all.

    It’s truly amazing how big of a scumbag this kid is at such a young age.

      Isnt signing a contract while being under the effects of alcohol make the contract invalid?

      If not, why not? It feels like such an obvious thing so people dont sign contracts against their will

        And now you need to prove that you were intoxicated out in international waters on this kids boat. Then you need to take him and his MacLaren money to court.

        It’s low level extortion.

      No wonder kid needs a body guard, he’s gotta have one of the most punchable faces in the world. I give it 3 months until he catches a stray round to the dome for being a twat and the world can go back to not being aware of his existence.

    Purely theoretical question. Just how big a catapult would you have to build to actually launch an average sized human male into the sun?

      I asked the Guh-Puh-Tuh monster to break it down like Randall Munroe and the results were surprisingly amusing.

      The short version is that the catapult needs to be many, many kilometers long, the human will be liquefied almost immediately, and there are much better ways to get to the Sun—namely, rockets.

        McLarens are awesome cars, don’t let this guy ruin that. Besides, did you see that paint job? He just put the car out of its misery.

        Glad the cameraman was okay; this guy shouldn’t be behind the wheel of anything.

      You are aware that the majority of kids aspire to be social influencers as a desired life/career path, yes?

      https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/gen-z-interest-influencer-marketing

      The majority of current US children do not want to be doctors or professors or plumbers or coders or truck drivers or electricians… they want to pursue a career path that has something like a one in a million odds of making them stupidly wealthy.

      Because that’s what they see. All the time. A constant super, uber version of a reality tv show of wealthy idiot assholes doing and saying whatever they want and almost never facing any consequences.

      And to some extent, who can blame them?

      Every other career path has exceptional upfront costs of time and money, involves much, much more challenging work (either physical, mental or both) and are seen as basically just as risky in terms of actually working out.

      Fuck it. YOLO. Only got 10 or 20 years until the water wars or WW3 or climate change breaks everything anyway.

        I agree with your entire comment, but from this point on, you really nailed it.

        Who knows what my attitude would be if I was in my teens or early twenties? I would be old enough to understand that I have almost no chance of building a “good” life. Everything’s fucked. Political systems, the labor market, and worst of all, the environment. Might as well earn money by being an idiot. At least then I’d be my own boss.

            No, I get what you mean. It just depends on what we mean by “breaks everything”. I’m not saying we’re looking at human extinction in ten years, or the complete loss of advanced industrial civilization in ten years. But I do expect in that time span massive and permanent decreases in the average standard of living and the availability of goods, services, and information.

            Checks for free. He’s talking about writing personal checks, like in the beforetimes, and them having no impact on his bank account later.

            It’s a damning account of 80s hypermaterialism.

            Yes, I know, history rhymes and Socrates was right about the youth being out of control.

          How many kids did anything toward that goal, such as forming a band, learning how to play an instrument or sing, actually landing that first gig at a local bar or something…

          … vs how many kids nowadays … have a social media account they post to religiously?

            Forming a band? Tons. You couldn’t drive down a neighborhood block without hearing someone banging on drums in a garage, or an amp pealing its notes out from an open window.

            I would bet the amount of ‘bands’ that formed and the amount of kids that post videos to become influencers have a pretty similar number.

          This is really different though. In so many ways.

          Looking up to rock stars was different from parasocial relationships with people you watch hundreds and hundreds of hours of.

          The volume of content dictates so many differences between rock stars and influencers just on its own.

            Different in some ways? Sure, maybe, but go watch the videos of people at the Beatles concerts, or Michael Jackson concerts, etc. etc. They look like they’re losing their minds just while he is standing on stage looking around before the performance. Humans have incredibly sick relationships to any ‘star.’ Look at athletes and their incredible influence on kids. Holy hell, for a recent one just look at taylor swift and getting people to register to vote.

            Is there a room for humans in those garages? Why does every house these days need to dedicate so much of their square footage to cars.

            Also, I’m aware there are substantial price differences in different markets - I’m in Canada and, specifically, Vancouver - our market is insane… but gone are the days of a modest home for under 200k.

    Insurance ain’t gonna pay that claim. And he got banned from the platform.

    But I’m sure most of the money came from his parents anyway. McLarens aren’t cheap; I doubt he bought it himself.

    I’d like to think that if was helping, I would have the presence of mind to realize he was filming himself. I would have taken a moment to grab his fucking phone and fling it as far away into oncoming traffic as possible.
