“Grew up somewhere poor” vs “my parents gave me $200k for my first startup (a failed animation studio) and a PlayStation dev console. Also sent me to space camp.”

How do people ignore the inconsistency in his fake background?

99% of the world does not give a shit about Wu or his tales of growing up as a poor black child. If he actually made it into Congress, things might get a little more interesting, but until then he's just a garden-variety pathological liar on the Internet. You know they're lying, they know they're lying, but they'll never admit to it, and is it really worth pointing it out when they can just block and ignore you?

The remaining 1% ignore it either because they're cucks not brave enough to call Wu out on his bullshit, or because they themselves have similar made-up backstories. Wu's story about fixing up an old car is certainly more believable than someone claiming they have PTSD because Daddy asked them to pay rent or some such.

Technically, she did originally enrol at ole miss as an engineering major. It's just she was apparently shit at it and dropped out to go to business school.

I'm almost positive that "dropped out" is far too kind. I believe he had to attend Millsaps before Ole Miss would take him back. Otherwise, he would have simply changed majors at Ole Miss.
 
“When I was growing up, my parents didn’t buy me a car. But they did give me the parts and the tools to fix one up that barely ran.
Those skills led to me spending a summer rebuilding a ‘68 MGB with a friend.”

Translation:
“My parents not only bought me a car, but they hired the best mechanic in Mississippi to restore it while I watched and constantly pleaded, ‘is it done yet??’ After spending many hours pestering him mercilessly, he finally let me go run errands to find parts, sometimes taking me hours to find. That man became my best friend that summer and even gave me a cool nickname, ‘annoying shithead.’”
 
Original tweet baleeted or something but I can only assume that it was about not being able to enjoy a children's cartoon because there were too many penises in it.

That's correct John and the best way to stand in solidarity with the working class is continually spout of platitudes about diversity and identity politics that nobody on the left or right gives a flaming dogshit about.

That's what amuses me about this "ally" bullshit, leaving aside that buddy there might be specifically an 'ally' to our duskier brethren rather than to women en masse and J. W. Flynt. A friend can talk to you on the level, disagree, and you won't get pissed at the guy because you know he's coming from a good place, whereas "ally" seems to involve simply following orders and shutting up when told.
 
"That's why working people aren't sure we stand for them."

The screwed-over working people of Giant Spacekat were definitely sure you didn't stand for them.

After all, Giant Spacekat was run by a misogynistic man pretending to be an ally to women (among other things), while ruthlessly pocketing the wages of his women workers. All so he could use the ill-gotten gains to buy the absolute essentials of life: A vanity campaign, a 3D printer, and a car that he customized to fulfill an infantile fantasy. Oh, and a "drivers seat" office chair that Kirk Milhouse would envy because it pairs well with a racing-car bed.

Ally. You keep using that word, John. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I have a sbc that's light enough for a drone and powerful enough to navigate websites by CV.
Actually this one is advertised for CV use. https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/buy/jetson-tx2 .
Also udoo has much more powerful one about to hit the market soon.
While it's not the kind of stuff that weapons are usually made of the military grade components aren't far behind (I am too stoned to find some) so they've definitely got this stuff in prototype at least.

There will be lots of innovation in military drones for the foreseeable future along with advances in countermeasures but that has nothing to do with keeping out "bad hombres".

There are some manufacturers of combustion engine industrial drones, some can lift ~250-300lbs IIRC and they can spend a decent amount of time in the air. Mini-helicopters, but not as capable in any way.
 
I'm 99% sure that John meant to type "white collar" instead of "blue collar" and simply failed to catch the mistake before publishing the tweet. During the last scampaign, he regularly repeated the same fake anecdote about meeting some of Frank's Harvard graduate colleagues at a social event to discuss political fundraising only to blow the minds of those biomedical engineering dudebros by explaining how he changes the oil of his own Porsche in his driveway. He even used the exact same "white collar" phrasing to characterize Frank's colleagues.

That was sloppy posting on my part, I should have said be able to carry CV powerful enough to allow it to autonomously navigate in the real world at speed.

I'm pretty sure I know what "god the wall is completely useless given this unlikely scenario" talking point John is trying to parrot, which was the Cartels or Al Queda loading a few hundred cheap swarm drones with Cocaine/Anthrax and sending them over the wall or through the gaps.
Which to be fair is a valid point, but its one of those tricks that will only work once, because its very easy countered. (and as mentioned, the short ranges involved means there are very good odds of the recipients getting busted).


ICE drones would have the cargo capacity and the endurance power to make them truly autonomous, but would be too expensive to send in bulk and too easy to spot being set up.

However, I think that we all agree that John was never a member of any elite, and it's unlikely that he will ever be.

John and Frank, John especially, wants to be seen as elite. He spends money to show off and appear upper class and yet he still appears as uneducated white trash instead.

"Elite" isn't the right word for either of their aspirations if you ask me. John wants to fit in with Silicon Valley dudebros, and Frank just wants to have the best toys he can imagine.

Frank could have used his money to try becoming a local big wheel in Democratic politics, but he preferred to spend it on dinosaur costumes and "zany" ads full of hand-drawn art by him. Nothing elite about it, but that's who he is.
 
Love the implication that $20,000 (about $31,000 in today's economy) isn't already a lot of money. Spoken like a true spoiled rich kid.

In fairness, a lot of big-name schools do charge far more than that for a single year.
On the other hand, in-state tuition for Ole Miss, even in the benighted Current Year, is a mere $7500 annually.
On the other other hand, if you happen to flunk out of Ole Miss and end up going to, say, Millsaps, you're already back up to $56000 per annum. Your doctor daddy better work hard.

Well at least one thing that many millennials do have that you don't John is a college degree.

College costs have spiraled out of control while admissions standards have fallen because federally backed students loans have turned colleges into the business of maxing out enrollment. There is no downside to enrolling someone who will never graduate, because the college gets its money. So now they just have to have pretty campuses with luxury dorms to bring in students, have them take a bunch of easy classes.

That's why college costs have gone up, there is no longer any incentive to try to keep them down. Its free money! Charge $100,000 a year, who cares! Do you think gender studies degrees would exist if anyone was actually accountable for the results of graduates?

You don't have to go to a traditional 4-year either. Go to community college, get your degree. Community college doesn't have bachelors programs? Transfer to their affliated university, apply for financial aid.
For don't even bother with a degree in gender studies. Go to trade school. Get apprenticeship. Shit, learn how to fix Rolexes and get paid to do it.

"Free college" is an utter crock. Look at what 20 years of nearly free money (thanks Clinton) have done to academia. And they want to make it completely free and give them more.
