Microsoft hasn't innovated anything in tech since the 90's. Every new product or service they release is a shitty knockoff of a company that is doing it much better.

They're one of the most anti-consumer companies in the world. The machines they build are designed so they can't be repaired.

John's other fanboi favorite, Apple, is if anything even worse. The original iPhone actually had the battery soldered to the board for utterly no technically necessary reason, just to discourage so much as even replacing the battery. Even the later MacBook Pro "unibody" design essentially required you to disassemble the case just to get to the battery. While I can and have done these things, most people don't have a soldering station. Most people do not have screwdriver heads for tiny tri-lobe screws that nobody fucking uses.

While Apple has certainly taken their insanity to extremes, they certainly aren't the only company to do this. Even old Compaq techs will remember the goofy ass Torx head screw Compaq used in many of its products, which were often not only in unusual sizes, but also had a dimple in the middle so a normal Torx wouldn't even fit in. I can't even count the hours of rage I've spent dealing with these shit products when they inevitably went belly-up on the dumb assholes who cheaped out and bought this garbage.

John is a repulsive idiot who supports the absolute worst practices of the absolute worst companies on the planet. This is a man who considers EA something to emulate.

Someone should tell Wu that the House, the legislative body she's running for, doesn't have jack shit to do with confirmation hearings.

They should probably start by explaining what a House representative actually does since she has no clue. This is a person who did take college classes in political science and worked an internship at a Congressman's office. It's an outstanding accomplishment in ignorance that John has a weaker grasp of the American political system than your average middle schooler.

Has anybody informed her there is no liquid computing subcommittee? Maybe she'll drop it.

John has repeatedly claimed he'd "filibuster" as a House Representative, even though that's literally impossible in the House. Anyone trying it would literally be ushered off the property once they were told to STFU and refused to do so.

Wasn't there a time where he wanted to sell the Revolution 60 IP to some big company like EA because he was expecting the game to become super duper popular? I swear I've read that somewhere once.

It was around the time she kept Tweeting about how she’d get a BMW motorcycle with her “bonus.”
 
Is Brianna the Tommy Wiseau of tech? Let's examine some similarities.

1. Enormously over inflated opinion of ability despite zero talent
2. Not taken seriously by anyone in the industry
3. Many details of early life are shrouded in mystery
4. Looks, dresses and sounds like a complete weirdo
5. Magnum opus was a hugely expensive and collosal commercial flop
6. Is a pathological bullshit artist
7. Male
8. Seemingly endless font of money to throw down the drain on ill conceived pet projects
9. Almost always seen sporting unique clothing item (sunglass for Tommy, gut belt of fail for Johnny)

No. People actually like Tommy Wiseau. Tommy Wiseau is also aware on some level that he's viewed as insane, and actually turned his notoriety as a failure into being an actual success. John lacks this ability. He actually thinks he really is a success.

Tommy Wiseau also actually somehow got the money together to fund his own bizarre project. John just got the insane screaming chink he married to fund every idiotic venture he's ever failed at.

Tommy Wiseau is a vast success when compared in any way to John.

Wiseau has actually achieved some measure of mainstream success. John's stinkditch would burst from his pants as a hideously deformed,throbbing erection if he ever got a major motion picture made about him. You need to be a much bigger failure than Tommy to be on John's level.

Well, to be more accurate they view him as an amusing curiosity more than anything else. A cow if you will...

Initially Tommy did not realise this and took himself completely seriously if I understand things correctly. There is a non-zero (but absolutely tiny) chance Brianna might, in the years to come as the victim bucks dry up, be forced to acknowledge this too.

For all we know there is the female equivalent of Frank behind the scenes funding Tommy. Some 80 year old Asian woman with a screamface locked in the attic, howling silently into the night, begging for deaths sweet release.

Turning $6,000,000 into $1,800 seems pretty much on par with Johnny.

It was in some of the early GSK vanity pieces put out by Wu's pals. It's been John's dream for years to sell his shitty ideas to larger companies so he doesn't have to do any of the work himself. With SOCCON, he went as far as to write a horrendous script for a McDonald's ad to show how "marketable" his characters could be.

Things Flynt/Wu has claimed he will do all by himself as a member of the House that members of the House either cannot do or that can only be done with the consent of a majority of a House committee:

Filibuster
Sign legislation
Issue subpoenas
Issue instructions to federal agencies
Hold hearings
Pass legislation in areas where the Constitution explicitly denies any authority to the federal government


I'm probably forgetting a couple, but that list reveals an ignorance of how Congress works that would earn a flat-out F in a high school civics course. I would pay good money to watch Flynt/Wu chimp out in a debate with moderators and opponents who pointed out all of this cretin's factual blunders.
