Between October and November last year, Frost and Ahrens were filmed pitching plans for what they called a “gentlemen’s club”, with members paying for networking and training courses. While the plan now appears to have been abandoned, Ahrens seemed to suggest that recruits could be transformed into an elite group modelled on the SS

hmm where did I see something like this before. it's on the tip of my tongue...

Commenting purely on my own national history,

Trump, who has promised mass deportations should he win a second term as US president, told an interviewer last month: “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”

Couldn't possibly be from generations of inbreeding due to CSA. Sorry, can't think of a good euphemism, since "blue blood" implies wealth and "pedigree" faults the children who had zero choice in the matter.

I don't understand/can't see the point you're trying to make

Less well known, but perhaps more interesting given that the phrase blue blood has already been used.

For a second I was wondering how on earth race science got funded by torpedoing a network of tech billionaire.

@bitofhope @dgerard is that like torpedoing the submarine with the billionaires in it?

those self-crush, it's apparently a feature not a bug

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 15 hours ago

The bug is that it's hard too put billionaires in the self-crushing submarine, that difficulty needs to be nerfed
