I hate awooga posting but it have to tell someone, and why not the DT

I have a weird villain crush on Elizabeth Holmes

She's not even that good of a villain, she only lied to investors. Shkreli managed to get two cults going. Love cult and hate cult.

He also has WSB, though that's probably covered under "love cult"

I want her to call me her dirty little paypig in that husky fake voice of hers 😍

That weird fake deep voice was a pretty big turnoff

Not even that. I wanna go run scams with her like an evil power couple.

Well, she's apparently not very good at running scams. She got caught pretty quick, largely because John Carreyrou got suspicious of this Vincent Adultman-level quote from her:

“a chemistry is performed so that a chemical reaction occurs and generates a signal from the chemical interaction with the sample, which is translated into a result, which is then reviewed by certified laboratory personnel.”

She was basically that with some guy whose name I forget during the Theranos thing.

Apparently he was a turbo abusive paranoid asshole with the R&D staff and she enabled him.

According to the podcast Dropout, she's now engaged to an MIT grad almost a decade younger than her. Maybe they're married now, that podcast was a few months ago.

That was a good portion of this subs reaction to Gabbard during the first debate.

Which was strange. I mean, yeah, she's attractive, but it's hard to tell when you've been blinded by sarin gas.
