FBI should inform themselves and read some classic webcomics about how that nice fast food manager that got fired because of feminazis found a good wife in Southeast Asia.

Sometimes I'd find a koolaid packet that had fallen behind the bread box and was probably like a year or two and I would mix it up anyway and it'll be all clumpy and wouldn't dissolve fully. I can only imagine what those packets are like now.

Cape Town is the premier tourist destination in South Africa. Wine tours, beaches, and scenic hiking are all within easy driving distance.

But if none of that sounds appealing, you can take a guided tour of a slum.

Mzu Lembeni runs one of the many tour companies that takes tourists into Cape Town’s townships, impoverished areas that were first created when the Apartheid government forced nonwhites to live in segregated areas.

On his tour, tourists can walk right into people’s homes, drink homemade liquor, play with children at a local school, and take as many pictures as they like.

For some people, this sounds like exploitation. But Lembeni, who grew up in a township himself, disagrees.

“If there was no poverty ... I'll do the township tour, because [of] the culture,” Lembeni says. “I don't sell the poverty, I sell the culture.”

Most of Lembeni’s clients are white Europeans, who have come to see the “real” South Africa. Mzu says his tours are the best way to do that.

In a country where more than half of the population lives below the poverty line, and where the shadow of apartheid still looms over daily life, a township is a pretty good primer on what “real” looks like for a lot of people.

But not everyone who lives in the townships likes the tourists who are constantly wandering their streets.

Today in late stage capitalism:

Elon Musk posted some fanart of 2B from Nier Automata on Twitter and people told him he should credit the artist but he didn't want to and was a jerk about the whole thing. I can't be bothered to find the actual tweet or whatever, so just imagine it in your head.

Not even bothering to find the tweet and therefore forfeiting likes is late stage like capitalism. :mjcry

Thank you for posting the 2B art so I could look at it without looking through Elon Musk’s twitter.

I love trashy documentaries, so I watched True Evil The Making of a Nazi - Herrmann Göring.

The documentary made the planned economy responsible for the Germans losing the arms race and their meddling with private companies was responsible for the lack of innovation.  :doge

Quote
At high-pressure seminars, the self-help superstar punishes people who don’t measure up by feeding them a “gross shot” of unidentified brown liquid. His lawyers denied the mixture contains laxatives.

Tony Robbins punishes followers who fail at his self-help tasks by calling them onstage in front of large crowds and making them drink an unidentified mixture “designed to have a lasting effect for several hours.”

Video and internal documents reviewed by BuzzFeed News reveal that Robbins places “L” stickers on audience members’ foreheads and then, while the song “Loser” by Beck plays over the speakers, forces them to down a “gross shot” whose contents he does not disclose to them.

The practice is part of a pattern in which the embattled self-help superstar urges his followers to ingest potions while on their quest to “live a healthier, wealthier, more fulfilling, passionate and purposeful life.”

One former staffer told BuzzFeed News that audience members are deliberately led to believe that the “nasty” mixture contains laxatives. "I always felt that this was highly inappropriate and falls into the category of public shaming, which is common for Robbins," he said.

Two more former insiders said they had also witnessed fans being given drinks at other Robbins events, which they were told would have health benefits but made many people sick.

“Participants were throwing up all over the place, in public restrooms, hotel rooms,” said Gary King, Robbins’ former director of security.

Robbins’ lawyers denied that the “gross shot” contained laxatives –– only “pickle juice, apple juice, lemon juice, tomato juice and a dash of tabasco” — and insisted that no “formal report or complaint was ever made” about the drink.
