    “Charisma is about sex appeal” is funny, but that’s not really entirely accurate. It’s about motivating others towards your goals whatever that may be, having a presence that commands attention and being a good communicator. That’s why charisma helps disparate skills like lying, persuading, intimidating, and performing. Sex appeal may superficially help some of those things, but so does a half-giant that makes you piss yourself with their mere presence, or an old fat guy who speaks with clarity of conviction and intelligence. Ain’t nobody want to fuck Winston Churchill, and he was an asshole as well. But he was a very charismatic figure, still.





  • So I initially misunderstood and thought that they were netting 13 billion revenue. I was going to point out that the difference between 13 billion and 1.4 trillion is right about 1.4 trillion. But they’re not netting 13 billion. They’re netting NEGATIVE 13 billion. Their total gross revenue is only 4.3 billion. They need to QUADRUPLE their gross to make NOTHING. And THEN earn another 1.4 billion to pay off their agreements SO FAR. In one of, if not the, most oversaturated, highly competitive, geopolitically charged markets on the planet Jesus fucking Christ. They’re going to tank the global economy, or at minimum the US economy. We’re fucked. If I see these guys in the bread lines I’m beating them and stealing their bread.
