"Dumb rich kid crashes really expensive car. More at 11"

Who cares?

And perhaps my least favorite part, aside from him walking away relatively unscathed, was that this shitty article goes on to just use other YouTubers and influencers for reaction quotes.

It's like the they tried to directly convert a 90 second YT local news story, into an article.

    If y'all don't know how big of a piece of shit this kid is, it runs deep.

    There's a period of time where he would just taunt strangers to get into a confrontation, and then his bodyguard would step in.

    Well, his bodyguard punched someone in the face and he's getting sued like fuck.

    He also is basically an only fans pimp. He gets 18-year-old girls drunk on yachts and gets them to sign contracts where they'll do only fans content for a set fee per month while he takes all.

    It's truly amazing how big of a scumbag this kid is at such a young age.

    No wonder kid needs a body guard, he's gotta have one of the most punchable faces in the world. I give it 3 months until he catches a stray round to the dome for being a twat and the world can go back to not being aware of his existence.

    Sits with phone in hand while driving super car in the overtake lane in the rain.

    Crashes car

    Online commentators criticized Doherty for appearing to be more concerned about his wrecked car than his injured friend.

    Not a person i'd want others to be influenced by really. I hope sponsors eventually realise

    Influencer.

    That's what he does.

    We have failed.

    You are aware that the majority of kids aspire to be social influencers as a desired life/career path, yes?

    https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/gen-z-interest-influencer-marketing

    The majority of current US children do not want to be doctors or professors or plumbers or coders or truck drivers or electricians... they want to pursue a career path that has something like a one in a million odds of making them stupidly wealthy.

    Because that's what they see. All the time. A constant super, uber version of a reality tv show of wealthy idiot assholes doing and saying whatever they want and almost never facing any consequences.

    And to some extent, who can blame them?

    Every other career path has exceptional upfront costs of time and money, involves much, much more challenging work (either physical, mental or both) and are seen as basically just as risky in terms of actually working out.

    Fuck it. YOLO. Only got 10 or 20 years until the water wars or WW3 or climate change breaks everything anyway.

    I, too, had dreams of being a rock star when I was a kid.

    Checks for free. He's talking about writing personal checks, like in the beforetimes, and them having no impact on his bank account later.

    It's a damning account of 80s hypermaterialism.

    Yes, I know, history rhymes and Socrates was right about the youth being out of control.

    I agree with your entire comment, but from this point on, you really nailed it.

    Who knows what my attitude would be if I was in my teens or early twenties? I would be old enough to understand that I have almost no chance of building a “good” life. Everything’s fucked. Political systems, the labor market, and worst of all, the environment. Might as well earn money by being an idiot. At least then I’d be my own boss.

    “Help, help! Break the f—king window,” he yells as Good Samaritans rushed over. One of the witnesses helped carry Doherty out of wreck while the 20-year-old continued to film himself.

    I’d like to think that if was helping, I would have the presence of mind to realize he was filming himself. I would have taken a moment to grab his fucking phone and fling it as far away into oncoming traffic as possible.

    When will media stop with the "formerly Twitter"?
    They're trying to increase the relevancy of their "source" on X by saying it's basically the same as Twitter once was.
    But it isn't. It's a rotting zombie feasting on Twitter's long-dead corpse.

    Purely theoretical question. Just how big a catapult would you have to build to actually launch an average sized human male into the sun?

    I asked the Guh-Puh-Tuh monster to break it down like Randall Munroe and the results were surprisingly amusing.

    The short version is that the catapult needs to be many, many kilometers long, the human will be liquefied almost immediately, and there are much better ways to get to the Sun—namely, rockets.

    Insurance ain't gonna pay that claim. And he got banned from the platform.

    But I'm sure most of the money came from his parents anyway. McLarens aren't cheap; I doubt he bought it himself.

    Oh my God, it's that little cretin too.

    His parents are the worst, and they have created one of the worst humans on the planet.

    I like it except for the part where he put other drivers at risk. Put this idiot on a private racetrack with a brick wall at the end of it and let nature take him out.
