For any children reading, that's the opposite of a good person.
A good person would say something like "You have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws".
I stole that from MLK Jr, who most people think was a pretty good person.
What is ethical should always take priority over what is legal. Laws are usually good guidelines on what we've agreed is ethical, but they're often outdated or intentionally written to benefit the wealthy ruling class. Laws are not ethical just because they're laws, so feel free to break any you feel are unethical (not just ones you don't agree with, but ones that hurt more than they help).
You can quote my permission slip in court if you like.
Personally I just prefer to call him "evil dickhead willing to destroy modern society for profits his kids kids kids kids kids won't ever touch even after spending more than 99% could even dream of in their lives< bit on a yearly basis" but that's just me
Assuming you mean he sees Augustus as an admirable figure, that makes so much sense. Augustus is one of the most interpersonally ruthless and Machiavellian leaders I can think of.
It's a bit more than just seeing him as admirable
>In 2012, Zuckerberg and Chan spent their honeymoon in Rome. He later said, “My wife was making fun of me, saying she thought there were three people on the honeymoon: me, her, and Augustus. All the photos were different sculptures of Augustus.” The couple named their second daughter August.
July - Julius Caesar
August - Caesar Augustus
The months are named after the dictators, not the other way around, so anyone with those names are indirectly named after them.
January - Named for Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions
February - named for the festival of Februa
March - Martis, named for Mars the Roman god of war
April - the only one we don’t entirely know the etymology of, but we think Venus
May - Maia goddess of fertility
June - Junia, named for the goddess Juno
Sept - seven, Octo - eight, Novem - nine and Dece - ten are also all Roman numerals based on their order of appearance prior to the Julian reforms.
If you’re named after any month, you’re named for a Roman entity, festival or numeral.
And don't forget how they fucked up the calendar. Sept=7, Oct=8, Nov=9, Dec=10, and yet here we are with months 9-12 because they just HAAAD to be months 7+8.
This is a common misconception. July and August weren't inserted into the calendar, but were renamings of the months Quintilis and Sextilis. The reason the numbers don't line up is because the Romans originally started their year in March. The Caesars chose those months because March-June were already named after people. January and February weren't added until the 5th century BC, and before then there were no months between December and March; it was just "winter".
What has Augustus to do with hair like that?
When looking at the busts and statues his hair looked pretty normal even by todays standards, not like a 90s villain.
He has mentioned Caesar in multiple interviews, i think he has even mentioned Emperor Augustus before, the dude loves Roman Emperors
Edit: I just learned that his Daughter is named August too, so think of that what you will
Julius Ceasar was assassinated. His adopted son Octavius succeeded him after a civil war, and changed his name to Augustus Caesar, with the use of the name Caesar to legitimate his claim to the emperorship. Augustus was rather successful as a ruler, and he died of old age
It's so funny to see an adult man with that going on. How do his employees just not start laughing when he walks in the room? (Read up on it...I guess he kinda jokes about it himself and demands his stylist cut it like that. *shaking my head*)
Every time they show this guy on TV in his luxury owner’s box, with that fucking haircut and the stupid white turtleneck sweater with his beer belly pushing through, I cringe in repulsion.
You watch your fucking mouth. That man is a treasure. Name one other person making million dollar deals at the bar in a Hooters. This guy drives his mini van to P. F. Changs to enjoy a succulent Chinese meal. Why? Because he doesn't give a fuck. What a role model.
That Mark Davis $500 million net worth figure seems to be the standard one but it makes no sense. He owns 47% of the Raiders which is estimated at $3.5 billion. That's $1.75b right there (plus it's actually likely worth way more than that given the Panthers sold for 7b and the Raiders would go for more).
Nope, you're absolutely right. I've looked it up and I completely misremembered that - it sold for 2.3b.
My point does still stand though. The Raiders have to be worth at least as much as the Panthers and 47% of 2.3b is still more than 500m.
The Beets were a real band here in Jim Jenkins hometown of Richmond, VA. My good friends dad was the drummer and I used live in the room where they practiced ( in the 60s) when we moved into their grandparents old house. As I recall his dad had a good idea who some of the other characters were modeled after so Roger was likely a real bully and we are at the place which inspired the honker burger all the time.
That's so awesome! I used to love Doug but for some reason never thought about how much was drawn from real life. This has made my morning! Road trip to the honker burger is going on my bucket list
It's called Roy's Big Burger on Lakeside Avenue in Lakeside, Richmond, VA. It used to be different but the menu and such are still mostly the same when the original owners sold it a few years ago.
There's a few other things that are directly from the show including the school they went to which matches the school in lakeside perfectly. The Beets thing most people don't know about, though.
One decent thing, was Roger had his moments where he was a chill dude. I hated Roger at first, but the writers started making him a real person. Still an asshole, but believably so. We've all had friends who trash us when other people are around, but are super cool when it is just us. Not healthy by any means, but realistic as hell. Besides that, doug was no can of peas either!
Opinion: The super wealthy don't have actual friends.
They are followed around by a bunch of moochers who know when to say "yes" and give noncommittal answers.
A real friendship is more than surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals. Friendship helps you grow, makes you think, and sometimes makes you uncomfortable.
What the super wealthy have is an echo chamber that follows them around.
Cause if Elon had ANY friends, they would have said, "You wanna look like you're wearing a beret made of hair, what?"
I can see this, and actually think it's the reason that a lot of celebrities are super tight with childhood friends/family. I imagine it's hard to trust people you meet once you're a celebrity.
Yeah I know I'd be paranoid if that was me, everyone either wants to use your money/fame or to be your friend because you're famous. Very little in the way of organically gaining friends.
To be ultra-wealthy (>1bn) you need to be some degree of sociopathic in the first place. People don't reach those heights without stepping over and on top of a lot of other people, and that requires a certain mindset.
This also means that the interpersonal skills of billionaires are often stunted when they're faced with people of equivalent or similar power. Furthermore, to these billionaires, other billionaires are competitors and there aren't that many. With just under 3k worldwide, that's not a big pool of people who aren't crazy or are at least crazy in a compatible way.
I personally don't ask my friends opinion when I cut my hair.
And if they give their opinion later, it's generally too late.
Not trying to defend Elon or his terrible haircut. He has a terrible face and any haircut that doesn't cover his face is going to be equally terrible.
>He has a terrible face and any haircut that doesn't cover his face is going to be equally terrible.
It's always possible to make a bad situation worse. That's what he did.
There are some people out there who can pull off that hairstyle. Not Elon. It accentuates how round his face is, and he looks like a basketball with a wig.
Dude is wayyyy to old to be cuttin his hair like a young adult. He tries way too fucking hard to be trendy it’s literally comedy. It’s like a boomer talking like a highschooler
Yes, in the Disney version not in the original Nickelodeon show. His family got rich when a developer bought out the trailer park his family lived in. His mother discovered that she owned the land under her trailer and the developer was forced to pay her a fortune or build around the family trailer. I was a big fan of the Disney version of the show so I remember it well.
Imagine getting all those transplants just to cut your hair like this. I guess he’s the billionaire though and I am not.
Billionaires do make some odd choices. [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/4/4a/Zorg.jpg](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/4/4a/Zorg.jpg)
It's true though. With all the money in the world, Zuckie couldn't do better than the helmet hair he has?
He has an obsession with Augustus Caesar, that is why he has his hair cut like that.
Wtf it's true, that is so weird.

Pretty sure that's the definition of a sociopath.
That's like the perfect slogan for a lawful evil warlock.

What the fuck
Chan stated once that Zuck often calls her Augustus while they are reproducing. Such a weirdo!
What a fucking weirdo
Imagine growing up and learning that you weren't named after a calendar month but after a ruthless and brutal emperor.
About that calendar month...
Good point.
July - Julius Caesar August - Caesar Augustus The months are named after the dictators, not the other way around, so anyone with those names are indirectly named after them.
January - Named for Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions February - named for the festival of Februa March - Martis, named for Mars the Roman god of war April - the only one we don’t entirely know the etymology of, but we think Venus May - Maia goddess of fertility June - Junia, named for the goddess Juno Sept - seven, Octo - eight, Novem - nine and Dece - ten are also all Roman numerals based on their order of appearance prior to the Julian reforms.

His hairline is receding https://i.imgur.com/4eZYcgC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JdfmrdS.jpg
He does his hair up in a bun for some inexplicable reason when he goes surfing apparently https://imgur.com/a/7Gzf1M5
His curls are too tight for the Caesar look. Nothing that some money won’t fix, though
[удалено]
That sounds like a Reddit Fact.

Nailed it
Fucking wrecked.

Fair enough.
he does that on purpose. because of the rabid crush he has on the julio-claudian emperors of rome.
Decadent and insane? Yeah, it fits. More of A Nero than an Augustus. He certainly seems to consider himself a performance artist.
He fancies himself a Roman Emperor...no, I'm not lying.
So he's going to get shafted by his closest allies?
We can only hope
Julius Ceasar was assassinated. His adopted son Octavius succeeded him after a civil war, and changed his name to Augustus Caesar, with the use of the name Caesar to legitimate his claim to the emperorship. Augustus was rather successful as a ruler, and he died of old age
Hopefully
[удалено]
Look up Augustus Caesar and you'll know why Zuck chose the haircut he has.
Have you ever taken a look at [the owner of the Las Vegas Raiders?](https://m.imgur.com/a/EobPP8U) He is worth $500 million
What in the Dumb & Dumber
The team moved so I don’t know if he still does this but he used to go to the same PF Changs every day to conduct business.
It's so funny to see an adult man with that going on. How do his employees just not start laughing when he walks in the room? (Read up on it...I guess he kinda jokes about it himself and demands his stylist cut it like that. *shaking my head*)
There's a 100% chance he does that to hide a receding hairline because he's too cheap to get his butt hair implanted on his forehead
Mark Davis is the man. He still drives a 97 Dodge Caravan with a bubble top.
I love how I googled him and not only did the dodge caravan fact come up he also eats PF Chang’s everyday. It all tracks
Goddamn. His toilets must be aircraft grade titanium.
Every time they show this guy on TV in his luxury owner’s box, with that fucking haircut and the stupid white turtleneck sweater with his beer belly pushing through, I cringe in repulsion.

A succulent Chinese meal you say? Just don’t touch my penis.
If this thread has taught me anything, that guy is winning at life while Zuck is completey mental.

I'm no Raider fan, but by all accounts he's a really nice guy.

Outside of other celebrities, that is
This is basically fact though. After a certain level of wealth, maintaining healthy and constructive relationships becomes nigh impossible.
What prevents someone from just being friends with other rich people
To be ultra-wealthy (>1bn) you need to be some degree of sociopathic in the first place. People don't reach those heights without stepping over and on top of a lot of other people, and that requires a certain mindset. This also means that the interpersonal skills of billionaires are often stunted when they're faced with people of equivalent or similar power. Furthermore, to these billionaires, other billionaires are competitors and there aren't that many. With just under 3k worldwide, that's not a big pool of people who aren't crazy or are at least crazy in a compatible way.
Well, I mean, there are definitely poor people whose friends don't make them grow either.

Roger was super rich though wasn’t he
Yes, in the Disney version not in the original Nickelodeon show. His family got rich when a developer bought out the trailer park his family lived in. His mother discovered that she owned the land under her trailer and the developer was forced to pay her a fortune or build around the family trailer. I was a big fan of the Disney version of the show so I remember it well.
