Ever since I learned about the Dubai porta-potty I lost what little respect I had for influencers traveling to Dubai.

Just looked it up.

These are soulless monsters who can have literally everything but since nothing satisfies them anymore they wish to hurt and degrade others for the thrill of it.

I thought we were talking about the fact that Dubai doesn't have a functioning sewage system and has to get the shite out via lorry.

But this is on a whole nother level.

Dubai porta-potty

I looked this up and between this and the Epstein Island stuff ... like is regular sex just not enough for people?

Also, why can't filthy rich people use their money to help others ...

I think part of the problem is that the brain is never content with what it has. It becomes the new normal instead of luxuries.

Think about the a man, sleeping with beautiful women all the time - either escorts or gold diggers.

It becomes the new normal. He wants more. In what direction this want will go probably differs from person to person. There will be excess, perversion, cruelty, until that is the new normal. Getting more and more depraved. Limited only by that persons conscience and what he can get away with.

And for a sociopath and billionaire? There are are no limits, no crime he can't commit, no foul act he won't try. Torture. Children. Murder. Cannibalism. These people have been above the law for too long.

It isn't just the sex. It is a power thing.

They are basically the dark eldars of our time

Because the kind of brain that thinks "I deserve all this money" is broken, and not even close to resembling the brain that thinks "I should use the extra money I have to help others"

The two things are incompatible. Shit, I wouldn't even feel comfortable showing my face to employees who don't earn close to what I take. I'd be too ashamed that I'm essentially stealing from them since I'm not doing to work of 20 people (let alone 150,000) by myself.

The brain that doesn't have that shame doesn't even think about others, unless it's in the context of "how can I exploit this"

By divine right it’s theirs. That’s just how it is. They’re winners, there has to be losers, sucks to be you.

They really don’t invest much thought into it. They can’t.

But Elon Musk is going to pay the TSA himself. 🍆🍆🍆

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Because they are sociopaths. You and I would never get to the status of filthy rich because we would start giving money away before that.

[–] gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now I’m curious, but I don’t want to look it up.

[–] searabbit@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's exactly what you're imagining, yes, even that.

Smells bad because the chemicals can't keep up with the heat?

Dang. Gross.

I'm still unclear if this is a real thing or an urban legend. Sure prostitution is one of the main economic activities in Dubai, and I'm sure many cater to very specific fetishes. But is it like a real thing that happens regularly?

Oh look. The mega wealthy brutalizing people when they calculate they can get away with it.

Who could have guessed that was a universal trait

Ukrainian, invited to a party of rich Russians.

Not victim blaming as she for sure didn't deserve to have the shit beaten out of her but wtf?
