Theranos

A defunct health care corporation invented by Elizabeth Holmes that was once considered revolutionary in conducting blood tests that required only a finger-prick but there was one big problem; it was too good to be true. It was a big sham. The technology was worthless (engineers with their PhD's couldn't get the blood testing equipment to work), the tests were highly inaccurate (one example; a patient complained about ringing in her ears, Theranos test said she was at risk of having a stroke, her doctor thought something seemed off, gave her a real blood test and it turned out the symptoms were just the result of insomnia!), investors were mislead despite a boatload of red flags (Theranos never demonstrated the technology and showed them the labs. Investors just liked the cool idea of a test requiring just a drop of blood), the company was tyrannical chaos and mistreated their employees pretty harshly, etc.

Holmes and her equally scummy partner/sugar daddy Sunny Balwani have been indicted for wire fraud. Just read the book "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup" by John Carreryrou if you want to get the full details. A must-read.

I'm just glad I never got sick and relied on a Theranos blood test. I might have died!

DRE

Drug Recognition Expert. They're trained & certified in determining whether or not somebody who's been arrested for DUI has been using drugs after they blew a 0.0 BAC.

Overall, it's pseudoscience at best. They're not medical doctors and frankly do not possess the training or skill to accurately interpret medical conditions, take vital signs and determine muscle rigidity and the causes thereof.

It's all opinion & I would imagine they feel like a total ass after they realize that the person's urine was squeaky clean...

The DRE process is flawed & they don't know as much as they think.

Shaved head

A look that gets more fashionable every year.

Contrary to what insecure incels and neckbeards say on the internet, but it's a look that leaves the panties of a lot of women the polar opposite of dry. They really like it. However, having a decently shaped noggin and face are factors to pulling it off but it will still always look better than a combover no matter what.

My hair is slowly going, but I'm going for the shaved head look. My sex life is improving too!

OnlyFans

Something that no dignified man who has options with women, whether he's financially well-off or handsome, would be caught dead subscribing to.

Brad: Would you subscribe to this chick's OnlyFans account?

Paul: Fuck no! I'm a good-looking guy. I could have her in real life.

Uncle Tim

The nickname for Tim Scott, the disingenuous black US Senator from South Carolina.

Oh look, Uncle Tim is kissing the white MAGA's ass again.

Remote Learning

A piece of shit alternative to in-person learning and the fact that colleges won't reduce the tuition even a little bit is obscene.

It's a fucking joke and there will probably be a reckoning for universities once COVID-19 is alleviated.

College is so rewarding and engaging in-person, but remote learning fucking sucks and students are sick of getting ripped off!
