And sometimes he makes up stories out of thin air to justify working for Palantir—like that line about the medical debt. His parents don’t have any, nor are they ill.

I will lie to get laid. WHY DONT WOMEN LIKE ME?!

This douche is like a real life Barney Stinson with a victim complex.

I'd respect this douche a lot more if he just hired a sex worker and moved on.

Reading this, I'm just like "Dude, ahem, sorry, Douchebag! Just accept it. You're not a good person." And he won't be as long as he continue to work at Palantir (and afterwards too, unless he gave all his money to the people he's harmed and then worked tirelessly to do right by them...but we all know he's just another dude who is willing to lie to get laid).

Honestly if I worked in a big evil tech company, I'd just never date again and just accept it's Fleshlights and/or sex workers for the rest of my life. There's alot less shame in that than whatever the fuck this pathetic shit is.

In a lot of places the fact that sex work is borderline or strictly illegal complicates this.

Sex toys it is then for the evil techbro douchebags, may they die all sad and lonely, but hey, at least with occasionally drained ballsacks. Honestly, it's better than they deserve considering their crimes against humanity.

Sex worker: "Eww, you work for Palantir? No sale!!"
