The problem is when you start getting into what a therapist is actually meant to do. A therapist isn't meant to just be someone you go talk to for an hour, they're meant to help you really work on your mental health. For a lot of these conservative men, the issue is their worldview. In order to help heal them and get these men what they would deserve out of therapy, you would need to show them how their negative worldview is built upon a mountain of lies, and get them to let go of their irrational hate. A therapist that buys into and feeds their worldview is just an enabler that would be effectively scamming conservatives.

Only if you're a himbo on the level of Johnny Bravo.

I have two(?) that I did back to back.

The first was finishing One Piece. After nearly a full calendar year, I've finally caught up and have been actively watching Egghead.

The second was finishing the One Piece 4kids dub, which managed to just barely last a hundred episodes. If you're a huge fan of One Piece and B-movies, I'd highly recommend it. The scripts are awful, the censorship is nonsensical, and the obsession with accents is just bizarre, but the voice actors seriously nail the delivery. 4kids basically produced a One Piece parody for children, and it's so much fun to laugh at.

They're all pretty shitty, but Cuban is at least one of the less shitty ones. His work on reduced cost pharmaceuticals has been life-changing for some people, and is a really nice break from big pharma constantly trying to fuck you as hard as they can.

Yeah he's probably dying in the revolution, but towards the end. Assholes like Musk or Shkreli are far, far worse.

Yeah don't fucking do this if you care about your friend. These scams can end up putting people in life-threatening amounts of debt, and the shame of being scammed by someone they thought they loved has driven people to suicide.

OP, if you and your friends all really care about this guy, you should talk to him about it and try to prevent him from sending any more money. Maybe bring some research on "pig-butchering" schemes, which is probably what your friend is falling for unfortunately, and show them the similarities. If you still can't convince him, try and remain sympathetic so you can pick him up when the scam is finished.

Maybe the real Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was the friends we bit along the way.

How do you remaster something that was intentionally broken/buggy?

Thanks for the heads up! I'm one of those weirdos who thinks Burning Crusade is like peak WoW, but it's hard to find good private servers focused on the era.

You didn't have to mention his party, everyone knew he was a Republican from the headline.

I promise you, Everquest was plenty popular at the time, and it didn't invent those things either.

maybe a sauce with red chilis?
