infernal machines posted:their mandate is evidently to protect the shareholders, which they accomplish by never doing anything that might adversely affect the share price, including preventing the ceo from making materially false statements about the company. because of course if they were to censure him for that, it would cause the share price to drop and confidence in the company to fall Unfortunately this appears to be 100% right, which is why Musk was allowed to remain CEO after the $420 funding secured securities fraud issue.

Lutha Mahtin posted:as someone who worked in the human services field for a decade, imo kanye probably has some kind of health condition that he doesn't always have under control. it's not an insult towards him to say this either, imo it's probably hard as hell on him to have to deal with whatever he has going on. it's also really gross some of the things people say about him i thought he literally said at some point that he has bipolar disorder. certainly it would explain how he'll sometimes just totally disappear from public view and other times make an entire new album in a week

I'd agree that kanye probably has that michael jackson disease, the one where everyone in your inner circle is more interested in extracting money from you than your actual health

someone like kanye also scores multiple bingos on a "people who are less likely to seek mental health treatment" card. the stigma is real

quote:He became a Jehovah's Witness in 2001, following a two-year debate with bassist Larry Graham, who became his mentor and a close friend at this time. He did not consider it a conversion but a "realization", comparing it to Morpheus and Neo in The Matrix. He attended meetings at a local Kingdom Hall and occasionally knocked on people's doors to discuss his faith.[349][350] Prince had needed double hip replacement surgery since 2005. A false rumor was spread by tabloids that he would not undergo the operation because of his religious beliefs, which included a refusal to have blood transfusions.[351] The Star Tribune reported that Graham "denied claims that Prince couldn't have hip surgery because his faith prohibited blood transfusions"[352] and put the false rumor to rest as hip surgery does not require any blood transfusions.[353][354][355] According to Morris Day, Prince in fact had the hip surgery in 2008. This was another manifestation of people attempting to manipulate and control him with no criticism or balance involved. please stop this.

i get that you most likely had a loved one or family member killed by the JW's anti-medical-intervention beliefs. i almost lost my junior year best friend because her insane JW grandma drove her to slit her wrists and i was the one driving the car to go try to bandage her up before she bled out. but "gently caress prince" does nothing and makes you look like a reactionary cancel culture jackass that got a search alert for your FBI Top Ten and it's super annoying to kramer the gently caress into an earnest discussion about queer role models to piss and moan about a weird religion he got into AFTER all his formative work was released. its like those super loving tedious shitbags that crawl into beck threads with BUT HE WAS A SCIENTOLOGIST FOR A WHILE. mellow gold didn't get any less good after any of them posted that.

For someone who isn't interested in having this argument, you are really keen on carrying on with it in this thread about Elon Musk and his dumbshit companies. Regardless, Prince would have to go a hell of a long way to be as destructive as Musk. After all, this is the guy who keeps claiming his cars have self-driving capabilites, despite the fact thay they can't tell the difference between open space and a white truck that is directly beside you.
