    It’s not right wing nuts tech bros. It’s just one: Thiel. All the companies with the LOTR name have him as a common denominator.

    Also this news is weird I thought Palmer Luckey really hated Zuckerberg. Luckey was fired from Facebook because he supported Trump before basically any other Techbro except Thiel.

    “Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.” - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

      That doesn’t even really sound like hyperbole anymore.

    At least Luckey went with the name of the good guy’s sword rather than the bad guy’s surveillance device, like Peter Thiel.

      Both are funded by Thiel, it’s all Thiel down the way.

      I hate that both trademarks exist, but I’d say using a name form a Tolkien work to develop weapons is especially wrong.

  Palmer Luckey is one of the ugliest mother fuckers I’ve ever seen in my life.

    For anyone thinking of investing into Luckey’s company, I invite you to consider the fact that this man has access to the most expensive stylists in the world, and yet he chose to do that to his face and hair. Is this a man whose judgement you trust?

  Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move.

  See? Everything will be fine! We’re cutting science funding but with all this cool military tech we can just TAKE everyone else’s science.
