2020-05-10 John's New Career

[Peace and Harmony]

The sun has set on the flaming bag of dog shit that was the John Flynt for Congress 2020 scampaign, which means new re,tarded machinations are now afoot. ITT discuss the next stage in the adventures of a dickless homosexual and his screaming Oriental spousal abuser roommate.

Journalist or author sounds right. You can ghostwrite that shit for little money

 

[Botchy Galoop]

If John chooses writing, I'd suggest he get a real good proof reader/copy editor. I can't parse that last sentence.

 

[Slowboat to China]

Please, no. Please do not go into cybersecurity. We have enough problems, thanks, and there's too goddamn many thinkpieces about WOMEN IN TECH cluttering the field already.

 

[CivilianOfTheFandomWars]

Journalist seems to be the most likely thing they’d fall back on. Otherwise, something mind bogglingly stupid.

 

[epigenes]

indulging in working out a ton? guess the last of us 2 really had an impact, huh
I'm curious what books he's reading, though. you'd think post-marxist thought would get boring after the first dozen books bring nothing new to the table
edit: pronoun trouble

Astrophysics?? It would help with the moon rock gambit.

 

[Optimus Prime]

As we saw right after Flu dropped out of being a game dev following getting R60 Spec. Ed. (Special Edition or Special Education? YOU DECIDE!), they went back to the one common thread that was observed waaaaaay back during the college years: journalism.

It's basically the means Flu keeps turning to as a pulpit to basically spout bullshit with what they hope is a captive audience. This, of course, has never worked and even though Flu will try again most likely, it will be the same end result since with the pandemic, nobody's going to give a fuck about gender politics (not like many fucks were given by the general public on the topic to begin with).

The truth is that Flu is just a fine example of a completely worthless human being with no actual self-sustaining skills people would pay money for. They'd probably be in a ditch dead of heroin overdose if Frank hadn't married 'em.

 

[Pampered Degenerate]

Whatever it is, I hope it's as high profile and public facing as possible for the ensuing hilarity when John inevitably fucks it up completely.

Going for author myself. Wu has "so much experience" to write about from being a "woman in tech," "experiencing harrassment from the alt right," "getting into politics" and his totally true childhood. The fact it's all lies or exaggerations means nothing to him and whatever ghost writer he'll hire

It is also something he can do on his own. Well, as much as he does anything on his own. His cybersecurity tweet is an obvious lie, or a gross over exaggeration, like someone tweeting he'd be good at cyber security or something after he threw around a few buzzwords.

Video is technically a possibility too for the same reason, but I don't know if Frank still has enough money to throw into that, and there's no way Wu is doing/knows how to do any of the heavy lifting required to make a game. I have similar thoughts on him writing anything lengthy. I imagine he'd start it, get bored, then write a cliff notes version and throw some of Frank's money at a ghost writer to cobble together a final product. If the ghost writer was particularly unlucky, John might be too lazy to even write an outline and just ramble over the phone instead and basically make the writer interview him.

Alternatively, he just writes a few short articles (and I use that term very loosely) that he throws on a user submission site like Medium. He probably has enough leverage to get some vague tech-sounding article on the likes of Polygon too if he reached out through twitter.

"I've also thought about making a video game."

Can't figure out why he wasn't elected.

Get ready for Crash Override 2: Electric BoogaWu.

Coming... Eventually.

 

[The Final Troondown]

Actor

He'll make an explosive hollywood debut starring in the slenderman movie

 

[Sexy Peach Emoji]

He's too fat. And slenderman doesn't have a face, making him the more merciful eldritch terror.

 

[Trigger Me Timbers]

Maybe some woke Corp will pay Johnny to become the thing progressives hate. A lobbyist.
Would be the smartest move to leverage his tiny political power and make some ez cash. However he will fuck that up because lobbyists need to be nice people to be around and John will scare away people. He will then write a buzzfeed article about transphobia in lobbying and get a job as a journalist.

Kind of makes me wonder if the mainlining heroin statement was true.

 

[John McAfee]

I wouldnt let him lobby for a small chain of snowcone shops. Also a game about running for office sounds fucking retarded if its in line with his experiences.

 

[Pikonic]

Maybe make that sequel to R60, that game that relied on a sequel for the story to not suck.

Ah, yes, Revolution 62, which was supposed to involve some kind of code that was generated at the end of the game because R60 had "choices".

IIRC some brave Kiwis tried to figure out what the code system and and eventually determined that it was all randomly generated horseshit and Revolution 62 was never intended to exist.
