Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[Ruin]

seven inches of tranny meat?

Can you rate a post triple optimistic?

 

[Ti-99/4A]

Would you ever close your mouth again after having it defiled with seven inches of tranny meat?

I'd have mine wired shut to keep that from ever happening again.

Can't erase the memory.

 

[Luminous Being]

Can't erase the memory.

It's called bleach.

 

[MysteriousStranger]

You mean Frank screaming in your presence? I would say so.

They are working so hard to come across as a nutty, goofy, fun-lovin', quirky couple, aren't they? I don't think Frank is screaming, I think he's making a scream face for the camera. I think they're all poses. Like, "Frank, make like you're screaming and for fuck's sake look like you're having fun."

The "Wu marriage" huh? Who says things like that?

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

Can't erase the memory.

Actually, 9mm Aspirin, applied directly to the palate, will work.

Like, "Frank, make like you're screaming and for fuck's sake look like you're having fun."

"You know... like you always do during Snoo Snoo"

And I don't believe the Wu's are wealthy, they're just getting by ok. Frank's like a patent agent right? That sounds like middle management to me at most. He sits at a desk all day and files and prepares patent applications. You don't have to be a lawyer to do that right?

He doesn't do patent applications for whatever schmo walks in the door with a new toilet paper holder. Even that kind of stuff brings in decent money. He does pharmaceuticals.

He isn't a lawyer. But he is a Ph.D. in bacterial genetics, and does the kind of patent applications that require that level of knowledge. The level of knowledge you need of prior art, the functional characteristics of pharmaceuticals (like antibiotics) and how they work, and what kind of patent applications will stand up against a challenge are critical, and I would not be surprised at all if he makes a lot more than the average lawyer. Sometimes billions of development dollars already spent are in the balance and you can't afford someone who will screw up the patent application and dump your new flagship drug into the public domain.

Here's some of the applications he's specifically listed as an agent on:

The starting pay for a patent agent is $80k-$110k, with Boston tending towards the higher end of that. Compare with a first-year associate attorney who makes $125k+. (Bear in mind, this doesn't go all that far is expensive-ass Boston.)

A lot of patent attorneys have advanced degrees in science or engineering in addition to a JD. Nowadays you can do the PhD first and then go to law school; sometimes the firm will even pay for it. It's interesting in Frank's case because becoming a full attorney is the logical next career advancement for someone on his path, yet he hasn't made it. Maybe he just didn't want to go to law school, or couldn't afford it. But without the JD, he can't move up, and he'll always be looked down upon by every other lawyer in the company.

Funny joke by John "Politics Junkie" Flynt - because libertarians are proponents of genocide on a planetwide scale, am I right?

Brianna Wu dreams of a world wherein sexism and racism are allowed as long as it's her doing them.

You know, an asshole.

He doesn't need it. He started out working for Morrison & Foerster, the premier intellectual property firm in the world, and was then a Senior Patent Agent for Novartis. Not starting salary stuff. Now he's something called Senior Director, Head of Intellectual Property for something called WAVE Life Sciences, which describes itself as: "a preclinical genetic medicine company focused on advancing stereopure nucleic acid therapeutics that precisely target the underlying cause of rare diseases, with a goal of delivering exceptional treatment options for patients."

A J.D. would be superfluous at this point unless he's actually interested in litigating shit, and since he hasn't done it, I doubt he's interested.

I'm looking at these filings. "Preclinical"? siRNAs administered orally? Hope Frank likes getting paid in IOUs.

Must be doing good if he can continue to finance that sinkhole called Giantspacekat.

You mean that sinkhole called Brianna Wu. I doubt fucking around with an ios port costs money

And they accomplish this by using their superpowers to bitch endlessly on Twitter about mansplaining and fake rape threats.

I always thought it was more about homosexuals rather than diversity in general. This can be really blunt in some of the movies, like in First Class where Xavier says he "outed" another mutant by mistake. One of the later movies literally has a "cure" for mutation, which all the mutants are offended over.
Of course the usual problem with this allegory is that the normal humans have a reason to fear mutants. Gay people don't secretly possess awesomely destructive powers and can kill thousands of people with a thought.

Biotech in Boston is huge and WAVE has some serious investors. I would be surprised if Frank is making less than $250k. In his position, when WAVE gets acquired by some behemoth like Thermo-Fisher he's going to be set for life. Or set for another failed attempt at Spacekat delivering a game.

Plus IIRC, Frank lives in a house owned by relatives and doesn't have to pay rent, which leaves a lot of disposable income... that goes straight into GiantSpergKat and Bribri's pay2win games, Apple gadgets and whatever hipster nonsense she's in love with at the moment.

I don't think she ever drank that shit at all. From all we know, Wu is most likely a Oreo binging, chain-smoking individual who allegedly runs ten miles a day, but is strangely lacking the statue of a runner. Drinking Soylent doesn't fit into this list.

I think she might have drank it, just because she wants to fit in with the rich cishet Silicon Valley brogrammers she idolizes. And because she's incapable of cooking for herself.
And as for running, she absolutely used to be into it - look at that ghastly pre-transition picture of her with Frank, where she had an emaciated figure and visibly muscular legs. It's obvious she hasn't been a runner for a long time by now though.
