    Anytime I see these types of terrible pics, I think of the planning this self-important asshole agonizes over while the struggling gig photographer has to keep their eyes from rolling out of their head.

    Peak narcissism and vanity, utterly shameless.

      struggling gig photographer

      Sure he doesn’t have a fancy tripod and set his iPhone 18 XL MAX or whatever on a half minute timer?

      Although these types might seek out the struggling gig photographer just to feel power over somebody. Lol

        You’re right, that definitely could have happened too. I just can’t help but think of him trying to describe the shot to somebody. Though it would be equally pathetic to see him snap the photo on timer, run over, look at pic, reset the timer, try again… for like 50 times.

    I used to work with him - he’s the CTO at a link-in-bio company, and yes, this is how he lives.

    Fun fact. I used to hate myself and the work I was doing when working there, though the pay was good. I lasted four months

    Is getting up at 5am supposed to be a flex? I’m a morning person and wake up at 5 every day just because my body is done sleeping.

    Oohh I know a guy exactly like this. Moderately rich, moderately successful in business and money and power is literally all he cares about and money is all he has. He has kids he doesn’t love, he only cares about "his legact’ and “his dynasty”

    He’s built and crashed like a hundred start-ups and a few became moderately successful so he has momey

    He beliefs he is universally loved, but everyone including his kids hate h because he’s an insufferable asshole who uses money to control people around him

    He’s obsessed with what people think about him and -again- thinks he’s super loved, but he’s super insecure as well, so posts pictures showing off his body building results to everyone but he pictures are AI enhanced which makes it all the sadder. He’s obsessed with staying young and not dying so he takes these special stat young IV drips, that sort of shit.

    Did I mention his relentless narcissism and psychopathic behavior where he loves to tot with people’s lives, just to fuck with them? Family included, if course

    He is a sad little man, really, whi one day will be buried in a golden casket but here will be nobody to say goodbye

    How shit do you have to be at coding to need to do it at 5am instead of enjoying sunrise on the beach?

    This dude needs to get good.
