Personally I put the ceiling of how much fraud you can play the ND card for at around $1,000.

note: scam skisnow for $999

Thankyou. As someone who has actually been actually diagnosed with actual autism and ADHD, it fucks me right off when people act like total cunts then claim it's because of either of those conditions, just as much as it does when they claim it's because of their starsign. Her acts were hers alone, not mine.

she seems to believe in her own grift

She's a manipulative psychopath. She had children to try and get a more lenient sentence.

But, Elon Musk has done worse and no one seems to care.

What part of speech is the word "doc" in that headline?

Noun

You refuse to see the film to which would allow you to have an actual informed opinion of it? It's all paid promotion every single one of the people who helped it get a 99% on rotten tomatoes and a 9.5 on IMDb? Nathan fielder and a24 are out here running gorilla campaigns on the fediverse.

Oh THAT'S who she is. I didn't connect the dots for so long. I really wasn't paying attention to any of this. But I remember now.

Yep

I think that's an incredibility compassionate take, and for that I instantly and unconditionally love you.

I think compassionate people tend to trip on something, and I think you're tripping on it right now. I think other people trip in the opposite direction. Let me explain:

When you watch a nature doc where a lion hunts some poor baby antelope, maybe you're rooting for the antelope. It just wants to live. But the lion has to eat. It's incompatible. Just to be a dick I always say to my wife "think of the the baby lions that'll starve if the lion doesn't catch an antelope!".

They're fundamentally incompatible outcomes. You can accept that, choose who you're going to root for (or neither), remain empathetic to both. It isn't NECESSARY to reject empathy for one to root for the other. It's your mind playing a trick on you to save you from feeling bad for whoever gets screwed. You can sit with something bittersweet.

Is this putting ND on blast? YEP. Is it providing a vehicle for people being abused by people with ND to recognize that? YEP.

Fundamentally incompatible outcomes. It's completely reasonable to hold a position like "I hate that this puts ND on blast, but ultimately this leads to the better outcome". I think "this is the better outcome... And people with a legitimate disorder can eat shit" is not.

feels exploitative

Oh no the poor convicted fraudster.

Why would she deceive? She engages with people as normal human beings.

1. This stupid fucking documentary has been pushed by a million advertising sites. OP, delete this horse shit and stop spreading it. Holmes should be in a cell forever instead she gets more famous by a movie. Fucking dog turd world.

it's a good movie and if I have a paycheck coming my way for saying that, please tell me who to contact to receive it.

Not as an excuse. She's going to prison for defrauding people. But like the entertainment aspect of it icks me. I just feel like if I go to the theatre I'm going to be sitting next to a person who just bought a ticket to watch the funny cringy lady twist under the gaze of the cameras.

Apparently the super close up thing is kind of the co-director's calling card for all of his documentaries.

Also pretty sure Nathan Fielder is ND. If not he's a hell of an actor. I don't know if you saw The Curse or the Rehearsal, but he's a lot deeper than just comedy.

It's not like she's getting off the hook just because I feel uncomfortable about a movie making entertainment out of her fucked up psyche.

Meh your loss. I honestly was skeptical as hell too and this movie isn’t gonna be for EVERYONE. But there are just some different things that are very fresh for a documentary - if you can even call it that. I’m not even sure anymore. I need to watch it again. And lol who would even pay shills to post on Lemmy anyways. Sign me up Soros!
