    No that's another vampire guy I think they based it on Peter Thiel that has just random young guys give him blood, wonder how many tech guys are doing it.

      Quite a bit, you can get it commercially and it only costs a couple hundred per appointment per month (for the lowest tier of blood) and some health insurances cover it after deductibles

      It is a bit more expensive to reserve a personal blood boy/girl but you can choose the exact traits you want from the person you're getting it from and is worth it imo

      I personally have a cute fit blonde blood girl with sparkling light blue eyes to help with my feminization process

      Oh yeah, but I always saw the characters of that show to be composite of real-life people. And as composite characters, they aren't specific to one person but the whole industry as a whole. Gavin Belson is a Steve Jobs but we are seeing he's more of a Musk-type person. I would argue that Mike Judge made these characters out of the people who are in the industry rather than one specific person. Because this industry is going to collapse and the people who collapse it are going to teach in a prestigious university where they only perpetuate their bullshit and it becomes a cycle of capital. Today it's the internet and tomorrow whatever comes after that gets destroyed by capital's very extractive nature.
