Once again current events have forced me to confront the difficult fact that Larry Ellison and John McAfee are actually two entirely different people and only one of them is dead.
@jwz If we lived in an alternate universe where the fates of the two men had been reversed, would we be able to tell the difference?
@zalasur "They're the same picture"

@jwz @zalasur
I knew John, and although he got wilder and crazier in later years, I've always found it difficult to believe *his* suicide as well.

But yes there is a similarity between the two cases, definitely.

(I'm not sure why some in this thread seem to approve of his death -- he didn't do anything like Epstein did)

@jwz Ellison looks a good 80% of the way there. Maybe we can just round up?

@jwz

The major difference is that unlike John McAfee, Larry Ellison hasn't been caught exploring romance with whales (yet), but perhaps that's why Ellison bought a private island.

@jwz You make me feel less alone in years of confusing the two.
@jwz God, you're such a pessimist. Why not reframe the situation in a more positive light? "While Larry Ellison and John McAfee are, in fact, two entirely different people, at least one of them is dead!"

@rgsteele @jwz

"...at least one of them is dead already!"

@jwz RIGHT?!?!??!?!? am so glad am not the only one with this feeling about them. they have the same batshit evil energy it makes them seem the same. and then there’s the leathery skin *shudders*
@jwz Current events are the worst.
@jwz Sadly neither of both are Larry David.
@jwz it wouldn’t be surprised if McAfee murdered someone so he could fake his own death and take over their life
@jwz rest in peace, antivirus man. you would have prevented covid
@jwz @brooke holy shit, I didn’t know McAfee died
