I'm not sure I'd agree that a "bay area peptide party" has any real, useful social benefit. Sounds like hell.

Just because you wouldn’t like it doesn’t mean no social benefit. Going to mar a lago and watching the president put ketchup on a well done steak doesn’t sound fun for me, but could be very socially beneficial for a lot of people.

I mean both things sound like hell, has the USA ran out of ideas?

Yes, those are the only two things that happen here

And the Super Bowl

And the $15 acai bowl
