Was Dave Chappelle just crazy the whole time?

Looking back he kinda did just seem mentally exhausted whenever he had public appearances. The reason I think this is cause I recently watched Moon's video about him and my big issue with that video is he constantly uses random celebrity mental breakdowns and them being recommend medications as some higher power controlling when really.... Why can't it be that they are just mentally ill? Being a public figure honestly does seem extremely mentally exhausting, I don't think I could handle that kinda pressure. I do agree that people want control over famous people but I really don't know if early Dave really applied to this, it seems like he is insisting a ton of self importance but really why can't it be that he just had a really big show and got offered the 50m because people saw profit from his show and brand? He says that he wasn't able to get big offers again after that big lets be realistic, why would another huge offer or big role come out of nowhere when he wasn't even that famous compared to tons of other comedians at the time? He talked so badly about the industry and people who offered him money claiming they were trying to control him but never actually goes into that much detail about specifics, the only details he gives is how his agents tried to get him checked in a hospital for mental health reasons and he claims they were lying about this so they could have control over him, but why can't it be that he was actually just suffering from mental issues and doing drugs? Why not sue your agents if they were actually plotting something like this? Even if it was true, wouldn't that more so be an issue with your agents, not the industry as a whole?Millions of people already suffer from mental health issues and do drugs why does he straight up have this attitude like no way that could be me. He goes into detail about that but he will never actually go into detail about what they wanted him to say or not say. He was just a comedian with 1 kinda popular show at the time? Why is it not possible that he was actually crazy and doing drugs and just lied because he wanted people to believe in his world views/narratives about elites?

Lets be realistic, what actually is more likely, that he was using drugs and the pressure of being famous and pressure from people around got to him, of course if you were an agent and one of your clients is turning down 50m you would push for them to accept the deal, especially if it actually is a great deal and there honestly isn't any hard evidence that it wasn't. Agents doing something shady to benefit themselves has clear motive; money. He never actually goes into detail about what he wouldn't be able to joke about, he always makes it so vague.

Or is the more likely outcome that the entire Hollywood industry came after him for turning down a contract and he is now seemingly is one of those elites that he talked so badly against who is accepting money to say what they want him to say?

I am not saying that hollywood and certain groups of people don't want control over people, clearly Saudi's want control over him and lots of other people. But people acting like he was always just way above all these other elites and him acting like he isn't apart of the system is my problem. Maybe everything he is saying is true and if he goes against them they will kill him, but from my perspective, that's just not likely.

Getting a refund for grenco elite vape 2.

I bought the grenco elite vape 2 because the person at alternaleaf said to and I am really upset.... This feels extremely mediocre, it takes forever to smoke, battery consistently dies, half the time the weed doesnt even vape, it consistently overheats. It feels like im spending more time trying to get high then actually be high. I've read about paint chipping and horrible price, I only bought it cause I am lazy and stupid and didn't do research. Would I be able to get a refund? Apperenrtly I can't with medical products but if the product doesn't even work half the time would they maybe take it back?

Why can't they just move on from Aang and the gang?

I don't really have an opinion on the quality of the new avatar movie at all, it looks fine I guess but my main issue is honestly how insecure the series feels with it's need to have Aang and the gang in basically anything Avatar related. Like I get it for a fighting game, fans usually like when products like that are pure fan service, that's awesome but Aang and pal's storylines are 100% complete and the Avatar universe has so much potential that could be explored. There are so many possible movies or shows that could be made from of the Avatar universe. Instead of a awkward live action remake why not just try to create a completely new story filmed in live action about a different avatar or maybe even a smaller scale personal movie about a say a random fire nation citizen who faces great oppression and corruption and needs to betry his nation to save his family? That's just a random idea but it has so much potential. We got one of the best animated action series of all time that's honestly a pretty perfect length. We have so many adventures of them as it is. I hate how they have this desire to want to constantly retell this story that doesn't even need a retelling. I'm not really that interested in adult Aang and the gang anymore. We've seen a fair bit of that already in Korra. Do we really need an entire new movie keeping it going and the series remade in live action? It feels like it only wants to be live action to appeal to people who aren't even fans and won't consume animated content. Which I get from a business perspective but from a creative it makes the universe not feels as amazing as it could truly be. I think the production and visuals of the live actions are really well done, so you could easily make great original storylines of the series.

Give us back the self repair ability permanently and make his major perk the old bomb jump perk.

It may sound weird making his major a minor but hear me out. Bastions tank grenade form perk is only good depending on what kinda tank they have or the map. Picking grenade can make you so much worse against any shield character and even zarya can can charge easier and is threaten much less by you. In fact the tank form is a straight up nerf to most tanks compared to his normal config. Having the jump height be a major would actually be so good for mobility with the bomb config reduction perk. You could fly around the map like crazy. Of course you will need to mega nerf the self repair perk. Maybe make it only gives 1 full heal with a full charge or even slightly under and maybe make it so you can only heal if you do damage or only heal if you haven't healed for like over 5 seconds. Making bastions not straight up invincible if he is attacking from a side or far distance, forcing him to be more passive if he is relying on self repair too much. Also maybe nerf the jump perk by making it still do damage.

Maybe this seems overpowered but I disagree. The bombs honestly aren't the best movement tech in the world, you take self damage from it and it can take about a second before you actually get lifted off and the only actually impressive part of the movement is the height you get. You actually move very fast forward compared to other movement tech like tracer or luico's movement abilities. Also sometimes flanking as bastion is the only option. Having a huge cooldown on your config means you can be punished so easily. Yeah you are a huge threat and you simply being in turret form creates space but the way you defeat a bastion is to constantly bait turret form, get away from him and now he is kinda helpless against flankers. You can still do good damage and might get a good grenade but a genji or vendetta will always have a big advantage over you and should be able to beat you. Giving you better mobility allows you to position yourself in those right spots to really do damage to people but there are still so many things you can do against a turret form bastion. He is the freest dps sleep in the game as a ana. Bap lap actually takes a decent amount of time to take out, zen can do so much damage to you instantly with his charged shots and discord with any other dps helping a zen will delete you. It seems too good but there are still so many counters to it and I think it would make bastion a real threat with some real major downsides still.
