I’m not saying that Bird was named luigi. But it could have been.

I am a pacifist, and I recognize the danger of encouraging/pardoning vigilantism. There are people I feel are heroes, who others view as villains. People should argue, debate, and put pressure as much as possible with non violence… but that is clearly not working for the ultra wealthy who are so insulated from 99.9% of what we can do.

The murdered man was, even by US capitalist standards, excessively evil. In a functioning and just system he would have had life in prison with no chance of parole for 1000+ counts of at the very least man slaughter for the millions of people whose health care was delayed or prevented. The world is a slightly better place without that level of extreme greed and heartlessness in it.

I also feel like the main point of prison “SHOULD” be Prevention and Rehabilitation. Which if the Attacker was personally harmed by a CEO and lashed out, I don’t think prison can accomplish either for him. I guess the US gov probably disagrees and thinks he should be rehabilitated as someone who is okay with being exploited by CEOs.

But I do want all evidence laid out, I want a jury to determine if he’s unhinged and a danger to others, or someone who was hurt on a fundamental level and lashed out. We of course assume it’s the second one, but we don’t know yet.

Juries and judges will sometimes use the kid gloves when dealing with people who kill their abusers, and I think a light sentence with the message of “murder is wrong… but so is allowing thousands to die to increase profits. So maybe don’t be so evil people wouldn’t mind giving up 10 years of their lives to see you removed from this world” would be fine.

… but also if this becomes another one of a million unsolved cases, I won’t lose a wink of sleep about it.

Why do you hate capitalism and the free market 😭

I’m just doing what’s best for the share holders!

Gonna leave this here:

Hear me out.

I’m gonna work to make health care more expensive, so you have to buy my service: “Make health care affordable”

Then, here’s the best part.

To save money, even after you’ve purchased my service, I won’t do that 😀

… Why are you mad, it’s just good business😭 !

I mean, unless they are ferrying weapons across the great salt lake, I don’t think it applies to me XD

But if Californians wanna disrupt all trade on the west coast I wish them all the luck.

That is very reasonable take. I mean I don’t have kids so a rifle in a gun safe probably is harmless. If it never gets used, it’ll just be a funny story of that time Ericbomb got paranoid and bought a gun because of encouragement from some weirdos off fake Reddit.

Owning a gun scares me since it’s been decided that if a cop sees you touch a gun they can kill you and it’ll almost certainly be ruled fine. Maybe I’ll get something for home that stays here and just keep taking my pepper spray around.

2A so important right?

But, good points… I ahh, may or may not already be housing some friends that were kicked out of their houses for life style differences. Such as you know, not being Mormon.

But wonderful points!

You know what? That does help, thank you. This feeling you get when something goes terribly wrong that says “do something” can be good, but also very stressful because WTF are we supposed to do about an election like this?

I mean I hope they investigate, considering you know, the whole attempting to over throw the government thing. For all we know there already is evidence and they just are collecting. But yeah, not holding my breath for that one. I always knew we were bad at punishing criminal billionaires, but I would have never guessed “Rich man attempts to over throw government, is found guilty of various crimes and rape. Is handed government for his trouble.”

But sounds like we do have to wait and watch for at least the moment. I do hope maybe a few republican senators will want to slow things down, or at least want to pretend to be the sane ones.

“Oh, jokes just normally have a punchline and aren’t just stating something really backwards”

Ooh and how many women apparently wear the HIGHEST quality water proof make up at all times!

Realistic hacking scenes would be funny.

“Okay I’m in”

“Wait… how?”

“Oh I figured out the default passwords and naming conventions for new employees awhile ago.”

Funnily enough I got my college to change password policies because for a report for one of my classes I wrote about how stupid it was that all new users passwords were First intial + last initial + last four of social security number, with usernames being firstname + lastname + year. Since they had no max number of attempts on logins, and didn’t prompt you to change password on logging in, it took a few minutes to get into anyone’s account once you knew their name. (That school was very incompetent, and they are closed now)

OR

“Give me 20 minutes, I’m on hold with IT. They’ll reset the password and tell me it if I give them an employee ID, dob, and name. Which I see clearly on this guys facebook picture where he has his badge visibile.”

Or a hacking guy trying to brute force for days. Then the “no nonsense” guy goes out for 20 minutes, and comes back with it and refused to answer questions. Oh wait… that’s just XKCD.

Hehe that scene was the one that made me think of this post.

NCIS should just dive into self parody at this point.

Seeing a movie where they flip in a practice dummy and actually make me feel like they broke ribs to make it happen would be legit.

If the ribs aren’t bending, ain’t no way the heart is pumping!

Also having the CRP patient be absolutely trashed afterwards. If you’re getting CPR, it’s cause you dead, and they are trying to bring you back to life by beating life back into you. You were dead, then got probably the most painful beating of your life. The rest of the movie should be you recovering in a hospital.

I’m not even a chef but they’ll also turn in a full kitchen without regard sometimes.

If you’re turning, you keep that garbage pointed NOT where you are turning.

Ahh so when they have like inconsistent durability?

One scene the super hero slams through walls.

Next scene, they trip and get injured.

I wonder if movies is why people seem to scoff at my mom’s allergies. She is “deathly” allergic to Cilantro and Coriander, so more than once people told her stuff like “Don’t worry just eat around it” or “we’ll put it on the side”

MAM. Her throat is closing, we are sticking an epi pen, and heading to the hospital if any gets in her mouth. If you can’t accommodate her, let her know and we will leave. But it’s severe enough that if a lot of fresh cilantro is being used, she has to leave or she’ll start having symptoms. Basically if you can clearly smell cilantro, then enough is in the air that she’s going to start coughing and wheezing and normally takes 2-3 days of her feeling garbage. Same exact case for my sister who is deathly allergic to red onions.

I never understood why some people think so little of “My throat will close if I eat this thing”, but maybe it’s TV where they treat it like lactose intolerance, where it’s fine if you just take the meds with it?

IDK man, but it’s tilting.

They wanted to hack faster, so they both started typing at once!

The logic in that TV show would be parody if all they did was have a single character look super confused whenever one of their pseudoscientific plans work flawlessly and is held up in court.

I’m just the ultimate Lemmy Meme lord!

My most upvoted one is this one though:

But yeah it’s always cool when we get so much engagement and every comment is actually unique and not a report bot!

“Or any monster chase or fight. If a giant monster chases you it’s faster and instant-kills you. But not in movies.”

Monster: struggles to catch a running humans

Monster in next scene: catching up with a car pretty easily

Speed always kills me in things.
