Drive-by e-scooter shootings have been a thing here in Sweden, which I firmly place in the same cyberpunk bucket.
what a moment to live

Shootings can’t happen in Europe
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They frown on that sort of thing
GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Nah, they happen. Just at way, way lower rates than in the U.S.

Look, if Elon got run over by a Tesla, everyone would be laughing it off right now. If putin got smashed between a large truck and another large truck or by some other means like a large steel plate, everyone would be more than ecstatic. I would do a little dance myself. So I think we should just not try to figure out who did this too hard. It just happens sometimes. Right?
Cuz nobody figures out who denied your claim when your dad had to die right? Where’s the justice there? This is it! This is the justice. Don’t want it? Well then implement a better way to get justice. As, is, this is great.

Hey gun crime is just a reality we have to live with, according to the Republicans in Congress. So I don’t see any reason to make a big fuss just because this rich bastard accidentally feel into some bullets, instead of the usual bunch of innocent children or random black person the cops decided to shoot while face down and in handcuffs. No, I’m sure the police have much more serious police matters to attend to, like civil forfeiture on somebody carrying a large amount of cash or selling appropriated weapons to drug cartels.

If somehow Trump died because of a stupid mistake on his part I’d take the rest of the week off and dance like it’s THON

I think he should have demonstrated the use of that metal tube he wanted to use as a rescue sub to rescue those kids in the thai cave. Best way to demonstrate its safe is to go into it yourself.
Or he could use a pseudonym and work remote from one of the companies he owns and see how long he lasts as a worker. He thinks he can judge other peoples code? lets see his medicore bitchass show up and show us all how its done.
That guy sucks.
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Maybe he could go get the remains of the Titan. Who knows what we could learn from that.

This is part of the hell that we live in.
If you have a complaint about any corporation, you can’t do anything about it. They all run phone trees designed to waste your time and make it impossible to reach anyone who can actually do anything. They pay call center workers in India nothing to take the frustration which should be directed at the C-suites.
We live in a world with zero accountability for anyone with a sizable bank account.

Seems risky for the perpetrator, won’t they be able to trace who rented the bike?
Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
They took the ebike into central park and got away on foot from there. I doubt they’re the one that rented the bike or if they did, they did it with fake info and a prepaid card. Once they got to central park they probably swapped into a new set of clothes out of that backpack and disapeared.
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not just new clothes, probably a reversible backpack so when leaving the park the backpack wasn’t even the same color.
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Word is it wasn’t a rental bike after all which is probably smarter.
jewbacca117@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They would have to go through the ebike company, and that could take some time
ysjet@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Apparently some corporate dick sucker scrapes the public feeds for the bikes and volunteered the information for the likely bike pretty much immediately.
Tinidril@midwest.social 5 months ago
They can trace the credit card. Whether or not that leads to the actual shooter is a different matter.

American hero, Agent 47/John Wick/etc, shot the CEO of United Healthcare and killed him at 7am in front of the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.
He had “Deny, Defend, Depose” carved into the shell casings of the spent cartridges he used to kill the parasite.
He then rode away on an E-Bike and hasn’t been seen since. Image

In its very perverted logic, this assassination is good for capitalism. Every CEO can ask for a raise now.
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
One of the strengths of capitalism is that it can profit both off stability and off turmoil. It literally cannot lose
rickdg@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That’s why I feel progress should be made by leveraging capitalism instead of nuking it.

Let’s increase each one’s pay by exactly three aerodynamic chunks of lead, to be deposited directly into their brainpans at supersonic speeds.
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Subsonic, still very fast. The assassin used subsonic ammo because it isn’t nearly as loud. This is important.
droporain@lemmynsfw.com 5 months ago
Lol “How will you attract talent?” thats always been the argument why do think their pay has increased so much while labor wage has stagnated.
AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yep, they should form a union and demand hazard pay on their CBAs.

Copayback. I’ve never smiled as much as I have today. Random Shooter can have anything he wants or needs from me, an alibi, a bike rental, a kidney.

There was that meme about things we are bringing back in the 2020s from the 1920s, that included anarcho-syndicalism.
I guess that was a miscalculation, we are actually bringing back even earlier forms of anarchism. 💣

Hey dental insurance CEO, are you thinking twice this morning about signing off on that press release where you’re going to start denying all of Grandma’s dental claims if you you’re software finds any evidence of her smiling on social media… Smiling being user-initiated routine wear and tear on teeth that shareholders demand no longer be covered by default.
Think twice this morning, my Lord…

My very large sample of Facebook posts from people who had their claims denied by United Healthcare I made today.
todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Man, this is an incredibly low bar for “cyberpunk”.
The electric bike has been around 128 years, and being electric isn’t even important. Guns have been around roughly a thousand years. This could have happened literally anytime in American history. The most high-tech part of this story is that it was caught on CCTV.
Wake me when someone gets poisoned by fentanyl delivered by a drone something actually cyberpunk. Like, the gun should be 3D printed, and the getaway vehicle needs to be an eVTOL for this story to be considered cyberpunk.
