I think it’s roundabout the time we’d all processed what Luigi did and the guillotine memes and comments took off enough to move the needle.

Absolutely! Look at this chimpanzee. Dude has heavy thoughts, and he’s ready to write them all down. He probably does slam poetry on the weekends.

Why ask for some pristine selfness to some people but not to other?
“Pristine selflessness?” This is a strawman, no one is asking any such thing. It also feels a little like a false dichotomy, as there are many stopping points between “selfish opportunist” and “pristine selflessness.”

But massive inmigration solves nothing. It just ask for a big sacrifice to me to improve other lives. And again working class can do only so many sacrifices before it start thinking about itself.
Works every time.

Not only do I agree, but also it has been my feeling that the Starbucks footage and visit was a performance of some kind, and the water and phone they found were a distraction. Dude seems to have otherwise thought this through pretty well.
I admit that’s nothing more than a hunch though, and I can’t really defend it against anyone who disagrees.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
2 or so years ago I’d have agreed with you.
But it’s become clear that the wealthy and powerful are beyond the reach of our justice system. coughdementedfeloninthewhitehousecough
So fuck 'em.
I understand why they will prosecute him if they catch him, but I wish for him to never get caught, and I feel really confident (given the other signs of planning) that the phone, water bottle, and very public appearance at Starbucks in recognizable clothing are nothing but a red herring.

I wasn’t sure where to put it. Wanted to put it in memes, but didn’t relish the inevitable “it’s not a meme” comments, so this seemed like the best fit.🙂
It’s NOT my OC and I encourage you to crosspost as you wish.

I think so too, but I disagree. No one is forced into a CEO lifestyle or profit-above-all mindset. I feel like that’s pretty much on him. Echoing a comment I saw elsewhere - my empathy is out of network for this guy.

I’d like to add that the more I think about it, this is the logical eventual outcome to for-profit healthcare. How long it takes to get to this point seems like it would vary with a few other factors, but I guess we’ve reached it now for this timeline.

Society failed them both.
I’d say society did pretty well by the CEO. It was unrelenting greed and placing profits over people that got him to his end. That’s on him.
- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure there are people who go to Mexico/Canada as often as Europeans seem to be popping into other countries, but most of us very rarely do.
But most of us do have to visit other states often, which works out to a similar radius as hopping countries in Europe in many cases, that’s why I made the comparison I did.
- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 2 weeks ago:
That’s pretty funny, but I’m years past accepting the “hurr durr ignorant american knows only one language” thing. Except as a response to someone harassing someone about their English capabilities, as seems to be the case in your example. 😁
The way I figure it, if the people two states away from me in every direction spoke a different language from me, and from each other, I’d probably be multilingual, too. (As would most of us)
- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 2 weeks ago:
I always hope that everyone speaks English and if they seem worried about how it sounds I remind them that their English is way better than my their language which usually breaks the ice.

Robot Drug Delivery Dog is so much better than Robot NYPD Mass-Surveillance dog that I almost can’t express how happy this story makes me.
apnews.com/…/robot-dog-nypd-61bd64c94360e30f110f6…
The city’s first robot police dog was leased in 2020 by Adams’ predecessor, former Mayor Bill de Blasio, but the city’s contract for the device was cut short after critics derided it as creepy and dystopian.
Adams said he won’t bow to anti-robot dog pressure.

IME you are pegging entirely the wrong group of people.
For at least 10 years the only people I’ve heard making a stink about being able to get raw milk are the same folks complaining about fluoride in drinking water.
That’s not so much the crystals and oils crowd as it is the fuck your feelings crowd.

This is an innate skill in the days of the internet for anytime you are looking for just the right moment in a video of any kind.
Tell those cops to pretend they are on pornhub looking for the best part of a specific video, they’ll figure it out. 🤔
