Unfortunately 99% of the conversations are about why Linux is good and anybody who still uses Windows is an ape

It worked for Trump. One of his pledges was to pardon Ross Ulbricht.

It's gone viral on several meme pages I follow on Facebook...

Also if this employee doesn't get rewarded for the tip-off that led to Luigi's arrest, what kind of message is that going to send to the public about law enforcement? It's just going to reinforce the already-growing ACAB narrative and make people distrust the police even further....

Heck, the very real possibility of being publicly outed, shamed, harassed and threatened for being the one to rat on Luigi, and not getting the promised $60,000 reward could end up radicalising more people.

On one hand, Aaron Swartz must be spinning like a rotisserie chicken in his grave.

On the other hand, Reddit banned content glorifying violence years ago, and that's exactly what Luigi's manifesto is encouraging...

Something that would make every Chicagoan and their ancestors cry.

If I were Uncle Roger and I saw this abominable attempt at a deep dish pizza, I'd put my leg down from chair.

That $50,000 bounty is likely a bigger payout than two years of wages as a burger flipper...

There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and internet moderators being power tripping cucks.

Had something similar to this happen to me when I was about 9.

In primary school I was invited to a birthday party. We played truth or dare. A Portuguese girl in my class was dared to kiss me. She actually started crying because she really didn't want to go near me.

Not even the worst rejection I had.

I'm inclined to agree and disagree.

Agree in the respect of home security and any kind of corporate mandated security. If you are rich and/or live in a rich neighbourhood, you'll need all the protection you can get to deter burglars. Also, corporations in particularly egregious industries like health insurance probably deal with threats on a regular basis.

Disagree because I think a big part of why corporate execs aren't usually targeted is that they keep a relatively low profile outside of their jobs and aren't typically public facing unlike more household names like Taylor Swift, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicolas Cage, Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Joe Biden, etc. There are probably a lot of senior managers, big corporate execs and millionaires hiding in plain sight.

I'm sure a lot of people from Florida know who their governor is (Ron DeSantis) but not who the CEO of Carnival Corp & plc is (Micky Arison.) Only people who are really invested in that industry in some way would know, which is why figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are rare exceptions.

Even the level of security that current and former Presidents of the United States get are not infallible. Donald Trump was almost assassinated twice in this year's campaign alone.

This is one defeat that I think we can no longer blame on Russian interference.

Kamala Harris was such a disliked candidate that she lost the popular vote to a convicted felon that previously tried to spark a right wing insurrection against Congress. A convicted felon whose previous tenure led to the Supreme Court bringing back state level abortion bans, and who was running on the manifesto of turning America into a right wing Christian theocracy staffed by Trump loyalists. Not even Hillary Clinton did this terribly.

Biden should never have ran for a second term, given that he was already showing signs of forgetfulness four years ago, and when he was eventually pushed to resign, the Democrats should have held a snap primary instead of immediately backing Harris.

I have very little sympathy for a CEO who has been responsible for tens of thousands of deaths due to denied health insurance claims.

At the same time, I'm alarmed that we've reached this point. Somehow I think Thompson's assassination is going to be the start of a trend where high profile corporate executives are targeted by disgruntled stakeholders.

The perpetrator made a lot of errors that are probably going to lead to his arrest within the coming hours, that's if he's not already fled the country to Indonesia, Moldova, UAE, Laos or any other country that has no extradition treaty with the US.
