  • Who is worse? Is a mass murderer deserving to have their life as they know it impacted negatively? Would you be satisfied by another case trying to hold a powerful person accountable so that they can be given a slap on the wrist? That’s the alternative for Brian, except not even, because social murder is legal. You can’t let a system deal with the outcomes if the system makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Change the system, but don’t be surprised when people get creative about the ways to change it if they have no power to enact that change at all.


  • You’re just drawing lines between social murder and murder, but I disagree that they’re meaningfully different except of course that one is legal and one isn’t. I don’t promote murder, but I do find that if you are consistent that all forms of murder are wrong then this is no different than a sniper on the roof of a stadium taking shots all day long with a pile of ammo behind him getting counter-sniped. Will another sniper take his place? Obviously. That’s why systemic change is the real goal here, but let’s not pretend the sniper going down is some great loss or that we should feel guilty for praising an effective counter-sniper who has offered no evidence that he’d ever aim lower.



  • I don’t think it’s hypocritical to want someone committing a 9/11 scale murder yearly while a legal system nods in approval to stop murdering, but from a low power perspective there’s not much to be done about that. The system has been changed from a justice seeking system into a class warfare tool by the elite. Change would be better, but in this system, change comes from above. If the powers within the system are scared, some of them will flee to the moral position to spare themselves the risk. Power that’s brokered through fear is still power, it’s peak liberal to say fear must remain untapped. They would and literally do kill people like us every day, empathy is precious in late stage capitalism, I’ll reserve mine for people who’s suffering isn’t karmic.


  • Democracy can’t tolerate a lot of things that are actively happening. Most of these things are legal, and frankly, with all of the suffering and murderous actions, concern trolling over the single time the shoe is on the other foot in class warfare is about as dumb as Trump supporters thinking that because Trump was indicted that they’re coming for them next. I felt safer with the murderer abroad. Everyone without gobs of money or perfect health should have.

    Before I answer your question, let me tell you a little bit about formatting and why that’s really what you should be more concerned about and how nobody will want to program beside you if you make an else if statement that could have been made into a switch and…

    Probably a joke, not based on any real trends, but because the ceo of United Healthcare was shot, presumably CEOs now see the value of working from home in their bunkers. Speaking as someone with a job though, most CEOs are on a permanent vacation as is.


  • I saw whistlin disel’s video on it, and it seemed to prevent people from getting to you despite being easy to damage the vehicle itself. I think it sucks too, but most cars don’t use double pane shatterproof windows on the side. It seems like every window is similar glass to a standard windshield so it won’t collapse.


  • Doomsday bunkers were an obsession back in the 2000s for billionaires. If you think about their ideas from that framework it puts some of their stupid inventions into perspective. The cybertruck is the vehicle Musk would want to be in during a riot against him if he isn’t on Mars at the time.




  • Try flipping the image, our faces and expressions aren’t perfectly symetrical. That being said, if you like it then flip it back before posting it. People are used to seeing you, not the flipped version you’re used to seeing… There’s some evidence that zoomers aren’t as bothered by this because a sizable chunk use their ph9nes as mirrors and take more photos for Snapchat and similar apps.
