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
THON

Nah, Thick Hippies of Norway.
Thick Hippies of Norway.

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.
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.
Come now. Everyone knows pootin doesn’t like heights or falling out windows
Oh that’s right! He loves the planet. I wish to offer him a planet hug from 7 stories away.
People got so hung up on cool cyberware and Johnny Silverhand that they completely forgot Cyberpunk was a warning.
who wouldn’t want to have e-narrator Keanu in their mind sarcastically commenting their every move ? I’ve already preordered
Look Mom, I’m on the top of Arasaka tower.
Did they put that in the game? If they did that is almost certainly a tip of the hat to Rico Rodriguez, from the Just Cause series
I think it’s from Edgerunners.
Ok, well then Edgerunners seems to be giving Rico a nod. That show came out decades after Just Cause, where if you manage to get to the highest point on any of the four maps, Rico says “Look Ma! Top of The World!” in JC1 and all subsequent games the line was, “Look Ma! Top of The World! … … again.”
Oh, they’re both quoting James Cagney in White Heat from 1949.
Fair enough. I am not sure how many James Cagney films I’ve seen, but I would wager that I could count them on one hand.
I’m out of the loop. Please, explain.
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.
As an aside, another proposed moniker for this hero is “Lancelot”, as he has clearly slain a dragon. Three cheers for the Dragonslayer!
Don’t insult dragons by comparing them to a fuckin health insurance exec!
I’m speaking, of course, of greedy, wealth hoarding dragons like Smaug. Who would slaughter an entire mountain of Dwarves to get his claws on wealth he will never spend, just to have it.
His name is Spartacus.
I am Spartacus.
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.
Tying a gift card to a balloon and writing a note to go with it “God bless the CEO slayer”
That video is just so wonderful. He executes him so smoothly, hardly moving, and leaves with a smile. I love it.
born too early to fight in the post-apocalypse wasteland, born too late to fight in the pre-apocalypse waste land, born just in time to fight billionaires in the peri-apocalyptic wasteland.
Of the 3 scenarios, this is the only one that lets me focus my rage on people who deserve it.
Perhaps the 9mm pistol is the guillotine of the next American revolution.
You’ve said this on so many posts I’m struggling to keep track of which ones I’ve seen before. It’s not a criticism, just saying you’re messing with my melon maaaan.
Wow, you weren’t kidding. I wish I had that much confidence in my comments
Sorry. I hope your melon has recovered.
absolutely
but wait, it gets even more cyberpunk: the security cam footage is on streamable! :o https://streamable.com/2e8p4v

Already down, shame.
It’s also on Wikipedia and Know Your Meme
It’s down now. :(
God can we please get 4k security cameras before the first corpo war
No. It’s better this way.
Some people are still trying to buy 2mpx if it saves them money.
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. 💣
Is “Propaganda of the Deed” gonna be the hottest new trend on Tik Tok in 2025? Wait and find out!
Now let’s add a bit of Ghost in the Shell where the shooter is invisible because no one has organic eyes anymore… And he has an electronic scrambling technology
You forgot the funniest part from the movie: when the man was hacked into believing he had a wonderful life with a wife and daughter, when he was really just living in a tiny shitty apartment. Completely broke his mind lmao
😂
This felt more Snow Crash to me. The recent history of manipulation going on in social media is definitely Stand Alone Complex territory though.
I bet it was that guy who got denied an upgraded robotic leg battery.
He hacked my eyes!!
wasn’t that also somehow a plotline on altered carbon?
Hmm yes with the Yakuza leader being killed I believe?
Much cheaper than giving a CEO a golden parachute
For CEOs,
plata oplomo
…so far.
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…
In its very perverted logic, this assassination is good for capitalism. Every CEO can ask for a raise now.
One of the strengths of capitalism is that it can profit both off stability and off turmoil. It literally cannot lose
That’s why I feel progress should be made by leveraging capitalism instead of nuking it.
It’s already been tried with social democracies. They cannot last because capitalism is inherently rapacious by nature and tends to maximize the extraction of surplus value in the long run.
Seems to be working well in the Nordics. Or does that not fit the definition?
You have to ask “At whose expense?”
Ok, I’ll play.
At whose expense?
Sorry, just saw this. The answer is at the expense of the global south. Those social democracies still have companies that profit off of the labor and resources of the global south.
You mean the same countries that have been having issues with managing the growing number of immigrants and the strain they put on the welfare system?
Oh yeah migration is going to become world war insanity. You think unfettered capitalism deals with migrants better? They’re already ceding land to the federal government in Texas for
concentration campsdeportation centers.You aren’t talking to a stan for capitalism.
Wait… are you talking about the Nordics ore just Sweden?
Mostly Quarto Oggiaro, sometimes Bovisa in the weekend.
Capitalism tries to nuke itself that’s why it’s often heavily regulated. It’s only positive is that it allows for rapid production. Which is also it’s greatest drawback.
What if it’s impossible to leverage it without falling into a cyberpunk dystopia?
I absolutely agree
Oh boy I have a lemmy instance for you then
No, you don’t. You love creating strange monsters and then quelling them to make your arts seem something, as Jonson brilliantly put it. I prefer thinking that things can be changed by the people who need change the most instead of hoping for utter sociopaths to discover an empathy they’ve never shown proof of.
Why do you think this means I don’t have a lemmy instance for them? Also you sound like a bot
Let’s increase each one’s pay by exactly three aerodynamic chunks of lead, to be deposited directly into their brainpans at supersonic speeds.
Subsonic, still very fast. The assassin used subsonic ammo because it isn’t nearly as loud. This is important.
He also was using a suppressor without a Nielsen device as they had to rack the slide after every shot. Telling me it wasn’t a professional hit.
Can you explain what this is, so that I don’t have to google it and end up on a list?
It uses gas pressure to allow the slide to reciprocate and load another bullet into the chamber. Most pistols with an attached suppressor need this because of how blow back tilting barrels work.
Much more importantly you should just get tor browser and use duckduckgo. This way you can search and you’re not expressing interest on a federated board that can cache what you say indefinitely.
Yep, they should form a union and demand hazard pay on their CBAs.
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.
My very large sample of Facebook posts from people who had their claims denied by United Healthcare I made today.
Wake the fuck up, samurai. We’ve got a CEO to ventilate.
“to ventilate/was ventilated” is what im gonna use from now on thank you its genious
Glad I could teach you an interesting phrase :D
It’s actually quite old. It’s been used in this context of ‘shooting someone’ since at least the 1870’s.
Was he catching the casings? Like I’m confused why he kept cocking it or reaching on the top?
The silencer and possibly the subsonic ammo caused it to jam so he had to keep racking it to fire. He left three casings from the shots and three live rounds on the ground from the jamming.
and this, kids, is why you don’t want to own a Taurus for self defense.
The CEO probably thought…you can’t do th…do you know who I am…? Right before he hit the pavement. Asshole. I hope this feeling is not illegal.
The suppressor was 100% a wish or temu “flashlight” kit, not legal. Legal ones are usually sold with a neilson device for use with tilting barrel pistols (like glocks), since his didn’t have one the combo was too heavy to cycle the slide. He also had trouble going back into battery a few times leading me to believe it was a poorly milled “ghost gun.”
