Ah yes, corpo platform suckling at the toes of insurance giants. Big surprise.
“But they are right! Murder is bad.”
Fucking duh, but the transgressions of the US insurance industry transcends all that, because they are laughing at dying people all the time - laughing all the way to the bank!
Like there are so many documentaries about the evils of these bastards. One dead exec later and suddenly morals and ethics apply? Gtfo here.
The french revolution was bloody. Today the whole world celebrates July 14th, the day a cheering crowd walked the head of the governor of Bastille on a pike.
Go figure.
Something I’ve been thinking about recently is how it seems that MOST national anthems celebrate a bloody war in some way, shape, or form, because that’s pretty much what it always takes to escape from oppressors, is violent fighting back
As an American this holiday is news to me 😞
There isn’t always a disco option in life. Sometimes conflict is inherent and pacifism is just quiet complicity.
Oh, I almost forgot… For legal purposes I’m discussing Minecraft.
I hope that all these greedy gold-spewing swines get to die miserably one day
Maybe I’m being extreme, but that’s my take on nether piglins.
The minecraft defense didn’t hold up last I checked
When somebody dies from an insurance company, it’s sad, but it’s the system working at usual. US society at large has decided that’s acceptable. Even if you’re opposed to it, it isn’t a transgression of norms. Assassination is.
Capitalism: the murder is built in!

I’m so glad spez fucked up reddit so much that people left and we have a more free platform instead of that shitshow.
Being able to discuss (& cuss, bizarrely Lemmy isn’t filled with “fuck” & “penis” posts) as adults is quite nice and seems to actually lead somewhere, sometimes.
Maybe the anger and frustration is part of some business model for reddit?
Penis
Lemmy is full of fucks and dicks. Sometimes they even have something to say!
But really, I believe any expletives should be used to further a message, not just because you can. Or filler words while talking.
Cum
Anger certainly is a powerful emotion to keep people engaged.
Fuck reddit
Yup. They permabanned me for saying I didn’t care when Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, since she’s called for bombing millions of people.
So it’s not just calling for violence that’s bannable. Now apathy for violence against the rich is a bannable offense. Smells like panic to me.
I was perma banned for highlighting Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher should be denied the chance to move to Europe to escape Trump. Given they have deep links to PDiddy. A nothing comment, jumped on by emotionally unstable mods. It’s the same on most of the subreddits. If you don’t agree with their perspective, you lose.
Snowden was more politically acceptable to pardon than Luigi, so if Snowden didn’t even get a pardon for a non-violent crime, Luigi aint ever getting a pardon.
But fear not, we have something better: JURY NULLIFICATION 🇺🇸🦅
NYC do you duty: FREE LUIGI!
Snowden was more politically acceptable to pardon than Luigi
Ohh, I don’t know about that… Stealing top secret data, fleeing the country, bleeding it off to Russia directly in a time when we weren’t buddies. Throwing tons of it to the press as in case I get killed…
From the Government’s standpoint, a healthcare CEO’s job is a high-risk profession and the fact that the worst one’s don’t get offed is the amazing part.
Don’t get me wrong, neither one are getting pardoned. But I’m pretty sure they wanted Snowden dead.
The president can only pardon someone for federal crimes. Isn’t murdering someone also a state crime?
Then he can’t be pardoned
Crossing state lines can make it federal
Dual Sovereignty. Both the federal and state governments can separately try the case. Yes they have two chances of convicting him, acquital from state charges doesn’t affect any potential federal charges, double jeoparty rules don’t apply.
Luigi can get a pardon for either state or federal, but he can still face charges from the other one.
Can’t have LLMs learning about manifestos against the rich, eh?
Comrade AI
A red-pilled LLM is inevitable. It can only be postponed.
Reddit is no longer the people’s champion, and it’s now official.
They do have a public CEO now.
We’re brainwashed to believe in “free speech” so we don’t notice that it doesn’t exist.
I mean, free speech is a government thing. It’s got nothing to do with private companies. Anyone telling you otherwise is blowing smoke up your ass.
Would be great if those companies fucked off away from the government then.
Fuck reddit
Suppression of the suspect’s voice really is misinformation on the part of states and corporations, albeit for different reasons.
Relevant laws and policies are employed in order to deliberately withhold public information about motive. They don’t want people placing these incidents this within a broader context. There couldn’t possibly be a belief set behind the behaviour; the perp didn’t have any ideas about how the world works, or who and what caused their circumstances. Oh no.
Why did the shooter go out and shoot people is a completely legitimate question. More than that, it will never be an illegitimate question, no matter how much autistic screeching authorities do. Learning is never wrong, and that includes the publishing and reading of a criminal suspect’s thoughts.
Autistic screeching the authorities do
Really dude? Really? I bet far more autists with their strong sense of justice would be on the side of the shooter than the authorities. Especially since autism usually has other health issues that often present with it so they have more first hand experience dealing with the industry.
They’re playing dumb and engaging in censorship because they don’t want copycats.
I agrree they would. Don’t read it literally
no matter how much autistic screeching authorities do
Are you saying autistic people control the government and are the ones oppressing poor neurotypicals?
It’s an imageboard meme. Slang for over-the-top complaining.
Why are autistic people associated with over the top complaining? Should they be?
The original idea is the stereotype of autistic children who start screeching when something happens that they don’t want.
The underlying phenomenon is people failing to cope with discomfort induced by things others don’t perceive as uncomfortable. I’m not a psychologist, this is more an informal way to express my own experiences.
For example, a person (possibly, but not necessarily autistic) with sensory issues may find grocery store visits unbearable if the lighting of that store triggers that discomfort, or the hum of the AC, or the general noise of the place. Trying to ignore this discomfort may work for a while, trying to block the triggers may help, focusing on some reward or comfort may help the brain hold on to more pleasant thoughts, but if those fail, eventually the brain will reach a point of overload.
It’s particularly bad when some method of coping suddenly fails or the discomfort spikes suddenly. If I was trying to make it through a grocery trip by promising myself some comfort food, then reach the shelf where that food is supposed to be and find it empty, that cuts quite a gash into my mental barrier. Some noises, when unexpected and loud enough, can bring me all the way from “calm” to “overload” in an instant
The exact reaction can differ, with some options being less visible. I usually enter a type of dissociation where only the most routine things still work (like beelining for the checkout, paying and getting the fuck out of there, rest of the grocery list be damned), but since I still function to some degree, it might not look like an overload.
The most visible reaction is probably when the “dam” trying to contain the discomfort breaks so violently that it turns into acute pain, with the result looking much like you’d expect someone in acute pain to react: screaming.
Thus, the most noticeable expression of Autism in people you don’t know is probably when something seemingly minor sends them over that edge. You don’t see the buildup, you don’t see the other ways people deal with the discomfort, you might not even understand the discomfort itself, but you see a child suddenly breaking down and screeching.
There are other things too, like breaking from established patterns, but this is getting top long already. The mechanisms is similar, in any case: The break from the pattern produces discomfort, a sudden break producing sudden discomfort, which can lead to the same kind of overload.
This doesn’t seem like the sort of complex and nuanced mental process we should be assigning to a faceless corporation. It paints too sympathetic a picture.
I think drag takes this too literally.
Certain image boards turned that stereotype into a meme, where “autistic screeching”, aka “REEEEEEE” was used to signify excessive complaints. I’ll note that it’s a false equivalence that makes light of autistic people’s genuine pain, but I don’t think drag (or anyone else here) needs an elaborate lecture on that.
In any case, its idiomatic meaning has become detached from the literal one, so when the other user referred to the authorities’ “autistic screeching”, it most likely was intended to mean “excessive complaints” rather than the whole mental process of failing to cope with discomfort.
I definitely agree with drag that we shouldn’t equate corporate calculation with genuine human discomfort.
Thats why Lemmy is the shit! If lemmy starts acting up I’ll move again.
Lemmy is no single instance, you can just move to a different one.
.world already started unfortunately
A bit ironic, from a LW account
Is that ironic? That’s probably how they know that’s happening.
Indeed, but you would think that people would have switched instance since then.
Some people are busy living their lives.
I started on lemmy.world myself. Can’t even post a CNN news article on .world without ruffling a mods feathers these days.
I was just about to ask why the fuck anyone would give a shit about what happens over on reddit, then I noticed the sub. Let that shit hole die and crumble into obscurity already. We moved to our own place for a reason. Fuck ‘em feed ‘em fish heads.
I don’t see any mention of linking to the manifesto text.
Brian Johnson…?
that sub is a cesspool of humans
