Murder by capitalism is legal in US

If Luigi had just run him over, he'd be free by now. It wouldn't have been as effective at sending a message though.

[-] BitUnWise@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

It's only legal to run over poor people, if you run over a rich person you'll get the book thrown at you

Fuck Brian Thompson. Hope he’s enjoying Hell.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

hell is easy. in hell you know you're still "alive" because of the suffering.

as an atheist I hope his final moments were filled with the same regret and despair he gave to hundreds of thousands, and then as the dark shroud of nothingness enveloped his consciousness I hope he realized that none of it was worth it. I hope he begged and pleaded to take it all back until he faded out of existence for eternity.

Wow. I…kind of like this version better. 😂

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

didnt he get shot in the back of head? sadly he probably died before even realized what was going on

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

as long as the hippocampus remains, memory and self awareness can continue to exist.

it's one of the last parts of your brain that shuts down when you die.

those bits are still going under anesthetic and while asleep and yet I don't actively experience time and thought and have no memory of anything during that period.

I think death is just death. Even if you're dying slowly you probably don't know it's happening when it does, just like I don't remember the 10 seconds before I fall asleep

[-] FundMECFS@piefed.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Remembering and knowing it happens is different. By definition you won’t remember dying because you’re dead. But experiencing/knowing it happens in the moment is a different question.

This has an actual term for it. Social murder.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 57 points 2 days ago

There's another word for it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_murder

But you'll be called a Tankie for using it

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago

The Germans have a word for everything I swear

Why would you be called a tankie? It’s a term used by basically all kinds of communists and socialists, from anarchists to eurocommunists (not tankies) to Maoists (tankies).

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world -5 points 2 days ago

Why would you be called a tankie?

Because I'm quoting Engels, one of the grandfathers of the Communist movement.

It’s a term used by basically all kinds of communists and socialists, from anarchists to eurocommunists (not tankies) to Maoists (tankies).

It always gets me when people attach Mao to the phrase "Tankie", when - at best - you're trying to describe Deng and getting your historical wires crossed. Of all the historical communist leaders, Mao was the least reliant on mobile armored artillery. Euro-Communists, on the other hand... Real, Actual, Literal Tankies.

People are so clueless as to the history of the term that they'll slap it on anyone. That's why I think some shitposter on a 3rd-tier social media site will get labeled as a 50s-era military officer. The term is pure invective. If it ever meant anything when it was coined, it's descended into pure reactionary gibberish in the modern day.

I keep telling myself she was ill. She likely did not have much time left, but UHC made my mother's life hell for her last few weeks. They denied or delayed care she needed while in the hospital. She complained about stomach pain, but tests and treatment were denied as unrelated to her care in the hospital. She died from an intestinal tear. She died in the hospital from something she directly told the staff about, that insurance would not let them even test for. As I said before, she might not have had much more time left, but United AI denied her care to the point that they no longer needed to cover her at all. Brian Thompson murdered my mother.

Luigi didn't kill him, Luigi was playing videogames with me.

Suicide is a part of illuminati. /S

Unfortunately the claim denials have only increased, meaning Luigi just added 1 to the pile with no tangible results.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

He definitely saved some lives for a bit after when they were scared to auto-deny everything, so he did a net positive.

You misspelled keen business acumen
