my two cents? Boo Hoo
this also reminds me of the "There is no reason to hit a woman but....." bit.
It's why a lot of people see Travis Bickle as a hero. When people like Johnny Somali harass people, don't break any laws but when they get the shit beat out of them we all cheer that too.
Dude shot a prankster for shoving a phone in his face and the jury let him off
Benji, don't act like you don't know where this is coming from. You're too smart for this

And then I showed him the first dragon you come into contact with that literally looks like a dragon version of his powder blue fursona and he's like "oh never mind; this is dope".
What actually happened.
Kid - Oh Christ, what’s the faggot up to now
Middle aged man - Hey look at my pretty dress, and there’s matching heels! Squee!!!!
Kid - fuck my life.

Yeah he makes a lot which is why he deserves to die
awesome
A parent knowing that their kid is a furry and what their fursona is… that’s fucking weird. Should probably get CPS to check out that family if he’s willing to post that publicly online just imagine the other fucked up shit going on in that house.

Of course the media is going to cover this; their interests are also aligned with the capitalist class who seem to be a little frightened right now.

I can play the same game. How many correctional officers were killed randomly by inmates in the last 10 years? Probably more than healthcare CEOs.
I've seen zero people feel sorry or outraged by those officers deaths. I guess you guys just don't care about us and think it's cool that we die more than CEOs. Awesome.
Can we stop with the passive aggressive "Oh if you don't care about this guy and feel sorry you wanted it to happen."
Just like when correctional officers get killed in the line of duty, people shrug their shoulders and go....That's to be expected. CEOs pinch pennies so tight people die so somebody gets revenge and I'm supposed to be shocked and outraged. Again, were you shocked and outraged when officers died? If not, you're terrible people.

Quote:Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who is one of the most prominent and influential physician-researchers in pediatric gender medicine, has been hit with a damning lawsuit by a former patient. The plaintiff reports having suffered from severe, worsening mental illness while Dr. Olson-Kennedy oversaw her gender-transition treatment, including a double mastectomy at age 14. Now a college student, she recently detransitioned.
The lawsuit accuses Dr. Olson-Kennedy of prescribing the plaintiff, then a newly-gender-questioning 12 year old, puberty blockers following a single cursory appointment and no assessment with a mental health professional; of coercing the girl’s wary parents into consenting to testosterone therapy by insisting their child, who had no history of suicidality, would kill herself without such irreversible treatment; and of failing to provide the family with proper informed consent.

I think you have to factor in what his job actually was and what it represents to appreciate why feelings might be mixed; someone dropping the CEO of, say, Hasbro would have less widespread ambivalence

That's kind of what I'm trying to say. At first I thought Benji was arguing for the sake of arguing. I didn't think people actually didn't understand why nobody gives a shit that this guy got clipped.
For the record, he probably was a decent guy and didn't deserve to be killed. He might have had a lovely family and great kids and everything else. But I'd probably be more sad if it was some single mom that was randomly killed and it left her kids without a parent. Is that difficult to understand?

Big chance they wont even talk about it. They're very "out of sight, out of mind"

Always thought nepenthe was running cover for Embiid, curious who it’s been after all… one of the few users that is allowed to call out the retards consistently
The 8th biggest corporation in the world just gives people the CEO title because they're white. "It's the best sorting mechanism we have, goddamnit", sobs the board of directors. "WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE!"

Not saying they don't make too much, but the gap growing to this level is in large part due to their remuneration package including shares and options, and everyone and their dog starting to invest in the stock market in the 90s, and even moreso in the 2000s and the 2010s, leading to absurd share prices, especially for the "top 350 companies". The gap is probably way smaller for a non-public company.
You can see the gap shrink super fast every time the stock market has a big drop (tech bubble bursting; great recession; there would be another just after the graph finish because of Covid, and then a big upswing again).
Also it's the average, not the median. Would be interesting to see how it looks if you remove the few "trillion dollars companies".
Poor poor pitiful me

What’s the end game for Malds? What’s going to happen when he’s 50? Or 60? Who’s going to take care of him when his parents die. Seriously, grow up and get a job. Attempt to learn how to be an adult before it’s too late.

It blows my mind that they don't even have a physical disability. They just don't want to deal with their mental issues.
If Mommy and Daddy just up and die malds is seriously just going to end up homeless.

Inherit the house, unable to pay the taxes, city seizes it, he lives on the street e begging for more hood burgers and gundam.
No upward trajectory whatsoever, no skill development, no passion or drive for anything. Just a miserable loathsome creature.

Easily the most annoying active user on resetera; will not be missed at all.
Black Chamber was perma banned for making a joke about Trump on his Twitter offsite that somehow got twisted into him being a secret Trumper chud. You got Fat4all here openly shitting on B-Dumbs and he does nothing. Just total emasculation.
