There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and internet moderators being power tripping cucks.

Had something similar to this happen to me when I was about 9.

In primary school I was invited to a birthday party. We played truth or dare. A Portuguese girl in my class was dared to kiss me. She actually started crying because she really didn’t want to go near me.

Not even the worst rejection I had.

I’m inclined to agree and disagree.

Agree in the respect of home security and any kind of corporate mandated security. If you are rich and/or live in a rich neighbourhood, you’ll need all the protection you can get to deter burglars. Also, corporations in particularly egregious industries like health insurance probably deal with threats on a regular basis.

Disagree because I think a big part of why corporate execs aren’t usually targeted is that they keep a relatively low profile outside of their jobs and aren’t typically public facing unlike more household names like Taylor Swift, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicolas Cage, Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Joe Biden, etc. There are probably a lot of senior managers, big corporate execs and millionaires hiding in plain sight.

I’m sure a lot of people from Florida know who their governor is (Ron DeSantis) but not who the CEO of Carnival Corp & plc is (Micky Arison.) Only people who are really invested in that industry in some way would know, which is why figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are rare exceptions.

Even the level of security that current and former Presidents of the United States get are not infallible. Donald Trump was almost assassinated twice in this year’s campaign alone.

This is one defeat that I think we can no longer blame on Russian interference.

Kamala Harris was such a disliked candidate that she lost the popular vote to a convicted felon that previously tried to spark a right wing insurrection against Congress. A convicted felon whose previous tenure led to the Supreme Court bringing back state level abortion bans, and who was running on the manifesto of turning America into a right wing Christian theocracy staffed by Trump loyalists. Not even Hillary Clinton did this terribly.

Biden should never have ran for a second term, given that he was already showing signs of forgetfulness four years ago, and when he was eventually pushed to resign, the Democrats should have held a snap primary instead of immediately backing Harris.

I have very little sympathy for a CEO who has been responsible for tens of thousands of deaths due to denied health insurance claims.

At the same time, I’m alarmed that we’ve reached this point. Somehow I think Thompson’s assassination is going to be the start of a trend where high profile corporate executives are targeted by disgruntled stakeholders.

The perpetrator made a lot of errors that are probably going to lead to his arrest within the coming hours, that’s if he’s not already fled the country to Indonesia, Moldova, UAE, Laos or any other country that has no extradition treaty with the US.

Prigozhin?

Starfield is another good example.

Some of you may have seen HeelVsBabyface’s infamous “pronouns” rant video and taken it a bit out of context. Many said he was upset at the sight of a pronouns selection option on the character creation menu. His rant actually came a few hours into playing after a series of quests with incredibly contrived dialogue.

Blow is short for blowjob.

So rather than blow the house down, the wolf instead goes to town on the chimney.

You identify as a cis heterosexual he/him and AMAB?

Good for you, you know that was always an option regardless of the LGBTQ movement?

At this rate America’s 4B movement is gonna stand for “bang bang bang bang”…

Klitschko v Rogan is a celebrity fight I’d actually like to see.

Why the fuck are they using a 3D voxel banana as a hat for Snoo?

And why does Snoo look AI generated?

Sounds like 2012 era Reddit is back on the menu.

I refuse to believe that people would be stupid enough to expect somebody who banned people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from even entering the USA in his first term to be pro-Gaza…

Nah, I actually think minorities voted more for Trump because the right have more socially conservative policies.

This is probably the best 100 second explanation of Java to exist.

Now is the time for Europe to rally behind Ukraine. We really should have upped military funding and arms production in preparation for this outcome.

Either it’s women using filters to touch up their images, or it’s AI slop being pushed to artificially inflate app userbases and make it look like there are actually women on the platform…

Bernie Sanders reflected on it stating that it was the Democrats failing the working class that won Trump the election, and people in the Democratic Party denounced him for it.

Yes to all the above, and probably a mix of bots and terminally online people getting involved. Not sure what year everyone started becoming unhinged but I think it was at least mid-2010’s.

People are now being perma banned from r/pics of all places for merely posting on the Asmongold subreddit. Yes, it’s become something of an anti-woke echo chamber in recent months, but it’s the main subreddit of Twitch’s most popular streamer.

And now we wondered why 74.7 million Americans voted for Donald Trump last week. Because maybe telling your voters that they’re Nazi scum if they don’t agree with you isn’t a winning strategy, like the world view that most Reddit moderators have.
