You warned me, but I didn’t listen. Why didn’t I listen?!

Jesus fucking Christ, the nerve of these people
I bet many more didn’t even get reported as murders in the first place. There are probably a shit load of cases from back in the day with 1950s wives poisoning their husbands or some shit that just got chalked up to heart attacks.

Good point. When I go “how hard can it be?” and try to fix my car by myself - I inevitably end up eating humble pie and paying a mechanic.
When CEOs lay off half the company, they cash out their stock and get hired to run another company before they see any consequences.
In this case, it was referencing internal ugliness.
People like give shit to the US for not using the metric system (“you have 12 inches in a foot and 5,280 feet in a mile? how do you even remember that?”) but see no irony in using a random ass base for time (“it’s easy you just have 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day.”)
Yeah that’s Dunning-Kruger in a nutshell. Kind of scary that almost everyone in leadership positions sits atop the peak of “Mount Stupid” for most of the things they make decisions about.

35·10 days agoVigilante justice is a huge problem when the system fails. There’s a reason the drug trade is so violent - because people in the drug trade have no legal way of settling disputes through normal channels.
So when Trump and Co think they’re protecting their own by stonewalling investigations and preventing the justice system from working as intended, don’t be surprised when people resort to vigilante justice and violence.

That reminded me of a time our data warehouse broke when we had a person named Katherine apply for a job. In the Workday form entry she put a 😸 emoji.

politics @lemmy.world•Professor Reinstated After Being Fired For Charlie Kirk PostEnglish
661·12 days ago“APSU did not follow the required termination process in this matter, and I deeply regret and apologize for the impact this has had on Professor Michael and on our campus community,” the university president said. “I am committed to ensuring that due process and fairness are upheld in all future actions.”
Kind of a hollow apology from the school president. “Sorry we didn’t follow the require termination process.” No apologies for trying to repress free speech. No apologies for over reacting when the professor posted a quote and nothing else. No apologies for trying to curry favor with an authoritarian regime by falling in line like a good little boy. Seriously, fuck that guy.












Yeah I was hoping a crowd of people literally dogpiled and beat the shit out of these fuckwads. Dogpiled as in tweeted at them? Give me a break.
