    Weird fucking story tbh. Apparently the shooter got CTE from playing football in college and decided to shoot up the NFL offices. Got off on the wrong floor and blasted some of the worst capitalists in America instead.

      I’m not convinced by anything two pigs say about the events. They have an interest in depoliticizing and obscuring the motivations for violence against the ruling class. Maybe a happy accident, but maybe not an accident at all. In either case the world is better off with fewer of these leaches.

        Ironically, US mass shooters switching their targets away from schools and walmarts and towards office buildings and institutions will absolutely cause congress to start pushing heavy gun control laws.

      I think it may depend upon how the public reacts to this shooting.

      Honestly, if they react the way they did with UnitedHealth, despite the condemnation from the media, then I would completely expect to see more capitalists getting capped. Shooters are usually deprived of social relations, etc. and would be desperate to be seen as heroes by the public, which would be just a pure :waow:.

        From what I heard so far I think this one was chance not targeted at this person. I’d hold off until we get more info on the motive

        But either way sounds like one less shithead

          Yeah, that’s what people mentioned here too. So, sounds like the motive was unrelated/missing but the outcome was acceptable.

          Maybe the motive will throw people off, since United had a vengeance element. In which case, I think we could tentatively say USians approve of revenge killings of CEOs.

      The american monomyth is strong and self-sacrifice is usually inherent in it. So I guess the shooter will be received positively.

            Whales aren’t fish though. But tbh the exact same reasoning applies- parasites. I might be wrong but my understanding is essentially nothing in the ocean escapes them. You’re constantly swimming through a larval soup. And almost all of them are horrifying, like that isopod that eats and then effectively replaces tongues. Or how Greenland sharks all have copepods chewing through their eyes that make them blind.

              In the most technical way possible, due to all mammals being descendants of boney fish, whales are fish. It’s that whole bell curve graph thing.

                Okay you’re right and I knew you’re right in that specific manner but I’m leaning with that sort of Reddit user Unidan rant about crows and shit, like, nobody is going out there saying fish and including mammals with the very specific exception of people who know their evolutionary relationships and even then it’s only really brought up in instances like this

                I mean like nobody’s out there eating beef during Lent or whatever and saying hey i mean, technically… yknow, cow’s a fish

                  Given how bastardized fasting during Lent has become, that isn’t giving any credence to your argument. Technically you aren’t supposed to eat any meat except for designated feast days, where you are allowed to eat fish.

                  I don’t know why you would assume the traditions of a religion that, in all honesty shouldn’t respect the idea of an evolutionary taxonomy, would respect changed understandings of evolutionary taxonomy. I’m just waxing poetic this point though, you are correct in the broadest sense.

                  I mean, I personally think about this shit all the time, but that’s just me.

              Here’s a not so fun fact- life on land is filled with parasites too! And every organism that breathes air is teeming with them, including you and me! Most of us who live under modern conveniences are mostly free of the really big scary ones, but even the healthiest of us still host millions, if not billions of unwanted travelers on our bodies.

                I can live with microscopic parasites or, at most, you know those mites and shit that live in your eyelashes. Im not going to be like, oh, cool, some crustacean can just swim into my eye and eat it and i just have to deal, that’s cool.

                Let’s not keep talking about it though because honestly the prevalence of fucked up parasites almost makes me want to PTC a dose of ivermectin as a prophylactic. It’s hard not to think “what if one of those times I was barefoot in the mud I got infested with some fucked up worm.”

                i really need to go to the doctor just to check shit up because I’m probably in decent health but i’m at this point of, yeah I have insurance now, but i’m almost broke and what if the checkup ends up costing a shitload of money I don’t have when I have many other pressing needs

            They were very closely related, but technically separate. BlackRock was initially founded as “Blackstone Financial Management”, a company that “The Blackstone Group” had a 50% stake in. They changed their name to BlackRock after Stephen A. Schwarzman, Blackstone’s CEO, sold his stake in the then-smaller company.

    We all need a little bit of adventure in our lives, not everything has to be for the revolution

    Buy that last minute ticket to Ibiza, drop a tab of acid before the job interview, shoot up a real estate office, order your coffee black

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
