  • It's been known by employers for a while. I worked for an event catering gig for a summer or two and talking to the bosses they were well aware that the IRS was going from one gig in the state to another. For instance the year before my boss's profession got hit, all of the places that hired golf caddies were audited all at once.

  • That has forever been the fallacy.

    The poor won't die in the apocalypse leaving only the rich behind. The poor will die, and the rich will be faced with the harsh reality that they needed an army of poor working under them to sustain themselves, leading them to all die within the generation.

  • For him it's not the fact that he's fat, but the absolute tragedy of a personality that excuses themselves shoveling food into his gullet. Cause you just know that in his own head he thinks he could still kick anyone's ass.

    Most people aren't fat for that reason and being fat isn't a reason to make fun. But Steven Segal's pathology makes him being fat a little funny.

  • Unfortunately, the people doing it are the media It's a quintessential "man bites dog" story. Normally it's the insurance companies killing civilians. Everyone is going to cover it. The police had a manhunt because it would look ridiculous if they didn't solve such a high-profile case.

    It's kind of a symbiotic relationship, the media covers it, the police react harshly, the media covers it more.

  • You can't compare how anyone feels at all. Feelings are subjective, relative, and are only able to be compared by actions (including words). Even then they are famously difficult to communicate and compare. All I'm saying is that if you're going down that road you quickly hit the "technically we can't compare anything" wall.

    So you're either stuck floating in apathy, being able to react to anything with "meh, we can't really know anything." Or you have to infer feelings based on actions and words.

    Hell, I'm not even going to the mat for Luigi in particular, I just thought your response was silly. Actions alone can't compare how people feel, but unfortunately for us actions alone are all we have to compare.

  • As many people say, the horror of the Nazis wasn't just that they killed so many people, but that they industrialized it, turned it into an inhuman factory process like they were mass-producing shoes.

    In a similar way we have modern corporations that have brought neo liberal styles to the idea of murder. Instead of the industrial style of the Nazis, this style serves to alienate the murder from the murderer, putting a price tag on deaths and profiting from the lives they're destroying all veiled by the size of these companies and the corporate double-speak that places all the lives they have control over into their sterile profit-centered game they play.

  • Meh, that makes your point even more invalid than mine. Anyone could do anything for any reason and there's no real way to know anything for sure. Might as well sit in my room watching paint dry.

  • I mean. Say what you want but I think people are taking it too far with this stuff. It's not exactly a trend, one guy did it acting alone almost 2 weeks ago now and as far as I know there hasn't even been an attempt at a copycat let alone any sort of movement.
