"Killing evil people is only okay in theory, putting it into practice is a step too far"

This is hilarious because when my Dad was alive, a long pause like that usually meant he completely agreed but felt like a father shouldn't say that.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's how it reads to me too. Like "nice, but don't talk like that."

Luigi was just being sarcastic.

Obviously he should’ve put it on YouTube for his fans. And then he would get away with it

Ever hear of Crashing Out? It's a new trend where you record yourself doing a bunch of illegal shit for the hits, and then getting as much ad revenue as you can, invest the money before the account is banned, and collect the cash when you get out of jail.

Non-surprisingly it keeps ending in failure when the people are immediately arrested before making any real money off of this, getting perma-banned from all platforms, and the businesses involved sue you for more than you made.

I can't see this fad lasting, ngl. Especially with that Johnny Somali guy who went to Japan to do this, got kicked out of the country and instead of quitting while he was ahead, went to South Korea where he's expected to never be seen again.

Edit: For some reason I thought he was called Johnny Salami, double checked it's actually Somali, now that's quite the goof on my part.

It happens every day though. Platforms care about money. I can see it getting worse.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly, they care about money. Illegal shit on their platform makes them criminally liable and open to lawsuits.

[-] mercphilby@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t disagree. They want to make billions, they can spend some of that policing their content.

But… we don’t have crimes for corporations like we should.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Like many have said before. I'll believe corporations are people when the state of Texas executes one.

Luigi didn't do it. He was with me in Mexico.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 68 points 1 year ago

Who's joking?

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No joke, the allleged shooter Luigi was right. Except it wasn’t him, he was playing poker with me in Arizona on that day.

Luigi was just saying the quiet part out loud.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

not that loud; the sound was allegedly muffled by a silencer.

[-] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Loud enough to be heard, but quiet enough for the bougie mouthpieces of the MSM to miss the message apparently

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

i think the panic they're showing is precisely because they did get the message.

[-] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

They eventually got it but at first all the propaganda outlets were parroting “what possibly could have motivated such a cold blooded act?!?”in unison with Surprised pikachu face energy

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think any of that was genuine to be honest

[-] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I think people who spend more on weekend vacations than you or i could earn in a dozen consecutive lifetimes are so vapid and unable to read a room without their army of advisors to tell them which way the wind blows that it is very likely they did not adequately assess the situation until the second news cycle

[-] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Your dad is a billionaire?
