Im glad every time I im reminded when that CEO died. I'd like more of that warm feeling.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 80 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope that heartless, sociopathic pile of shit had time before he lost consciousness to feel as alone and confused and scared as he made so many hundreds of thousands of people feel to line his pockets with more money than he'd ever know what to do with.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 2 weeks ago

The ceo caused the prolonged distress of tens of thousands of people, that is far longer than a normal lifespan.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 129 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

he took

Oh really? Where's his conviction?

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 weeks ago

And I don’t even know this guy. No way I’d recognize any of these people from a jury box.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 104 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah fuck that CEO and everyone in charge that have a hand in those kind of decisions. Fucking board should of been shot as well.

Also Luigi is innocent and not the shooter.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 89 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

who did nothing to him

Except deny him medical care and put him into a massive medical debt.

[–] Azteh@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But he didn't do that personally, so it's not his fault /s

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Unironically, this argument is likely used by the same people who blame the president for gas prices.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Except the president has much less control over gas prices than an insurance CEO has control over their half of the deal.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes... Fascist Idiocracy be like it do.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, they will say all kinds of funny and/or dangerous shit when their definition of rational and logical argument is “the one that produces my answer.”

I find that those who cry most about wokeness are those most infected with the broke mind virus.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 55 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus". Empathy requires continual effort to maintain your commitment to the well-being of others, something that's more and more challenging these days.

But abandoning empathy? Giving yourself over to fear, greed, and hatred requires no effort or commitment, and the longer you maintain such a vile, poisonous state of mind, the more you become such in such a perspective.

But, as we know, projection projection projection 😝

[–] don@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 weeks ago

Their abandonment of empathy is perhaps the greatest reason why I revile them.

A mentality of fear, superiority, bravado, main character syndrome, otherism (a fear of altruism), superstition, religious indoctrination, paranoia, the lost cause…

even conservative immigrants are in the find out phase. Broken minds.

Be woke, or be broke. All my homies respect trans rights, and personal pronouns.

One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus".

At least some of them have gone full mask-off, and is outright calling empathy a sin and greed a virtue.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I was unaware that being an empathetic person required any effort.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

It requires far more effort than hatred to maintain a self capable of empathy. For many, they feel it is an insurmountable challenge to come to terms with the people they are and the actions they’ve committed.

I totally understand; I think many of us kinda choose to ignore/accept the cost of maintaining an empathetic perspective, simply because we are unwilling to accept the alternative.

But everyone walks their own path! In any case, I applaud your way of thinking.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Studies have shown that conservatives have smaller areas of the brain related to a sense of empathy on average compared to others. It could be said that they are outright physically less capable of feeling empathy compared to the rest of the population.

How dare you cheer on the alien from "Alien" dying at the end of the movie. She was a mother!

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 weeks ago

Just a single mother trying to feed her kids. smh

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 weeks ago

Ripley was an anchor baby.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you're talking about the Powerloader/Queen fight, that was the second one.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Aliens, that s is very important and it actually conveys a lot about what the movies are about.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly, they're about why the fuck did they write out Newt

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 44 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

All this whole CEO murder thing is is an effective application of Reagan's "Trickle Down" economics...

You make... cuts... at the top, and things get better for everyone else.

Are you telling me Reagan was too "woke" for today's conservatives!?

I was a child when I lost a parent to cancer. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that it occurred to me to wonder whether or not they’d have lived if we’d had health insurance. And this was decades ago. Of and years after that before I thought about what if we’d had universal healthcare.

Fuck all ceos. Also private equity.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The only good CEO is a Luigi’ed one.

Greenwashing corporate profits means little. B-corps fight hard against their employees unionizing, it's just branding.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A dad, like I'm supposed to care that this guy nutted in some skank.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

I'd be a dad..

If I got paid fair wages for my labor, had the means to care for a family and my partner was able to access modern reproductive care.

All things that health insurance companies deny people as a business model.

[–] msprout@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Didn't Jack Posobiec get caught cheating on his wife? And he's trying to lecture me on family values?

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

He was doing her a favor so obviously yes jk

Thompson’s net worth was estimated at approximately $42.9 million as of February 16, 2024, according to Wallmine.

Oh no millionaire left his fortune for kids that won't see him again and can do anything they want. Looks like Richie Rich movie start scene.

[–] TurtleMelon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The only thing sad about Thompson's death is how quick it was.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago

While I'm certain he would deserve the pain and suffering of a slow death while his coverage denied any life saving treatment.... I'm honestly not sad that it was quick.

Quick or slow, it's one less profiteering glutton in the world, and I can't be mad about that.

[–] FragrantGarden@lemmy.today 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Insurance also tried to kick me off and deny coverage because of a cancer diagnosis as a child. My poor mother. 👨‍🔧

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago

The fact that he allegedly took his life on behalf of others who had been screwed over by him despite having no personal grievance with him makes it more commendable.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Anti-Luigi posts only serve to illustrate the underlying fatal flaw with our culture in the US. It’s a flaw with humanity, sure, but we seem to specialize in it. To wit:

Violently hurting another person, or even stealing their stuff, is inexcusable. The only exceptions are life and death situations.

Destroying the lives of many people indirectly in pursuit of money, however, is just an unfortunate fact of life. Cause and effect is apparently irrelevant as long as the CEO isn’t literally throwing rocks at them as he pours their insulin down the drain.

Have y'all seen all the happy UHC ads everywhere? "My life is great because of UHC" again and again.

Remember, EW is a Polish Nazi.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Heydrich had 4 kids. It doesn't matter, he deserved to die.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Plenty of horrible men had kids who damn well deserved better fathers.

[–] FriendlyN3rd@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago
