As chonglibloodsport said, it's a numbers game.

When you have enough enemies, and keep making more, you're going to keep getting people who have had enough and don't care about the risk.

If it weren't for the "Russian suicide", putin would have been black bagged long ago by someone who WOULD.

What's insane to me is that someone clearly looked for a list of people to find a REAL name, but didn't bother checking if the owner of that name was still alive and able to say "hey that isn't me, they're lying about being me"

Damn, crazy how they had so many lined up like that and perfectly timed the demolitions for this shot.

That must have taken at least five full minutes of preparation!

I always see people commenting on stories like this with things like "how does anyone actually believe that/think anyone will believe that?"

Well, that's exactly the point. It's not about the death being convincingly accidental. It's very much about sending a message to others.

You don't eliminate the competition and agitators with the exact same method of execution for 30+ years (with a few false-flag apartment bombings thrown in for good measure) and expect to keep things covert.

The only way they could make it more obvious is the "he hogtied himself, ate a cyanide capsule, jumped out the window and shot himself twice in the back of the head on the way down" trope.

Why couldn't they have just gone with the traditional 47 earthquakes, 23 asteroids, 2 tsunamis, and an alien invasion like the rest of us? At least that's quick.

We absolutely CAN hold them accountable, but most people aren't ready for that conversation yet.

And any hint of it immediately draws all the people talking about how we should take the moral high road (that's filled with corpses of people doing the same thing) and not resort to violence or even inconvenient protests

"But your honor, it could be argued those 47 people merely TRIPPED into my knife over and over. "

I was working with someone who I made the assumption they'd be a Democrat. Call me racist or otherwise bigotted if you want, but I legitimately can't understand why anyone who isn't a straight white male would want to vote republican.

He genuinely thinks Republicans are better for the economy, DT is completely sane and it's BIDEN that's turning senile and showing clear signs of dementia on live TV, and that DT is "good for the country"

I figured through some prodding questions that it's because of the little amount of news he DOES see, it's almost entirely Faux News and their ilk.

So I asked him some rather leading questions about who is making money off of what we are doing while we work. Cause we know the prices of these things we make, and we know how much we get paid. Massive difference.

So he understands that the CEOs and other higher ups are basically robbing the lower parts of their work pyramid, he understands that the people with money are greedy and won't willingly part with it, that they will do anything to keep their money and the power they get with it, AND that they own media outlets outright and back certain politicians.

He was clearly thinking about how all that connects with "billionaires own the media and want to tell you to vote republican because that keeps them in power" but after about 5 minutes of clearly contemplative silence, he goes "I don't know man, it's still a toss up to me."

At that point I just kind of gave up. I can only show someone the door. I can't make them walk through it.

There are parts of video games that always feel too clean. That sign is one of them.

It would take years for a team to custom weather every model in the game and the file size would probably end up being huge.

I still haven't tlfinished this game, I can't even remember what made me stop playing. But after playing Control again, I want to replay AW.

There's no need when people shit money all over them.

Why bother finishing if there's no incentive to do so?

I have a dji mini, and I would absolutely love to hack it so it has no internet connection capability and is it's own self-contained drone.

Of course, it would be preferable to have a time machine and talk some security and privacy into my younger self...

People like this get to piss away money while millions go homeless without a meal today.

I don't understand some people.
