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

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.

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

Must be frustrating to have your authority figures be this inconsistent and hypocritical...I like adults to be honest and clear about what they mean.

If your parents do that kind of shit they're not good parents.

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

Luigi was just being sarcastic.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 23 hours ago

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

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 Salami 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.

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

Luigi was just saying the quiet part out loud.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours 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

Who's joking?

Your dad is a billionaire?
