4. Educate donโ€™t attack


No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Donโ€™t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

If we feel the comment is uncalled for we will remove it. Stay civil and there wonโ€™t be problems.


5. No Advertising


Under no circumstance are you allowed to promote or advertise any product or service


6. No factually misleading information


Content that makes claims or implications that can be proven false or misleading will be removed.


7. Headlines


If the title of the post isnโ€™t an original title of the article then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format โ€œOriginal title: {title here}โ€.


8. Staff Discretion


Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member's actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.

It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.


9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties


Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

Screenshots must include info to support a relevant conversation within this community and must show a VISIBLE time/date stamp for posterity. If you are caught manipulating content of a screenshot, your post will be removed and you will receive an indefinite ban from this community at the discretion of the moderator(s)

No pass through/archive services are allowed as they potentially feed traffic back to these services, directly or indirectly (e.g. Services like Xcancel or Nitter)

I tried to look up what the orca one was and all I found was fake AI videos about non-existent rich people killed by orcas and sharks. No news articles, nothing real.

Can we get this during winter too?

[โ€“] MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Why stop there? I'd prefer a weekly occurence. We could call it CEO Sacrifice Sunday

We only should sacrifice the best of the best.

Wonder who they pissed off. Gotta love the article focusing on โ€œphilanthropyโ€ while stepping quickly past company failings that would result in lost jobs, but that the billionaires would be โ€œunbotheredโ€ by it.

[โ€“] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Adding this, in another article they're described as very pro Israel, and had a lawsuit from some cousints who had been cut out of the business. Anti Israel sentiment was not as loud back then, but it makes you wonder.

I'm sorry for their kids, their son seems to be genuinely grieving, and whether they are rich brats or not that's a terrible shocking thing to happen to your parents. But they were selling their mansion so they could build another 20 million dollar mansion in Forest Hill, and that's hard to feel sorry for exactly. There aren't many ethnic drug companies (save for the MS drug companies who actually invest all their profits into MS research, at least where I live, and are super generous) and I doubt he was running one of them. Their mansion was eventually just torn down, the wealthy Chinese prospective buyers declared it immediately to be bad luck when they entered with the real estate agent who found them. All pretty interesting.

Why is Luigi there? He didn't do anything.

Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing!

I wouldn't have been able to murder Thomas Edison with a Roman cavalry charge if Luigi hadn't fixed those UI bugs

Yup we were hanging out the whole time

Kindly remind that CEOs are just scapegoats and replaceable. They answer to the private equity and institutional shareholders. Which is largely behind the scenes as designed.

[โ€“] eskimofry@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

this is only partially true because CEOs sit on the board of their friends' companies.

[โ€“] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

And once everyone is too afraid to become a CEO, that should make things a bit harder for the dark hand.

Well, I doubt it will work. We already see whatโ€™s going to happen after UnitedHealth. The investors are suing the company for not meeting the profit targets after the killing. Plus, there are always opportunists who would be willing to take that risk and get a couple million dollars.

I don't get the orcas, did they kill a CEO?

[โ€“] Hello_there@fedia.io 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There was a yacht they attacked. Dno if there were injuries.

[โ€“] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They were orca hooligans.

Most of the 15 were male juveniles and teens, the "most curious and exploratory" of an orca population, suggesting that what started as playful head-bumping on boat rudders has escalated as the animals have grown larger. The team notes that this rudder-bumping behavior was observed around 2017, but the interactions didn't result in any boat damage. Now that the orcas are larger, their game has become a lot more powerful.

And no orca over the age of 25 โ€“ when males are fully grown โ€“ has been seen participating in the tomfoolery. Scientists suspect younger orcas have seen older siblings playing with their rudder 'toys' and then copied. (Some females have been spotted, but they're most likely there just to babysit the kids.)

Don't be too sad, that's a scientist guess, not a fact.

For real. I grew up around 26, haven't attacked a boat since then.

John McAfee had that post about how fucking whales isn't bestiality so maybe it's him?
