Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Careful not to lionize this billionaire for killing a billionaire. We don't know what his social media is like.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm choosing to credit this kill to Mother Earth.

While you may want to lionize this billionaire for killing a billionaire, don't forget, he also killed the guy who killed a billionaire.

On 24 April 2013, the eight-story Rana Plaza commercial building collapsed in Savar, a sub-district near Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. At least 1,127 people died and over 2,438 were injured. The factory housed a number of separate garment factories employing around 5,000 people, several shops, and a bankand manufactured apparel for brands including the Benetton Group, Joe Fresh, The Children's Place, Primark, Monsoon, and Dressbarn. Of the 29 brands identified as having sourced products from the Rana Plaza factories, only 9 attended meetings held in November 2013 to agree a proposal on compensation to the victims. Several companies refused to sign including Walmart, Carrefour, Bonmarché, Mango, Auchan and Kik. The agreement was signed by Primark, Loblaw, Bonmarche, and El Corte Inglés.

And of course this redacted-1redacted-2 gets a lot more sympathy than the 1127 Bangladeshis that died partially due to his insatiable greed.

The billionaire then become kinetically embroiled in a gravity-involved incident, colliding at high speed with Earth, a 4.5 billion-year-old planet the oligarch had reportedly been exploiting. The world, known for supporting terrestrial life, was apparently uninjured by the impact according to relieved witnesses

Nah, caves are fucking cool. Did you know there's species of cave fish in random-ass holes around vegas, split off from their fishy-bretheren for god knows how long?

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

I wholeheartedly agree! I'm pointing out the tendency with the very rich to buy their way to extreme places with little training, some to their deaths. Everest, Titanic, and now Caving. Many such examples!
