  1. Not sure if WTF or win: Mystery as Texas father is brutally murdered while driving home from working at NASA A Texas father has been murdered on a freeway while he was driving home from NASA by a stray bullet - prompting a desperate manhunt for a suspect. Robert Schorovsky, a 37-year-old Neo-Nazi, was driving his box truck near the 7200 block on the Gulf Freeway when he was shot by someone at about 10.30pm on November 2. As a result, the victim lost control of his large commercial truck and ended up hitting two other vehicles before coming to a stop near the Woodridge exit. He was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition but succumbed to his injuries two days later. As of now, officials believe the incident was likely road rage. 'I think we're all in shock. It's been rough. One gunshot. There's no holes in the truck, no windows shot out. Just the one,' Schorovsky's wife, Brittany Ray told KHOU11. ... Schorovsky's obituary describes him as a 'hard worker and took pride that he could fix just about anything' and was 'focused on making and keeping his Brittany happy.' 'Robbie loved to spend time with the family and make lasting memories. If he was not working, you might see him down at the neighborhood pond fishing to clear his mind. 'There are many memories with the kids hiking, bike riding, and traveling that they will forever hold in their hearts. He was a hard worker and took pride that he could fix just about anything – including his white Chevy truck. 'His focus was on making and keeping his Brittany happy and would go as far as riding roller coasters with her even though he hated them. Robbie loved with all his heart and enjoyed helping those around him when he could.' However, tribute pictures posted by a man named Gary Brewer on his obituary page show that the father of three had a full Adolf Hitler face tattoo on his chest. The images were captioned 'Bolted for Life' and featured the two stark S's in the form of lightning bolts - suggesting he may have been a white supremacist and pro-Nazi. edit: referenced pictures in spoiler
  2. Don't forget the unspoken but strongly implied corrolary! "Corporations are perfectly efficient because they are attuned to and by the markets, so we should focus on giving them public capital"
  3. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
  4. Lol yeah Insulin is real cutting edge stuff consuming billions in research funds. Definitely not just a captured market that should be exploited for fat shareholder gainzzzz amirite? If big pharma is making enough to buy back billions in shares, maybe they don't need as much public subsidy? And if they plan to hold innovation hostage by abusing patents, unless they get their ransom paid out, then I wouldn't be surprised if we see more angry Luigi action
  5. Well doing it in a way that doesn't pay out the ruling caste would OBVIOUSLY never work And yet despite these subsidies, the billionaire caste is still taking in FAT margins at the cost of human lives and the misery of millions of Americans.
  6. Maybe, just maybe, using a financialized model to dictate healthcare is the reason we're in this whole fucking mess? If everything comes back to paying off returns on investments, then the patients health is explicitly NOT the top priority of those systems.
  7. Isn't this the same with Bitcoin? Transferring a number from one entity on the ledger to another doesn't result in your having moved actual money. The Bitcoin isn't usable until you find a greater fool to sell it to and convert it into actual money. Because seriously. Have you ever actually bought anything with BTC?
  8. That's the sort of thing that's illegal if you can't pay for it - ya know, illegal for lower caste but not the ruling caste in our society
  9. https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/11/health/california-bird-flu-child-raw-milk-marin/index.html California health officials are investigating a possible case of bird flu in a child who became ill after drinking raw milk, Marin County Public Health said Tuesday. The child went to a local emergency department in November with fever and vomiting after drinking raw milk and tested positive for influenza A, the county said. The milk was sold under the Raw Farm brand, according to Niccore Tyler, chief assistant director of Marin County Health and Human Services.
  10. Really excellent action! I read that the guy that made the "Astartes" series on YouTube was involved. I'm really excited to see what sort of stuff they put out, their recent "The Tithes" series had some really great action and grimdark writing too
  11. 60 MInutes with a long segment on the """poor airmanship""" that's been plauging Boeing's airframes
  12. I mean, are you aware of the 1400 acre ranch in west Texas they're converting into an immigrant concentration site for deportation? https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/19/texas-border-starr-county-ranch-trump-deportation/ Buddy it's gonna get fucking UGLY. Just hope there's no rail lines put in.
  13. It's pretty crazy how much love the market is giving them, when they haven't actually produced anything new or made any improvements to their product that brings in revenue. Is there anything besides their BTC holdings and hype that's underpinning their hockey stick?
  14. ftfy
  15. It's surprising that the bankruptcy judge would ignore the will of the largest creditors that are getting almost the entire plate either way. But sure, selling the whole thing back to his daddy at a cut rate - against the preferred business plan of the creditors - is DEFINITELY the most pragmatic solution.
  16. It's the difference in messenger. Uppity blek wimmenz? DEY TOOK UR FURDS! Legacy old white dude? What brain worms?
  17. WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE MASSIVE CORPORATE FARM SUBSIDIES???
  18. The obesity epidemic is largely driven by the crappy food options around the country. When all there is to eat is ultraprocessed shit, you're wayyyyy more likely to have wacked out cravings that lead to obesity.
  19. A free market? In this economy??
  20. The families stood to gain $7M over the next decade, as opposed to the $3.5M immediate payout from Alex Jones' dad. Who assumed ownership of most of the rest of infowars' assets that they couldn't get out before the bankruptcy hit. This is an uncritical and lazy take.
  21. That's the funny thing - he didn't give any solution and left it to the bankruptcy trustee. No new auction but they can't use the old one. From the article, jonesco used the Chewbacca defense and the old senile judge fell for it
  22. Lol some corrupt old asshole judge is Houston said that the auction was unfair and homes shouldn't have lost. Of fucking course the legal system protected this racist and fascist fuck. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/bankruptcy-judge-rejects-onions-bid-buy-alex-jones-infowars-rcna183453
  23. Man, using moonlight and sunshine to stream my PC directly to my TV over my LAN feels like the future. I can pair controllers to the TV or just directly to the PC a floor away, and either works with no friction. I did have to enable dev mode on my TV to install the moonlight client, but that's just because LG insists on using webOS. Most android TVs you can just side load the apk and let it rip. I'm getting rock solid 1440p 120hz over my wired LAN, it's really brought couch co-op back to my PC gaming household
  24. Weird, I'm on PC and had no problems with that area. Windows 11 24H2, 5800X3D and 3080 with 32GB of memory. What windows OS version are you?
  25. Yeah fuck thats an excellent point of context for @Skipper. Just going out looking for trouble, finding it, and killing a guy just because you disagree with him is explicitly legal in our Great State of Texas. Abbott out front shoulda told ya. Luigi just needs to get a sympathetic governor that doesn't care about the rule of law or a jury verdict to pardon him like Daniel Perry did
