    It’d be incredibly unrealistic to have them have any degree of success given the ease of determining their motive and potential targets, and the sheer amount of resources the police would undoubtedly throw at finding someone who was killing oligarchs.

      Star Wars: Andor is made and produced by fucking Disney. Squid Games was produced by Netflix.

      Never underestimate the ability of capitalism to commodify anything and everything, even the dissent of the system.

      Try to make it on VEO3 and Google will come back saying it’s against the TOS.

        Wasn’t that cancelled?

        the show was later picked up by Fox Nation, a streaming service from Fox News Media, and the 33rd season premiered on October 1, 2021

        Ah. On-brand for them.

    You’re making a show about killing money men. Good luck convincing the money men to fund it. And that’s how it works.

    I mean, I get it, I feel the same sometimes. It’s just much better to strip them of their assets and dump em all on epstein island with a survival package including guide.

    Let them learn how to survive for real instead. Much better punishment.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
