return2ozmaWhy CEOs should apologize more often for their screwups
Flying SquidA lot of people, not just CEOs, should apologize more for their screw-ups. CEOs obviously should too, but we have a real problem in this world where people think asking for forgiveness is showing weakness.
snowensThat would be admitting to a wrongdoing, and would get them into trouble. But also, they don’t see it as wrong, they see it as “business”
Which is another problem that is not just a CEO problem (although it is a major CEO problem)- people thinking it’s okay to regularly do bad things because they’re doing them for a good reason.
So we should be stopping them.
If you mean by vigilantism, that’s a good way to get innocent people murdered. Unless you know some foolproof way for every random person out there who decides to take the law into their own hands to only kill the guilty. Good luck with that considering the history of “internet sleuths.”
People just want school shooters to update their targeting algos...
But funny how we don't have these moral discussions when school shootings happen though
Hmm
Everyone seems to agree that school shootings shouldn’t happen, but Americans have been fed a steady diet of vigilante superhero myths since the creation of Superman in the 1930s and too many of them want to be their own Batman or Punisher.
You are missing the point of what the people want.
They don't want a super hero, he is just useful here.
People want for ruling class to listen and adjsit course. They are not getting it.
This got their attention and people are driving the point home. If they keep up their policies, when they get gunned down, we didn't see nothing.
This the country the built for us. They love social Darwinism so why shouldn't they face natural selection.
People want to be superheroes. Do you think this guy is going to be the only one who decides to take the law into their own hands? Do you think everyone who does is going to get the person they intend to get and never make a mistake?
As our dearest elites like to do, I am willing to face these risks.
That's the risk of living in a degerate society where you are unable to get redress from the government or ruling class.
It is a class war which is inherently an asymmetric engagement. I am part of the working class so I can't in good faith condemn this man.
And there it is- it’s okay with you if innocent people die as long as guilty people also die.
That really doesn’t make you much better than the CEOs who also don’t care if innocent people die.
Innocent people die for no reason under current arrangement everyday.
Best we get is some fake Pearl clutch about how unfortunate it is along with thoughts and prayers bullshit.
But you want people reading this exchange to worry about proverbial innocent person who might die if keep praising the shooter for a job well done?
Again, you clearly don't understand what this is about or refuse to for whatever reason.
Americans got unified here... Do you wonder what would make normal people feel their way?
“They kill innocent people, so it’s okay if we kill innocent people” is not the moral argument you think it is.
But you want people reading this exchange to worry about proverbial innocent person who might die if keep praising the shooter for a job well done?
Yes. Yes I do. Because I pay attention to what happens when vigilantes find the wrong person.

Something tells me you wouldn’t be so willing to have someone misidentify and then attack or kill you or someone you care about. But it’s okay when it’s an innocent stranger, right?
I wouldn't be willing to have my health insurance claims denied but here we are
You are entitled to your opinion and each American make up their own minds
That does not address a single thing I said. Don’t change the subject. I was talking about vigilantism, not insurance claims.
Your bloodlust for killing the innocent when it is “necessary” is noted.
How many innocent people it is acceptable to kill per CEO? 1? 10? 100? 1000? What’s the maximum number here you’ll accept? How about if someone throws a bomb on top of a CEO in the middle of a city and it kills everyone around him? Acceptable? What if the CEO is with their baby at the time and the baby gets shot too? Fine to shoot a baby as long as the CEO dies?
I want to know where your line is, but I have a feeling you’ll try to change the subject again rather than respond.
We've reached an impasse, readers can make up their own minds on this topic.
I knew you wouldn’t tell me where the line was.
I can only assume you’re fine with a baby getting gunned down in the service of your war.
Are you doing Israel's beheaded babies trick to win an online argument?
Unhinged
No. I am not. Nice try attempting to paint me as a Zionist though. You wouldn’t be the first to try that nonsense.
I mean, it’s easy to find the c-suite and board of directors of any company.
It’s also easy to mistake one person for another. It’s happened over and over and over again. People with the same name as someone else get harassed because they get doxxed and the harassers don’t bother checking.
You must know this. How many times have we seen it played out now?

This poor guy killed himself over it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Sunil_Tripathi
And now we’ve added assassination into the mix.
Do you really think this is going to end without any innocent blood spilled?
Edit: It’s also not hard to convince a bunch of people some random person is an evil CEO just by doxxing them. Like I said, people don’t bother checking.
lol. These people are recognizable. You need to go to a lot of effort to locate and plan that. It’s highly unlikely anyone would “mistake” them for someone else. That’s like someone saying “I thought I was aiming at Elon Musk, at his house, but it turns out he has a doppelgänger who lives next door!”
Really unlikely. Did you used to be a fed?
Please show me the odds. I assume you’ve calculated them. Because I gave you a ton of examples of the wrong person being identified, including people who the vigilante thinks were a totally different person but they looked like the person they wanted to attack.
And I would like to know, like I asked someone else, where your line is. Is it okay if someone bombs a CEO in the middle of a city and a bunch of people around them die? If the CEO is with their family including an infant when they are attacked, is it okay if the infant is killed too?
No, we have a pretty good example of how to do it. Patience, low powder shells, home made silencer. Just don’t buy Starbucks or take a cab without changing clothes somewhere haha. Perhaps a prosthetic nose or a mustache.
You’re going to the worst case, when that’s pretty unlikely. Who has a bomb?! lol. It’s guns. Single target. Simple.
Again, you sound like a fed.
Insulting me doesn’t tell me where the line is.
The line is check your target, get them alone, and just them. That’s a fuck ton more than they do when they indiscriminately kill thousands of people by denying valid claims. They’re getting off easy.
So, you ever had a job in law enforcement of any kind?
Why do you assume everyone wanting to do this vigilante thing will do that?
So, you ever had a job in law enforcement of any kind?
I’ve played this game before. If I say no, you’ll just claim I’m lying about it.
And it’s really silly to assume someone works or ever worked in law enforcement because they have seen a lot of vigilantes attack or kill the wrong person. Believe it or not, I just think that’s why vigilantism is a bad thing. You make a lot of silly assumptions.
But sure, I was totally in law enforcement.
Obviously this is an invented persona covering up my undercover police activites. Me and James Acaster. Curses, you found me out! I’m going to have to go back to the station and get a new mustache now.
Help requested: I am emigrating to the UK by the end of January. I am a legal citizen. I could really use help lining up a job before I get there. More info inside. (I hope this is okay, mods.) - Lemmy.World
I am emigrating from the U.S. because my daughter is queer and I don’t think she is safe under Trump. She won’t be totally safe in the UK either, I understand that, but it’s as safe as I can get her right now. As I said, I can legally work in the UK. I have citizenship through my father. I am applying right and left, but any additional help would be really wonderful. I’ve been going to some recommended sites- Indeed, Glassdoor, Guardian Jobs and the UK government’s job websites, but I am hoping someone here might also have connections because I really don’t want to deplete our savings and whatever we get from selling things like my car while I look for work. I have spent most of my professional life in the video and audio production industries. I had my own small post-production studio in Los Angeles for 10 years. I have worked as a video editor, audio editor and sound designer for multiple prestigious clients and also for some low-budget film companies. I also have experience as a news videographer, I’ve done a lot of TV and radio advertising work, and I have an impressive list of people I’ve done voice over work for (I specialize in characters and accents). On top of that, although this is not on my CV because it generally doesn’t lead to work, I have 15 years’ experience doing standup comedy and comedy writing. I never got famous, but I almost got to be a part of a reboot of National Lampoon Magazine which ended up never happening, so that was cool. Anyway, if anyone here can help me out, I will happily send you my CV. Obviously, I’m not going to doxx myself and put it here on Lemmy, but if you send me a PM with an email address, I can send it there. Thanks.
So were you ever or are you now in law enforcement, yes or no?
Like I said, you figured out my dastardly undercover plan to spend my entire adult life working in video and audio production:
I have spent most of my professional life in the video and audio production industries. I had my own small post-production studio in Los Angeles for 10 years. I have worked as a video editor, audio editor and sound designer for multiple prestigious clients and also for some low-budget film companies.
I also have experience as a news videographer, I’ve done a lot of TV and radio advertising work, and I have an impressive list of people I’ve done voice over work for (I specialize in characters and accents).
I went to the police academy at age 5 and got hired by the FBI when I was 9 and by the time I was 18 and went to school to become an audio engineer, I had already begun my federal police plan to infiltrate Lemmy. In the year 1999.
And it would have worked if it wasn’t for you kids and your dog.
I don’t know how you figured out that I am very much definitely a cop for sure, but you’ve ruined 38 years of hard police work!
So were you ever or are you now in law enforcement, yes or no?
I told you:
I don’t know how you figured out that I am very much definitely a cop for sure, but you’ve ruined 38 years of hard police work!
So weird how this question drives you so mad that you can’t just answer it. I never thought this would be someone’s button.
I did answer it:
I don’t know how you figured out that I am very much definitely a cop for sure, but you’ve ruined 38 years of hard police work!
Yes. Or. No.
I’ve played this game before. If I say no, you’ll just claim I’m lying about it.
CruxifuxInnocent people are already getting murdered. At least one murderer has now been held accountable that otherwise wouldn’t have. That’s a net positive to me so far.
Sorry, that makes killing more innocent people acceptable?
When innocent people start dying because of this maybe I’ll give a shit. But the only people who have died from this is one horrible fucking monster. If you expect people to pretend to be sad about that then you’re a fool.
I have shown two people now a couple of dozen links of vigilantism getting an innocent person beaten or killed. The idea that copycats here would somehow be an exception and this is the one time “internet sleuths” always get it right is silly.
This guy thinks that if CEOs get killed, lots of innocent people will die. Yet we have a pretty good example of that not happening. My guess is that they still think “protesting” and “demanding” change actually creates it.
Yeah. Where I come from he have a word for people like him. It starts with an “I” and ends with a “diot.”
They’re a mod, so that should highlight their desire for obedience above everything.
Stop lying about me.
(Anyway, I thought you people decided I was a cop.)
You are a mod. That’s no lie. And look at your own comments…. You fight for doing nothing, and relying on other people to fight for you. Hate to tell ya bro, it ain’t working out.
(And if you are a cop, you’re a bad one)
The lie is the claim that I “desire obedience above everything.”
I do not. Disobey me all you want. Just don’t violate the rules I have been told to enforce. I didn’t even make up the rules. In fact, I didn’t even ask to be a moderator. I was just made one. On top of that, I’m not a moderator in this community in the first place.
So yes, you lied.
“Just don’t violate the rules I have been told to enforce”
In other words, “I was just doing my job.”
This is exactly my point. “Whatever rules, regardless of their worth or how fair they are, should be enforced to the fullest.”
I’m sure this extends to government rules as well. Will you say this about all the crazy laws we can assume the right-wing will pass over the next few years?
This is where you and I will never agree.
Are you calling me a Nazi? Really?
Lemmy.world isn’t a government. It’s a 100% free website that you are under no requirement to use.
Stop being so entitled.
No. That would be stupid. You would leave the country before you had to do that. I don’t think you’re a monster. But if you couldn’t leave the country… I don’t have much faith that you would do anything about it, based on every single thing you have said.
Oh wait, you’re the weird guy who is convinced I’m a cop, aren’t you?
I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. You have a comment history.
Sure, dude. You already showed me all your other sockpuppet accounts.
Don’t worry, I haven’t set my officers on you. Yet.
No I don’t. You don’t speak for me.
You’re the guy who sees The Trolly Problem and chooses to do nothing.
I’m the guy who thinks the trolley problem is a useless mental exercise that has no real-world analogue, but makes certain people like yourself feel superior to people like me.
And you are superior to me, but you don’t need to rub it in.
I have no idea why people insist on telling me what an utterly loathsome waste of space I am as if I didn’t already know. Believe me, if I wasn’t responsible for a child, I wouldn’t be wasting the space.
So were you ever or are you now in law enforcement, yes or no?
Do you think if you ask me enough times, I’ll give you a different answer than
“I don’t know how you figured out that I am very much definitely a cop for sure, but you’ve ruined 38 years of hard police work!”
Because good luck with that.
I’m just loving how crazy this is making you.
Weird how I’m the crazy one but you’re the one stalking me across Lemmy because you’re convinced I’m secretly a cop.
