> he was being ‘eeeeeeee’d’ by a couple of random women

Maybe I'm too old, but what in the world does being eeee'd mean?

>I can assure you, Meta is well aware of the situation, and a Luigi isn’t going to have a chance in this situation.

With all due respect, Luigi was just a CS student with a six pack, a self made gun, and a aching back on a mission.

The Donald himself nearly got got by his ear while he had the secret service of the US of A to protect him, not some private goons for hire, and that was just a random redditor with a rifle, not a professional assassin.

So what would happen if let's say meta's algorithms push a teenage girl to kill herself by exploiting her self esteem issues to sell her more beauty products, and her ex-navy seal dad with nothing more to loose grabs his McMillan TAC-338 boom stick and makes his life mission to avenge his lost daughter at the expense of his own? Zuck would need to be lucky every time, but that bad actor would need to be lucky once.

I'm not advocating for violence btw, my comment was purely hypothetical.

Pretty much anyone without presidential quality security clearing the place ahead of them stands to get clapped Franz Ferdinand style by anyone dedicated enough to camp out waiting.

And yet, Mr. Trump is up there trolling the world like he loves to do, and Zuck is out there doing whatever he wants.

The reality is, all those ex-navy seal Dad’s are (generally) wishing they could make the cut to get on those dudes payroll, not gunning for them. Or sucking up to the cult, in general.

The actual religious idea of Karma is not ‘bad things happen to bad people right now’, the way we would like.

Rather ‘don’t hate on king/priest/rich dude, they did something amazing in a prior life which is why they deserve all this wealth right now, and if they do bad things, they’ll go down a notch - maybe middle class - in the next life’.

It’s to justify why people end up suffering for no apparent reason in this life (because they had to have done something really terrible in a prior life), while encouraging them to do good things still for a hopefully better next life (if you think unclogging Indian sewers in this life is bad, you could get reincarnated as a roach in that sewer in the next life!). So they don’t go out murdering everyone they see, even if they get shit on constantly.

There is no magic bullet. Hoping someone else is going to solve all your problems is exactly how manipulative folks use you for their own purposes. And being a martyr to go after some asshole is being used that way too.

This is also why eventually an entire generation of hippies turned into accountants in the 80’s.
