TLDR: Toxic tiger parents caused their kid to lose their sanity and plotted for the parents death

I mean, think about it. My grandmother was a piece of shit, which caused my mother to be a piece of shit.

So this probably also happen in affluent families. One of those families is gonna be the ruling dynasty. So in the beginning somebody send an army to conquer lands. Then was really strict (aka: abusive) towards his children in order to find the "perfect" hier to the kingdom/empire. Because of the abuse, the heir grows up to be a tyrant. This chain reaction lasted for centuries, which is why our world is just tyranny after tyranny.

Obviously this is not to say it absolves the tyrants of their wrongdoings, but its the explanation.

Every account you ever had, every post/comment you ever posted, now has your real name, a photo of you, and your address, all just magically show up on the webpage right next to each of your posts/comments (also, no "hacking" could hide the info). All deleted posts/comments are magically restored and nothing you do (short of permanently shutting down the website and physical destruction of the servers) can delete them. (Any edits would still show every change you made.) How fucked are you?

And don't think about changing your name, or moving, all this info updates in real time. (for "magic" reason)

(You also cannot delete any future posts.)

Literally on the front page, wtf

Like what does being gay have to do with their crimes?

Just use "Two men sentenced to life imprisonment for sexual abuse of children"

This feels like covert agenda-posting

Theres no death note community to post this in so... here we go...

(Btw, how many names do you think you can fit on there?)

Okay this is gonna probably make absolutely zero sense, but I'm gonna try and explain:

(This might cause some brain damage and you might lose a few braincells from reading this)

For context, most of my family are US Citizens, we were all born in China.

My mom (and my dad, somewhat) is just so big on "Tough on crime", whenever there were alleged lootings during protests, my parents would be okay with them getting shot to death. Constantly blame "Democrats" for crime and the "migrant crisis". Also love their Wechat and constantly play (Chinese) nationalistic songs and other propaganda on the fucking speaker. Also, if you are dealing with severe depression, and temporarily can't work, they call you a "廢柴", basically the cantonese term equivalent of the term "useless eater".

My brother is into some crazy conspiracy theory that the Chinese Government is in a conspiracy to replace Han Chinese with, not only Chinese ethnic minorities, but African Migrants (like wtf dude), basically the equivalent of the "white replacement conspiracy theory" but in China instead (yea it sounds insane, doesn't it? Like... buddy, China doesn't even give permanent residency to foreigners, what the fuck is this insane conspiracy theory? Also, he's a US Citizen, why the fuck does he care?). Simultaneously, he opposes racism from white people in the US (... some crazy hypocrisy, isn't it? 🤨).

Tell me this isn't just me with the most insane family in the world.

Like this:

But replace "Hawaii" with your location.

🙃

Well... What happened next?

(Excerpt from Wikipedia:)

Tennessee state law required that the name of a candidate who died before the election be removed from the ballot, and it did not allow the candidate's party to replace a deceased candidate who died within 30 days of the election. Accordingly, after Burks's death, Looper became the only candidate listed on the official ballot for Burks's senate seat.

Several people tried to have Looper's name stricken from the ballot, claiming that Looper's arrest constituted moral turpitude. The state Republican Party distanced itself from Looper. To prevent Looper from winning the state senate seat on a technicality, Burks's widow, Charlotte was put forth as a write-in candidate for her husband's seat. Dozens of volunteers helped her campaign, including some Republicans. On election day, Charlotte Burks, as a write-in candidate, won the seat with 30,252 votes (95.18%) against Looper's 1,531 votes (4.82%). One of her first initiatives as state senator was to introduce legislation to ensure that the name of any candidate who dies within 40 days of an election could remain on the ballot, thus preventing the situation that occurred after her husband's death. Charlotte Burks won re-election in 2002, 2006, and 2010. She retired after the 2014 election.

Yea... I read this and just WTF'ed at this. Imagine if the dude never got caught.

Like why run a campaign if you could just a little crime.

Also, dude was so stupid, could've hired an assassin instead of doing it himself.

(Also, if he were a former president instead, he would've been immune from the criminal prosecution. Rookie mistake.)

Say, some alien just wanted to mess with us, but doesn't invade, or even care enough to want to kill us, but seeing how everyone is on their phone all the time, they decided to just jam all our radios to watch us suffer. Their transmitting power they use is so powerful, its jamming signals are 1000 times stronger than the strongest radios we have, so there's no way we can overpower the jamming.

What does the immediate aftermath look like?

What does it look like in the long term?

(Please don't say "kill the aliens" they have tech so advanced, its impossible to do it)

Not just as in Lemmy, but as in general.
