They should throw at least 100 virgins on top of the payout!

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'll volunteer my virginity as well!

Curb your Enthusiasm did a whole season about this. Should be relatively straightforward for him to get them to call it off as long as he follows their blueprint.

I'm picturing Taco dressing up as "Buck Dancer" and arguing over hotel staff about the proper handling of baked goods and whether they are "freshly baked" by the in-house chef, or just Pepperidge Farm products.

🤣

If some Iranians want to hunt down and put an end to some vile child molester’s wretched existence, who am I to stand in their way?

Oh my. Many would do it for free, but with this much incentive perhaps someone more "skilled" might want to get some skin in the game and expedite results.

Under other circumstances I'd find this kind of effort deplorable, but oh well. I'll label it balance/Newton's 3rd Law and call it a day. When you have these elephants dancing around with billions of lives there tends to be a push back of some kind, sooner or later.

Even if not now, with this specific effort, someday the bill will have to come due to those involved. Just like Hitler managed to get pretty far in his quest to spread suffering but eventually got his comeuppance. A marathon, not a race, as they say.

What’s an ear worth, just asking with no intent or plan, just want to know what that guy managed.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

What a time to be alive!

[-] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

Is there a GiveSendGo / GoFundMe type of place we can donate to? ;)

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

A day ago it was 40 million. Sooooo, where we at now?
