as someone with highly advanced entrepreneurial skills in the marketplace of business administration, i would have simply chosen not to fall out of a box to my death in front my employees. but i applaud his commitment to the lack of a social safety net.

As a multi-billionaire with thousands of employees and millions of clients, I am here to tell you that the secret to business success is not found within the classrooms of Harvard or the board rooms of JP Morgan, but within a straight jacket wrapped in a large iron chain being plunged upside down into a pool of ice water with only a close-pin between my teeth.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

When you have no safety net literally, as a bit, because you want to make some weird internet communists feel a moment of joy.

The lib I made up in my head to argue with; "You can't just mock people for dying in stupid ways you have to remember the human"

Me "Lol his vast unearned wealth literally sent him plummeting in to the earth where he was crushed by his own arrogance an vaniglory looooooooooool"

The home made submarine proved we can indeed mock people for dying in stupid ways

hahahaha imagine falling a mere 4.5 meters and dying I would simply roll to avoid fall damage in to a 2h poke.

I recently hit dad age and omg Asuka needs a supportive home environment and the way her character is treated both in the story and by fans and marketing is disgusting and horrible.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

I have no idea of the context of that emote beyond "pathetic" and have no desire to know

Removed his bloated salary from the payroll, man was truly dedicated to profit margin optimization until the very end.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago

Holy shit imagine how great it would have been to be in the crowd. Have you ever seen a video of one of these things? Imagine the feeling of sitting in the audience and realizing you were going to get to leave early.

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 2 years ago

get to leave early AND have a good story to tell later

[-] Gorillatactics@hexbear.net 48 points 2 years ago

I know one guy in the audience saw this and thought "I should've wished that I wanted to win the lottery instead"

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago

sooooo many people had to pretend to be covering their mouths in horror to hide their smiles.

[-] neo@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago

Not quite as good as the submersible but I'll take it.

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Hey at least they're trying to innovate. The savings of using a cage versus a submarine goes right to the investors.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago

Something extremely symbolic about the guy who made a billion dollars hy cutting corners, many of them probably in regards to workers protections, dying because a cheap chain snapped on them.

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

He succeeded in making a grand entrance.

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago
[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

this is the type of efficiency you can only find with C-Level people

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago

He donated $5 million to establish the Vistex Institute for Executive Education at the school in 2017.

For the crime of contributing to a business school ten thousand thousand deaths will not suffice.

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

nooo think of all the hungover frat bros who wont have to take a real calculus course because of his generosity.

When you optimize profits by cutting safety regulations.

[-] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

Gonna add "make a grand entrance" to the ol list of euphemisms.

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

I would start shitting myself because you wouldn’t be able to convince me I didn’t do that with my mind.

as the strongest CEO Shanjay fought the fraud the king of falling Gravity he began to expand his domain "Zero (Social) Safety Nets" Gravity shrunk back in fear as Shanjay said "stand strong Gravity you are proud" and then he asked Shanjay "are you falling because you are Shanjay or are you Shanjay because you are falling" and Shanjay said "Nah I'd win"

Sorry jjk has not been good for my mental health

Have a nice trip see you next fall bozo! chefs-kiss

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

14 feet? I feel like I'd survive that. Did he dive head first or something

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

the chain broke on one side and the cart wound up sorta slinging them at the ground like a trebuchet, there's a video downthread

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Plus concrete is very unforgiving. Especially for things like your skull.

If I remember, the average rate of fall injuries to height off the ground increases at an exponential rate the higher you get. Even falling off a two-foot step stool/ladder has a decent chance of fucking you up.

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's all probability. Someone survived falling out of an airplane, and yeah a stepstool will kill you like one in a hundred times you fall off it

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
