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 10 months 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 31 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] Gorillatactics@hexbear.net 48 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] neo@hexbear.net 44 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months 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 10 months 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.

He succeeded in making a grand entrance.

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

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 33 points 10 months 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 10 months 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.

If there's a video out there i would pay to see it

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Lmao I thought the cage went down with them but they tumbled out the side.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

omg, i love that they show it on loop. watched that bozo fall like 6 times.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 23 points 10 months ago

omg I did too! A simple safety harness would have saved them! THey could have just clipped in to the cage and they'd be fine! This is 7.634 thousand times funnier now to me, personally, a person who will hold up the entire fucking work site to make someone put on their eyepro.

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

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 26 points 10 months 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

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

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 22 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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

good riddance

[-] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

Between this and the Oceangate thing, why even use a guillotine on these rich hacks when they can simply cook themselves with their own doohickeys?
