The internet has come full circle!

There used to be a game in the 90’s where you punch Bill Gates in the face.

I remember an early 2000 game called Who wants to Beat Up a Millionaire

Which was a quiz and if you got the right answer, you get to beat up your millionaire opponents until they aren’t millionaires any more. Even getting some weapons.

Ah, good times.

And he still hasn’t apologized for what he did.

SeaJ , (edited )

He also doesn’t consider himself a pedophile despite grooming and raping a child multiple times.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

He was proclaimed innocent of grooming, because he didn’t groom her. Please familiarise yourself with basic facts of the case before spouting nonsense.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

He’s apologized repeatedly in the past, calling it his greatest mistske. What are you on about?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Please do show evidence of this.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

He literally said it during the interview this article is about.

And I quote:

I did something wrong 10 years ago. I have to take that. But hurting the people around me, whether it be Matthew (his teammate) or my wife or my child… that goes too far for me.

And from a previous interview in 2018 (in Dutch): nos.nl/l/2240281

I did what I did. I can’t reverse it, so I’ll have to live with the consequences. You may judge me, of course. It is the biggest mistake of my life.

Neither of those are apologies. I am really concerned about what you think apologies are and what you think is acceptable for an adult to do to a child.

njm1314 ,

Good Lord neither of those are apologies come the fuck on.

Dkarma ,

Where is the apology. Admitting wrongdoing is not an apology, bud.

Commiunism , in US Considers a Rare Antitrust Move: Breaking Up Google

Good, but why now? For years, Google has been way more dominant both practically and culturally until very recently, and only now after they stumbled hard with their AI venture, Bing catching up, and their public opinion dropping do they decide to break the company up.

Does this mean that a monopoly is good as long as it’s successful, but once it starts stumbling and outlives its use that’s when the government is gonna do something about it?

rekorse ,

More people dislike Google now than before.

DerisionConsulting , in Americans are becoming less religious. None more than this group

Family traditions, even ones that are actively harmful, are hard to break. This religion often seems more than an emotionally abusive relationship

1 Corinthians 14:33-35 (NIV). Comments are in superscript:
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people. ^(Gaslighting.^ ^Also,^ ^Jesus^ ^says^ ^that^ ^he’s^ ^here^ ^to^ ^fuck^ ^shit^ ^up^ ^(Luke^ ^12:49-53.),^ ^so^ ^either^ ^Paul^ ^or^ ^Jesus^ ^is^ ^wrong/lying.^ ^This^ ^assumes^ ^that^ ^God^ ^is^ ^real,^ ^and^ ^that^ ^the^ ^Bible^ ^is^ ^an^ ^accurate^ ^representation^ ^of^ ^what^ ^Jesus^ ^said).^

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. ^(Shut-up^ ^and^ ^obey^ ^me^ ^woman)^
If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. ^(nothing^ ^that^ ^you^ ^say^ ^has^ ^value^ ^to^ ^anyone^ ^who^ ^isn’t^ ^fucking^ ^you,^ ^and^ ^even^ ^then…)^

FundMECFSResearch , in Child rapist Steven van de Velde weeps in first interview since Olympics outrage

“It’s certainly not nothing that’s been fired at you. I think it’s a shame, it’s been 10 years, I’ve played more than 100 tournaments. I understand that it’s an issue, should someone with such a past be allowed to stand on such a podium? That’s a legitimate question.”

He seems somewhat self aware…

  • pineapplelover , in Elon Musk draws fire for playing down impact of America’s atomic bombing of Japan: ‘Not as scary as people think’

    This guy studied physics at MIT right? Doesn’t know how dangerous atomic bombs are?

    moon ,

    He didn’t study at MIT. He studied at UPenn and lied about having graduated from there two years earlier than he did, for some reason

    pineapplelover ,

    Ah my mistake. Reading his wikipedia right now, it says, “he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League university in Philadelphia, where he earned two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in physics, and a Bachelor of Science in economics from the university’s Wharton School.” Had no idea Bachelor of Arts in physics was a thing. But economics is Bachelor of Science? What happened there? Is that a mistake? Physics is a hard science.

    yemmly ,

    At some schools, any major can result in a BA or BS depending on which electives you take.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Definitely resulted in huge pile of BS with Musk.

    Huckledebuck ,

    Yeah, it’s my perception that the BA for sciences are for people that want to teach high school and lower. That’s how i got a math degree. I’m not sure if i could’ve handled any applied math. Abstract algebra kicked my ass twice, and diff eq took me a couple of months in to get comfortable with.

    ECB ,

    My school offered a BA in physics. I never knew anyone who took it (I did the BS) but they claimed it was aimed at theater set- designers.

    Honytawk ,

    He didn’t graduate in Physics either. Only got his degree 2 years after he left school and the school received a “generous endowment”.

    He bought his Physics “degree”

    Do the right thing, and turn in all 30 lbs of that cocaine.

    Yes. Better make sure that 10lbs of cocaine doesn’t get into the hands of people and is properly destroyed by authorities

    Boo-fucking-hoo. I’m so sorry people weren’t so dazzled by your athletic ability to ignore the fact that you’re a rapist. I’m sure the 12 year old you raped is also real fucking worried if her rapist is getting his feelings hurt. I mean, rape is one thing, but bulling? I mean, we have to draw the line somewhere. /s

    FlyingSquid , in 'Worst nightmare of my life': Solitary confinement rises at Houston-area ICE detention center
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    This is just fucking disgusting.

    The PHR and Harvard reports revealed more than 14,000 solitary confinement placements nationwide during a five-year period ending in September 2023, spurring legislation to enact harsher oversight. Since then, the Houston Landing has identified an additional five cases at Montgomery Processing Center, including Bautista’s. Four exceeded the 15 days of confinement defined by the UN as a form of torture.

    Private prisons for immigrant detention have increased since President Joe Biden took office, despite a pledge to reduce the practice. More than 90 percent of detained immigrants are in facilities run by private prison companies, compared to 81 percent during the last year of the Trump administration. GEO Group, the private prison company that runs Montgomery Processing Center, reached a record $1 billion in profits from ICE detention in 2022.

    The use of solitary confinement in federal prisons has also increased despite Biden’s pledge to reduce the practice.

    Bautista filed more than 20 complaints. He protested his prolonged detention. He requested medical help for tooth and back pain. He filed a maintenance request to flush the toilet because of its vomit-inducing smell. He alleged physical abuse by staff. He requested legal calls. He couldn’t understand why he was there.

    Not only is illegal immigration a civil crime, not a criminal one, his wife is a citizen. He was in jail for domestic violence and I will not defend that, but that is not why he was put in solitary. It was only after they discovered his immigration status that it happened. He did nothing to deserve this. No one deserves what actually happens in solitary confinement. It is not just being put in a cell away from everyone else. It’s horrific. I’m not going to dig up examples because it’s too sickening, but you can find plenty of former inmates describe why they now have severe PTSD.

    Asafum , in Trump campaign office near DC burglarized, police say

    I’ll absolutely put my tinfoil hat on for this, but I swear I would not be surprised to find they did this to themselves to play victim and create an “evil Democrats” drama for right wing media to run with for their audience since they’re fumbling so hard with Biden dropping out.

    The two minutes hate needs a new Goldstein since it doesn’t seem to be working currently with Kamala.

    or it was one of his fanbois in a lifted truck, but couldn’t afford the trump signage on it.

    FundMECFSResearch ,

    Your ref makes me think. Similarly to 1984, half of america is in a post-truth world.

    If watergate happened again today, Trump would say “fake news”, liberals would be outraged, and a week later everyone would have forgotten. Welcome to dystopia.

    grue ,

    That’s exactly why Fox News was created in the first place: literally by a member of the Nixon Administration, as a countermeasure against the media reporting the truth during future Watergate-type Republican scandals.

    theweek.com/articles/880107/why-fox-news-created

    www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/…/352363/

    Asafum ,

    Yup! As another user pointed out, it’s exactly why fox news even exists. Their prime time opinion shows are almost literally the two minutes hate they just don’t have a single Goldstein, they have a Goldstein of the week/month.

    Every night they sing lullabies of “hate the liberal. Hate the left. Hate hate hate. Be angry.” They’re like the opposite of the Daily Show, instead of laughter they use anger.
