I need to force myself to rewatch it. I watched it when it first came out and laughed my ass off. Then I watched it again about 10 years ago and didn't laugh as much. It wasn't a stretch anymore.

That movie ages so weirdly. I remember like 15 years ago, people on reddit were like: lol this is le literally waht's happening. Later when someon said something like that, people were like: aktschually the subplot is that mediocrity is the real enemy. And now it's back to: lol it's literally idiocracy. Although i already read some comments one or two days ago how that's not the point of the movie.

The Southern District of New York (SDNY) attorney’s office is the same office that ran investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and singer R Kelly. The office also recently charged Sean “Diddy” Combs with sex trafficking and other federal offences.

Oh shit, fam. I thought the Trump admin was gonna give him a pass. Maybe not? I mean, I know NY is not Trump. I’m very happy to read this. I don’t think this can be pardoned because it’s a state charge, not a federal charge? Get ‘em!

No, the way it works is they start an investigation so they can suspend it later. That way if he doesn't do exactly what they want they want they can just re-open the investigation. It's how they handled the Mayor of NYC.

If you can’t engage with dissenting views in a good faith way then what is the point of replying at all? And once again I agree that there are plenty of young men that express hatred and vileness through their own despair, I agree about the manosphere and about the issues they’ve caused. Believe it or not we’re on the same side. Like I believe you when you say you’re capable of feeling empathy, but I’m not telling you to be empathic to hateful people, just to refrain from making assumptions about people—Which you almost seem to do before devolving a hateful homogenization of individuals again. Like do you assume all lonely people are hateful and prejudicial or just men specifically? Does this also encompass people with depression?

The Trump administration already interfered by getting Tate released from jail in Romania. Pam Bondi is already publicly corrupt. Tate has become a political liability for Trump and there’s a clear motive for his administration to put him away. I have more than enough probable cause to be suspicious here.

Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y

The Trump administration already interfered by getting Tate released from jail in Romania.

Trump himself directly interfered with the Romanian investigation, no question. That's not the same thing as the DoJ interfering with the SDNY investigation. Two separate things.

I have more than enough probable cause to be suspicious here.

Suspicion is not evidence that the DoJ has done anything to interfere with the SDNY investigation. In fact, it looks more like Trump/Bondi are not interfering specifically because they don't need to. Tate was gonna get popped by US law enforcement eventually, and was likely banking on Trump saving him. Since he's a liability, all Trump has to do is nothing.

I am not the only one who observed this, but Tate is clearly an insecure human being. He is not a bad looking guy and is quite successful, and yet spout these mysoginistic bs. That guy also needs therapy along with prison sentence.

phoenixz@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y

Yeah I think you don't know who you're dealing with here

He mostly isn't as successful as people think, it's mostly rented expensive crap that made him appear richer than he is. That is not to say he isn't wealthy, just not super rich as he showed off

Either way, that is the least of it. The guy has raped multiple young women just to "break them in" so that he can use them on his sex cam sites. He deals un human trafficking and he brags about all this as well, whilst apparently getting off on just humiliating people.

What this guy "needs" is a US prison joke to teach him some humility, really knowing wiaht he did to these girls.

I wish I wasn't at this level but people like him just no longer serve a purpose on this world. Once out of jail, he's the type that will just continue being him, he'll continue doing what he always has done. I'm conflicted as I'm against the death penalty, but this guy is just the type that is a cancer on humanity. You can't cure it, you can't make it better, you can only remove it and continue without it.
