The ridiculous part is the complexity and number of people who would need to keep a secret.
That is exactly right. That is where it all falls apart.

CEO admits to whistleblowers being disciplined at work (which everyone knew, he just is saying it)... suddenly becomes He admitted murder!
Sad. If you make up a reality because you feel that way, you are no better then they are.
If it was purely about money, major league sports wouldn’t be spending millions on their players.
Of course they would, there are only so many to go around. They sell seats and products. That is how it works. You spend money to make a winning team, you appease the fans, you make money. OR you are really rich and want to brag about having a winning team. Money, Money, Money.
This person only wants to be the best in their league.
Who doesn't?
I am not disagreeing that it is difficult to figure out rules if you want to make it fair for everyone competing, but the reality is businesses are making money, and this is a diversion that does not make them money.
I think you make a valid point that someone could be trying to find fairness in a difficult situation without being anti-trans.
On the other hand, it's sports. Which is not driven by fairness, but by money. I don't give a shit either way, as far as I am concerned dope everyone up the gills and modify everyone into super humans, it is just silly sports. But I am not the person paying or advertising.
And that is all that matters. Will the advertisers put in money, and will people pay to watch. Currently, the society of those groups of people say no.
Way ahead of you. I would never buy an Xbox. Or anything microsoft for that matter. It's just been better this way.
Shrimps is perfectly acceptable and correct, so watchout, any of those examples could happen....
I never did get a music subscription of any kind. Guess I am glad about that now. I just host my own server. Spotify never had a quarter of what I want to listen to anyways so I guess there is that.
Listening to Legion of Mary 12-10-1974 right now.
Thank goodness. I hate most current UI.
It's funny that one thing I really liked about it was the floating windows and toolbar. Then everyone complained and they brought it all together. But now people I work with using software that we pay nearly a million dollars to license are getting all excited becuase they introduced.... floating windows.
Seems like every time I look at internet companies the first thing that comes to mind is why is the labor not forming a collective?
If the artists owned the distribution via a artists collective at least the profits would be split up in some more fair fashion.
Same with food delivery.
Same with Video production and delivery (peer to peer with each creator adding a node if you want to go that route).
Same with car driving services
and so on.
Edit: i never thought that I would get a downvote on lemmy for suggesting maximum money and ownership in a product by the authors but here we are, lol!
At that point you might as well go with a steamdeck. Works with or without the mouse/keyboard/screen and can play games. The desktop environment is full kde and ready to go.
No they are not that suspicious at all. The first death served no purpose unless you really believe it was a "fuck you" death.
The second wasnt much better, but come on, they really got a hospital involved? Do you know how stupid that sounds?
I DO think CEO's, members of the board, and rich shareholders have legislative and other protections. At the very least the ability to send lawyers to court for the rest of their lives if they had to. I believe they can get away with quite a lot, and probably make money doing it even if caught. So none of that, NONE of that means resorting to murder. There just isn't really a need to.
If this were a case of targeted blackmail, perhaps somekind of love affair gone wrong or some kind or really nasty shit, then I could see it.
You can ruin peoples lives, create shoddy products, pollute the land, boss people around, and you won't get in any trouble if you are rich. No need to murder anyone.
