Not long ago Reddit introduced a new policy thatpunishes people for upvoting bad posts, which includes posts about Luigi Mangione. After that, people have been moving into Lemmy as an alternative.

I can't tell if you're joking or not because that's actually a good explanation... Even if you're on a wheelchair, I can't imagine having a lump of metal in/on/under your shoe being comfortable at all if you have a real foot.

He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground. Upon making contact with the floor, the gun discharged and the bullet hit the victim in the foot.

That's even more bizarre; how does one hide a gun in their shoe??

I fully expected to drop this as soon as I saw the first screen considering this is a movie made by the military, but it actually was interesting that I sat through the whole thing.

One point this film makes that I rarely see online is the idea that oppositions are not dumb. They know what they are doing, and it's not just them accidentally shooting themselves at their foot (at least, not always).

Kinda, but I'm in for research rather than for job opportunities.

First year post-grad! Pay is 1500 USD/month but it's nice getting paid to study, I suppose. Also doing TA too.
