they are building airplanes with substandard parts and failing to track the faulty ones

it's probably nothing.

I was going to use a snallypost as a reference but /h/internethistory or whatever is gone.

REALLY MAKES YOU FRICKING THINK.

It's amazing how anything from /r/drama beyond like 2 years ago is being purged. Both posts and people.

!pnw this is the only time I'll ever ping you with information that's actually useful in real life.

The Albertsons-Safeway merger was a fricking farce. It was obvious to everyone that when they sold the stores to Haggen, that was supposed to be their competitor, that it was a scam. They gave up all the stores they were losing money on to Haggen to be the "competition". Everyone knew that Haggen was about to go bankrupt already. And then, shockingly, it goes bankrupt. A lot of stores get shut down and everyone is fired and some of these places are still vacant to this day like it's goddarn Detroit.

I am still mad about this. I would go as far as to say that this pissed me off more than the ending of Mass Effect 3.

A man who attended college with Luigi Mangione and was a member of the same Groomercord group said he was shocked when news broke on social media that Mangione had been taken into police custody.

In the game, called "Among Us," some players are secretly assigned to be killers in space who perform other tasks while trying to avoid suspicion from other players.

Alejandro Romero, who attended the University of Pennsylvania with Mangione and was a member of the same Groomercord group, said he was shocked when news broke on social media that Mangione had been taken into police custody.

"I just found it extremely ironic that, you know, we were in this game and there could actually be a true killer among us," he said.

Holy shit. This is proof of intelligent design - he was the imposter, and he turned out to be sus. You couldn't make this up. Alejandro would be telling his grandchildren this one if zoomers could reproduce.

You definitely should watch it all. Martin Smith knows what he's doing. But if you're reading this you're probably just glancing through this trying to find some way to own your online political opponents so I'll break it down for you:

• Notice that it was actually Assad who created al-Qaeda in Iraq/ISIS/whatever. For some reason nobody has mentioned this for like 20 fricking years but I remember. Contrarian zoomers love to say that Assad/Ghaddafi/etc. were actually good guys because they were our bulwark against Islamists. No they weren't, dipshits. They invented all this stuff.

• Jolani = Golani: This explains a lot. People tend to get "radicalized" when they're run off their land. Fortunately Israel is now creating a buffer zone to protect their buffer zone in the Golan. If that doesn't work, they can just go forward and make a buffer zone for their buffer zone for their buffer zone and never face any consequences.

• He swears he was the high-level AQI leader who was against the strategy of sending suicide bombers to kill as many civilians as possible. He just went along with it. I would be sympathetic if it was a 15-year old boy getting peer-pressured into smoking a cigarette once. I'm not when this guy has the blood (and shredded guts) of a thousand children on his hands.

• He swears that his suicide bombings in Syria were different. He didn't target civilians, and definitely not civilians just because they were Alawi. Sure, Abu Muhammed.

• Torture? Torture??? No, he's the one guy in the Middle East who has never ever been involved in torture.

Overall there's just way too much of this that reminds me of the Mafia. There's this very sanctimonious code of honor among jihadis, but when it comes down to it they're really all just about money. If you can generate money for your bosses then you get promoted.

Many of the leaders of the various factions in the Lebanese Civil War said afterwards something to the effect that yeah, I fricked up, I made mistakes, I did things that were wrong, I bear some share of responsibility for what happened. Now these are not great humanitarians, most of them are basically gangsters, but they at least can look back in hindsight and have some remorse for what they did. When this guy has sent God knows how many kids off to suicide bomb other kids and then he tells us did nothing wrong, I start to feel like I'm being lied to.

I'm cautiously optimistic that the future will be not quite as bad because this guy seems like he's just a sociopath. A sociopath won't hurt unless he has a reason to. The Assads were actually actively trying to be evil. They got off on hurting people. This guy though, he's just a complete fraud. And I would not be surprised if there's quite a few people in the New York PR world who were involved in creating his newer, friendly, compassionate jihadist persona.
