He was right but it’s still his fault for not wearing his foil hat to block the mind control rays.
North Korea sentenced two teenagers to twelve years of hard labor for watching K-drama.
Colorado pastor says God told him to start a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, defraud his parishoners, and use the money for home renovations.
God really needs a more reliable messaging app. Whatever They is using keeps getting hacked.
Because wealth transfer has always been one of the Lord’s top priorities. Ok, not exactly always.
I believe it’s Two Corinthians that says “Blessed art they whose memecoins hath gone to the Moon, for they shall inherit the kingdom of God, and on the day when the Son of Man (your favorite Messiah, me!) comes in His glory, He shall say unto those that HODLed not; depart from me, for thou art haters and losers who know nothing about “Mr. Christ”.”
I think Job got rugpulled.
This forces me to seriously look sideways at the song “Summer Girls” by LFO.
It’s listed on one of those tablets that Moses accidentally dropped.
Not sure where this belonged, with a whole lot of stupid mixed in.
Here’s a new one (I think). Kyte Baby is a baby clothing company based in Texas that declined a work-from-home request from an employee who adopted a baby still in the NICU after being born early (at 22 weeks) and fired the employee. The employee started a GoFundMe campaign for the NICU costs, adoption fees and legal fees and the employee’s sister posted on TikTok about the situation. The backlash was especially fierce given that the company claims to be mommy-friendly. The CEO posted two apology videos.
Cheaper than posting a check.
My guess is that she’s trying to save her business. This sort of thing could drive customers away.
Firing the asshole(s) who denied the request would do far more.
Unless it was her.
Turns out it was the CEO.
Foot, meet shot.
I’m not sure how evil this is. It was totally illegal, but stealing from the government and from insurance companies is a popular pastime all over this fair country of ours. It’ not like they hurt the old guy. Although after that long dead, who can say if they screwed with his meds or underfed him until he died? So killed him slowly via neglect. About all the coroner could say now is: “The body shows no obvious signs of a majorly violent end.”
It was stupid, because once you start, how do you stop? One of these days you’ll have to admit to the death, dispose of the body all legal-like, and stop the gravy train of money. If you had a way to disguise the fact the body had been dead for years by then you could easily get away with it. But absent e.g. having a friend at a funeral parlor who would fake the DC as a fresh death for you before cremating the evidence, there’s no good way to pass a long-dead body off as fresh.
Of course you could simply dispose of the body all amateur style out in the woods someplace 50 miles away, then wait a couple weeks and tell everybody the senile old man was gone when you both came home from work. Manhunt turns up nothing, it’s winter so unprotected survival is implausibly impossible, you go to court to get an adjudication of presumed death without body and now the gravy train stops, but you get to keep what you’d stolen undetected.
These folks’ real problem was a) they’re stupid, and b) they were totally dependent on his money, so stopping the gravy train was unthinkable, much less too hard to accomplish.
I do wonder that motivated the son-in-law to spill the beans when he did.
I also find it interesting the old man died in 2016, it was Oct 2022 that they admitted to police they had the long-dead body, and it’s now 15 months later that they’re just being charged, not tried. The wheels of justice grind very slowly over there in Overland.
It’s obviously evil, but there is an element of black humor due to the alleged killer’s occupation.
Absolutely. It could have been an incredible marketing campaign (yeah, I am cynical) for the company.
“Our employee adopted a prem baby, and we sponsored his/her clothes, doesn’t he/she look cute!” all over facebook etc.
versus
“We fired our employee for adopting a prem baby”
I think I know which route I would take.
