I dunno, being in a reddit thread for a big game isn’t really much of a discussion. It’s just flowing text like Twitch chat. Exciting maybe, but I don’t think it’s all that valuable.

The same can be said about any crime though, right? If you’re found guilty of murder, they drop the alleged and you’re just a murder. If you successfully appeal, then the title is dropped.

Lol I can’t believe this article frames the whole thing as if it’s terrible news that the economy will never recover from.

Actually, I can believe it. It’s just disgusting.

“I think flexibility is here to stay,” she said.

This is the problem with academics. They do a study, find something is logically better, then assume humans will act logically.

Unfortunately, most CEOs don’t give a shit if their employees are more happy, productive, and less likely to quit if they work remotely. They just want to feel like they have control over people’s lives, which is why we’re seeing more return to office initiatives.

I used to work on the website for a utility company that insisted on ridiculous uptime. Our major deployments risked taking the system down for a few seconds, though in practice that never happened.

As a result, they made us do deployments starting at 3:00 in the morning since that was the least active time on the site. Fuuuuuuuuck that place.

My brother is an air traffic controller at one of the world’s busiest international airports and I can assure your their system uptime is no where close to 3 9s.

It would also be in stark defiance of Amazon’s stated climate goals, which center on reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

That’s not lost on the tech giant. But as Amazon spokesperson Margaret Callahan told the NYT, the “world looks different now than when we co-founded the climate pledge.”

What the fuck? They looked at the world recently and said “yeah, climate change isn’t as much of a problem as it was before”?!?

If you think the title is misleading, you might not understand what he plead guilty to. It wasn’t just stalking. It was stalking resulting in death.

Federal sentencing guidelines suggest a range of 24 to 30 years in prison. However, because the stalking resulted in death, federal prosecutors intend to seek the maximum sentence of life in prison.

It was stalking leading to death, for which they’re asking for life in prison. So not your run of the mill stalking case. There are a few people downplaying the seriousness of this guilty plea, but denial is the first step in the stages of grief. He’s going away for life.

I am guessing you are being sarcastic here, because I assume it is not common to get life in prison for stalking. Even one resulting in death.

I am not. From a CNN article “Federal sentencing guidelines suggest a range of 24 to 30 years in prison. However, because the stalking resulted in death, federal prosecutors intend to seek the maximum sentence of life in prison. His federal sentencing is scheduled for December 18, 2026.”

Not sure why you’re down playing the seriousness of this news. If you’re still holding onto hope that Luigi is going to get a slap on the wrist or something, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

How so? He plead guilty to guilty to federal stalking charges resulting in death, for which he will likely be sentenced to life in prison.

See, this is exactly what I’m talking about.

SatansMaggotyCumFart is almost always making a joke. Every once in a while he says something not joking or trolling, and it’s wierd.

Yeah, seems complicated.

Mangione still faces murder charges in a state trial set to begin next month, but his guilty plea in federal court is expected to have significant impacts on the state trial. New York state’s strict double jeopardy law could potentially upend those proceedings. That law says that a defendant can’t be tried twice for the same thing.

Mangione’s defense team cited that law in a motion filed Friday, shortly after his federal guilty plea, urging state court Judge Gregory Carro to dismiss state charges against him, including a count of 2nd degree murder. If successful, that legal maneuver could spare Mangione a longer prison term.

I can’t imagine the state dropping charges because he pled to stalking, while also admitting the murder.

Yeah, no jury at all. State charges are still pending, so we’ll see if those continue. Seems unlikely to have a state trial if he’s already plead guilty to federal charges.

I dunno though, I’m not a lawyer.

Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old accused of killing a health care executive on a Manhattan street, pleaded guilty to stalking charges in federal court Friday.

Mangione faced those charges in connection with the December 2024 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

“I knew what I was doing,” Mangione said in court Friday. “I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died.”

Thompson’s family was in the courtroom sitting in the front row watching as Mangione entered his plea. Mangione voiced no remorse and repeatedly referenced his concerns with the U.S. health care system.

Wow, I was expecting this to go to trial and be more drawn out.

I hate how accurate that is

Yeah, I was saying the cheating being AI usage is what couldn’t be proven. They mentioned a few other possibilities like the tests being leaked or people working off camera with them.

But yeah, the cheating is obvious. And the likelihood of it being done by AI is damn near certain.
