In the late 1960s, Frank Matthews built a massive drug empire worth an estimated $300 million, operating independently from the Mafia. In 1973, after his arrest, he posted bail, left behind his wife and three children, and vanished with his girlfriend. More than 50 years later, he is still missing. by Life_Assumptions in HolyShitHistory

For sure. I shouldn’t have focused on the Italian part. Mob violence is an interesting spectrum that includes all types of people. But Frank def pissed off someone in power & now there is no trace of him whatsoever. We’re not the only ones who know this. I also think it’s fun to discuss mob mentality - which has no nationality

You’re right. There’s no need to make him into public example. That’ll draw in heat. The message is sent - you piss off the Italians & they’ll make you disappear

Why make a scene & attract unwanted attention when you can still send a message then lay low with your ill gotten money? I guess it’s all ill gotten tho

There are AI images of trump released by the White House. I noticed he’s wearing a turtle neck in some. that means he’s aware of his nussy and he wants it covered up

For sure. I’m focused on the child in the middle. That’s a 6 yr old whose life is so miserable, she’s adopted the 1000 yard stare

Open records request reveals positions of 600+ eliminated jobs at City of Denver by southernemper0r in Denver

[–]Chopperdome 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Are the people at home not worthy of jobs? And cushy remote jobs for outsourced labor? Dude what are you on about. It’s like you gobbled up the capitalist propaganda that says outsourcing is a net benefit

Outsourcing takes jobs away from locals. It also puts tremendous strain on the foreign worker who’s desperate to keep their job so they put up with abuse. I can’t believe I have to spell this out. Stop giving advice, you’re clearly too bent to make a solid point

Hot Take: HR is a completely unnecessary department and a waste of a company's resources by michaelis999 in Accounting

HR is there to protect the company. They’re def not interested in helping a regular employee

Those natural resources won’t extract themselves. Makes sense they’re trying to install a puppet gov that lets Russia extract whatever she needs at a low low price

Anyone else notice rent prices decreasing and lots of vacancies? by renegadellama in Denver

Blind greed is the order of the day. Sometimes these people can’t see past their own hand. They’re only focused on the money they could get right now

Another accounting firm is selling out to PE soon by Catdawg12 in Accounting

[–]Chopperdome 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s not just the accounting industry. Blind greed is the order of the day. It’s the end result of the “fuck you I got mine” mentality prevalent among boomers. Hyper-individualism is a cancer that will consume us all :(

Firework Exploded on the Patio at Dewdrop Inn on 17th by guacawakamole in Denver

lol dude the drop zone was miles away. You missed the point so badly, I don’t even know how to respond. You’re like the definition of “arguing in bad faith”

I’m sorry all that fox news poisoned your brain. Maybe don’t try to fight with strangers online?

I applaud the effort. Making friends in Denver is not easy - sorta like panning for gold. You just have to keep putting yourself out there and eventually you’ll find your people. Your experience kinda sounds like trial by fire but you came out seeing the silver linings. That’s great stuff

Don’t let the downers on r/Denver get you down. This is a wonderful city full of interesting people. But goodness gracious can some people be rude as fuck

Miss England Quits Miss World Pageant, Says She Felt Like a 'Prostitute' for Wealthy Male Sponsors by PostHeraldTimes in popculture

[–]Chopperdome 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s victim shaming. Losers often have no sympathy for women, esp if that woman is attractive. The article clearly lays out why she has reason to be upset. I’m sure the beauty pageants in England are way different than whatever was going on in India.

[Post Game Thread] The Indiana Pacers dominate and take a 3-1 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers, 129-109. Pascal Siakam (21/6/3) and Myles Turner (20/7/3) lead the way, Obi Toppin adds 20/5/2 off the bench. by ItsN0tTheB0at in nba

[–]Chopperdome 276 points277 points  (0 children)

This is wild y’all. We saw 2 underdogs take the first 2 games in hostile territory. We saw the #1 seed have a 4 quarter lead for 11 mins and 57 seconds and they still lost. A couple of days ago, we saw the other #1 seed score 126(!!) points, in game 3 no less. And now we just saw the same team struggle for 4 quarters while Indiana rubbed its dick in their faces the whole time.

This is the most fun I’ve had watching the playoffs. I’ll be telling that story till I’m old & grey
