I don't get the joke. Luigi went to an Ivy League school, he had two degrees and a cushy tech job.

I think it's the taking action part, perchance

In my opinion.

He's handsome and has allegedly killed a man; women love that.

Bold of you to refer to a CEO as human.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

and how many people running companies ruining life for people are you being blamed for killing?

In the world of shitpoasters, the state alleges that Luigi took action based on his conviction

That's kinda the definition of alpha male

I've always loved a "bad boy" 😘

Women want all kinds of things, just like men. Trick is finding a man or woman who wants each other, for whatever reasons. Open book test, there are no right answers.

I wanted this, that, the other thing, and some more besides, would have never picked my wife given a list of her physical features, beliefs and attitudes. Not so sure she would have picked "paper" me. But we're powerfully attracted to one another and overlook what we both thought would be "on paper" deal breakers.

I've posted this a lot lately, because I think Vonnegut's words on the matter are really important and been on my mind lately. I'll post the link if you want to have a look. There's a lot to unpack, and I think it's important, not only for relationships, but for our current social attitudes.

“You are not enough people!”

And if you think "not enough people" sounds great, refer back to the quote as to what you might be missing. I sure am missing. We did not evolve to live as we are in 2025.

(can't edit my own posts, AGAIN)

I'll add: Worked with a man from Nigeria who had this sort of family. When his mom died it took months to get the funeral together because 600 people were coming. (Yes, same number as the quote, coincidence.) 600 family members, all known to one another, coming together to celebrate a single person's life. Imagine that.

He was one of the happiest men I've ever known and his family was absolutely sane and loving.
