Why does it seem to me that not only is this a not a suicide, but the way it was done, it's almost movie designed to make it look suspicious so plebs in Ohio like me KNOW it's murder to remind us we are powerless in the face of the wealthy and powerful? In this case, it's perfectly OK to tell me that bitterness and animosity towards the ruling class are twisting my vision, but between the timing, the method, the way the media has no more interest AT ALL. It feels like a half assed written cover up in a mediocre political thriller.

Am I the only one who feels that way? Can you give me some perspective as a longtime investigator of this matter?

Well, I'm hardly a conservative at this point and no Trumper, but I think I can sorta see where they are coming from. And that is the way Epstein died is total in line with the "Clinton Body Count" MO. I dunno if it was to protect Bill or other people in their influence chain, but it smells of Clinton Body Count.

The thing is, I underestimated Trump in 2016, thinking he was totally a BS artist. He's proven himself a masterful troll, a master of manipulating people. But not in running orgs, much less a conspiracy that would have to be this tight.

I could be wrong, but I'd think if the Crown or the Mossad had Epstein whacked, they would have been a lot more subtle about it.

Do you believe there can be a moral way to create loot boxes and microtransactions for a game? I think yeah, like a 50 cent loot box with crafting components and a rare Easter egg item (like a star trek hypo in Fallout 2, it's in,game but normally you can only get three ever) or microtransactions where you say and deliver funds to develop a stupid easy and fun editor program for modders to extend game's shelf life.

Or do you think such things are such moral hazards there is no place for them?

Oh I can imagine and I respect that. I as asking more on the philosophical side rather than your personal implementation, but I think what you said is generally what gamers want.

Thank you.

Hi! I'm wondering if you and the people whom you've worked with/studied with have comedic theories on punching up versus punching down? I'm a trans woman, but I'm a firm believer in at least some kinds of punching down because even hose who are disadvantaged can be obnoxious, vile, hateful and entitled. I personally would not make fun of trans people for being transgender, for obvious reasons, but I absolutely would rip Jessica Yaniv to pieces for her lawsuits against businesses that refused to wax her (still male) genitalia on the very real grounds that they didn't know how to do it safely.

Does that in the comedic world count as punching down? Or is punching down more about making fun of the guy in the wheelchair because he'sn the wheelchair instead of because he's a horrible cunt and tries to run people over with it as he goes down the street?

I apologize if this is too dark a question. I love insightful comedy, and want to be thick skinned enough to laugh with jokes that offend me.thick-skinned
