    Life imitates art in some ways, but people getting shot in the shoulder still have fucked up shoulders and often die, no matter how much movies want you to believe that it’s a wound you can just shrug off.

    Similarly, executives make business decisions that result in thousands of people dying. But, executives in multi-billion dollar companies don’t contract out to hitmen to murder people who hurt their companies. That’s just movie stuff, and you’re naive to think it happens in reality.

      And you know this how?

        Common sense? The lack of historical precedent? The fact I can watch movies and be aware that they don’t represent reality?

          So you pulled it out of your ass.

          Have a nice day.

            I made a decision based on reality. I didn’t decide someone had hired a hitman to kill a whistleblower because it seemed realistic to me based on watching too many movies. Believing that is also “pulling it out of your ass”, but without any basis in actual reality.
