Imagine he wore a fat man body suit and wore a Trump face mask. Then, mistake it as Trump actually doing it. What are the chances they would arrest Trump for it and NOT just say "welp. Just find another CEO"
Use their own predatory generative AI against them. Generate a Random White Guy face to print on the mask, use it for your best Luigi impression, toss it, rinse and repeat for a brand new never-before-seen face each time.
if you have the funds, secure a palate of these now. that way if we ever have another Occupy-style mass protest, you can show up and distribute as many as you can, especially to people who look like they'd make good Luigis.
it is now not that it matters since meta and google already has all the same data. drumpf wants to buy tiktok... it also blew up in their faces when nearly everyone went to rednote anyway.
It wouldn't be convincing irl but it doesn't have to be. It's enough to conceal your face without standing out like a ski mask would. Anybody who looks you in the face isn't going to be convinced but anybody walking by isn't going to notice out of the corner of their eye that something's wrong and you won't stand out in any meaningful way on video. Keep your head down and be in and out quickly and it'd be super effective in keeping your identity hidden without drawing attention.
This would be a great way to stay safe and anonymous in public once the proud boys start roaming neighborhoods and taking the undesirables. Its just another white dude getting in his car? As you were, dude.
the way it works is that the police/immigration stop you, ask a few questions, ask for your ID, then they noticed you haven't blinked the entire time,... are still not blinking... holy crap, that's creepy as s**t and get the hell outta there
I think that’s sort of the point? Like of course it wouldn’t stand up to any direct scrutiny, but most criminals seem to be tracked through security cameras and that sort of surveillance
Haha, Luigi, 4 days after the murder and having his face plastered on every screen nationwide, got caught in a fucking McDonald's with the murder weapon on him... It'd take a lot more than a mask to keep that dude from getting caught. I'd bet he wanted to get caught because I refuse to believe he's that stupid.
And with his manifesto admitting to the crime and why he did it in the backpack, providing all the motive a prosecutor could ever want. He HAS to have gotten caught on purpose.
It’s a marketplace of sellers so experience will vary. I’ve ordered there quite a bit and never been ripped off. Most issues are just related to shipping times so far. Look at the individual item to see buyer protections. “Choice” items usually have better protections but you have to look as the protections under Choice are not uniform across all items.
'choice' ones usually also cost more than the free market versions of same products though, so take your pick. Aliexpress is a few different shops in a trenchcoat, the 'ebay' type side you mostly want to avoid.
Nope. We are not at a Police/Surveillance state quite yet, but 6-8 years we will be. Democracy is dead, Republicans will repeat in four years with Vance and then when we quit talking about it, and actually become physical rebels, will the need for a full time system that will shut down disguises like this.
Do you recall just a few years back when governments were asking people all around the world to mask up? When everyone was doing it and concealing your face in public was normal? Lots of petty criminals still weren't wearing masks then. I can't imagine it'll be different here.
This misses out several other forms of theft. Legislative influence meaning certain sorts of wage theft are legal, the financial value of time theft. Rich people making their companies and themselves functionally untaxed. Influencing legislation to drive criminality for prison and insurance benefits.
I've seen this claim a couple times and I've been curious about it for a while. Does anyone know where the wage theft data comes from? Who is collecting and recording the data? I'm sure businesses aren't reporting their own crimes, and if it was people reporting it to the cops, judging from that graph 75% of all cops job would be writing wage theft reports and investigating them. My gut still tells me that it's true I just wanna know the facts.
It's extremely difficult to estimate because not all states provide complete data, but the one that I saw most recently was for $68.8 Billion between 2000 and 2019. My understanding is those dates are inclusive, so that'd be $3.44B per year. That'd place just below auto theft. The real amount is likely much higher, though, due to the missing data.
Do these actually work though? A video with one that is specifically made to fit the contours of whoever is modeling it's face makes me wonder. Like what if I have a fat face or something 😂
The USPS and China Post have a special agreement to undercharge on shipping on small consumer packages, you're paying the actual shipping price in Canada and all of the US is subsidizing people buying cheap Chinese shit here
If that seems like a way to encourage the proliferation of scummy dropshipping operations and move even more manufacturing overseas at the expense of the American worker, that's because it is.
I hadn't heard about this. Trying to look it up, it looks like the rates may have been changed since 2018, possibly tripled. But, suspiciously, most sources I saw were right leaning.
Actually I found it by clicking on the top comment in this post. This was actually more of a reply to that comment where the other person shared the link first. Although, I suppose now it's changed in the past few hours, and that comment may have been burired since I posted the pic and stole their thunder.

I almost think Luigi wanted to get caught to be sort of a symbol. He knew people would rally behind him.
Illinifan88
At first I didn't think there was any way this would be convincing, but once he adjusted it and put his hood on, yea.
SnakuPlisskin
It wouldn't be convincing irl but it doesn't have to be. It's enough to conceal your face without standing out like a ski mask would.

NoTeEnchiles
If he doesn't get caught, we don't get to have the trial; televised so we can have the national goddamn conversation. Thank you Luigi!
rudejohn
And with his manifesto admitting to the crime and why he did it in the backpack, providing all the motive a prosecutor could ever want. He HAS to have gotten caught on purpose.
NChomsky
I wish he hadn't, because that would've provided a more conducive environment for encouragement to copycats.
Arracor
I've been saying for months, Luigi was set up. The real shooter got away squeaky clean and they needed to "catch the guy" so no other poors/

Basically the quality you should expect is below dollar store levels
HaraDaya
You can get a lot of products that others slap their logo on and resell, e.g. they're fine. But you skip the quality testing when buying directly.
wadatahmydamie
Yeah. It’s a great way to waste money on cheap plastic shit. But on the bright side, you do get to fund child labor
HaraDaya
The bright side is how you can buy pretty much any electrical component ever made and fix your things instead of throwing them out.

Ha. True. Hey, unrelated, where do you suppose a person buys such a mask?
