news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

What gets me is that it's such a benign amount of money. It's like tangible and understandable. When I think of trophy hunting I think of people in 10 million dollar houses who have personal chefs spending mind numbing money to completely altar their reality. So I guess I expected something more disgusting to be more expensive in turn. It's like if you had an anger problem and left it unaddressed until after you got a good tech job for a half a decade you could live out your American school system fantasy and then visit Italy in the same trip. It's just like when politicians get bought off for <10k. What? Did you need to make ends meet on a new car?! What the fuck are you talking about?!
I guess there are only so many rhinos, people are plentiful. Supply and demand or something.
In the end it all adds up; you look and see 1 ten thousand dollar payment, but they get tons of those.
