"Liquidated with bullets"?
Do they mean sprayed with? Is this an AI fuck up or just an expression I've never heard?
Xitter blue check with an emphasis on being anonymous. All signs point to AI bot slop.
It’s a pretty popular page. Think they run the one on bsky too.
I get the impression they aren’t native English speakers though.
I couldn’t find them on Bluesky, but I’m not sure what their @ is there. If you know it please let me know, I’m curious to see if they’re on any of the inauthentic user block lists I use.
And to be honest the use of ‘liquidated’ was like, third on the list for me for why they struck me as likely a bot (Xitter blue check user and the anonymous thing being the first two).
Thanks! They’re not on any of the inauthentic user block lists I subscribe to. So based on that I’d revise my guess to not AI slop, just strange phrasing.
Merriam Webster has this definition for liquidate: To do away with especially by killing.
Huh, it was a euphemism for so long its actually part of the definition now.
I'm fairly sure it comes from basically financial liquidation / liquid assets.
In the latter stages of a bankruptcy, you often sell off a bunch of assets to get as much liquid cash as possible to pay out as much as you can.
So, if you torture that meaning a bit... you liquidate a person who hasn't paid their debts to the mob or w/e, as a way of permanently settling their accounts.
This guy is arguably stretching the definition / euphemism a bit further... but hey, maybe if that dealership's financials actually can't handle that level of property damage, they may actually go bankrupt and financially liquidate.
