It has been absolutely hilarious watching the death of Twitter but also concerning because Twitter served (until this terrible decision) as an important tool for popular personalities and important local services or government officials to communicate with the general public or their audiences and without that, getting important information might become a little more difficult which concerns me.
I’m not sure if anyone else feels this way, but the sight of many ads on the internet makes my blood boil like nothing else. I think it’s because some ads treat your intelligence like you’re a brainwashed idiot who will fall for anything. Ads like these are the reason I use adblock.
After looking at the photos of the submarine that’s missing, I have no clue how people who are as rich and successful as the ones who were on board could pay such insane amounts of money to board that tiny tin-can of a submarine and go 12,500 feet under the sea without having a sense of, “You know what? This probably isn’t the greatest idea ever. I probably shouldn’t do this.” It boggles my mind.
If the tickets cost $50, there's no way anyone would have thought "this is a good idea." But they charged so much people who could afford to pay for the tickets assumed competence. Parallels with the Titanic are obscene...
I agree, I reckon they could’ve pooled their money together and built or bought something safer than this, maybe with some more room too. Or go to another company.
Looks like the electric universe people have found their way onto this website. Some guy in this thread was even promoting a debunked disaster prediction app that was created by a lawyer who is not a scientist. Literally the first paragraph, “Scientists have identified a striking correlation between global seismic activity – earthquakes, to be precise – and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation measured on Earth’s surface.” Cool, a correlation, not really “directly linked to.” Correlation is not causation.
